Excluding the Nian family, the Nala clan is the most suspicious one, the princes other than Hongshi are the objects she wants to get rid of, if this time it is true that he instructed Hongli to poison the dew, then he can get rid of the two princes in one fell swoop, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Hongsheng must not die, only Hongsheng is alive, and he and Hongli have the possibility of clearing their grievances. Thinking of this, Ling Ruo hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, the life of the third elder brother is the most important thing, who poisoned it can be investigated later, but the situation of the third elder brother must not be delayed any longer, please let Imperial Doctor Xu go in for diagnosis and treatment." In the past, the emperor's epidemic was also treated by Imperial Doctor Xu, and you should know best what his medical skills are. ”

Nala said lightly: "The higher the medical skills, the higher the means of harming people, and the concubines have heard that there are people in the rivers and lakes who can put people to death without moving." Right now, Imperial Doctor Qi is thinking of a way inside, maybe he can save the third elder brother; But if Imperial Physician Xu went, what would be the result, the concubine would not dare to guarantee it. ”

"The queen said this, but it was determined that the concubine and Imperial Doctor Xu colluded to murder the third elder brother?" The more the Nala clan didn't let Rong Yuan go for treatment, the more suspicious Ling Ruo's heart became.

Nala said with a sympathetic face: "This palace doesn't want to make this doubt, it's just that it is about the life of the third elder brother, this palace has to be cautious, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." ”

"The queen said that Imperial Physician Qi is trying to figure out a way, but as far as the concubine knows, Imperial Physician Qi is no longer able to think about it, and Imperial Physician Xu is the most hopeful queen." Speaking of this, Ling Ruo kowtowed vigorously and said, "Please ask the emperor to put San'a's life first." ”

"Would you be that kind?" Under Nala's repeated hints, Nian didn't believe a word Ling Ruo said at all, and stubbornly believed that she was the murderer.

Yin Zhen stared at Ling Ruo's eyes silently, and after a long time, he said in a complicated manner: "Let him in." ”

Seeing that Yinzhen listened to his words, Ling Ruo cried with joy, and kowtowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

On the other side, Rong Yuan thanked him and walked into the inner hall quickly, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a smell of herbs mixed with a fishy smell in the air.

Looking at the situation in the hall again, I saw that Imperial Physician Qi and the others were standing helplessly beside the bed, and the blood on Hongsheng's fingers had stopped, but the black qi on his face was even worse, and even the bottom of his neck was blue-black.

"Imperial Doctor Qi, how is the third elder brother?" Rong Yuan walked up and asked.

"It's not good, I'm afraid it's hopeless." Imperial Physician Qi replied only to realize that there was one more person beside him, and when he turned his head and saw that it was Rong Yuan, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, Imperial Physician Xu, why are you here?" Although Rong Yuan is no longer a doctor, everyone in the palace is still used to being called him.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Rong Yuan put his finger on Hongsheng's wrist as he spoke, and when he turned over Hongsheng's wrist, he happened to see the wound on his fingertip, "You guys are bleeding and testing for drugs?" ”

"Yes, it's a pity that I tried all the possible herbs, but none of them worked, only one forsythia could slightly delay the onset of toxicity, but the effect was not obvious." Imperial Physician Qi said with some shame, he had studied medicine for decades, and he was quite confident in his medical skills, and he couldn't imagine that he was now stumped by a poison of unknown origin.

When Imperial Physician Qi spoke, Rong Yuan had already finished diagnosing the pulse, "Borrow a silver needle." ”

"Quick, get the silver needle." Hearing this, Imperial Physician Qi perked up, and hurriedly ordered someone to take the silver needle, and after Rong Yuan inserted the silver needle into several large acupoints around Hongsheng's body one by one in a unique way, he asked, "Imperial Doctor Xu, do you have a way to detoxify?" ”

"I can't guarantee it, but when I'm out there, I've seen a poison similar to this one, and I'm lucky enough to get rid of it." In any case, Rong Yuan's words made Imperial Physician Qi and the others, who were already desperate, once again raise a glimmer of hope.

Hongsheng is the elder brother, if he dies, it will be very troublesome, and their hospital will also be held accountable for the crime of ineffective treatment, although it will not be buried with him, but punishment and demotion are absolutely inevitable.

Imperial Physician Qi urged: "Since there is a way, please also ask Imperial Physician Xu to do his best, and we will definitely do our best to assist." ”

"Okay." Rong Yuan was not hypocritical, and reported several medicines one after another, asking them to go to the imperial pharmacy to get them quickly, these medicines are strange and rarely used, thanks to the complete medicinal materials in the imperial pharmacy, otherwise it will be really difficult to get together for a while.

Except for a small part to be fried, the rest was placed in a large wooden barrel filled with water, and then four strong eunuchs were ordered to stand around, wrap the bucket with rope, and lift it up with a stick. The bottom of the fire is boiled in an iron pot, and after it is a little cool, Hongsheng takes off his clothes and socks, puts the whole person in it, and then rekindles the fire, so that the palace people pay careful attention to the fire, so that the water in the bucket is kept in an extremely hot attitude.

As for the four eunuchs who carried the bucket, they could not move a single step, otherwise the water in the barrel would be cold, and it would have no effect.

Among them, the imperial pharmacy sent the decoction of the medicine over, because Hongsheng was unconscious and couldn't take the medicine, so he only reluctantly poured a small half bowl into it.

Imperial Physician Qi knew in his heart that Rong Yuan was using the method of barrel steaming to separate the poison in Hongsheng's body from the body, and this method was the best way to drive away the poison that spread throughout the body, but if the wrong medicine was used, it would make the poison explode at high temperatures.

However, seeing that the blue and black on Hongsheng's face gradually receded, Rong Yuan's medicine should have had an effect, and when he saw that Hongsheng's blue and black were almost invisible, Imperial Doctor Qi said: "Imperial Doctor Xu, is it okay?" ”

Rong Yuan re-checked his lower pulse and said: "Well, bring it out, the third elder brother is too deeply poisoned, and only part of it can be discharged by barrel steaming, and the rest is still slowly taken to expel it." When the eunuch lifted Hongsheng, he hurriedly said: "Be careful, the water in the bucket is highly poisonous, don't be splashed in your mouth or eyes." ”

"Huh." The eunuchs carefully carried Hongsheng out, dried his body and put on his clothes and put it on the bed, when Rong Yuan took off the silver needle that had been on him, his eyebrows only darkened slightly, and it was not as terrifying as just now, which showed that the poison had been controlled.

Imperial Physician Qi sighed with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a year, Imperial Physician Xu's medical skills have improved a lot, although the old man is a few years older, he is far inferior to you when it comes to Huang Qi, it is really terrifying." ”

Rong Yuan still admired Imperial Physician Qi's medical skills, and hurriedly said: "Don't say that, I'm just lucky, if I hadn't encountered it before, I would be at a loss now." ”

"Okay, hurry up and get out, the emperor is afraid that they are already in a hurry." As he spoke, Imperial Physician Qi ordered someone to open a crack in the window to disperse the heat emitted by the steaming bucket just now.
