Chapter 19: The Imperial Doctor
The eldest grandson has no regrets and is still very young, not very old, just a few years ago he helped Li Shimin create the rule of Zhenguan, and his identity was the queen, and he was in the limelight for a while, perhaps it was the reason why things must be reversed, but somehow in the past two years, he has gradually fallen out of favor, just like the situation of discord between the emperor and the queen.
The maid said that the eldest grandson queen was infected with the wind and cold and was not treated in time, so she couldn't afford to get sick, so that she was like this now.
But Ji Yanli didn't think so, he took a closer look at the eldest grandson Wuregret, her Yin Tang was black, her eyes were blank, and her fingers were shaking badly, all of this seemed to be related to poisoning, but Ji Yanli You are not a doctor She just guessed, and did not dare to assert it, but asked the maid from the side What medicine does the eldest grandson and queen usually take.
The maid said: "Niangniang usually takes ephedra, peppermint, kudzu, angelica, cimicifuga and other ordinary medicinal materials boiled into a decoction and take it together, these medicinal materials are tribute from the Western Regions, I have also found other imperial doctors before to check that there is nothing wrong, but the queen mother is not getting better, and her body and bones are getting worse, and she is about to ...... What the hell is this? ”
Li Zhi seemed to realize what these four words meant in the maid's mouth, a child is a child after all, and he knelt in front of the eldest grandson queen and cried.
"Queen Mother, I don't want you to be sick, I hope you get better soon, I haven't heard the story you told me, my ass hasn't been beaten enough by you, you can't leave me so easily, please don't leave me, Mother, you will definitely get better"
The eldest grandson, who was about to fall asleep after eating the decoction, had no regrets and was cried so suddenly by Li Zhi. Woke up.
"Silly boy, what are you crying about? I'm just too tired to fall asleep, and when you cry like this, it makes me feel like I'm leaving, do you want me to leave so quickly? Be happy, it's not a big deal, you've grown up, it's time to take care of yourself."
Hearing his mother say this, Li Zhiqiang smiled: "Mother, I won't cry anymore, you have to get better soon, I won't cry anymore, I'm an adult, I want to protect you"
The eldest grandson caress Li Zhi's head with trembling hands without regrets: "Good, my good pheasant slave, this is what an adult should say"
The eldest grandson's unrepentant eyes glanced back, and he suddenly saw Ji Yanli behind Li Zhi.
"Who is this? Is he your friend? The eldest grandson looked at Ji Yanli vigilantly without regrets.
Ji Yanli hurriedly introduced himself with a deep salute: "In the Xia Qianniu Guard, Ji Yanli, the eldest son of Ji Muyang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is leaving"
"What? You are Ji Muyang's son."
Ji Yanli was very puzzled, and said in his heart: Since I entered the palace, anyone who hears my name will be shocked, could it be that there is some bizarre story hidden behind my name?
Ji Yanli couldn't figure it out.
As soon as the words fell, the eldest grandson had no regrets and planned to sit up and take a closer look at Ji Yanli, but her body was too weak to allow him to do this.
"Yes, I am his son, and my mother is the princess of Jinyang, and you are still my grandmother!"
"Good boy, really good boy I didn't expect you to be so old, this time flies so fast, the previous things happened like yesterday in front of my eyes, sometimes I really want to live again, but the years are not forgiving, God will not give me this chance again"
"Queen Mother, you really think too much" Ji Yanli comforted: "Although it is impossible to come back from the previous days, people should live in the present, although they can miss the past, but don't live in the past, such blindly entangled in the past will only make you fall deeper and deeper, unable to extricate yourself"
"But I don't bother with others, just like my child Li Chengqian, he is loyal and honest, His Majesty Mu Ne also takes a fancy to her character before he will be the crown prince, if I am not there, he will definitely be framed, framed and even harmed, if those people just want him to put down the position of prince, forget it, I am really afraid that when the time comes, they will even want his life together, you and I are relatives, so I will say so much to you, please help them after I leave"
This may be the most time that the eldest grandson has said since he was sick without regrets, after he finished speaking, he coughed nonstop, and Ji Yanli couldn't say anything if he wanted to say anything, and it was impossible to even refuse.
One day later, Ji Yanli suddenly realized that what Empress Changsun said was not a discussion, but an order.
And he also adhered to such a principle, so that when something happened later, he stood on the right side to support the new emperor to ascend the throne, and since then the Ji family has been prosperous again.
If he had refused at that time, Li Zhi's fierce eyes would have already told him what would happen next.
The eldest grandson family is determined to win the throne, even if it is the price of death.
Before coming out of the Lizheng Palace, Ji Yanli took out some of the medicinal residues that the eldest grandson queen had eaten from the maid and went to the Tai Hospital to check it out to see if you were tired.
The judge of the Tai Hospital is called Murong Yuan, and he was a third-grade imperial doctor back then, and now he is in his 50s, and his position has never changed, but he is not uncommon.
After Ji Yanli explained the situation to Murong Yuan, Murong Yuan took these medicinal residues and examined them carefully, but found no clues.
"It's all precious medicine, there's nothing wrong with it, you better take it back! Don't come again, I'm very busy here."
"Are they all precious medicines? Why do some people eat it and don't get better, but get serious! Please check it again, don't fool me so easily, you know my identity, I'm not such an easy person to be fooled" Ji Yanli saw Murong Yuan with a look of indifference, and he said angrily.
