Chapter 338: Chapter 338: It’s You Who Did It! Chapter 338: Chapter 338: It’s You Who Did It! He had the immediate instinct to refuse, but considering the need to treat his aunt, and that this depended on this little girl standing before him, perhaps this blood-drawing is extremely important?
“Um…I can’t make a decision on this at the moment, could you wait until noon? I’ll need to report back to my father, the King, before I can decide.”
Lin Caisang nodded, agreeing.
After all, it was a matter of drawing blood from a royal. It was said that the royals were gossipy, and she could wait.
“Nanny Bai, please get me some ink and brushes. I’ll write a prescription for the Elder Princess first. When the Eldest Prince visits the palace, he can have the Imperial doctor review it and then immediately pick up and start preparing the medicine.”
“Yes, I will do so immediately.”
Nanny Bai immediately instructed the maids to fetch the ink, brushes, paper, and inkstone.
This was a study, so all the necessary items were readily available. Lin Caisang wrote two copies of the prescription, one for the Eldest Prince, the other handed to Nanny Bai.
“Nanny Bai, does the Princess’ Mansion have a dispensary?” she asked.
“Then, Nanny Bai, you may first order some people to prepare the medicine stated in the prescription and to start brewing it. Then when the Eldest Prince returns from the palace, the Elder Princess can immediately start her treatment. This way, we won’t waste time waiting, and the Elder Princess can recover sooner,” Lin Caisang instructed.
“Yes, Miss Doctor, you have really thought it through,” Nanny Bai responded continuously.
“Also, Nanny Bai, the prescription I wrote is for two bowls, two big bowls, not the small bowls that we usually use for serving medicine. Since the Elder Princess has been unconscious for so long, her stomach may not be able to tolerate something too stimulating, and she needs to drink a light, refreshing medicinal soup,” Lin Caisang further instructed.
“You can also add half a chicken or a quail to the medicinal broth that I’ve prescribed. After removing the oil floating on top, give it to the Elder Princess as if it were tea, drinking it a little at a time, multiple times and keeping it warm on the stove. Do you understand?”
“Understood, understood,” responded Nanny Bai.
The slurping noise didn’t stop until a bowl of millet porridge was all consumed. Only then did Lin Caisang put down her bowl and look at Ya Molian across her, who was smiling at her.
“Brother Molian, this porridge is really good, why aren’t you eating?”
“Would you like another bowl? I made quite a bit,” Ya Molian softly asked her.
Hearing that, Lin Caisang shook her head, “No more for me, you go ahead.”
Perhaps it was because of the blood loss yesterday, despite having a good amount of food for breakfast and a little more this morning, she was already hungry again by noon. And regardless of the porridge being slightly hot, she drank it straight away.
“Let me tell you about the poison that the Elder Princess is suffering from while you’re eating,” Ya Molian proposed.
“Isn’t it ‘Huiju’?” Ya Molian asked.
“It is ‘Huiju’, but there are also other poisons, ‘Luowei’ and ‘Juebi’. I suspect that ‘Juebi’ was administered to the Elder Princess first, followed by ‘Huiju’ and finally…” Lin Caisang nodded and shared everything she knew with Ya Molian.
But before she could finish, she heard Ya Molian speak up, “‘Luowei’ was probably administered by someone in my palace.”
She blinked twice, then blinked again, unbelievingly looking at Ya Molian.
“Did I hear that right, you administered the ‘Luowei’!”
Although Ya Molian himself didn’t do it, it might as well have been done by him. After all, weren’t the people who did it his subordinates?
“Then did you know that the Elder Princess was poisoned with ‘Huiju’, and that’s why you used ‘Luowei’ on her? To alleviate the symptoms of the poison?” This guess seemed almost certain.
