Chapter 23: Poisoning

Since that sentence was said that day, Chen Jiaojiao had poured out the tea for the tenth time.

The fourth time I got it in my hand while I was working on ink, and I got it on his book by the way.

The seventh time he was startled by the sound of the door opening, and he also screamed out to scare him.

For the umpteenth time, he dozed off while he wrote.

"Well, you serve me."

Chen Jiaojiao accompanied the smiling face and rubbed her hands nervously.

He Shuming, who was standing on the side, held back his laughter until he trembled, but this is what it looks like to be alive, what hell is like and what Yongming Palace is like, he really can't stand it when he looks at it.

In front of him, there was ink on his clothes, and his face was like a cat, and he hurriedly apologized and wanted to wipe it, but it became more and more dirty after wiping it for a long time.

He prefers the present, and no one will be bored.

When he went out, he helped the two of them close the door and shut down the noise in the door.

*

In the evening, seeing that it was not early outside, Chen Jiaojiao whispered, "Your Majesty, isn't it time to rest, it's not early." ”

The most she said here was to tell him to rest.

Qi Yan hummed, still looking at the scroll on the table.

Chen Jiaojiao puffed out her mouth, she didn't know if she didn't look at it, but now she knew that he had so many things to do every day, there were so many people in the country, and he needed to worry about such a big place.

She thought she could only sit quietly to the side and not disturb him.

The sudden coughing sound drove away Chen Jiaojiao's sleepiness just now, and she looked up sharply to see him covering his mouth and coughing.

Blood spilled from between his fingers.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

She stood up but did not dare to walk over, lest he would fall in front of her if she took a step forward.

I remember that he wasn't in such a bad health before!

Qi Yan was also a little strange, frowned and coughed twice, pinched a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands.

Recently, the number of episodes has become more and more, and he closed his eyes against his eyebrows, perhaps to detoxify as soon as possible, until he can no longer delay.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Jiaojiao moved to his side in a daze and asked with a crying voice.

Before Qi Yan could raise his head and say anything, a fishy sweetness gushed out of his throat. He bent down and vomited blood, and fell unsteadily into her arms.

"Your Majesty!"

His face was as pale as paper, and he opened his mouth slightly to gasp, but the sound of his breathing was so weak that he couldn't hear it.

Chen Jiaojiao hugged him tightly, cried tremblingly, and called out loudly.

As soon as Gao Gongde pushed the door and saw the scene in front of him, his legs were weak in fright, and he stumbled and ran out, "Doctor! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”

Qi Yan barely stayed awake and held her hand, "Go and call fifteen and let He Shuming enter the palace." Sealed the message. ”

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty, you insist on insisting, what's wrong with you!"

Chen Jiaojiao's tears dripped down Qi Yan's face, and he wanted to laugh inappropriately.

What can happen, and you can't die.

My eyelids are heavy, and I just want to sleep.

But he couldn't sleep when she cried, and the two held hands together.

She grabbed him hard, as if she was afraid he would leave.

Qi Yan couldn't speak, closed his eyes and leaned on her shoulder, listening to her call herself.

He Shuming got the news and immediately rushed to Yongming Palace.

Settle it out before crashing into the temple.

"Your Majesty!"

Imperial Physician Huang was taking his pulse, and he leaned on the little princess with red eyes, closing his eyes so that people didn't dare to tell what was wrong with him.

He Shuming swallowed his saliva fiercely, and walked forward only to find that Chen Jiaojiao was staring at Imperial Doctor Huang's wrist in a daze, biting her lower lip tightly, tears overflowing her eyes, but she held it back and didn't fall, and she was shaking.

He frowned and asked, "How is Your Majesty?" ”

Imperial Physician Huang didn't answer, his old face wrinkled, and he thought about it and reached out to put it on his pulse again.

Chen Jiaojiao sighed, trembling and gritting her teeth. I can't believe that the weak person in my arms is him, he shouldn't be like this.

In her impression, Ah Wu is not like this, and His Majesty is not like this.

He was tall and broad-shouldered, and when she walked in front of her, she always measured his height with her hands.

One finger, two fingers, three fingers, she was annoyed with the gestures, and she couldn't measure them.

Standing in front of her, invincible.

Imperial Physician Huang looked at everyone's faces before he stepped aside and knelt down, "General He." His Majesty's body has not been cleared of the remaining poison, and it has been suppressed by internal force. It's like being hit by another poison, causing the two poisons to overcome each other before he temporarily falls into a coma. ”

"Poisoned?" He Shuming opened his eyes violently, "Your Majesty has been poisoned in the palace all the time." ”

"The old minister didn't dare to hide it, it was indeed a sign of poisoning. The old minister dared to guess that it was a flower poison, called hook kiss. This poison is born with the poison in His Majesty's body. In a few more days, I'm afraid it will be .........."

