I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 275 Unjust Accusation

As soon as Ling Chu finished speaking, everyone looked at her.

Physician Chen paused, looked in the direction of Ling Chu's finger, and frowned.

 He remembered identifying it just now. It was a small piece of fish skin.

 He raised his head and glanced at Ling Chu, and saw that her face was serious, and she didn't look like she was joking.

Physician Chen suddenly became confused.

 Perhaps he saw it wrong?

Picked up the chopsticks placed aside again, picked up the piece of fish skin, and looked at it over and over again.

After carefully confirming it again and again, Doctor Chen said, "Miss Ling, this is just a piece of fish skin."

As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Princess Pingyang originally thought Ling Chu had found something poisonous, but she didn't expect it was just a piece of fish skin.

 couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Miss Ling, you don't know much about medicine, but you want to do your best in front of the imperial doctor. It's simply ridiculous.

Since you don’t understand, don’t pretend to understand. Just go and wait quietly for the doctor to find out the poison. "

Ling Chu glanced at Princess Pingyang coldly, turned around and said, "Mr. Chen, this is indeed fish skin. But this piece is not mandarin fish skin, but puffer fish skin."

Physician Chen’s expression changed.

Pufferfish is delicious, but its liver, blood, eyes, gills, skin and other parts are poisonous.

Although Dr. Chen knew that many parts of puffer fish were poisonous, he never liked eating fish and had no habit of cooking. Therefore, I don’t know much about ordinary fish, and even less about pufferfish.

 He could tell that the small piece was fish skin, but he was not sure whether it was puffer fish skin.

Sun Yuan stepped forward quickly, took the piece of fish skin and carefully identified it for a while before saying, "This is indeed the skin of a puffer fish."

It’s no wonder that Doctor Chen couldn’t recognize it. Although pufferfish tastes delicious, it’s poisonous in many parts of its body, so ordinary people can’t handle it at all.

 Generally, very few people eat puffer fish.

Even if an experienced person kills the puffer fish, if he accidentally doesn’t handle it properly, he will be poisoned if he eats it.

 It was precisely because he loved eating fish, and because he was an imperial physician and had studied the pufferfish specifically, that he could barely identify that small piece of pufferfish skin.

In order to prevent himself from making a mistake, Dr. Chen specially asked two royal chefs to come over and let them identify it.

The two royal chefs who were named came over with white faces and identified the piece of fish skin repeatedly, confirming that it was the skin of puffer fish.

In addition to the bowl of Mrs. Song's fish soup that Ling Chu had not used, Doctor Chen also found puffer fish skin in the leftover fish soup that Princess Dingyuan and the three of them had eaten.

Originally, there was no fish skin in Song's Fish Soup, but the poisoner chose the belly of the puffer fish, which happens to be white, so if you are not careful, it will be mistaken for mandarin fish meat.

The Queen frowned, "I remember that there is no puffer fish in today's menu. Where did this puffer fish come from?"

This fish is difficult to handle, and it is impossible for the Queen to use it to entertain courtiers and ladies.

 In fact, not only was there no pufferfish in today's menu, but no one in the entire palace ate this fish.

 After all, no one wants to bury his or her life because of greed.

Ning Chuyi looked at the group of royal chefs with cold eyes, "Who made this fish soup today?"

 The **** in charge of the imperial kitchen said solemnly, "It's Liao Yuchu."

Liao Yuchu rushed over with staggering steps, staring at the piece of fish skin with disbelief on his face.

How come there is puffer fish in Mrs. Song’s fish soup? !

Seeing the emperor looking over with majestic eyes, Chef Liao immediately felt weak in his legs and knocked his head heavily, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. In this Mrs. Song's fish soup, I used mandarin fish instead of puffer fish at all."

The emperor had a sullen face and ignored the chef. Now that we know what caused the poisoning, the top priority is to help Princess Dingyuan and the others detoxify.

Physician Chen's expression did not improve. "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. I cannot cure this poison."

Although he had spent a lot of time researching this pufferfish in order to be able to eat it with confidence, unfortunately, he had not been able to find a way to detoxify it after years of research.

As soon as Chen Taiyi finished speaking, many people's expressions changed.

The emperor frowned and said to the imperial doctors, "Dear sirs, isn't there any way?"

The ones who were poisoned were the three princesses. If they were poisoned to death at the palace banquet, the consequences would be...

The emperor's face was grave. No matter what he considered, he didn't want to see anything happen to them.

The imperial doctors present all looked bad. They gathered together to discuss for a long time, but still couldn't find any good solution.

But an imperial doctor frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I remember that there is a folk saying that reed root soup can be used to relieve puffer fish poison."

Sun Yuanzheng shook his head, "I have studied it and found that reed root soup is not very effective and cannot completely eliminate the poison of puffer fish."

Sun Yuanzheng glanced at Princess Jing and the others, and thought to himself that even if the reed root soup could detoxify, it would still be too late.

Since Lingchu pointed out that the piece of puffer fish skin was there, he had been standing quietly aside without saying anything.

 Secretly, he opened the system and searched for the antidote.

 After rummaging for a while, I finally found the antidote, but it required two medium-grade energy stones to redeem it.

Lingchu was not sure whether Princess Dingyuan was her biological mother, but no matter whether she was, she couldn't do nothing to save her.

Although she had a grudge against Han Yao, she had a good impression of Princess Dingyuan, and Princess Jing was not disliked either. Since she had a way to help them detoxify, she couldn't just watch them die of poison.

Ling Chu had just two pieces of jade left in his hand, which were gifts given to her by Ning Chuyi when her shop opened.

Seeing that Princess Dingyuan and the others were getting worse and worse, Ling Chu couldn't care less about the two pieces of emeralds he felt sorry for, and quickly exchanged them for the antidote.

Sun Yuanzheng and other imperial doctors had several broken beards, and they did not think of a way to detoxify them.

Princess Guangping suddenly collapsed, her face full of despair. She was still so young and she didn’t want to die.

Even though Princess Jing and Princess Dingyuan didn’t want to die, the imperial doctors couldn’t cure the poison, so there was nothing they could do.

 The two of them have begun to blur their consciousness, and they still have many regrets in their hearts.

The only comfort is that the three of them died together, and they finally have company on the road to hell, so they won't be too lonely.

 Prince Dingyuan and his son held the hands of Princess Dingyuan tightly, their faces full of sadness.

  King Jing and King Guangping also looked angry and sad.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the distance, "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a young man in brocade robes rushed toward Princess Dingyuan like a whirlwind.

 A panting girl was followed behind.

Hearing the shouting, Princess Dingyuan, who was originally unconscious, struggled to open her eyes and said weakly, "Song'er..."

Han Song, the second son of the Prince of Dingyuan, rushed over and grabbed her arm with a look of eagerness on his face, "Concubine, I heard that you were poisoned. How are you now? The imperial doctor can detoxify you..."

Han Yao, who was following closely behind, originally wanted to run towards Princess Dingyuan, but when she saw Ling Chu next to her, she stopped in her tracks and subconsciously looked towards King Dingyuan and the others.
