Chapter 15 Hidden Merit and Fame 15

Just when several of the most noble people in the Ming Dynasty were silent and had plans in their hearts, the arrival of several people broke this embarrassing situation. The people who came were none other than the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital, who were known as the royal family's personal doctors. From the very beginning of their establishment, their main purpose was to treat members of the royal family, including the little emperor's family, and of course to serve as their health doctors and nutritionists. The reason why they rushed over at this time was because the little emperor directly ordered to summon them.

Since the murder of the child, the doctor was called to treat the children as soon as possible. So these doctors were the first people to come into contact with poisoned children, and of course they were also the ones involved in the investigation of the murder. However, they had almost no effect except for alleviating the condition of some people who were less poisoned, so the little emperor replaced them, and the more experienced Dongchang replaced the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital to continue to investigate the case. However, the imperial physician who has been in contact with the children must not only be tight-lipped to the outside world, but also be prepared to be questioned at any time.

As soon as Qin Tai arrived at the scene, he asked for a preliminary examination report on the corpse issued by the imperial doctor and the people from the Criminal Department at that time. The corpse of the criminal department is also available in the examination report, but Qin Tai needs to listen to the imperial doctor's statement of the children's behavior when they are poisoned. The little emperor asked all the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital to be called, firstly, to facilitate Qin Tai to ask at any time, and secondly, to let these imperial physicians learn more skills.

The imperial doctors didn't know that they were almost in trouble, and they greeted the little emperor and the queen mother together. The little emperor didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he let them in to watch Qin Tai's autopsy, and at the same time ordered everyone inside to cooperate with Qin Tai and his wife. Everything that Qin Tai and his wife want need to be prepared as soon as possible, everything that Qin Tai and his wife want to ask must be answered as much as possible, and everything that Qin Tai and his wife want everyone to cooperate with must be unconditionally followed.

When the imperial doctors walked into the ice cellar, when they took the cotton clothes sent by the brocade guards, they were a little frightened by the atmosphere of the scene. Because it was cold inside the ice cellar, the people inside wore cotton clothes to prevent them from getting sick from the cold. But these people became more relaxed because the little emperor and others were not present, and some people asked questions from a professional point of view, and Qin Tai and his wife tried their best to answer everyone's questions while performing an autopsy. These are all masters in solving crimes, and they rarely have time to communicate and learn from each other. Taking this opportunity, they asked the top experts such as Qin Tai and his wife for advice in related fields, and some of them also held the attitude of watching Qin Tai's husband and wife's jokes, and deliberately raised difficult problems to make it difficult for Qin Tai. Qin Tai and his wife not only did not get angry, but patiently answered and instructed everyone, which made people who already respected their husband and wife even more admire Qin Tai and his wife.

The imperial doctors immediately integrated into the discussion, because they also had a lot of questions they wanted to ask Qin Tai and his wife, especially Qin Tai, a multi-faceted capable person. The question of Taiyi A is why do the children eat snacks at the same time, but there is a sequence of onset? The question of Taiyi Yi is why some children are mildly poisoned after eating dim sum, and some children die immediately after eating them? Taiyi C's question was even more acute, his question was why the eldest son of King Lu, who ate the most dim sum, lasted longer than the princess who ate very little? One of the most important questions of the doctors is what kind of poison the children have? Can the other children who have not died completely detoxify and recover?

After Qin Tai and his wife looked at the corpse of the criminal department, and listened to the course of the disease described by the imperial doctor, they stopped the work of dissecting the corpse at hand. Because Qin Tai and his wife found a major problem, that is, because this is the problem of the ice cellar. The children's bodies were placed in the ice cellar, and although it was possible to ensure that the corpses did not decay and deteriorate in a short time, the inside was frozen. The blood is not flowing, the internal organs have become clumped, the intestines have been decomposed and deformed, and the toxins in the corpse have either been lost or entered the internal organs and cannot be identified, and the autopsy has lost its due effect. Qin Tai and his wife didn't expect this result, but they didn't expect it to be so serious.

It turned out that the people in the palace were worried that the children would still stink if they were placed in the ice cellar, so the little emperor would blame them for not doing things well. The light one beat them severely, and the heavy one killed them. In order for their butts not to bloom, and for their food guys not to move, they cleverly put the children's corpses directly on top of the big ice cubes and froze. Although this ensured that the exterior of the corpse was intact, all the useful evidence inside had been destroyed, and the ultimate purpose of preserving the corpse had been lost.

