Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1067 A Dreamless Night

Song Yi returned home half an hour after leaving the house. Not only did he bring back Doctor Wu and Meng Jie, but An Zhixian also came with him. He said that he was worried about Chu Chengyao and came to visit him.

Song Yi said that An Zhixian helped persuade Doctor Wu to come to his house for treatment. Zhong Yi instructed the housekeeper to prepare tea and snacks for An Zhixian to wait in the outer room.

In the inner room, after Doctor Wu finished taking Chu Chengyao's pulse, he ordered Zhong Yi, who was staring at him closely, to examine Chu Chengyao's facial features.

Even the tongue was pried open by Zhong Yi, who then pried open his mouth to take a look. His brows furrowed in anger as he finished looking at it:
"It's really strange. Apart from the strong liver fire, there is no disease focus, nor any symptoms of poisoning. The pulse is like that of a deep sleep... but it can't be awakened..."

After hearing that Chu Chengyao had taken medicine, Doctor Wu came to check the prescription.

Zhong Yi was worried and asked Doctor Wu to look at the medicine residue again. He got the answer that there was nothing wrong. Zhong Yi slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could finish his breath, Doctor Wu, who was identifying the medicine residue, suddenly asked in confusion:
"What kind of fragrance is this?"

Doctor Wu was talking, sniffing his own hand, and then wandering around the room sniffing his own hand, and finally stopped in front of Chu Chengyao's bed, picked up Chu Chengyao's hand that he had just examined and sniffed it:
"Huh? Why does it smell like Mo Lingxiang?"

Zhong Yi: "What is Mo Lingxiang?"

"It is a herb used to make incense. Its fragrance is similar to plum blossoms, but stronger and more pleasant than plum blossoms. It is often used to make incense, or boiled into soup for bathing, which can make the whole body fragrant."

Song Yi asked anxiously: "Is this thing poisonous?"

Doctor Wu shook his head:

"This substance is non-toxic when used alone, but if it is used together with Wumeng, a herb for treating insomnia, the Mo Lingxiang will multiply the efficacy of Wumeng and make people sleepy. Your Highness, have you had difficulty falling asleep recently, or have you taken any sleeping pills?"

After hearing Zhong Yi's reply that he had not drunk any, Doctor Wu frowned even more tightly:

"This dreamless plant originates from Pingnan. I'm afraid only half of the doctors in Tianchu know about it, and not many of them use it. If it weren't for insomnia, they would use it even less. Could it be that I made a mistake?" Doctor Wu picked up Chu Chengyao's arm again and smelled it, muttering in increasing confusion:

"It's Mo Lingxiang, for sure."

Zhong Yi's eyes darkened:

"If the drowsiness is really caused by these two medicines, can it be cured?"

Doctor Wu: "Even if you don't treat it, as long as you don't take these two medicines at the same time, you will be in a coma for four or five days at most and you will be fine. When you wake up, you will just have a headache for two days at most. It won't hurt your body."

Coma for four to five days.
Four days later is the wedding day, and the person who did this wants to prevent His Highness from getting married!
Thinking of this, after Doctor Wu finished writing the prescription, Zhong Yi found an excuse to help the imperial physician, sent Zhang Fuyi and Zhang Ying'er away, and asked Song Yi to take Doctor Wu to search their yards.

After searching for a long time, Doctor Wu did find Mo Lingxiang among a pile of prepared medicinal bath bags, but he did not find any trace of Wu Meng.

Doctor Wu praised with great interest:
"The medicinal bath bag is made of very fine materials. It not only strengthens the body, but also masks the smell of the medicine, leaving only the scent of Mo Lingxiang. The technique is not inferior to the rumored Pingnan Zhang family, but was it prepared by the Zhang family doctor?"

Zhong Yi's pupils flickered:

"Dr. Zhang can only take care of the body and treat some common ailments, but he is not so good at it. It was a year ago when he met a merchant who made incense. Dr. Zhang bought it at a high price in order to ask for a reward from the prince."

After the medicine was prepared and given to Chu Chengyao to take, Doctor Wu said with certainty that he would wake up after a few hours of sleep and would not have a headache when he woke up.

Zhong Yi thanked them politely, paid the heavy medical fee, and sent Doctor Wu, An Zhixian and the other two away.
