63. Poisoning

The name Sleepy Sleep was spoken by Cheng Zisong, and there was a moment of silence in the main hall of Yufu Palace.

Chu Xue didn't know medical skills, so naturally she didn't know anything about such an unfamiliar name, but when Ruyue heard about it, she was taken aback.

Seeing that Chu Xue's face was full of puzzlement, Cheng Zisong whispered for her to explain her confusion, "Yu Niangniang, this is a relatively rare poison, but the toxicity is not violent, it just makes the person who takes it tired, sleepy all day long, and gradually loses some of his body." ”

Chu Xue was even more puzzled, she asked, "Since you want to harm me, why do you choose such a thing that is not very toxic?" It just makes me sleepy and tired, so what can they wish for? ”

"I don't know." Cheng Zisong's face was stern, and he further explained to her, "You are about to give birth now, and it is the time when you need to reserve your body, once you continue to be weak, when you are ready to give birth, you may be in danger, your body is weak and weak, and it is easy to give birth to difficult birth." ”

Dystocia!

Chu Xue was suddenly startled, this time she was really frightened.

What a sinister intention!

She has been safe during her pregnancy, and the imperial doctor comes every day to ask for pulse, which can ensure that she is safe until the time of delivery, but dystocia is an uncontrollable emergency, and the situation is extremely critical, and it is very likely that adults and children can only choose one of them, or even two lives......

She was afraid, but she heard Ruyue frown and asked, "Senior brother said this, the master is indeed a symptom of sleep phantasia, but how did senior brother diagnose it?" ”

Cheng Zisong took out the white towel from which blood was taken yesterday and said, "Come and see." ”

When Ruyue approached, she saw that the dried blood stains on the white towel were faintly cyan in the sunlight.

"There is a blue in the blood, this is indeed a symptom of sleep eating." Ruyue's expression was solemn, and she nodded: "Fortunately, Senior Brother came up with a way to take blood, otherwise, we would really let the wicked take advantage of the loophole and harm the mother." Just ......"

As soon as her voice turned, Chu Xue and Cheng Zisong looked at her together, and she continued: "It's just that I am responsible for Niangniang's diet, and I have carefully checked all the ingredients and medicinal materials before cooking, and there is nothing suspicious, how did this poison enter Niangniang's body?" ”

Cheng Zisong also raised his eyebrows, and said with a little doubt: "This is indeed worth studying, this poison itself is not very toxic, if it reaches the symptoms of Niangniang today, it must enter from the mouth, but the things in the entrance are handled by their own people, how can they let it take advantage of it?" ”

Seeing that both the senior brother and sister were puzzled, Chu Xue said: "That's it, since the poison has been detected, it's not too late, the most important thing at the moment is that there is a way to solve it?" ”

"Yes!" Cheng Zisong nodded immediately, since he saw the dried blood stains this morning and determined that the bleeding was in the sleep of the dispersion, he hurriedly prepared the antidote, and brought it with him at this time, after Ruyue took it, he hurriedly went out and ordered Jin Yu to fry it.

Finding out the source of the disease is already a big progress, Chu Xue said to Cheng Zisong: "This is thanks to you, otherwise this palace will be in full swing, and I don't know how thrilling it will be." ”

Cheng Zisong bowed his head, "It is Weichen's duty to protect the mother, but in the remaining days, the mother should move around a lot and move the muscles and bones to enhance the body, so as to facilitate future production." ”

Chu Xue nodded, "This palace knows." ”

"Then Weichen will retire first."

Cheng Zisong withdrew from the temple gate.

Coming out of Yufu Palace, after walking a few steps, his brows have never been able to stretch, although the source of the disease has been found, but how the poison enters the human body, he has not yet figured it out, this is really a bit tricky.

He sighed, walked forward for a while, and after a while, he came to the door of the Huanyi Bureau.

