Chapter 35: A thorough investigation
"So, Imperial Doctor Zhou, are you sure that this concubine is not poisoned?" Su Jingxi leaned lazily on the couch, and her tone was indifferent, as if she was saying, "The weather is so good today".
Doctor Zhou bowed, "Weichen's diagnosis is indeed so, the pulse of the master of Zhen is vain, and the observation ......"
"What you said is true?" Zong Zhengjin came in from outside, interrupted him, and asked directly.
"The concubine sees the emperor," Su Jingxi didn't expect him to come over now, and wanted to get up and salute, but was stopped by him, "No need to be polite." ”
"I ask you, are you willing to use your life to guarantee that Concubine Zhen is really fine?"
Imperial Physician Zhou obviously didn't expect the emperor to come over at this time, and he was worried in his heart, "Weichen's diagnosis is indeed like this, as for Master Zhen's qi and veins, Weichen dared to guess that it was ......."
"Guess? I raised you, just prevaricating with the word guess? Zong Zhengjin interrupted him, "Su Shunxian, go and ask the imperial doctor again." ”
When Imperial Physician Zhou heard this, he didn't dare to argue for himself, he didn't finish explaining what the master had done, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with him when he went back, but it was better than angering the emperor now.
Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly walked in with the two deputy judges, the sweat on his forehead wet his sideburns, and he didn't realize it, "Weichen see the emperor." ”
"Get up, show it to Concubine Zhen."
The one that Imperial Doctor Zhang only saw last night, since he knew that the emperor was different from this one, he didn't dare to delay at the moment, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check the pulse, and repeated it several times before changing to another imperial doctor.
After the three of them were diagnosed, and after whispering a few words, Imperial Physician Zhang knelt down, "Back to the emperor, Weichen thinks that Master Zhen is a sign of poisoning, and he should have taken the sleeping love flower." ”
"Sleeping flowers?" Su Jingxi and Zong Zhengjin spoke at the same time, the two glanced at each other, Su Jingxi smiled instead, in exchange for Zong Zhengjin's shake.
"Back to the emperor, the sleeping love flower is also known as the white mandala, it is said to be common in the southern part of the Western Regions, the person who takes it to set the diet, so that people are drunk, then they tend to be in a hurry, and they don't feel pain when they take it for a long time, and it doesn't hurt people, so that people ...... in their sleep."
Zong Zhengjin hurriedly asked, "Then she is deeply poisoned?" Is there a solution? ”
Imperial Physician Zhang and the two imperial physicians behind him glanced at each other, "Back to the emperor, Master Zhen used very little, and if he found it in time, Imperial Physician Liu has a way, maybe you can give it a try." ”
He also made repeated diagnoses to dare to be sure, the amount of Zhen Concubine was indeed very small, could it be because of yesterday's incident, today was oversensitive, and by mistake she was found out by good luck?
"Go down and prescribe medicine, I want you to come and see Gu Zhen's body, if there is anything, don't blame me for being ruthless," there should be no less warning.
Imperial Physician Liu suddenly felt a cool breath rise from under his feet, and his head fell to the ground, "Weichen is willing to guarantee with his life." ”
"By the way, check this drunken cloud dock," Zong Zhengjin said coldly as they were about to walk out of the inner room.
The three of them hurriedly responded.
"Isn't the emperor busy?" Suddenly, there were only the two of them left in the inner room, Su Jingxi had nothing to say, he should have come over after the next dynasty.
Zong Zhengjin observed carefully, and saw that in addition to her face being a little pale, there was no fear in her eyes, "It's okay, I can't delay anything for a moment, but isn't Xi'er afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid, didn't the Imperial Doctor say it's okay? Besides, there is also the emperor, you won't let the concubines have trouble, right? Su Jingxi blinked and chuckled.
Zong Zhengjin felt quite hated that iron could not become steel, "You, you, there will always be times when I can't take care of it, and you yourself have to prevent others from taking advantage of it." ”
As an emperor, reminding her that such a sentence is the limit.
The corners of Su Jingxi's mouth rose, "How does the emperor know that the concubine is defenseless?" ”
"Really?" Zong Zhengjin raised her eyebrows, but she didn't really take this sentence to heart, just as she was usual, and wanted him to praise her.
…………
The two of them in the inner room chatted as usual, and it seemed that there was no poisoning at all, and there seemed to be no difference between life and death at all, but the outside had already exploded.
Concubine Zhen was poisoned, and now the news of unknown life and death is quietly circulating in the palace under the impetus of several people, everyone is waiting and watching, and everyone is seeking the most beneficial plan for themselves.
For a while, there was a rare calm in the harem, which was just a precursor to the coming storm.
Drunken Cloud Dock
Imperial Doctor Zhang and several other imperial doctors repeatedly inspected every flower and grass in Zuiyunwu, one by one, and after an hour, they were still at a loss.
"Ask the emperor for forgiveness, Weichen is incompetent, and he has repeatedly checked the entire Zuiyunwu, and he has not found a trace of abnormality."
Zong Zhengjin frowned, obviously not expecting this result, "What about eating?" ”
"The first thing Wei Chen and the others checked was to eat, and the strange thing was that there was nothing wrong with it," Concubine Zhen found that she was inappropriate as soon as she finished eating, and those used up meals were left in Zuiyunwu, and there was a special person to take care of them, and no one touched them.
