"General Murong, what the hell is going on?" Meng Yin couldn't help it, he frowned and asked Murong Chui quietly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Murong Chui shook his head and did not speak, but quickened his pace and led the two to the emperor's tent.

The screen separates the emperor's dragon bed from the place where the guests meet. The two bypassed the screen and saw that the emperor could still sit on the seat yesterday and talk and laugh with the secretaries, but today he was lying on the bed unconscious. Meng Yin Meng Tao saw it, and his face turned pale instantly.

Meng Tao was still reasonable, he immediately looked sideways at the people standing in the tent, and called the head of Gao to the front.

"Manager Gao, my father was fine yesterday, why did he become like this today?"

Manager Gao was obviously also frightened, and he replied to Meng Tao tremblingly. "Back to the Seventh Prince, the emperor fell asleep after returning last night, according to usual, the emperor slept very shallowly, but today the sun shines on the third watch but there is no movement. It happened that General Murong came to report everything, so the old slave went to call the emperor to get up, but no matter what the old slave called, the emperor didn't react......"

Meng Tao carefully observed the emperor lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, and at first glance he looked as if he was asleep, but his face was glowing with an unnatural blue and purple.

Meng Yin listened to it and immediately asked the imperial doctor. "Can the doctor pass the pulse? What exactly is the reason? ”

The imperial doctor also looked embarrassed, but he promised for a long time. "Back to the words of the fifth prince, the emperor is in a coma due to poisoning, although it is not fatal, but Weichen is not proficient in learning, and he has not yet found out what kind of poisonous ...... it is."

"Rubbish!" Meng Yin couldn't help but kick the imperial doctor, kicked him far away, and fell to the ground with a loud "thump".

"Don't be impatient with the five princes, the top priority now is the emperor. If the Imperial Physician also falls, then there is really no one. "Manager Gao is not a person who has served the emperor for many years, and he immediately persuaded him politely to stop Meng Yin. Meng Tao felt sorry for the imperial doctor and hurriedly helped him up.

"Then the Imperial Doctor, how can I be good now!" Meng Tao's frowning eyebrows never relaxed.

Meng Yin only felt a wave of anger in his heart, and he became angry when he saw the useless imperial doctor. "Seventh brother, don't ask this waste! What a waste of time! ”

The imperial physician was obviously frightened, he glanced at Meng Yin's angry expression with an earthy face, and involuntarily took a few steps back, afraid of being angry again. "Wechen...... Maybe if you know what the poison came from, you can have some clues......"

As soon as he said this, the other four people in the tent fell silent for a moment, and fell into thought. Murong stroked his beard and guessed. "Could it be that someone poisoned yesterday's eating?"

As soon as the words fell, Manager Gao waved his hand again and again and said no. "General, this is absolutely impossible. Yesterday's meal, the emperor used the same wine and food as the ministers, even if the emperor's share was poisoned, the silver chopsticks could also be poisoned. So it's impossible, impossible. ”

"What kind of medicine has my father used lately?" Meng Tao asked with a deep groan.

Mr. Gao's complexion changed, obviously something was wrong. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he had to walk to the emperor's side, take out a palm-sized red wooden box from under his pillow, and hand it to the imperial doctor. "This is the elixir of longevity, and it is a prescription that the emperor got by chance. has been taking it for some years, and the emperor's body is indeed getting better and better with the naked eye, and the slave thinks that the problem is not here. ”

"Just in case, let's let the Imperial Doctor check it first." Murong Chui took out an elixir from it, and it was round and shiny, and it really felt like a panacea. He handed it to the Imperial Physician and commanded in a sharp voice. "Doctor, please take a good look. There is also the poisoning of the emperor, don't tell others, otherwise I'm afraid that the life of the imperial doctor will not be enough to compensate! He raised his eyebrows and glared at him, so that he was not angry and arrogant, so that the imperial doctor gave up his hand again and again, and he staggered out of the tent in fright.

