(16) Poisoning
I saw the young attendant Yun Cong beside the queen mother hurrying over with three imperial doctors.
At the front is the oldest and highest-ranking director of the Tai Hospital, Xue Taiyi, who is Concubine Xue's grandfather, as soon as he entered the dormitory, he searched everywhere for Concubine Xue's figure, and saw Concubine Xue standing behind Concubine Shu with her head hanging down alive before he breathed a sigh of relief, carrying the medical box and panting and bowing to the emperor and empress. Concubine Xue saw that her grandfather was running a little panting, and her usually silent eyebrows and eyes were full of anxiety and worry.
The second is the young Imperial Physician Meng, I saw him walking behind Imperial Physician Xue unhurriedly, sleepy-eyed and almost yawned on the spot, unlike Imperial Physician Xue, he only made a gesture to the emperor, followed by the last is the Imperial Physician Wang who was pulled by Yuncong, I saw that he looked frightened, I didn't know what was going on, and I seemed to vaguely hear that it was related to him, and was pulled by Yun Cong just to the emperor and lay on the ground.
"Okay, stop the ink, hurry up and show me what is going on with Rou Guiji!" Shen Zhan glanced at Imperial Physician Wang with an unhappy expression, and then swept over Imperial Physician Meng Xun, who was standing aside as if the old god was on the ground, but he rarely did not blame him for his disrespectful manners.
Fortunately, in the Great Calendar Dynasty, because of the relationship between the founding Emperor Changle and the Emperor, the national style advocates freedom and openness, and the degree of freedom of women is high. I saw that Imperial Physician Wang raised Rou Guiji's wrist and padded the cushion for consultation, frowning and twisting his pulse repeatedly, and the tip of his nose and forehead were all covered with sweat. Meng Xun also walked slowly to Rou Guiji's bedside, observed Rou Guiji's face gently, and whispered to the little servant who helped him carry the medicine box to find the medicine bowl that Rou Guiji drank tonight.
Imperial Physician Xue stood aside, and his anger had not yet eased up.
Originally, if it was ordinary, if a concubine of such a position as Guiji was sick, she would have to give the queen or the head of the first palace to invite a doctor, and the one who came was generally the envoy of the five products, like the previous Rou Guiji's maid Yang Xi went to invite the imperial doctor but invited the doctor of the eighth grade, it was obvious that it was the Tai Hospital to see that Rou Guiji was not favored, and it was the middle of the night, so he sent the doctor to perfunctory, and now there are three imperial doctors, one is the dean of the three products, Xue Taiyi, and the other is Meng Xun, the vice president of the new emperor who has just been mentioned on the throne, One is the imperial physician of the five products, one is because this matter alarmed the emperor and queen, it is not as simple as sending a hospital envoy on duty, and the second is that Imperial Physician Xue cares about his granddaughter Xue Concubine Xue Zhiyi, and when he heard that something happened in the harem, he rushed over to see it for fear of implicating his granddaughter, and it was understandable, and the third imperial physician must come, and the palace maid was poisoned by the imperial physician and the imperial physician was sent by the queen, and this matter had to be clarified by the imperial physician on the spot. But how did Imperial Doctor Meng, who became the vice president at a young age, come here, and everyone couldn't figure it out.
Meng Xunfang Buddha sensed the doubts in everyone's hearts, shrugged his shoulders towards the emperor who was looking at him, and spread his hands and said: "The minister is homeless, and he is sleeping behind the Tai Hospital. ”
What's going on with that clearly lively tone between the words! Everyone looked at Meng Xun with more and more distrust.
Meng Xun didn't care, and touched the back of his neck to say that he was bored, but Shen Zhan didn't blame Meng Xun for his obviously disrespectful tone, and turned his head to continue to look at Imperial Doctor Wang's pulse.
Everyone said there was a situation here! Looking at Meng Xun's eyes, it became more and more weird.
said that Meng Xun, the only one who brought a little guy, finally brought the medicine bowl over.
It can be regarded as Rou Guiji's luck, originally if it was a used bowl, it would have to be cleaned up immediately, but today Rou Guiji vomited blood after drinking medicine on her front foot, and the palace people who packed up the medicine bowl on her back foot and were about to send it to the Shang Food Bureau immediately panicked when they got the news.
So everyone's eyes looked from Meng Xun to the bowl in Meng Xun's hand.
The imperial physician on the side cut his pulse for a long time, and finally said to Shen Zhan with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Weichen is incompetent, and he can't diagnose what Gui Ji Niangniang is." ”
"You go," Shen Zhan kicked the Imperial Physician Wang impatiently, but he didn't get angry, and then turned to Meng Xun: "Meng Xun, you come." ”
I saw Meng Xun walking in front of Rou Guiji, cutting the pulse with one hand, and drawing a line on the bowl he had just taught the little girl to hold with the other, and then put his index finger in his mouth.
