Chapter 30: A Brush with Danger
Jiang Sisi felt very powerless when she heard Ye Jinshu call Ye Ruoyan's name directly in such an occasion, without even saying the polite word "sister".

She doesn't know how to flatter and flatter, and I don't know how she survived in the harem.

Coincidentally, Ji Yanqing had also thought about this problem and figured out the answer first, so that not long after, when Jiang Sisi and Ji Yanqing met, with just a few words, the two had an extremely detailed and in-depth discussion on how to improve Ye Jinshu's survival rate in the palace.

Of course, Ye Jinshu was not aware of the content of this discussion.

The Queen would naturally agree to Ye Jinshu's request when she heard it.

She didn't care whether Ye Ruoyan had anything to say or not. As long as Ye Jinshu opened her mouth, she would have to say something even if Ye Ruoyan had nothing to say.

Therefore, the Queen did not ask Ye Ruoyan if she wanted to say anything, but directly said: "Ruoyan, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The meaning of this sentence is that it has been confirmed that Ye Ruoyan has something to say.

When Ye Ruoyan heard the Queen calling on her, she had originally planned to wait until something happened before stepping forward to resolve the issue, but now she had to speak up.

She stood up in front of everyone, bowed to the Emperor and Empress, and said, "Your Highness, I have seen many plagues caused by rats in an ancient book. The root cause is that rats themselves carry the disease, but this disease does not harm the rats themselves.

But if the disease spreads to humans, they will get sick."

"Sister just mentioned that these dragon blood grasses are grown using the heart blood of mice. If the mice used are infected with diseases, then the diseases are likely to be absorbed by the dragon blood grass along with the blood."

"Using it as medicine like this may not only fail to cure diseases, but may even cause them to become sick."

Ye Ruoyan revealed the essence of the matter in one sentence.

Although she had never heard of some of the herbs in this world and had to learn about their efficacy and dosage, she was a genius medical woman in modern times and had been in this world for several years. How could she not have discovered the similarities and differences between the two worlds?

When Ye Ruoyan first learned about the herb Dragon's Blood Grass, she also thought about whether other blood could be used instead of human blood, but she quickly overturned this idea because she saw a case in which the Dragon's Blood Grass grown with the blood of a sick person was eaten by another person, and the other person also contracted the same disease.

This means that dragon blood grass can absorb viruses in the blood and maintain its activity after high temperatures.

If that were the case, using animal blood would be too risky.

According to the world's medical level, many viruses carried by animals are fatal.

That's why Ye Ruoyan was hesitant about whether to tell Ye Jinshu after she heard that he used rat blood to grow dragon blood grass.

If I say it directly now, I might be considered to be going against Ye Jinshu. After all, there is no evidence. But it will be too late when something really happens.

However, for Ye Ruoyan, keeping silent is the best thing to do in her own interest in the current situation, provided that the Queen does not call her.

If she doesn't say anything when I call her now, she will be blamed when something happens.

In fact, Ye Ruoyan was also very annoyed with herself now who had to think twice before doing anything. In the past, she would speak up immediately if she found anything wrong at work.

She had remembered since she was a child that medical practitioners should not joke with human lives, but after coming into this world, she deeply felt her own powerlessness.

You can't say everything, but you can't refrain from saying anything. You have to say it at the right time. Otherwise, you will not only fail to save people, but will also hurt people.

The prerequisite for her to practice medicine was that she had to be able to live freely and safely.

If she had been reincarnated as Ye Jinshu instead of Ye Ruoyan, she wouldn't have to think so much all day long.

She could have just practiced medicine.

Ye Ruoyan only had this thought briefly in her mind before she returned to reality. She told herself that since she had become Ye Ruoyan, she should stop making meaningless assumptions.

Let’s see how far I can go with my status as an unfavored concubine.

Ye Ruoyan's words obviously reminded the imperial doctors. They were also people who read ancient books. After hearing what Ye Ruoyan said, they thought of the example of the person who got sick from dragon blood grass.

However, since the virus has not been discovered in this world yet, people temporarily believe that dragon blood grass can only transmit the disease from one person to another.

Now, after hearing what Ye Ruoyan said, the imperial doctors also began to think about this issue.

It is undeniable that Ye Ruoyan is right.

Seeing that the imperial physician did not refute, Ye Ruoyan realized that this was her chance and took the initiative to say, "However, the dragon blood grass cultivated with rat blood may not be useless. As long as we can find out the disease it causes, I can make an antidote."

“By growing dragon’s blood grass with antidote and rat’s blood, you can grow dragon’s blood grass that won’t get sick.

Ye Ruoyan has been waiting for an opportunity to fully demonstrate her medical skills in front of everyone, rather than just using them to save those few people.

Her medical skills should be able to do more.

Ye Ruoyan, with her head lowered, did not notice that the emperor and empress were not surprised after hearing her words. The two looked at each other, and only each other could understand the meaning.

Chu Yi did not like Ye Ruoyan any more because of what she said. He still looked indifferent, as if he had known that Ye Ruoyan would do this.

However, there are also the fallen prince of Hou Mansion, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and the seventh prince who is like a black sesame dumpling, who are all bewitched by Ye Ruoyan. Their eyes are glued to Ye Ruoyan, and they just want to hold the emperor and empress up and tell them: Agree quickly.

The second prince also cast an interested look at Ye Ruoyan.

After hearing this, Jiang Sisi also understood why she had such an intuition just now.

Just now, Ye Ruoyan was hesitating whether to watch someone get sick because of the dragon blood grass, or to tell the truth now.

Jiang Sisi felt this emotion and made a judgment.

If Ye Ruoyan had not said this and someone got sick or even died from the dragon blood grass grown by Ye Jinshu, then this little princess would be in great trouble.

Jiang Sisi glanced at Ye Jinshu, who was still watching the show and had no idea that he had narrowly escaped danger, and suddenly felt that she had been at a disadvantage.

"Little Princess, whether you understand or not, you owe me a portion of date paste cake now."

Ye Jinshu was just sighing that even if he accepted the reward that should have been given to Ye Ruoyan, she still had other ways to continue to be in the limelight, when he heard Jiang Sisi calling him.

Little Princess, this title sounds nice, she is worthy of being Sister Jiang!

"The chef who made this date paste cake is now on duty at Anping Palace. You can eat it as long as you come." Ye Jinshu just answered Jiang Sisi's words stupidly without asking why.

Jiang Sisi instantly found Ye Jinshu more pleasing to her eyes.

Chu Yi didn't look at Ye Ruoyan the whole time. Instead, he fixed his eyes on the two people who were talking happily, and understood one thing.

Ye Jinshu didn't look at him.

I am no longer jealous of Ye Ruoyan.
