Chen Ju has to check someone purposefully, that is, he can quickly check the bottom, and wait until it is confirmed that the time when Cui Yun went to Qixiang Palace on the day before Niangniang's illness is a little special, and it is not the time when she usually goes to Qixiang Palace.

Chen Ju decisively put Cui Yun off the Department of Ceremonial Supervision and Interrogation, without questioning first, and on three sets of punishments, and when Cui Yun was brought to Chen Ju, his face was already bloodless and embarrassed.

"Cui Shanggong, do you know why our family invited you to sit in the Interrogation Division?" Chen Ju asked.

"I don't know." Cui Yun said with his eyes closed.

"What's the use of Cui Shanggong's hard mouth? After entering the Interrogation Division, can you still get out of the way? Cui Shanggong is a smart person, so he naturally knows that if he says it early, he will be relieved as soon as possible. Chen Ju said.

"I'm a palace man with rank, can you just execute me?" Cui Yun asked with a sneer.

"Cui Shanggong doesn't know that there is really trouble in this palace, and it is much better to die than to be half dead." Chen Ju said, "The queen mother has always been a benevolent person, even if you really get into trouble, the mother will also spare your life for your sake, but do you think that if the news of Cui Shanggong's detention spreads early tomorrow morning, will anyone else come in and ask for your life?" ”

"Now there is only one hour before dawn, Cui Shanggong think about it." Chen Ju said.

Cui Yun was held by the hand and knelt in front of Chen Ju, keeping his head down, until Chen Ju said leisurely, "It's dawn, you listen, the sound of the palace coming alive outside, Cui Shanggong, have you figured it out?" ”

Cui Yun slowly raised his head, looked at Chen Ju and said, "There is a box under the bed board in my room, there is a key in it, you can open another box, that box is hidden under the innermost shelf of the Treasure Pavilion of the Shanggong Bureau, it is a double-layer box with gold sandalwood inlaid with mother-of-pearl, after opening it, I will first see a set of pendants of jade and jade daggers, and there is a dark layer below after taking it away." ”

"You give the contents to Imperial Doctor Xu to see if you can cure the mother's illness with the right medicine."

Cui Yun said with tears on his face, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't think about taking the life of the queen." ”

Chen Ju's face was solemn, he personally went to find something, under the secret grid was a booklet, an ordinary roster, Chen Ju didn't dare to pick it up and look at it, put the box away, went to Yingtai with a smoke, and woke Xu Duzhong up, "Imperial Doctor Xu, look, what does this booklet have to do with the queen's illness?" ”

Xu Duzhong saw medical skills last night and saw that he didn't sleep until midnight, and he was very impatient with his brows furrowed, and he came immediately after hearing the words. "What is this? Where are you from? Are you sure it has anything to do with Niangniang's illness? ”

"Don't ask where you came from." Chen Ju said, "If it's not related, I won't bother you, only whether it has anything to do with it depends on you, I don't dare to touch it." ”

Xu Duzhong took it cautiously, and then opened it, "Yaoyu? ”

"No, no, there's a dark compartment down there." Chen Ju reminded.

Xu Duzhong finally saw that it was a roster and felt strange, he carefully picked it up, looked left and right, it was the name of the newly added palace person, in this world, there should be no words to get sick, then it should not be to ask for a doctor, but to invite a Taoist priest. Unless there is another article on the paper. I got closer and smelled the ink first, nothing out of the ordinary, and licked it again, nothing special.

Chen Ju watched nervously from the side.

Xu Duzhong went to smell the smell of the paper again, he couldn't smell it once, and he smelled it a second time, the taste was very faint, and he could almost ignore it, but when he was an imperial doctor, his five senses, especially his sense of smell, were still stronger than others, and only this little bit was wrong, so Xu Duzhong still caught it.

He tore off a small piece of paper and chewed it in his mouth, then his expression changed dramatically, "Go get a pot of water." ”

Chen Ju followed suit, "Imperial Doctor Xu, but what's wrong with this paper?" ”

"What are you doing here?" Xu Duzhong pushed him, "Hurry up and ask Niangniang's palace people if Niangniang had read this brochure before she got sick." ”

When Chen Ju heard this, he immediately asked people to invite the disease-free side of Niangniang, "Quietly, don't alarm people." ”

When she was called to Xu Duzhong's side, she was still a little apprehensive, thinking that she had helped her mother pour out the medicine and didn't drink it yesterday, so that Imperial Doctor Xu found out, but when she saw Chen Ju, she instinctively felt that something was wrong and looked nervous.