"Rou Guiji's pulse is disordered, unconscious, but there are signs of poisoning, but there is no poison in this medicine bowl, it is full of mild and nourishing medicinal materials."
Meng Xun opened his mouth slowly.
"Impossible!" was kneeling on the ground and thinking about what Rou Guiji had come into contact with today, Yang Xi raised his head suddenly, "Guiji has been fine all day today, and she vomited blood after drinking the medicine, how can it not be about this bowl of medicine?" Isn't the doctor a good doctor? ”
Hearing on the side that the medicinal herbs were fine, Imperial Physician Wang and Song Mier both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When Meng Xun heard someone questioning his medical skills, he raised his eyebrows and plucked out his ears, "Not convinced?" Here you go. ”
"Ahem," Shen Zhan was also stopped by Meng Xun's tone, "Imperial Physician Meng's medical skills can be trusted, the queen just asked you to recall what your master came into contact with during the day yesterday, do you have an answer?" ”
Yang Xi looked at Meng Xun in disbelief, and didn't dare to open his mouth to let Imperial Doctor Xue diagnose, under the gaze of the emperor and empress and all the concubines, he had to honestly recall what Rou Guiji had been in contact with yesterday.
"The master went to the palace of the queen this morning, drank half a cup of tea, and then came out, halfway and Qian Guiji sat in a pavilion for a while, and did not touch anything, returned to the palace at noon, because there was no appetite, there was no use at noon, and then the imperial physician came to consult, in the afternoon Qian Guiji came to the palace, the master ate some snacks with her, and then used the tonic that he usually eats, and the master did not eat dinner, and drank the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician before going to bed, and then something happened." In the end, Yang Xi began to sob and choke again, which made people look so bored.
Yang Xi to now the bottom of his heart is also beginning to be unsteady, it stands to reason that the master wants to see the holy face, so he set up such a play, using harmless small medicinal materials, although I don't know why the master wants to put it in the tonic prescribed by the imperial doctor, vaguely for the queen's mother, but the master also said that this kind of medicinal materials will not hurt people fatally, at most a few mouthfuls of blood, but can make things bigger, so that the emperor has to come to see himself, the master can take the opportunity to let the emperor stay, and if there is a chance, it will be done. But now that the master is still unconscious after so long, the Imperial Doctor Meng also said that the master was really poisoned, how is it different from the preset?
Qian Guiji, who was "worried" and looked at Wen Qingwan on the side, also spoke: "Your Majesty, the tea and snacks that the concubine and Sister Qingwan ate in the afternoon, what Sister Qingwan used, the concubine also used it, and the amount was almost the same, so it was not the reason for the refreshments." But when the concubine left from the Jinghong Palace in the afternoon, she saw a sneaky person around the corner, and the style of clothes was similar to that of He Zhaoyi at the moment, and in the afternoon, Qingwan's sister embarrassed He and Duan for the sake of the concubine, so the concubine suspected that this matter was related to He Zhaoyi and Duan Zhaoyi, and asked His Majesty to investigate. With that, Nana bowed down, bowing her head, revealing her slender neck and a piece of snow-white skin.
Shen Zhan glanced at Qian Guiji with a smile, and at this time, he didn't forget to make up a lie and pull people into the water by the way, and his heart played in front of him, hehe. Shen Zhan laughed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, only for Qian Guiji's words in the first half: "Rou Guiji's body is different from you, her body and bones have always been very weak, you are much stronger than her, the same amount of refreshment, you eat it is okay, it does not mean that Rou Guiji will be fine after eating." ”
Qian Guiji's face turned white, but she didn't dare to refute, so she had to laugh aggrievedly, pretending not to understand the meaning of the emperor's words.
Liu Shuxing on the side flattened his mouth sarcastically, squinted his eyes and looked at Qian Guiji's exposed skin.
And Song Mier focused on the pastries that Shen Zhan said, and he didn't have time to see what Qian Guiji did to Shen Zhan, "You said that you ate the tea and snacks you used in the afternoon, do you remember what tea and snacks you used?" Whose tea is served? And who makes the dim sum? Is there anything left? ”
"And you tell me, what is the difference between the fat powder jewelry used by your master today and the past?" Meng Xun was no longer lazy and lazy, and was frowning and asking Rou Guiji's palace maid Yangxi.
"Queen Mother, in the afternoon, the concubine and Rou Guiji used some Keemun black tea, because it tasted like fruit tea, we ate more, I ate three, Sister Qingwan ate two, and ate some golden silk cakes, jasmine cakes and a small bowl of Huai honey bird's nest for dim sum, and nothing else, as for the bowl and the rest of the pastries......" Qian Guiji looked sideways at Yang Xi of the next head.
