Chapter 583 Blame and get out
The emperor ordered Xu Xunyi and Lin Qingyuan to assist the Internal Affairs Office in investigating the case, Xu Xunyi only felt that the smell of the cat was very familiar, but he couldn't think of what poison it was for a while, so he went to the East Palace to cut a little cat hair and brought it back to his residence.
Late at night, still had no clue about it. Xu Xunyi was about to go to bed, but suddenly heard the little servant come in and report: "The court judges, the king of pacifying is here." ”
It was already so late, Xu Xunyi thought about it, Lin Qingyuan must have come to him for something, so he said to the little guy: "Let him come in." The little girl went out, and after a while, he saw Lin Qingyuan walking in.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Qingyuan saw the cat hair on Xu Xunyi's desk, frowned and said to Xu Xunyi: "Be careful, since these things can make Ayi seriously ill, they must be extremely poisonous." ”
Xu Xunyi shook his head when he heard this, and said, "These are not poisons, but medicines. If you use it well, it is medicine, but if you don't use it well, it will be the same as poison. ”
Lin Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, "Medicine? The only place where you can get medicine in this palace is the Tai Hospital. So ......" He was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Xunyi in surprise.
Xu Xunyi nodded, "I suspect that someone from the Tai Hospital did it." ”
Lin Qingyuan couldn't help frowning, "What happened to the crown princess and the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital?" The crown princess is not one who likes to cause trouble. ”
"In this palace, there are various reasons for harming a person, not just two people. Naturally, the imperial doctor will not have any holiday with the crown princess, there must be someone behind it. It's just that the person behind the doctor is unknown. All in all, this incident is no coincidence, we have determined that it was the people of the Tai Hospital, so we will investigate from the Tai Yi first. ”
Lin Qingyuan suddenly smiled dumbly, "The doctors of this hospital, if not a hundred, there are dozens, so many people, how to find out, you can't interrogate them one by one." ”
"By the way, why did you come to me?" Xu Xunyi asked.
"It's not much different from what you think, I found the maid next to He Suoyi, and the maid said that the cat often likes to run to the hospital. It's just that most of those doctors like cats, and they feed cats and fish from time to time, and they wonder if it will have anything to do with the doctors of the hospital. Since you can quietly sprinkle medicine on cats, you must be familiar with cats, and cats will not get close to people. ”
After chatting a few more words, he decided to go to the Tai Hospital early tomorrow morning to inquire about the situation, and Lin Qingyuan went back again.
Xu Xunyi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why. I didn't sleep well all night. As soon as the sun came out the next day, he rolled over and got out of bed.
The hospital is as peaceful as ever, and the doctors have just arrived at the hospital, and there are a few medical women among them. Xu Xunyi saw Ning Rongzhi from afar. He had been together for so long, and he had always watched Ning Rongzhi's every move, so it was very easy to see Ning Rongzhi at a glance in the crowd.
It was rare to see a familiar face, Xu Xunyi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and walked over quickly.
Ning Rongzhi only glanced at Xu Xunyi, but suddenly walked away, and he didn't know where to go from another path.
Xu Xunyi couldn't help but pause, in his heart, it was impossible for Ning Rongzhi to have such an attitude towards him, and he was inevitably a little lonely. But when he thought that maybe Ning Rongzhi hadn't seen him, he was a little relieved.
Those imperial doctors had already heard the name of Lin Qingyuan's Xuanwu Zhuang Master, and it was rare to see the deity today, and they were surprised and happy in their hearts, and soon several imperial doctors came up and surrounded him and Xu Xunyi.
Lin Qingyuan quietly catered to a few imperial doctors, but he really couldn't see any flaws in these enthusiastic imperial doctors. After a while, he said indifferently to those imperial doctors: "I came to the hospital today, and I also have something to do, so I won't disturb you." ”
Hearing him say this, a few imperial doctors left in a huff. Xu Xunyi couldn't help but smile and patted Lin Qingyuan's shoulder, "It seems that the owner of the village is not only a living immortal in the eyes of the people, but also very popular among these imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital." ”
However, his ridicule did not bring Lin Qingyuan's smile, but seeing that he still had a cold face, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he stopped thinking with him.
Since it's to take medicine, it's natural to go to the imperial pharmacy. Xu Xunyi turned around and walked towards the Imperial Pharmacy.
When there was nothing to do, the imperial pharmacy was still a very quiet place, only the little eunuch was still sweeping the dust on the floor with a broom. Seeing that Xu Xunyi and Lin Qingyuan didn't know these two people, they stepped forward and asked: "The two of you are in trouble, there are regulations in the hospital, and idlers in the imperial pharmacy are not allowed to enter." ”
"We ......" Lin Qingyuan was about to say something, but was stopped by Xu Xunyi. The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, but hurriedly knelt down: "Second master, it's not that the slave has no eyes, this palace maid of the imperial pharmacy wants to come to get the medicine, and we dare to give it with the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor." ”
"Then can the Imperial Doctor come and go at will?" Lin Qingyuan glanced at Xu Xunyi and asked.
