Xie Qian's Mansion.

Shen Xi can be regarded as a frequent visitor to the Xie family, and he doesn't even need an invitation, just by reporting his name, the Xie family will respectfully welcome him into the door, send him to Xie Qian's study, and then serve him a cup of hot tea, and then take care of everything.

Let people wait at their own homes in advance, and only Xie Qian can do this kind of thing, perhaps because the Xie Mansion itself does not often come to guests, and the courtesy of the house is a little lazy, of course, it may also be that Shen Xi's official position is too low, and it is not worth the Xie family's enthusiasm to mobilize the public.

Shen Xi felt more and more that entering Xie's house was similar to going back to his own home.

Shen Xi didn't only know Xie Qian in the Xie family, but also his second son and eldest granddaughter, Xie Heng was raised in the boudoir and it was difficult to come out, but when Xie Pi learned that Shen Xi was coming, he treated Shen Xi as half a gentleman, and he always had to come over to receive him.

After the ceremony, Xie Pi sat down and said, "My father invited Mr. Shen to come over, it must be an important matter for the court, and he shouldn't have bothered him, but ...... Students have a lot of academic questions to ask. ”

Shen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In addition to following Xie Qian's instructions, I don't know when I started to work as a tutor when I came to Xie's house...... In addition to asking him about the content of psychology, Xie Pi would even ask Shen Xi for advice when he encountered problems in preparing for the township exam on weekdays.

Xie Pi's question was mainly about the previous examination questions of Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu's previous township examinations, which was equivalent to asking Shen Xi to have a "pre-exam real question drill", but Shen Xi has been putting down the imperial examination for more than a year, and then facing these four book questions and five scripture questions, he often needs to think for a while to break the questions, and then tell Xie Pi about his own ideas.

Xie Pi's eyes lit up every time he heard it, and he sighed that he had benefited a lot.

"Ahem."

Just as Xie Pi was asking more and more endless questions, the sound of Xie Qian clearing his throat came from the door of the study, and Shen Xi and Xie Pi hurriedly got up and saluted.

Xie Qian threw the official document under his armpit on the coffee table, and said with a straight face: "Go back to the room, and don't go out and walk around before the township test next year." ”

The strict father in the world is estimated to have a virtue, and Xie Qian is very strict with his son, but he has been away from home for a long time and has no time to teach his son.

In fact, now Xie Pi is a student, starting a family, and he should have a little status in the family, but in Xie Qian's eyes, his son has always been an uncompetitive boy, and he needs to be reprimanded from time to time to make him concentrate on learning.

Xie Pi left in a huff, and when the people left without seeing a shadow, Xie Qian looked at Shen Xi angrily and said, "Why are you so familiar with the old man's family?" ”

Xie Qian bumped into Shen Xi talking to Xie Hengnu, and now he met Xie Pi asking Shen Xi for teaching, which made Xie Qian think, do I belong to "luring wolves into the house"? How is it that the attitude of a family member to a guest is better than that of the head of my family? I didn't see them when I came back on weekdays, who came to say hello?

Shen Xi thought to himself, who told you to focus on official duties and ignore your family, and ignore the feelings of your family?

"Elder Xie Ge invited the students to come, why did he come?" Shen Xi saw that Xie Pi seemed to be sulking, and took the initiative to talk.

Xie Qian said: "Yesterday, the queen suddenly had a serious illness, and the specific diagnosis was made to your wife Xie Shi after she went back, right?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Xi nodded.

Xie Qian asked, "How do you say that?" ”

Isn't this knowingly asked? Everyone knows that it is poisoning, and it seems that it is not food poisoning and poisonous insect bites, but someone who pricked people with poisonous needles.

Shen Xi said: "It is said that the cause of the disease is similar to that of the prince, which is devoured by snakes, insects, rats and ants. It seems that the palace needs to be cleaned of poisons......"

