Chapter 026: Cause of Poisoning
Probably the last thing in the house to want the emperor to wake up is the eight princes, the eight princes are neither the eldest son nor the concubine, but they are the most popular among the ministers, and they are also the virtuous kings in the hearts of the people.
Since Imperial Physician Yuan learned that it was poisoning after diagnosing it for the emperor, he knew that the house was poisoned, but the medicine in the prescription was extremely difficult to find, and he needed to use the purple leaves of the shore star as the medicine.
"How is the emperor?" Just when the imperial doctor was at a loss, the national teacher rushed over.
"National teacher." All the people in the house, except the queen, saluted him.
And the queen also greeted him: "National Teacher".
In fact, according to the etiquette, as the imperial concubine and the prince, there is no need to salute the national teacher, but the emperor needs to give him some face, and they, the concubines and princes, naturally do not dare to hold it up.
However, the national teacher was not arrogant because of this, but appeared very humble, and also bowed to the queen and several imperial concubines and princes respectively.
Since he entered the house, he smelled the smell of soothing incense in the house, and after seeing the emperor's face, his heart was already clear.
And Imperial Physician Yuan told his diagnosis again, and then said with some embarrassment: "National Teacher, this poison is not difficult to solve, but this is not used as a medicine in the Shore Star Purple Leaf Hospital." ”
Naturally, the National Teacher's Mansion has this herb, but he also knew that there was also one in the treasury of the Imperial Palace, so he didn't let people go to the National Teacher's Mansion to get it, but looked at the eunuch chief on the side: "Isn't there one in the treasury?" ”
After his reminder, Gonggong De remembered: "Yes, yes, the slave remembered, one of the items paid tribute by Zhu Liguo a few years ago was a herb, which was the Shore Star Purple Leaf." ”
"Then why don't you hurry up and get it." Hearing that there was a treasury, the queen hurriedly asked her father-in-law to fetch it.
Father-in-law De did not hesitate, and went to the warehouse to get the shore star purple leaf that had been stored for a long time.
Since there is a recipe for detoxification, everyone in the room is relieved, except for the eighth prince, but he doesn't dare to show it on his face.
"Come on, take all those people to death." The queen commanded loudly.
There are more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs kneeling in the courtyard outside the door, they are all serving by the emperor's side, and now the emperor has been poisoned, and as the emperor's subordinates, they can't get out of it.
"The queen mother's life, the queen's mother's life..."After the queen's order, those people outside the door begged the queen for mercy.
"Queen Mother, please calm your anger, this matter has nothing to do with them." The national teacher already knew the reason, and he didn't want so many innocent people to die in vain.
Of course, the queen will not refute the words of the national teacher: "Since there is a national teacher to intercede for you, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and each person will be held accountable for twenty." ”
Although the emperor's poisoning has nothing to do with them, it is also their poor service, and they are already extraordinarily gracious for such a punishment.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you, Master Guoshi..."
It didn't take long for the voice of reproach to come, probably the relationship for the rest of their lives, and they all felt that today's board didn't seem to hurt as much as they imagined.
At this time, Gonggong De had already taken the Anxing purple leaf and handed it to Imperial Physician Yuan, and Imperial Physician Yuan, who had obtained the herbal medicine, did not delay, and immediately went to boil the antidote.
"The queen mother, the sons have the courage to investigate the poisoning of the father and the emperor, please hand it over to the sons." The eighth prince said that several princes have always liked to compete for merit, and now after the matter in front of him is done, he may be able to impress his father.
After he said this, the second prince and the fifth prince also asked the queen to hand over this matter to them, but the fifth prince is the queen's own son, of course she will be partial: "Leave this matter to Nanchen." ”
"Yes, the son will definitely catch the murderer." The fifth prince also knew that if he handled this matter well, he would be a little more sure of the canonization.
"No need to look it up." At this time, the national teacher, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke.
