"Indeed," he said, "Although the Grand Preceptor's Mansion claimed that Young Master Qi fell ill due to the shock from the great fire at Fengle Building, from what I've heard others describe, Young Master Qi seemed more like he had epilepsy. I remember Doctor Lu once asked me about using a mix of herbs: Poria, Polygala, Myrrh, Dragon's Blood, Magnolia Bark... along with Qiongchong Insect. I told him that using such a prescription could, in the short term, soothe the emotions and calm the seizures. But if used for an extended period, residual toxins would accumulate in the body, paralyzing the mind. Although it may seem to improve the condition superficially, in reality, the illness would worsen, and future relapses would be difficult to treat."
Ji Xun glanced at Lu Tong and, seeing his calm expression with no rebuttal, continued, "Later on... Young Master Qi fell ill repeatedly..."
"What do you mean by that, Doctor Ji?" Lu Tong interrupted him.
