140 Poisoning
Dr. Xu lowered his head, stared at the ground with a pair of lonely eyes, and said softly: "My real name is Xu Ziqing, and my family is a family of imperial doctors in Dongyu Kingdom, thirty years ago, at the age of 16, I entered the palace and became the youngest imperial doctor in the court at that time. At that time, I was frank and conceited, and I had been very bold in the medicine of the palace concubines many times, maybe I was lucky, maybe the palace concubines I had seen were not serious diseases, and every time I could get rid of the disease, I gradually became the most popular imperial doctor in the harem. Later, Mrs. Wu in the harem took my decoction and actually had a miscarriage, and I couldn't argue, I thought I was dead, until a young lady from the family appeared. ”
"It was a young lady from a family who came into the palace to visit the palace concubine, and the young lady said that she saw that Mrs. Wu had eaten refreshments after taking medicine, and it was because of her words that I was saved, and I will always remember the bright smile of that young lady that year, when she was only twelve years old. After this, I was disheartened, so I resigned from my position as the imperial doctor, and after that, I opened a medicine furnace in the city of Yicheng. Many years later, I saw the young lady again in the city of Ui, and she was already very slim, and I recognized her at a glance. From then on, I often went to the young lady's house to check her pulse, and as long as I could see her, I would be very satisfied, and I thought I should have fallen in love with this young lady. ”
A slight smile leaked from Dr. Xu's face, but soon he choked up a little, he adjusted his mood slightly, and continued: "Later, I heard that the young lady was married, and I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night, but I knew that I was not worthy of her. After she got married, I moved the medicine stove near her husband's house, just so that I could always know how she was doing. Later, I became her doctor, I could see her, watch her give birth, help her recuperate, I was very content, I was able to accompany her through her life, it was my greatest happiness, but she died today, and finally she died in my arms. ”
A tear quietly crossed Dr. Xu's face and fell silently to the ground. Doctor Xu wiped the tears on his face with his hands, Ling Xi looked at Xu Ziqing who was crying for Jiang Shuangxue, and suddenly she thought of Ling Xiao, maybe Ling Xiao would not shed tears for Jiang Shuangxue in her life.
"Does my aunt know?"
"I don't know if Madame knows my heart, but it doesn't matter, I never asked for anything, I just want to guard her, no matter life or death, Queen Mother, I'm leaving Yicheng and going to Chenzhou, I will open a medicine furnace there, stay by Madame's side, and never return to Yicheng for the rest of my life." After speaking, Xu Ziqing slammed his head on the ground, and a painful choked sound occurred from his throat.
Suddenly, Xu Ziqing raised his head and looked at Ling Xi, his slightly reddish eyes were bloodshot, like red threads soaked in blood, piercing his eyeballs, as if there was not only pain but also hatred in his eyes.
"Before leaving, I want to go into the palace to see my mother, in addition to telling you this, I also want to tell you that Madame, she was poisoned and died."
Ling Xi stood up excitedly, one of her hands held the green jade hairpin tightly, and the tingling of the hairpin came from her palm, but she was already unconscious, and her angry eyes looked at Dr. Xu.
"You mean, my aunt was killed by someone? Do you have proof? ”
"No, the poison in Mrs. is very rare, if the amount of poison is very low, it will not be poisoned for ten or eight years, and when the poison occurs, it will be like a normal death due to disease organ failure."
"Who is it? Who poisoned my aunt? Ling Xi asked almost through gritted teeth.
"Niangniang should be able to guess, after Niangniang got married, Mrs. went to Baohua Temple on the first and fifteenth days of each month to go to Baohua Temple to incense, Leng Qiuye couldn't do it in Listening to Yuzhai, so she asked Ling Fu to buy the little novice of Baohua Temple and poison Mrs. Vegetarian Zhai. Yesterday at noon, Mrs. was already poisoned, and Uncle Guo immediately guessed that Leng Qiuye did it, he investigated from Ling Fu, found Baohua Temple, and found the little novice. Xiao Shami confessed, saying that Ling Fu told him that every time his wife went, he only ordered a little poison, and Leng Qiuye originally wanted his wife to die silently. But some time ago, the third lady was almost tied up and sent out of the harem by the palace people, maybe Leng Qiuye had no hope, she didn't want to wait any longer, so they ordered a hundred times the amount of poison, and they couldn't wait to poison Mrs. impatiently. ”
Saying that, Doctor Xu took out a brown porcelain bottle from his arms, and after he raised the porcelain bottle above his head, he said softly: "After this poison reaches a certain amount, you can't drink alcohol, once you drink alcohol, you will immediately die of poison, and the toxicity of this poison will be amplified and decomposed in the wine, that is to say, even the imperial doctor can't detect the signs of poisoning, Leng Qiuye should have calculated it." Mrs. eats fasting and recites Buddha all year round, and does not drink much, but at the wedding banquet yesterday, Leng Qiuye toasted Mrs. Lee, and Mrs. came back with poison. ”
