Chapter 305 Accidental Discoveries
“They should feel anxious, not . One day, they will beg to check it.”
Lin ngya saw through them and figured that they were trying to make it hard on her.
Unfortunately, Lin ngya was not a pushover. Sooner or later, all of them would realize how stupid they were to stop her.
“Alright, but Master, why do these people in the palace behave so impolitely? The servants in our house are much better than them. Look at them. All of them bluff arrogantly and swagger before you.”
Whenever she ntioned it, Baisu would beco furious. Back in their house, whoever t Lin ngya would behave respectfully. However, before anything happened, those people in the palace had co to insult Lin ngya one by one.
Lin ngya could hold her temper, while Baisu was different.
“It’s common in the palace. Outside the palace, I’m the honorable Princess Yu, but in the palace, anyone we et is either Lady of Handso Fairness or Lady of Compete Countenance at least. Of course, we can’t have the sa treatnt as before. Let’s forget what happened today. Don’t be rush. I understand that you’re protecting . But lots of honorable figures are hidden in the palace. Who will we et tomorrow? Who knows?”
In fact, Lin ngya had already prepared ntally for this.
However, the continuous encounters, did provoke her anger.
Those were precisely the consequences of the Empress taking control over the harem after the Emperor’s illness. The Emperor and the Crown Prince should promote them to make it hard on her.
In order to survive in the palace, Lin ngya had to endure more of such grievances in the future.
However, staying in the palace was indeed helpful to her.
Doctors did take precautions against her checking the Emperor’s case file, but they did not stop her from reading dical classics or studying ordinary or valuable herbs. Lin ngya could study all kinds of prescriptions in her free ti.
Qiu Yu would pretend to be unfamiliar with Lin ngya back at the Court of Imperial Physicians every ti. Thus, Lin ngya had decided to echo his superficial unfamiliarity.
In others’ presence, both of them kept a distance from each other like strangers. But whenever others could not see, they could easily understand each other by a wink or a smile.
Suddenly, Lin ngya had an epiphany—they were fooling those doctors around.
Qiu Yu did have his own reason to act like that. Lin ngya only found him more interesting.
In others’ eyes, Lin ngya seed like a quiet, honest princess, who read dical books or studied dicine in her room.
Besides, her scary maid was guarding at the door against those disgusting flies or spies.
Truth be told, Lin ngya kept watching everything around her through the books.
She had already t two of the four great doctors of the Court of Imperial Physicians. Thus, she believed that Su Tong was too sophisticated to take action personally so easily.
All in all, she had to make greater efforts to see the Emperor.
After reading for a while, Lin ngya got tired. She and Baisu headed out to walk around a small garden in the Court of Imperial Physicians. Lots of herbs planted were planted in the garden due to those doctors’ managent.
The analysis model of Shen Nung had been activated by accident. Then, a trendous amount of data flashed in her head, like printing.
Those fresh herbs had a better effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials. Lin ngya wandered around and then stopped in front of a small artificial stream.
What’s this?
Lin ngya scanned those herbs and noticed an unimpressive herb in a corner.
It’s strange to mix this herb with other herbs. Did the doctors do it out of negligence by accident?
“Your Highness? Your Highness?”
Lin ngya ca to her senses and saw an immature face.
He was a teenager at Xiaoyu’s age, with a shy smile. He greeted her overcautiously.
“Oh, sorry. I lost myself in my thoughts. Well, who are you?”
He looked unimpressive in the white apprentice’s attire.
Noticing Lin ngya’s gaze focused on him, he blushed and lowered his head.
“My na is Xiaofeng, an apprentice in the Court of Imperial Physicians. Last night, Minister Su told to serve you because he was afraid that you might feel inconvenient here.”
He was sent by Su Tong? Lin ngya looked the boy before her from head to toe in a casual way and found him less sophisticated. However, Su Tong must have a reason to send him there.
“I’m thankful for the Minister’s consideration. Xiaofeng, right? The stream looks very clear, so I think there must be a source. But why aren’t there so fancy carps for people to watch?”
Lin ngya unconcernedly pointed at the stream.
Xiaofeng scratched his head and answered, “I don’t know the reason either. So fish had been placed into the stream before, but they all died. Probably we are too careless to take care of them.”
Lin ngya just smiled at Xiaofeng’s response. After looking at the stream several tis, she returned to her room with Baisu.
I’m probably right. That thing must influence its surroundings.
