Chapter 167: Poisoned, Disabled?
Qiu Manhua's medicine was very domineering, Zhirong's hands and feet were stiff at this time, dizzy, and his movements were very slow, and it was not easy to walk in front of Wei Shanggong.
Wei Shanggong was already displeased when he saw her slowly soaring pace, but he didn't say anything, but ordered his grandmother to test Zhirong's etiquette. Mama stepped forward and faced Zhirong, "Kneel!" ”
Zhirong can still support the regular kneeling at this time, but this kneeling is very weak, and her hands and feet are weak, and she has the idea of lying on the ground and not falling asleep. She tried hard to cheer up, and kept thinking in her heart not to fall,
"First, bow down!" Mama said.
In the first bow, Zhirong could still stand up straight, the second bow was already shaky, and in the third bow, she couldn't find the direction clearly, and the next moment she got up, beads of sweat on her head ran down her cheeks. She felt that her eyes were dark and she couldn't support it anymore.
With a pop, Zhirong fell to the ground, and Mama hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that her breath was normal, but she just fainted, but she couldn't wake up, Wei Shanggong immediately sent someone to carry her into the inner room and sent someone to the medical department to ask a female medical officer to come and have a look.
After this scene happened, the surrounding candidates, except Qiu Manhua, were all shocked, and they whispered a lot of discussions below. Wei Shanggong was also surprised, in fact, she had also heard her niece Wei Ting mention Zhirong, and she had been paying attention to this child since the day of the pilgrimage, at that time Zhirong was dignified and magnificent, she felt that it was indeed as her niece said, this is a good woman who can become a climate.
But it was really unexpected that Zhirong made such a big mistake in the first exam, and her performance just now was already very full of her, and fainting at this time was a great disrespect to the exam monk palace.
"Oh, Zhirong was really scared!" At this time, Qiu Manhua, who was closest to him, spoke.
Wei Shanggong asked, "How do you know that she fainted in fright?" "In Wei Shanggong's impression, Zhirong is not a coward, and it really doesn't make sense to faint after a test.
Qiu Manhua said seriously: "Don't dare to hide it from Lord Shanggong, just Zhirong is talking with me and waiting for the exam, her voice is a little trembling, saying that she has not been serious in her practice in the past few days, and she is afraid that she will be punished if she does not do well in the exam." "Qiu Manhua told a lie, so that his face did not change and his heart did not beat.
"Oh? Did she say that? You're the only one who hears it? Wei Shanggong's face changed, obviously not believing Qiu Manhua's words, she had been in this Shanggong Bureau for some years. How can you listen to one side of the story?
At this time, Xu Ping, a cultivation student, stepped forward and saluted and said respectfully: "Lord Shanggong, I also heard some words like being afraid, but the students didn't care at that time. ”
Qiu Manhua speaks alone and does not count. But when someone else hears it, it's different. This Xu Ping is the second lady of Xu Shangshu's family, and everyone believes what she says.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Zhi Yao also stepped forward and said: "Lord Hui Shanggong, my third sister is the least courageous one at home, but she definitely didn't do it intentionally, please forgive me." "The bad ones have to say. But in the eyes of others, after all, it is a sister's plea, others don't say it, but she has to say it, and the sister must look like a sister if she doesn't pretend to be.
Wei Shanggong no longer asked Qiu Manhua at this time, but asked Mama and the palace maid to carry Zhirong to the inner room. If you just faint because you are frightened, you can give it a chance to retake the exam. It's just that she is afraid that she will be ridiculed or bullied by everyone in the future, and weakness in the Shanggong Bureau is the biggest weakness, and the weakest people will be trampled on.
"Wait for the doctor to come and check her pulse, the weather is so hot, maybe it's heat stroke." She always felt that Zhirong's fainting had nothing to do with fright.
The medical department heard that someone had fainted and didn't care, so they only sent a little doctor girl over, and the little girl carefully checked the pulse for Zhirong, and then frowned: "Lord Shanggong, she is not suffering from heat stroke." Instead, he was given acute medicine, but with his subordinate medical skills, he couldn't find out what kind of drug it was, so he had to ask the doctor in the medical department to come over. ”
Wei Shanggong was stunned: "You mean she was poisoned?" "I was drugged just a few days ago, it seems that this girl has offended the people in the palace.
"It is not known whether Lord Hui was poisoned, but her pulse is stable, and it can be determined that there is no damage to the five organs and heart veins. Dare to ask the adults what this woman has eaten or drunk? The reason may be found out. The little doctor girl checked Zhirong again, very puzzled.
This is difficult, all the students get up early to eat breakfast and then come to the main hall for the exam, and because it is an exam, there is no tea and pastries in the hall, which is also deliberately done by Wei Shanggong in order to test the endurance of everyone. However, if you can't find out what Zhirong is ingesting, you can't be sure what kind of drug she has been in.