A pun, I'm right, it's the poison "bite", and now the palace is still searching for the poisoned "worm", it just depends on how you understand what I said.

Xie Qian asked, "Then do you know what kind of poison it is?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Xie Qian glared at Shen Xi with a little annoyance: "You don't know, but you can save the prince and the queen?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xie Ge Lao is wrong, it is not saved in Xia, but the credit of the imperial doctors, in Xia, it is just a plaster to remove the toxins in the body for the two nobles, maybe only a part of it can be removed, and the symptoms can be alleviated, but the residual poison in the body can only be resolved by conditioning......"

The implication is that no matter what kind of poison my plaster is, as long as there is a wound, it can remove the surrounding toxins from the wound, not to be ten or ten stable, nor to eradicate it, but to remove part of the toxins, to pull the patient back from the line of death, and to recuperate and treat later, that is the duty of the imperial doctor, and it has nothing to do with me.

Xie Qian groaned slightly, although the truth was so, but he had come to ask Shen Xi what the specific poison was, if he admitted that Shen Xi's words were reliable, he couldn't continue to ask.

Xie Qian said coldly: "Who knows if you are looking for someone to poison ......"

Shen Xi's heart sank...... This is a good intention to do a bad thing! No matter how unsure you Xie Qian is, you shouldn't have thought that the poison was caused by me, right?

Shen Xi's tone turned cold, and he frowned in protest: "Elder Xie Ge can't wronged people for no reason. ”

Xie Qian said: "It's not that anyone wants to sincerely wronged you, but this poison, no one can solve it except you, this is enough to arouse suspicion, and now Your Majesty is angry, and thanks to the old man's mediation for you, you can be safe and sound." ”

Shen Xi sneered......

I have to thank you for that, do I have to thank you?

If you hadn't made trouble for me, I would have taken the initiative to send it to the door, which would make people suspicious?

Zhu Youzhu is not the kind of emperor who does not distinguish between right and wrong, knowing that when his son was poisoned, Shen Xi had just won the top prize, and he didn't even have a chance to enter the palace, even if he had the heart to poison, there was no way.

When the group of doctors were helpless, just waiting for a new mourning to be added to the palace, Shen Xi stepped forward and successfully rescued the person from the death line, if he was to blame for this, it would really be against benevolence, righteousness and morality!

When the emperor is the emperor, he must also be reasonable.

But once people are in a hurry, it is easy to think too much.

Zhu Youzhu pondered repeatedly, why could a new champion take out a plaster to save his son, but those who had been the imperial doctor for generations couldn't, and the holy hand of the national doctor of the Ming Dynasty was so unbearable? Now there is no progress in the case, and the only breakthrough falls on Shen Xi......

Even if you Shen Xi don't know who poisoned it, you should always know what the poison is, right? It's easier to track it down.

It turned out that I didn't know anything!

Shen Xi asked, "How is the queen's condition now?" ”

Xie Qian glanced at Shen Xi coldly, as if he was blaming Shen Xi for not reporting it, but he still patiently explained: "The queen has her own blessing from heaven, and there is no big problem for the time being, but she must be well adjusted, and the short is more than a month, and the long is three or five months......"

"The people that the queen has been in contact with recently must have been taken, right?"

Xie Qian pointed at Shen Xi: "You kid, you pretend to be on weekdays, and I don't know where you learned so many pedantic things at this age, you know what is going on in your heart, but you always want to hide it...... You're right, the people of Kunning Palace, East Palace, etc., have all been replaced, and the former princess's attendants have also been thoroughly investigated...... Looking through the medical records, I found that the condition of the eldest princess was similar to that of the queen and the crown prince......"

Shen Xi thought to himself, now it is basically certain that it was poisoned artificially.

Then this case can't be small.

Shen Xi asked, "Was there someone in the palace before who passed away due to a similar illness?" ”

If you want to poison, you always have to find the object of the test.

