Chapter 615: This Situation Can Be Learned
Previously, when the emperor's intention to eradicate the Zhou family was not clear, this eunuch saw that he was respectful. As the emperor's action to eradicate the Zhou family accelerated, this eunuch was a little yin and yang every time he saw him. No matter how much the emperor favors you, you are just a minion, if you are like you, wouldn't you lose your identity?
It's just that this eunuch is very ghostly, and when he acts, he should be the first to get rid of it. lest he collude with King Chen and make any more trouble.
Li Zhonggui bowed down to the dragon bed, knelt down and whispered to the emperor. When the emperor heard this, his brows tightened, he thought for a moment, and said, "Don't make a noise about this matter, it's inconvenient to call other imperial doctors to come and take a look." ”
"Yes", Li Zhonggui said, "It's just that the slave thinks that what Master Sun said is inevitably too mysterious, what 'thick clouds cover the moon', the palace has never heard of this thing." ”
Imperial Physician Sun said that what the emperor did was not just an arrow, the tip of the arrow was quenched with poison, and it was a famous secret poison on the rivers and lakes "thick clouds covering the moon", which belonged to Fengyuan Villa earlier, but because it was too despicable, it was criticized by the world, and Fengyuan Villa was explicitly ordered to abandon it in order to preserve the status of the first-class sect, and this poison formula was also shelved.
It is said that when this poison was poisoned in junior high school, there was no sign of poisoning at all, and even if the wound was examined carefully, it was not detected in the slightest on the wound. Even if a silver needle is used to test the wound, the silver needle will not change color. But because his great-grandfather died of poisoning, his family really did a lot of research on this poison. It is known that if this poison is boiled by hemp, it will make the hemp boil purple-red.
It is said that when this poison was commonly used in Fengyuan Villa, his grandfather was not only looking for a way to solve it on the rivers and lakes, but many famous doctors were also looking for a breakthrough. There are also two famous doctors who have also found a way to make this poison manifest, and they are both boiling with hemp. But because it is rare to see hemp boiling in the rivers and lakes, this method has not spread. But today's hemp is boiling and discolored, and it can be seen that on this arrow, it is very likely to be quenched "thick clouds covering the moon".
After the poison, even if the person with the strongest internal strength bleeds and turns into poison, he can't stand it for an hour.
When bandaging the emperor, he found something strange, but when he thought that the person who did it might be on the spot, it would inevitably ruin the emperor's follow-up plan, so he didn't dare to show it. I can only go back to dispense the antidote to the emperor first, and then come over and talk to the emperor in detail when the Chengtian Pavilion is quiet and the antidote is ready. But he didn't want to, seeing that Zhou Yan was outside, he was still afraid of ruining the emperor's affairs, so he didn't dare to come in.
Although the situation was urgent just now, in order to ensure that Li Zhonggui and the emperor could believe it, Imperial Physician Sun still explained these things quickly, and explained the ins and outs in detail. Although Li Zhonggui said that Imperial Physician Sun's words were a bit mysterious, he still told the emperor what he said.
Finally, he said in a low voice: "Master Sun said that his ancestors had a recipe for curing this poison, so he hurried back to match it. It is said that His Majesty must take it within three hours, so that His Majesty will not worry about his life. Your Majesty, look at this......"
The emperor listened carefully to Li Zhonggui's reply, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I remember that Sun Qing came in through the assessment of the Imperial Medical Department. At that time, the investigation of these folk doctors who were admitted to the hospital, the Pure Dust Division reported his life experience, saying that his ancestors were people from the rivers and lakes, and he was hunted down and killed by the enemy, and he was the only one who lived. But he was only a teenager at the time, his martial arts were weak, and he was unable to climb on the rivers and lakes, so he thought of relying on the medical skills passed down from his ancestors to find a place to live. ”
In that assessment of the folk Lu Zhao doctors, only Sun Qingfeng's medical skills were the most skillful, and when Zhang Zhongquan reported his background, he did hesitate, and finally decided to keep the person, so he was quite impressed.
Sun Qingfeng said that this is the method of revealing poison handed down by the ancestors, and the method of detoxification passed down by the ancestors, which sounds like it does make sense.
But if you just listen to his side of the story, it is indeed a bit risky.
After Li Zhonggui finished speaking, he knelt and waited for the emperor's orders, not daring to say anything to persuade him. A heart has hung in my throat. If what Imperial Physician Sun said was true, and the emperor did not take this antidote, once the poison occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable. If what Imperial Physician Sun said was false, but His Majesty took it seriously and really took this antidote, what if this antidote was poison...... Doesn't it mean that he killed the emperor?
In the emperor's place, he is not afraid of any complaints, and he is not thinking about whether he can clear himself up. If the emperor really died because of this bag of medicinal powder, he would definitely not be able to survive, and he would definitely follow the emperor to Jiuquan and make amends to the emperor.
Therefore, when he got this package of medicinal powder, he already had a method in his heart, but he had to wait for the emperor to make his own decision, and then he proposed this method, or persuaded the emperor to accept this method.
"Father-in-law, can you give this medicine powder to the palace?" After a moment of silence in the bedroom, it was the imperial concubine who spoke first.
Li Zhonggui naturally didn't dare to make his own decisions and looked at the emperor. The emperor didn't doubt him, but thought that the imperial concubine was curious, so he nodded and asked Li Zhonggui to show her the powder.
