Chiang Xiao had another question. "Are these encompassed within the study of traditional Chinese medicine? If so, your nephew is at the Jiang Family, wouldn't he notice food-related issues?"
Chen Baoshen shook his head, "Many edible fruits, vegetables, and meats are not included in the study category of traditional Chinese medicine. This practice relies entirely on the individual. Even if one knows, it's impossible to be thoroughly familiar with every single one. Moreover, Old Master Jiang wouldn't call a doctor to check every meal."
That's true.
It's not like the emperor of ancient times, constantly fearing someone might want to harm him, needing to test for poison during every meal.
Besides, even the concubines of emperors in ancient times might not really test for poison with a silver needle at every meal. It might just be a plot in novels and TV dramas; reality may not require such caution.
Moreover, food incompatibilities are not poison and might not truly be detectable.
