Chapter 322: Demonstration in front of the palace
Ning Zhao deliberately lengthened his tone, wanting to capture the expression on Murong Cheng's face, "I took a very large dose of acacia skin and cinnabar!" ”
Murong Cheng's face did not change, but he was a little more puzzled, and asked, "What is the effect of these two herbs?" Didn't you say that it wasn't poisoning? ”
"It's true that the mother is not poisoned." Ning Zhao interrupted Murong Cheng's words, looked at the old emperor, and said, "Cinnabar and Hehuan skin are both commonly used tranquilizers. ”
"If it's an ordinary drug, how can it cause people to fall asleep?" Murong Cheng answered again.
Ning Zhao glanced at him lightly, and then said to the old emperor: "All medicines are cures within a reasonable range, but once they are excessive, there will be different degrees of consequences, and serious ones will also lead to death." ”
Seeing that Murong Cheng was about to speak again, Ning Zhao hurriedly continued: "Acacia bark and cinnabar are both common tranquilizing medicines, but if they are taken in large doses and taken for a long time, they will cause people to be drowsy and even stay asleep all the time. ”
"That being the case, then how do you know that these two herbs are the herbs?" This time it was the old emperor who asked.
The entire Tai Hospital and Meng Sui had nothing to do about Ning Lian's illness, but Ning Zhao now swore to him that Ning Lian's current appearance was all caused by an overdose of tranquilizers.
The old emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, working for state affairs all day long, tranquilizing medicine and ginseng soup are like a common thing to drink every day, Ning Zhao said that long-term use will make drowsiness and even sleepy, but he has nothing abnormal.
The old emperor was a little unconvinced.
"Return to the emperor."
Ning Zhao blessed his body and said: "I took some blood from the side concubine Niangniang for testing before, and the way of testing was seen from an ancient book, and it was tested by predecessors, and it was also confirmed. ”
"I found these two herbs from the blood of Concubine Niangniang that did not appear in the previous prescription, so I also want to ask ......"
Ning Zhao looked at Murong Cheng as he spoke, and asked: "Before, the imperial doctor and master of the Tai Hospital had asked the side concubine Niangniang if she had taken other medicines, and the East Palace had always said no, but now the residue of these two medicinal materials has been found in the blood of Niangniang, and the courtiers want to ask, why is this Your Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
When Murong Cheng heard this, his eyebrows picked almost imperceptibly.
When he thought about it, Ning Jian began to take calming medicines, and it was only when he returned to the palace that he learned about Ning Lian's situation from the mouth of the palace maid.
Although the follow-up was acquiesced by himself, Murong Cheng didn't pay attention to what medicine Ning Jian used.
He shook his head, looked at Ning Zhao, and said, "I don't know about this palace. ”
As he spoke, his eyes sank, his expression was not as modest as before, he looked solemn, and said: "The side concubine has been asleep, and it has been like this since the palace came back from Nancheng Temple. ”
"I woke up occasionally before, although it wasn't for a long time, but I would wake up after all."
Murong Cheng questioned Ning Zhao: "But after Meng Sui came, the side concubine couldn't wake up at all, Madame now asks me why, I want to ask Madame, what everyone doesn't know, Madam said that the ancient books record, blood tests are all kind, the palace has never heard of it so far, it can't be that Madame made it up in order to exonerate Meng Sui!" ”
The old emperor was also full of suspicion, and he was also very suspicious of the ancient method that Ning Zhao said.
The old emperor didn't speak, and also looked at Ning Zhao.
Ning Zhao knew that Murong Cheng would not be so easy to recognize, before entering the palace, she prepared what she needed, and wanted to demonstrate it in front of the old emperor to prove that what she said was true.
Ning Zhao smiled slightly, looked at Jin Yuan, Jin Yuan nodded, and arched his hand towards the old emperor: "Your Majesty, the ancient method that Madame said came from the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountains, and Madame was fortunate enough to learn one or two. ”
"Weichen also knows the fantasy of this method, so he has prepared the necessary equipment before entering the palace, and wants to demonstrate it to the emperor in person." Jin Yuan said.
"The holy hand of the lady country is famous all over the country, and it is normal to know some treacherous techniques in your hands, neither the palace nor the father are people who are proficient in the art of Qihuang, so how can you see the clues." Murong Cheng frowned and said.
"Of course the courtiers thought of it." Ning Zhao took over and said to the old emperor: "In order to confirm the truth of what the courtiers said, I implore the emperor to let the head of the imperial hospital and several respected old imperial doctors watch it together." ”
"Good!" The old emperor also came in interest.
The 100,000 mountains are so mysterious, even the old emperor only knows a thing or two about them, and now there is a secret method from the depths of the 100,000 mountains, and the old emperor also wants to see it.
"The head of the Chuan Tai Hospital!" The old emperor instructed the eunuch in charge.
The steward and eunuch hurriedly ran out and passed it down layer by layer.
Murong Cheng looked at Ning Zhao and Jin Yuan as usual, he also wanted to see what Ning Zhao had to prove that Ning Zhao had drunk those two medicines to become what he is now.
What ancient secret techniques, although Murong Cheng doesn't know much, but there are only a few kinds of blood used for examinations since ancient times.
Ning Zhao is not bluffing, he just needs to wait, no matter how bad it is, Ning Zhao can really do it, Murong Cheng will not panic, in the end, this matter was not indicated by himself from the beginning, and there is a scapegoat there.
"Your Majesty." Ning Zhao broke the silence in the hall and said to the old emperor: "The test needs to use the blood of the side concubine, and I implore the emperor to move and go to the East Palace together." ”
The old emperor naturally had no opinion, looked at Murong Cheng, Murong Cheng received the sight, nodded, and the group went straight to the East Palace.
When they arrived at the place, the head of the Tai Hospital was already waiting in the East Palace with a few respected old doctors. Seeing the arrival of the old emperor, everyone knelt down and saluted.
The old emperor waved his hand and said, "Get up." ”
"I called you here today to ask you Aiqing to testify for Mrs. Ning." The old emperor sat on the high seat, glanced at Ning Zhao, and said.
Everyone looked at Ning Zhao again, not knowing why.
Ning Zhao took the initiative to stand up, took the old emperor's words, and said: "I have found out the cause of Concubine Niangniang, I have detected the residue of other drugs from the blood of Concubine Niangniang, and I invite you imperial doctors to come today to confirm that what I said is true." ”
All the doctors were shocked when they heard this, and the head of the hospital even asked, "Drug residues were detected from the bloodline?" Xu is an old man who is lonely and unheard, how can this be done? ”
Ning Zhao smiled at the head of the courtyard and said, "The imperial doctor is calm and restless, and he will see the details later." ”
"Let's get started." The old emperor became impatient and urged.
Ning Zhao nodded, and took the small box prepared in advance from Jin Yuan's hand, which contained the utensils brought out from the medical hall, and the things she had used for testing before.
Ning Zhao took out the utensils one by one, and took out a few herbs and handed them to Jin Yuan, Jin Yuan had already done it once, so he naturally picked up the stone trough for grinding and ground the herbs into juice.
Ning Zhao prepared the utensils needed for distillation, and when Jin Yuan finished grinding the medicinal juice, she took it, poured it directly into the utensils, and began to distill.