Qiu Manhua frowned, and then said to Wei Shanggong as if he suddenly remembered something: "My lord, I drank tea with a little palace maid with Zhirong before. And then that's what she did! ”
After a pause, she screamed, "Poisoned? Oh, my God! Qiu Manhua stepped forward with a loud shout, "Please ask the doctor to see if I have also been drugged." ”
The medicine girl took her pulse and smiled slightly: "Girl, you seem to have an elixir to protect your body, it's okay." "Many people from large families in the capital often take anti-poison pills. Although it is not immune to all poisons, it can resist some poisons. However, this elixir is extremely valuable, and only a few major families and powerful families such as the Qiu family can afford to use it, and it is generally only given to the children of the concubines.
"Yes, I just used one a month before I entered the palace, and I am the only one who uses the sisters in our house." Qiu Manhua's tone was full of natural pride, and at this time, she did not forget to remind everyone of her noble status as the only daughter of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. And the effect of this sentence is also very ideal, and some of the women who came from other places or from small families in the capital are really talking and envious again. There were even respectful glances. And some of those who are comparable to her pouts and sneered.
"What about the two cups of tea?" Wei Shanggong asked hurriedly, she didn't have time to study Qiu Manhua's identity, everyone was the same with her.
"The student didn't know, after we drank it, we gave the tea set to the palace maid, and now we can only find the little palace maid." Qiu Manhua said that she shed tears and cried with a whimper, "My lord, Zhirong is a very good person, you must save her, that cup is the same celadon style, we all take it at will, if I don't have it, but I want to protect my body, I'm afraid it will be the same as her." ”
In the Ming Law Department, he openly drugged the students, which was a slap in the face of the Ming Law Department, and Wei Shanggong had to find out about the matter no matter what. But after looking around, I couldn't find a celadon style tea set.
"Do you remember that palace maid?" Wei Shanggong asked solemnly, and Qiu Manhua's last sentence reminded her that since the two cups of tea were the same cup, it might be her who was the one who drugged it.
Qiu Manhua wiped her tears and nodded, "Student remembers." ”
So. Wei Shanggong called all the palace maids of the Ming Law Department to let Qiu Manhua identify them one by one, and the palace maids in the palace all eliminated and finally found out a mediocre-looking little uterine girl, Qiu Manhua said loudly: "Lord Shanggong is her!" ”
"She?" Although the Ming Law Department is large and has many personnel, Wei Shanggong's memory is particularly good. Even if it was a girl who burned the fire, she would also remember, she glared angrily: "Kneel!" How did you get into the main hall as a palace maid, and who instructed you to poison you? ”
Only then did everyone know that this little girl was just a lowly-level palace maid and was not qualified to enter the main hall.
The little palace maid kowtowed again and again: "The slave just saw that the two young ladies were thirsty, so she went to pour two cups of tea." ”
Smack. Wei Shanggong slapped his palm on the table fiercely, "It's nonsense, if you don't say it, I will hand you over to the Criminal Law Bureau, dozens of sets of torture instruments will not die or live, do you want to suffer or say it now?" ”
The women below all gasped fiercely, the Criminal Law Department is not a place to play around, the Ming Law Department specializes in formulating and managing palace rules and palace laws, and is responsible for restraining the behavior of people in the palace and has the right to deal with it, while the Criminal Law Department is specifically responsible for torture and interrogation, and those torture instruments will sound chilling.
"Slave. The slave maid is a last resort, please forgive the slave maid! The little girl was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and she kowtowed and cried. The slave's mother was seriously ill and had no money to see a doctor, so she took the money and drugged the tea, and took the opportunity to come in, but the slave didn't know that it was poison! ”
"Who's that man?" Wei Shanggong asked sharply.
However, the little palace maid kept trembling and refused to say more. "The slave doesn't know, I don't know, Shang Gong spares his life, and the slave and maid are wronged." The little girl was already incoherent at this time, and now she is still shouting wronged.
Wei Shanggong didn't want to talk to her too much. "It seems that I don't see Huang He's heart not dead, come here, stop her mouth, don't let her kill herself and pressure her to go to the Criminal Law Department! You are overseeing it. Until the result of the question comes to me! ”
The little palace maid was so frightened that she cried and shouted for mercy, but she was quickly gagged by her grandmother and taken away.
At this time, the chief doctor of the medical department had already come, and the person who came was Wei Ting, who had gone to ask Concubine Wen for peace before. As soon as I returned to the medical office, I heard that Zhirong had been poisoned, and she hadn't woken up yet, so she hurried over. She doesn't feel at ease letting others come, and she knows Zhirong's physique better.
