20 - Create poison

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Guo Wei knelt.

"Rise. So..?" Zhang Wei asked impatiently.

"Today, Consort Li on his own noticed that someone set their eyes on him. It was like the other party intentionally makes himself noticeable by Consort Li." Guo Wei reported.

"Is he alright?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Consort Li is fine. It surprised me that Consort Li calmly handle it. Not restless, not anxious. He said he just feels a little uncomfortable when someone keeps watching his every move."

Zhang Wei's lips curved. 'As expected of my love.'

"Did you see their face?"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. We didn't see it. The other person hid in the dark. We can only notice their shadows."

"Hmn. It's okay. We will wait some more. Just be more alert and never leave him alone even when he forces you to."

Guo Wei bows and then he leaves.

When Wu Zhang Wei is alone in the study room, he calls, "Wei Min."

In a flash, a black figure appears in front of him. "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Find out who is the one that sends those people to stalk my consort. It can be guessed that it is one of the women but I need to know the EXACT identity. And look after Xiu Ying. Make sure no one notices you."

Wei Min bows then poof! Disappear.

.....

Xiu Ying cooped up inside the pharmacy from morning until night. He won't leave the pharmacy, not until Jing Yi dragged him.

Lately, Xiu Ying was busy with his research. Which is to create.....poison.

Other physicians almost got a heart attack when Xiu Ying told them that he was trying to create poisons.

"M- my lady...wh- why are you making a poison?! I- if one day something bad occurred, they might accuse you!" Chief of physician said worriedly.

"Chief, don't you know, in order to have a body that can resist a poison, the emperor will consume small amounts of poison? In that way, His Majesty's body will recognize the poison if he accidentally consumes it in the future and his body won't recognize the poison as a foreign thing. Thus, he could be saved."

The chief frowns, "Then, what it got to do with the poison you're trying to create? My- my lady! Don't tell me, you want to drink it?!"

Xiu Ying squinted and raised his eyebrows, "Calm down Chief. I'm not that crazy to try all these poisons."

"T- then?"

"To get rid of a strong toxin, we need to have a stronger toxin as having the power of subduing each other, may also have a curative effect. For example, if we have poison from snakes, we should use poison from centipede to counteract the symptoms. When the fatal effect has calmed, we can use herbs to remove remaining toxins and waste inside the body."

All the physicians gaped. 'What a genius!'

Actually, Xiu Ying thought of the concept as a vaccine in the future. The vaccine was made using the viruses themselves by weakening or killing it but it was impossible for Xiu Ying to create a vaccine with the lack of equipment and raw materials. That's why he can only think of this.

Besides, he also created a special antidote. Back in his old life, Xiu Ying read a book that talked about a universal antidote that could counter any poison that was created during ancient Rome time. The ingredients were really hard to find but as he's in royal pharmacy, there's nothing his hands couldn't lay on. If they didn't have it, just order.
