Seeing Song Changlin's appearance, Princess Rui wanted to go up and kick him to relieve her anger.
Li Zian was relatively calm, after all, he and Shen Tianshu had just been watching Song Changlin's every move.
Although Song Changlin was indeed a bit oversensitive, Li Zian didn't notice any unusual behavior in him.
"Is there any problem?" Li Zian turned to ask Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu walked to the bedside, picked up the medicated oil that Song Changlin had just used, put it to his nose and smelled it carefully, and asked: "Doctor Song, is this the medicated oil I gave you?"
"Yes!" Song Changlin didn't expect that she would ask such a question, and hurriedly said, "It's the medicated oil you gave me. I've been using this... What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the medicated oil? It's impossible. !”
"What happened to the medicinal oil?" Li Zian also asked.
"Dragon bone is added to this medicinal oil."
Shen Tianshu felt that there was something wrong with Song Changlin's smell before, but it was too slight and he couldn't distinguish it clearly.
Just now, when Song Changlin poured the medicated oil on his hands and rubbed it to warm it, the smell was immediately amplified several times, and Shen Tianshu immediately smelled something wrong.
Shen Tianshu knew that Princess Rui and Li Zian did not understand, so he further explained: "Dragon bones are a medicinal material, usually the bones of animals that died many years ago left in the soil, and are slowly petrified over time.
"Dragon bone has the effects of calming the nerves, calming the liver and subduing yang, astringing and fixing astringency. It is mainly used to treat restlessness, palpitations, insomnia, epilepsy, mania and other diseases."
"It can be used raw or calcined before use. When used raw, it is mainly used to calm Yang and calm the mind."
Shen Tianshu raised the medicated oil in his hand and said, "When I was talking to Dr. Song yesterday, I smelled a very faint smell, so I asked Dr. Song if he had the habit of wearing sachets.
“But the smell was too weak at the time, and when I tried to smell it more carefully, it disappeared. At that time, I thought it was my own imagination.
"Unexpectedly, after Dr. Song entered the house today, I smelled this faint smell again. When I was trying to distinguish it, Dr. Song opened the medicinal oil, and I finally determined the source of the smell.
"This bottle of medicated oil has been added with raw dragon bone, so using this medicated oil to massage the prince twice a day will allow the medicinal effect to pass through the acupuncture points and meridians, making the prince fall into a more lethargic state without any reaction... "
Only then did Princess Rui understand why the prince felt even more comatose even though his pulse had been fine during this period.
She asked anxiously: "Will this medicine do any harm to the prince after taking it?"
"At present, it seems that there is actually no harm. After stopping the use, after the medicine in the prince's body is gone, it should be the same as before." Shen Tianshu frowned slightly as he spoke, and looked at Song Changlin with some confusion. , "So why did Dr. Song add dragon bone to the medicinal oil?"
However, Song Changlin shook his head like a rattle and denied repeatedly: "Princess, your Majesty, I know that I have never added any dragon bones to the medicinal oil. This medicinal oil has been refined, and it is not just poured in." Things can be blended in once you put them in!”
Hearing this, Li Zian looked at Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu nodded solemnly. Song Changlin's words made sense. The medicinal oil currently smelled the same as the one she made except for the added flavor of dragon bone.
But the medicinal oil she uses is the Jiang family's unique formula, which has not been made public. Even if something happens to the Jiang family, the prescriptions in the old house are not accessible to just anyone...
Li Zian lowered his head and asked Song Changlin: "Who else can have access to your medicine box besides yourself?"
"Every time I give the prince a massage, I go home directly, and the medicine box is placed in the study. When I am not here, the study is always locked, and no one in the family will touch it, let alone outsiders. The medicine box and its contents."
"What's the use of locking the study? Anyone who knows how to pick the lock can just open it." Li Zian frowned.
Hearing this, Song Changlin said: "The prince doesn't know something. Every time I go home, I seal the medicine box with a seal. I won't personally check and remove the seal until the next time I'm going to give the prince a massage.
"The main reason is that I'm afraid that the children at home will be curious and ignorant, and secretly tamper with the contents of the medicine box behind my back. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the small medicine box. There should be traces of a seal on it!"
Li Zian lowered his head and saw that indeed, the opening of the medicine box still had many traces of sealing paper that had not been torn cleanly.
Shen Tianshu could see that Li Zian still trusted Song Changlin, so he asked: "Doctor Song, if you recall carefully, is it true that the medicine box has never left your body?"
"Really, I dare..." Song Changlin was about to say that he could guarantee it, but he was suddenly stunned.
"Dr. Song, what did you remember?" Shen Tianshu asked immediately.
"This..." Song Changlin's expression was very tangled, as if he didn't know how to talk about it, or was considering whether he should say it or not.
Li Zian said coldly: "Doctor Song is almost in danger now. What else is there to worry about? Just say whatever you can think of quickly, lest you have no chance to say it again in the future."
His words almost paralyzed Song Changlin with fright, and he said tremblingly: "Some time ago, when I returned from a massage for the prince, I met Doctor Liu in the mansion. He invited me out for a drink, but he didn't care at that time. When I got home, I put down the medicine box and took it with me.
"When I was drinking in a restaurant, I went out for a convenience trip once. Doctor Liu was the only one in the private room at that time. The medicine box should have been left at that time."
Before Shen Tianshu realized who Doctor Liu was talking about, he heard Princess Rui say: "Liu Xukun! Is it him?"
"No way..." Shen Tianshu's first reaction was to refuse to believe it.
Who is Liu Xukun? He is Jiang Sui's favorite disciple and the senior brother who watched her grow up.
Although they had not seen each other for many years, Shen Tianshu could not believe that his senior brother who loved him like an elder would do such a thing.
But when she thought about it, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.
She had vaguely felt that Li Zian was repelling Liu Xukun before, but she didn't know why at the time.
I thought it was just because Liu Xukun was sent by the emperor that he was on guard at all times, and even felt a little aggrieved for him.
But now that I think about it carefully, I am still too naive.
Although the medicinal oil she made for Song Changlin was a secret recipe of the Jiang family, Liu Xukun, who was Jiang Sui's direct disciple, naturally knew about it.
Therefore, Liu Xukun is obviously much more suspect than Song Changlin in formulating exactly the same medicated oil except for the addition of dragon bone...
Although he came to this conclusion intellectually, it was really hard for Shen Tianshu to accept it emotionally.