After she asked Wei Shanggong for peace, she immediately cut Zhirong's pulse, "Silver needle!" The apprentice hurriedly brought a set of silver needles and handed it to her, and saw that she quickly picked up a set of silver needles and pierced Zhirong's body, and after a while, the whole body was pierced, and she also broke out in a cold sweat.
The people who use poison are too ruthless!
"My lord, she was infected with a southern Xinjiang poison, this poison is colorless and tasteless, and it will not kill people, and the initial state of the body is stiff and then seems to faint, but if it is not treated in time, it will cause disability."
As soon as she said this, everyone's hearts were also clear, if a person became disabled, it would be impossible to continue to stay in the Shanggong Bureau, and it would become a lifelong disease. And Zhirong still relied on embroidery to enter the palace, even if a finger abolished her future would end here.
Wei Shanggong didn't expect that someone would be poisoned like this, looking at the woman on the couch who might become disabled, she was extremely angry. Using this kind of subordinate means to get rid of competitors is too vicious, and such a person will be a disaster in the palace sooner or later, and he will definitely find out.
"Is she okay now?"
Wei Ting sighed and shook her head: "I don't know how much she eats, I have used the most effective method to detoxify and invigorate her blood, and the result depends on her luck." ”
Wei Shanggong sighed deeply, his niece's medical skills can already be compared with the Dashang Palace of the Medical Department, and he can also mention Shanggong next year. And she always goes to the frontier, and there are many kinds of poisons, so it seems that Zhirong can only resign herself to fate. "Come on, go and tell the Commander-in-Chief Shang Gong word for word about this matter!"
Qiu Manhua changed her compassionate expression at this time: "Master Doctor, you must save her, she is from Kaizhou, and there is no enemy in the capital, how can someone want to harm her, someone must have the intention to harm me, so she was affected!" After that, he went to wipe his tears again.
For her kind of eldest lady's fake kindness, Wei Ting sneered in her heart, and only said lightly on the surface: "No matter who it is, I will do my best to heal." ”
Qiu Manhua snorted coldly in her heart, she was just a medical girl, even if she was about to become a Shang Gong, her family background was still inferior to herself.
Zhiyao didn't expect things to become what they are now, but this is another opportunity for her to show her face.
"Adult, please save my little sister, my third sister has lost her mother since she was a child, she has been looked down upon since she was a child, and she is not able to understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is already very pitiful, what if she becomes a cripple again." Zhi Yao smiled secretly, saying this, Zhi Rong is a low person in the eyes of everyone, and when the time comes, she doesn't need to do anything, and others will bully Zhi Rong. Of course, she would have preferred that her sister be crippled, that would have been easier.
Looking at Zhirong who was sleeping on the couch, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, this is simply God helping her, from now on, there will only be one girl from the Bai family in this Shanggong Bureau.
It was useless for people to stay here, Wei Shanggong dispersed everyone, leaving only the medical department and his own personal people. The silver needle had been through the acupoint for almost an hour, and she couldn't continue, so Wei Ting had no choice but to take off the silver needle and use other methods.
Zhirong's pulse has improved, and it can be judged that he has not eaten much, but it is impossible for people to rest assured if they don't wake up, and they can't give up.
The Ming Law Department is very busy here, and the Medical Department is also busy boiling medicine and sending it, and the Criminal Law Department is still interrogating the prisoners. Everyone in the palace knew about it, and the consul general Shang Gong also came to see Zhirong and asked Wei Shanggong and Wei Ting about the situation. and the consul Shang Gong reported to the two concubines.
Somewhere in the palace, a woman dressed elegantly but without losing her luxury was leisurely half lying on the couch reading a book, her charm was so cold and did not lose her feminine charm, which can be described as a peerless elegance.
"Niangniang, I heard that the practice hasn't woken up yet, I'm afraid I'm going to be crippled if I continue like this. The adults of the Shanggong Bureau will not sleep tonight. The slave maid heard that no one is allowed to enter the Shanggong Bureau except for the emperor and the two concubines! A palace maid dressed in the clothes of a high-class palace maid knelt on the ground and said while gently beating her legs.
The woman still looked at the book intently, "It's a good thing that you can't get in, and it will save you a lot of trouble." The medicine put the heaviest material, even a little bit of her, she is also disabled, Wei Ting can't save it! It's also thanks to Qiu Manhua's selfish desires that she can be ruthless and implicate the innocent, otherwise our princess really can't get out of this breath, she should be happy now, and there will be another good show tomorrow. ”
Her voice was faint and soft, ethereal but extremely cold, as if she was talking about something completely irrelevant. (To be continued.) )
PS: I didn't go home for two days, I was already tired, and the children who didn't save the manuscript were even more bitter
