Li Yan's pretty face turned red. She didn't know how to answer such an explicit question.
But I have to say that what Ji Jie said was all right. This was really the reason why she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep every night. In the first half of the night, her whole body was unbearably hot, and her mind kept fantasizing about a strong man appearing next to her. I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, but I woke up again and again because my limbs were cold. As a result, my mental state was very poor during the day. Every time I went to court, I had to fight hard to stay awake.
There was no need to answer, Ji Jie already knew the answer. He said with a smile: "A doctor has a parent's heart, and I definitely don't mean to look down on Yan Hou. As I said, you are poisoned!"
Li Yan calmed his racing heart a little and asked, "Jun Zhaowen, can you tell me what kind of poison I have been poisoned by?"
"Specifically speaking, it can't be considered poison!" Ji Jie chuckled and said, "If I guessed correctly, it should be an aphrodisiac. The dosage each time is very small. The palace maid and eunuch who is responsible for testing is not a fixed person. , so it won’t have much impact on them. If they are eunuchs, it won’t have any impact at all. In addition, aphrodisiacs are not poisons, and silver chopsticks and tableware will not turn black!”
"Aphrodisiac!" Li Yan exclaimed. Obviously she knew very well what this thing was used for, but what was the purpose of giving aphrodisiac to a widow like her? There are no men in the palace now!
Of course, the infant King of Chu was not a man, let alone the eunuch.
A very small amount of aphrodisiac will not be effective if taken once or twice, but if taken every day, it will be very powerful over time.
Ji Jie guessed that there were two reasons: first, although there were no men in the palace, men often entered the palace, such as Li Yuan, the Queen Mother, who committed adultery in the palace, which was a serious crime, especially incest with her own brother. If the news spread, she, the Queen Mother, and the Prime Minister of Li Yuan would be the leader. It must be said that this was a dirty trick without any bloodshed;
Secondly, Li Yan could withstand the loneliness in the palace and strictly abide by women's ethics. The amount of aphrodisiac accumulated in his body was increasing, which would have a serious impact on the human endocrine system. In addition, the nourishing medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors Such decoctions, blindly nourishing her, over time, even her iron-clad body will not be able to withstand it. It is estimated that she will die in less than a year!
It's also a deadly attack, so insidious!
After listening to Ji Jie's explanation, Li Yan's back was covered in cold sweat, as was his forehead.
"Then what should we do?" Li Yan said in a panic: "I don't know what kind of food these aphrodisiacs are hidden in!"
"This is not a difficult task. The cooks in the dining room, the eunuchs and maids who serve the dishes, and anyone who has access to your food and drink will be investigated thoroughly!" Ji Jie said with a relaxed expression: "Even if we can't find out, replace them all. Just drop them, and then tighten the supervision of new personnel and shorten the replacement time of these people, and the people behind the scenes can only stare!"
"Yes, yes, Zhao Wenjun is right, I will arrange this immediately!" Li Yan's heart finally fell to the ground.
"However, the trouble is the matter in front of you!" Ji Jie rubbed his hands and said, "Aphrodisiacs are different from poisons, but all poisons basically have detoxification methods, but aphrodisiacs are more troublesome, and generally use guidance method!"
Li Yan's face turned even redder. She already understood what Ji Jie meant by "guidance", which was to find a man to go to bed with, and the guidance was completed with just one call.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Ji Jie quickly changed the topic. He was afraid that he would "lose his virginity" if things continued like this.
"There is another thing that is also very important, and that is to find out the types of aphrodisiacs!" Ji Jie deliberately looked away from Li Yan and said, "Only in this way can we better detoxify and take precautions in the future!"
"Then, what needs to be done?" Li Yan asked in a low voice.
"It's easy!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "Just tell the palace maid that you are not feeling well and have no appetite. The meal arrangement for the evening is simpler. Just porridge for one night will be enough!"
In this way, the person behind the scenes will definitely put the medicine in the porridge, saving Ji Jie from looking for it from a table of dishes, and he will not be in trouble.
"Good idea, let's do it!" Li Yan quickly told Ji Jie what he had said.
In order to test the properties of the aphrodisiac, Ji Jie stayed with Li Yan, but he hid in the place where Li Yuan hid last time, and paid close attention to everything that happened outside through the small hole.
Soon it was dinner time, and the palace maid came holding a mahogany tray with a delicate white porcelain bowl on it. The bowl contained snow-white Tremella and lotus seed soup and a small spoon.
"Your Majesty, please have a meal!" The palace maid placed the porridge bowl on the low table next to Li Yan's bed and asked, "Do you need a slave to serve you with your meal?"
"No need, you can go out first. I will ask you to clean up after I finish eating!"
"Yes, slave, please leave!"
The palace maid left, and Ji Jie appeared. He scooped up a small spoonful of porridge and smelled it. Apart from the aroma of the porridge itself, he really didn't smell anything else.
This is not to say that there was no medicine in the porridge, but it was because he was an unqualified doctor. He once again thought of the little girl Zhao Qian. If she were here, everything would have been solved long ago.
"How is it?" Li Yan asked with concern.
"No, we can't be sure whether he was drugged or not!" Ji Jie shook his head.
"Then there's only one way!" Li Yan picked up the small bowl and said, "If I eat it, I'll know soon if I've been drugged!"
It's a way, although it seems a bit stupid.
Ji Jie hurriedly returned the spoon to her and told her not to finish the meal. He would take the rest back for research.
After half a bowl of porridge was eaten, Li Yan put down the spoon, took out a silk scarf with graceful movements, and wiped it on his lips. Ji Jie almost had tears streaming down his cheeks, not because he was greedy, but because he saw the beauty eating so hard. It's so pleasing to the eye.
"Under normal circumstances, you go to bed half an hour after dinner!" Li Yan recalled what happened in the past and said: "Before going to bed, my body has already started to feel hot. If there is medicine in this bowl, it should be there in a quarter of an hour. Feel!"
"Okay, just wait a quarter of an hour!" Ji Jie nodded.
The atmosphere in the room had some abnormal elements. Since the death of the old King Chu, few men appeared in Li Yan's palace, especially at night.
"By the way, does Mr. Zhaowen have any heirs?" Li Yan asked, obviously looking for something to say.
"Not yet!" Ji Jie shook his head.
"I heard that Mr. Zhaowen has many lovely wives and concubines around him. How come he has no heirs?"
"I am still a big kid myself, how can I have a child?" Ji Jie replied with a smile: "Raising a son is a big deal, and I will definitely not have one before I am ready!"
Li Yan was surprised. Such a view was definitely unconventional in ancient times more than two thousand years ago.
Time passed like this, and Li Yan clearly felt a warm current appear in his lower abdomen, and then a feeling of heat appeared all over his body, and his big eyes held an unconcealable spring tide.
Ji Jie understood everything from the changes in her expression. Someone had indeed drugged the porridge.
