She was too lazy to clean up after dressing up as a villain heroine

Qiao Zhenzhen saw her master's expression and quickly got vaccinated.

"Master, don't even think about going into the palace to drug the eldest princess. The palace is heavily guarded. Don't let anyone catch you."

"Master is that stupid? Are you going to break into the palace?" Xie Qianzhong snorted, "A princess who has the ability will stay in the palace her whole life. Sooner or later, she will have to marry someone and leave the palace!"

"Just because you leave the palace doesn't mean you can poison her at will—"

"Ha." Xie Qianzhong said with a sarcastic face, "I was too merciful to that Shenghua County Master last time, look at her still showing off like that now."

"I have already told my father about the matter of Lord Shenghua County. He will handle it. Master, please don't interfere."

At this time, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the yard, interrupting Qiao Zhenzhen's memories.

She quickly stood up and said, "It's bad, it's my master. I forgot to tell your guards that my master always climbed over the wall when he came here. I guess he thought he was an assassin."

Chu Cong was a little confused, and watched the girl rush out after finishing speaking.

The chamberlain Wang Cheng came in with a tea tray and poured him a cup of hot tea. He brought his own tea leaves and fetched the water from the well himself. The prince was outside and had to be careful about everything he ate.

Because of this, Qiao Zhenzhen didn't let the maid serve him tea at first.

"Wang Cheng, go out and take a look."

Wang Cheng lowered his head and agreed, quickly ran to the door, looked around, and said back, "It's okay, sir, Miss Mo stopped them."

Chu Cong was relieved and took a sip from the teacup.

After a while, Qiao Zhenzhen led a white-haired old man with an immortal spirit into the main room, followed by four guards who were looking at him eagerly.

This old man didn't wear cotton-padded clothes in the winter, only an ordinary Taoist robe that didn't look very thick, but his demeanor was still as straight as a pine tree, and he didn't shrink back.

Chu Cong knew at a glance that this was indeed an expert.

"This is Mr. Chu." Qiao Zhenzhen introduced to Xie Qianzhong.

Chu Cong stood up from his seat.

Xie Qianzhong smiled kindly and nodded to him, "Zhenzhen told me about your situation when she came back. Come on, go to my study and I'll take a look at it for you."

With that said, he stepped out of the main room.

Qiao Zhenzhen explained to Chu Cong in a low voice, "Master is not a very polite person. I hope the eldest son will forgive him for his disrespect."

Chu Cong smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, the miracle doctor is not an ordinary person."

The group of people wanted to follow Xie Qianzhong into the study, but they heard him say, "The others stay outside the door."

The guards were worried.

"Eldest Young Master..."

Chu Cong raised his hand to stop him. Since he dared to come to Baoguo Temple, he trusted Mo Qingyang's daughter.

All the people serving were left outside the study. Qiao Zhenzhen was the last one to enter. While closing the door, she said to the chamberlain following Chu Cong: "Keep your heart in your stomach."

Xie Qianzhong stretched out his hand and said, "Prince, please sit down."

Chu Cong sat down in front of the case.

Xie Qianzhong then sat on the other side, and Qiao Zhenzhen brought a plain pulse pillow and placed it on the table.

"Right hand." Xie Qianzhong said.

Chu Cong's words followed each action.

Xie Qianzhong took the pulse and asked Qiao Zhenzhen, "What did you think when you looked at him earlier?"

This means seeing a doctor and giving lectures at the same time.

Qiao Zhenzhen thought for a moment and said, "I just thought he was a little weak. I met the prince once a few months ago. Looking back now, the prince was full of energy and blood at that time, his back was straight, and his movements were nimble and light. But this time, when we met, he was There was an indescribable feeling that he was trying to hold on, and I couldn’t tell for the moment whether it was because the ceremonial dress was too heavy, or because his own energy had become weak.”

Xie Qiandeng nodded, "What else?"

"The complexion is also paler than before. Although it is true that it is paler in winter than in summer, the prince's white is not too shiny, and his lip color has a hint of cyan."

Listening to the conversation between master and apprentice, Chu Cong felt as if he was not present.

And are his lips turning blue?

Why don't I feel anything when I look in the mirror?

No wonder he noticed Miss Mo staring at him several times during the palace banquet. He originally thought...

Xie Qianzhong asked again: "Any other ideas?"

Qiao Zhenzhen thought about it carefully and shook her head, "I just feel that his energy has become weaker."

Qi is something that cannot be seen or touched, it is purely based on feelings.

But Xie Qianzhong recognized it very much and hoped to be ranked first.

It is called the spirit that can be seen and understood. The first thing to look at during diagnosis is the human spirit.

Xie Qianzhong also asked Qiao Zhenzhen to come over and take Chu Cong's pulse, and told her what kind of pulse it was. Qiao Zhenzhen concentrated and explored the feeling under her fingers. After a while, she shook her head and nodded, "I can feel that the prince's pulse is a little weak. It feels a bit stagnant.”

"Take your time." Xie Qianzhong looked at Chu Cong, "Other hand."

Chu Cong changed his left hand.

Feel like a teaching tool.

After diagnosing the pulse, Xie Qianzhong asked Chu Cong, "Did the prince fall ill a few days ago?"

Chu Cong nodded, "I got caught in the rain during autumn hunting and developed a high fever."

"Is the illness going well?"

"The fever returned several times, and it took a long time. Later, I had a cough and felt tired easily."

In fact, he still coughs a little now, and occasionally coughs once or twice. When someone is around, he will hold back, not wanting to make himself look too weak.

Qiao Zhenzhen added on the side, "The Queen said that it will take two months for the prince to recover from his illness."

In other words, he will recover on the eve of the crown prince's canonization ceremony.

Xie Qianzhong laughed, "Although it took some trouble, the prince should really be grateful for this illness."

Chu Cong didn't know why.

Qiao Zhenzhen asked: "Why did Master say this?"

Xie Qianzhong looked at her, "Your suspicion is correct. He is indeed poisoned. It is a chronic poison."

Chu Cong was shocked. In fact, when he came to Baoguo Temple this time, he didn't feel that his body was really caused by someone as his mother said. He had been ill for a long time before, but he thought it was related to his recent busy schedule and preparations for the canonization ceremony.

It is not an easy task to poison someone in the palace, and he is very careful about his diet.

But because he said thank you to the miracle doctor for being here, such a legendary figure, he had to come and see him even if he wasn't sick. What's more, I had been ill before, and I did feel that my body was not as good as before. The imperial doctor only said that my vitality had been damaged, and I would just recuperate. However, the imperial doctor always reported good things but not bad things.

If the miracle doctor could give an accurate answer, he would be completely at ease.

But I didn't expect...

It's really poisoning.

Qiao Zhenzhen was a little bit proud. She had only been studying for a long time and she was already so sharp-eyed.

But Xie Qianzhong's next words severely damaged her self-confidence, "But what you saw actually had nothing to do with his poisoning. It was because he was seriously ill that he showed those symptoms."

Qiao Zhenzhen's smile spread across her face.

Xie Qianzhong continued, "But it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with poisoning."

Qiao Zhenzhen made a face, "Master, can you finish what you said at once without gasping for breath. Am I successful or not?"

Xie Qianzhong smiled, "Let's hope it works out."

Qiao Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him and said "cut".

Xie Qianzhong explained: "He has only been poisoned for a short period of time. If it hadn't been for the previous illness, with your current condition..." He shook his head, "I'm afraid there are no clues."
