Chapter 314: Danger is not chaotic
Su Chen promised to speed up the treatment of the second prince, otherwise, if the old and new diseases broke out at the same time, it was likely that he would not survive two or three days, but he also needed to put forward some conditions at this time.
"Official, for the sake of the prince's safety, the grass people have a few suggestions, if they can be allowed, maybe the prince's safety can be guaranteed." Su Chen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
When Li Yu heard this, he asked suspiciously: "What suggestion, you can tell me and listen to it, as long as you can save the emperor, everything will be right!" ”
Su Chen's expression was calm as usual, his mind was as meticulous as a hair, and his mind was flexible: "First of all, apply for the mobilization of a forbidden army to surround and monitor here, as well as the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, the Imperial Medical Department, and the place where the medicine is boiled, and monitor it, especially the medicinal materials used to boil medicine from last night to this afternoon, all of them are blocked, and I will go over to investigate in a while." ”
"Second, especially the people who boiled medicine, decocted medicine, served medicine, and took medicine for the second prince, all of them were mobilized, and they needed to check whether there were poisonous things left on his body, and if any of them disappeared for no reason, it was very likely to be related to this matter."
"Third, this time, the grass people plan to stay here, boil the medicine themselves, and do not allow anyone to interfere, lest someone in the palace attack the prince or be bribed, in an attempt to assassinate the prince."
What Su Chen said was a bit alarmist, as if he was facing a great enemy, and he looked very serious, and the faces of Li Yu, Empress Dowager Zhong, and some concubines became gloomy and angry.
These words are words that cannot be put on the table, otherwise, if there is no evidence, it is easy to be talked about by others, sowing discord and insinuation.
But if someone is really against the prince, it is a great crime of rebellion, and it also needs to pay a heavy enough price.
Regardless of whether it is positive or negative, this matter is a taboo word, and the people in the palace are generally silent about it, and no one will say it directly in public.
Since Su Chen had made his words clear, he even looked at Concubine Wei unnaturally, which made the latter embarrassed, his eyes looked at Su Chen coldly, and he snorted lightly: "You see what this palace is doing, it's so rude." ”
Su Chen arched his hand and said: "The grass people are just talking about the safety of the prince, and they are distracted for a while, and they have no intention of offending the concubines." ”
The more Concubine Wei thought about it, the more angry she became, you talked about the prince's safety, and kept staring at me to see what you were doing!
"Looking at your eyes, do you suspect that this matter has something to do with this palace?"
Su Chen shook his head, bowed down and said: "The grass people don't dare, they never suspect that this concubine is related to the murder of the prince, it is only the first time I have seen this concubine Niangniang, I really don't know what the relationship will be behind this, what is the relationship with the queen and the prince, and whether there is a conflict of interest, I don't know at all, so I don't dare to doubt it." ”
When Concubine Wei heard this, her heart was still puffing up, don't look at Su Chen, she didn't dare to doubt it, but when she said those explanatory words, how would she guess when the other people present heard it?
Because the relationship between her and the queen and the prince is usually average, these days she feels that Queen Zhou is going to fail, so she is more active, trying to be able to ascend the throne and become the next queen. If she has nothing to do, she will go to the Queen Mother to offer her courtesy, or try her best to win the favor of the official family and fight other concubines and beauties. Therefore, Su Chen said that he didn't know the specific relationship, but others knew about the interest relationship, and they were even more suspicious of her.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at her in unison, there were suspicions, suspicions, suddenness, and distrust, which made Concubine Wei like a stab in the back, her eyes began to be a little disordered, and her expression became a little nervous.
"Enough!" Empress Dowager Zhong suddenly reprimanded the defense of the two, she had long been impatient listening to the words of the concubine, with her sixty years old, she also went from a young princess, to the queen, and then to the queen mother, living in the palace for a long time, what has not happened?
Many methods were played by them when they were young, so what Concubine Wei was thinking, she knew it, but the competition for favor also had to be divided into occasions, today's Concubine Wei is indeed a little mean, a little out of place, which makes Empress Dowager Zhong a little tired.