Meng Yin felt that there were other reasons, if you really wanted to talk about eating, there was only one thing that was eaten by his father alone. "Could it be that the fish fairy?" His tone was firm, as if he recognized it. "Yesterday's fish and meat, only my father ate it, I think the problem is very likely to be here!"

He immediately reminded everyone with his words, and Murong lowered his eyes. "That's right! The appearance of this fish is also extremely weird, and it was easily caught by the next person, as if someone did it on purpose. Come! Immediately, a eunuch walked in from outside the tent and listened to Murong Chui's orders.

"The fish fairy that the emperor used yesterday, where is it now?"

"When I returned to the general, the minions felt that the fish had spirituality, so they buried it in the plain."

Murong Chui immediately sent people and other imperial doctors to follow the eunuchs and went to the plains to dig out the fish fairy to test his flesh. But Mr. Gao still wrinkled his face and didn't express his feelings.

"This ...... The slave just said that the emperor uses silver chopsticks, if the fish is poisonous, then it will naturally be seen. The minion privately thinks that this is not the reason. ”

"Then what does Mr. Gao think?" Meng Yin listened to Mr. Gao say no, and then say that it was not, and his heart was very angry, and now he felt that he was thinking wrong, and his tense brain became irritable in an instant. He waved his sleeves angrily and snorted coldly. "I have served my father for many years, and I have always worked hard and never had any problems. But now it is the negligence of your senior manager that has caused my father to lie in bed! With such a responsibility, how can you afford it, Mr. Gao! ”

Manager Gao's face turned pale, and the old man, who had passed the age of knowing his fate, immediately knelt on the ground, no matter who saw it, he felt sad. His head was pressed against the ground, and it looked like he was about to sink into the ground. The weak body shook vigorously, trembling like a sieve. He kept muttering, "Please spare the life of the fifth prince!" ”

"It's just the fifth prince, Weichen feels that Mr. Gao is loyal, and it is inevitable that he will be negligent." Murong Chui excused him, but replaced Meng Yin's eyes.

He had made up his mind to use it to establish his prestige.

"Manager Gao gets along with his father day and night, and it is very likely that he is the one who poisoned him. Someone! The head of Gao was detained first! As the words fell, the two guards standing outside the door walked in, and when they saw that it was Manager Gao, they looked at each other and didn't know what to do. Meng Yin frowned, raised his voice and commanded. "Manager Gao is an old minister of my Liang Kingdom, you should be gentle with your subordinates and let me out!"

The guards had their lives and didn't dare to disobey, so they had to say "offended" to Mr. Gao, and then one person took him out of the tent.

Meng Tao only spoke at this time. "Fifth brother, this ...... Doing too much? ”

"Ever? Where has it been? In my opinion, the people around my father are all suspicious. His tone was ambiguous, which made Murong can't help but look sideways, could it be that this stinky kid still wants to turn the spearhead to himself? However, it is unknown whether he thinks so, because the imperial doctor who went down just now will soon return.

He presented the crushed elixir to the three of them and said. "Wei Chen just checked, this pill has the effect of strengthening the body, and there is nothing suspicious."

"Then most of the problem is with the fish." Meng Tao also decided that the problem was with the fish, but the imperial doctor on the other side came back to tell him that everything was fine. Now it's like walking into a dead end, and there is no solution.

"How can this be ......" Meng Yin muttered to himself alone, all the roads were blocked.

At this time, a palace maid walked in, saluted the three of them, and asked. "I wonder if the emperor's breakfast needs to be presented?"

"Well, let's bring it in first." Murong Trai casually said perfunctorily. Then two palace maids with plates walked in, and put all the dishes on the plates on the table at the reception place. Murong Chui's gaze inadvertently fell on the spoon in the bowl of porridge, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked the palace maid.

"Who collects the tableware used by the emperor?"

"If you go back to the general, you will be guarded by a special palace person." Although the palace maid looked puzzled when asked, she still bowed her head and answered.

Meng Tao reacted immediately and whispered to Murong Chui. "Could it be that the general suspects that the problem is with the cutlery?"

