Chapter 164: Finding the source of the poison

Xiao Xi's original expression was relaxed as usual, but when he checked Empress Chu's pulse again, the look on his face sank more and more little by little.

After a long while, Xiao Xi withdrew his hand and looked at Yun Qingyan with some desire to speak.

"How's it going?" Rong Lu asked.

"This ......" Xiaoxi hesitated.

"Can't you solve this poison?" Rong Lu frowned.

Yun Qingyan saw that Xiao Xi's expression was not quite right, and said, "The imperial doctor also said that this poison must be found out before it can be detoxified. ”

"That's true, it's just that ......" Xiao Xi paused, "Other than that, did the Imperial Doctor say anything else?" ”

"Is there any other problem with this girl?" Hong Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Judging from the pulse diagnosis I just had, although the poison in the queen mother's body has been suppressed temporarily, her meridians have also been sealed. The current situation is that if the meridians are unlocked, the toxicity in the body will inevitably flow, but if the meridians are sealed all the time, even if the poison is dissolved later, I am afraid that it will also affect the body of the queen mother, and in serious cases, it may lead to weakness in walking. ”

"How so!" Hong Feng's face changed instantly, "This girl, can you be sure?" The imperial doctor did not talk about this matter when he sealed the meridians for the queen mother and controlled the toxicity in the body. ”

"Sure." Xiaoxi nodded, "I can also understand why the imperial doctor did this, in this case, if you don't seal the meridians of the queen mother, I'm afraid it is very likely that the poison in the body will flow, so I am afraid that my life will not be saved." ”

The lesser of two evils, temporarily sealing the meridians to control toxicity and saving life is the most important thing.

"How long will it take for the meridians to be sealed to cause the effects you are talking about?" Yun Qingyan asked.

"If you can detoxify the poison in the queen's body within three days and open the meridians, it won't have any effect, but if it exceeds three days, I'm afraid it's hard to say."

"I haven't found out what kind of poison is in the queen's mother......" Hongfeng couldn't stop worrying in her heart.

Although compared to the life of the queen mother, even if it is really bad in the future, it is naturally nothing. But after all, the queen mother is the master of the harem and the mother of a country, if she really falls into any bad condition, I am afraid that it will definitely attract a lot of discussion at that time, and according to the queen's temperament, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept.

Yun Qingyan didn't speak immediately, but thought in his heart, "Xiaoxi, I still need you to do me a favor." ”

"What's busy, just say."

Yun Qingyan walked to the incense burner with Xiaoxi, "Zhong Cui Palace has been inspected inside and out, up and down, but the source of any poison has not been found. This incense burner has also been seen by the imperial doctor, and I haven't found any problems, but I still feel a little uneasy, can you help me take another look? ”

"Okay." Xiao Xi turned on the incense burner, opened it and sniffed the remaining spices inside, "This should be a good soothing incense." ”

"That's right, my queen mother hasn't been sleeping well at night lately, so she will light this soothing incense."

Xiaoxi took out some spices, crushed them and sniffed them carefully, "There is no problem." ”

"If you take a closer look, is there really no problem?" Rong Lu opened his mouth and said, "Since Qingyan thinks that this incense burner is not quite right, then you can check it carefully." ”

Xiaoxi looked at Rong Lu and couldn't help but roll her eyes, "In the end, am I a doctor or the eldest princess is a doctor, you believe her words so much, why did you let me come over." ”

"I'm ......" Rong Lu choked.

After Xiaoxi finished speaking, he also realized that what he said was a little inappropriate, and smiled apologetically at Yun Qingyan.

Yun Qingyan smiled back, indicating that it didn't matter.

Although Xiaoxi was a little dissatisfied with Rong Lu's attitude, he also picked up the incense burner again and checked it carefully.

After looking at the interior, he took the incense burner in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully, and looked at Xiaoxi and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Princess, if there is any blank paper, give me one."

"Qiu'er, go get a blank piece of paper."

Qiu'er hurriedly responded and took a blank piece of paper and handed it to Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi took the white paper and put it on the table, then pulled out a hairpin from his head, and scraped it from the gap in the hollow pattern on the incense burner, and some black things fell on the white paper.

"What is this?" Rong Lu asked.

"It should be the incense burner after a long time, and the dust in the air, but it's just ......" Xiaoxi frowned and crushed the black particles with the hairpin, stepped forward and sniffed it carefully, and the next moment hurriedly pulled away, "Something is wrong!" ”

Xiao Xi put down the hairpin, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, got some powder, put it on top of the black particles, and then brought another cup of tea.

After a few drops of tea, the black powder quickly blended.

"Sure enough! The poison is hidden in the hollow crack of this incense burner, who can check this! ”

"There's really something wrong with this incense burner." Qiu'er opened her mouth in surprise.

And Yun Qingyan looked at the incense burner in front of him, as well as the black powder on the paper, and frowned tightly.

This method is so ingenious that even if someone would inspect the incense burner and spices, who would have thought that there was poison hidden between the cracks.

In this way, as soon as the spice is ignited, the air that appears to be the smell of spice is actually mixed with poison, so it is no wonder that it is said to be chronic poisoning.

"Xiaoxi, can you tell what kind of poison it is?"

"This is supposed to be a mixture of several poisons, but since it can be detected, it should be possible to formulate the corresponding antidote with some time." Xiao Xi looked at Yun Qingyan, "If the eldest princess believes me, I can help prepare the antidote." Or now that the source of the poison has been discovered, the eldest princess can put these in the hands of the imperial doctor, and they should also be able to formulate the antidote. ”

Yun Qingyan looked at the incense burner in front of him, as well as the black powder on the paper, and said after a while: "Xiaoxi, please help secretly configure the antidote, and this matter cannot be leaked out for the time being." ”

"Are you afraid of startling the snake?" Rong Lu asked.

Yun Qingyan nodded, "To be able to come up with such an idea, the person behind it must not be simple, but now it is not enough to find out the source of this poison, I must find out who is behind the scenes." ”

"Okay, don't worry, we won't talk about it." Rong Lu nodded.

Xiaoxi also nodded and spoke: "Don't worry, I will configure the antidote as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, thank you."

Since poison has been found in this incense burner now, it means that even if Empress Dowager Liu is not the final murderer, at least she knows about it.

In any case, she must find out about this matter!