Su Jingxi was happy, "Listen to Yao, isn't there still a chestnut cake?" ”
Ting Yao hurriedly went in and took out the leftover chestnut cake that the master had used before, "I'm tired of Imperial Doctor Zhang to take a look at this." ”
Imperial Physician Zhang took it, checked it repeatedly, and finally shook his head, and considered the wording, "Back to the emperor, this chestnut cake is not abnormal, Weichen dared to guess, but Master Zhen accidentally contaminated these dirty things outside?" ”
"Outside?" Su Jingxi obviously thought of something, "How long has this concubine been poisoned?" ”
"This sleeping flower needs to reach a certain amount to make people sleepy, Weichen looks at the pulse of the master, the weight is very light, and it will take only one or two days."
Zong Zhengjin, who Su Jingxi could think of, could naturally also think of it, "Don't make a public announcement about this matter first." ”
The problem is not in Zuiyunwu, that is his Zichen Palace.
"I ask you, how is Concubine Zhen's body? Can it be suitable for breeding an heir? ”
Imperial Physician Zhang was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses, "Back to the emperor, Master Zhen's body is very healthy, and it is still possible to conceive an imperial heir, but it is better to wait a while, otherwise it will be more difficult to produce than ordinary people." ”
The emperor wants to give Concubine Zhen an heir? Although he was afraid of the emperor's Long Wei, but according to his guess, if he didn't make it clear at this time, what happened to that person at that time would not be something that he could bear as a little imperial doctor, after all, how to say it at this time, and to what extent it was still up to him.
Zong Zhengjin nodded, waved his hand and motioned for him to step back, "I have left beforehand, you take care of your body, don't get out of the drunken cloud dock if you have nothing to do." ”
"Okay," Su Jingxi didn't ask him what he planned to do, nor did he say that he had to give her an explanation.
"Su Shunxian, give me an investigation, if you can't find out, you don't have to be the chief eunuch," Zong Zhengjin stepped out of the drunken cloud dock and said to the people who followed closely behind.
Su Shunxian didn't dare to be careless at all, "The slave must do his best." ”
"Master," after the emperor left, Ting Yao hurriedly walked in.
Su Jingxi walked to the window and pushed open the closed window, "Let Xiaofuzi come in." ”
"The slave greets the master."
"Xiaofuzi, you have made a great contribution this time, let's say, what reward do you want?"
A simple ordinary sentence, Xiao Fuzi was stunned and his heart was cold, "The slave does not dare to take credit, it is the master who has foresight." ”
Su Jingxi sneered, "Don't worry, the concubine you did has a good idea, and someone will bring her up." ”
Dai Qing was carried up by two eunuchs, and his body looked intact, but he was actually scarred, in this palace, there were all kinds of torture, leaving no traces, but it could make people's life worse than death.
The whole person was already soaked, as if he had been fished out of the water, and was thrown ten steps away from Su Jingxi.
"Dai Qing, what do you say you are suffering? I have been with this concubine for the longest time, when has this concubine treated you badly? ”
Dai Qing's eyes were cloudy, and when he heard this, he gathered his strength and turned his head to the source of the voice, "The master has indeed never treated the slave and the maid badly, but she has never reused the slave and the maid, why is she Dai Man, why is she more favored by the master than the slave and the maid......"
"How can the master still look down on you for those things you have done yourself, and you don't find fault with yourself, but you are blushing at me?" Hearing this, Dai Man took a few steps forward and pointed to the person on the ground and said loudly.
Su Jingxi didn't care about her unruliness, and waved her hand, "Do you have any last wishes?" ”
The word "last wish" also represents her way out.
Dai Qing's face turned pale uncontrollably, he got up and knelt down, and kowtowed three times seriously, "Please don't implicate the slave's family, the slave and maid are willing to suffer alone." ”
Su Jingxi sighed, glanced at the servants in the room, and lightly opened her lips, the sound was like heaven, but it seemed to be floating in the clouds, "One servant does not serve the two masters, this concubine has said many times, if you want to live well, the premise is that you have to live well with this concubine, and then there are you." ”
"The sin is not as good as the family, this concubine is in a good mood today, and it will be all your filial piety, all of you should be a good deed, you must not follow suit, after all, not everyone has such good luck as her, drag her down to death."
The two eunuchs hurriedly dragged the person with a dead face down, and the moment he was about to step out of the door, "Everyone goes to watch the execution, this concubine wants you to remember her fate, next time, there are still people who knowingly commit crimes, only worse." ”
Everyone was pale, and Xiao Fuzi was also afraid, commanding Xiao Anzi and the others, "Drag it away, don't disturb the master's tranquility." ”
Zichen Palace
"Are you sure there isn't one here?" Zong Zhengjin frowned and sat on the top, his face unhappy.
Imperial Physician Zhang knelt down, "Weichen really didn't find it." ”
Zong Zhengjin naturally knew that he was telling the truth, and thought about it, "Can the sleeping flower have to be taken to have an effect?" ”
"Not necessarily, it's the same when it comes into contact with human skin, but the effect is not so obvious."
"Su Shunxian, where is the Mu Hibiscus that was placed there yesterday?" Zong Zhengjin pointed to the windowsill and said loudly.
The flowers in the Zichen Hall are changed every day, even if they are still fresh and beautiful, they are still re-potted by a special eunuch every morning.
"The slave will go to find it," Su Shun replied leisurely, and hurriedly went to the back garden of the Qianqing Palace with the two eunuchs, and not long after, he came back with a pot of slightly wilted hibiscus flowers.
