Chapter 186 Is this... arsenic?
The atmosphere was quiet and everyone stared at Yan Chen.
After Yan Chen carefully took the pulse, his brows suddenly furrowed together.
Seeing this, the empress asked nervously, "How?"
Yan Chen did not answer. He turned to look at Ji Xuan on the bed, frowned and thought for a while.
I asked, "How did she get poisoned?"
Everyone was stunned and asked this question.
About healing?
The empress didn't look very well. She couldn't help feeling a little restless as she hadn't been able to cure several cases in a row.
"What does this treatment have to do with knowing how to be poisoned? If you can't explain it, I will punish you."
Although Yan Chen was unhappy that the empress lost her temper at him, he was also worried about her.
Since she cared so much about her daughter, he didn't care.
"I want to know how she was poisoned."
"This……"
"The princess was poisoned in an assassination attempt. This was the murder weapon."
The palace servant presented the murder weapon on a tray.
Yan Chen raised his hand to take the murder weapon.
The imperial physician at the side exclaimed: "Be careful, it's poisonous."
Yan Chen glanced at the blackened part at the end of the hairpin and said with a smile, "The poisonous part is at the end. It won't be a problem as long as it doesn't cut the skin."
Yan Chen took the golden hairpin and put it under his nose. He sniffed it and a pungent smell came from it.
"Is this... arsenic?"
"Young Master has a keen sense of smell."
The imperial physician was somewhat surprised that Yan Chen could recognize poison by his sense of smell.
I didn't expect that the young master in front of me was quite capable, worthy of being from the Valley of Divine Doctors.
The imperial physician nodded and said, "Yes, this hairpin was soaked in poisonous water containing arsenic, which caused the princess to be scratched and poisoned."
Yan Chen frowned upon hearing this, his expression becoming even more serious. He looked up at the strange lines on Ji Xuan's face, then at the golden hairpin in his hand. Suddenly he said, "No!"
"There are two kinds of poison in the princess' body, and I only smell one kind on this hairpin."
"what?!"
"You said there is only one kind of poison on this golden hairpin?"
Several imperial doctors widened their eyes in shock.
Yan Chen looked at their shocked expressions and was slightly stunned: "You... don't know?"
From what they said, they thought there was more than one kind of poison on this hairpin?
But he only smelled one?
Ji Yao, who was watching from the side, looked gloomy and glared at the doctors, angrily asking, "What's going on? You don't even know how many types of poison are on the murder weapon?"
The imperial physician saw that His Majesty was angry and bowed his head in fear: "Your Majesty, please calm down. We also thought that the other poison was colorless and tasteless, and it was mixed with the arsenic and applied to the gold hairpin, so we didn't find it in time."
The empress had a gloomy expression on her face, she looked down at the imperial physician and scolded him angrily.
"You are a bunch of useless people! You didn't even notice this, and you still think you are great doctors. I think you should all go back to your hometown and farm."
The imperial doctors were so ashamed that they lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Ji Yao turned to look at Yan Chen and asked.
"According to Master Yanchen's opinion, is there a cure for the poison that the princess has been poisoned with?"
Yan Chen frowned slightly: "The princess has been poisoned by two kinds of poisons, and the other poison is more toxic than this arsenic. If it was just one kind, the princess would have died long ago."
"However, because of the addition of arsenic poison, the two poisons suppressed each other, so she was able to temporarily save her life. However, the poison is very toxic, and arsenic can only suppress it temporarily. If an antidote cannot be found within three days, the princess will be powerless to save her."
After hearing Yan Chen's words, a nearby imperial physician was stunned and pondered.
"From what the young master said, you know what kind of poison the princess was poisoned with?"