Empress Dowager Zhong had a calm face and waved her hand: "It's important to save people, and the rest of the people who have nothing to do with it are temporarily avoided and are not allowed to stay here!" ”
When Li Yu heard the Queen Mother's words, he was also awakened, and first let his concubines, Baoyi, Wanyi, Fangyi, and Mrs. leave this prince's bedroom for the time being.
The people left behind were Su Chen, Peng Jingqing, Li Yu, Empress Dowager Zhong, two princesses, Zhou Jiamin, the chief eunuch Feng Jian, the imperial physician Fu Dongsheng, and four palace maids and eunuchs waiting.
Li Yu looked at Su Chen, a little uneasy, after all, it was related to the life and safety of his youngest son, and asked: "Su Chen, you hurry up and treat it, the only doctor I can trust for the time being is you, don't let me down." ”
Empress Dowager Zhong, Princess Yongning, and Princess Yongjia also paid close attention to him.
"Sister Huang, do you think his medical skills are really that powerful, as good as his lyrics?" Princess Yongjia is only twelve years old, about the same age as Ling'er, so there are still some
Princess Yongning said flatly: "It's just a matter of watching, but I feel ...... He can do it! ”
Princess Yongjia asked suspiciously: "Where did you see it?" ”
Princess Yongning said in a low voice: "You see that he is so young and has no merit, in the face of Concubine Wei's difficulties, the accountability of the queen mother, and many pressures, he did not panic, and always remained so calm, you can guess that he has real skills, and maybe there is really a way to save Xiao Zhongxuan." ”
"If he can really be saved, then his medical skills will be really powerful." Yongjia couldn't help but sigh.
The words of the princess sisters, although the voice was very small, but after all, they were very close to the Empress Dowager Zhong, but they were listened to by the Empress Dowager, and they also looked at this Su Chen differently in their hearts, a grass people, facing such pressure in the palace, but they did not kneel on the ground in a panic and beg for mercy, trembling, this determination is not much more than those high-ranking ministers.
At least, Empress Dowager Zhong has never seen it in the new champion, or some young officials, and wonders if this Su Chen really has a way to save Zhong Xuan, and the poisoning really happened?
At this time, Su Chen had already sat on the edge of the bed again, holding a sterilized silver needle in his hand, inserting it into the reflex area of the stomach, twisting repeatedly, and in an instant, the second prince Li Zhongxuan suddenly vomited, Su Chen personally held the five-year-old child, and let him vomit out some undigested poison in his stomach and spit it in the copper basin in the eunuch's hand.
When Li Zhongxuan couldn't vomit out, Su Chen put down the child's body, and pierced some silver needles on him to stabilize the condition after poisoning, because he didn't know what poison or drug conflict it was for the time being, he could only use some decoction to clear the stomach and intestines, empty the residual poison in his body, and then plan to use safe anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Pudilan anti-inflammatory medicine soup and Houttuynia cordata anti-inflammatory medicine soup, which have a relieving effect on poisoning and inflammation.
Su Chen took the silver needle and tried it in the vomit, but it did not change color, indicating that the poison mixed in it was not violent, not highly toxic or the like, which is also understandable, if it is obvious that the crane top red, the poison is involved, etc., then it is equivalent to telling the official family and the royal family that if someone wants to murder the prince, the matter will be big, and Su Chen will not be blamed.
It is very likely that the people behind the scenes have invested poisons that are not strong, and they can even be cleverly integrated into the medicinal soup, so that the imperial doctors cannot test out the toxins.
Thinking of this, Su Chen asked Feng Jian, the chief eunuch, "Before giving medicine to His Second Highness, have any people in the palace tried the poison first?" ”
Feng Jian nodded and said, "According to the rules of the palace, someone tried the first bowl before giving it to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”
Su Chen said: "We need to summon the eunuch who tested the medicine over to see if he is okay!" ”
Feng Jian glanced up at Li Yu, who nodded in approval, he turned around and left the hall, sending someone to summon the little eunuch.
