Prince Yu Shan's situation was not good, the whole person lost a lot of weight, the skin on his face showed a layer of dull death, and a thick layer of blood scabs formed on his lips.

Seeing Cui Jiu and Yang Chuan enter the door, he wanted to struggle to turn over, but unexpectedly, as soon as he made a hard effort, beads of sweat rolled down his face, and he fell headlong on the embroidered couch, and fell into a semi-coma.

Cui Jiu stretched out two fingers, put them on Dan's veins, and said in a deep voice: "It's too weak, I'm afraid I won't survive three or five days." ”

Yang Chuan stepped forward and carefully observed Prince Shan's skin, eyelids, tongue coating, teeth, chest and abdomen, etc., and also sighed secretly.

The condition is very bad, it should be vomiting and diarrhea, coupled with a continuous low-grade fever, which seriously damaged his physical function.

"What did the Imperial Doctor say?" Yang Chuan asked.

"The imperial doctor will look at a fart disease," Cui Jiu's old thief was not in a good mood, and he wanted to scold people when he opened his mouth, "Those silverfish, they know that copying ancient recipes and copying rigid routines can be regarded as good if they can cure the dead." ”

Yang Chuan opened his mouth for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "I also plan to open a medical technique in the Tai Academy and ask them to teach students." ”

Cui Jiu sneered: "Let them teach students? It is better to let Zhang Tang teach the knowledge of disembowelment, at least he can know that there are stomach pouches, heart, liver, lungs, and large intestine and small intestine in the human body. ”

Yang Chuan was said to have nothing to say.

Cui Jiu's words were very rough and even a little unreasonable, but in fact, these doctors in the Han Empire are really a little shrunken, except for those dialectics and prescriptions in ancient medical books, there is almost no blood on their hands.

It seems that if you want to make progress in any discipline, you have to see blood.

Looking back at the medical knowledge of Tai Academy, it is true that dissection or something should be added, at least let the doctor know what the basic structure of the human body looks like, right?

As for the current illness of Prince Shan, at first glance, it really looks like he has been poisoned, not only with black blood scabs on his mouth and nose, but also with bruised gums and slightly dull nails.

'Nausea and vomiting, epigastric pain, diarrhoea, watery stools, bloating, dehydration, abnormal frequency of bowel movements, abdominal pain, muscle cramps, ......'

'Food poisoning? Or was it poisoned? ’

After reading the 'confessions' of several palace people, combined with Prince Shan's complexion, lip color, bloodshot eyes, white and blue nails and other symptoms, Yang Chuan's first judgment should be food poisoning.

Of course, he is just a qualified cook, and he has limited knowledge of the world's poisons, and he only subconsciously guesses.

The big expert in poisoning is actually Cui Jiu.

"Uncle Cui Jiu, what do you think is the situation?" Yang Chuan frowned and asked.

Cui Jiu shook his head and said, "I've never seen this kind of poison." ”

Yang Chuan knew in his heart, it seems that the Han Empire did not have any bacteriological theory, and the identification of poisons was still stuck in the crane top red, arsenic, wine and the like, no wonder the history books wrote at every turn that a certain emperor gave a certain minister a cup of imperial wine......

Yang Chuan followed Cui Jiu's example, put his hands in his sleeves, and asked, "How many days has Prince Yu Dan's symptoms lasted?" ”

Cui Jiu: "Today is the fifth day. ”

Yang Chuan asked: "All the people who have come into contact with it, the people who procure meat and vegetables in the palace, have you asked?" ”

Cui Jiu nodded: "All the clues have been traced, and nothing abnormal has been found, and I have personally checked all the meals." ”

Yang Chuan walked around the hall, pondering, and said to himself: "This is strange, the food has not deteriorated, and I have never eaten some poisonous things, how can I vomit and diarrhea to make people dehydrated......

If you can't prescribe the right medicine, maybe you will really die.