Xu Duzhong tore a few pages of paper at this time and boiled them in a pot of clear water, and below was an incense burner, "Come and see, have you read this booklet before her illness?" ”

Wuxian took a closer look, "This should be the roster of new palace replenishers that Cui Shanggong gave to Niangniang, it was sent by Cui Shanggong the afternoon before Niangniang's illness." ”

After constantly stirring, the paper in the clear water slowly turned into flocculent, and the clear water gradually turned amber, even if the ink melted, it shouldn't be this color, and the disease-free expression changed, "Could it be?" ”

Chen Ju motioned for her not to ask anything, just looked at Xu Duzhong, "Imperial Doctor Xu, is this paper poisonous?" ”

Xu Duzhong shook his head after carefully looking at it, "It's like a prescription, not poison." ”

"Then does this have anything to do with Niangniang's illness?" Chen Ju asked.

Xu Duzhong's expression was serious, "There should be dogwood, rehman, turtle shell, ginseng, white mustard seeds, etc., and there are some ingredients that can't be found out in detail, but the ingredients found out should be a prescription for blood treatment, but the proportion is very large, not the weight of normal treatment, if a normal person eats it, I am afraid that he will die of blood explosion." ”

"Niangniang is only a quarter of an hour younger than reading this booklet, what powerful medicine will have such a big effect?" No disease asked.

"I'm afraid it's the ingredients that can't be found at work." Xu Duzhong said that he scooped a cup in a teacup and let it cool a little and then drank it all, "When I drink it to see what it does, I can know what effect it has on Niangniang's illness." ”

"Imperial Doctor Xu?" Chen Juhe exclaimed.

"Imperial Doctor Xu just wants to test the medicine, let me try it, if Imperial Doctor Xu falls ill, who will come to take care of Niangniang?" Chen Judao.

"No one drinks it as well as I drink it myself." Xu Duzhong said, "Don't worry, if it's not poison, you won't die if you drink it, and there is still room to turn around." ”

"Go and do your own business." Xu Duzhong closed his eyes and said. "I'll call someone to find you when I have the result."

Chen Juhe came out without illness, Chen Ju wanted to rush back to the palace to interrogate Cui Yun, who gave her the book? Wuzhi is obviously incredulous, "Is it Cui Shanggong?" ”

"Don't tell your mother about this yet." Chen Ju said, "This matter is not something that the mother said that she could not investigate if she didn't investigate." ”

Returned to Wang Ronghe without illness, Wang Ronghe didn't drink medicine yesterday, and wanted to eat and meat willfully, but the stomach and intestines adapted to the soup for a long time, and could not recover immediately for a while.

"It's normal to have diarrhea, don't make a fuss." Wang Ronghe said.

Because he didn't take medicine, Wang Ronghe's spirit was a little better, and when he saw that he was sick, he smiled and discussed, "Let's eat it with broth today." In fact, I was wrong yesterday, I should have eaten soup and rice yesterday, and when my stomach is familiar, I will eat dry rice today. Wang Ronghe found out about her abnormal performance, "What's wrong?" ”

No illness waited until there was no one around, and only when there were two of them, they told Chen Ju and Xu Duzhong.

"Father-in-law Chen said that he wouldn't tell his mother, saying that this is not a matter of his mother saying that he would not investigate if he didn't investigate."

"Why don't you check?" Wang Ronghe raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is there a mother-in-law who wants her daughter-in-law to die, since she has this thought, we have reached the point where you are dead and living." ”

"Gonggong Chen is also afraid of his mother's generosity, so he swallowed it in order not to embarrass His Majesty." Disease-free said.

"That's Your Majesty's problem." Wang Ronghe smiled bitterly and said, "Mother and daughter-in-law, you have to choose one of the two." In the past, I was sorry for Your Majesty and didn't want Your Majesty to be embarrassed, but now that someone wants my life, I still calm down? Without life, Your Majesty doesn't have to be embarrassed, but how can I endure it, I'm not really without any temperament. ”

"I am His Majesty's wife, and before this, I am also me, a human life."

