Chapter 330 Strange Poisons

Qiu Yu’s calmness and orderliness reminded Lin Mengya of someone.

There were so many undiscovered talents in the imperial palace! A seemingly useless chief of the Servants Administration had been a powerful general years ago. Then what was this eclectic imperial physician’s real identity?

After solving all the problems, Qiu Yu looked back and saw Lin Mengya watching him curiously.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything wrong with me?”

Qiu Yu looked at himself. To his relief, he didn’t see what was wrong with him.

Lin Mengya only shook her head with a smile. They both were smart and they knew that it would be in vain to ask a person who didn’t want to answer.

If they wanted to know the answer, they had to wait until that person was willing to speak.

“I’m just wondering why the servants here are so obedient to you. Doctor Qiu, it seems you’re more talented than an imperial physician.”

Qiu Yu could tell that Lin Mengya was just joking.

A faint smile appeared on his charming face. However, Lin Mengya saw a helpless look in his eyes.

“His Majesty asked them to follow my words before he went into a coma. All the servants here are very loyal to His Majesty. And because of this, they have been locked up here for a year.”

“The emperor’s order?” Lin Mengya looked around and found that, sure enough, everyone seemed alert.

This was a natural reaction that could only occur when there was a constant presence of powerful enemies.

“I see! So the emperor’s condition must be even more critical than I imagined,” she thought.

“Is His Majesty—I mean his physical condition, really the same as the medical records say? Is he in a coma only because he is too weak?”

Lin Mengya finally came to the point.

Looking at her serious face, Qiu Yu’s smile faded away.

Hesitating for a while, he let out a sigh and said,

“You should go and see for yourself. His Majesty’s condition—is much more complicated than you imagined.”

“What the hell is going on?”

Lin Mengya walked into the depths of the inner palace with Qiu Yu, full of doubts.

As soon as they pushed open the carved mahogany door, a strong medicine aroma rushed into her nostrils.

Although Lin Mengya and Baisu had been exposed to various medicinal materials every day, they felt a little dizzy by the smell.

However, the servants didn’t seem to find anything unusual about it. They were still bustling around calmly.

“They are used to it. His Majesty has to take a lot of medicine every day to prevent his illness from getting worse. His condition is so complicated. You’d better go in and check for yourself.”

A few words couldn’t describe the emperor’s present condition.

Lin Mengya and Baisu exchanged glances and walked into the emperor’s bedroom following Qiu Yu.

Behind the bright-yellow curtain, a middle-aged man with a sallow face was lying silently on the bed with his eyes closed.

Lin Mengya took a few quick steps forward before finally seeing her father-in-law’s face.

It was no wonder that in spite of their respective characteristics, the princes and princesses were all good-looking.

Genes are so powerful!

Lying on the bed, the emperor still looked unparalleled noble.

His features were strongly defined, as if they were carved. His sons had inherited his looks, but they were too young and didn’t have his composed and domineering temperament formed by years of precipitation.

But now, he was extremely thin because of the illness.

“If His Majesty was 20 years younger, maybe all the young women in the Capital City would be crazy for him,” Lin Mengya thought.

However, her brows knitted tightly when she found that the emperor’s condition was unprecedentedly special.

“You can leave now. I’ll be here.”

Qiu Yu asked those servants to leave. He looked at Lin Mengya, his eyes shining with expectation.

He had asked everyone in the Court of Imperial Physicians, but no one was fully aware of the emperor’s illness.

Even the four major imperial physicians and Su Tong, who were so experienced and crafty, couldn’t determine the emperor’s condition exactly.

However, Qiu Yu had great expectations of Lin Mengya for no reason.

Time passed quickly.

After the servants left, Lin Mengya began to check the emperor’s condition.

His pulse was so strange!

The longer Lin Mengya felt the emperor’s pulse, the more serious she looked.

“How could this be?”

After an hour, Lin Mengya spoke again.

At this moment, Qiu Yu and Baisu were more puzzled than ever.

“What do you mean? Have you figured out why His Majesty is unconscious?” Qiu Yu immediately asked, suppressing his eagerness.

