The imperial physicians thought that with how young Xiao Jingran looked, he wouldn't be able to recognize the plant.
Even if he was a real physician and not a medicine boy, how much knowledge would he have?
Unexpectedly, he did!
Not only did he recognize it as a poisonous plant; he even accurately described its effect. The imperial physicians who had plotted against him immediately went pale.
They stuttered, "Young man, don't speak nonsense!"
"Are you doubting us?"
They could only weakly shout at him, hoping it would somehow intimidate him and shut his mouth. Alas, Xiao Jingran wasn't a pushover.
"Just grind the medicine and don't talk so much. If you don't want to do it or you have some issues, just tell us. We don't want to be the bad people who force you to do something you don't want to," Physician Ma immediately retorted.
He thought it would make Xiao Jingran back down. His words should make him doubt his own knowledge and take a step back, right?
