76 Chapter 17: Imperial Dr. Yen, Serving Poison (1/2)

”Because of how you looked so healthy when you left, there was a guy who questioned if it was really poison and ate it,” Ren said.

”Who is that fool?” Yen asked. The poison used was fugu poison, the effects of the poison took some time to show up after eating.

”The cabinet minister has gone numb. There is a large commotion over there.” Ren answered.

”Since we are already in this situation, I suggest you let him use this.” She rummaged through her bosom and took out a purse. It was a vomit-inducing drug she put in her breasts. ”I made it, so it'll make you vomit to the point of turning your stomach.”

”Hey, that'll make it a poison then?” Ren said in an amazed tone.

”There's also a court physician here. There's no problem to leave it to him.” Yen stopped her steps, suddenly remembering.

”What's wrong?” Ren asked.

”I have something to ask you. Someone I want to bring along with us.”

”Who could that be?” He frowned, head tilted.

”Can you call for Consort Hui-sama?” Yen said in a dignified voice.

The summoned Consort Hui, who smiled happily at Ren with a look of springtime, looked at Yen who had put her veil back on with an unamused 'oh it's you' expression. Perhaps she couldn't calm down, and she was rubbing her left hand with her right hand — a childish woman. They had planned to go to the medical office, but because of the crowd there due to the stupid big shot, they had no choice but to use an unused office. Comparing them like this, there was a difference in the building structure to the inner palace and the medical office. Consort Hui made a slightly sulky face at the plain, unrefined large room.

The one who came in after them in succession was the only person they had requested Yijun to get.

Yen drank the lukewarm antidote. She would be fine even if she didn't drink it. She drank it, so to speak, for caution's sake, and so the medicine wasn't compounded by the other person in vain. Different to the quack doctor, this court physician seemed superior. If he knew about fugu poison, he should have understood that an antidote was pointless.

Setting down the cold liquid, she bowed once to Consort Hui. ”Excuse me.”

”!?” Yen took hold of the consort's left hand and pulled up her long sleeves, revealing a graceful white arm.

”As I suspected.” Skin that was supposed to be smooth to touch had broken out in red rashes.

”There are things you can't eat, right? Among seafood.” Consort Hui cast her eyes down.

”What does that mean?” Ren asked her with his arms crossed. Yen took a moment to think as explaining allergies in this era is hard

”Depending on the person, there are those who respectively have things they can't eat. Aside from seafood, there are also things like egg, wheat, and dairy products.” Yen explained

”How did you know about that?” The consort timidly asked.

”Before that, is your stomach okay? It doesn't look like you have nausea or cramps though,” Yen asked.

At the words, ”If you like, I'll dispense you a laxative,” the consort shook her head vigorously.