Thinking of Princess Nangong, Yang Chuan felt irritable for a while, and said angrily: "Since you didn't let the imperial doctor come to see him, who is treating him?" ”

Cui Jiu said coldly: "Me." ”

Yang Chuan asked, "What kind of medicine did you give him?" Acupuncture? Tuina? Or have you given him light salt water to rehydrate? ”

Cui Jiu stretched out his finger and pointed to the medicine jar on the table, and said, "I prescribed three pairs of herbs for him, and while eliminating the residual poison in his body, I did some conditioning to warm and replenish the solid yuan." ”

Regarding the medicine of the Han Empire, Yang Chuan knew a little bit about it, and he was a little stunned when he heard it, and asked casually: "Eliminate the residual poison in his body?" Are you direct detoxification or emetic laxative? ”

Cui Jiu thought for a while and said, "Detoxification." ”

Yang Chuan hesitated for two or three breaths, and then asked, "Do you know what poison is in his body?" ”

Cui Jiu sighed and said, "It is precisely because I don't know what poison he has in it that I used a Snow Toad Xihuang Pill that can cure a hundred poisons;

However, at the moment, it seems that even the Snow Toad Xihuang Pill, which can detoxify arsenic and poison, can only be emergency and temporarily save his life. ”

Yang Chuan hadn't heard of any 'Snow Toad West Yellow Pill', but it sounded quite like that, as if he had read it in that book of Xianxia?

Cui Jiu, a godly chatter, has so many priceless antidote pills on his body, which is reasonable.

However, from the current point of view, the effect this time is not obvious......

Yang Chuan rubbed his cheeks a few times and said, "Uncle Cui Jiu, I have a bold suggestion, you use the antidote elixir, it seems that there are some effects at present, but Prince Yu Shan's illness continues to worsen, which means that the poison in the body has not been completely removed;

In my opinion, why don't you try the method of inducing vomiting and catharsis? ”

Cui Jiu stood up, walked to the window, looked thoughtfully at the scenery outside the window, and said lightly: "What is the way, you can use it, remember, if you save Prince Yu Shan, it will be your Yang Chuan's means;

But.

Once there is no effect, or he is directly killed, you must insist that it is my Cui Jiu's own rescue that is ineffective, which caused Prince Yushan to die. ”

Listening to Cui Jiu's old thief's words, Yang Chuan's heart was inexplicably hot, he bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you Uncle Cui Jiu for your protection." ”

Cui Jiu waved his hand quite irritably, and said, "If there is any means to hurry up, don't wait until everyone is dead to show off your bullshit medical skills." ”

With Cui Jiu's backing, Yang Chuan quickly calmed down.

He took out a packet of refined salt from his bosom, sprinkled a little into a large scoop of boiled water, stirred it gently with a small silver spoon for a while, and poured it into Prince Yushan first.

Listening to the sound of 'goo', Prince Yu opened his mouth and spat out a stream of clear and bright water, with a slight sour smell.

In this way, after pouring four or five scoops of light salt water in a row, Prince Yu Shan finally stopped spitting out, but his face became even paler, and even his breath seemed to weaken rapidly.

Cui Jiu leaned over to check, his two pale eyebrows trembled slightly, and asked in a cold voice, "What is this, salt water?" ”

Yang Chuan was busy under his hands, and said casually: "Yes, light salt water cannot directly detoxify, but it can induce vomiting and laxative, so that the patient can excrete the toxins in the stomach pouch, large intestine and small intestine, and if the poison is relieved by more than half, then you can use some warm medicine and light food to let his body recover slowly."

At the same time, the greatest use of light salt water is that it can quickly replenish the patient's body water and electrolyze...... It's easier to use anyway. ”

Electrolytes belong to sophisticated high-tech, in fact, Yang Chuan himself is not very good.

Cui Jiu nodded and said thoughtfully: "No wonder I used water to induce vomiting for him, the effect is some, but it seems that he can't bear it himself." ”

Yang Chuan said with a smile: "Clear water is fine, light salt water is better." ”

Because Prince Yudan's body is already extremely weak, he continues to induce vomiting and catharsis, maybe he will directly ask for this kid's life.

Therefore, Yang Chuan thought about it again and again, and could only show a real 'high-tech': enema.

