C402 Body test
Upon hearing the imperial concubine's request, Baili Jinxiu shook his head and rejected without even thinking: "Noble Consort, I am the person involved in this matter.
No matter if Mo Mansion wronged me or I harmed Second Master Mo, I can't possibly be drunk in front of the empress dowager, right?
I can't drink that much, I'll be drunk before it's even a tael of yellow wine. "Can it be that there are people who are forced to admit defeat, and there are even people who are forced to confess while drunk?"
Baili Jinxiu's sarcastic remarks angered the imperial concubine to the point of wanting to slam the table.
Imperial Concubine thought that Baili Jinxiu would keep insisting that the prescription was wrong, but no one could prove it to Baili Jinxiu. Then, in the end, Baili Jinxiu had no choice but to take the blame.
However, Baili Jinxiu had actually used his medical skills, something that she completely didn't understand to explain this matter. The Imperial Concubine felt like a tiger meeting a hedgehog.
"Then what you said is not evidence. After all, the Old Master Wen also said that no one has ever tried it before, right? "
The empress dowager suddenly opened her mouth, but immediately blocked Baili Jinxiu's path.
"Esteemed empress dowager, you can find someone who can drink as much as you want to." If that person dies on the spot, I will repay him with my life. What does Noble Consort think? "
Baili Jinxiu didn't expect the empress dowager, who had been silent all this time, to be so biased the moment she opened her mouth.
She had said so much, and it was only natural that she had her previous arguments. However, those theories were all proven by the experiments of modern science. If no one had done it like this in ancient times, then it would be very difficult to find a person to experiment with it.
The empress dowager laughed softly, her eyes closed in a somewhat affectionate manner as she smiled. However, her voice was not angry, but it carried the domineering aura of an empress dowager.
"Princess An, everyone in this palace is also a life. Could it be that he could do whatever he wanted? Which one of you is willing to listen to Princess An? "
As soon as these words were spoken, all the palace maids kneeled down and replied fearfully, "This servant doesn't dare."
When the Imperial Concubine saw Baili Jinxiu waving his flag and shouting but no one daring to agree, she immediately felt comfortable in her heart.
No one dared to test Baili Jinxiu's words, because Baili Jinxiu's words were the same as the empress dowager's.
Baili Jinxiu's gaze darkened. Was the empress dowager planning to help the imperial concubine and pin this crime on him?
"Empress Dowager, this subject is willing to give the rice wine garlic that Princess An said a try."
Wen Hechu who was kneeling on the ground spoke out, while Old Master Wen who was kneeling at the side had a change in expression.
"He Chu, don't be rude. You don't have the right to speak in front of the empress dowager. " How could the Old Master Wen not know what his own grandson was thinking?
No matter how good Baili Jinxiu was, she had already become a Princess An.
In that case, the best thing for the Wen family to do was to obtain the benefits and stay in their own seats.
With the medical skills of the Wen family, whether it was the Prince An or the Sixth Prince, they would never abandon the Wen family.
But if Wen Hechu were to participate in this, then it would mean that the Wen Mansion was the antithesis of anyone.
"Grandfather, this recipe is indeed strange. Back then, it was my grandson and Princess An who went to the Mo Mansion to diagnose Second Master Mo. Since something has happened, this grandson will also be held accountable. "
Of course, Wen Hechu knew what the empress dowager's words were. He had said them to warn the people in the room not to listen to Baili Jinxiu.
However, if no one could verify this for Baili Jinxiu, then wouldn't Baili Jinxiu lose the title of being a doctor who harmed others?
Wen Hechu could still clearly remember the first time he saw Baili Jinxiu treating that little beggar on the street;
If Baili Jinxiu were to suffer from the injustice caused by not having someone to test his medicine, a trace of doting would flash past his eyes.
However, he had quickly covered up his true attitude towards Baili Jinxiu with calm, and only firmly stated his thoughts.
"Imperial Physician Wen, are you sure you want to test the poison on your own for Princess An?" Of course, the empress dowager knew that the Imperial Physician Wen, the grandson of the Imperial Physician Wen, was the future successor of the Wen Mansion.
However, the empress dowager could not remember when Wen Hechu was such a warm-hearted person.
The imperial concubine looked at the empress dowager's perplexed expression and whispered into her ear, "Imperial Physician Wen and that young master from Jiang Mansion are best friends.
She also helped Baili Jinxiu multiple times. Empress Dowager, don't easily trust them. Baili Jinxiu was the most cunning person, and at the bottom of his heart, he was so vicious that he killed his second brother. You have to avenge your brother. "
When the empress dowager heard the two words "Jiang Mansion", her closed eyes trembled slightly. Baili Jinxiu didn't know what the imperial concubine and the empress dowager had said, but when he looked at the empress dowager falling silent again, he remained silent.
"If the empress dowager feels that it's inappropriate, then this king can test the poison on himself." Gong Xiaoxuan looked at the silent state of the palace and said coldly.
Surprise flashed in Imperial Concubine's eyes. Just as she was about to speak up and say yes, she heard the empress dowager raise her voice and shout.
"Nonsense." You are a Prince of a nation, how can you take such a risk because of such a small matter? Alright, since this Imperial Physician Wen wants to test for poison, let this Imperial Physician Wen do it. "
The empress dowager didn't even think before she rejected Gong Xiaoxuan's suggestion. The imperial concubine unwillingly said, "Prince An and Princess An have deep feelings for each other. Since Prince An wants to use this matter to confess to the wangfei, empress dowager, why don't you .."
"You're not talking? No one treats you like a mute."
The empress dowager's voice suddenly grew cold as she tossed the imperial concubine's hand off her own. Although it was this official's eyes, it caused the imperial concubine to tremble in fear.
She hastily stood up from the empress dowager's side, but didn't dare speak or provoke her anymore. The mother and son duo merely stood beside Gong Xiaoche in dissatisfaction as they glared at Baili Jinxiu and Gong Xiaoxuan who were standing opposite of them.
When Wen Hechu heard the empress dowager's words, he immediately walked up to his. Baili Jinxiu watched as Gentle Eating picked up the cup of yellow rice wine that the eunuch brought over without hesitation, and without even using a cup, he immediately raised his head and started gulping down the wine.
His heart felt warm and painful. However, she was absolutely confident.
He wouldn't let anything happen to Wen Hechu, and he wouldn't let himself, Gong Xiaoxuan, and even the entire Prince An Palace become the target of public criticism.
He would wash his face clean this time.
When Wen Hechu started to drink the yellow wine, the house started to exude a wine aroma. Everyone's eyes were staring at Wen Hechu, they never expected that the gentle Imperial Physician Wen would actually be so bold with his wine.
One catty of yellow wine was not a lot, so Wen Hechu gulped down all the wine in a while.
