313 Cross-examination (1)
When Xu Ke took Qi Jun to the Qinzheng Palace, Qu Wurong was personally scrubbing Shen Wu'an on the bed, and when he heard this, he handed the handkerchief in his hand to Bai Xue, and turned around to look at the strange young imperial doctor in front of him.
"Let's go out and talk." After looking at it for a moment, she suddenly spoke.
Seeing her take the lead towards the outside of the hall, Qi Jun also hurriedly followed her to the outer hall, "I don't know what the noble concubine Niangniang summoned Weichen to come for?" ”
"What do you say?" Qu Wurong glanced back at him when he heard this, and asked without answering.
Such a fluttering question made Qi Jun sweat in his heart, and at the same time felt remorse for his presumptuous inquiry just now, but the words he said were like water spilled out, and it was even more difficult to take it back, so he could only reply stubbornly, "Weichen doesn't know." ”
Hearing him say this, Qu Wurong didn't get angry, sat down on the chair next to him and said, "I heard that the emperor has been diagnosed and treated by you for the past few days, so can you tell me, what kind of disease does the emperor have?" ”
"This ......" Qi Jun hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer, until she asked again, and then she barely stabilized her mind and replied, "If you go back to the concubine Niangniang, there is nothing wrong with the emperor's pulse, Weichen guesses that it is caused by long-term overwork, and I believe that it will be cured after a few days of rest." ”
He wasn't completely lying, Shen Wu'an's pulse was indeed like a normal person, even if other imperial doctors came to diagnose and treat him, he believed that he would come to the same conclusion, but the reason for this symptom, he was casually talking nonsense, after all, he couldn't tell the truth.
"Oh? Is it? Hearing his answer, Qu Wurong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he didn't debunk his lies, "Then according to what Imperial Doctor Qi saw, when will the emperor wake up?" ”
I didn't expect her to believe in herself so easily, Qi Jun felt a sense of happiness in his heart for the rest of his life, and he didn't speak as cautiously as he did just now, "Maybe three or five more days." ”
"I don't know who Doctor Qi is from?" Qu Wurong suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
Qi Jun was stunned by her question, but still replied truthfully: "Wechen's family has practiced medicine for generations, and Wechen has studied medicine with his grandfather and father since he was a child. ”
Qu nodded indistinctly, "Okay, I see!" After speaking, she paused for a moment, and then combined and said, "There is nothing for you to do here, Imperial Doctor Qi will go back first." ”
"Yes!" Hearing this, a big stone in Qi Jun's heart finally fell to the ground, and after bowing to her, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the Qinzheng Palace.
When his figure disappeared completely, Qu Wurong raised his head and asked Xu Ke beside him, "What do you think?" ”
"The subordinates think that there must be something wrong with this Qi Jun!" Xu Ke replied truthfully.
When Qu Wurong asked Qi Jun just now, Xu Ke deliberately observed the look on Qi Jun's face, although he had tried his best to calm down, but some subtle expressions still could not escape Xu Ke's eyes, and the flash of weakness and nervousness Xu Ke saw very clearly.
"I think so too." Qu Wurong nodded approvingly, "Idea, let him tell the truth!" ”
"Yes!"
After talking about Qi Jun, Qu Wurong turned to ask about another matter, "How did you check the things that the emperor has been exposed to recently?" Did you find anything? ”
Xu Ke shook his head gently, "Not yet." ”
"Then let's stop." Hearing his words, Qu Wurong thought for a while and said, "I think the problem is that the person just now, you still have to keep an eye on his every move, and have the idea of prying open his mouth, I believe there will be a lot of gains!" ”
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it!" Xu Ke was about to leave as he spoke, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by Qu Wurong, "What else does Niangniang have to say?" ”
"The emperor has been in a coma for three days, and we don't have much time left, so you must move quickly!" Qu Wurong looked at him and solemnly instructed, "If you find out the truth one day earlier, the emperor will be able to wake up one day earlier, I am afraid that if this continues, it will damage his dragon body." ”
Xu Ke nodded, "Subordinates understand!" ”
On the other hand, after receiving the news from Yangchun, An Lehou immediately sent someone to Xiao Shunzi's hometown to look for someone, but fortunately, that place was not far from Tiandu City, and the people sent out found Xiao Shunzi at home in less than half a day.
And after Xiao Shunzi heard the news of the concubine's return to the palace, he couldn't sit still at home, and after saying goodbye to his parents and brothers, he hurried to Tiandu City with the people sent by An Lehou to find him.
followed him into the palace, as well as An Lehou and Qu Yizhu and his wife, they just heard Yangchun say that something happened in the palace, but they didn't have time to talk about what was going on, so after Xiao Shunzi was picked up, they followed into the palace to ask what was going on.
"Sister, what the hell is going on?" As soon as he entered the door, Qu Yizhu couldn't wait to ask.
Qu Wurong put Shen Wu'an unconscious three days ago, and she and Old Lady Liu both suspected that the emperor was poisoned, so they told them as they were.