He brought a large bucket of light salt water over, and took out a 'pipe' sewn from deerskin, as well as some small bits and pieces, which made Cui Jiu's eyelids jump several times, and scolded: "You brought so many gadgets with you, and when you entered the palace, the guards didn't check it?" ”

Yang Chuan was stunned and asked, "Why do you want to check?" I'm here to transfer relatives, why should I investigate? ”

"What's more, these things on my body are all used to cure diseases and save people, and I have never hidden the murder weapon!"

Cui Jiu stared at Yang Chuan's eyes and said expressionlessly: "Why are you hiding a small hand crossbow three inches below your left rib?" Also, in the buckskin boots, what about the two boning knives? Not a murder weapon? ”

Yang Chuan waved his hand nonchalantly: "I said Uncle Cui Jiu, why do you always imagine me Yang Chuan as a bad person?" I'm a relative of the emperor's family, what bad intentions can I have......"

……

'Enema' is a physical job, and Yang Chuan's physical strength is limited, so he has to bother Cui Jiu.

So, half an hour later.

Yang Chuan and Cui Jiu walked out of the main hall, and their feet stumbled a little.

That smell was really indescribable, even Cui Jiu's old thief seemed to be a little seriously unwell, and the blue and white color on his face became even stronger.

However, he finally fulfilled his mission, and after this toss, Prince Yu Shan's fate was saved......

After breathing in the fresh air at the door of the main hall for a while, Yang Chuan finally felt that his blood had been resurrected, and said, "Uncle Cui Jiu, let's go and clean our bodies first, and then go to the kitchen to have a look; I don't think that this poison should be food poisoning caused by someone doing things to food. ”

Cui Jiu said: "Okay." ”

The two of them cleaned their bodies, heads and faces in a gurgling place, and then walked towards the kitchen of Weiyang Palace.

In the current Han Empire, many institutions and laws have followed the Qin Dynasty, but in order to clear up the relationship with the 'violent Qin', the names of many institutions have been slightly changed.

For example, in this Weiyang Palace, the place responsible for cooking for the emperor was called 'Guanglu Temple' during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was called 'Lang Zhongling' during the Qin Dynasty, and the Han Empire changed its name to 'Guangluxun';

Since then, the name has changed frequently, like what is the Shang Shi Bureau, the Shang Diet Supervisor, the Imperial Kitchen, and the Imperial Dining Room...... There are all kinds of them, they are all quite cultured, and Yang Chuan is too lazy to remember them.

Isn't it just a kitchen?

In fact, this royal kitchen is really very cultured, cooking and cooking are secondary, and it is mainly responsible for sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, wine and food.

Among them, the most important daily duty is to be responsible for the meals in the palace, especially the emperor, and the cooks in it almost all have official positions, which are divided into four categories: qing, shaoqing, cheng, and the main book;

Each position has its different ranks, and the highest chef is actually ranked more than 3,000 stones, which is a lot higher than Yang Chuan, the official rank of Taixue Sacrificial Wine, which makes him can't help but turn on the 'chatter mode':

"Uncle Cui Jiu, the head of the cook who cooks for the emperor, is actually more powerful than three thousand stones, and he is more powerful than the captain who is desperate on the battlefield?"

"Under Guangluxun, there are Taiguan Administration, Treasure Administration, Liangyu Administration, and Zhangjiao Administration, which sounds very powerful, so how can you still mix in poisonous food?"

"Uncle Cui Jiu, have all the people and clues been clarified......

Cui Jiuqiang endured Yang Chuan's nonsense, and finally led him to an independent courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard bursts of miserable screams, moans and very suppressed roars from inside, and Yang Chuan frowned for a while: "Uncle Cui Jiu, what the hell is this?" ”

Cui Jiu said expressionlessly: "It's called a ghost place." ”

Yang Chuan was speechless for a while.

Well, this ghost is crying wolf, it's really a ghost place......

An embroidered messenger hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said, "Da Changmen, three hundred and seventy-four people have been tracked down and tortured, and none of them have confessed; In addition, the person who confessed yesterday should have been tortured indiscriminately, and his subordinates pursued it with no results. ”

Cui Jiu waved his hand and sent the embroidered messenger away.

