The eunuch was only fifteen years old, and when he was a child, because his family was poor and he couldn't afford to raise many children, he was sold into the palace at the age of seven and became a eunuch. Early this morning, the guard was changed from the fifth watch, and it was the afternoon when I was on duty, and I had already changed shifts to rest, but I was summoned to come over at this time, and I stood tremblingly, and I didn't know what had happened.

Su Chen arched his hand towards Li Yu and the Queen Mother and said, "I implore the official family and the Queen Mother to allow me to ask this person in the future." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong nodded slightly, and Li Yu said accurately: "Ask!" ”

Su Chen turned around, looked the little eunuch's face up and down, and found that he was a little tired and uncomfortable, Yin Tang condensed a gloomy color, but it didn't look like an expression that was too poisoned, he was suspicious in his heart, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"The slave's name is Huang Xiaojiang, and everyone calls him Xiaojiangzi." The little eunuch replied truthfully.

Su Chen asked again: "Have you drunk the decoction that the third prince took in the morning and noon first?" ”

The little eunuch nodded and replied, "I've drunk it all, a big bowl, and I've drunk it all fine." ”

Su Chen nodded slightly, and asked carefully like a professional doctor: "Then do you feel any discomfort, such as stomach pain, sore throat, or dizziness?" ”

The little eunuch thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No...... The reaction is too obvious, that is, some diarrhea, and I vomited once in the afternoon, which is a little nauseous. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong, Li Yu, Princess Yongning and others all changed their faces slightly, feeling that there might be a cat in this.

Su Chen nodded slightly, there is really something wrong with the decoction, but it is not fatal, it is very likely that the person who poisoned it did not have any serious poison, but a trace amount of poison, a fifteen-year-old little eunuch can bear it, but for a five-year-old child who is already ill, and suddenly has a violent reaction, it is easy to die.

"Give me your arm and check your pulse."

The little eunuch obediently stretched out his arm and was very cooperative.

After Su Chen took the pulse, he noticed that his pulse was also a little disordered, which was similar to the pulse of the second prince, but due to the age gap, and the second prince had epilepsy and convulsions, he showed pathology, etc., which was more serious, and the pulse was much more irregular than that of the little eunuch.

After the diagnosis was over, he put down his arm, and Su Chen said to Empress Dowager Zhong, Li Yu and others: "This person's pulse is similar to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and it is indeed related to taking a decoction, but the toxins put in the decoction are well pinched, the young man's resistance is good, and the symptoms are not so strong." However, the second prince was young, and he was already in danger because of his illness, coupled with the interference of toxins, which led to a recurrence and aggravation of epilepsy and frightened conditions, so that he would have an excessive reaction. ”

After hearing what Empress Dowager Zhong, Li Yu and others were able to understand, that is, the decoction was tampered with, and the person who poisoned it was very thoughtful and knew how to pinch the dose of poison, and this matter still needs to be investigated carefully.

If you think about it carefully, it is definitely premeditated, and it is not as simple as targeting Su Chen.

Because Su Chen has no fame and official title, he has only just become famous, at best, he is just a talented man with a reputation, and he will not be persecuted by jealousy, after all, throughout the ages, there have been many great talents, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and others, I have never heard that they will be jealous of their talents, and they have sent people to assassinate and frame them.

But in just a few days, Su Chen first appeared in an ambush by the secret spy of the Northern Song Kingdom's Wude Division, and then rescued people in the palace, and some people poisoned the prince in an attempt to blame Su Chen.

Although Empress Dowager Zhong is a woman, after all, she married Li Jing as a princess when she was young, and then assisted her husband to become the emperor step by step in the succession, she was canonized as the queen, and over the years she has consolidated her position and maintained the majesty of the queen in the palace.

Her face was slightly gloomy, with a little anger, and she hated the forces that made trouble and poisoned behind the scenes.

Li Yu also frowned, thinking about who would attack Su Chen.

Princess Yongning couldn't help but ask: "Su Chen, next, how to find clues, how to treat the second prince's illness?" ”

Su Chen glanced at the slim princess, and replied: "Back to the princess, the grass people have given His Royal Highness the Second Prince a medicine to remove toxins, which will stabilize the condition, and need to be observed for six hours for the time being. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong nodded and said: "Official, this matter, leave it to Su Chen, find out the evidence, find out the source of the poison, and then treat the symptoms and detoxify." ”

Li Yu saw that the Queen Mother had spoken, so he no longer hesitated, took a jade plate directly from his waist, handed it to him and said: "This is my jade pendant talisman, take it, if I come in person, I will bring the Praetorian Guard over to find evidence." ”

He couldn't rest assured that the prince and queen would not be relieved, so he did not plan to go over to investigate the case in person.

Princess Yongning was a little blushing when Su Chen looked at her, after all, she had lived in the palace for a long time, and she had seen relatively few really young and handsome people, plus she had been reading Su Chen's poems, articles and scripts in the past few months, so she was a fan of his books, so she took the initiative to ask Ying at this time: "Queen Mother, Imperial Brother, Yongning implores to follow and witness it with your own eyes, lest some unsightly minions in the harem will not believe his words, and deliberately do not cooperate." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong didn't think about it, she bowed her head slightly, feeling that she would follow a princess, on behalf of the royal family, and see the truth with her own eyes, so as not to deceive and conceal it from any party; If Su Chen finds a clue at random, he will be charged, which is also not good.

"Okay, Yongning, you will accompany you and investigate the case together."

"Queen Mother, I'll go too!" Princess Yongjia grinned, at the age of twelve, she likes to join in the fun, she is restrained by living in the palace, there is nothing fun in ordinary times, and the investigation of the case is so mysterious and unpredictable, she refuses to let it go.

"Brother-in-law Huang, I'll go too." Zhou Jiamin also asked to be accompanied.

Peng Jingqing didn't speak, but he had already taken the initiative to stand up to Su Chen, looking like a lioness protecting her cubs, and showed her attitude, if she didn't let her go, it would definitely not work.

Li Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, this Su Chen, it seems that the woman's fate is very good!

"Go ahead, but don't interfere with Su Chen's search for evidence and find out the clues of the poisoner." Li Yu spoke and granted the request of several women.

A deputy commander Wei Chi Xin who was on duty in front of the palace was summoned in, and after listening to Li Yu's instructions, he said to Su Chen: "Master Su, this official Wei Chi Xin, go with you to the Shang Pharmacy to find evidence." ”

Su Chen said politely: "There is General Lao Weichi." ”

The two walked out of the prince's bedroom one after another, and the maids also followed.
