Chapter 83: Toxin
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? You and I are siblings."
Gan Yanling smiled, and Gan Luo, listening to what Gan Yanling said, naturally felt at that moment that there was a conspiracy at play.
Moreover, Gan Luo is not a fool. Why would Gan Yanling kindly send him snow lotus?
Looking back on everything that happened before.
I just felt there was something fishy going on.
Gan Luo and Gan Yanling exchanged a few words of frugality.
Gan Yanling returned to the palace immediately, saying that he still had memorials to review.
After Gan Yanling left.
Lin Fengmian walked up to Gan Luo and carefully examined the snow lotus.
Just as Gan Luo was about to touch the snow lotus, Lin Fengmian reached out and touched it first.
Gan Luo was unaware of Lin Fengmian's intentions.
"Your Highness, the snow lotus is non-toxic."
Upon hearing this, Gan Luo smiled faintly.
He picked up his folding fan and gently tapped Lin Fengmian's nose.
"If the snow lotus is poisonous, wouldn't you have died from the poison if you had touched it just now? How could you risk your life to test the poison?"
"Your Highness, I feel that even if I were to die, it would not matter. What is important is that Your Highness lives well."
Upon hearing Lin Fengmian's words, Gan Luo felt for a moment that Lin Fengmian seemed like a fool.
Since this snow lotus is non-toxic.
Is this emperor really that kind-hearted?
I recall the incident some time ago when the emperor poisoned Gan Luo.
Gan Luo had always been resentful about this, so he was naturally very careful about the gifts the emperor gave him.
Look at this snow lotus.
In Gan Luo's mind, snow lotus was indeed a highly nourishing food.
If Gan Luo were to stew and eat this snow lotus now, his health would naturally improve very quickly.
The divine physician happened to arrive beside Gan Luo, intending to administer acupuncture to him.
But by sheer coincidence, they saw the snow lotus beside Gan Luo.
The divine physician frowned, walked up to the snow lotus, picked it up and examined it carefully, then smelled it. Gan Luo was puzzled by the divine physician's actions.
"Your Highness, may I ask you where you obtained this snow lotus?"
"This was just a gift from His Majesty to me. Is there anything wrong with this snow lotus?"
The divine doctor shook his head, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the snow lotus.
"Your Majesty, the snow lotus will probably have to be stored for a while before it can be eaten."
Gan Luo was just about to have Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo take the snow lotus to the small kitchen to stew when the divine doctor told him that it would be a while before he could eat it.
"Why is that? I don't quite understand."
"Your Majesty is unaware that snow lotus grows in the snow-capped mountains and is filled with cold energy. Your Highness has already been caught in the rain and is already feeling cold inside. Moreover, a woman's body is naturally more delicate. If you were to eat the snow lotus, it could leave you with some aftereffects."
The divine physician then told Gan Luo that the snow lotus contained some toxins, and these toxins needed to be carefully processed before it could be used.
Gan Luo was filled with questions, never expecting that the snow lotus contained toxins.
Seeing Gan Luo remain silent, the divine physician was momentarily bewildered.
As they were talking, the divine physician fell silent, afraid that staying any longer would displease Gan Luo.
“You are free to continue speaking here; there is no need to hide anything.”
Seeing that the divine physician was just standing there without saying a word, Gan Luo couldn't help but remind him.
Did His Majesty not inform Your Highness just now?
Gan Luo smiled faintly: "Perhaps even His Majesty is unaware that this snow lotus contains toxins."
Then the secret guards that Gan Luo had sent out returned.
Gan Luo glanced at the people around him and ordered them all to leave.
In the end, only Gan Luo, Lin Fengmian, and the secret guards remained here.
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo gaze at the snow lotus in their hands.
The two of them started complaining about Gan Yanling.
"I don't know why, but I now feel that His Majesty did it on purpose."
"Yeah, yeah, I share the same thoughts as you."
The miracle doctor happened to overhear the two of them talking in a low voice.
I couldn't help but ask casually.
"Is His Majesty and Princess not on good terms?"
Upon hearing the divine doctor's words, Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo hurriedly offered their explanation.
"Great, how could it not be good?"
The divine physician had already seen through the clues, but these were all royal matters and had little to do with him.
"By the way, Divine Doctor, can I ask you something? How exactly should this snow lotus be processed before it can be used? After all, I read in a book before that snow lotus is a highly nourishing substance."
The divine doctor then told Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo to follow him to the small kitchen.
Upon hearing this, Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo followed the divine physician.
Everyone arrived at the small kitchen, where the divine doctor broke the snow lotus in half.
Unexpectedly, this snow lotus actually emits a faint chill.
Both Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo could clearly sense it.
Then the snow lotus was placed in cold water, which surprisingly formed a thin layer of ice.
This confirms what the divine physician said: the snow lotus contains a very deep level of coldness.
"Thanks to you, Divine Physician. If it weren't for you, His Highness would have had unimaginable consequences if he had eaten this snow lotus."
The physician then prepared some potent medicinal herbs there.
All these medicinal herbs were soaked together with the snow lotus.
After working for about two hours, they finally removed the cold air from the snow lotus.
At this moment, the divine doctor was drenched in sweat. He then took the snow lotus and put it in the sun to dry.
"This snow lotus can only be used after it has been dried."
On the other side, Gan Luo lay on the soft couch, his eyes slightly closed, asking a question.
"how."
"What the world does not know is that His Majesty had already gone to find the snow lotus. After finding the snow lotus, he kept it in the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden."
Upon hearing this, Gan Luo then questioned the guard in front of him.
"then?"
"Your Highness is unaware of the fact that His Majesty has long wanted to exchange the Snow Lotus with you. Moreover, His Majesty previously consulted the most respected physician in the Imperial Medical Academy to inquire about its efficacy and potential harms."
Upon hearing this, Gan Luo suddenly understood. He gestured to his guards that they didn't need to say anything more, as he already knew.
"Heh, does my good brother really think I'm so stupid that I don't know anything?"
The fact that there was a second time after the first one was truly ironic to Gan Luo.
Gan Luo made a decision.
Since the emperor so wanted to see Gan Luo eat snow lotus, then Gan Luo would grant the emperor's wish.
Then Gan Luo invited the divine physician over, and after several inquiries, he discovered that the divine physician had removed the cold nature of the snow.
"Your Highness is unaware that this snow lotus can be eaten tomorrow after just one day."
Gan Luo looked at the divine physician and expressed his gratitude to him.
The divine physician then informed Gan Luo.
"It is all what I should do."
