Chapter 985

Doctor Zhang looked at the rare herbs and couldn't help praising them.

As a good doctor, just having medical skills was far from enough. If there were no good herbs, no matter how good one's medical skills were, there was nothing they could do.

So when he saw these good herbs that he normally couldn't see, his eyes lit up. He held the box and looked like he couldn't bear to let it go.

Mo Chuan said with a faint smile, "Doctor Zhang, if you see any useful herbs, just take them. With these herbs in your hands, you will definitely be able to use them to save more people and cure more difficult illnesses."

Doctor Zhang was filled with joy as he excitedly said, "Many thanks to the emperor!"

Mo Chuan looked at Chen Ning, "Ning 'er, do you see anything?"

Although Chen Ning didn't understand medicine, she had the shapes and effects of various herbs in her memory palace. Comparing it to the real thing, she already had an idea of what it was.

She looked even more carefully than doctor Zhang. These pills and pills all had their ingredients and uses written on them, but they didn't have much use for detoxification. Until her eyes fell onto a stalk of dark black grass, she gave a soft "yi" sound.

"What kind of grass is this?" Chen Ning moved closer to the box and sniffed it. She could smell a fishy stench coming from it.

"Empress, be careful, don't touch it no matter what. This is Netherworld Grass, it's highly poisonous!" Doctor Zhang's expression changed as he quickly shouted out.

Hearing that it was poisonous, Mo Chuan's pupils instantly shrank. He immediately grabbed Chen Ning's hand and pulled her back. At the same time, he slapped the box to the ground with his right palm and the dark black grass fell out of the box.

"Xiao Si, go see who sent this box over!" Mo Chuan said in a sharp voice.

Chen Ning raised her hand to stop his and smiled at him, "Mo Chuan, don't change your expression when you hear poison. Some poisons can harm people, but some poisons can save people."

She turned to look at doctor Zhang, "If my guesses aren't wrong, although this Netherworld Grass is highly poisonous, it should be a good detoxification medicine, right?"

Doctor Zhang came back to his senses and walked over to wrap his hand with a cloth. He carefully picked up the Netherworld Grass and looked it over in front of him.

"Yes, the Empress is right. This Netherworld Grass usually grows in places that are dark and damp. It can't stand the slightest bit of sunlight. As long as the sunlight shines on its leaves, it will immediately wither and turn to dust. That's why it's called Netherworld Grass. However, the place where it grows just happens to be where snakes like to live. So, the medical books say that the poison it contains is coincidentally the best antidote for snake venom. This is also the wondrous effect of using poison to fight poison."

"Antidote for snake venom?" Chen Ning's eyes instantly lit up.

She immediately looked up at Mo Chuan, "The Empress Dowager's decree said that I was poisoned, but it didn't say it was snake poison. This Netherworld Grass itself is very poisonous, but it is a wonderful antidote for snake poison. Although I'm not sure if it can cure the black flower snake's poison, if the person who sent the medicine didn't know that I was poisoned, they wouldn't have sent this poisonous grass into the palace no matter what. Mo Chuan, don't you think this matter is a bit too coincidental? "

Mo Chuan's eyes sparkled and he said in a deep voice, "That's right, it really is a coincidence. The person who sent the medicine is most likely the culprit!"

Chen Ning then said in a deep voice, "If it really is the culprit, why would he send the right antidote to the palace? His intention should be to harm people and not to save people, right? "