Hearing this, the people in the room were all surprised: "How can the national teacher say this?" ”
"Father-in-law De, has the emperor been suffering from insomnia lately?"
The asked Duke De tried his best to recall the emperor's recent situation, nodded and nodded: "Yes, the emperor has always had insomnia in recent days, and he often coughs at night. ”
"Then why don't you ask for a doctor?" Hearing that the emperor was in poor health, his tone couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied.
Father-in-law De is a celebrity around the emperor, and the queen usually gives him a little thin noodles, but at this time, it is related to the emperor, and his voice is a little louder.
However, even if Father-in-law De is a celebrity around the emperor, he doesn't dare to say that the queen is not, so for the queen's dissatisfaction, Father-in-law De immediately bent down and replied: "Queen Mother, it's not that the slave doesn't ask the imperial doctor, it's the emperor who doesn't let the slave invite, and says that it would be good to put on the soothing incense, so the servant ordered the soothing incense according to the emperor's instructions." ”
Since the emperor didn't let him go to the imperial doctor, the queen had no reason to blame Gonggong De: "It's the palace that wronged you." ”
"The minions don't dare." In the face of the queen's apology, Father-in-law De did not dare to hold it up.
"National teacher, what does this have to do with the poisoning of my father?" The second prince asked puzzledly, and the rest of the people were also full of doubts.
"The emperor's previous dysentery has not been cured, and one of the medicines taken is a medicine with white mustard seeds and soothing incense, there is nothing wrong with using it alone, but if the two are mixed, it will cause poisoning, if you don't believe it, wait for Imperial Doctor Yuan to come and ask him."
"The national teacher still understands medicine?" The second prince asked.
They had never heard of the national teacher who understood medicine, so they were surprised by his statement.
"I know a little bit about it." Obviously, the national teacher didn't want them to know that they knew how to heal.
It didn't take long for Imperial Physician Yuan to boil the medicine and bring it to the emperor to take it, and the second prince told Imperial Physician Yuan the words of the national teacher, and Imperial Physician Yuan also nodded again and again, saying that the national teacher was doing well.
It's no wonder that Imperial Physician Yuan didn't understand how the emperor was poisoned, it turned out that the room was lit with a soothing incense, but the soothing incense had already finished early in the morning, so the smell in the room was very light at this time, and he didn't smell it.
Since the national teacher and Imperial Physician Yuan both said that the emperor was poisoned by two and two, it is natural that they will not continue to pursue it, and the five princes who lost this opportunity to make meritorious service also feel sorry in their hearts, but there will be opportunities for meritorious service in the future, so they are relieved.
The emperor took the medicine, and his face had begun to improve, but it was still a few hours before he woke up, and it was already late at this time, so the queen asked everyone to leave, and the five princes stayed to serve the disease.
For this arrangement, several imperial concubines and princes naturally disagreed, and it was okay to investigate the emperor's poisoning before and let the five princes go, but now it is the time to show their faces in front of the emperor, how could they let go of such a good opportunity.
"Queen Mother, since you are serving illness, how can you let the five princes be alone." Xiao Guifei said.
Concubine Chen Xian also echoed: "Yes, if you want to serve the sick, you will have a few princes together, and they also want to do their filial piety in front of their father, can't the queen not give them this opportunity?" ”
Although the harem looks peaceful on the surface, secretly it is not for you to fight for it.
"That's it, then Yang Han and Meng Ran should stay together." The queen also knew that if she really insisted on not letting Yang Han and Meng Ran stay, I am afraid it would backfire.
The matter has been resolved, and the national teacher is not continuing to stay in the palace.
When he returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, Yu Heng was wandering around the medicine garden: "What kind of treasure am I supposed to be, isn't it just some broken herbs." ”
When he saw the two weed-like shore star purple leaves, he couldn't help but step forward and pull them out: "Stay here all day, and you won't pull out the grass when it grows, really, let me help you pull it out, who let me be so kind." ”
