Chapter 50: Who's Poisoning?
In the past two days, the emperor was very happy, and he was in a very good mood, and specially rewarded all the palace maids and eunuchs in Yonghe Palace with twenty taels of silver each, although twenty taels of silver is not much to the emperor, and the entire Yonghe Palace adds up to only more than twenty eunuchs and palace maids, and the total cost is only more than four hundred taels of silver, but for the palace maids, this is almost more than half a year's monthly silver, which is still a large amount of income.
All the palace maids and eunuchs in the entire Yonghe Palace were very excited, and they worked as hard as chicken blood.
The eunuchs of the other harem also have rewards, but only five taels, and the eunuchs and palace maids of the Yonghe Palace have aroused the envy and jealousy of their colleagues in the other harem for a while, and they only hate their masters for not being favored, but they can only mutter in their hearts and in private, and dare not show too much, otherwise the already unhappy master may take the person who does not know whether he is alive or dead to open the knife and make an example of the monkey.
There are two reasons why the emperor is happy: the first reason is that Yuji Zhenren has come back and brought the news that Wu Sangui has been saved, but Wu Sangui is escorted by two thousand Guanning iron horses, and it is estimated that it will be at least five days later when he arrives in the capital.
The second reason is that the harem concubine who has never been pregnant finally got pregnant this time, and this concubine is called Jing Shuyi.
According to the pulse observation of the doctor, she has been pregnant for more than three months, and it is estimated that it is a boy.
"When I used to be Prince Rui, I went out all the year round, and only gave birth to three Gege, and then after entering the palace for a few years, none of the many concubines in this harem were pregnant, it was really strange, I thought I was riding a horse too much, resulting in infertility, this time Concubine Jing was pregnant, indicating that I can still give birth, but I can't figure it out, why only Concubine Jing is pregnant, what happened to the bellies of the other concubines, none of them are like hens that don't lay eggs, it's really !!ruthless." As soon as Dolgon entered the Yonghe Palace, he smiled and said strangely.
"A hen that can't lay eggs, is the emperor implying that the concubine is the hen?" As long as women are very sensitive in this regard, Dolgon said this, and I couldn't help but ask.
"Ahem, Aifei, where do you want to go, I don't dislike Aifei's thoughts, Aifei is still young, it's not too late in a few years, I'm just strange!!." Dorgon touched my hand.
Actually, I don't want to get pregnant, I don't want to get pregnant yet, what if I can go back?
As a doctor, I have a way to prevent pregnancy.
The speaker was unintentional, but I listened intentionally, and I felt very strange at this time, why there are so few people who are pregnant.
It must be that this usual fertility pill has been manipulated.
As a result, no one can get pregnant,
And this Concubine Jing may have been an accident, she may not have drunk the fertility decoction, but instead hit her crookedly and became pregnant.
But what makes me strange is that the fertility decoction, I also tested it with a silver needle, and it is not poisonous at all.
Why is this, I can't figure it out for a while, so I don't think about it anymore, maybe I've watched too many palace fighting dramas, and I always have those contraceptive formulas or toxic arsenic in my head.
But it turns out that I was wrong, and the palace fight in the Qing Palace was still staged.
Early the next morning, don't hear the screaming cry from Changchun Palace, I hurriedly asked Qiushui to inquire.
After Qiushui returned, he brought a shocking news that the concubine Jing of Changchun Palace had committed suicide.
Qiushui said that the emperor was also over there to examine the eunuchs and palace maids who served the concubine.
I suddenly felt that there was a big problem at this time, so I called the jade machine real person to take a look together, maybe I can't solve the problem, the jade machine real person has a way.
After entering the Changchun Palace, I looked at Concubine Jing's body, but I didn't find anything abnormal, there was no sign of assassination, it was indeed a deep rope mark on the neck, which was undoubtedly suicide.
Dolgon was also extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do, all the eunuchs confessed that there was nothing unusual about Concubine Jing last night, but she committed suicide for some reason.
"Your Majesty, this Concubine Jing did not commit suicide, but died after being shattered by someone who broke her heart, but this method is very secret." After Yuji Zhenren finished speaking, he asked Concubine Jing to turn her body upside down, and then opened the clothes on her back.
