A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

"This bottle contains the antidote pills that Zhou Ruo specially made for the Imperial Concubine."

The Seventh Princess accepted the porcelain bottle with both hands, her heart filled with emotion. "Zhou Ruo can even make pills?"

"Of course she didn't make it herself; it was the clinic's staff who did it according to her instructions."

The seventh princess was very excited, but she quickly hesitated, "But will Mother eat it?"

"Doesn't Your Highness know that your scar has been healed?" An Chang asked her.

"I...I know. I told my mother that I met a divine physician when I left the palace, and it was the divine physician who cured me."

An Chang nodded, "That's settled then. Just say the medicine was given to her by the miracle doctor."

Seeing that the Seventh Princess was still hesitating, An Chang urged her to go see Consort Zheng, saying, "I'll go with you to see the Consort."

An Chang set off with the Seventh Princess. An Chang was puzzled to see that the Seventh Princess was still wearing a veil.

"Ziying, why are you still wearing a veil on your face?"

"Yes, my mother told me not to make a fuss about it yet, saying it was to protect myself."

An Chang sensed a strange sense of oppression from the Seventh Princess's words.

Yes, how could Consort Zheng have been poisoned by heat and cold? And who poisoned her?

An Chang suddenly felt a chill down his back.

The two arrived at Consort Zheng's bedchamber, and An Chang paid his respects to Consort Zheng.

He noticed that Consort Zheng was in worse condition than the last time he saw her.

Consort Zheng sat back on the bed, happy to see Consort An.

"An Chang, did you come to the palace today to play with everyone?"

An Chang: "Your Highness, I've come especially to visit you today. It's been so long since we last met; I've missed you terribly!"

Consort Zheng's mood improved considerably upon hearing An Chang's words. "You're such a sweet talker."

"Granny, bring up the dessert that Prince An loves the most."

An Chang felt a warm current in her heart, and her nose also felt a little sore.

Just as he was about to speak to Consort Zheng about the antidote pills, a palace maid walked in carrying a tray.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take the Imperial Preceptor's medicine."

An Chang's heart tightened. He peeked out and saw a thumb-sized pill and a cup of water on the plate.

Consort Zheng picked up the elixir, slowly put it into her mouth, and then picked up her water cup.

At the same time, An Chang exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine!"

Consort Zheng acted as if she hadn't heard An Chang's cries, simply covering her face with her sleeves and swallowing the medicine with water.

He then leisurely placed the water cup back on the plate and waved for the palace maid to leave.

Consort Zheng then turned to look at Consort An: "Consort An, what's wrong? Why did you exclaim in surprise just now?"

An Chang looked around the bedchamber and saw that Consort Zheng was not currently surrounded by any maids.

However, walls inevitably have eavesdroppers. An Chang approached Consort Zheng and whispered, "The Imperial Preceptor's elixirs are not to be taken."

"Oh? Why?" Consort Zheng asked in surprise.

An Chang moved closer to her, covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered, "Poison!"

Consort Zheng paused slightly, but her eyes suddenly cleared.

She glanced around before looking at An Chang. "An Chang, do you know that I've been taking the Imperial Preceptor's medicine for ten years?"

"What?!" An Chang's face was immediately filled with shock, worry, and fear.

No wonder the Imperial Concubine's health is deteriorating; besides poisoning, it must also be related to the Imperial Preceptor's elixirs.

Just as An Chang was panicking and at a loss, he caught a glimpse of the pill that Consort Zheng had hidden in her sleeve.

Was that the elixir that the palace maid just presented to her? Did the Imperial Concubine not take it?

Is this something that the Imperial Concubine deliberately and unintentionally showed him?

An Chang felt a storm raging in his mind. Then he looked up at Consort Zheng and found her looking at him with a strange expression.

Suddenly, An Chang understood.

Consort Zheng was telling him that she knew the Imperial Preceptor's elixirs were not to be taken, but walls have ears.

"My health has been poor ever since I gave birth to Ying'er. It is thanks to the Imperial Preceptor's elixirs that I have been able to live and enjoy these many more years."

After realizing what was happening, An Chang immediately replied, "Your Highness the Imperial Concubine is blessed with great fortune; with the Imperial Preceptor's blessing, she will surely enjoy good health!"

"You're such a good talker, child." Consort Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In a moment of quick thinking, An Chang handed the porcelain bottle containing the antidote pills to Consort Zheng and hastily changed his story:

"Your Highness, this is mango pomelo sago that the Dowager Consort specially asked me to bring you. The Dowager Consort said that drinking this can warm the body in the dry winter."

Consort Zheng accepted the porcelain vase and held it tightly in her hand. "Your Highness is so kind. An Chang, please thank Your Highness for me."

An Chang and the Seventh Princess had some refreshments together in the Consort's bedroom before leaving.

An Chang's legs felt weak, and his back was covered in cold sweat. He had felt like he was sitting on pins and needles with Consort Zheng.

Consort Zheng watched the two children leave, her eyes dimming as she did so.

An Chang's words aroused Consort Zheng's suspicions. The seemingly unrelated claims about mango pomelo syrup, winter dryness, and warming properties...

Consort Zheng quietly opened her hand that was holding the porcelain vase and found a very small piece of paper between her palm and the vase.

She secretly unfolded it and saw the words "Detoxification Pill".

After giving the Seventh Princess a few instructions, An Chang left Xiangxi Palace.

On his way out of the palace, An Chang passed by a rockery and saw the Imperial Preceptor and Wang Changlin standing side by side in the distance.

Judging from their manner of conversation, they are not strangers, and the matter they are discussing seems to be very important.

An Chang noticed that Wang Changlin's expression was very solemn.

Not daring to approach, An Chang was already pleasantly surprised to have caught this scene. Pretending not to see it, she walked straight toward the palace gate.

Back at Ling Shu Hall, An Chang told Zhao Jinzhong what had happened at Xiangxi Palace.

"So you didn't tell the Imperial Concubine about the antidote pill?" Zhao Jinzhong paced back and forth in the room.

"The atmosphere was very tense at the time. I felt that the Imperial Concubine was telling me that someone was watching her," An Chang said with lingering fear.

Zhao Jinzhong: "She didn't take the imperial remedy?"

An Chang: "She didn't eat it. The pills she was showing in her sleeve, and her eyes, both said that she didn't eat them."

Zhao Jinzhong sighed, "An Chang, it seems the situation in the harem is far more complicated than we imagined."

"Oh, you're right. You don't know, the half hour I spent in the Imperial Concubine's bedchamber felt eerie."

An Chang recalled, rubbing his arms unconsciously, his skin crawling with goosebumps.

While Zhao Jinzhong was still pondering Consort Zheng's matter, An Chang continued, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you."

"I saw the Imperial Advisor and the Prince together; they seem to know each other very well!"

An Chang described the scene he had seen to Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhao Jinzhong clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger. "Just as I expected!"

Wang Changlin does nothing but heinous and immoral things; he's everywhere!

Zhao Jinzhong turned to An Chang: "An Chang, we need to find some help."

They were outnumbered and young.

They have great enthusiasm, but the road ahead is too difficult. How long will it take for them to subdue the bad guys on their own?

How many innocent people will be implicated and poisoned?
