Chapter 889: Discovery
Wen Mingxu looked at the serious Fu Ruolan, although he was a little surprised, but his face was expressionless.
He first sniffed the smell in the porcelain bowl, and then drank the soup at the bottom of the bowl, Wen Mingxu broke through the lock and frowned.
He glanced up at Fu Ruolan, then put the medicine residue in the spoon into his mouth, chewed a few bites, and spit it out again.
"Something is wrong with this medicine." Wen Mingxu lowered his eyes and looked at Fu Ruolan.
Fu Ruolan nodded, she looked at the busy eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial pharmacy, her face was gloomy and terrifying.
"But the prince's latest medicine was all fried by me personally, and he never left this casserole for half a step, poisoned? I even know how many flies are flying. Fu Ruolan's face was ugly.
"Didn't I prescribe it...... Questions? ”
Wen Mingxu shook his head, he knew that there was no problem with Fu Ruolan's prescription.
Wen Mingxu pointed to the stove not far away, it was a purple sand casserole, which was obviously much better than the others: "That's the casserole for the prince to decoct medicine?" ”
Fu Ruolan nodded: "Yes, the casserole for the prince is special." ”
Wen Mingxu walked to the stove, he opened the lid of the casserole and looked around, sniffing and sniffing.
Even the only potion left in the casserole was put into his mouth with a spoon.
Seeing Wen Mingxu chewing on the dregs, Fu Ruolan smacked her tongue for a while, her junior brother recognized the truth, and he was still a little handsome.
Wen Mingxu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, there was nothing wrong with this decoction at first taste, but there was something wrong with tasting it carefully.
It was a strange smell of spicy stuffed in the herbs.
If Fu Ruolan hadn't suddenly come over and let him taste it, Wen Mingxu really wouldn't have noticed that something was wrong with the medicine.
Wen Mingxu looked at Fu Ruolan with a little admiration in his eyes: "There is indeed a problem with this medicine, but the amount of poison given by the other party should be very small, so small that even the silver needle and other poison detection methods cannot be detected." ”
Although Fu Ruolan felt that Wen Mingxu's eyes were a little strange, but hearing him say this, Fu Ruolan asked a little eagerly: "So where do you think we went wrong?" ”
Wen Mingxu pondered for a long time: "There is a problem with the medicine in this bowl, and there is also a problem with the medicine in this casserole, so we can only start from the source now." ”
Fu Ruolan's eyelids jumped: "Source? From medicinal herbs? ”
Wen Mingxu looked at her and nodded slightly.
The medicinal materials in the Imperial Pharmacy are all supervised by special people, and the people who take care of them are different every day.
Fu Ruolan and the two walked around the imperial pharmacy, and the process from prescribing prescriptions to taking medicine was not complicated, and there were only a few people who handled it.
Fu Ruolan shook her head: "It's not easy to start from here, although it is possible to do it on medicinal materials, but it is not easy to hide from our eyes." ”
Wen Mingxu nodded, it was indeed as Fu Ruolan said, pickling and smearing the medicinal herbs with poison, which was very easy to expose.
After all, if there is a little bit of something wrong, they can smell it.
Colorless and odorless poison, there are almost no in this world.
The two walked around and returned to the imperial pharmacy, Fu Ruolan really couldn't understand what the problem was, so she only felt that her head was going to explode.
Wen Mingxu walked to the stove, slowly picked up the casserole on it, and leaned to his nose to take a deep breath.
The medicinal fragrance is soaked deeply.
Ginseng, deer antler, angelica, wolfberry, schisandra, silver bupleurum......
Wait, what kind of herb is this mixed spicy taste?
Fu Ruolan glared because she watched Wen Mingxu stick out her tongue and add up and down the casserole, inside and out.
Fu Ruolan swallowed her saliva, although she knew that Wen Mingxu was trying to find the source of the poison, but was she so serious?
At this time, Wen Mingxu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he handed the casserole to Fu Ruolan: "You taste the lid of this casserole." ”
Fu Ruolan looked at the saliva on the lid of the casserole, opened her mouth, and stared at her round eyes: "Can you allow me to refuse?" ”
Wen Mingxu thought of something, and laughed: "I think I found out how it was poisoned." ”
Fu Ruolan pointed to the casserole lid: "Is this it?" ”
Wen Mingxu nodded, his eyes full of admiration: "The person who poisoned really has some ability, he should soak the casserole lid of this decoction into the poisonous medicine, it is estimated that it will take at least seven hundred and forty-nine days."
Then secretly changed the lid of the casserole, and asked the prince to take the medicine fried from the lid of this poisonous casserole every day.
As the temperature rises and the potion splashes, the poison can fall into the decoction without even noticing. ”
Fu Ruolan slapped her palms, she looked at the lid of the casserole, and flames erupted from her eyes: "This is really a foot high, and the magic is one foot high." No wonder I couldn't find the problem, it turned out that the problem appeared in front of me. ”
Wen Mingxu nodded and continued: "Even I was kept in the dark, I didn't expect to think of such an idea, and at the beginning, the toxicity was so low that I couldn't see it.
As time goes on, the more I take medicine, the more serious the illness becomes, and in the end, I'm afraid that not only the prince, but also you and I can't eat and walk around. ”
"You are doing this right under my nose." Fu Ruolan was very angry.
One is angry that someone provoked her like this, and the other is angry that she didn't find out earlier.
Wen Mingxu understood what Fu Ruolan was angry about, so he comforted him: "Ruolan, you don't have to blame yourself like this. The person who poisoned you knows that you know how to heal, and deliberately uses such insidious tricks to prevent you. ”
"If I hadn't encountered this kind of thing before, I wouldn't have found out." Wen Mingxu's words were very powerful, but they calmed Fu Ruolan's heart: "You should find a way to catch the poisoner at the moment."
"Yes." Fu Ruolan was rarely moved, and her face softened a lot after listening to Wen Mingxu's words.
"Don't make a noise for the time being, lest you startle the snake." Wen Mingxu reminded.
Nan Yuchen saw that he hadn't helped much, and he was a little upset, so Wen Mingxu finished speaking.
"Ahem." Nan Yuchen coughed lightly to attract Fu Ruolan's gaze: "Investigate this matter and leave it to me."
"I'm with you." Fu Ruolan also wanted to know what kind of means the thief used.
When Wen Mingxu was about to express that he was willing to go together, Nan Yuchen opened his mouth first: "Wen Mingxu, go back first, you are easy to make people suspicious here, and it is easy to startle snakes when there are too many people."
Nan Yuchen's words made sense, but in his selfish heart, he wanted Wen Mingxu to stay away from Fu Ruolan.
"Well, what Nan Yuchen said makes sense." Fu Ruolan thought about it seriously and said to Wen Mingxu: "I'll trouble you this time, you go back first, and the rest will be left to me, I must catch the person who poisoned me."
Wen Mingxu originally wanted to stay here to help, but seeing Nan Yuchen's appearance of rushing him away, he also realized that he was undoubtedly here with him.
