Chapter 204: All the Bad Debts of Supporting Women
"Your Highness, the King of War, please allow me to study it first." Dean He took the ice silkworm from Jing Muyang.
He and Mr. Fang Lin have already studied red-top cardamom, which is non-toxic.
As for the honeydew flower, although they had never seen it, the nectar brewed by bees was generally non-toxic. They could not understand why the highly poisonous ice silkworm could be controlled when these three substances were mixed together.
Logically speaking, it should still be poisonous, and being frozen for seven years would only make the ice silkworm's poison worse. They didn't know how this was handled in the middle, and they also didn't know what the antidote Bai Lishang took was.
Dean He opened his medicine box, which contained many tools and preparations for testing toxicity. Mr. Fang Lin cut off a few pieces of ice silkworm with a knife, crushed them, and divided them into many portions. He and Dean He then began to test each tool and reagent on the table one by one.
Chu Jian watched from the sidelines, their method had a lot of laboratory-like appearance, except without test tubes, centrifuges, or analyzers, so their chances of success in any time were slim.
This made her heart sink again.
"Grandpa Fanglin, why does Tianshan Holy Land give the Saint Girl ice cardamom?" Chu Jian asked again in response to Qing Mu's question, "This ice cardamom is so restrictive to the Saint Master and the Saint Girl, and there is no apparent benefit at all, so why do they still need to take it?"
"I don't know, maybe it's just to restrain the Holy Lord and the Holy Lady." Mr. Fang Lin had thought about this problem a long time ago, but he never figured it out.
Why would a normal person take poison for no reason? Are they abnormal?
Mr. Fanglin frowned, stopped what he was doing, and stared at Chu Jian to observe her carefully. Her physical condition did not seem to indicate that she had ever been seriously ill or poisoned.
Even the fact that she took the Ice Cardamom was just a coincidence. A hint of it appeared on the day she and Jing Muyang consummated their marriage, and was discovered by him. A few days later, no trace of it was left.
Including the poisoning during pregnancy and a few days ago, only the pulse was strange at the time. Once it stabilized, the strange pulse disappeared, and there was no trace of the poisoning.
Normally speaking, with such a severe ice silkworm poison, there shouldn't be any signs of illness or poison at all.
"Girl, you really don't remember anything about Tianshan in the past?"
“No.” Chu Jian shook her head. How could she know about the Holy Maiden of Tianshan? That was not her life.
"Then you said you knew the Ghost Hand Doctor..."
"I don't know him. He deceived Bai Lishang." Chu Jianxia said.
"Can you tell me what you remember?" Mr. Fanglin always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"I..." Mr. Fanglin's sharp eyes made Chu Jian sit back unconsciously, "I can't remember much."
"Really? First, tell me who you learned your medical skills from. Especially where did you learn your anatomical techniques? You once said that you watched a heart surgery. Where did you see it? And who is your grandfather who has great medical skills and where is he?"
Mr. Fang Lin studied Chu Jian for a long time, and there were many things he couldn't understand.
"I..." Chu Jian was speechless after being asked a series of questions by Mr. Fang Lin and almost couldn't sit still.
These were what she said when she first appeared in this world. At that time, she was with Mr. Fang Lin every day, and she didn't realize that this was a different world, so she naturally said a lot without restraint. It was normal that he heard a lot of it, but she didn't expect that he still remembered so many details.
Mr. Fanglin knew that Chujian was not the eldest daughter of the prime minister when he followed them back to Beijing and arrived in Yuzhou. However, he was not interested in her identity. What interested him was her knowledge of medicine.
Especially when it came to treating external injuries, her technique was even more skilled than Jin Xiang's needlework. But even so, when she first started learning medicine from him, she couldn't even prepare the simplest medicine.
These are all mysteries. At that time, I just thought she was a playful coroner. But now it seems that the first meeting was not that simple.
"Why can't you tell me?" Mr. Fanglin asked, "Siming is on the verge of death, and you didn't even go to your grandfather who has great medical skills. Girl, what can you, as a mother, hide at this time?"
“I didn’t hide anything, but these are all insignificant things, and I can’t remember the details myself. It’s like a dream. The more I think about it, the less clear it becomes. I can’t even remember what my grandfather looks like.
I don’t know who I learned those medical skills from. I feel like I was born with them, and I also feel like my grandfather taught me. But I don’t know how he taught me, and in my memory, apart from my grandfather who has become a blur, it seems like I’ve always been the only one who knows how to do it…”
Chu Jian opened his eyes and started talking nonsense, but it had nothing to do with Siming anyway.
"You..." Mr. Fanglin knew that she was lying, but he had no way to refute her. "Forget it, you can tell me later when you remember it."
Ms. Fanglin turned back to discuss with Dean He. She glanced at Jing Muyang covertly at first glance. She was a little worried that the fact that she came from another world would be exposed to everyone sooner or later. By then, she might be a saint or a witch. Nothing was known.
Jing Muyang patted her hands to reassure her, even though he himself was unsure and becoming more and more unsure.
The origin of Chu Jian's identity is unknown. The fairy from Nanwu is definitely not as simple as the Saint Maiden of Tianshan. No one knows how much Bai Lishang knows, and there is no way to even find out from him.
And if the antidote really can't be found, she will definitely compromise for the sake of Siming's first meeting. How much humiliation will she have to endure? Jing Muyang felt heartbroken when he thought of this. Would he still be unable to protect her even if she came back?
Chu Jian calmed down and joined Mr. Fang Lin and his team in the experiment.
First of all, we need to know what type of toxin this ice cardamom belongs to. The last time Mr. Fang Lin used Tianxiang for the experiment, it was completely a guess. He used Tianxiang to detoxify, but the toxin transformation process was too dangerous. At that time, people thought the toxin was detoxified, but in fact it was only temporarily suppressed.
Moreover, Tianxiang is no longer effective for the late stage of Ice Broad Cardamom. Using it again will only increase the risk and may even lead to direct death. Now they can only find other ways.
Knowing the ingredients for the poison, they could always make an antidote. It just took time to experiment, so they had to hurry.
At this time, the fourth prince Jing Muyun came over. He and the crown prince were responsible for sealing up the Five Princes' Mansion. Today, the emperor was in charge of supervising the matter personally. He spent the whole morning in the Five Princes' Mansion but found no useful clues. All of them were related to the mess of keeping women, and he was extremely generous to them.
However, nothing was found about Chu Jian's talk of colluding with Prince Qi, the hunting incident, and betraying the prince.
Concubine Ming was arguing and pestering Concubine Yun in the palace, saying countless bad things about her since they first met. She even dragged out the empress, who had been suppressed and had been indifferent for a long time last year, and insisted that the empress come out to uphold justice.
