Chapter 62 -62: Feng Bailing’s Medicine (Part 2)
The news of the Empress Dowager’s vomiting and diarrhea had just spread. Inside Ciyuan Palace, everyone reacted differently.
Emperor Yongye’s face turned livid, but before he could erupt in anger, Noble Princess Consort Xiao shouted.
“Feng Bailing, what else do you have to say for yourself? You plotted against the Empress Dowager, an act deserving of death! Guards, drag her out.”
Nalan Yan’er’s face turned even paler.
Ah Wu took the medicine too.
“Noble Princess Consort Xiao, the Emperor hasn’t said a word yet, what are you so anxious about?”
Dongfang Lianhua remained composed, confident in her daughter.
“To report to the Emperor, after taking this medicine, vomiting and diarrhea are indeed the expected reactions, as the medicine is an anti-parasitic medicine.”
Feng Bailing appeared nonchalant, as if she had anticipated this; she was somewhat surprised, however, that Dugu Wu showed no reaction at all.
Could this guy be some kind of monster?
After downing a large bowl of medicine, he’s totally fine?
Feng Bailing stole a glance at Dugu Wu.
They had the same medicine, and Dugu Wu had his share too; this guy looked as if nothing had happened, still there leisurely drinking tea?
“Princess Feng, if it’s a normal reaction, why did Prince Wu not react at all?”
Nalan Yan’er, who considered herself erudite and knowledgeable about pharmacology and pathology, had never heard of any anti-parasitic medicine.
“I have been taking all kinds of medicines since I was a child and have developed a resistance to ordinary ones,” Prince Wu casually replied, his heterochromatic eyes hardening as his hand unconsciously fell to his knee, his expression growing even more indifferent.
A thought struck Feng Bailing.
Gong Zhu had once said that poison and Pure Yang Qi have similar effects, capable of suppressing it within the body.
As long as it didn’t reach a certain level, it wouldn’t affect one’s health.
Could it be that Dugu Wu has been poisoned so often that each time, he suppressed the poison in his body? Is it because the accumulation of toxins became excessive that his right knee became necrotic?
Has he been poisoned since childhood?
Who would do such a thing, a close relative or someone else?
Somewhere in Feng Bailing’s heart, something felt off.
The world says that Dugu Wu, the Ninth Prince, is cold-blooded and heartless, but if no one loved him, how could he be affectionate towards anyone?
“What anti-parasitic medicine? The Empress Dowager was fine, so how could there be parasites in her body?”
“The Empress Dowager is weak; vomiting and diarrhea at this time are harmful to her health.”
“In my opinion, we should quickly nourish the Empress Dowager.”
The Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Hospital shook their heads one after another.
The Imperial Physicians each gave their opinion, and Emperor Yongye’s expression fluctuated unpredictably.
“Princess Shengping, make yourself clear, how could there be parasites in the Empress Dowager’s body? If you fail to explain this clearly, not only will you be executed today, but the Princess’ Mansion will be implicated as well.”
“To report to the Emperor, there indeed are parasites within the Empress Dowager’s body, but they are not ordinary parasites, they are parasitic worms. If I haven’t calculated wrong, they should have come from that portion of sashimi at the Spring Banquet that day.”
Feng Bailing explained composedly.
That day at the Spring Banquet, Feng Bailing had noticed a dish, it was sashimi sliced as thin as paper.
Great Chu is situated at the crossroads of north and south, covering a vast territory that includes mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas.
In the coastal towns to the south of Great Chu, there is a custom of eating sashimi.
The Empress Dowager’s maternal family is in the south, but since marrying into the Imperial Palace, she had not had sashimi for many years.
This portion of sashimi was specially caught by Nalan Yan’er from the south to please the Empress Dowager. Accompanied by sauce, it was incredibly delicious.
When it was presented to the Empress Dowager, because it was a delicacy, only a few select tables had this dish. The Empress Dowager couldn’t stop singing its praises and ate a little more of it.
