Chapter Fifty-Four: The Deeds Have Been Revealed

"Ahem...... Ahem......" Liu Yuanzhi lay on the couch and frowned.

"Little master, what's the matter, wasn't it better a few days ago? Why has the cough been so bad in recent days? Qingli brought a basin of hot water into the house.

Han Yue took the basin and put it on the small table, she soaked the handkerchief in hot water, and after wringing it dry, she wiped the sweat on Liu Yuanzhi's forehead, and then said, "I also have to bother Sister Qingli to ask Imperial Doctor Ye to take a look at the little master." Qingli answered, and left in a hurry.

Ye Ziling came in a hurry with the medicine box, and he was still panting for breath when he saluted, it seemed that he had come all the way. He calmed down his breath, then sat down to check Liu Yuanzhi's pulse, Ye Ziling couldn't help frowning, and asked seriously, "What are the symptoms of the little lord recently?" ”

Zi Mo thought for a while and replied, "After taking the medicine a few days ago, I got better, but in the past few days, I don't know what's wrong, and the cough has suddenly become much worse." ”

"There are also little masters who often feel dizzy and chest tightness these days." Cold Moon added.

Ye Ziling thought for a long time after hearing this, but his brows became tighter and tighter. A few days ago, he came to Linhuadian almost every other day to ask Liu Yuanzhi for peace, Liu Yuanzhi's symptoms are also seeing that she is getting better day by day, but compared to others, she is always getting better slowly. Just like Han Yue was also infected with wind cold, but he was cured after only taking a few pairs of medicines prescribed by Ye Ziling. Ye Ziling originally thought that it was because of Liu Yuanzhi's weak body that the disease would get better slowly, so he prescribed medicine to slowly recuperate for her. But now it seems that there is something else hidden.

Ye Ziling thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Although my medical skills are not as good as my master, I can't cure even a small wind and cold. Even if the small body is weak, no matter how slowly the disease recovers, it will not be as capricious as it is now, or even aggravate the disease. ”

Han Yue saw Ye Ziling's expression, and listened to his words again, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, and she looked at Ye Ziling with a nervous expression, "But what could be wrong with this medicine?" ”

Ye Ziling raised his eyes to look at Han Yue, he knew that Han Yue was thinking of going with him, he nodded and said, "I can't say for sure now, but I have some doubts." ”

Han Yue hurriedly asked, "Zi Mo, do you still have the little master's medicine?" Go and get it for Imperial Doctor Ye to see. Zi Mo heard Han Yue's tone, realized the seriousness of the matter, and his expression became nervous. She thought about it for a moment and said, "There is only one last pack of medicine left, and I just happened to finish frying it today." ”

"Then bring the dregs." Ye Ziling said. Zi Mo responded, and immediately walked away to get it.

Ye Ziling picked up the basket containing the slag, rummaged through it, smacked it, flipped it over again, and then took out some small scraps. He picked up the scrap and looked at it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and to make sure it was safe, he put it in his mouth and tasted it. His face suddenly changed drastically, and he said angrily, "Such a vicious method! ”

"But what did you find?" Hanyue asked.

"Someone has done something in the medicine I prescribed to the little master." Ye Ziling said. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he could still hear the anger. In his view, medical skills are used to cure diseases and save people, not to harm people.

"Then what did the other party do?" Cold Moon's expression became more and more difficult to look at.

Ye Ziling said, "The Banxia in this medicine has been replaced with a water Banxia. Banxia is warm and spicy, with obvious antitussive, expectorant, detoxification and antinausea effects, and is often used to treat cough and phlegm, asthma, chest fullness and nausea and vomiting. And the water has no antitussive effect in Banxia, so your cough has not been good. In addition, a few more herbs have been added to this medicine, which is exactly what Chinese medicine calls eighteen anti-nineteen fears. ”

"What is eighteen anti-nineteen fears?" Hanyue asked.

"Half of the shellfish attack the black, the algae halberd then the coriander war grass, the ginseng and the peony rebel vernoa. It means that Banxia, melon, fritillary, white and white root are opposite to aconitum, seaweed, euphorbia, gansui and coriander are not in harmony with licorice, and ginseng, salvia, sand ginseng, and succulent ginseng, all ginseng, fine pungent root, red peony and white peony are contrary to quinoa. The accumulation of things that restrain each other will hurt people's lives! The person who uses this medicine is very careful not to be fatal all at once, but it can also achieve the goal slowly. I also carefully grind the drugs into pieces and mix them in, if you don't distinguish them carefully, it is actually difficult to find. Ye Ziling explained.

"What a despicable means!" Hanyue said resentfully.

After Liu Yuanzhi listened to Ye Ziling's words, her face seemed to become even paler. She exhaled deeply and sighed, "There are still people who can't help but kill me." ”

"It's Weichen's fault, I didn't find out what was wrong with the little master early." Ye Ziling looked annoyed and blamed himself.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, and those who want to do it will always find a chance to do it." Liu Yuanzhi shook her head and said.

Zi Mo looked at the medicine residue in the basket, and said with a serious face, "This medicine was taken from Imperial Doctor Ye by the slave maid in person when she went to the Tai Hospital, just in case, this medicine was also fried by the slave maid herself, so when did these pickled things get in?" ”

"Where do you put all the medicines that aren't fried on weekdays?" Hanyue asked.

