Chapter 049: My cousin is here
The eldest princess of Ping'an's condition is getting worse and worse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At first, everyone thought that she was just an old disease, and even Ping'an herself felt that it was no big deal, so she took out the prescription left by Master Miaozhen for her, ordered someone to decoct the medicine according to the prescription, and then ate some nourishing medicinal food according to the dietary prescription prescribed by Miaozhen.
Ping An didn't even allow the family to spread the news of her illness, and it was the August Festival, and every year in mid-autumn, there was a banquet in the palace, and all the clans and magnates went to the palace to attend the banquet.
Ping An didn't want to delay the opportunity to appear in the palace because of a little illness. She was also worried that the Xifu next door would take advantage of her illness to make some small moves.
But to the surprise of Ping An and everyone in the East Mansion of the Qi Family, Ping An took medicine for several days in a row, and his condition did not improve, but worsened.
Her body knows best, and Ping An feels very clearly that her body is declining little by little, and her body's perception and function are gradually weakening, and even aging and dying of old age.
Ping An felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered someone to go to the palace to ask for a doctor.
Ping An is the oldest and oldest elder in the royal family, she is sick, and the palace naturally does not dare to be sloppy, so she directly sent He Qingfeng, the head of the Tai Hospital. He Yuan has been practicing medicine for generations, and his ancestral medical skills are very clever.
But he took a closer look at Ping'an's face, checked his pulse, and asked some questions from the people who served nearby, but he still couldn't find out the cause. One thing is certain, peace is not a mistake of an old disease, but a new one.
He Qingfeng frowned, and said cautiously, "The eldest princess's illness is indeed a bit strange. However, Weichen is not proficient in learning, and he can't even tell for a while...... Weichen suggested that a few more colleagues should be invited to come over, and everyone would have a consultation and discuss the condition, and maybe, maybe we could find the cause. ”
Qi Mianzhi's face was a little unsightly. Father and brother are in the southwest camp, as the eldest male left behind in the east mansion of the Qi family, now he is the person who has established a household, rubbed his eyebrows, and said in unison: "He Yuan's medical skills are excellent, even you can't see your grandmother's illness?" ”
He Qingfeng blushed with shame and said in a low voice: "Weichen is incompetent. After thinking about it, he added: "The eldest princess's illness can't be delayed too much, if you can, in addition to the imperial doctors in the hospital, you can also visit some good doctors in the people." Qi Gongzi, the folk Duoqi people, the eldest princess is sick, it seems to be a disease but not a disease, it seems to be poisonous and not poisonous, and Weichen and Weichen are also-"
He is good at acupuncture, gynecology and pediatrics, but it can be compared with poisons, and there is not much research.
Moreover, there is a sentence He Qingfeng didn't dare to say, according to his diagnosis, the eldest princess was poisoned nine times out of ten, and the poison was still a strange poison unique to the southwest border, colorless and tasteless, and there was no huge reaction after poisoning, but the body would weaken day by day until death.
Southwest Frontier? It is the territory of the Qi family, and the masters of the east and west mansions of the Qi family are all there.
The eldest princess who is far away in the capital has inexplicably fallen victim to the strange poison in the southwest, and in the middle, there may be some kind of infighting and filth in the house.
As the head of the Tai Hospital, He Qingfeng has been walking in the court and the circle of the powerful for many years, and he knows the doorway inside very well.
And the Qi family is the most chaotic family in the circle of the elite, from time to time there will be a scandal of the poisoning of the master and the accident of the little master, He Qingfeng has been in charge of the Tai Hospital for more than ten years, and his personality is as slippery as a glass ball, how can he easily get involved in the affairs of the Qi family? But as a doctor, he still has a minimum of professional ethics, so he made a plausible remark at the end.
"Poison?" Qi Mianzhi was not stupid, and he suddenly grasped the point, "He Yuanzheng, are you saying that my grandmother is not sick, but poisoned?!" ”
He Qingfeng tugged at the corners of his mouth, did not give a clear answer, only blindly apologized, saying that he was not capable of doing so, his medical skills were not at home, and he asked the Zun Mansion to invite another Gao Ming.
Qi Mianzhi got the answer from He Qingfeng's expression, his face suddenly turned cold, his hands clenched into fists, and he secretly said in his heart: It must be a good thing for the next door to dare to be, damn it, they are so bold that they dare to poison their grandmother?
Qi Mianzhi secretly scolded the female dependents of the Qinghe County Lord and the West Mansion, but his face was not obvious, and he politely sent He Yuanzheng out of the house. Although He Qingfeng did not cure the eldest princess's illness, he pointed out the direction for the Qi family.
Moreover, He Qingfeng is an old fox, with one hand acupuncture and moxibustion, the saint has had migraines for many years, and he needs He Qingfeng to take action every time, so he is deeply favored by the emperor. The nobles in Beijing, no one dares to treat He Yuanzheng easily.
"Go, find me all the doctors who are good at detoxification in Beijing," Qi Mianzhi stood on the steps, his hands behind his back were already clenched into fists, and he said coldly: "In addition, I will order someone to post a notice and look for strange people with good medical skills...... As long as he can cure his grandmother's illness, the Qi family will definitely give him a lot of gratitude. ”
The chief steward of the Qi family's West Mansion bowed his head and stood at the foot of the steps, Qi Jinzhi said a word, and he agreed.
Qi Mianzhi raised his eyes and looked at the buildings on the west side, and continued: "Also, let the people over there be more vigilant, the county lord of Qinghe is not a good child, grandmother is sick, they will definitely take the opportunity to make waves." ”
The housekeeper responded again and again, saying that he would definitely arrange the eyeliner of Xifu.