Yang Xi tried hard to suppress the panic and confusion in his heart, stabilized his figure, took a deep breath, and respectfully kowtowed on the ground again, only then raised his head slightly, his eyes looked down and said: "Back to the queen's mother, the remaining pastries and tea masters gave us a few palace maids, the tea cup was put away, and the dim sum saucer was sent back to the Shangshi Bureau in the afternoon. ”
Liu Shuxing saw that the spearhead had turned to the fat powder pastry, so he blessed Shen Zhan: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wang has also treated the concubine today, and the concubine has also used the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Wang, and it is not a big problem, I don't think it is a problem with Imperial Physician Wang." Liu Shuxing's voice was soft, and he spoke eloquently, which made Shen Zhan's face a little better.
The imperial physician on the side nodded again and again when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel grateful to the concubine in his heart.
Liu Shuxing squinted at Imperial Physician Wang's sincere and fearful look of gratitude, and sneered in his heart. On the surface, Liu Shuxing seemed to exonerate the suspicion of Imperial Physician Wang, but in fact, he shifted everyone's attention from the fat powder pastry to the Imperial Physician and the medicinal herbs. But this idiot is still grateful to himself.
Meng Xun's heart lit up when he heard Liu Shuxing's words, and he couldn't help but clench his right hand into a fist on his left palm, and said loudly: "It is this principle, there is no problem with the medicinal materials, there is no problem with the prescription, it does not mean that there is no problem with the medicine!" ”
"What do you mean by that, what is the meaning of medicinal herbs, the prescription is fine, but the medicine is still problematic?" Shen Zhan's thin lips pursed and looked at Meng Xun.
Song Mier frowned, not knowing why the problem came back to him in circles.
Meng Xun waved his hand, "Hey, Your Majesty will know right away." Then he turned his head to the kneeling Yang Xi and said: "You said that your family has always used warm and tonic medicinal diets, and please bring us the recipes for medicinal diets for us to see, take which kinds of medicinal diets you have, take as many as you want, don't miss it, this is the last chance to save your master." He also said to the imperial physician who was about to sit on the ground: "I also ask the royal envoy to write out the prescription you prescribed for this Rougui Ji Niangniang today, Meng Xun is not talented, and I want to find clues from it, but the court envoy does not have to worry, there is no problem with your medicinal materials, Meng Xun dares to vouch for you." ”
When Imperial Physician Wang heard this, he let go of his hanging heart that was lifted by Meng Xun again, so he didn't feel so worried, stood up tremblingly, took the pen and paper handed by Meng Xun on the side, and wrote the prescription seriously.
"Rou Guiji, this is a disease of yin deficiency," the imperial physician who wrote the prescription handed the list to Meng Xun, "because she is eating the medicinal diet that nourishes yin in the original form, and it is a long-term illness, it is not easy to take strong medicine, and the fainting in the day before yesterday is thought to be the disease of yin deficiency The body is weak, and she is standing in the open space again, caused by the wind and the scorching sun. "Although Imperial Physician Wang is timid and afraid, he is very proficient in medical skills, once he talks about medical affairs, the fear just now will disappear, and the whole person is rigorous and serious, which makes Shen Zhan look at him twice.
While speaking, Yang Xi also presented the list of medicinal diets used by Wen Qingwan, "These are the lists of medicinal diets that Guiji uses daily, this one is used today, and these two are used yesterday, all of them are here." Yang Xi was really frightened, didn't dare to hide anything, and found out all the lists.
Without waiting for Shen Zhan to speak, the three imperial doctors, including Imperial Physician Xue, surrounded the city, rummaging through the candlelight and checking a few prescription lists.
"I see!"
"I see!" "That's what happened!"
However, after a while, Imperial Physician Xue, Imperial Physician Wang, and Meng Xun shouted at about the same time.
"What did you find?" Song Mier stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Is there a way to cure Rou Guiji, you only analyze the prescription, why don't you go and treat Rou Guiji first?" ”
"Returning to the queen mother, it is Rou Gui Ji who can't find the cause, so I have to find the cause of Rou Gui Ji's vomiting blood and coma, so as to prescribe the right medicine," Meng Xun flew a glance at Shen Zhan without a trace, and looked at Song Mier with a smile: "Please don't worry too much, although Rou Gui Ji is unconscious, her internal organs are not damaged, and there is no general function in her body, but she has not woken up yet, and there will be no major problems." ”
Shen Zhan received Meng Xun's eyes, and instantly understood, but he also wondered why Song Mier was so worried that Rou Guiji would not be able to get up, as the queen, was it a little too much?
"What did the three imperial doctors find? Is there a way to heal Rou Guiji? Song Mier then asked.
"It still starts with this prescription." Meng Xun presented the prescription with both hands and handed it to Song Mier.
