Facing Madam Lin's angry rebuke, Gu Feiyan was not even afraid and her aura is even more bold.

Her expression was solemn as she asked seriously, "Madam Lin, General Cheng's life is at stake. Let me ask you one last time, are you going to test this medicine?"

"You, you …" Old Madam Lin’s face was blue with anger.

Eunuch Wu's eyes flashed sinisterly as he advised, "Madam, since the imperial pharmacy has its rules, we shall follow them. The general's life is at stake, we can't afford to waste it!"

Old Mistress Lin's heart was burning with anxiety. She had no other choice but to listen to Eunuch Wu and order the military doctor to go.

Eunuch Wu warned her coldly. "Stupid girl, remember this well. The delay is all caused by your imperial pharmacy!"

Gu Feiyan didn't answer Eunuch Wu but rolled her eyes at him in contempt.

She poked her little hand, flexed her fingers a few times and began to pick up the medicine. Her ten fingers moved at full speed as she raised her left hand and raised her right hand. One pick, one pick, one throw, one release, one swing, one stroke. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water, professional yet graceful.

Everyone was dumbfounded once again. Her hand wasn't only fast, it was incredibly fast! Before they could see enough, Gu Feiyan had already sorted out all the medicine and placed them in categories. She really didn't waste time at all.

While everyone was still surprised, Gu Feiyan seemed to have discovered something. A complex look flashed across her eyes as she coldly said, "Military doctor, don't just stand there. There are a total of 32 herbs, quickly check them!"

Everyone came to their senses. The military doctor didn't dare to delay as he quickly came over to examine the medicine and quickly came to a conclusion.

"That's right, the formula and ingredients are exactly the same!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Feiyan should have breathed a sigh of relief. However, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't feel well at all!

When she first picked up the medicine, she noticed that there was a big problem with one of the medicine. Imperial Physician Su's prescription was something she'd brought along, but she didn't have the time to look at it. Earlier, she'd thought that someone had purposely mixed up the medicine, but hadn't thought that it would be also written in the prescription.

The name of this medicine was Xia Su Zi, and it was quite expensive. This medicine did have an excellent effect on stomach cold. However, if this medicine was used together with other stomach warming herbs, not only would the efficacy be greatly reduced, but it would also cause severe lung injury.

Whether it was the reduced medicinal effects or the severe injury to his lungs, they were not something that General Cheng's current body could withstand!

This time, it was really troublesome!

Physician knows illness, pharmacist knows medicine.

Doctors are good at pathology, while pharmacists are good at pharmacology.

Physicians directly contact patients, diagnose their condition, prescribe their medicines. Pharmacists' work is to examine and verify the prescriptions, such as whether the medicines are suitable for patients; whether there is any conflict between the medicines, and so on.

Thus, Tianyan Kingdom's imperial pharmacy was not only responsible for selecting, delivering and decocting medicine, but more importantly, it was responsible for checking the prescription and supervising the use of the medicines.

Imperial Physician Su and the military doctor were inexperience in pharmacology, so it was reasonable. But what about the imperial pharmacy? After all, this prescription had passed through the hands of two pharmacists at the imperial pharmacy, it was not like they didn't notice it at all! They must have done it on purpose!

Thinking of this, Gu Feiyan suddenly understood!

This was a trap!

The real prescription and the medicine pack were both there and had been inspected by the imperial pharmacy. However, in the hands of the original owner, everything had become fake! The real culprit wanted to slander her for forging the formula and secretly change the ingredients!

Gu Feiyan suddenly thought of the assassin she met on the way here. That guy came to snatch the medicine, it seemed like he didn't know that there was something wrong with this medicine. In other words, there were at least two groups of people who wanted to harm General Cheng!

Gu Feiyan hesitated, but she didn't tell them the truth. She thought, with Madam Lin's attitude, it would be impossible for her to be trusted. As for Eunuch Wu, he might be an accomplice of the culprit!

No matter what, Cheng Yifei's life must be saved! Now she could only hide the truth and try to secretly get rid of Xia Su Zi and add the original medicine back.

Others can go to hell …
