Chapter 286: General Weiyuan was poisoned?
The eldest prince paced around the study room with a sinister look in his eyes. After a short while, he made up his mind:
“Smallpox is not something that is easy to deal with.
Since Yun Shu has the guts to let people figure this out, then he should be prepared for accidental infection!"
"Your Highness means..."
The staff was startled, and then their eyes were filled with heat:
"Your Highness is right. This time, we must make sure that nothing goes wrong!"
In the dimly lit study, the voices of the eldest prince and his aide were so low that they were even a little strange.
Under the cover of night, everything seemed exceptionally peaceful.
When attending the morning court the next day, the eldest prince did not seem to be abnormal.
When the court was dismissed, General Weiyuan walked quickly behind Yunshu for a while. He stopped Yunshu and asked with a grim expression, "What happened?"
"Your Highness, I heard that the person who assassinated you at the Tianwaitian Restaurant that day was sent by Beixiang?"
"Where did General Weiyuan hear this rumor?"
The Dragon Shadow Guards took action on the day of the incident, so everything should have been handled very cleanly.
Yun Shu smiled and put his hands in his pockets, looking calm and composed:
"Bei Xiang is not crazy. Sending someone to assassinate me at this time is nothing but courting self-destruction."
"Really?"
General Weiyuan was somewhat suspicious:
"Then why did such a rumor appear?"
"Then we need to ask the General where he heard this rumor from."
Yun Shu pushed the question back calmly and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"But someone deliberately let the general hear this?"
"There's no need to do this on purpose...hiss..."
General Weiyuan stretched out his hand and scratched his neck uncomfortably:
"Why do I suddenly feel itchy all over my body?"
Itching all over your body?
Yun Shu frowned and looked at the place where General Weiyuan's hand had just scratched, then his expression became serious and he suddenly stepped back a long distance:
"Come here, send the imperial doctor!"
"It's just an itch, what's the point of spreading so much..."
General Weiyuan originally thought that Yunshu was making a big deal out of nothing, but when he was halfway through his words, he saw the dense red dots that suddenly appeared on the back of his hand.
The pair of tiger eyes instantly widened like copper bells:
"What is this? Could it be that I have contracted smallpox?"
Because he was too shocked, he even forgot that he was in front of Yun Shu for a moment, and was so scared that he burst into swearing.
Yun Shu, who was nearly ten meters away from him, had a gloomy face. While pondering what this trick was, he calmly analyzed:
"Smallpox won't all break out at once. Your case is most likely rubella, or someone has given you some kind of drug."
Rash, that's an allergy.
General Weiyuan had never encountered such a situation before, so he immediately ruled out the first possibility.
While scratching the itchy places on his body, he cursed:
"Damn it, who is so wicked as to poison me?
If I find out, I will skin him alive!"
Knowing that he didn't have smallpox, a disease that was hopeless, General Weiyuan's heart finally settled down a little.
After his mind calmed down a bit, he looked at Yun Shu with a look that seemed a little strange:
"Since I was merely drugged and not suffering from any contagious disease, why did Your Highness avoid me at such a distance?"
"Who knows if there is any residual poison powder on you?" Yun Shu said clearly and logically:
"What if the wind blows me?"
General Weiyuan: “…”
Okay, you are the princess, you are indeed noble!
He stared at the young eunuch next to him with a fierce face and led him into an empty side hall with a frightened look.
After waiting for a long time, the imperial physician arrived. When the imperial physician saw that his exposed skin was covered with red rashes, he was so scared that he almost turned around and ran away on the spot!
In the end, Yun Shu helped explain a few words from a distance, and asked General Weiyuan to change his clothes and wash his hands first.
The imperial physician finally stepped forward tremblingly to feel the patient's pulse, and then his expression visibly relaxed.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. General Weiyuan was just poisoned by a kind of toxic powder called 'Itchy Powder'.
This poisonous powder does not cause much harm to the human body, but it will make people feel extremely itchy all over the body and develop many small red rashes like this.
But it will subside in seven days at most.”
"Seven days?!"
General Weiyuan's defense was broken:
"You mean I have to bear this toad skin for seven days?"
"Forehead……"
The doctor, whose ears were almost deafened, shrank his neck and said cautiously:
"I can prescribe some anti-itching ointment. You'll feel much better after applying it.
But it will take seven days for the rashes to completely disappear.”
"There's ointment, why don't you open it now!"
Even though this body of red rashes made him look extremely ugly, he still had to stay away from his wife, otherwise she would definitely dislike him.
But it was still good news that it could stop the itch that was almost driving him crazy.
Watching the imperial physician write the name of the ointment to him as quickly as possible, General Weiyuan was even too lazy to wait for the eunuchs who were moving slowly on the road.
He ran straight to get the medicine for himself.
The imperial physician who had his prescription "robbed" wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
Just as he was about to pack up and leave, a wrist suddenly stretched out in front of him.
"Show it to me too."
General Weiyuan looked a little too scary.
When Yun Shu thought about how she had just spoken to him face to face and even witnessed the process of the rashes appearing up close, she felt uneasy:
"I am worried that some of the remaining 'Itching Powder' on General Weiyuan's body may have been blown onto me by the wind."
"……Yes."
The doctor's hands suddenly trembled as he was packing up the medicine box. He quickly put away the pulse pillow that General Weiyuan had just used and replaced it with a new one for Yun Shu:
"Your Highness, please."
Seeing this, Yun Shu also cooperated by placing her wrist on the pulse pillow and letting the imperial physician diagnose her in detail.
"how?"
Seeing the bad look on the doctor's face, Yun Shu became more and more worried:
"Did the 'Itching Powder' really blow onto me?"
"Don't panic, Your Highness."
The doctor said not to panic and knelt down with a thud:
"Your Highness does not have much 'Itching Powder' on his body. The 'Itching Powder' toxins I found on your body are much less than those on General Weiyuan.
Even if...even if two hours later, the 'Yingyang Powder' starts to take effect, the rash on your body will definitely not be too severe, just...just a little bit..."
Yun Shu: “…”
