Chapter 16: Five Stones
Recently, rumors in the palace have risen again, at first it was one or two palace maids, and then it became more and more widespread.
In fact, the women in the palace repeat the same thing every day in the harem, and the idea and rumors are like things to relieve boredom in private.
The unsightly things are like broken rags gnawed by rats, and the viruses spit on the tip of the tongue, intertwined with everyone's speculations, squeaking and squeaking in the moldy corners to take root and sprout, and grow sinful blood-colored flowers.
People's words are terrible, and their voices can hurt people.
The palace is deeply locked with countless women, and their bodies are like flowers in the palace, blooming brilliantly when they are prosperous, and they are worse than falling leaves when they fall, and they disappear silently like the autumn wind.
This is especially true of those who are hurt by rumors, those who are unbearable, those who are crazy, those who sigh, those who sympathize, and even more who laugh at them.
Guan Qingqiu's fearlessness of rumors at this time was not innate, but slowly immunized in the desperate situation day after day in his previous life, and there were no fewer unobedient words in the house at that time than now.
It was difficult at first, and then it faded......
With the rumors of Li Concubine's grace, Li Concubine's temperament was much gentler after being snubbed, one day Shen Yan came out, and saw her waiting in front of the front door of Qingzhao Palace, wearing a plain palace dress in the cold wind, plus much thinner, she looked more and more weak.
Shen Yan frowned and said, "How can you stand outside when the wind is so strong." β
"The concubine has just arrived." Seeing him frowning, Concubine Li hurriedly said, "I made a lot of things before, and I want to send them to Anhua Hall to burn for that child." β
Shen Yan heard the words and asked people to accept them, and said, "You have a heart." β
Concubine Li said in a low voice: "That's all the concubine can do." β
"ββSome time ago, the concubine was too sad and had no intention of losing her words, but now that she thinks about it, she is blessed, and I hope the saint will not be angry." Concubine Li looked at Shen Yan with a pair of apricot eyes.
Shen Yan looked at her, not knowing why there was a trace of weirdness on her face, but the expression disappeared in an instant, and then her face was covered with a look of relief: "You can think like this, I can rest assured, the child will still have it." β
Concubine Li also felt that something was wrong, but in the blink of an eye, Shen Yan's expression was the same as usual, and at the moment she only thought that she had seen it wrong, and pulled Shen Yan with a smile like a flower.
It was a long time before Concubine Li realized that that look was smiling rather than smiling.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the beginning of October, something happened that shook the palace.
Jiang Rumu, who has been engaged in the hospital for a long time, committed a disaster that is a bit absurd to say.
Shen Yan was standing under the pear blossom wooden window lattice of the Qingzhao Hall at that time, looking at the endless and overlapping palace shadows, thinking that it was already October, and he didn't know if the people had enough grain in autumn......
Li Yu also just found out that someone in the Tai Hospital found out about taking Wushisan!
Wushisan, also known as cold food powder, is said to treat wind and cold, but in fact there is another "wonderful use". There was an article like this that described the symptoms after inhaling "cold food powder": "The clan brother grows to each other, and the tongue is retracted into the throat; Liangfu of the East China Sea, carbuncle and sunken back; Longxi Xin is long, and the spine is rotten; Zhao Gonglie of Shu County, six mournings in the middle table. What the cold eats and scatters is also. It can be seen that the current situation and its worrying heart, after eating it, it is like madness, and its state is unbearable.
Li Yu knew that this matter was not trivial, and hurriedly told the saint.
Sure enough, Shen Yan's face immediately sank after hearing this, and anger loomed in his eyes.
The imperial physicians in the palace are all selected after many selections, and only those who score first-class in the examination for innocence can become doctors, among which those with excellent medical skills need to sit in the inner court for three years before they can be promoted to the imperial doctor, and then they can be promoted after nine years.
That is to say, it takes six to nine years for a doctor to participate in the assessment of the imperial doctor, and he can only go to the Tai Hospital after heavy screening.
Needless to say, Jiang Rumu's medical skills are also elegant and elegant in front of people, who would have thought that such a person would knowingly commit a crime and secretly consume such an evil thing as Wushisan!
"Holy Lord, the slave found this in Imperial Physician Jiang's palace." Li Yu handed over the thing he was holding in his hand to Shen Yan, and when he heard a crisp sound, he immediately knelt on the ground in a panic: "Holy Lord's anger!" β
The turquoise jade Buddha beads ticked all over the ground, it was Shen Yan who accidentally used too much force to cause the bead thread to break, and Li Yu saw the corner of the cold incense burner on a pearl that was recognizable.
"It's ridiculous!"
Shen Yan listened to Li Yu's words, needless to say, his heart was furious, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and the muscles and bones at his knuckles were protruding, and if he looked closely, there was a bit of a male hideous feeling......
He is a man who came on horseback, and his years of emperor career have not worn away the fierceness in his bones, but he is usually pressed in a deep and secret place.
Wushisan can be said to harm others and oneself, harming many good men, I don't know how many people will die in this white in their lifetime. In the powder, Jiang Rumu has practiced medicine for generations, and he will not know how far this thing is poisonous.