Lin Mengya looked at him and said, “I have never seen a patient’s situation as complicated as His Majesty’s. There are various poisons in His Majesty’s body, but what even stranger is that although the toxicity of these poisons waxes and wanes, they can keep the balance. The toxicity of all the medicines that His Majesty took was activated and amplified. What the hell is going on?”

Lin Mengya frowned, but she was certain that the Shen Nung System would definitely not go wrong.

“Can you tell what poison is in His Majesty?”

Somehow, Qiu Yu was a little excited when he asked Lin Mengya. He looked at her, seemingly anxious.

“I, I can’t. There are too many poisons in his body, more than a hundred kinds in total,” Lin Mengya said in frustration, while she didn’t see the surprised look crossing through Qiu Yu’s eyes.

At his best, Qiu Yu could only identify dozens of the poisons. However, to his surprise, Lin Mengya had just told him a number that made his scalp go numb.

“More than a hundred! It is unbelievable!”

If that was the case, everything the emperor was taking and using should be poison!

“The situation is a little bit complicated. Although these poisons are harmful to His Majesty’s health, they also provide the nutrients that His Majesty needs. Therefore, His Majesty lives off of the nourishment of these poisons. It’s impossible to find an antidote to remove the poisons from him.”

Lin Mengya was shocked as well. She didn’t expect that the emperor’s condition would be so complicated.

“Sure enough, only you discovered it. You’re right. His Majesty has become what he is because he was poisoned. Over the past year, I’ve tried every means to detoxify him, but nothing has worked.”

Qiu Yu frowned resentfully.

He must have been very confident with his own medical skills and never thought that he would come up against such powerful poisons. This challenge must have destroyed all his confidence and pride.

The more outstanding a person is, the harder it is to accept failure.

Qiu Yu could stick to what he was doing even in the face of such difficulties, so he would definitely be successful in the future.

Lin Mengya was full of thoughts. The emperor’s condition was too complicated, and for the first time, even the Shen Nung System could not provide a solution due to a lack of information.

However, although it couldn’t provide a precise solution, the Shen Nung System gave her several general plans.

After comparison, Lin Mengya decided to choose the least harmful method to cure the emperor step by step.

“I think it must be because the dose was so small in the beginning that His Majesty didn’t sense it. Besides, His Majesty’s physical condition was much better than that of young people, so he showed no symptoms of being poisoned. To avoid the discovery of the poison, those people managed to have him take another poison containing traces of the toxin. However, even they themselves didn’t expect that the mixture of the two poisons would have produced a new effect. After checking the medical records, I think because His Majesty’s condition was too complicated, none of the imperial physicians was sure that his illness was caused by poisoning. However, since they suspected it was possible, they all added some antidotes more or less to their prescriptions.”

Now some of the doubts in Lin Mengya’s mind had gone.

She knew why those imperial physicians had never revealed that the emperor was in a coma because of poisoning.

On the one hand, without using special methods, it was impossible to detect the emperor’s poisoning.

On the other hand, they had a tacit understanding and they all tried to cure the emperor’s disease with some detoxification medicines.

However, the poison had seeped into the emperor’s bones, and the wrong medicine could only aggravate the disease.

In short, for all these reasons, the emperor’s condition was extremely strange.

“Yes, I think in the same way. Unfortunately, I have limited medical skills and I don’t dare to act rashly now. Princess Yu, I wonder if you have any solution to remove the poisons from His Majesty.”

Qiu Yu shook his head with a bitter smile. However, somehow, he was fully confident in Lin Mengya and had high expectations for her.

If that legend was true, Lin Mengya should be the only person in the world who could save the emperor’s life!

“I—there are ways, but I’m afraid they are very troublesome. I’m sure that after diagnosing His Majesty and leaving here, I’ll face a storm. If you trust me, let’s try to do it together.”

Lin Mengya knew that it was too late to keep herself out of the affair.

She looked serious but confident.

Seeing the determination in her gleaming eyes, Qiu Yu felt very assured.

“Hahaha, people who live a vigorous will not regret! I was born restless. No matter what difficulties we face, I’ll follow you!”

His words relieved Lin Mengya.

Looking at Qiu Yu, Lin Mengya smiled sincerely for the first time.

It seemed that she would have one more friend who had a lot of secrets but could share life and death with her.