The palace maids of the Huanyi Bureau are washing clothes, and from time to time someone pours buckets of water into the Huanyi pool, and the sound of the water is mixed with the voices of the palace people, which makes it seem that this courtyard is very noisy.

Water?

Cheng Zisong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ruyue said that all the ingredients that entered Concubine Yi's mouth, she had checked them one by one before cooking, and there was no problem, although the ingredients were fine, but what about the water used to cook the ingredients? What about the water that Concubine Yi intakes every day?

Cheng Zisong hurriedly turned around and walked quickly back to Yufu Palace along the way he came.

After Cheng Zisong left, taking advantage of the time to cook the medicine, Chu Xue was walking in his hospital according to his doctor's instructions, and saw him go and return, looking in a hurry. After the visitor finished saluting him, Chu Xue said: "I got the medicine so soon?" ”

Cheng Zi was relieved for a moment, immediately reacted, bowed his head and said: "Yes, please move to the palace and wait for Weichen to explain to you in detail." ”

Chu Xue nodded, was supported by Yanling, and walked back to the main hall.

Since he has been unknowingly hacked, the people in this palace are difficult to get out of it, and these few people who are close to him can be trusted, and they can't stand the people who are waiting outside or have different intentions, after all, the entire harem is now under the orders of one person, and it is not impossible for that woman to insert someone in, so she must always be guarded against.

"Did you find anything?" Entering the hall and closing the door, Chu Xue asked him.

Cheng Zisong said: "The minister has some speculation about how Niangniang was poisoned, but it still needs to be verified." As he spoke, he looked at Yanling and Ruyue, "I need to check the blood samples of the two." ”

Chu Xue nodded, and the two girls stretched out their hands, which were pierced by Cheng Zisong one by one with silver needles and sampled with white towels. After doing this, Cheng Zisong asked again, "Where does the water used by Yufu Palace come from?" ”

Ruyue replied: "Each palace has its own well, and our well is in the backyard, and the water is drawn from there on weekdays. ”

Seeing Cheng Zisong nodding, Chu Xue followed and asked, "Could it be that the poison was thrown into the well water?" ”

Cheng Zisong said truthfully: "At present, only this way can be explained, the things that Niangniang enters are personally checked by Ruyue, but the water for drinking has nothing to do with it." Weichen is only guessing now, if the blood stains of the two girls are also found in the blood tomorrow, then there is indeed a problem with this well. ”

Everyone nodded, but Yanling still had questions, she asked: "But we all use the water from that well, if there is really a problem, why is only the master unwell, and everyone else is fine?" ”

Cheng Zisong didn't need to open his mouth for this question, Ruyue replied: "Because the master has a double body, his body is already weaker, and we can't detect the trace amount of poison, but as far as the master is concerned, it is strict." ”

Yan Ling clenched her fists angrily, "With such a secret method, I want to harm the master if I am scheming!" Don't let me know who she is! ”

"Who else!" Chu Xue sneered, "Who else can there be who is scheming to kill me?" ”

Everyone was silent, except for Fengyi Palace, who else would come up with such a clever means.

"But there is a mole in the palace, but it's not a trivial matter!" Chu Xue instructed Yan Ling, "Sue sΓΉ Fugui, send some people these days to secretly stare at the backyard, and be sure to find out the poisoned person in the palace!" ”

"Yes." Yan Ling immediately turned around and walked forward.

But that night, the backyard was quiet and there was no movement.

Early in the morning of the second day, when Cheng Zisong asked for pulse, he brought the blood samples of Ruyue and Yanling yesterday, and sure enough, just like Chu Xue's, their bodies did contain sleep phagogy.

This time, Chu Xue also called Fugui in, and asked the head of Yufu Palace to also listen to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor. Fugui naturally has a dishful face, as the head of the first palace, there was a mistake in the errand, and he could let people poison the master of Jin Gui under his nose, this master with a bad temper must ask him for his crimes, and dozens of boards are considered light.

