Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

When they came to the East Palace, Empress Changsun found that Li You and Duanmu Rong were also here.

Remembering the medicine given to her by mage Daoyue just now, she quickly took out the bottle and asked, "Your, help me see if this medicine can be given to the prince?"

Hearing this, Li You quickly poured out one and held it in his hand.

To be honest, it is really difficult to distinguish the ingredients in this dark pill.

This is especially true for people like Li You who don't have much knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine.

Li You held it in his hand, looked at it, put it under his nose and smelled it, except for a faint fragrance, he didn't know anything.

Li You didn't talk nonsense: "I seem to smell ambergris, cardamom and cinnamon in the medicine of the empress. I don't know where this medicine comes from?"

Empress Changsun didn't think much about it, and said, "This medicine was given to me by Master Daoqiu of Dazongchi Temple in Yongyangfang, southwest corner of Chang'an City."

"The mage said that this is the elixir they refined, which can detoxify and strengthen the body, and at the same time relieve the prince's pain, but he just told me not to give the prince too much."

Hearing this, Li You couldn't help feeling a little more defensive.

He hasn't thought about the bad things yet, he just simply thinks that these pills are not edible.

You must know that the main additives in alchemy are either mercury or cinnabar, and these things are extremely harmful to the human body.

According to legend, after Wang Xuance defeated Tianzhu, he brought back from Tianzhu an eminent monk who was said to be able to refine the medicine of immortality.

Li Shimin was overjoyed at that time, so he asked that you Suo Pomei to make medicine for him.

However, although the power of the world was mobilized, and strange medicines and stones were consumed, which cannot be counted, the life-prolonging medicine that was finally created had no effect after Li Shimin took it.

Although it was not said in history that Li Shimin's death from a serious illness had anything to do with this life-prolonging medicine, in Li You's mind he did not take it seriously.

Whether Li Shimin was killed by these elixirs remains to be investigated, but the deaths of the five emperors Tang Xianzong, Tang Muzong, Tang Jingzong, Tang Wuzong, and Tang Xuanzong in the late Tang Dynasty were all related to poisoning by taking elixirs.

Now Li Chengqian's problem is only pain. To be honest, he just endured it and passed it. But if Li Chengqian is really exposed to these pills, the consequences will be disastrous.

Even at this moment, Li You thought that Li Chengqian's personality change in the later period might be caused by taking these medicines and damaging his brain.

Otherwise, according to the current situation, Li You really couldn't figure out how the high-ranking prince would cause psychological distortion just because of his physical disability.

Seeing Li You's face change, Empress Changsun immediately realized something, and asked, "Is there something wrong with this medicine?"

Looking at Empress Changsun's expectant eyes, Li You said noncommittally: "Empress, I understand your feelings, but His Royal Highness is now Dr. Duanmu's patient. I think we should respect Dr. Duanmu when it comes to medication."

Since Duanmu Rong's arrival, her status in the palace is not low.

Although Duanmurong is not an imperial doctor in name, but because she is also a woman, the concubines in the palace are more willing to ask Duanmurong to see a doctor when they are sick.

Empress Changsun encountered a lot of problems when she was pregnant before, and it was Duanmurong who helped her.

Hearing Li You's words, Empress Changsun cast expectant eyes on Duanmu Rong.

Duanmu Rong's face remained unchanged, but after taking the pill from Li You's hand, after sniffing it, her expression changed drastically.

"Empress, have you given this medicine to the prince?"

Empress Changsun was also surprised by this sudden change, she quickly waved her hands and said, "No, not yet. I just came back from Dazongchi Temple."

Hearing this, Duanmu Rong felt relieved and said, "Fortunately, if I'm not mistaken, this medicine should contain 'Diyejia', which comes from the Western Regions."

Hearing this name, Li You thought of it for a moment, and his expression changed immediately: "Doctor Duanmu, are you sure?"

Duan Murong is actually not sure: "According to the records in the book, this 'Diyejia' is usually in the form of a paste, which can be used externally or taken internally. Although it also has the effect of detoxification and analgesia, it is not small in itself."

"Although what the queen took out was a pill, its color and taste were consistent with those recorded in the book, and according to the queen's statement, the effect of taking the medicine was also consistent with 'Diyega'."

Hearing this, Empress Changsun also panicked a little: "Probably not, this mage Daoqiu is a well-known eminent monk, proficient in medical science, and has a great reputation among the people."

However, Li You didn't take Empress Changsun's explanation seriously. It's common for monks and Taoists to make alchemy and eat themselves to death.

Li You comforted Empress Changsun and said, "Empress, since Dr. Duanmu has doubts about this medicine, it's fine if we don't take it."

"As for whether the medicine contains 'Diyega' or not, it is actually very simple, we will know by doing an experiment."

The main ingredient in this "Diyaka" is poppy. In this era, it is actually very difficult to distinguish whether it contains poppy.

Generally speaking, there are three methods.

The first is to look at it with the eyes. The appearance of the poppy shell is easy to identify. It is similar in size to a quail egg, and one end is pointed and the other is crowned. Generally, it can be identified at a glance.

Therefore, it is possible to judge whether poppy shells are added in food by distinguishing the shape.

But now, these things have been ground into powder and made into pills, so this method is naturally useless.

The second is to judge through personal physical reactions.

The morphine contained in poppies can easily cause adverse reactions such as pleasure, excitement, and joy.

Most people will show abnormal excitement after taking too much, and they are also prone to flushing, tearing, and runny nose.

These manifestations, if present, may be caused by ingestion of opium poppy.

And after taking it for a long time, the body will also have a sense of dependence, which is often called addiction.

But the biggest problem with this method is that someone has to take these pills first, which is not available as far as the current situation is concerned.

Of course, there is a third way, which is morphine detection.

However, there are no such tools in this day and age.

However, if there is nothing in this era, surely Li You does not have it?

Just when Duanmu Rong had doubts, Li You had already remembered that he had obtained drug testing kits, and now these limited edition props were placed in the medical laboratory of Shence Mansion.

At that time, Li You was still mocking the system for giving him some useless things, but he didn't expect that these things would actually come in handy now.

Hearing that Li You said that the test is available, Empress Changsun, who was going back to the palace, did not leave, and everyone returned to the Medical Laboratory of Shence Mansion together.

Duanmu Rong quickly crushed the pill, dissolved it, mixed it completely with the test solution, and dropped it on the test box.

Soon, two clear red lines appeared before everyone's eyes.

"You'er, what do these two lines mean?"
