312 Suspected poisoning
Doctor Liu asked Xu Ke to bring back a medical book, which recorded various uncommon herbs and some poisons, and the old man marked several of them and asked him to bring them back for Qu Wurong to see.
There are seven or eight kinds of poisons that have been marked, and the appearance and characteristics of these poisons are recorded in detail in the medical books, as well as the symptoms that will occur after being taken by mistake, Qu Wurong carefully compared each of them, but found that the symptoms recorded on them did not completely match Shen Wuan, which really made it difficult for her to make an accurate judgment.
Seeing that she closed the medical book, Xu Kecai spoke again: "Doctor Liu said that if it does not match the emperor's symptoms, it may be that several poisons are mixed together, but the most important thing is to quickly find out what the emperor has eaten, drank, or touched before the onset of the disease. ”
"Yes, Lady Liu is right!" Qu Wurong was also concerned about the chaos, he didn't think of this at all, and after he reminded him like this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Then the investigation will be handed over to Commander Xu, if there is any news, please notify me as soon as possible, is it okay?" ”
Xu Ke nodded, "Yes, my subordinates will go and investigate!" ”
After explaining his related matters, Qu Wurong turned his head and asked Yangchun and Bai Xuedao: "Is the emperor's usual diet and daily life taken care of by the two of you personally?" ”
Yangchun and Bai Xue glanced at each other, "When the emperor returned to the Qinzheng Palace, the two of us served him closely, but in the past three years, he has spent most of his time in the imperial study during the day to deal with political affairs, and the two of us are not good to stay there for too long, so Xiao Shunzi is in charge." ”
"What about the little Shunzi?" Qu Wurong then remembered that he hadn't seen Xiao Shunzi until now, even if he was kicked out by Qu Wuwu, he should have heard the news and rushed over at this time!
The person who answered him was Yang Chun, "He has an urgent matter at home and has gone back." ”
Qu Wurong frowned slightly when he heard this, "Why did you go home at this time?" ”
"Mother, that's it." Seeing that her sisters couldn't even reply clearly, Bai Xue hurriedly helped explain, "Didn't Concubine An kick us out a few days ago?" A few of us stayed outside for a long time and couldn't come in, and it happened that Xiao Shunzi's family brought him a message, saying that there was an urgent matter at home, so he took leave and went home, saying that he would be back in a few days. ”
After listening to her words, Qu Wurong showed a clear expression, but quickly frowned again, "Now that time is pressing, we can't wait for him to come back from home, we have to quickly find him back and ask about the situation!" ”
"Then I'll go talk to Commander Xu now and ask him to send someone to get Xiao Shunzi back." Yang Chun said and turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.
When he was about to walk out of the dormitory, Qu Wurong suddenly stopped her, "If Commander Xu really can't muster manpower, then you can go to the Rui Palace, inform Marquis Anle, and ask him to send someone to find Xiao Shunzi to come back." ”
To investigate Shen Wu'an's recent diet and what he has been exposed to, it is a very huge project, and the safety of the palace still needs to be guarded, and the people Xu Ke can mobilize are actually very limited.
Yangchun nodded, "Okay, I see!" ”
Just as Qu Wurong guessed in his heart, it was not a simple matter to investigate all the things that Shen Wu'an had been in contact with for a period of time before the onset of his illness, especially the diet, every time he used the leftovers after the meal, there would be a special eunuch responsible for collecting them, and then transporting them to the outside of the palace, flowing to many different places, and it was really difficult to find out.
Xu Ke also understood that time was pressing, and it was too late for such a large-scale investigation, so he asked all the people in the imperial dining room to be isolated and interrogated them one by one, hoping to get any clues from these people's mouths.
And in this way, the movement became even more disturbing, and in less than half a day, the entire palace was panicked, for fear that he would accidentally cause some trouble.
When Qi Jun came back from vacation the next day, he heard about it as soon as he entered the palace gate. The day before, he went out to meet friends, so the people sent by Xu Ke to look for him were in vain, and after he returned home, he heard the family say that someone in the palace had come to look for him, but he didn't say what it was for.
Qi Jun thought it was not a big deal, so he didn't take it to heart, and didn't enter the palace on an errand until this morning, who knew that he heard such a shocking news, so he didn't even dare to enter the Tai Hospital, and hurriedly came to Shou'an Palace.
After Qu Wuwu was taken out of the Qinzheng Palace that day, he was placed under house arrest in his own palace, guarded by guards specially arranged by Xu Ke outside, she had no way to leave Shou'an Palace for half a step, and naturally it was impossible to inform Qi Jun not to return to the palace for the time being, and to avoid it elsewhere first, so she was not surprised when she saw him appear in front of her in a panic.
