As if a very complicated problem had been solved, Qu Fang breathed a sigh of relief and put the prince's still bleeding fingers back on the edge of the bowl.

"Hongu is coming." Su Qiang sat on the edge of the bed and straightened Li Cong's fingers.

Qu Fang breathed a sigh of relief silently, and was about to retreat outside the tent when he heard Su Qiang's cold voice sound: "The chief manager of labor will take the spices burning in the palace and give them to Dr. Zhang to test." ”

Qu Fang's eyelids raised in surprise and silently withdrew.

Not long after, a drawer of spices was put into Zhang Qixian's hand.

Because Su Qiang doesn't like to burn incense, there is no incense burner here. Zhang Que first lit some incense on the wooden spoon that scooped the medicine, lowered his head and sniffed carefully.

"This palace thinks that a silver needle should be used to check drugs." Su Qiang watched his movements and said lightly.

Zhang Que replied without raising his head: "If the silver needle works, you have already tested it over the years." This drug investigation still depends on our Zhang family's dog nose. ”

Call your sense of smell a dog's nose, and there are not many in the world.

Su Qiang looked at Zhang Qixian silently.

He had already spread out the spices on the table, his eyes fixed on the fine powder, his nose moving slightly, and it took a long time to raise his head.

A pair of eyes looked at Su Qiang brightly, and sighed: "It's a shame that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess can find this." ”

"Really?" Su Qiang said.

"How so!" Qu Fang's eyes also widened.

Zhang Que nodded heavily.

"The villain used my other two fingers to assure that the poison was indeed hidden in the spices."

Su Qiang looked at Qu Fang, with a hint of doubt in her eyebrows: "Chief Administrator, if the palace is not mistaken, this spice should come from the palace." ”

Qu Fang slowly knelt down.

"The old slave didn't notice it, causing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be seriously ill, and he asked the Crown Princess to punish him."

Su Qiang motioned to Zhang Yinbao, who was standing at the door of the hall: "Come and help your master." Said slowly: "Don't worry, don't worry, let's answer Bengong's words first." ”

Qu Fang was like a cloud falling into the mist, and suddenly said: "For so many years, the East Palace has been using this spice. Because the spices were given by the emperor and happened to be liked by His Royal Highness the Prince, they were never bought outside the palace. ”

The words speak for themselves.

The spices come from the palace, and the people who want to harm the prince are in the palace.

Su Qiang looked at Zhang Yinbao and said coldly: "There is one thing in this palace that I don't understand, since this spice has been burning for so many years, why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone has been poisoned." ”

Even if the palace maids and maids in the East Palace are changed every year, hasn't Qu Fang, who often follows the prince, smelled it for so many years.

"That's the wonder of this poison." Zhang Que first stroked his beard and said: "This poison is called 'Mi Yin', let's put it this way, just like the medicine when taking medicine, the difference is that this poison is just to cause symptoms." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suffered from typhoid fever at the age of nine, and lingered on the bed for a long time, at that time, the poison took the opportunity to invade the lungs and implicate the meridians. After a long time, it will eventually be cured. ”

This is the most vicious but hidden method.

Who would take so long to poison a person.

So that he will not be killed with one blow, but has suffered every day for so many years, and finally it is difficult to maintain his bones.

Su Qiang's heart was cold, and then a wave of anger rushed out from the soles of her feet, and her face changed color.

Zhang Que lowered his eyes first and said: "Five years ago, the villain was just suspicious, but now, if you don't pull out the poison immediately, the prince may not survive the winter." ”

It's the turn of spring and summer, and it's only half a year away from winter.

Qu Fang blinked, and tears appeared on her face.

"Please also ask the doctor to do his best to treat him." He knelt down again: "Otherwise, the old slave will really have no shame to go to see the first queen." He lowered his head and cried, "I was so negligent before, and I ask the doctor to forgive the old slave." ”

"Hey," Zhang Que waved his hand first, with a frightened expression: "The chief manager stands up quickly, the villain hasn't finished yet." ”

"This poison, the villain uses a silver needle to pull it out, and the effect is very slow." I heard that this poison came from the South China Sea, and there is an antidote to the poison, and I have to ask Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to find this antidote. ”

Su Qiang turned her head to look at the people sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed and nodded.

"When will the prince wake up?" She asked.

"Maybe it's tonight." Zhang Que replied first, took a step back, and carefully put away the powder on the table.

Su Qiang noticed that he did not dispose of it casually, but carefully put it into his medicine box.

After all the twists and turns of the past few days, Qu Fang's whole person seems to be several years older. Zhang Yinbao stepped forward to support him and sat on the spring bench to rest under Su Qiang's instructions.

It's dawn.

Su Qiang retreated left and right, and only she and Xiaoqing were left in the hall.

"Your Highness, the poison comes from the South China Sea, could it have something to do with that person?" Xiao Qing said cautiously while helping Su Qiang wrap the prince's fingers.

"No," Su Qiang shook her head: "Although the county lord is from the southern lands, he is obsessed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Who will poison her sweetheart if she is a girl's family? Besides, the prince was still young when he was poisoned, how could the county lord be so vicious? ”

Xiaoqing nodded.

Su Qiang said again: "Qu Fang has asked people to secretly remove the spices used now, and replace them with new ones. You have to take a good look at Xiaohe these days, and beware of her sending the news back to the house. ”

Xiaohe, who married with Xiaoqing, has been so wary of it since Su Qiang found out that he was writing to Shangshu Mansion.

"Your Highness," Xiao Qing frowned, "Now that I know that the prince is poisoned, can I go to the palace to complain?" ”

"Sue?" Su Qiang laughed and gently stroked her head.

Raising his head, his eyes looked deeply into the distance, and said lightly: "You also heard, the spice is given by the emperor, do you want to sue Your Majesty?" ”

Xiaoqing muttered: "That's naturally not Your Majesty." ”

"It's not Your Majesty, but you can easily poison the spices, who do you think this person will be?" Su Qiang's expression was cold.

"Could it be ......" she was halfway through her words when she suddenly covered her mouth.

Su Qiang sighed softly.

At the beginning, the first queen, the ministers implored Emperor Xuancheng to choose a good person to marry again, but Emperor Xuancheng helped the concubine to be the queen despite the obstruction, which is now the successor.

I heard that the reason why Emperor Xuancheng was like this was because the prince was seriously ill and did not wake up, and then served by the bedside for more than ten years, and he did not leave his clothes without leaving an inch. Because he kept wiping the prince's forehead with a white linen cloth dipped in water, his fingers were worn out.

But......

People's hearts are so unpredictable, and they need to be on guard everywhere to this, Su Qiang feels that it is better to fight with a knife and a gun on the battlefield.

Is it so that the crown prince dies and his own son can succeed to the throne smoothly?

"Xiaoqing," Su Qiang looked at the ignorant maid in front of her, and said slowly, "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor also uses this spice." ”
