Taining Temple.

was originally a solemn occasion, but at this time, everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were uneasy.

First of all, the side hall did not know whose female relatives exclaimed, as if something had happened, and then there was a low discussion and muttering of everyone, and then, there were one or two ear tips who heard a calm female voice, which seemed to be reprimanding the women for losing their temper, and soon, the movement on the side hall was gone, and there was no sound, and even the squeak of the door opening and closing was clear in the ears.

I thought it was just a female dependent of a family who fainted with a delicate body, or a young female dependent of a family who was inexperienced and lost her honor in front of the queen mother and the princesses, so she caused this little turmoil.

Unexpectedly, before half a pillar of incense, a middle-aged envoy hurriedly ran over, and he didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his forehead, so he ran to the regent's side and whispered a few words.

Then, the regent's face changed.

Then, the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites received the new instruction and looked a little hesitant, but he still ended the ceremony in a hurry.

Originally, the Zhongyuan sacrifice was not as cumbersome as the New Year's sacrifice, and it was nearing the end at this moment. However, there is no room for failure in royal etiquette and regulations, even if it is a finishing link, no matter how reluctant you are, you always have to behave. The clans present are not stupid, they always have experience with this kind of ritual several times a year, although they can't memorize it backwards, but they also remember it clearly. Now that it has ended in such a hurry, how can they not see it?

Looking at the back of Qi Heng walking away quickly, the bolder ones at the bottom inevitably began to turn their heads and ears.

Gong A looked puzzled and said: What's wrong with the regent? This anxious face, isn't something big happening?

Yihou touched his beard, very complacent: Look at you who have no eyesight, and don't look at the direction in which the prince goes, who is in the side hall, ah?

Bingbo boldly speculated: Could it be that the regent princess is not good? I heard that this person has always been extremely weak, and the last time I saw him in the palace, it was really not very good.

Ding Gong snorted: No matter how you can, you shouldn't do it so hastily, where is your majesty like this?

Everyone was attracted by Ding's words, and Qi Qi looked towards the young emperor, but unfortunately he couldn't see his face, he could only see a thin and tall back, and half of his side face with a cold outline, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

They shook their heads, ready to leave and return home, and then gossip about today's events with their confidants, but they didn't expect to find that their mother, daughter-in-law, younger siblings and others had not come out yet. After waiting for a long time, there was still no one, which was a little strange.

The strangest thing is that there is no news, there is still a wealthy prince who likes to carry a large amount of silver tickets with him, and he just pries out some useful information from the mouth of a little yellow door who is responsible for delivering them.

The slave didn't know much, but he was busy listening to the master's mouth, and Princess Pei fainted for some reason. Not long after, someone came to the side hall and surrounded the whole place. ”

The prince of the country was a rough man, and he scolded his mother in a low voice: "This regent is too domineering, his princess is a sick man, something happened, is it possible to rely on others?" ”

A certain prince of the Hou Mansion on the side interjected timidly, "Speaking of which, a certain party seems to have seen a number of people rushing to the direction of the side hall, looking at people who look like the envoys and judges of the Tai Hospital......

Everyone's hearts sank.

It stands to reason that if it was just an ordinary minor illness and a small pain, it would be impossible for all the elders of the Tai Hospital to go out together. Looking at this battle, if it's not really bad, I'm afraid there is something else hidden!

On closer scrutiny, the latter is more likely. After all, if Princess Pei's body is really not good, why bother to come to participate in this Zhongyuan Festival? I heard that this Princess Pei is not familiar with the world, and the entertainment can be pushed, a few years ago, this kind of big sacrifice and small banquet was often absent due to illness.

If there is another hidden secret, I am afraid that this hidden secret is not small......

Everyone couldn't help but have their thoughts surging at this time, especially those whose daughters were still being detained, and they were even more worried about whether they would be involved in their own heads.

Qi Heng didn't care about the speculation and taboos of others, at this moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind that had always been strategic, but he couldn't catch a single useful thought, only the message from the envoy was constantly echoing, especially the harsh two words.

Poisoning.

Imperial Doctor Zhang was conservative, and under the questioning of Princess Kang and Princess Ning, he only spit out the assertion of "suspected poisoning".

However, those who are familiar with Tai Hospital know that this Imperial Doctor Zhang has a restrained temperament, and he has always been a true heir to his father, Zhang Yuan, in terms of rigor. The Zhang family is a family of medicine, and in addition to attaching importance to the improvement of medical skills, it also attaches great importance to cultivating the dignified character of the children. Moreover, the difference between this Imperial Doctor Zhang and his father is that he likes to delve into some out-of-the-way things, and has collected a lot of miscellaneous medical notes, even the long-lost fragment of the "Poison Sutra".

It is rumored that there is basically no misdiagnosis of any pulse cases that have passed through the hands of Imperial Doctor Zhang. In recent years, the only stain on the Zhang family is probably the public case between Zhang Yuanenvoy and Concubine Qu.

Even if others don't know the Zhang family, the Zhang family is a serious in-law of the Pei family, and nominally Qi Heng has to call Zhang Yuan's maternal grandfather, how can he not know.

If the imperial doctor doesn't say it, such a sentence is basically the final judgment. Looking for the hospital envoy and the court judge to come and sit in charge, it is not because he is afraid of responsibility, but the identity of the poisoned person is extraordinary, and today's occasion is even more special, and he is a small eight-grade imperial doctor who really has no right to speak.

Because of presiding over the previous big sacrifice, although it ended in a hurry, it was still delayed for some time.