Qi Mianzhi said again: "Qi Jinzhi will also come back, saying what is a gift for the festival, but I don't believe a word, he must have some conspiracy, you arrange a few people, crucify him to death, every day he has to figure out what he did and where he went......"
As he spoke, Qi Mian's heart moved, Qi Jin's front foot had just entered the door, and his grandmother on the back foot was 'sick', during this period, is there any pity?
Poison?
Qi Mianzhi narrowed his eyes, although he had never been to the southwest, but he had heard his father and brother mention that the southwest is mountainous and dense, and there are many highly poisonous insects, scorpions, snakes and ants in the mountains and forests, as well as some unique poisonous flowers and poisonous plants, and even some miasma, which can kill people regardless of any of them.
Could it be that the poison in my grandmother was brought back by Qi Jinzhi?
Thinking of this, Qi Mianzhi whispered to the housekeeper again, "I remember that my father once invited back a few people from the southwest who knew some medical skills, where are they now?" You have quietly brought people in, and I have something to ask them. ”
The chief butler's face changed, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Master, are you suspicious of the eldest princess—"
Qi Mianzhi put a finger to his lips and silently interrupted the words of the chief butler.
"The old slave understands, the old slave will do it!" The big housekeeper went out of the Qi family in a hurry.
The next day, notices were posted at the entrances of the streets of the capital, and the Qi family offered a heavy reward for the skilled medical personnel, and many doctors moved when they heard the wind, and in only half a day's work, the gate of the Qi family's east mansion was full of people. Among them, there are doctors who come to see the doctor, but more of them are idle people who follow the bustling market.
There was such a big commotion in the East Mansion, it was impossible for the West Mansion living next door not to know about it. Soon, the news that the eldest princess was infected with a strange illness spread, and after Qi Lingxian inquired with the county lord of Qinghe, he hurriedly led Qi Jinzhi and other brothers and their daughters to Dongfu to visit the patient.
On the sickbed, the eldest princess's face was bloodless, and the whole person looked much older, she was not unconscious, but she had no strength, as if all her vitality had entered a period of decline. At this time, the eldest princess did not have the glamorous appearance of the past, and her whole body exuded a thick twilight aura.
Qi Lingxian met with the lord of Qinghe County, and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Brother Mian, what disease does my aunt have, and why is she so weak? ”
After only a few days, the eldest princess seemed to be more than twenty years old. And the breath is weak, and the face is lifeless, as if you may never be able to open your eyes again.
Qi Mianzhi hadn't had a good rest for several days, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, his mouth was scruffy, and his whole person was haggard. He hoarsely said in a depressed voice: "He Yuanzheng and several imperial doctors have taken a look, but they have never found out the cause. Some people say it's an old disease, and some people say they may have eaten something unclean by mistake—"
When he said the last sentence, a trace of hatred flashed in Qi Mianzhi's eyes, and the corner of his eye glanced at Qi Jinzhi who was standing behind Qi Lingxian, paying close attention to his reaction.
However, to Qi Mianzhi's disappointment, Qi Jinzhi did not have any abnormality, and his handsome face was full of complicated expressions: surprise, doubt, and faint darkness and joy.
Qi Jinzhi's expression is very in line with his identity, and it is also in line with the grievances of the East Mansion and the West Mansion. If Qi Jinzhi's face was full of 'worries about his elders', Qi Mianzhi would feel strange instead.
Isn't it him?
Qi Mianzhi suddenly felt a little uncertain, but the southwestern doctors raised by the family said that the eldest princess was indeed poisoned, but the poison was very rare, and even they hadn't heard of it. But one thing is for sure, this poison is from the Southwest!
Qi Lingxian and Qi Jinzhi's father and son are both suspicious. However, Qi Lingxian was injured when he went into the mountains to suppress bandits this spring, and the sage authorized him to return to Beijing to recuperate, and the military affairs in the southwest were temporarily handed over to Qi Jinzhi, who had just married.
The southwest camp has always been led by the Qi family, and Qi Lingxian and Qi Lingyuan each led half of the men and horses. In order to prevent the other party from getting involved in his army, Qi Jinzhi would rather leave his wife who had just visited the church and go to the southwest, which shows that the people of the two prefectures attach great importance to the southwest camp.
But Qi Jinzhi suddenly returned to Beijing to send a festival gift, and he was not afraid that the power of the West Mansion would be invaded by the East Mansion.
If Qi Jinzhi came to poison the eldest princess, Qi Mianzhi believed it more.
But Qi Jinzhi's expression was calm, and there was no weakness at all, which made Qi Mianzhi a little suspicious of his speculation.
Just as he was pondering, Qi Lingxian's voice came from his ears, "Brother Mian, can this matter be returned to your father?" ”
Qi Mianzhi nodded, "My nephew has ordered someone to send a letter to the southwest for eight hundred miles, and it is estimated that my father will receive the letter in two days." "The eldest princess is seriously ill, as a son and eldest grandson, Qi Lingyuan and Qi Qinzhi must rush back quickly.
Hearing this, Qi Jinzhi, who had been silent, quietly hooked the corners of his lips: It's done!
……
Outside the gate of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, a group of carriages slowly drove by, and a handsome young man who looked like an immortal was sitting in the carriage with the head at the head.
"Young Master, we're here!" The little guy who was driving the car outside returned to the road.
The man in the car put down the scroll in his hand, lifted the curtain of the car, saw the familiar gate of the Gu family, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said in his heart: Xiang'er, I'm here!
