Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 211 The Witness Is Here

"Can I ask the imperial physician a few questions?" Shen Muyin asked Dong Gong with a smile.

"Ask." Qin Chuyan was very straightforward.

When the imperial physician saw Shen Muyin, his attitude was respectful and he did not show any neglect.

It's not just because of the ambiguity between Shen Muyin and the Eastern Palace, but also because of Shen Muyin's medical skills, which can make Princess Pingxi's condition better, which is enough for them to admire him.

After all, they have never succeeded in all these years.

They had seen Shen Muyin's prescription and found it was a combination they had never expected, it was truly unique.

So they knew very well that Shen Muyin was not as simple as she seemed. Even if Shen Muyin wanted to go to the Imperial Hospital to take charge of everything, these imperial doctors in the palace would not dare to have any objections.

After all, I am not as skilled as others.

So now that Shen Muyin wanted to ask himself, the imperial physician's attitude was naturally very good.

"Miss Shen, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask." The imperial physician responded.

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded, very politely, "I want to know what kind of poison my grandmother was poisoned with. My lord and the coroner must know this." Shen Muyin continued.

Since it’s an autopsy, of course we’ll know.

But the people of the Shen family would not think about these things. They just wanted to put themselves under house arrest in the Shen Mansion, and it would be enough to find a charge of poisoning.

After Shen Muyin raised this question, the expressions of the people in the Shen family also changed slightly.

The imperial physician was very calm: "Of course I know. It was caused by the pecans. All the toxins invaded the bone marrow. After the autopsy, the old lady's bones had changed color. The bones of people who died of normal causes are white. But the old lady's bones are gray."

In the State of Yan, pecans are an extremely cold poison.

Although this toxin is named after a fruit, it is not a plant, but is extracted from extremely cold creatures.

It is impossible to cause poisoning by pecans alone. It must be combined with drugs to enter the bone marrow and make people completely out of control.

"And I've also read Miss Shen's prescription, and it happens to contain an extremely cold medicine like pecans." The imperial physician did not hide anything.

"Do you have anything to say now?" Compared with Concubine Liu, Shen Changsheng seemed much calmer and was questioning Shen Muyin.

Even Donggong looked at Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin smiled and remained calm: "This is the prescription I prescribed. I will not deny it. As for why I put pecans in it, it is because my grandmother's body was already poisoned. Pecans are a double-edged sword. It can be fatal but can also detoxify. So this is fighting poison with poison."

"What nonsense." Shen Changsheng became excited.

Shen Muyin ignored Shen Changsheng the entire time and continued to look at the imperial physician with a straight face: "Sir, I want to ask, under what circumstances can the toxin of the pecan fruit be stimulated to the maximum?"

The imperial physician explained: "For example, eating foods that cause cold, such as crabs and watermelons. But the most severe is crabs."

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded. "So, in this case, is it possible that there is nothing wrong with my prescription, but someone saw through the pecan fruit in the prescription and paired it with cold-causing food, and then induced poisoning in my grandmother?"

Shen Muyin said something that no one had thought of before.

"Impossible." Shen Changsheng quickly denied, "How could this be possible? Besides, my mother's food is processed separately. How could she give me these when she knew there was something wrong? Besides, my mother never likes to eat crabs. She won't touch them when she sees them. The Shen family never buys these."

Shen Changsheng spoke so urgently that it seemed as if he wanted to veto these things as soon as possible.

This statement is just an attempt to cover up one's own mistake.

Shen Muyin had thought about it before, but in that situation, Shen Muyin would not speak.

The people in the Shen residence clearly wanted her to be placed under house arrest, and if she said anything more, the evidence would be destroyed.

So Shen Muyin went with the flow at that time in order to lower the Shen family's vigilance. Now that Dong Gong is here, Shen Muyin no longer needs to be so low-key.

"Father, why are you so anxious?" Shen Muyin looked at Shen Changsheng indifferently, without any emotion in his eyes.

Shen Changsheng was pushed back by Shen Muyin and stood there awkwardly.

The imperial physician nodded and said, "Miss Shen's statement is valid, but the premise is that someone can prove that the old lady has indeed eaten crabs. Otherwise, the coldness of the pecans in Miss Shen's prescription is hard to say based on the old lady's current condition."

The imperial physician didn't say anything definite, but he was reminding Shen Muyin not to dig a hole for himself.

Shen Muyin was calm and composed. This time, she looked towards the East Palace and said, "Your Highness, if I can prove it, then I am innocent."

Shen Muyin said slowly, "The Imperial Physician also said that pecans are also used to fight poison with poison. I put the medicine here to help Grandmother detoxify. If you want to find it, you have to find all the prescriptions that Grandmother had before. It has been confirmed that Grandmother was poisoned before, and I don't need to say more about this. Is this the truth?"

Compared to how he was easily taken away by Shen Changsheng at the beginning, Shen Muyin’s words are now certain.

"That's the truth." Donggong was very calm.

"Hehe, Shen Muyin, mother never eats these." Shen Changsheng still insisted.

Shen Muyin nodded and looked at Shen Changsheng: "I will naturally find evidence for my father."

Then Shen Muyin didn't say anything, just looked at Dong Jin on the side and said, "Please bring the witness up."

Dong Jin knew of course, and nodded immediately: "Okay."

Then Dong Jin turned around, and Butler Wang stood there calmly because Xiao Qin'er was outside.

Shen Muyin stood there calmly, waiting patiently. No one in the room spoke.

Nanny Li had also been brought out. In this situation, Nanny Li was trembling all over and was extremely nervous.

Because she couldn't understand the current situation, Nanny Li didn't dare to say anything.

The crabs mentioned earlier made Nanny Li feel very uncomfortable. She never expected that someone would think of this.

But Nanny Li calmly reviewed the situation in her mind. This kind of thing would never happen. She handled everything cleanly.

The only person who did something was Xiao Qin'er, who was a mute and could not read, which meant there was no witness.

Thinking of this, Nanny Li gradually calmed down.

Soon, Nanny Li stood there calmly and motionlessly.

"Miss, I have brought the person here." Dong Jin brought Xiao Qin'er to the scene and spoke quietly.

When Nanny Li saw Xiao Qin'er, her face changed immediately. She never thought that Shen Muyin would find Xiao Qin'er.

But before Nanny Li could speak, Shen Muyin looked at Xiao Qin'er gently: "Xiao Qin'er, don't be afraid, just answer whatever I ask, okay?"
