The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 671: Seeing Snakes in Cups

The Emperor looked at Empress Zheng, "It’s still my Empress who is most virtuous, thanks to you for finding Doctor Gu, now I can finally sleep."

Empress Zheng gently said, "I only hate that I cannot take on the Emperor’s suffering in your place." As she spoke, she stood up to help the Emperor loosen his clothes.

The next day, there were indeed rewards sent to the Duke Mansion from the palace.

The Emperor gifted a bracelet of tourmaline beads and a string of pearl walking beads.

The pearls on the walking beads were uniformly sized and colored, and the few pearls dangling at the bottom were all the size of lotus seeds; this string of beads was quite valuable.

The tourmaline bracelet was pink, threaded with two beads of lapis lazuli, the colors very pretty.

Yun Jiao wore it on her wrist, then went to the workshop, and didn’t go to Renxin Hall until it was nearly lunchtime.

Upon entering, she saw a young man looking like a servant waiting in the shop, and Gu Yuheng raised his voice, "This fellow here has been waiting for you for quite a while."

The servant came forward to salute and handed over a card, Yun Jiao opened it to take a look, it was an invitation from the Marquis Mansion, inviting Yun Jiao to treat Marquis Xuanping.

Yun Jiao also admired these aristocratic families, she had just stopped the Emperor’s toothache last night, and today these families already knew.

She took Big Girl along with Lei Ying and Lei Xia to the Marquis Mansion.

Marquis Xuanping was probably in his forties, sitting in the hall, seeing Yun Jiao enter, he quickly got up to welcome her.

Yun Jiao paid her respects, and carefully scrutinized Marquis Xuanping, he was thin-cheeked and had a furrowed brow. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Yun Jiao first asked, "I wonder what ailment the Marquis has?"

Marquis Xuanping sat with Yun Jiao, master and guest, then said, "To be honest with Doctor Gu, this matter is somewhat complex. Half a month ago, I had an appointment with friends in a garden for a drink."

"Friends had set the table under a tree, using a few jade cups to hold the wine."

"The jade cups had natural stone patterns, after drinking a few cups, I was slightly intoxicated, picked up the cup intending to drink more, I noticed that there seemed to be a worm at the bottom of the cup."

"But at that time I was somewhat drunk, and thought maybe I was seeing things, it was just the jade cup’s pattern, so I didn’t bother with it and drank the wine."

"After a while, I inadvertently looked up and saw thin worms crawling on the tree above my head."

"Then I knew, surely I had drunk a worm into my stomach."

"Since that day, I often felt discomfort in my chest and abdomen, the worm probably wasn’t dead, it was crawling around inside me."

"For this half month, this worm has tormented me, I can’t eat well, can’t sleep well."

Yun Jiao upon hearing, recalled the story of ’snake in the wine cup’.

Marquis Xuanping’s situation should be similar to this story.

Logically speaking, worms from the tree do not have suitable living space within the human body; even if swallowed it is no big deal, just some protein.

However, worms could carry bacteria, possibly causing diarrhea.

Yun Jiao wasn’t in a hurry to take the pulse, asked, "How thick and long was the worm? What color?"

Marquis Xuanping gestured with his fingers, "About half an inch long, very thin." He pointed to the tassel under his Jade Pendant, "Just a bit thicker than this,"

Yun Jiao asked again, "After drinking the wine, did you have diarrhea?"

Marquis Xuanping thought for a moment, "It seems not."

Yun Jiao knew in her heart, it was likely just a figment of Marquis Xuanping’s imagination.

She reached out to take his pulse and quickly found that Marquis Xuanping had some emotional knots, probably caused by this incident.