Feng Bailing also noticed the plate of sashimi; she knew that raw food could easily lead to parasitic infections, and valuing her life, although she sat at the Empress Dowager’s table, she did not touch it with her chopsticks at all.
That day, when Li Qing came to ask for medicine, Feng Bailing had already guessed that it could only be the Emperor or the Empress Dowager who would make Li Qing seek out medicine voluntarily. After hearing the symptoms described by Li Qing, Feng Bailing was certain that it was the Empress Dowager who had fallen ill!
The Empress Dowager has always looked upon the Princess’ Mansion favorably, and she herself, as the Commandery Princess, only managed to give the medicine because of the Empress Dowager’s sake, so she took the risk.
Upon hearing about parasites, all the Imperial Physicians were completely perplexed.
Nalan Yan’er’s eyes reddened as she knelt down.
“Princess Shengping, if you have a prejudice against me, you can just say it. How can you slander me like this? Not only the Empress Dowager ate the sashimi, but also it is a common practice to eat sashimi in the south, and nobody has ever said it caused worms in their stomach.”
“Exactly! Emperor, you must not listen to Feng Bailing’s nonsense. I also ate that sashimi and haven’t had a single issue.”
Noble Princess Consort Xiao was full of disbelief.
“Sashimi made from deep-sea fish is unlikely to harbor parasites. But if it’s made from freshwater fish, that’s a different story. May I ask the Crown Princess Consort, the sashimi you brought back from the south is made from what kind of fish?”
Feng Bailing remained calm and composed in the face of the joint confrontation from Nalan Yan’er and Noble Princess Consort Xiao.
Nalan Yan’er was speechless.
She didn’t know anything about deep-sea fish versus fresh-water fish.
Moreover, that fish was given to her by that person to present to the Empress Dowager.
Could it be that person had known all along… Nalan Yan’er was struck with fear and trepidation.
Her gaze flickered as she looked towards Dugu Wu.
How she wished that at this moment, Ah Wu could step in to clarify things for her.
Nalan Yan’er looked towards Dugu Wu, but when she saw him, her heart skipped a beat.
Dugu Wu hadn’t noticed her plea for help.
He stood there, looking at Feng Bailing, his expression contemplative.
Looking again at Feng Bailing, who despite being an unattractive woman, was full of confidence when she spoke. She seemed to have a magnetic charm that attracted others.
Everyone present, even the blind Dongfang Mosheng, was captivated by her words.
Inside Nalan Yan’er, anger and jealousy were growing wildly.
Never in her life had she been overshadowed by someone.
Yet this Feng Bailing, time and again!

“Different people have different reactions to parasites. In recent days, the Imperial Physicians have been taking turns nourishing the Empress Dowager. The parasites inside her will only become more active. Right now, the Empress Dowager should reduce her food intake and continue taking medicine daily. In about two to three days, the parasites should be completely cleansed. Additionally, those who have eaten sashimi these past few days would do well to also take anti-parasitic medicine; otherwise, once the eggs hatch further and affect the liver and gallbladder, even deities would struggle to save them.”
Feng Bailing spoke with undeniable assurance.
“Emperor, you must not trust the word of Princess Feng alone.”
“The Empress Dowager is frail and needs nourishment.
“We have never heard of such parasites.”
Sneering—
The Imperial Physicians sounded like a chorus of strangled roosters as they were met with a cold sneer.
A man’s slender fingers gently tapped on his knee.
“I remember, the Imperial Physicians also said no medicine could cure my leg and that I would never stand up again for the rest of my life.”
He exerted pressure with his left leg, separated himself from the crutch, and his body leaned slightly forward as he took a step.
A hand reached out to steady him.
That hand was soft and warm.
Dugu Wu’s eyes darkened, and he turned his head to see a pair of clear, lustrous eyes.
“Yet now, I can stand and even walk. A bunch of incompetent doctors, if you keep wagging your tongues, I’ll pull out your tongues.”
Dugu Wu did not mince his words as he spoke, leaning half of his body on Feng Bailing.
