Chapter 41: Interrogation "Change?" Eunuch Liu thought about it, and suddenly remembered, and said in surprise, "Ah! That time, His Majesty changed the strengthening soup!" "What? Father changed the strengthening soup? Why did he change it? How come I didn't know about this?" Zhao Lin said. "That time, Lord Sun said that he had found a miraculous recipe for strengthening the body and wanted to give it to Your Majesty. He also asked all the imperial doctors in the palace to come out and identify it, and several ministers even tried it for a while." said Eunuch Liu. “How do they feel after drinking it?” "They all said that they are indeed feeling better physically and in better spirits!" replied Eunuch Liu. "No other problems occurred?" "Not at all. That soup is really good for the body." Zhao Lin asked the imperial physician Zhu Lianzhi beside him: "Have you also examined this soup? Is there any problem?" "Your Highness, I have verified that this soup is indeed good for the body." Zhu Lian knew.
"Have you ever tasted the soup His Majesty used before? Yin Ruchen asked Zhu Lianzhi." "No, the soup was carefully prepared by Feng, the imperial physician, using a secret family recipe. Feng's medical skills were exceptionally good, and he was an absolutely trustworthy person. His Majesty was sick many times, and he was able to cure it when other imperial physicians were helpless. There was no need for us to taste the soup he prepared. Later, he suddenly retired and returned home, leaving behind a recipe, which can no longer be found. Although the recipe was lost at the time, Feng, the imperial physician, had prepared many doses of the herbs needed to make the strengthening soup before he retired, which was enough to last for a long time. His Majesty continued to take Feng's strengthening soup, and it lasted for a long time. Time, there has never been any problem. The number of prepared medicinal materials is getting less and less every day. Not long ago, Lord Sun happened to get a special prescription. At that time, many people were not sure about Lord Sun's special prescription, so they asked for identification before giving it to Your Majesty. During the identification period, Your Majesty still used Feng Yuyi's body-strengthening soup, until one day Feng Yuyi ran out of medicinal materials, and we have identified Lord Sun's special prescription for a period of time and confirmed that it is safe. From that day on, Your Majesty began to use the prescription obtained by Lord Sun, and has been using it until today. "Zhu Lianzhi said. "Lord Sun? Sun Guye?" Zhao Lin asked. "Exactly." "How did the miraculous prescription left by Imperial Physician Feng get lost?" Zhao Lin already felt something was very strange and asked. "This... this... I dare not say anything nonsense..." "Tell me what you know!" "This……" "Don't hesitate, I'm asking you questions, just tell me the truth!" Zhao Lin said anxiously. "Your Highness, this..." "You don't want to say it, right? Someone come here..." Zhao Lin said. "Oh... please show mercy, Your Highness... I am telling you the truth... that... the recipe for the strengthening soup was given to Lord Xing by Imperial Physician Feng before he left..." "Which Lord Xing?" "Lord Xing Neng." "Oh, and then what?" Zhao Lin asked. "Lord Xing couldn't find the prescription, and said he would find a way to solve the problem, so he gave us a lot of silver and asked us to keep it a secret. I didn't want to accept the silver at first, but Lord Xing's men threatened us. Later, Lord Xing said that the prescription Lord Sun got could solve the problem. We were afraid that there would be problems with the new prescription, so we asked everyone to try it together..." Zhu Lianzhi replied. Zhao Lin became angrier as he listened, but he did not do anything to Zhu Lianzhi because everyone involved in this matter could be a clue to the detoxification of King Jingyin. (End of this chapter)
