Chapter 16 - Oral Administration
Xiao Qingqian looked at her for a moment and shook his head.
To be able to gain such trust from Xiao Qingqian, Tian Sisi felt a warm feeling in her heart.
”My prince, you must explain this to Elder Sister Princess properly. If I were to poison her, I definitely wouldn't take the tonifying soup I stewed myself with!”
Hearing this, Xiao Qingqian was even more sure that this had nothing to do with Tian Sisi.
Calmly holding her hand, he walked towards Wei Qing's hall.
Wei Qing's face was green and white, looking extremely frightening.
The doctor was at a loss. Hearing the footsteps, he looked into Xiao Qingqian's serious eyes and immediately knelt down.
”What's the situation?” Xiao Qingqian asked.
”Your highness, this little one had carefully inspected the food of the wangfei and did not find any poisonous substance!”
Xiao Qingqian said softly, it seemed like this matter really had nothing to do with Yue Shuang!
”My prince!” Die'er knelt down with a 'putt', ”How can this have nothing to do with Concubine Tian? The young miss drank the tonifying soup sent by the Concubine Tian, that's why she was like this! ”
Xiao Qingqian frowned, he glared at the doctor.
The doctor hurriedly shook his head and explained, ”Your Highness, there really isn't any poison in this soup!”
Die'er pointed at him, her face filled with anger, ”What benefits did the Concubine Tian give you?”
The doctor stammered, unable to utter a word. In the end, he could only stifle the words, ”Injustice!”
”Your Highness, either this doctor is a warlock with no real ability or he was bribed by the Concubine Tian!” Die'er argued.
”What do you want?” Xiao Qingqian's heavy eyes were locked on Die'er, and there was no sound of joy or anger in them as he asked.
”Eldest Miss just suffered such a severe injury, don't tell me that you don't feel the slightest bit guilty?”
Xiao Qingqian squinted his eyes. The warm yellow candle flame flickered in his eyes, but there was not the slightest bit of warmth, only coldness and killing intent.
”Your Royal Highness, please!”
The five words that Die'er had spoken were loud and clear, and she could not back down in the slightest.
Xiao Qingqian let out a light harrumph, his gaze landed on Wei Qing's face, and called for the hidden guards to go get a doctor.
Very quickly, the imperial physician arrived at Prince Chu’s Mansion.
After taking Wei Qing's pulse, her face became solemn.
”How is it?” Xiao Qingqian asked.
”The wangfei was indeed poisoned!”
Hearing that, Xiao Qingqian's frown deepened.
”The young miss was poisoned after she drank the tonifying soup sent by the Concubine Tian.” Die'er said.
The imperial physician told Die'er to bring the tonifying soup over and carefully examined it, ”There isn't any poison!”
”How is this possible?” Die'er's tone was getting worse.
”Enough, stop guessing so much!” Xiao Qingqian lost all patience, his voice was as cold as the winter.
Die'er bit her lips with a furious look on her face.
”The princess was injured before?” The imperial physician's gaze fell on Wei Qing's neck.
”En!” Die'er nodded.
The imperial physician asked Die'er to bring the medicinal prescription over and looked at it seriously.
”There is a reason why everything in the world is compatible with each other. Although the things in the tonifying soup are not poisonous, if we come across another medicine that is also not poisonous, it is very likely to become poison.”
”But Miss doesn't have any medicinal ingredients in her food!” Die'er's eyes were filled with worry.
”It's the princess' medicine!”