Sure enough, there was a deep palm print on the back.
"This is the heart-destroying palm, Concubine Jing's heart has been shattered, and the tendons and veins are broken, and she is killed directly with one palm, which is a vicious method." Jade machine is really humane.
"I must find out who is behind the curtain and break his body into thousands !!of pieces." Dorgon gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, the concubines heard the emperor say yesterday that all the concubines have not been pregnant in the past few years, so they have suspicions, and today it seems that the concubines' suspicions may be correct, please allow the concubines to ask the palace maids of Changchun Palace!" So I helped Dorgon to sit down.
"Well, just ask, concubine, all of you, dare to have untruths, and be punished as a bully!" Dolgon pointed to the eunuchs and palace maids of Changchun Palace and said viciously, no wonder he was angry, he was happy for a day, this child is gone, and no one can be happy if he changes.
"Concubine Jing usually drinks the fertility decoction made by the imperial doctor, to be honest." The question I asked was unexpected for Dorgon, but he didn't squeak.
"The slave's name is Xi'er, the slave has been serving the little master's diet, the slave and the maid swear that what is said below is true, respect the concubine Niangniang she... She had never drunk the decoction made by the imperial doctor, and because Concubine Jing vomited as soon as she drank it, she simply stopped drinking it!! βγ Na Xi'er simply admitted it.
"Hey, I'm pregnant instead of taking medicine?" Dolgon couldn't help but speak.
"Well, Your Majesty, it must be that this decoction has been prescribed for contraception, as long as the imperial doctor who prescribes the medicine is called over to treat the symptoms, this imperial doctor must have been instructed by some people to do this!!" I said with confidence, at this moment I feel like I am simply a detective Sherlock Holmes, isn't the palace fight drama written like this, this time I will also be a master of solving cases.
"Hurry up and go to the Tai Hospital, and call the doctor who dispenses the medicine and the judge of the Tai Hospital." Dorgon explained to the chief eunuch.
Not long after, the two imperial doctors came to Changchun Palace in a panic, and knelt down to ask for peace after seeing the emperor.
"Zheng Wenhai of Chentai Hospital knocked on the emperor and Concubine Rui, long live the emperor, Concubine Rui is auspicious."
"Jin Xiande of Chentai Hospital knocked to see the emperor, Rui Fei Niangniang, long live the emperor, Rui Fei Niangniang is auspicious."
"Zheng Wenhai, come from the truth, how did you secretly put a few flavors of contraceptives in the brewed decoction, who instructed you?" I'm straight to the point.
"Niangniang is wronged, the ministers are all fertility medicines, and the decoction is also made by the Tai Hospital, but the ministers dare not rebel against the monarch even if they die, please Niangniang Ming!!" The doctor kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"Niangniang, the fertility drugs in this hospital have been reviewed by us, using traditional Chinese medicine saffron, red ginseng, ginseng and rehman, which are beneficial to pregnancy, these drugs have the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing blood, nourishing yin and kidneys, promoting the normal endocrine function of women's ovaries, helping follicles to mature and release eggs, which is indeed more conducive to pregnancy."
