"You don't understand it, yet you dare fool around? His Majesty is worth ten thousand pieces of gold. How could you use him as a subject for your experiments, you wretch?"
"Guards, drag this wretch out and execute her!"
Consort Wan had never imagined things would develop to this point. When she heard that the Empress Dowager wanted her executed, she finally panicked and clung tightly to the Emperor's sleeve:
"No, Brother Li, Your Majesty, I never meant to harm you. I truly didn't know."
"Besides, I specifically asked Imperial Physician Wang to examine it yesterday. He said there was no problem, so I went ahead. If you don't believe me, Your Majesty, you can summon Imperial Physician Wang and ask him."
Jin Moli's gaze turned sinister as he pried her hand away.
He glanced at Qi Kun.
Qi Kun understood and quickly went to the Imperial Hospital to bring Imperial Physician Wang, along with the other two physicians on duty, over.
After learning the full story, Imperial Physician Wang did not panic.
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Consort Wan did indeed come to ask about it yesterday. However, this old servant had already reminded her that His Majesty was in excellent health and that she should not administer medicine to him on a whim."
"Furthermore, when she left, I gave Consort Wan a list of contraindications. It listed several forbidden medicinal-food combinations, including one stating that Atractylodes must not be eaten together with herring or sparrow meat."
"At the time, Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Wen were also present at the Imperial Hospital. Your Majesty may ask either of them."
After calmly finishing, Imperial Physician Wang presented a long list as well.
"This is the detailed list of contraindications. Please, Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, examine it."
