Chapter 484 Strange Disease
The eunuch next to him was already flustered. When he heard Zhu Yu's order, he was a little slow to react. He subconsciously crawled over and took an oil lamp from the side.

She held the oil lamp in front of Brahma, and as the bright yellow flame drew closer to Brahma's eyes, his pupils, which had been dilated, shrank slightly.

Zhu Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seems that although the Brahma King's condition looks terrifying, there should still be hope. At least he is not completely dead yet. Whether he can be pulled back from the brink of death is not her area of ​​expertise. It all depends on how deep Yan Daoxin's cultivation is.

So she took the oil lamp and moved to the side, getting close to the two women who were lying motionless on the ground.

Seeing this, the eunuch was about to speak up to stop them, but his companion pulled him back and shook his head, meaning that at this point, why should they care whether the doctor's companions looked at those women or not!

The eunuchs knew perfectly well what would become of those two women. They couldn't see anything wrong with them, so there was no need to stop them any further. They might even offend the only divine physician they could rely on now.

Zhu Yu squatted down in front of the two women, pried open their eyelids, and brought the oil lamp closer. Without exception, both women had large pupils and did not react to the outside light at all.

When I grabbed his wrist and felt his pulse, I found that not only was there no pulse, but his body temperature had also dropped to almost zero. He was completely lifeless, and it was clear that he had been dead for a long time.

Zhu Yu was not surprised by this result; it was within his expectations.

What's attracting her attention now are the strange bruises on the arms of the two women.

The two women's corpses were already barely clothed; their torsos were hastily covered by silk quilts by the eunuchs, while their limbs were exposed.

Zhu Yuqing could clearly see that both of them had irregular dark purplish-brown bruises on their limbs, shaped like clouds, which looked eerie.

This made Zhu Yu frown.

She had just seen these two women, lively and energetic, being carried in by two eunuchs. It hadn't been long at all. Even if they had died the moment they entered the inner palace, it shouldn't have taken such a short time for their bodies to be covered in lividity.

Moreover, how could lividity appear directly above a corpse? This is simply illogical.

She wanted to examine the bodies further, but then realized that given her current status and the critical juncture, it seemed inappropriate to show too much interest in the corpses of the two women. So she had no choice but to keep her questions in mind and return to Yan Daoxin.

Yan Daoxin's expression could be described as "a storm brewing." Zhu Yu had never seen him so gloomy since he met him. It didn't seem like he was troubled, but rather like he was trying hard to suppress his anger. He released Fan Wang's wrist, reached into his robes, took out a porcelain bottle, and poured a pill into his palm.

Yan Daoxin carried a treasure trove of small porcelain gourds, each containing pills with different effects. Some were powerful tonics, some were mind-refreshing pills, and some were even poisons he had concocted himself that caused a burning, itchy, and painful sensation all over the body, as if ants were gnawing at it.

Zhu Yu recognized the porcelain bottle he took out this time; it contained antidote pills. While they couldn't cure all poisons, they could at least alleviate the damage caused by most poisons for a period of time, essentially holding the poisoned person back by one arm, giving them the opportunity to prepare a more effective antidote.

Clearly, the poison in this Brahma King was not ordinary, which made Yan Daoxin dare not delay and he had to use the antidote pills to temporarily alleviate the symptoms.

Yan Daoxin pried open the Brahma King's jaw, thankfully without freezing. The process was not difficult. After successfully stuffing the pill into his mouth, he turned his gaze to the eunuch beside him: "What exactly is wrong with your king? What medicine does he usually take? Whether it's for treating illness or for health maintenance, tell me everything!"

The eunuch was somewhat flustered, stammering as if he dared not speak, yet dared not remain silent, caught in a dilemma, completely at a loss.

"Stop stammering!" Yan Daoxin poked the servant twice in annoyance. "Your king is seriously poisoned and his life is in danger. I don't know what's wrong with him, how he got poisoned, or how to prepare medicine to help him detoxify!!"
If you keep stalling, my pill won't hold up, and your king will be dead!
I've heard that you in the Vatican still practice human sacrifice? Who knows, maybe you'll all be sacrificed together someday!

The eunuch shuddered. He had no desire to be sacrificed; he cherished his life and wanted to live for several more decades.

So he hurriedly began, trembling, "Actually...actually...our king doesn't really have any strange illness, he...he...he..."

The young eunuch swallowed hard. Even though Brahma was almost dead, he was still somewhat timid in front of him and dared not speak out. He was afraid that the king was still conscious and might blame him for being too talkative if he was later saved, thus costing him his head.

"Just say what you have to say! If he could still hear, I wouldn't be in such a hurry." Yan Daoxin guessed the reason for his hesitation and urged him impatiently from the side.

Seeing how certain he sounded, the eunuch seemed a little relieved and quickly said, "Actually, the king doesn't have any other illness; it's just that in recent years he's become more and more greedy for... bedroom matters..."

At first, things were alright, nothing particularly unreasonable. It's just that the concubines in the household, the more frequently they served the prince, the weaker their bodies became, and after about six months… they… died.

"Oh?" Yan Daoxin glanced at the two women beside him. "Then this won't have any effect on your king's health?"

"No, not at all." When asked this, the eunuch's answer was quite straightforward and certain. "Our king's health has not only not been affected, but has become stronger and healthier, with a ruddy complexion, as if he has been nourished by some kind of powerful tonic."