"For one, this saffron can help with pregnancy. Saffron is a kind of medicinal herb and spice, which has the effect of invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, detoxification and beauty. It can generally be used to treat certain fevers. At the same time, it can also improve the body's immunity and regulate the body's endocrine to a certain extent. Therefore, taking a certain dose of saffron under the guidance of a doctor has a certain pregnancy-promoting effect. However, it is important to note that if you are pregnant, you should not take saffron anymore because saffron has the function of promoting blood circulation, so it may increase the risk of miscarriage. If you are trying to get pregnant, it is best not to take saffron to prevent saffron from having adverse effects on the pregnant woman and the fetus after pregnancy. β
"The second is red ginseng: this red ginseng is a precious Chinese herb. This is very beneficial for women. Moderate drinking can warm up the body and effectively improve women's symptoms such as chills, cold hands and feet, physical fatigue, limb fatigue, frequent urination, diarrhea, menstrual period errors, menstrual irregularities, abdominal pain during menstruation, and low menstrual blood volume caused by yang deficiency. A moderate amount of red ginseng tea for women can also play a role in calming the nerves and strengthening the brain, which can effectively improve the symptoms of insufficient blood and body fluids, such as insomnia, amnesia, etc. β
"The third is ginseng: ginseng is a precious medicinal material with rich nutritional value. Eating ginseng has many benefits for women. Ginseng can protect women's liver and improve anti-fatigue ability. Ginseng can increase the anti-aging effect in women and play a cosmetic role. Consumption of ginseng in women can increase lipid metabolism in the body, reduce high cholesterol in the body, and have a weight loss effect. Consumption of ginseng by women helps improve memory, calms nerves, and aids sleep. '
"The fourth is rehmannia: Rehmannia has the functions and effects of tonifying the kidney, lowering blood pressure, enhancing immunity, nourishing blood and replenishing deficiency, regulating menstruation, helping follicles to mature, ovulate, and being more conducive to pregnancy."
"The minister came out of the Tai Hospital just now and brought the prescription medicine, please look at !!." Then Zheng Wenhai handed over another packet of dispensing medicine.
"The minister can testify that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, and he will not use other methods." The Golden Court swore an oath.
I was dumbfounded, this doesn't fit the plot, the first time my sister decided the case, did this fail?
"Then tell me, why after taking your prescription, all the concubines can't get pregnant, but Concubine Jing, who didn't take the medicine, is pregnant?" In a hurry, I turned against myself and threw this troubled question to the two imperial doctors.
"This is really incredible, and the minister is also afraid of why it is so !!." The two imperial doctors were also stunned when they heard the fact that Concubine Jing was pregnant instead of taking fertility pills.
"Your Majesty, the minister once heard the minister's master say that if the content of arsenic, graphite, and mercury is very low, although it is poisonous, as long as it is below a certain concentration, it is not too risky to people, but it can make women unable to get pregnant." Imperial Physician Jin thought for a long time, and then knelt on the ground and played.
Isn't this unsolvable, can't be measured, so what to do, I can't help but be disappointed.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, I have a way." Yuji Zhenren said in surprise at this time.
"Come on". The emperor said hurriedly.
"Bring me the brewed potion."
The soup made yesterday was still in the room, and Xi'er brought it over.
I saw that the jade machine real person was holding the porcelain bowl in his hand, exerting his internal force to run the skill, and after a while, the decoction was boiling, and the water in the decoction was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There was only water left at the bottom of the bowl, and the jade machine real person stopped exercising.
"I'm playing, I didn't expect it, this jade machine is too powerful, it did me a big favor, otherwise the people of this palace will lose a lot, and I will lose a game to him tomorrow in chess as a reward." I can't help but admire this old Taoist priest in my heart, in fact, you can boil the water, I'm really confused.
"Try it with a silver needle, I'm in a hurry to shout !!."
Xi'er handed over a silver needle.
"Concubine Ai expected it to be good, and she really did something." When the emperor saw the blackened silver, he couldn't help but say.
"Who is going to make this?" I asked.
"It's a small stool for the eunuch who specializes in boiling medicine for the Tai Hospital, and he asked me where I was going when I first came out!." Imperial Physician Jin replied.
"It's not good, something is going to happen to the little stool, hurry up and arrest the little stool." I hurriedly shouted.
"Don't worry, concubine, I will order the arrest of this thief!! , go get the little stool!! βγ Dorgon said to LinkedIn, the head of the Ouchi guard.
.γγγγγγγ
"Your Majesty, the little stool he... He committed suicide, which was found in his room, twenty taels of gold. After a while, Ingle came back and reported in a panic.
Clue....
Again.....
Brokenγγγγγ
I couldn't help but feel discouraged, and Meimu glanced at Dor, indicating that she was extremely impatient.
"Inger is here to deal with the aftermath, and the Taoist and Concubine Ai will return to Yonghe Palace with me." Dolgon's face was dark, and he could see that he was very angry, and even his face was a little distorted.
There was a cold aura on his whole body, and the air around him seemed to have cooled down by a few degrees.