“Baisu, co to get dregs of His Majesty’s decoction. I don’t believe that they will make it difficult for you on that.”
The Emperor’s decoction was the most important thing, and after inspection, it would be dried and sealed.
Lin ngya just needed to check it to see what was going on.
Baisu got on it imdiately. Perhaps because Vice Minister Cui had ended up in a tragic state, nobody in the Court of Imperial Physicians would like to stop Baisu.
According to Baisu, the doctor in charge of giving dicine, started to tremble when seeing her. Therefore, Baisu spent no effort to get the stored dregs.
Lin ngya did not expect to get it so easily.
The doctors had gotten used to secret plots but imdiately submitted to Baisu, who had conquered them with force.
After carefully examining the dregs and an analysis of Shen Nung, Lin ngya did get what she wanted.
She looked out through the window to the yard. There was a kind of special dicine among the Emperor’s decoction. It needed to be fresh and was planted the most in the garden.
It was called Yin Man, difficult to plant. Even though it had been planted successfully, it could be used as dicine after three years. Moreover, this dicine has a very gentle nourishing effect on the human body.
There should be traces in the tonic dicine that the Emperor usually took.
Yin Man itself was non-toxic, and long-term use was not harmful to the human body. However, a herb called Duotian Root was where Yin Man was planted.
What Lin ngya had spotted in the corner was exactly that.
She had also seen it in Baili Rui’s stone room. He had told her that it was not very toxic, but its roots could contaminate the soil.
That was to say, the Duotian Root had already contaminated all herbs in the garden.
It was rare, and there were few in Dajin. Imperial doctors learned from dical books ant for treating people. Thus, it was reasonable that they had no idea about this kind of knowledge, which they called dishonest practices.
Lin ngya was certain that there must be a close relevance between the Emperor’s serious illness and the poison.
The poisoner must be a prudent person to poison in such a delicate way.
Toxins that had been accumulated for years were enough to completely destroy the human body’s functions. Naturally, in ancient tis, where a precise test could not be conducted, the accumulation of toxins would be diagnosed as a kind of disease.
Due to the Duotian Root, those fancy carps had died in the stream. But its toxin was subtle and would be diluted in the stream. Therefore, no one could find the anomaly.
That was also why Lin ngya had asked Xiaofeng that question.
Imperial doctors must know nothing about it. Otherwise, they would not have tried to put fish into the stream.
Consequently, there must be a spy in the Court of Imperial Physicians to have planted the Duotian Root there without arousing anyone’s attention.
It could be anyone. Lin ngya tried to study those busy doctors outside again.
Who is the chief culprit?
If she failed to find out his identity, the spy would ruin her eting with the Emperor.
After pondering on it for a while, Lin ngya realized that she had to investigate after all the doctors returned to the Court of Imperial Physicians.
And as for the Duotian Root, she had to find a way to totally remove it without alerting the spy. It seed that she had to beco a hardworking gardener.
After studying dregs, Lin ngya pretended to carry on. Shen Nung beca more pronounced for its advantages and succeeded in telling her about the proportion of the Emperor’s decoction very soon.
Lin ngya always doubted the moral qualities of those doctors in the Court of Imperial Physicians. But she must admit that there was a huge gap between her and their capability, like Great Rift Valley. She did not understand until now why Baili Rui had refused her proposal to enter the palace.
Without Shen Nung, she would not be able to defeat those senior NPCs.
“Baisu, I’m tired today. Let’s get back.”
Lin ngya was suddenly full of energy. Seeing that, Baisu realized that it was not a good place to discuss sothing private here.
Baisu nodded, and along with Lin ngya, they kept their heads high and got out of the Court of Imperial Physicians.
Those doctors, who had been overwheld by Baisu’s force for a whole day, finally felt relieved. Doctor Cui, who was still unconscious, was a frightening example!
Lin ngya seed to have known her goal and not be in confusion. Perhaps because of that, Lin ngya did not stop until she ate two bowls of rice with so insipid fried dishes for her dinner.
Even Baisu was surprised. She opened her eyes wide, thinking that her master was a refugee from a disaster-stricken area. Pearl and Agate had gotten used to the elegant way of eating and had never seen such an inelegant eating style.
After Lin ngya finished her al, both of them highly doubted Princess Yu, who was an elegant lady in the morning and a different person at night.
Lin ngya’s competitive fire burned intensely. She did not care about what they were thinking of. After wiping her mouth clean, she went out for a walk with Baisu.