"It's just that I don't want to come to this point, what am I doing badly, she can't let me go here?"

"Now that I am the daughter-in-law she chose, I'm afraid no one will believe me?" Wang Ronghe shook his head after laughing at himself.

"There is nothing to blame for what Niangniang has done, it's just that the Queen Mother wants to manage too much." Disease-free said.

Wang Ronghe looked at a certain point in the void, stopped talking, and was not interested at all.

When the news that Cui Yun was taken down by Chen Ju reached Shou'an Palace, Empress Dowager Li frowned, "Because of what?" ”

"I don't know." The palace man said, "Chen Ju is not easy to deal with, and the interrogation department can't splash water, otherwise we should have gotten the news last night, and we shouldn't have found out that Cui Yun was not in place this morning and knew that something happened to her." ”

"Has Chen Ju been interrogating her?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"I don't know." Palace humane.

"Go look it up." Empress Dowager Li said, "Let him come to see me before he goes to His Majesty." ”

Mama Gu stepped forward, "Niangniang, Cui Yun won't say it, right?" ”

"If she's smart, she shouldn't say anything."

"But if she was really smart, she wouldn't show her whereabouts for Chen Ju to discover." Empress Dowager Li said, "You are sick and leave the palace, change your name after leaving the palace, and hide in a place in the capital that no one knows." ”

"Fortunately, I found out at this time." Empress Dowager Li said, "Even if it really hits me in the end, Your Majesty will find out that you have misunderstood me and feel sorry for me, can you still be angry with the mourning family, there is more than one daughter-in-law, and there is only one mourning family." ”

Gu Mama quietly walked out of the palace, but Chen Ju was ready to stare at Shou'an Palace, Gu Mama went out of the palace, and when she left the eyes of the people of Shou'an Palace, Chen Ju's people appeared and beat her and took Gu Mama back to the palace.

Mama Gu appeared beside Cui Yun, and Chen Ju looked at Cui Yun and said, "It seems that I don't need to ask you who gave you the booklet in question." ”

Cui Yun was already a little delirious, she looked at Mama Gu, and muttered to herself, "You said that this medicine will only make Niangniang fever, suspected of an epidemic, how can you harm Niangniang to be so sick?" ”

When Chen Ju heard this, he waved his hand and asked them to take the two of them down to guard them separately, "Before facing the saint, don't let the two of them die, after I leave, no one is allowed to enter or leave here." ”

Chen Ju galloped to Yingtai again, this time someone in the palace reported his whereabouts to the Empress Dowager Li, and the Empress Dowager Li asked people to watch the way from Yingtai to the palace, and it was important for Chen Ju to come to Shou'an Palace once in front of the saint.

Chen Ju came to Yingtai and told Xu Duzhong what Cui Yun said, and Xu Duzhong said, "I already know." There was still a hint of flushing on his face.

"A quarter of an hour after drinking the medicine, I had a fever, I asked Imperial Doctor Du to come and show me, that fool, actually said that I had an epidemic, and said that I must have contracted it by serving Niangniang, although it is strange that Niangniang is sick, but it is really an epidemic."

"When I drank the medicine and the fever subsided, he would be speechless." Xu Duzhong said. "Because Niangniang didn't eat it directly, I also found a weak palace maid and asked her to hold the book and read it for a quarter of an hour, and there were signs of fever after that."

"In this way, it seems that Imperial Doctor Du should also go to the Imperial Prison as a guest." Chen Ju said.

"This medicine should only make people feverish, but it makes the queen mother so serious, I'm afraid it is also what the person who drugged didn't expect." Xu Duzhong said, "Since I know the reason, I changed the prescription to see if it will be useful for Niangniang to drink it." ”

"Niangniang's body suffered from this, and she really suffered."

"That half of the roster, I have to bother the imperial doctor Xu to write a detailed one, and I will present it to Your Majesty." Chen Ju said.

"Okay." Xu Duzhong said that he didn't ask much, this involved the private affairs of the harem, and he knew a little less.