He nodded, and had the man who guarded the cutlery be brought with him.

The man who took care of the cutlery was a middle-aged eunuch who held a wooden plate in his hand, and the door was filled with silver cutlery.

"Slaves, see the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and General Murong."

Murong Chui looked up and down, and in terms of appearance, he didn't look like a cunning person. "The emperor's tableware is in your care?"

"Yes, the minions have been guarding the dishes for more than ten years, and nothing has ever gone wrong!" There was a natural confidence on his face, and he couldn't see any other clues.

Murong Chui glanced at the imperial physician waiting beside him, and they immediately came over and examined the tableware one by one, which frightened the eunuch so much that he didn't dare to move.

A imperial doctor held the silver chopsticks in his hand, I don't know if it was due to Murong Chui's pressure, cold sweat broke out on his hand, and the smooth silver chopsticks slipped on his fingertips and fell to the ground. It's a trivial thing, but the strange thing is that the chopsticks are made of silver, and it should make a crisp sound when they land, but the sound of the chopsticks is slightly dull.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Meng Yin was the closest, he picked up the silver chopsticks and handed them to the eunuch and asked. "Look at these chopsticks, are they silver chopsticks?"

Although the eunuch didn't know what was going on at the moment, he faintly felt that something big was wrong. He trembled his hands, and the chopsticks handed over by Meng Yin. When the silver chopsticks touched his hand, his complexion immediately changed, and he immediately fell to his knees and shivered.

"Back to ...... Back to the words of the fifth prince...... This silver chopstick...... Insufficient portion...... I'm afraid I'm afraid it's ......" He stumbled and stumbled, and he was scared for a long time to say clearly, but even so, everyone understood that the problem was on this silver chopsticks.

Murong Chui took the silver chopsticks from him and held them with both hands. As soon as his arm was forced, the silver chopsticks were broken into two sections, and the middle should have been solid silver, but when he broke it, he found that the middle of the chopsticks was a blackened unknown thing. He broke the rest of the utensils, and there was something dark inside.

The imperial doctor took the chopsticks, looked at them carefully, and was instantly shocked.

"This is ...... This is mercury stone! The Imperial Doctor secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice trembled. Mercury stone is similar to silver, it is generally difficult to distinguish, and the only way to tell the difference is by looking at the weight. Although short-term exposure to mercury stone will not be a big problem, but once used for a long time, it will cause severe damage to people's nerves, first unable to remember things, then headache and dizziness, and slowly will be drowsy. And there are mandala seeds filled with crushed ones, which exacerbates the toxic volatilization. According to the emperor's condition, it is estimated that these chopsticks have been used for some time. ”

"What the imperial doctor said is right, I heard my father say that I can't remember things clearly." Meng Tao nodded in agreement.

Meng Yin also remembered this mention. "In the autumn of last year, my father always had a headache, and all the imperial doctors only felt that they were blown by the wind, and now it seems to be very strange!" He felt a chill in his heart, he didn't expect that this poison had been laid so long ago, and it had not been discovered for many years.

"Spare your life! Spare your life! After the eunuch listened, he immediately begged for mercy.

Murong Shui walked in front of him, his face expressionless. "Give you a chance to atone for your sins, think about it carefully, has anyone touched these utensils?"

The eunuch's eyes swayed from side to side, and the beads of sweat on the tip of his nose fell down one by one. "The minions really don't know! Although I take care of the tableware, but not only through the hands of the slaves, as soon as the emperor goes to the harem to eat, these tableware have to be sent over, and there are many people! ”

Seeing that he was useless, Murong Chui's face turned pale, and he had already taken care of the guilt of impropriety, and let people drag him down, and it was estimated that such a person would never be seen in the palace again.

After knowing that it was mercury, the imperial doctors had a clue, and they wrote out the prescription after a while. Although the matter has been resolved, Murong Trai is still not at ease, after all, the real prisoner has not been caught. What the eunuch said is not unreasonable, it seems that the person who poisoned him is in the emperor's harem.
