Physician Liu Fang’s nose twitched as his expression suddenly change subtly, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

Qin Jiu took the sachet and put it under her nose and smelled it.
“Wang momo, maybe you have put in too much Jiuhe Incense. I read in the book that a pinch of it is enough for each use, you’ve put too much in this sachet, I just got here but I already feel dizzy, let alone wangfei.”
Qin Jiu instructed like a guest acting as a host, “Take it away take it away, don’t let wangfei smell it again.”
She handed the silver-scented sachet back to Wang momo again.
The fold between Duan Wangye’s eyebrows deepened as he said to himself with displeasure.
The rumors in the capital are indeed correct, this Third Miss Qin not only knows no manners but is also long-winded! Doesn’t she see, she has no right to speak here!
Duan Wangye coughed twice and cleared his throat, “Third Miss Qin, don’t be ridiculous.”
“Wangye, wangfei is feeling stuffy and dizzy right now, perhaps she smelled this incense too much that’s why she fainted.” Qin Jiu retorted with a look of disapproval.
Duan Wangye was unwilling to associate himself with this annoying troublemaker, frowning he called out, “Zezhi.”
His intention was to let Gu Zezhi take care of his daughter-in-law that hasn’t even passed their door yet*.

Gu Zezhi smiled as if he didn’t hear him and didn’t say a word.
He looked at Qin Jiu with gentle and bright eyes.
This girl and he have a tacit understanding, she already knows what he wants without him saying a word at all.
In this world, there was no other person who could share his heart as much as Qin Jiu.
Seeing the grateful look she received from the golden thigh, her eyes brightened up thinking she had done a good job!
“Zezhi!” Duan Wangye’s tone got heavier as he called out Gu Zezhi again.
“Xiao Jiu,” Gu Zezhi called gently, but instead of “admonishing” her rudeness as the Duan Wangye wanted, he instead said, “Whether the smell of this incense is the cause mother fainted or what father said it true, is useless. Physician Liu is here, let physician Liu take a look.”
“I agree.” Qin Jiu sang in the same tone as Gu Zezhi tacitly and naturally commanded.
“Wang momo, please show it to Physician Liu.”

And so, the sachet was handed to Physician Liu Fang.
When the sachet was just taken out, Physician Liu Fang felt something was wrong. After taking it, he smelled it immediately and carefully opened the sachet, took out the incense inside, looked at it carefully, and crushed it again. After breaking it a little, and smelling it again, his expression became more solemn.
Then he handed Jiuhe incense to the other two physicians before the three of them gathered around and whispered.
This time, even Duan Wangye could see something was wrong without Qin Jiu pointing out anything more.
Duan Wangye hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with this sachet?”
Physician Liu Fang said hesitantly, “Wangye the incense may be poisonous.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the surrounding became even quieter.
Duan Wangye’s eyes widened in shock and unconsciously blurted out, “That’s impossible!”
“……” Physician Liu Fang’s expression was even more hesitant.
The rear courtyard always has shameful secrets, especially a harem like this, and it seems that this household was also the same. Physicians like him were the most unwilling to encounter this kind of situation, lest they accidentally implicate themselves in it.
However, it was Duan Wang Fei who was poisoned now, and Zhou Xin was still here, this matter would surely be reported to the imperial court and there was no way to hide it.

“How can it be poisonous?!” Duan Wangye still didn’t believe it.
“This Jiuhe incense is used by wangfei every day.”
Physician Liu Fang looked sympathetically at the weakened Duan Wang Fei and said, “Because wangfei is using it every day, she is eroded by the toxins in the incense which causes her to weaken.”
Duan Wangye questioned with a look of disbelief, “Then tell me what poison is in it!”
Physician Liu Fang said, “We have to light some incense, so this physician can judge.”
“Light it.”
Duan Wangye insisted, “You must have made a mistake!”
So, Physician Liu Fang personally lit a piece of Jiuhe incense, as the incense was burning, the fragrance intensified. The three physicians gathered together, smelling the incense for a few seconds and discussing it in whispers for a while.
In the end, Imperial Physician Liu Fang came over to report to Duan Wangye on behalf of the other two physicians.
“Wangye, this incense is really poisonous!” Physician Liu Fang’s tone was very certain.

Duan Wangye looked suspiciously at the burning incense and wangfei when heard Physician Liu Fang continue, “This incense is indeed Jiuhe incense, but it is mixed with a kind of herb called Chifeng Grass.”
“This kind of Chifeng Grass is extremely rare in the Central Plains. It only grows in a few small counties in the west of western Xinjiang. It is very poisonous. If an ordinary person smells it for a day or two, they will feel lethargic and after inhaling it a long time, the toxin will invade the heart and lungs through the nose and gradually erode the body.”
“At first, a person who inhaled this will only feel tired, but slowly, a feeling of thousands of ants crawling into the body hollowing out the flesh inside, and eventually the medicine can no longer help!”
After a pause, Physician Liu Fang’s expression became even more serious, “Moreover, the overwhelming toxicity of this Chifeng Grass lies in the fact that the diagnosis cannot be made by relying on the pulse alone.”
The other two imperial physicians also nodded slightly and looked solemn.
That’s why, although Duan Wang Fei has seen several imperial physicians, all they did was examined wangfei’s pulsed so they all just think she was overworked and tired.
If they have smelled the scent now, how couldn’t they know that someone had tampered with the Jiuhe incense!
No, it should be mentioned that if they inhaled this incense little by little on a regular basis, they were afraid they couldn’t distinguish it. After all, the smell of the Chifeng Gras was not that discernable in the Jiuhe incense.
But because Duan Wang Fei didn’t sleep well today, the sachet she had with her contained a lot of Jiuhe incense than normal, and because of this, the smell was stronger causing Duan Wang Fei to faint which led them to realize that there was something wrong.
The short and stout imperial physician couldn’t help but sigh and muttered, “It’s all heaven’s will!”
