Chapter 227: The Cause
After all, this meal was not eaten, and Yan Ran and Wen Rongan hurried back to the palace.
Wen Chengyan also followed, and asked Yan Yao to go back and relay the news to Minyang.
When the three of them came to Shoukang Palace, they saw Emperor Sheng, the Empress, Concubine Yun, Xiao Zun and others all waiting anxiously outside.
Su Yu came out of the room and said to Emperor Sheng: "Holy Lord, the situation of the Queen Mother has stabilized, but the Minister is not talented, and he has not found out the reason for the sudden illness of the Queen Mother. ”
The Queen Mother's condition deteriorated suddenly, but the cause was unknown, which inevitably made people speculate.
Emperor Sheng also felt strange, and subconsciously wanted to order someone to invite a real person.
Su Yu preemptively said: "Holy Lord, it is better to ask the forbidden physician ......"
Yan Ran stepped forward quickly and interrupted Su Yu's words in a loud voice: "Holy Lord, why don't you let Weichen try." ”
According to the division of medical functions, the Department of the Imperial Medical Department is divided into four departments, namely Medicine, Acupuncture, Massage and Confinement.
Among them, the Curse and Forbidden Department is in charge of the curse and ban, and the diseases of unknown cause, such as those of unknown cause, will be considered evil and will be handed over to the Curse and Forbidden Department for handling.
But Su Yu has always been proud of his medical skills, how could he not find out the cause of the Queen Mother's illness, and suddenly mentioned the Curse and Forbidden Department?
Obviously, he wanted to lead the cause of the Queen Mother's illness to the evil cause.
Of course, Yan Ran couldn't do what he wanted, so she interrupted him.
Emperor Sheng had seen it with his own eyes, Yan Ran's condition improved with one injection, and there was a real person's proverbs, and he still trusted her very much, so he nodded and agreed.
Su Yu's face froze, but when he thought about it, the cause of the Queen Mother's illness was indeed secret, and he felt a little relieved.
The Queen Mother has taken tranquilizers and is now asleep.
Yan Ran carefully diagnosed, and indeed did not find anything wrong with the Queen Mother's body.
However, there must be a cause for all diseases.
Yan Ran asked Imperial Physician Feng and Imperial Physician Li again, and judging from their descriptions of the Empress Dowager's condition, she judged that the Empress Dowager should be overly frightened or angry, which would lead to a change in her condition.
Now, she has taken tranquilizers, her mood has stabilized, and naturally she can't find the cause.
However, if Yan Ran inferred this, and the other party insisted that Shoukang Palace was heavily guarded and no one entered or exited, who could scare or anger the Queen Mother, wouldn't it be even more confirmative of the evil and evil theory?
Yan Ran's mind turned slightly, and she knew it in her chest.
She said to Emperor Sheng: "Holy Lord, the Queen Mother's illness this time is caused by poisoning!" ”
As soon as Yan Ran's words came out, there was an uproar.
Who is so rebellious that he dares to murder the Queen Mother?!
Emperor Sheng was furious: "Imperial Doctor Yan, is this true? ”
Without waiting for Yan Ran to answer, Su Yu hurriedly retorted: "Impossible! ”
As he spoke, he realized his gaffe, and explained to Emperor Sheng in a slow voice: "Holy Lord, Wei Chen did not find any signs of poisoning in the Empress Dowager, could it be that Imperial Doctor Yan made a wrong diagnosis?" ”
Yan Ran immediately sneered, and replied mercilessly: "Su Yicheng, since you already admit that you are not talented, you can't find out the cause of the Queen Mother's mother. Now that I've found the cause, what right do you have to question it? ”
Su Yu was choked and speechless for a long time, and asked angrily: "Then according to what you said, what kind of poison is in the Queen Mother?" ”
Yan Ran turned to Emperor Sheng and explained: "Holy Lord, what is in the Queen Mother's mother is the poison of aconite. ”
When Su Yu heard this, he sneered: "The poison of aconite will make people bloated and diarrhea, and the skin will be cold and convulsive, where does the Queen Mother have these symptoms?" ”
Yan Ran glanced at Su Yu with disdain: "Doctor Su is in a hurry, I haven't finished talking yet." The prescription taken by the Queen Mother contains Aracea, which can cause toxicity, which can make people's heart beat faster, qi and blood retrograde, similar to heart palpitations or chest paralysis caused by excessive fright or anger attacking the heart, and in severe cases, it can cause death. ”
Su Yu also wanted to refute, but Yan Ran was clearly talking nonsense, because the Queen Mother was not poisoned at all, and she was clearly sick by anger!
But Emperor Sheng had already believed Yan Ran's words and no longer gave Su Yu a chance to refute.
As for why the drugs are poisonous, other experienced imperial doctors can't check it, and Emperor Sheng does not hesitate to think that their medical skills are not perfect.
He immediately ordered: "Quickly block Shoukang Palace, search with all your might, no one can be left behind, and the person who poisoned the Queen Mother must be found out!" ”
As soon as Emperor Sheng gave the order, everyone moved, and Wen Rongan also returned to the team to search.
Soon, Wen Rong'an presented a silver needle and said, "Holy Lord, this needle is poisonous!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yan Ran with different expressions.
After all, Yan Ran administers acupuncture treatment to the Queen Mother every day, and she is the only one who uses silver needles in this Shoukang Palace.
Now that poison has been found on this needle, could it be that Yan Ran intended to murder the Queen Mother?
However, the person who found out the cause of the Queen Mother's illness just now was obviously Yan Ran, how could she dig her own grave?
Besides, even if she wanted to murder the Queen Mother, she wouldn't use a silver needle, otherwise wouldn't she be caught in the net?