"They were all kept by the slave and maid alone, without going through the hands of anyone else. Could it be ......" Before Zi Mo finished speaking, Han Yue added for her, "I'm afraid that someone took advantage of your absence and secretly let it go." ”

After speaking, several people had solemn faces.

Han Yue and Liu Yuanzhi suddenly remembered that some time ago, they encountered a snake in the begonia soup, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and the meaning was self-evident. Liu Yuanzhi has always been lenient and kind to people on weekdays, and she is also very good to these slaves and maids, but she didn't think that there would be a spy who betrayed the master in this Linhua Hall after all.

Zi Mo was angry, stood up and said, "The little master is so good to them, and there are still such heartless white-eyed wolves. Presumably, the spy still has unused medicine in her hand, and the slave will go and get her out now! ”

"Zi Mo, don't startle the snake. If you disturb that person and let her destroy the incriminating evidence, it will be more than worth the loss. Han Yue persuaded Zi Mo in time, and then said to Ye Ziling, "I also have to trouble Imperial Physician Ye to go to Fengluan Palace and report this matter to the Queen Mother, Zi Mo, you go with Imperial Physician Ye." ”

Ye Ziling walked to the door with the cold moon, and Ye Ziling deliberately said loudly, "Please rest assured, Miss Yue'er, the little master is fine, maybe it is because the little master's body is weaker until it has not been better, wait for Weichen to prescribe a few more pairs of medicine for the little master to eat." ”

"Then there is Imperial Physician Lao Ye, Zi Mo, you go to the Imperial Hospital with Imperial Physician Ye to get medicine." After saying that, Hanyue turned around and entered the house.

In Fengluan Palace, the queen was very angry after hearing Ye Ziling and Zi Mo's report, someone dared to act so blatantly under her nose, and it was the people who surrendered to her. Which people are not dealing with Linhua Palace, the queen has a spectrum in her heart, she feels that this may be an opportunity to take advantage of the opponent, so when she listened to Ye Ziling's words, she immediately took someone to Chengming Hall in person.

The queen had a lotus tongue, and she didn't know what to say to the emperor, so the emperor immediately put down the official duties in his hands, and drove the Linhua Hall of the Hook Yi Palace, and took care of Liu Yuanzhi.

The emperor and queen came suddenly, and everyone in the Linhua Palace didn't know what was going on, so the emperor immediately ordered someone to search the palace, and as a result, the remaining medicinal powder was found in the room of the little palace maid Bai Wei. When Bai Wei was dragged out by the two chamberlains, she was still struggling, shouting that she was wronged.

Zi Mo saw that the traitor who was dragged out was actually Bai Wei, who usually looked honest, her whole body trembled with anger, and she couldn't wait to rush up and tear her face, "Bai Wei, have you forgotten that your mother was terminally ill and had no money for medical treatment, and it was the little lord who kindly gave you the money to send home?" That's how you take revenge? Qingli, Xiao Guizi and others in the Linhua Hall all looked at Bai Wei with great disdain and disdain.

"Say, who instructed you to murder Liu Cairen?" The queen asked sharply.

Bai Wei knelt on the ground, her expression was already very panicked, but her mouth was still clenched, "Queen Mother Mingjian, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid really don't know how these things can appear in the slave's room." ”

"It's time to come to an end, and I'm still hard-mouthed!" The queen had lost her patience, and seeing that she would not say anything, she commanded in a cold voice, "Come, and be flogged until she is willing to speak." ”

When Bai Wei heard this, her body shook violently, and she immediately sat on the ground. The whip used for flogging in the Dayue Palace is not an ordinary whip, the surface of this whip is not only nailed with fine thorns, but also soaked in salt water. If this whip is blown, the skin will definitely open and the flesh will bloom, and the salt water on the whip will seep into the wound, and the pain will be heart-wrenching!

Bai Wei's body trembled incessantly because of fear, like autumn leaves trembling in the west wind, and at this moment, her heart was extremely struggling. How terrible this punishment was, it was not something that she could bear as a weak woman, and how much she wanted to tell the truth, but because of something, she finally bit her lip and kept silent. She didn't look at everyone, but just knelt on the ground with her head bowed, and wept again and again.

After the queen spoke, Bai Wei let the two chamberlains drag her to the middle of the courtyard and whip her.

In the Yusheng Hall of Chonghua Palace, "Niangniang, Niangniang, no, Bai Wei was caught, and the emperor and queen went to Linhua Palace." The maidservant Tao Yao hurriedly ran in from outside the hall and said.

"It's really useless to do this little thing!" Concubine Yeon squirted. Li Chongrong didn't know whether Concubine Yan Shufei was talking about her or Bai Wei, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.

Concubine Yan then glared at Tao Yao, "Why are you so flustered?" What's going on with this palace? Hongu has never done anything. She said and looked at Li Chongrong on the side.

Li Chongrong hurriedly smiled and said, "What Niangniang said is that all this naturally has nothing to do with Niangniang. Please rest assured, the concubines have been arranged, even if something happens now, there is a scapegoat, and it will not involve us in any case. ”
