"If we can find an antidote that targets the root cause, that would be best. Otherwise, I fear it will require scraping bones and marrow... Judging by the pulse, General Xiao has consumed all manner of detoxifying elixirs. It is not impossible that one day this poison may cease to recur."
Hearing the imperial physician’s words, Xiao Yunsheng fell silent. He slowly stood up and offered the elderly men a formal bow, the stoop of his back lingering for a long time before he straightened. "I must ask you all to keep this a secret. Please, do not let it spread."
The physicians gritted their teeth. "That goes without saying, naturally. We are all acting under the Crown Prince’s orders. But General, this poison of yours... it remains ferocious. You must keep your mind calm and avoid sudden anger, or I fear your body will be hollowed out by the toxins before we can ever develop a method to suppress them."