But he knowingly committed it, still in the heavily guarded Forbidden City!
"Check!"
Shen Yan almost spit out the word from between his teeth!
The green tendons on his face flared up slightly: "I want to see how he has such a great ability to bring Wushisan into the palace with many guards." I want to see...... Who is it, breathing behind his back! β
"Yes." Li Yu rarely saw Shen Yan so angry, so he hurriedly went down to investigate.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The queen and Concubine Jia and several high-ranking concubines were all in the palace, originally Guan Qingqiu's identity was just a beauty, so it stands to reason that he couldn't come, just because Guan Qingqiu was with Shen Yan at the time, so they came together.
The queen and others came one after another, and the people in the palace were well-informed, and they could see the clues from the inner supervisor who passed the word, and then Shen Yan's face was gloomy, not angry and arrogant, and he knew that something big had happened.
After sitting down in order, Shen Yan spoke: "Recently, rumors in the palace have risen again, even more than before, does the queen know?" β
These words are asking for sin, and the queen stood up and said: "The holy forgiveness is because the concubine is incompetent and cannot stop the spread of rumors, but the concubine thinks that rumors are fearless, the key is to find out whether the rumors are credible?" β
Shen Yan said: "Li Yu." β
When Li Yu heard this, he came up with a lacquerware plate, on which was a confession, still with bloodstains, and Shen Yan waved his hand to signal them to look.
The palace maid beside her had already opened it for everyone to read it one by one, which was Jiang Rumu's experience of taking Wushisan.
Guan Qingqiu was also shocked when he saw it, he didn't expect such a thing to happen in the palace, Wushisan is something that the court strictly guards!
The queen sighed and said: "Imperial Doctor Jiang is conscientious in the palace, and he doesn't want to do such a wrong thing, Sanfu, you can say it." β
Sanfu Gong beside the queen said publicly: "The slave went to the Tai Hospital to inquire, and found out about this matter, Wang Taiyi has been on duty in the Tai Hospital for a short time, and is currently only helping some older grandmothers to see a doctor, that day when he went out, he remembered that the silver needle was not brought, and when he temporarily went back to get it, he found that Jiang Taiyi's expression was abnormal, so he kept an eye on it, and one day when no one was around, he found five stone san hidden in the wall in the residence of Jiang Taiyi. β
The queen asked, "Imperial Physician Jiang usually has many friends, but no one noticed that he was taking Wushi San?" β
"Imperial Doctor Jiang is usually very cautious, and his words and deeds are as usual, so no one has found out." Sanfu replied, "And the slave also found Concubine Li's prescription in the Tai Hospital, and the prescription was hidden extremely secretly, so the slave felt strange and took it out." β
Concubine Li couldn't sit still when she heard that the child involved her, and almost rushed over and asked, "What?!" β
Shen Yan was also momentarily surprised when he heard it, and when he saw Concubine Li flashing a trace of impatience, he immediately suppressed it and said slowly: "Sit down, what is the noise and shouting." β
Concubine Li saw that Shen Yan's face was not angry, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous, she sat down honestly, but her eyes were still glued to Li Yu.
Shen Yan took the prescription, and when he saw that it was written on it, he gave it to Li Yu next to him, "Let Imperial Doctor Li come and take a look." β
After Imperial Physician Li came, he compared this prescription with the archived prescription, and his expression was serious: "Back to the Holy Lord, this prescription looks the same, and there is a slight difference in the amount of medicine in it if you look carefully, among them, the cold medicinal materials have been aggravated, Concubine Li Niangniang's physique is cold, and long-term use of such a drug will make you feel frightened and weak, and the dragon fetus is naturally not easy to land." β
Several concubines' faces were a little faintly pale, and they all couldn't detect it when they thought of such a method, if they were pregnant in the future, wouldn't they die under such a recipe?!
Concubine Li froze when Imperial Physician Li spoke, and when he finished speaking, she collapsed on the rosewood chair as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Concubine Jia Guifei hid her face and said with disgust: "What a poisonous mind, such a delicate way to harm people is used on a baby who is still swaddling." β
Concubine Li was awakened by Concubine Jia's words, got up from the chair and knelt at Shen Yan's feet and wept incessantly: "Holy Lord, please be the Holy Lord for me!" I originally thought that it was the concubine's own happiness that she couldn't keep the child, but I didn't expect to be killed! The man's vicious mind unconsciously made the concubine gone, now that I think about it, the concubine was always frightened during that time, I just thought it was my own crankiness, but I didn't expect that someone deliberately murdered, the child was only three months old, and it was so alive and gone, that child ...... He's innocent! β
Even though Concubine Li is usually arrogant and unpopular, seeing her crying sadly and shouting about her children, the people present couldn't help but be moved, and the soft-hearted Shu Zhaorong couldn't help but wipe her tears with a silk.
Shen Yan's eyes were beating something, and he personally reached out to help Concubine Li up, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation, I want to kill the emperor's heir, and I want to know who." β
Shen Yan's eyes seemed to be cold, cold to the bone: "This palace can't tolerate such a traitor, Li Yu has already taken someone to search, as long as I find clues, I will definitely ask him to pay for his life!" β
