The female herbalist Qingqing lowered her head. Her facial features were not particularly outstanding, but she was young and her skin fair. She looked refreshing and delicate like a trickling creek. She had an air of tranquility.
Empress Liu's gaze turned sharp. "Spit it out."
Qingqing first curtsied to Empress Liu while keeping her head lowered. Afterwards, she explained, "Your Majesty the Empress, there is something strange about the princess's injuries. Someone has administered a poison that amplifies one's pain by twenty times no matter what kind of medicine is applied. This is why the princess has been feeling intense pain the entire time."
"But this kind of poison only affects one's pain. It will dissipate on its own in three days."
Speaking of which, this poison was actually not that terrifying.
She found it exceptionally strange. This poison could not cause any substantial harm at all.