Then he also said: "Zhonggui, you go and call a little eunuch to enter ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the imperial concubine had already twisted a pinch and sent it to her mouth! It happened suddenly, and there was no chance to stop her! In this case, it is even more impossible to shout at her to stop, and even if she does, it is useless. Just watched her swallow it!
Li Zhonggui exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly got up and snatched the remaining medicinal powder from the imperial concubine's hand.
The imperial concubine laughed in a low voice: "Father-in-law doesn't have to worry, this palace just tries this pinch, just stay in the hands of this palace, and this palace will not eat it again." If this medicine is harmless, His Majesty will naturally use it to detoxify. ”
"Niangniang's heart for Your Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth." Li Zhonggui sighed in a low voice, it was really from the bottom of his heart.
He originally thought that if His Majesty decided to taste this medicine, he would personally test the poison for His Majesty; If His Majesty did not intend to use this medicine, he advised His Majesty that he should test the poison first. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine took him first and did what he decided to do, which shows that the imperial concubine does have a deep friendship with the emperor, and she can put life and death aside.
The emperor hurriedly got up and pulled the imperial concubine to sit on the bed, rubbed her hands, and looked at her eyes distressedly: "Yaomin, why are you suffering?" Just call a little eunuch to come and test the poison, why take the risk? ”
The imperial concubine smiled softly: "If there is really something wrong with this medicine, Zhou Yan is staring outside, maybe he has ulterior motives." If you call a little eunuch over, and the little eunuch doesn't go out for half a day, isn't it suspicious? I'm afraid it's ruined Your Majesty's plan. ”
Seeing her smile so gently, not worried about her life and death at all, a trace of fear, and no sense of remorse, the emperor felt a strong tenderness in his heart, and he couldn't wait to hold her tightly in his arms as he did when he was young, and promised to share life and death. But this strong affection came up, but in the end, he just held her hand tightly and looked at her deeply......
Feeling his affection, the imperial concubine also looked at him so deeply...... There was relative silence for a moment, and no one knew what would happen in the next moment. But no one said anything that touched the heavens and the earth, and it was impossible to say anything unlucky.
Just looking at each other like this, as if they want to imprint each other's appearance deeply in their souls.
Taking this medicine is indeed selfish. She thought that if she really died for the emperor, the emperor might not bear to let Chen'er end up being killed by her brother after ascending the throne because of his debt to her, maybe King Chen would be the crown prince. However, it is only a possibility...... Just for this "maybe", she wanted to gamble.
When she swallowed the pinch of powder, she realized that her gamble was not entirely for her son, but also for him. In order to want to be the most unusual woman in his life.
When she first entered the palace, she did have the luxury of hoping that she could always be his favorite woman. Not for power, not for status, just because she loves him, she hopes to be with him in this not long life, without anyone's participation. She loves him, and he loves her, it's so simple, a couple for the rest of his life......
But this extravagant hope is just an extravagant hope after all. He was a king, and she was just one of his many concubines. Because of the status of her mother's family, and perhaps because of his affection, her status is higher. But that's about it.
Gradually, he also forced himself to put away all his love and expectations for him, and only served him as a king, not as the lover who fell in love with him after just one glance.
But in her heart, her love for him has never faded.
In her deepest and deepest heart, he was still the handsome young man who looked at her when she first saw her. At that time, between his eyebrows was already the majesty of the first emperor, but every time he looked at him, his eyes were always as pure and gentle as a young man who had just opened his love......
No matter how many times she was sad and cold after that, in fact, what she remembered was always the original beauty.
She remembered that on the night he first entered the palace, he entered the house, and after looking at her in a daze for a long time, he gently called her by her name: "Yaomin, I have seen you......"
He said it was in a dream. She smiled......
Just for that moment, to die for him, she is willing, and she is willing.
After about a quarter of an hour, there was no reaction from the imperial concubine's body. The emperor's heart finally gradually let go.
She still smiled so softly and said with a smile: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with this medicine." If not, it's just that although this pinch is not fatal, it should also be a somewhat uncomfortable reaction. Now the concubine did not feel the slightest discomfort, but her belly was slightly warm. ”
The emperor had forgotten to care about this medicine, and still just looked at her in such a daze. The hand that held her tighter, as if he was afraid that as soon as he let go, she would disappear......
Li Zhonggui knew that he shouldn't speak at this time, but because of the urgency of time, he didn't dare to delay. He could only remind in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the slave poured a glass of warm water and served His Majesty?" ”
The emperor nodded and said, "You can do it." ”
In fact, even with the imperial concubine's poison test, the emperor is still not at ease with this medicine. But I was aroused by her impulsive action, and I thought that even if there was any carelessness, it would be happy and worth it to have this love in this life and go with him.
The enthusiasm and impulsiveness of her youth were hooked by her again. Speaking of which, it is also lucky. When he was young, she aroused his initial enthusiasm and impulse, and after most of his life, she was still by his side, still able to ignite his long-dormant heart.
Being in the emperor's family, as an emperor, in terms of affection, you can't talk about "from the beginning to the end", and even can't talk about the word "affection". But today, he found that he had always had these things that he was born to have and should have. It's just hidden in the depths, and it's not revealed.
Li Zhonggui took the water cup, and because he was still a little worried in his heart, his hands trembled slightly......