"What?" After hearing her words, An Lehou and Qu Yizhu were both stunned, "How could such a thing happen suddenly?" What about the emperor now? You won't be in danger of getting sick, will you? ”
"It's not clear yet." Qu Wurong shook his head gently, "I've been investigating this matter with Commander Xu for the past two days, and I'm already a little eyebrow at this time, I believe it won't be long before we know what's going on!" ”
Qu Yizhu was silent for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly asked, "Sister, will this matter have anything to do with Qu Wuwu?" ”
"To be honest, I think so too." Only when facing her can Qu Wurong say what is in his heart, "But we haven't found evidence yet, so we can't make a conclusion!" ”
Hearing her say this, Qu Yizhu didn't say anything anymore, just held her hand and comforted: "Sister, don't worry too much, the emperor is a true dragon emperor, he will be fine!" ”
"Hmm." Qu Wurong nodded, and suddenly asked as if he remembered something, "By the way, have you found Xiao Shunzi?" ”
When she asked like this, Qu Yizhu remembered another purpose for entering the palace, "I found it, I'm waiting outside the palace, I'll go and call him in!" ”
Soon, Xiao Shunzi walked in with her, and after entering the hall, she first saluted Qu Wurong, "The slave has seen the concubine!" ”
"Get up." Qu Wurong waved his hand at him, "I have something to ask you, you have to answer me honestly!" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Shunzi nodded and responded, "If the concubine has anything to say, just ask, the slave will definitely know everything!" ”
Qu Wurong showed a satisfied expression on his face, "Okay, you carefully recall, in the recent period, has the emperor been exposed to anything special?" ”
"Something special?" Xiao Shunzi raised his head and thought about it, and shook his head, "No, the emperor stays in the imperial study every day in addition to the morning court, and the most contact is only the folds presented by the adults in the court, and there is nothing special." ”
Of course, Qu Wurong didn't think that anyone would do anything with the fold, after all, when the fold was presented to Shen Wu'an, it had already passed through the hands of many people, if someone really made a fuss about it, then Shen Wu'an would definitely not be the only one who had an accident!
Thinking of this, she then asked, "What about the diet?" Did you eat any special food? ”
As soon as her words fell, she saw Xiao Shunzi's head shaking like a rattle, "There will be no problem with the emperor's diet, every time before eating, the slave will personally test the poison for the emperor, if someone really drugs the imperial diet, then the slave will definitely be the first to be poisoned!" ”
His answer was also expected by Qu Wurong, after all, Shen Wu'an's safety was related to the entire Great Liang Dynasty, and the people who took care of his usual diet and daily life were careful and careful, and it was not that anyone could drug him casually!
So what went wrong?
Just when she was clueless, she suddenly heard Xiao Shunzi scream "ah", Qu Wurong raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw his expression of sudden realization, so he asked, "What?" Got something in mind? ”
"Well, the minion remembered!" Xiao Shunzi nodded heavily, "Just a few days before the emperor's illness, Concubine An Niangniang would send supplements almost every day, although she used to send things to the emperor from time to time, but it was not as frequent as those days. ”
After listening to his words, Qu Wurong's face sank, "Are you sure?" ”
"The minion dares to vouch for his head, this thing is true!" After thinking about it, the expression on Xiao Shunzi's face became firm, "The emperor's meals on weekdays are only those things sent by Concubine An, and the slave has not tried poisoning beforehand, so the slave thinks that if the emperor is really poisoned, I am afraid that it will be inseparable from those supplements!" ”
His words made Qu Wurong's face even more ugly, remembering his abnormal appearance when he interrogated Qi Jun before, coupled with what Qu Wuwu did after Shen Wu'an's illness, she was almost sure that this matter was done by Qu Wurong!
"Sister......" Seeing her suddenly stand up and walk outside, Qu Yizhu hurriedly stopped her, "Are you going to find her?" ”
Qu Wurong nodded, "The emperor's time is running out, I must ask her to hand over the medicine quickly, so that the imperial doctors can prepare an antidote to save the emperor." ”
"But based on Xiao Shunzi's words alone, we don't have more evidence, if you pass like this, she won't admit it, right?" Qu Yizhu said with some concern.
"Then I'm going to try it too!" At this time, Qu Wurong can't take care of so much, Shen Wu'an is in a coma for one more day, and she can't take any more risks!
Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind, Qu Yizhu glanced at her husband, and then continued: "Then I'll go with my sister." ”
"No need." Qu Wurong shook his head and rejected her suggestion, "It's useless for you to go, just wait for my news here, and help me take care of the emperor and Li'er by the way." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Watching her figure disappear outside the door, Qu Yizhu looked at the people around her a little worriedly, "Husband, do you think Qu Wuwu will admit that he did it himself?" ”
An Lehou grabbed her shoulders and soothed: "Don't worry, my sister should have a way to ask something from her mouth, let's wait here for news first, if it really doesn't work, it's not too late to think of other ways!" ”
Hearing him say this, Qu Yizhu had no choice but to suppress his worries for the time being, "Okay." ”