Qin Tai and his wife were disappointed by the disappearance of the most powerful evidence in the end, and they were also worried about themselves. Because the first deceased to do an autopsy was the daughter of the little emperor, they had already dissected the body of the little princess. Now if you go and tell the little emperor that the autopsy is useless, and the other dead don't need to be autopsied, the little emperor will definitely not be able to stand it. King Lu and his wife will definitely be happy, and the families of the other deceased will also breathe a sigh of relief, but what will the little emperor think? Qin Tai and his wife can't tell the little emperor about the process of solving the case, and they can't tell the little emperor because the little princess is the first to die, so the first autopsy must be the little princess. The little emperor would not listen, nor would he understand Qin Tai's approach. The little emperor would even suspect that Qin Tai and his wife were deliberate, the purpose was to target the little emperor and retaliate against the little emperor for imprisoning them in Yong'an Temple.

Qin Tai and his wife glanced at each other, ready to wait for the little emperor to punish or even beat. Qin Tai handed over the finishing work to his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao, and Zhan Xiaoxiao stitched up the wound for the little princess, changed into clean clothes, and let the little princess be neat when she left. This is also the last respect that Qin Tai and his wife have for the deceased, even if this little princess doesn't understand, they have to do it. Qin Tai changed out of his work clothes while answering everyone's questions, and told everyone present with a more understandable expression.

Qin Tai first answered the last two questions raised by the imperial doctors, which were also the most important answers that everyone was most concerned about. By carefully observing the appearance of the deceased, analyzing the statements of the imperial physician and the corpse of the criminal department, Qin Tai basically determined the cause of the children's illness. First, the children were indeed poisoned, and the deceased died of a toxic attack. Second, the poison in the children is the same poison, which excludes the possibility of the children being poisoned at home. Third, this kind of poison is relatively violent, and it will not exceed the time of one stick of incense after poisoning. If the time of one stick of incense is converted to the present, it is about one to two quarters of an hour, which is about fifteen minutes to half an hour. In view of the statement of the imperial physician and the condition of the children at the time of the illness, it is basically certain that the children really ate the same kind of dim sum in the queen's Kunning Palace before they became ill.

Because the doctors poured mung bean soup into every child who ate the poisonous snack in time, the toxins were alleviated and the medicinal properties were neutralized. So except for a few children who didn't have time to be treated and left before the drug could be neutralized, the other children basically saved their lives. Due to the differences in their age and constitution, the degree of illness of these children is different, but it is basically certain that they can be completely detoxified. As long as Qin Tai and his wife determine the type of toxin, they can work with the imperial doctors of Tai Hospital to formulate an antidote, and they can be completely detoxified soon after taking the corresponding antidote.

The Imperial Physician and the people from the Criminal Department each had a small piece of dim sum left over from the scene of the Kunning Palace crime at that time, and Qin Tai carefully cut off a small piece from each of the two dim sums. After a piece of dim sum was completely crushed by Qin Tai, it was put into a strange-smelling medicine bottle and mixed with some potions. The remaining piece of dim sum, Qin Tai handed it to his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao, and Zhan Xiaoxiao put the dim sum into a small sealed iron box. Qin Tai told everyone that this bottle of potion is a potion they usually use when testing for toxins, and ordinary toxins can be tested for toxicity through this. If this bottle of potion doesn't work, find another way to test the toxicity in the snack.

Regarding Qin Tai's answer, some people looked a little more relaxed, but a few people looked solemn. Qin Tai and his wife also knew what these people thought, and Qin Tai's answer pointed the finger directly at Queen Wang. After the children were poisoned, everyone put the blame on Queen Wang and the subordinates of Kunning Palace, where Queen Wang was located. Queen Wang once defended that maybe these children had been poisoned before they came to Kunning Palace, or they were poisoned after eating snacks given by other children, not necessarily because there was a problem with the dim sum in Kunning Palace, let alone that she was poisoned by Queen Wang. Now Qin Tai's conclusion is aimed at at least two points against Queen Wang, first, it is impossible for the children to all eat the same kind of dim sum in their own homes, and it just so happens that the same kind of dim sum is poisoned in it. Second, Qin Tai said that this toxicity is very strong and the onset is fast, and the children are sick in Kunning Palace, and they have been in Kunning Palace for at least nearly an hour before. In other words, the biggest suspect is only this Kunning Palace, and Queen Wang is the owner of Kunning Palace, so she can't get out of the relationship anyway. The people in the Criminal Department knew better that after the murder occurred, after the Criminal Department arrived as soon as possible, they had questioned all the sober children and adults present. Everyone said that they basically didn't bring telecommunications to Kunning Palace, and even if they brought some snacks, they didn't take them out for the children to eat. Because the queen prepared a lot of refreshments in order to entertain everyone and the children, with these refreshments carefully prepared by the imperial chefs, where can you get the snacks you brought. This further proves that the reason for the children's poisoning came from the dim sum of Kunning Palace, and the children not only died in Kunning Palace, but also died after eating dim sum from Kunning Palace. Now the queen is going to be in big trouble, don't say that the little emperor doesn't want to see this queen in the first place, even if the little emperor wants to protect the queen is very difficult. After all, the dead children were not only the daughters of the little emperor, but also the children of the two ministers and the two sons of the prince.
