Chapter 408 Gu Insect
Shen Yiyi stared straight at Master Zhang in front of her.
"..."
This guy smells strongly of medicinal elixir, it seems he can also make elixirs.
This is the only person who can make pills that I have seen since I came here, besides myself.
Judging from his age, he should be in his thirties or forties. After carefully checking him, he didn't smell any familiar scent, and he didn't seem to be someone he knew.
He glanced at the emperor again and was stunned.
Hmm? Why does the emperor look a little strange?
Master Zhang did not notice Shen Yiyi's expression. All his attention was on Shang Zhanchen. He was also greatly shocked.
"..."
The prince's forehead was clear and there was no sign of poisoning. How was this possible? He had given the prince several kinds of poison.
Even he himself doesn't have the antidote, so how could anyone else possibly be able to do it? But looking at the prince's complexion, it does not seem like he's been poisoned.
This made him very suspicious. Could it be that there was an expert around the prince who had already cured the poison in his body?
Seeing that the national teacher was staring at him, Shang Zhanchen looked calm.
"I wonder what the Imperial Master has seen?"
Staring at him with such eyes, could it be that there is something wrong with him too?
"Your Highness, I didn't see anything."
Master Zhang came back to his senses and bowed to Shang Zhanchen again.
"That's good!" Shang Zhanchen nodded.
When he turned around inadvertently, he saw Yiyi staring at his father. He was stunned at first, and then he reached his hand behind her and squeezed it gently.
It was really not good to stare at her father like this, so Shen Yiyi withdrew her gaze.
"In that case, let's go back." The emperor looked at Shang Zhanchen and Shen Yiyi.
Since there is nothing to do, there is no need to stay here. After all, the National Master is a foreign man, and it is late at night, so it is not convenient to stay here for a long time.
"Father, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing that the prince had something to say to the emperor, Master Zhang bowed respectfully.
"Then Wei Chen will leave first."
"Okay, let's send the imperial teacher back!" The emperor nodded and looked at Eunuch An beside him.
After they left, the emperor looked at Shang Zhanchen.
"Chen'er, what's the matter?"
Shang Zhanchen did not respond to the emperor, but turned to look at Shen Yiyi.
"Yiyi, what did you see just now?"
Just now, I saw Yi Yi staring at my father, and I felt that she must have seen something. Based on past experience, it might be that my father has health problems again.
“……” Shen Yiyi didn’t say anything.
After glancing at Shang Zhanchen, his gaze fell on the emperor's face again, fearing that he had seen it wrong.
He moved closer and stared at it for a long time. Seeing that the emperor was stunned, he was about to ask what he saw.
Shen Yiyi looked at the queen again and stared at her straight, which made the queen stunned.
"Yiyi, is there something wrong?"
She leaned back again, and the child's face was almost touching hers, but Shen Yiyi acted as if she didn't hear her.
He pulled the Queen's hand and felt her pulse, then he pulled the Emperor's hand and felt that as well.
Having never seen Yiyi so careful before, Shang Zhanchen standing beside her also became nervous.
"What do you see?"
Although he asked this, he was already certain in his heart that seeing Yi Yi's serious look, he must have seen something.
Even the emperor and the empress looked nervous, after all, they knew that this daughter-in-law's medical skills were very impressive.
His expression is so solemn at the moment, I think he must have seen something.
Seeing that they were all looking at her, Shen Yiyi withdrew her hand.
"My father and mother have been bewitched."
"What?" The emperor looked shocked.
He looked at his daughter-in-law in disbelief, obviously shocked by her words. Although he didn't know what Gu was, he could feel that it was not a good thing.
"Yiyi, did you see it wrong?" The queen also looked nervous.
He thought the same as the emperor and felt that the poison in Shen Yiyi's mouth was not a good thing.
But ever since the last poisoning, both she and the emperor's meals had been strictly inspected before being eaten. How could they have been poisoned again?
"Did you see it clearly?" Shang Zhanchen clenched his fists nervously.
Although I don't know what Gu is, I know from the name that it is not a good thing. I don't know who wants to harm my father and mother.
"I'm just afraid that I can't see clearly, so I look so carefully." Shen Yiyi looked at Shang Zhanchen.
"The poisonous insects in Father and Mother's bodies are still young, and they must have just been eaten not long ago, so they are not visible on their faces or pulses."
"Just eaten it not long ago!?" The queen frowned even more tightly.
I started to think about what I had eaten during this period and how the poisonous insect got into my stomach.
Even the emperor was frowning and thinking about this problem.
"..."
His diet was clearly monitored so strictly, how did the poisonous insect get into his stomach?
As I was thinking about it, I heard Shen Yiyi's words.
"The imperial teacher just now had a strong smell of medicinal herbs on him. I think he should be able to make pills."
"Are you sure?" Shang Zhanchen looked at him and gestured.
The Imperial Preceptor was good at observing strange arts, but he had never heard of anyone being able to make elixirs.
"Well, I'm sure he can make pills, but he probably isn't that good."
Shen Yiyi nodded. If someone was a master of alchemy, he would hide his aura. The smell of elixir on that person was extremely obvious.
It is obvious that his level of Taoism is not very high. If I am not mistaken, his level should be about the same as Lao Sun.
After hearing her say this, the queen immediately remembered.
"Your father and I just drank the water prepared by the Imperial Master, right..."
The queen looked at Shen Yiyi and Shang Zhanchen. Although she didn't say anything next, Shang Zhanchen and Shen Yiyi understood.
"That must be it." Shen Yiyi nodded heavily.
The poisonous insects in the emperor and the queen's bodies are still infancy. If it weren't for an expert like her, they wouldn't be able to detect them at all, so they must have just drank the medicine not long ago.
“……”The emperor was silent.
My mind is a little confused. According to what the Crown Princess said, the Imperial Master must have ulterior motives.
Even the queen found it unbelievable. After all, the imperial teacher had made many contributions to the Daqian Kingdom over the years.
Now he is attacking me and the emperor. This is too unbelievable.
"If this is true, then the poison that Father and Mother were previously poisoned with was most likely administered by the Imperial Master." Shang Zhanchen's face turned cold.
"It's possible. Today is the night of the full moon. If the poison in my mother's body has not been cured, it should be the time for her to transform into a mad beast."
"Beast transformation?" The emperor looked at Shen Yiyi in confusion, obviously not understanding what she said.
"Once you are poisoned by the strange beast, every full moon night your body will be covered with hair, you will look like a wild beast, and you will become manic."
Shang Zhanchen took over the conversation, thinking back to the torment he had gone through on those countless full-moon nights when he was poisoned. He would never forget it for the rest of his life.
“……”The emperor and the queen’s eyes were red.
Looking at Shang Zhanchen with heartache, I couldn't imagine how Chen had survived all these years.
Seeing his father and mother so emotional, Shang Zhanchen hurriedly comforted them.
"Father, Mother, that was all in the past." He turned and looked at Shen Yiyi.
"Yiyi, what will this poison do to my father and mother? Is there any way to cure it?"