Therefore, when Qi Heng arrived, the bearded Zhang Yuan's envoy, the all-white Zhou Yuanju, and the other Shao Yuanju, who was like a Guan Gong, had arrived, and, judging by his expression, it seemed that these people had a quarrel before he came, and the original sallow old face of the Zhou Yuanjue was about to catch up with the Shao Yuanju.

As soon as he entered the room, Qi Heng's eyes fell on Pei Bao'er, who had closed his eyes tightly and had a weak breath on the soft collapse.

Since the reunion, except for the Dragon Boat Festival birthday banquet, when she deliberately watched the play, how could he have seen her so weak, dying, as if she could ride the wind in the next moment.

He became more and more annoyed in his heart, waved his hand, and after signaling everyone to excuse himself, he asked bluntly, "What the hell is going on?" What is the final result? ”

The eyes of all the imperial doctors inevitably fell on the Zhang family's father and son.

One of them is an envoy, the other is the first to contact Princess Pei, and it is Princess Pei's foreign family, it is reasonable for them to judge, and they can't let a few of them face the regent's anger, right?

What's more, the Zhou court judge was a little dissatisfied with the poisoning theory of the Zhang family's father and son, and just now he had a quarrel about it, but he didn't win the quarrel, and even the Shao court judge was impartial and didn't give him help.

Zhang Yuan's envoy was not afraid of things, he arched his hand, and replied very calmly: "Princess Pei's pulse is weak, but she is in a hurry, and she stops and repeats, like a peck from a bird, according to the medical book, it should be a sign of poisoning." Just now, Imperial Doctor Zhang had already injected needles for the princess and temporarily controlled the speed of the poison. ”

Qi Heng's pupils shrank, and he asked in a cold voice: "What poison?" Is there a solution? ”

The envoy of the Zhang Yuan glanced at Imperial Doctor Zhang, who stepped forward and replied: "Wei Chen asked the two princesses carefully, and the slight symptoms of Princess Pei before she fainted at that time should be a lost poison recorded in the "Poison Sutra", named Youtan. This poison," he paused, glanced at Qi Heng's expression, and then continued to explain, "The toxicity is weak, and it is a chronic poison. If it is exposed over the years, the meridians will be damaged, the five organs will fail, and the ordinary doctor will not see it, but the patient will be weak. ”

Because of the rush of time, Imperial Doctor Zhang didn't explain in such detail, and Zhou Yuanju couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard it at this time.

He has always disliked Imperial Doctor Zhang, a junior who does not respect the old and respectful enough, and couldn't help but interject and provoke: "Since Imperial Doctor Zhang said that the toxicity is weak and it will take many years to be poisoned, why did Princess Pei happen to be poisoned today?" That Youqin Weichen has also seen it in medical books, and he also knows that it will take at least more than a year for this poison to show signs, and it will take about three years for the real onset of the disease. As we all know, Princess Pei has only been back in Beijing for a few months, if it was poisoned in the past few years, it would have been broken when she returned to the capital, how could she still be poisonous? Isn't Imperial Doctor Zhang's words contradictory? ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang said expressionlessly: "This is what Weichen is preparing to report." In addition to what Fang just said, when the poison accumulates to a certain extent and then breaks out, there is another way, which is poisoning. ”

The so-called drug introduction is to use a certain drug to guide the pharmacology of other drugs to reach the lesion, which plays a role in prompting and guiding. And the meaning of poison is similar, but the effect is completely opposite. One heals and saves people, and the other accelerates the initiation of poison.

"What's poisoning?"

Imperial Doctor Zhang slowly spit out three words: "Wood cloak." ”

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, he explained a few more words. It turns out that this wood crocus is an exotic thing, and the people of the Central Plains have basically never seen it, and it is also a rare strange flower in its native area. I don't know how the author of the "Poison Sutra" came across this strange flower, and discovered the beauty of it.

"In recent years, the maritime industry has become more and more prosperous, and this wood cloakflower has also circulated among the people. Weichen got a little bit by chance, so he studied a little. The fragrance of this flower is strong and lingers for a long time, and it is said that some merchants also use it to make sachets, aromatherapy and other things......"

The reference in Imperial Doctor Zhang's words is already very obvious.

After listening to this, Qi Heng closed his eyes and quickly made a decision.

"Check! The belongings of the female dependents in the side hall are not leaked to the king! ”

Zhou Yuan, who still wanted to compete with Imperial Doctor Zhang, was suddenly deflated, and seeing Imperial Doctor Zhang silent at this moment, he couldn't help but stab again: "Imperial Doctor Zhang's words are chiseled, I don't know if there is an antidote to the poison?" Now Princess Pei is still in danger~"

Imperial Doctor Zhang said: "Lord Qiqi, although Weichen Fangcai's judgment is eighty or ninety percent certain, in the end, it is still necessary to find the poison to be sure." The antidote prescription Zi Weichen has already considered it, and the medicinal materials are all in the palace, so there is no need to worry. Now the most important thing is to find the strange flower. ”

Qi Heng sighed, turned his head and said something to the person behind him, and the latter retreated and never appeared again.

It wasn't until a certain lilac sachet was turned out on the spot that the dried petals of the Passion Flower were turned out, Imperial Doctor Zhang went to grab the medicine and decoction, and then Princess Pei woke up quietly, and finally sent the two Buddhas out of the palace gate, and when the imperial doctors returned to the hospital in the afterglow of the sunset, the court judge suddenly remembered that the envoy who was familiar with one or two points of familiarity and hurriedly led the regent over had seen it, wasn't it in Fengluan Palace?