"Yes, the Imperial Doctor can naturally take medicine, except for the Imperial Doctor and the Doctor, they all have the key to open the door of the Imperial Pharmacy in their hands."
Xu Xunyi felt that there was a door, and hurriedly asked if someone had come to take the medicine that made He Suoyi seriously ill.
The eunuch just shook his head, he only knew the regulations here, but he didn't know who took what medicine, and even what imperial doctors and women came. Xu Xunyi revealed his identity like a little eunuch, and also inquired about the eunuch who managed the medicine.
It wasn't the eunuch guarding the door today, but Xu Xunyi had calculated who the eunuch was guarding on the day the cat came back and He Suoyi suddenly fell seriously ill.
Seeing that the two of them came looking for them with tokens, the eunuch thought that something was wrong and was frightened.
The eunuch saw the tokens displayed by the two people, and hurriedly knelt on the ground. Xu Xunyi actually didn't like the eunuch's attitude, as if they were here to ask the teacher.
Xu Xunyi said "It's okay" twice, and the eunuch stood up hesitantly, but he still lowered his head.
"I'm asking you, who was the person who came the night before the crown princess fell seriously ill?" Xu Xunyi had already concluded that someone had come here to steal medicine that night, but if he asked the eunuch if anyone had come, he must have refused to admit it out of fear.
The eunuch suddenly stopped trembling, and the pestle stood still. After a while, Lin Qingyuan wanted to ask him another word, but as soon as the words reached his lips, he saw the eunuch kneeling on the ground and kept slapping himself.
"The slave should die, the slave should die, and I asked the two masters to spare the slave...... There are old and young slaves, if the slave is looked at the head, what can the whole family do......" The eunuch said incoherently, the sharp voice made Lin Qingyuan frown, and tears kept smashing on the ground.
Lin Qingyuan couldn't help coughing, "You are a eunuch, where did you come from." ”
The eunuch stopped complaining, but he couldn't stop crying. This appearance amused Lin Qingyuan, "Because you are not in good care and have been taken medicine, now the life and death of the crown princess are uncertain, let alone you, my whole family may be dragged down by you." As he spoke, he suddenly changed his words, "But it's not without a chance of recovery." ”
Hearing him say this, the eunuch's eyes straightened, and he climbed forward two steps and almost hugged Lin Qingyuan's legs.
Xu Xunyi continued Lin Qingyuan's words and continued: "Can you see who came that night? ”
"Minions...... The minions didn't see it clearly. I only saw that it seemed to be a woman, and the slave only thought that he was here to steal the cat, so he didn't care. The minion thought that the imperial pharmacy had been locked all along, and he couldn't enter without a key, so he was negligent. Minions deserve to die, minions deserve to die! The eunuch said that he almost had tears in his eyes again. And he suddenly thought of something else, and hurriedly continued: "But the servant picked up an earring there the next day, and I wonder if the female thief dropped it." ”
"Where's the earring?" Xu Xunyi asked, still in a cold and unquestionable tone.
"In the slave's room, two of them came with the slaves......," said the eunuch, and got up with him, and took the two men to his quarters.
Because he was so attentive, he didn't find a person hiding in the grass on the other side. That person was none other than Ning Rongzhi. In fact, when Xu Xunyi saw Ning Rongzhi, she also saw Xu Xunyi. The man's gaze was too sharp, and Ning Rongzhi knew at a glance that he was looking at himself, so he fled in a hurry.
She couldn't help but touch her earrings, when and where they came from, she had long forgotten. Seeing Xu Xunyi notice him, Ning Rongzhi faintly doubted what the man knew. Now I came again, and when I heard those words, I didn't panic, and my mind was quickly thinking about countermeasures.
After a long time, he suddenly raised his lips and turned to leave.
In the afternoon, the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to arrest people and caught them off guard. There are not many medical women in the palace, and they all live in the same courtyard. I saw that the people of the Internal Affairs Office surrounded the courtyard where the doctor girl lived, and drove the doctor out of the room and rushed to the courtyard, and the others went in to search.
Everyone was terrified and didn't know what was going on. Ning Rongzhi's heart even mentioned his throat. She couldn't help but touch one of her earrings. This earring is much worse than the previous lost one, but it can save life.
After a while, I saw someone from the Internal Affairs Office slowly withdrawing with a brocade box, and the others also withdrew.
The face of the medical woman beside Ning Rongzhi suddenly lost blood, and she stared at the brocade box in the guard's hand.
is the big red man around the emperor, the chief eunuch in the palace.
He swept his dust and cleared his throat, "Which girl is this?" ”
seems to have sensed the danger, and the owner of the brocade box, the medical girl Cui Qingyuan, didn't say a word. But someone else was shocked and shouted: "Cui Qingyuan, isn't this your brocade box?" ”
"I ...... No...... This, this ......" Cui Qingyuan didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly knelt down.
The guard handed the brocade box to the chief eunuch, who opened the brocade box and took out another earring from his sleeve, and the one lying in the brocade box was Ning Rongzhi's lost earring.
The eunuch snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Catch it." ”
Cui Qingyuan realized that something was wrong and cried. In a few moments, he was taken out of the courtyard.