Chen Jiaojiao closed her eyes, gently shook the hands held by the two, and whispered to him, "Your Majesty." ”

He didn't move, only breathing faintly.

He Shuming's face sank, "Go and check, who is eating these days." ”

The voice echoed through the temple, and it was particularly stern and frightening.

"No, no, no, it's an inhaled poison, it has no effect beyond the temperature, and it won't get in the food."

The inhaled poison, as soon as these words came out, the four moments fell silent.

It's a process, and it's got to be around.

Without He Shuming's gaze, Chen Jiaojiao knew that she was the first object of suspicion.

"I, I didn't, I really didn't."

She hurriedly explained seriously, "I don't even know about this poison, and I won't do it to Your Majesty." ”

"Hmm."

He Shuming nodded, he didn't say believe it or not, emotionally he didn't believe it.

Besides, her current fears were not fake.

"Ask someone to come in and search the temple, and search all the incense ashes that were poured out a few days ago."

"Yes."

Fifteen brought people in, and footsteps sounded hurriedly.

Imperial Physician Huang fed Qi Yan a pill to protect his heart, and then stood aside and rummaged through the medical book.

There was no cure for this poison, and the effect of the medicine was rapid, and the wrinkles on his face were several layers deeper.

After looking for a long time, there was no news, He Shuming frowned impatiently, paced in the hall, and once again saw fifteen shaking his head.

"I don't know how this poison came from, and if you can't find it, go and get punished!"

Chen Jiaojiao saw him so angry for the first time, and quietly lowered her head to watch Imperial Doctor Huang take his pulse again.

He frowned slightly, as if he was uncomfortable, and she lay beside his face in distress, like a kitten sticking to its owner.

"Does the princess know what medicine His Majesty takes every day?"

"I, I don't know, General He should know."

Imperial Physician Huang straightened up in response, but his eyes were sucked away by the things on the table.

After picking up the fan with his hand and smelling it, he raised it excitedly, "General He, I found it!" That's it! ”

Dismantled it, there was indeed a sun-dried hook kiss inside, and Imperial Doctor Huang nodded his head after crushing it.

In the air, the two looked at each other, Chen Jiaojiao's face turned pale for a moment, and He Shuming's face was also unclear.

Fifteen looked up and saw the purse, and narrowed his eyes, but didn't do anything else, staring quietly.

Chen Jiaojiao couldn't say a word of defense, she really didn't know what flowers, what poisons, and why they appeared in the purse she sent.

There is a mess in his head, and it is impossible for Satsuki to be such a person, unable to do such a thing.

She shook her head slowly, sped up all of a sudden, and shook her head desperately with tears in her eyes.

He Shuming stared at her and raised his hand, "Go to Changhuan Hall to search." ”

Then he looked at Chen Jiaojiao, "I really don't want it to be you." ”

Fifteen didn't go long before she brought a small box, and when she opened it, it was full of pink sun-dried petals.

Chen Jiaojiao looked over helplessly, their eyes full of vigilance and suspicion.

"It's really not me, really, really! I swear with my life, it's not me, I don't know this flower. ”

All justifications pale in the face of evidence.

He Shuming frowned, as if he was asking fifteen and as if he was asking himself, "Do you want to wait for Your Majesty to wake up, he has his own judgment." ”

But he still shook his head, "Suppress everyone in the Changhuan Palace, torture them, and ask them within three days." She, press down and lock up. If anything happens to Your Majesty, it is not a pity for you to die. ”

Fifteen received the order, didn't call anyone, and stepped forward ruthlessly to pull away one of Chen Jiaojiao's hands.

He hesitated, but retracted his strength.

If His Majesty was awake, he wouldn't have had a chance to touch her.

Chen Jiaojiao's legs were weak and couldn't stand, and she was pulled to the ground.

The hand she was holding between Qi Yan still didn't let go, and she wanted to pull him out but she used a slight force, as if subconsciously.

The fifteen eyebrows of the eyes jumped.

At this moment, her expression was flustered and helpless, dazed and kept dripping tears, looking at the pear blossoms with rain, but He Shuming did not relent.

"Take it down!"

When passing by He Shuming, Chen Jiaojiao broke free, knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and pounced as if the two had met for the first time.

"General He, can I wait until Your Majesty wakes up, and when Your Majesty wakes up, how do you want to punish me, I have no complaints. Please, I want to wait for Your Majesty to wake up. ”

"Chen Jiaojiao, I'm not Your Majesty, crying to the wrong person. Take. ”

He Shuming didn't look at her and waved his hand. The door behind him slammed shut, and he sighed and looked at the man lying on the bed.