Seeing that Fugui's face was trembling, Chu Xue opened her mouth without showing joy and anger, she looked at her manager and said, "This palace gives you a chance to catch the person who poisoned you, and it will be regarded as your retribution." ”

Fugui trembled and kowtowed, and sent more people in the backyard that night, determined to find out the wrongdoers.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and when the two masters in the dormitory fell asleep peacefully, there was finally movement in the backyard.

Early in the morning of the second day, Song Chen had just left the morning court, and heard that Yufu Palace had sent someone to report that someone was intending to murder Concubine Yi's mother and son, and asked him to go and administer justice.

Song Chen was so shocked and angry that he didn't even bother to change his dragon robe, and walked quickly to Yufu Palace.

When the king arrived, there were people kneeling in Yufu Palace, including palace maids and eunuchs, and imperial doctors who came to ask for pulse.

When everyone heard the rumor, they hurriedly kowtowed to him, but he didn't care about anyone, came to Chu Xue in a few steps, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" Feeling uncomfortable again? ”

The beauty shed tears before she spoke, she grabbed his hand and said: "The concubine has a big life with the child in the womb, although she has been poisoned, there is no big problem, but if you are not careful, or in a later day, the concubine is afraid, I am afraid that she will be separated from the emperor forever." ”

She was excited, Song Chen didn't want to ask her, his eyes searched the kneeling crowd, he caught a glimpse of Fugui, and said in a deep voice, "Come on, what's going on?" ”

"Yes." Finally waiting for the opportunity to make up for the merits, Fugui hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, in the middle of the night yesterday, the servants on duty at night found that there was a change next to the well in the backyard, and then went to check, and found that there was a palace maid who was about to throw medicine into the well. ”

"Later, the imperial doctor confirmed that the master had indeed been poisoned by this ......"

"Bold!" An angry shout interrupted Fugui's words, and everyone in the hall lay on the ground, and their heads could not be lowered any longer. Song Chen's face was extremely ugly, he stared at Cheng Zisong, and said angrily: "I ordered you to ask for Concubine Yi's pulse every day, why haven't you been diagnosed earlier, and you have to get all the stolen goods to come to a conclusion?" If you hurt Concubine Yi and the dragonborn in your belly, what should you be guilty of! ”

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger." Cheng Zisong resisted the anger of the Son of Heaven and replied calmly, "Wechen was suspected as early as half a month ago, when Niangniang first had symptoms of drowsiness, and he also prescribed a lot of prescriptions for Niangniang to recuperate, but the β–‘β–‘ of sleep is weak, and it takes time to accumulate before it can be reflected in the pulse. ”

As he spoke, he took out three white towels with blood stains, and explained the process before and after verifying the poison. At the end of the words, he said: "What Weichen said is true, don't dare to deceive half a sentence, the emperor can summon other imperial doctors, and you will know it as soon as you prove it." ”

After listening to his words, Song Chen calmed down a little and ordered someone to go to Ji Yuan, the most senior imperial doctor in Chuantai Hospital.

It didn't take long for Ji Yuan to arrive, and after inspecting the white towel and the medicinal powder seized by Fugui, he confirmed Cheng Zisong's judgment and the consequences that this medicine would have on Chu Xue.

Song Chen took a breath of anger and asked Fugui, "Where is the poisoner now?" ”

Fugui replied: "Back to His Majesty, he has been detained in a side room." ”

"Take it to the inner court prison, and you must find out who instigated it!"

The Son of Heaven was as sharp as thunder, and Fugui immediately took the order to go.

After everyone in the hall withdrew, Chu Xue leaned crookedly into Song Chen's arms and sobbed again.

"Your Majesty, why do people always want to harm their concubines and the children in their womb, why do they always hate their concubines so much, so cruel that they don't even let go of an unborn child?"

"Those who dare to hurt you and the child, I will never let go, don't worry, give the inner court supervisor a little time, they will find out."

The beauty stopped talking, just hugged him tightly, and let the tears fall into his arms.