"Aren't you just a Thousand Cow Guard?" Murong Yuan glanced at Ji Yanli and continued: "I have seen more diseases than you have ever eaten, could I be wrong?" How do you speak? If he doesn't get better, that's his business, maybe the body doesn't absorb it, it will also be because of the medicine, you have to know that the medicine is poisonous, even if you eat too much ginseng, you will not be able to sleep for three days."
"Oh, I see, I really know something about what you say."
Ji Yanli thought back to what happened in the Lizheng Palace just now, the maid just said that the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to the eldest grandson queen should be taken several times a day, almost once an hour, and after drinking, he fell asleep, as if he was dead, there were no vital signs, and he woke up with pain and itching, and the cycle went on and on, even if he was a healthy person, his body would be finished like this.
"Master Taiyi, I think you must have the attendance records of the Tai Hospital's Tai Doctors here. Can you show it to me? Because the matter is urgent, I must find out, and please make it convenient for adults."
"Are you talking to me?" Murong Yuan looked at Ji Yanli with disdain and said: "Look at you as unruly, you must have just entered the palace not long ago, do you know that even if the emperor wants to see my things in person, he has to tell me in advance, what kind of person are you, looking at my things is so reasonable."
Murong Yuan's temper was very hard, even if Ji Yanli pleaded with her in the third place, she refused to agree, Ji Yanli had no choice but to resort to a killer move.
"You really don't show me, if I want to tell me whose son I am, you will definitely give it to me yourself, if you don't believe it, we'll make a bet" Ji Yanli pretended to be angry and said.
Murong Yuan didn't care at all: "Even if you are the son of the Tang Emperor, what can you do?" I haven't seen any of you, you don't use the emperor's son to scare me, I'm not scared."
"Since you say so, then listen to it, I am a person with a lot of background, I am the son of Ji Muyang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites"
Before, Ji Yanli was very puzzled, why he had just entered the palace, and anyone who heard his name would be surprised, this imperial doctor named Murong Yuan was an old man in the palace, Ji Yanli thought, he would be surprised when he heard my name.
Sure enough, as he expected, Murong Yuan was stunned at first, although he didn't say anything, but he had already betrayed him in his expression, Ji Yanli whispered: Strange, this is another person who has heard my name, was I so famous in the palace before?
Murong Yun turned around and walked to the bookshelf behind him to rummage through it, and finally found what Ji Yanli wanted.
"It's all here, see for yourself, don't mess up it for me, otherwise it's going to be troublesome to reorganize"
Ji Yanli took the visit record in Murong Yuan's hand and looked through it carefully, Murong Ren was not idle, Ji Yanli's words just now seemed to separate his chatterbox, and he began to chatter and ask non-stop.
"Is your daddy okay? How is your mother? Did your father Ji Muyang tell you about Su Jinniang? ”
"My father is fine, my mother passed away a few days ago" Ji Yanli mentioned that his mother had a little sadness in his eyes, and after a while he asked suspiciously: "Su Jinniang?" Who is she? My dad never told me."
"Really? Did you really not say it at all? Don't lie to me."
Ji Yanli thought about it carefully: "My mother once said it once when she was alive, it was my father and my mother quarreling, she said that if he was with Su Jinniang at that time, would the way of dealing with the problem become different again?" For this reason, my father was angry for a while and warned my mother not to mention this person in the future, and then I didn't hear them talk about this person, who is Su Jinniang? Why is it so mysterious, why is my dad not allowing me to mention this person again"
Ji Yanli's rhetorical question was something that Murong didn't expect either, he hurriedly avoided Ji Yanli's gaze, and even changed from sharp just now to distracted.
"Nothing, nothing, not a particularly important person, I'm just asking"
"Oh, that's the case" Ji Yanli handed the booklet to Murong Yuan: "There is a problem with your visit record, this person called Lisai has been on the clinic this year but did not indicate where he went, and he went to the queen's palace for the first time, and since then, the queen's illness has become more and more serious."
"Leaving the race?" Murong Yuan carefully recalled this person's name: "I remembered, she is a Hu person, a year ago he came to Chang'an with the delegation of the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty, he said that he liked the medical skills of the Tang Dynasty and stayed here to sit up The doctor of the Tai Hospital, and then somehow he disappeared for no reason, I didn't take it seriously, but I thought that he was more ferocious at the time, which would bring trouble to the patient, and I wanted to persuade him to think about it later, forget it, Hu Ren!" It's wild in his bones, I'm really afraid that something will happen to him in the future, and if he doesn't leave, I'll drive him away."
Hearing Murong Yuan's explanation, Ji Yanli said suspiciously: "Then do you have ephedra, peppermint, kudzu, angelica, and cimicifuga here?" There are no very large doses to prescribe."
"What do you mean by a very large dose?" Murong Yuan was a little puzzled.
"It's the kind that makes the patient drink several bowls an hour."
"We don't have many medicines here, but they are all precious, and the doctors also know the truth that medicine is three parts poisonous, how dare they prescribe so many to patients! Besides, the masters in the palace are very delicate, if something happens, I, the court judge, can't eat and walk around."
Hearing Murong Yuan's explanation, Ji Yanli probably seemed to have a clear context, since these medicines were not prescribed from the Tai Hospital, that is, there were other ways to mix into the palace and then send them to Empress Changsun, and the person who knew the inside story must be the maid in front of Empress Changsun, as long as you ask the maid, it is not difficult to ask who is the mastermind behind the scenes.
But when Ji Yanli and Murong Yuan hurriedly came to Lizheng, the maid who was still alive just now died at the gate of the palace.
