Chapter 198
Zuixianju, Meixiang Pavilion.

Beside the wine table, Prince Gong Murong An was holding a wine glass in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, and looking up at the door from time to time, with unconcealable anxiety in his eyes...

After a long time, Jiang Mu's voice came from outside the door: "My lord, Dr. Liu has arrived."

Prince Gong quickly stood up and said, "Come in."

After a while, I saw Jiang Mu walking in with an old woman about 60 years old.

When Murong An saw it, he hurried forward to greet him, and said, "Doctor Liu, you have worked hard."

Dr. Liu hurriedly bowed and said: "The old lady has seen the prince."

Murong An smiled, gave him a little support, and said, "Doctor Liu, you don't need to be polite. Come, please sit down."

"Thank you, my lord." Doctor Liu nodded his thanks before sitting down.

Jiang Mu brought the teacup and said, "Doctor Liu, you have worked hard on this journey. Come, have a cup of tea first."

Doctor Liu smiled, took the teacup, and said: "Okay, thank you very much."

After a while, Murong An said again: "Doctor Liu, thanks to your skillful hands, the danger was saved. Thank you again, my lord."

Dr. Liu smiled, and replied: "My lord, you are being polite. Healing diseases and saving lives is what old women should do. And all these years, thanks to my lord, who has been secretly supporting my medical office, I can have no worries."

Murong An smiled and said: "Doctor Liu is a benevolent doctor, and this king is only offering some money."

Then he asked: "Doctor Liu, last time I sent a letter asking you to investigate the matter of the medicine again, but the result has already been obtained?"

Dr. Liu took out a letter from his body, nodded and replied, "That's right. My lord, take a look at this."

Murong An took the letter, opened it, and asked, "Gourd vine? Doctor Liu, do you mean that the Empress Dowager was poisoned by this poison?"

Dr. Liu nodded, shook his head again, and said, "My lord, yes, but not entirely."

Murong An was puzzled for a moment, and said again: "Doctor Liu, please explain in detail."

Doctor Liu nodded, and said again: "My lord, the whole plant of the gourd vine is poisonous. It is a very poisonous thing. It is a powerful nerve inhibitor. A small amount can kill people."

"But back then, the poison that the Empress Dowager suffered from was not like this."

"When the old lady checked her pulse back then, she found this trace of abnormality. In the end, she used this method to detoxify the Queen Mother, and finally the poison was finally cured."

"At that time, in order to detoxify the queen mother, the old woman also took some blood from the queen mother. But the prince didn't let me check it back then, so I couldn't do it anymore."

"But in fact, the old lady has been studying in secret with the blood given by the Queen Mother."

"Finally, it was discovered that there was indeed a trace of the drug in the blood, but the amount of the drug was so small that it was difficult to detect."

"If it weren't for the blood volume given by the queen mother back then, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to find out."

"A while ago, the prince specially sent someone to Dayue to find the stupid medicine used by the Miao people in Dayue decades ago."

"In those days, after researching, I discovered that 90.00% of the ingredients contained in the poison that the Empress Dowager was poisoned with were the same. But the efficacy of the medicine has filtered out more than [-]%."

Murong An was puzzled for a moment: "Filter out?"

Doctor Liu replied: "That's right. My lord, because they want to be unobtrusive but also want to harm the fetus, they can only reduce the efficacy of this medicine."

"And after this kind of filtering, the drug is already ineffective for adults, but it may not be effective for fetuses."

Murong An's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he said, "Not necessarily! So, they joined this gourd vine, right?"

Dr. Liu nodded and replied: "That's right, it's probably because, this is not necessarily the case, the person who developed it added a trace of this gourd vine to it."

"And this gourd vine was also filtered by this person. Even a trace of gourd vine has been filtered, so it is no longer effective for adults."

"The addition of these two medicines, because of the extremely small doses, makes it difficult to detect the pulse."

"And these two drugs, which are already ineffective for adults, can pass through the placenta, affect the fetus, inhibit the development of the fetal brain and nerves, and eventually the child will eventually become a fool."

"And this kind of ignorance is often seen only after the child is born and grows up. This method is very vicious, and it is also invisible!"

Listening to these words, Murong An on the side clenched his hands tightly, with a strong murderous look in his eyes... Heh, the person I have loved for a lifetime, you, Emperor Zongyuan, took it away, but It is to make her suffer all kinds of calculations in the harem!
At this moment, seeing the murderous look in Murong An's eyes, Doctor Liu stopped, not daring to continue speaking.

After a long time, Jiang Mu on the side shouted: "My lord, let's continue to listen to Dr. Liu."

Murong An just came back to his senses after hearing the sound, and said: "This king is rude. Doctor Liu, please continue."

"Okay." Doctor Liu nodded and said, "The Empress Dowager told me back then that she didn't want her detoxification to be known by bad people, which would bring greater danger to the child in her womb."

"That's why I secretly gave the Empress Dowager an injection to delay her delivery a little bit."

"The latter two children have never been able to speak, and those imperial physicians have said that advanced age and dystocia cause the fetus to hold its breath."

Murong An nodded and replied: "That's right. I also heard from the Queen Mother later on. Thanks to Dr. Liu's skillful hand, I was able to help cover up the matter of detoxification."

Doctor Liu continued: "My lord, this gourd vine is produced in the Fallen Leaves Valley in Dayue."

Murong An's eyes froze for a moment, and he asked, "The Fallen Leaves Valley where the Dayue government used to besiege the Miao people?"

Doctor Liu nodded and replied: "That's right, my lord. The gourd vines are only produced in this place."

"A while ago, the old lady made a special trip to Dayue to develop the gourd vine."

"It turned out that only freshly picked gourd vines can be filtered to reduce the medicinal properties."

Murong An understood instantly when he heard the words, and said: "Doctor Liu means that the poison that the Empress Dowager suffered from back then can only be refined in the Fallen Leaves Valley!"

Dr. Liu nodded and replied, "My lord is right!"

"Leaving Fallen Leaves Valley, the gourd vine will not be fresh, and it will not be able to reduce the medicinal properties. It will kill you once you use it."

Murong An asked again: "Doctor Liu, how is this poison used?"

Dr. Liu bowed and replied: "My lord. After these two medicines are made into poisonous powder, they can be ingested through food or drink, and can also be put into incense to enter the body with the smell. The size of soybeans can achieve the effect."

"Furthermore, this poisonous powder itself has a very low odor, and it is not easy to be found when it is used."

diet?Incense?Murong An's eyes darkened instantly...

After a long time, Murong An said again: "Doctor Liu, you have worked hard today. I will ask Jiang Mu to take you to rest first."

"After you have rested, I will trouble you to transcribe the information of this poisonous powder for me, okay?"

Dr. Liu stood up and bowed back, "Okay, please rest assured, my lord. I will definitely write it down for you in detail. The old lady will leave first."

"I'm sorry." Murong An nodded and replied.

Jiang Mu on the side stepped forward and said, "Doctor Liu, please."

At this time, in Meixiang Pavilion, Murong was sitting quietly, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his hands were clenched... When Yue'er was pregnant, she was very cautious in every step of the way. Where did you get it?
