Although Xu Shi had long since lost the qualification to ask the imperial doctor to see a doctor, Zhou Minghua asked while taking his pulse in the heart of a doctor: "Do you have abdominal pain, paralysis, and nausea?" ”

Xu said: "None of these, but I used watermelon with Xu Changzai just now, and then she had an accident, so I'm very worried." ”

After careful diagnosis, Zhou Minghua said, "Don't worry, there are no signs of poisoning in your body." ”

After Xu repeatedly confirmed that there were no signs of poisoning in his body, he finally put his mind at ease, glanced at the unconscious Xu and said, "How is she, can she be saved?" ”

"Xu Changzai is not deeply poisoned, as long as the poison in her stomach can be emptied, supplemented with medicine, there should be no big deal." Having said that, Zhou Minghua didn't dare to slack off, watching Zirong forcibly pour bowls of water into Xu's mouth, forcing Xu's to spit out the contents of her stomach, until she spit out all the water, then ordered Zirong to stop, at this time the medicine was also decocted, Zirong quickly fed the medicine to Xu's to eat, after taking the medicine, the blue and purple on Xu's lips and nails faded a lot, and Zhou Minghua checked the pulse again, and found that her pulse gradually calmed down, and there should be no major problem.

After getting the exact answer from Zhou Minghua's mouth, Zirong's heart hanging in mid-air was finally relieved, and then he said puzzledly: "Imperial Doctor Zhou, what kind of poison is in my master's son?" ”

"Arsenic!" When Zi Rong heard these two words from Zhou Minghua's mouth, the first feeling was that it was impossible, the watermelon was cut by himself, and he also brought it with his own hands, how could there be arsenic, and didn't Xu have nothing to do?

Zhou Minghua was also very puzzled about this matter, after returning to the place where Xu was sitting before, after using a silver needle to try the fruit pulp used by her and Xu's respectively, he found that there was no toxicity, he thought about it and said: "It takes a while to take arsenic until it is poisonous, I don't know what Xu Chang used before this?" ”

Zirong pointed to the goat's milk that Xu had only used a few mouthfuls and said, "In addition to watermelon, there is only this bowl of goat's milk with pearl powder." ”

Zhou Minghua tried the silver needle again, this time the discoloration of the silver needle proved that this bowl of goat's milk was poisoned by arsenic, Xu sneered on the side: "Okay, you have a purple face, you look very loyal on weekdays, I didn't expect to do something to kill the lord, you are really bold." ”

"I didn't!" Zirong refuted her words excitedly, but the discoloration of the silver needle is an indisputable thing, she can only think carefully about the previous things, the goat milk was brought by her from the imperial dining room, and she took a sip in order to test the temperature, if the goat milk is poisonous, then she is the most poisonous person.

No, she did try goat's milk, but that was before it was mixed with pearl powder, so could it be a problem with those pearls? Thinking of this, she hurriedly took out the pearl, "Imperial Doctor Zhou, do you think there is something wrong with the pearl?" ”

Zhou Minghua asked Zirong to take a basin of water, soak the pearls in it, and then use silver needles to resemble them, and the result was the same as when he tried goat's milk just now, which was extremely dark, thus proving that Zirong's inference was correct, and the problem was indeed in these pearls.

It is already obvious that someone wants to use these pearls to poison the Xu family, but the Xu family only drank two sips at the time, if they drank them all, even if Hua Tuo was alive, he would not be able to save her, "Where did this pearl come from?" ”

"It was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Speaking of this, she remembered something, "It was Qi Jia's family who sent the pearl, and because she talked too much, the slave maid also had a few arguments with her, and the slave maid could see that she was very jealous of her master. ”

This matter is no longer something that Zhou Minghua can handle, he said: "It's better to report this matter to the concubine Niangniang quickly, and ask her to come forward to investigate this matter in detail." ”

Zi Rong nodded, and hurriedly went to Chengqian Palace, and after Zi Rong left, Xu also left under the pretext of leaving, I don't know where he went.

When Zirong rushed to Chengqian Palace, the Guerjia clan happened to be there, and the two of them were shocked when they heard the news of Xu's poisoning, and then they learned that this matter was related to Qi Jia's, and they were even more shocked.

After ordering Zirong to go back first, Ling Ruo said with a solemn face: "Sister thinks this matter is done by Qi Jia's family?" ”

"Not to mention whether Qi Jia's family has a way to get arsenic again, just say that the method of applying arsenic on pearls, as long as people with a little brain, will not use it, because if you do that, even if you kill someone, you will not be able to escape responsibility. Besides, the Xu family and the Qi Jia family don't have any holidays, what are you going to do to kill her? In a few words, Guerjia picked out all the doubts in this matter, and then stretched out his sleeves and said: "So think about it carefully, this matter should be planted by someone, as for who it is and what the purpose is, you can guess without me." ”

Ling Ruo nodded slowly, and called Yang Haidao: "You take the pack of fake death medicine that Shui Xiu took from Imperial Doctor Xu to see Qi Jia's family, now is the time to use the medicine." Tell her that if she refuses to fake her death, just wait for her to die, as long as she is obedient, this palace will definitely ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. Remember, let Qi Jia's send you out of the Internal Affairs Office, and then take medicine, otherwise you and the palace will not be able to clear the suspicion. ”

"The slave knows the way." In fact, it is best not to let people see it, but there are many people in the Internal Affairs Office, and Yang Hai has no way to see Qi Jiashi without anyone finding out.

Listening to her conversation with Yang Hai, Guerjia shook his head and said, "You, do you really plan to spare Qi Jia's life, aren't you afraid that she will bite you back in the future?" ”

Ling Ruo smiled slightly: "Although after so many years, I am still not used to crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but I will not let Qi Jia's family have the opportunity to hurt me, this sister can rest assured." It's the queen's side...... It's really stubborn, it seems that if I don't die for a day, she won't be able to stay in peace for a day. ”

"If she can live in peace, she won't be the queen mother who has been fighting with us for half her life." Speaking of this, the Guerjia clan suddenly looked cold, and said: "No, the queen is not doing this just to deal with you, otherwise there are so many people in the palace, why bother to single out the Xu family." ”

Ling Ruo frowned and said, "Sister is trying to say that the person the queen really wants to deal with is Xu Changzai?" ”

"Yes, she should know that the second elder brother had been to Yikun Palace, and her patience with Xu Changzai has reached the limit, and she has set up such a game to get rid of Xu Changzai, but Xu Changzai has a big life, and he picked up a life from before the ghost gate was closed." Speaking of this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "It seems that my plan must start quickly, otherwise if I continue to stay in the palace, even if Xu Chang does not die this time, he will die sooner or later, so that our hard work will be in vain." ”

Ling Ruo couldn't help but ask, "Sister, how do you plan to let the Xu family leave the palace?" ”