Also, Yan Ran and Wen Rongan have a marriage contract, if it was really Yan Ran who was poisoned, Wen Rongan would not be so eager to kill his relatives in righteousness, right?
Su Yu was also a little confused, and couldn't understand what Yan Ran was going to do.
Yan Ran stood up unhurriedly, carefully identified the silver needle, and said calmly: "Saint, this needle is indeed used by Weichen to apply needles to the Queen Mother. However, for the sake of safety, this injection will be changed every day, and it will be returned to the Tai Medical Department immediately after use. And every time before the needle, it will be checked by Wechen and Imperial Doctor Feng and Imperial Doctor Li, and Wechen will never have the opportunity to poison the Queen Mother with this needle! ”
Imperial Physician Feng and Imperial Physician Li testified for Yan Ran: "Holy Lord, what Imperial Physician Yan said is very true! ”
Without waiting for Emperor Sheng to express his attitude, Xiao Zun snorted coldly: "Heh, Imperial Doctor Yan can find a poisoning method that even Su Yicheng can't see, it can be seen that the means of using poison are profound, and he must also have the ability to poison the Queen Mother in front of everyone!" ”
All the imperial doctors present were silent for a moment, and the older Imperial Doctor Feng stood up and clarified: "Prince Gong misunderstood, the pharmacology of the toxicity of Nanxing and Aconite on this day is not profound, but Imperial Doctor Yan is young and his brain moves quickly, and the old minister and the imperial doctors failed to think of this in time. Therefore, if Imperial Doctor Yan applied aconite to the silver needle when he applied the needle to the Queen Mother, the old minister would definitely be able to identify it! ”
Where did Xiao Zun know this, now that he was slapped in the face, he couldn't get angry, and his face was pale.
Su Yu's face was also ugly, didn't Imperial Doctor Feng's words imply that his brain was also turning fast, which could only show that his reputation as a genius divine doctor was in vain.
Yan Ran suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that someone stole the silver needle that we were supposed to send back to the Imperial Doctor's Office, and used this silver needle to poison the Queen Mother, in a vain attempt to blame us for this crime?" ”
The silver needle is poisonous, and it involves not only Yan Ran, but also Imperial Doctor Feng and Imperial Doctor Li, who served the Queen Mother with Yan Ran.
When the two of them heard this, their faces changed in shock, and they knelt down together and shouted: "Holy Lord, Weichen is wronged!" There must be someone who harbors evil intentions, so as to murder and blame Weichen! Please also ask the Holy Lord to be clear, and return the innocent minister! ”
Although the development of this situation is a little tortuous, the direction is still in line with Xiao Zun's wishes.
So, he also said earnestly: "Father, this silver needle was originally going to be sent out of the palace, and whoever it passed by along the way, and who it met, should be investigated." In this way, it is not possible to search Shoukang Palace alone. ”
Xiao Zun said, as if he remembered something again, and said hesitantly: "Erchen remembers that Imperial Doctor Yan now lives in Shouning Palace and has a pharmacy, could the thief steal the poison from there?" ”
Emperor Sheng felt that what Xiao Zun said was reasonable, but because it involved Shouning Palace, where Concubine Yun lived, he showed hesitation.
Concubine Yun immediately said: "The mourning family has a clear conscience, and the saint can go and search!" ”
This was exactly what Xiao Zun wanted, and he requested: "Father, how can the concubine's residence be checked by the subordinates at will, it is better for the sons to go in person!" ”
Emperor Sheng felt that something was wrong, and Xiao Zun's approach just solved his dilemma.
He looked at Xiao Zun approvingly, and felt more and more that this son was not only capable, but also very caring, and relied on him even more.
Yan Ran looked at Xiao Zun's impatient appearance, and there was something else she couldn't understand.
The play they did today was nothing more than to lead the Queen Mother to be seriously ill by evil spirits, and then logically proposed to search the palace.
Next, presumably they will find some pickles from Concubine Yun, and then put the blame for the Queen Mother's illness on her!
Concubine Yun is Yan Ran's backer, Xiao Zun probably wants to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, first bring down Concubine Yun, and then deal with Yan Ran, it will be much more convenient.
It's a pity that Yan Ran has nailed the cause of the Queen Mother's illness to poisoning, even what she found in Concubine Yun has nothing to do with the cause of the Queen Mother.
Moreover, it's okay if Xiao Zun can't find anything, but if he finds it, he will only suffer from it!
Yan Ran looked at Concubine Yun vaguely, and the eyes of the two briefly met in the air for a moment, and then immediately separated, their eyes full of confidence and ambition.
As expected, Xiao Zun really found a cursed puppet in Shouning Palace.
Xiao Zun presented the puppet to Emperor Sheng, looked sad, and said with difficulty: "Father, this is what the son found in Concubine Yun's bedroom, and the eight characters on it are the emperor's grandmother's. ”
As he spoke, he said to Concubine Yun bitterly: "Concubine Niangniang, this king has always respected you, how can you do such a thing?" ”
The law of the Shengguo states that anyone who harms others will be exiled and beheaded if he is serious, and the emperor's relatives are no exception.
When Emperor Sheng was young, he was also murdered by the concubines of the former emperor with this method, and as soon as this thing appeared, it poked his heart.
He was so disgusted that he didn't even want to look at the vicious spell, so he angrily threw the box containing the puppet at Concubine Yun's feet.
Concubine Yun was pale, leaned over to pick up the doll, and looked at Xiao Zun with a sneer, her cold eyes were mixed with a light that couldn't tell whether it was contempt or pity.
Xiao Zun's heart sank, and he didn't need to think about anything clearly.
I saw Mama Feng fall to the ground with a thud, crying: "Shengshang Mingjian, the eight characters of birth on this puppet belong to the concubine!" ”