"Mother, what happened yesterday?" As soon as Qi Jun stepped into the Shou'an Palace, he couldn't wait to ask, "When Weichen entered the palace, how did he hear about what Xu Ke came into contact with a few days ago?" ”
Qu Wuwu glanced at him angrily, "If he likes to check, let him check it, what does it have to do with you?" You are so flustered, others know that you have a ghost in your heart at a glance, do you wish he found something? ”
"Of course Weichen didn't mean that!" Seeing that she was still looking like she was in a good place, Qi Jun's flustered heart calmed down a little, it seems that Xu Ke should not have found anything yet, otherwise the person in front of him would not be so calm and calm, "Weichen is just afraid of ......"
"Afraid of what?" Before he could finish speaking, Qu Wuwu interrupted him loudly, "You don't have to be afraid of anything, we have done a very secret job in this matter, and it is impossible for them to find out!" ”
For the sake of safety, the bottle of medicine that Hua Shi found at the beginning, Qu Wuwu deliberately asked Qi Jun to re-improve it, this matter is only known to the two of them, as long as they don't say it, others will not be able to find out, which is why she doesn't feel nervous at all.
Her words were very good at calming Qi Jun's flustered heart, and he calmed down and said, "By the way, yesterday the people from the Imperial Forest Army went to the house to find Weichen. ”
Qu Wuwu frowned slightly when he heard this, "Then what did you tell them?" ”
"No, Wechen didn't say anything!" Qi Jun hurriedly cleared his mind, "Wei Chen went out to meet his friends early yesterday morning, and there was no one who saw them at all!" Wechen was just afraid that they would continue to ask me for questioning today, so I specially told my mother! ”
"Hmm." Hearing him say this, Qu Wuwu was finally relieved, "You remember, if they ask you, you will say that the emperor's dragon body is fine, and he will come to his senses in a few days." ”
It's not a lie when she says this, Shen Wu'an will indeed wake up in a few days, but after waking up, Shen Wu'an is no longer the same Shen Wu'an as before.
Qi Jun didn't seem to agree with her statement, "But Wei Chen thinks that they must have already found other imperial doctors to treat the emperor, if Wei Chen's words are different from other imperial doctors, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of those people." ”
It makes sense for him to say this, Qu Wuwu frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Then you can go back to the Tai Hospital first, and think about probing the tone of other Tai Doctors, and when the time comes, just talk to them in the same way." ”
"Wechen thinks so too." Qi Jun nodded, this is the only way to clear the suspicion at the moment, "If Niangniang has no other instructions, then Weichen will retire first." ”
Qu Wuwu looked at him, with a hint of threat in his tone, "You can't get out of this matter, if you show any horses and feet to be discovered by them, then this palace can't save you, you'd better remember it firmly for this palace!" ”
"Yes, yes, Weichen will definitely be very careful!" Qi Jun nodded again and again.
Seeing that he was still quite knowledgeable, Qu Wuwu showed a satisfied expression on his face, waved his hand at him and said, "Then you can retreat first, don't run to the palace if you have nothing to do, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”
"Yes, Weichen retires!" Qi Jun bowed and saluted, and then left Shou'an Palace.
Watching his figure disappear outside the hall, Qu Wuwu took a sip of the tea in his hand, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: Qu Wurong, if you have the ability, just check it, anyway, as long as the last few days pass, you will have no chance to turn over at all, and then the palace will definitely let you realize what it means to be "life is better than death"!
After Qi Jun left Shou'an Palace, he wanted to go back to the Tai Hospital, but unfortunately he was stopped by someone as soon as he walked halfway, it was Xu Ke, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he looked at Qi Jun carefully, and then looked at the direction he had just walked over, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a slight smile, "Since you happened to meet Imperial Doctor Qi, then you don't have to go back to the Imperial Hospital, come with me to meet the concubine Niangniang first." ”
"Concubine Niangniang?" Qi Jun showed a puzzled look on his face, he was only selected to be a doctor in the Tai Hospital after Qu Wurong left, so he was naturally not very familiar with this title.
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Xu Ke didn't want to explain clearly to him, just waved his hand casually and said, "You'll understand when you see her later." ”
Hearing him say this, although Qi Jun was very reluctant in his heart, he could only follow him hard, not that there was no way to shirk this matter, but in this way, it seemed that he was very weak-hearted.
On the way to the Qinzheng Palace, Qi Jun was thinking about how he should deal with these people's interrogations later, after all, he hadn't had time to go back to the Tai Hospital to find other Tai Doctor tricks, if he accidentally said something wrong, it would bring trouble to him!
It's a pity that until he followed Xu Ke into the Qinzheng Palace, he still didn't come up with a suitable set of words, and he even thought that he would simply find a chance to escape, but this idea was denied by him as soon as it appeared, which not only confirmed that he had a ghost in his heart, but also implicated Qu Wuwu, who was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Thinking of what she threatened herself just now, Qi Jun had no doubt that if something happened, she would definitely put all the blame on herself, and then he would be covered with a mouth, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly!
No matter what, you have to keep this secret!
When he thought about this, Xu Ke, who was leading the way in front, had already stopped, and only heard him say: "Guifei Niangniang, this is the Imperial Doctor Qi who Concubine An invited to treat the emperor." ”
