Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 539

Xia Huanyu couldn't help but frown. "Chestnut cakes are not poisoned, and tea cups are not poisoned. Tell me, how did the little prince get poisoned?"

Yun Shang kept her eyes fixed on Xia Yunxi. She didn't walk to the bed until the men kept asking and answering the questions.

"Shang'er." Suddenly, Luo Qingyan's voice came from behind. Yun Shang turned her head and saw the disapproval in Luo Qingyan's eyes. Yun Shang gave him a smile, reassuring him. Then she turned around to look at Xia Huanyu. "I have learnt some medicine before, your majesty. May I have a look at his condition?"

The imperial physicians were a bit hesitant and looked up at Xia Huanyu. After a while of silence, Xia Huanyu nodded his head and said, "it's up to you."

The empress was about to speak, but she held back what she wanted to say when she heard what he said.

Yun Shang took Xia Yunxi pulse, and felt a slight heat in his forehead. Yun Shang opened his mouth looked at the piles of moss under his tongue. She then asked in a low voice after a while, "did the little prince have a headache and diarrhea before?"

The maids standing by the side replied in a hurry, "yes. He had a headache at first and had no strength. Then he felt pain in his stomach and passed out."

Yun Shang listened carefully and nodded. She turned to the three imperial physicians and said, "In my opinion, the little prince was indeed poisoned. But it wasn't someone else who poisoned him with a drug. It was food poison."

"Food poisoning?" Everyone was surprised at Yun Shang's unusual response. Both Xia Huanyu and the empress looked at her. An imperial physician standing beside them said, "it's just that the little prince never had a case of food poisoning with chestnuts."

Yun Shang nodded her head, "chestnut may not cause food poisoning, but I know that there is something similar to chestnut. It tastes a bit different, and people can't tell if it is from a kid. Maybe the kid was poisoned by the food, and his symptoms are similar to that of boy."

"What is it?" The empress asked in a hurry.

"It's a kind of stuff called hazel." Yun Shang looked at the Xia Yunxi on the bed, and let out a sigh softly, "It is a kind of nut growing in the mountain forest, and many people sell it as a commodity. The hazel was not bad for health as well. It was good for health to eat some occasionally. However, there were also some people who ate some hazels, resulting in food poisoning, which varied from person to person."

An imperial physician in blue nodded his head after hearing her words, "I've read the book about the hazel her highness mentioned, but I can't remember what the hazel looked like."