If the poisoned envoy is outside the palace, it will be much more difficult to trace. But if the person who poisoned him is in the inner palace and wants to find a living creature to test the dose of poison, it is unlikely that a kitten or a dog will raise these things, and the palace will not keep these things, most likely to find a palace maid or eunuch.

Even the queen and the crown prince were poisoned, and they almost died if they were taken care of by the imperial doctor, not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs who might be poisoned in the same way? These people are poisoned as a result, and people must have died inexplicably.

Xie Qian said: "It's being investigated...... I didn't expect you kid to have a little bit of a detective brain, it's not easy. In the past few days, the murderer is being strictly investigated in the palace, so you don't have to go to the East Palace on an errand first, and do a good job of receiving the envoys and demonstrating the Franco's cannon to His Majesty. When will you enter the palace to speak, wait for the old man's notice! ”

Shen Xi knew that this was in the spirit of preferring to be in vain rather than indulge, treating him as a suspect, and even depriving him of his qualifications to give a lecture to the prince, which made him chill when he thought about it.

But it's not a dismissal investigation after all!

Isn't there just no need to lecture to the bear child?

Do you think I love being the prince's teacher? Among the students in the world, the most unreasonable is the royal lone seedling, and the anger is not enough for me.

……

……

Shen Xi returned home and told Xie Yun'er about the matter, and Xie Yun'er was immediately indignant.

"I knew that the concubine should not have entered the palace, what about the life and death of the queen, the prince offered medicine to save people, and the emperor can't be unreasonable, right?"

Xie Yun'er is a wife, and she only thinks about the rise and fall of the princess...... She and Shen Xi have become one, if the husband is prosperous, she will be prosperous, and if the husband is declining, she will also be unlucky.

Shen Xi sighed: "How many people in power can speak in righteousness? I'm glad I wasn't checked right now! ”

Xie Yun'er thought of Li Dongyang's criticism of the Xie family, and felt aggrieved in her heart, it was because the Xie family offended the powerful people by treating people that she changed her life, and now the aftermath has not yet dissipated, if she provokes a bigger magnat, and it is also the most difficult royal family in the world, it is really a cry without tears.

Shen Xi said: "The queen has turned the corner, Your Majesty should feel a little relieved." The eldest princess has passed away, and since it was found that the eldest princess's illness was related to poisoning, I would not be implicated, and I was still unknown at that time...... I am afraid that the person behind the poison still refuses to stop, and now I know that there is a plaster to remove the poison by trauma, and the next step may be to change the way of poisoning. ”

Xie Yun'er is proficient in medical science, and of course she understands the meaning of Shen Xi's words.

Poisoning with a poison needle, not wanting to be too obvious and being discovered, the dose of poison is usually not very large, so it can prolong the time of poisoning, which makes it impossible to trace, on the other hand, the toxin accumulates in the body, causing complex reactions, and it is not easy to detoxify.

But the problem boils down to the fact that the poison dose is too small to achieve the desired effect. Now that the matter has been revealed, if the thief wants to poison it again in the future, it will not be so polite, anyway, it will be exposed, so it is possible to simply increase the dose, or seek other ways, and directly stab.

Xie Yun'er was a little resentful: "It's rare that Xianggong is still worried about the safety of the royal people at this time. ”

Shen Xi didn't want to do anything for the emperor's family, but felt strange, because there was no record of this poisoning incident in history, either it didn't exist, or it existed, but it was buried by history.

Since this incident was likely to be one of the butterfly effects caused by his arrival, Shen Xi did not want to change the course of history because of this.

At the same time, the curiosity also prompted Shen Xi to urgently want to know, who had such courage and ability to poison the eldest princess, the crown prince and the queen one after another in the heavily guarded inner courtyard of the palace, if it was really a power struggle, wouldn't it be more effective to kill the emperor?

But now it seems that they are all targeting the people around the emperor.

The emperor only had one wife, Empress Zhang, and there was no love killing......

But Shen Xi thought about it, it didn't seem to be......