The old thief put his hands in his sleeves, stood in front of a bush of wilted bamboos, and looked at the blue sky intently, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, the old thief suddenly said, "What did you find when you were wandering around the kitchen just now?" ”

Yang Chuan shook his head and said: "All the vegetables and grains are fine, and they are not mixed with raw lentils, spoiled beef and mutton, goat milk, etc., and in addition, there should be no poison." ”

Cui Jiu nodded and continued to ask, "Then tell me, what happened to the poison that Prince Yu Shan was in?" ”

Yang Chuan thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't get the point, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Uncle Cui Jiu, your direction is not right, Prince Yu Shan is poisoned, there should be a process...... Wrong! ”

Yang Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said very seriously: "The food itself is not poisonous, but Uncle Cui Jiu, if you leave some food for a period of time and then let Prince Yushan swallow it in your stomach, will it be toxic?" ”

Cui Jiu turned his head slowly, his brows furrowed: "You mean, someone brought expired meals to Prince Yudan?" ”

Yang Chuan shook his head and said, "No, that kind of low-level mistake people won't make at all, it's too obvious." ”

Cui Jiu nodded, stood silently for a while, and said casually: "Jin Liu." ”

A middle-aged man with a gloomy face quietly appeared, came to Cui Jiu and bowed down and said, "The subordinates are here." ”

"Change the number of ways, check the palace people, eunuchs and Lang Zhong who cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks for Prince Yu Dan," Cui Jiu thought for a while, and added, "Don't let anyone go, but don't make a noise, just tell me." ”

The man named Jin Liu turned around and left, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Yang Chuan, your meticulous nature is really suitable for being a big Changmen," Cui Jiu sighed and turned on the 'Earnest and Kind Mode', "Or, think about it?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll do it myself, it won't hurt at all......"

Yang Chuan clamped his legs, hurriedly walked a few steps into the distance, and scolded with a smile: "In the future, if you come to my Yang Zhuangzi to eat, don't think about eating sour and rotten meat." ”

Cui Jiu shook his head and sighed regretfully, and said, "Let's go, let's go and rest for a while......

……

In the evening, the results came in.

Sure enough, someone secretly calculated and gave Prince Yushan 'poison', but when the clues were traced to a long history of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was broken.

Hearing this news, the gloomy aura on Cui Jiu's face flashed, making Yang Chuan, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but feel his scalp tighten.

"That Changshi went home yesterday, ate a few glasses of wine, knocked Jin Dan and a dancer to be happy, and suddenly died."

The man named Jin Liu whispered, "That dancer was too frightened and died. ”

"In addition, the two confessors of the Prime Minister's Mansion, one Lang official, and all those who have had a close relationship with that Changshi recently, are all dead."

“……”

All the clues point to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in just one or two days, all the people died?

Yang Chuan only heard a heartbeat, look, this is the court's selfishness, once a thing spreads, maybe a large number of people can die inexplicably.

Moreover, these are still not very important roles.

"Okay, I know," Cui Jiu waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "Don't mention this matter in the future, just close the case." ”

Jin Liu was stunned and asked, "On what basis is the case closed?" ”

Cui Jiu groaned a few times and said, "Let's just say that Prince Yushan ate some unclean food......

Jin Liu's face showed a sudden expression, turned around and went out.

Cui Jiu stood up, shook up the sackcloth on his body, and said, "Let's go, go to the emperor's side to eat, I heard that tonight I will eat scallion fried mutton, as well as beef buns, snacks or something, the taste is okay." ”

Yang Chuan followed and got up.

sat with Cui Jiu for two or three hours, his legs and feet were numb, and he poured seven or eight bowls of tasteless water, and he ran to the toilet seven or eight times.

"Uncle Cui Jiu, this matter is closed?" Yang Chuan asked suddenly.

"What if the case is not closed? Prince Yu Shan's poison is not Gongsun Hongtou," Cui Jiu smiled and said leisurely: "There are too many unjust, false and wrongful cases in this world, and everything must be investigated and dealt with clearly, and three thousand embroidered messengers are not enough." ”

Yang Chuan groaned a few times and said, "Actually...... Uncle Cui Jiu, I have a suggestion. ”

Cui Jiu: "If there is a fart, let it go." ”

Yang Chuan looked left and right, leaned his mouth over, and said in a breathy voice: "Or, hit the grass and startle the snake......"
