Chapter 54: Poinsettia
The phoenix turned out to be blind, and I was frightened, and hurriedly ran to the phoenix's dormitory.
Dressed in a deep robe, the phoenix was groping her way through the dormitory alone. "Qing'er, where are you?" The phoenix called my name helplessly, because I couldn't see it, I tripped over a low stool under my feet, and one stumbled and fell to the ground.
My heart immediately became entangled, poor phoenix had only lived a few good days, and his eyes were blind again, which was really distressing.
"Childe, what are you going to take? I am here. I hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and led him to a chair.
"Qing'er, will I not be able to see it in the future?" Phoenix asked, holding my hand tightly.
"No, no! It will be fine in a few days, you don't have to worry. ”
"Qing'er, I'm so scared!"
"Childe, don't be afraid! Qing'er will always be with you! ”
"Hmm......" Seeing that Murong Chong's state of mind gradually calmed down, I asked Qiao'er to look at him. I hurriedly went to the hospital to ask for a doctor.
After the imperial doctor came to the Wutong Hall to see, he couldn't say why, and finally said that it might be because the phoenix had been reading and writing too much recently, so let him observe it for a few days.
It's not okay to count on these quacks in the Tai Hospital, Qiao'er said that if we go to the emperor, the emperor loves the phoenix so much, he will definitely find a way.
"No, let's go and ask the emperor, we must have sent these quacks over, let's think of another idea." I say.
"Qiao'er, I'll go to Jingyang Palace, you take a good look at the phoenix, don't let him go wrong." I told Qiao'er, and then hurried to Jingyang Palace.
The queen listened to me, and she said, "This head is not injured, and the possibility of losing sight is extremely low." There has always been no shortage of these tricks in this palace, and it seems that some individuals can't hold it anymore! In this way, Aunt Rong, you go outside the palace and invite the famous doctor Zhang Liang into the palace. ”
"Yes, mother, I'll go."
"Thank you, auntie."
In the afternoon, that Zhang Liang came to the palace, and I hurriedly took him to the Wutong Hall and asked him to treat the phoenix.
Zhang Liang carefully observed the phoenix's eyes, and carefully inquired about the phoenix's recent food and medicines. Oddly enough, there's nothing wrong with any of these things.
That's strange, what exactly is the problem? Dr. Zhang was also puzzled.
"Doctor, there's one more thing that hasn't been checked!"
"What is it?"
"Some time ago, my son-in-law had many redness and swelling on his skin because of flower allergies, so the imperial doctor prescribed some Chinese medicine packets for medicated baths for my son, which he used to take a bath."
"Qiao'er, quickly take out the rest of the Chinese medicine bag and show it to Dr. Zhang." I say.
"Girl, those Chinese medicine packets have been used up."
"What about the residue left over from the bath?"
"It's all in the backyard!"
"Then go straight to the backyard and test it! Trouble Dr. Zhang! I said.
"You're welcome!"
When we arrived in the backyard, Dr. Zhang Liang carefully examined the residue of the medicinal bath, sometimes smelling, sometimes looking, sometimes touching.
"Girl, if it's convenient, can you give the bucket of the child's medicinal bath to the next inspection."
"Naturally, you can."
Zhang Liang carefully observed the medicated bath barrel, especially the inner wall of the barrel, and Dr. Zhang carefully looked along the wall of the barrel by candlelight. After reading it, he looked confident.
"What the hell is going on, doctor?" I asked.
"Girl, is there a lot of poinsettia in this palace?" Zhang Liang asked.
"Poinsettia?" I heard the name familiar to me, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it for a while.
"Girl, there are dozens of pots of poinsettia in our Wutong Palace, and it is in Concubine Yu's bedroom."
"Concubine Yu?" How could there be in Murong Xue's palace?
"Yes, girl! Half a month ago, after Concubine Yu's leg broke at the Dragon Dance Conference. The crown princess sent a lot of poinsettia to Concubine Yu, and I heard that this poinsettia has the effect of reducing swelling of bones. Qiao'er said.
"Doctor, this magenta is a medicine that can cure diseases, what does it have to do with Childe's eye disease?" I wondered.
"The girl didn't know that this infrared compress was non-toxic, but it could not be taken internally. If you take a large amount, you will be poisoned to death. In addition, the white emulsion inside the rhizome of poinsettia should never enter the eyes, and if it accidentally gets into the eyes, it can cause blindness. ”
"What?" I gasped in fright.
"I found a large number of mashed poinsettia leaves in the residue of this medicinal bath. In addition, the inner wall of the barrel of the medicated bath was also found with the remnants of a poinsettia white lotion. Presumably, when the son was taking a medicinal bath, the poisonous juice accidentally mixed into his eyes, which led to blindness! ”
"It's really hard to prevent! Every day, I would test the poison boy's food with a silver needle before I was relieved to let him eat it, but I didn't expect it to be ......"
"The amount that Childe takes every day should be very small, and such a small dose of silver needles can't be poisoned. At the beginning of consumption, there will be vomiting and diarrhea, red and swollen skin, etc., and over time, day after day, it will become more and more serious, and even poisoning death! ”
I was so shocked that I almost couldn't stand.
"Doctor, is there any way to detoxify?"
"Alas...... The amount of Childe taken is not much, and now there is no fear of life, just be careful not to take it anymore. But these eyes are really powerless, and the blindness caused by poinsettia may be temporary or permanent, it depends on the creation of the child! Dr. Zhang Liang said helplessly.
"Is there really no way?" I looked at the doctor eagerly.
He shook his head helplessly.
"Thank you, doctor, thanks to you today, if it weren't for you, Childe would only be afraid that he would continue to be poisoned, and the consequences would be unimaginable." I sincerely thank Dr. Zhang.
"Qiao'er, you go and send off Dr. Zhang well, thank him for me!" I commanded Qiao'er.
"Yes, girl."
After sending Zhang Liang away, I fell into a deep self-blame, I knew that Murong Xue was uneasy and kind, but I still gave her a chance, I really deserved to fight.
Recalling this period of time, Murong Xue was very attentive to Phoenix, and it turned out that this was the plan. She mashed the stems and leaves of the poinsettia and applied them to the wounds every day, presumably with poisonous juice on her hands. Then she made a snack for Phoenix, and the snack must be poisonous. As the days went by, day after day, Phoenix ate the snacks she made every day, and the poisoning became deeper and deeper. If Murong Xue did it intentionally, but this medicated bath bag was prescribed by the Tai Hospital, how could poinsettia be mixed into the medicine bag? And it's a lot of mashed stems and leaves, which is simply impossible if someone didn't do it intentionally.
The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, Murong Xue suddenly appeared at the Dragon Dance Conference on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and then broke her leg inexplicably, and then the crown princess rewarded her with dozens of pots of poinsettia for her to treat her leg injury. Then Phoenix had allergy symptoms, and the hospital prescribed medicine.
Who has such a great right to instruct the people of the Tai Hospital to do such a hurtful thing. All the evidence points to one person - she is the crown princess who has the supreme rights of the harem.
