Chapter 224

Not long after mammy Qian returned to the yard, Aunt Huang came.

Because she is an aunt and nobody cares, it's just convenient for her to act.

Soon after Aunt Huang came, the imperial doctor came. After consulting Chu Zhixing as usual, he asked someone to bring the medicine. As soon as she saw the medicine, the people present jumped their eyelids.

Mammy Qian tried to stabilize her expression and took the medicine with a smile: "after sleeping for a long time, I'm afraid it's time to wake up. Drink it when the girl wakes up. It's just that the medicine is a little hot. Hang it for a while."

The doctor nodded and left.

After everyone left, Aunt Huang asked mammy Qian to bring the medicine, and asked what medicine the prescription used.

"No problem with the medicine."

"How did the poison come from?"

"It's not just through the mouth, incense, clothes, jewelry, powder... That you want to poison."

Aunt Huang grew up in the place of tobacco and flowers when she was young. She knew these things like the back of her hand and was quite familiar with pharmacology. This is why Chu Zhi asked Aunt Huang to check.

"I remember the incense in the girl's house doesn't smell like this." Aunt Huang suddenly said.

"This is a prescription prepared by the imperial doctor. It says that the girl has been ill for a long time. This incense can make her feel happy and help her recover..." mammy Qian said here and stopped abruptly. "But there is something wrong with this incense?"

Aunt Huang was about to speak when a palace man came in to exchange incense.

The girl opened the lid of the double ear incense copper stove of the gilded animal on the table, clamped the incense in with a clip, ignited it with the previous old incense, finally covered the lid and respectfully withdrew.

After waiting for people to leave, Aunt Huang came forward to investigate carefully, and her eyebrows gradually tightened.

After half a ring, he said, "there's no problem with this incense."

The medicine is OK, the fragrance is OK, so what's wrong?

"Help the girl up and I'll check her quilt and bedding."

Mammy Qian took a breath: "is it difficult to take this medicine..."

"Just a guess."

Chu Zhi's quilt and bedding are changed day by day, so it has a faint aroma.

"This is the fragrance of lily of the valley."

"Yes," said mammy Qian. "The imperial doctor said the incense could concentrate and calm down, so he smoked it and asked the girl to cover it."

Next, no matter how Aunt Huang checked, there was no progress, and the matter fell into a dead end.

The room was silent.

The three people know that if the source can't be found out, the girl will be caught.

Aunt Huang sighed: "I'd better wait until the girl wakes up. She knows how to detoxify and wants to know the composition of the poison. Let me discuss with the girl Haosheng to see if we can find a clue."

When Chu Zhi woke up again, it was half an hour later.

"How do you feel?" Aunt Huang worried, "but what's wrong?"

"Aunt is coming." Chu Zhi asked, "how did aunt check?"

Aunt Huang sighed: "nothing. The person who applied the medicine was even cautious. The medicine you drank was all right and the incense was all right. I even checked your quilt and bedding. Your clothes were scented with lily of the valley. It can calm your nerves. It's really good."

Just then, the imperial doctor came again and said he wanted to acupuncture for Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi is depressed in the heart, and the high fever does not subside. Acupuncture can detoxify. Therefore, in recent days, the imperial doctor has replaced Chu Zhi acupuncture every day.

Chu Zhi looked at the silver needle of the imperial doctor and suddenly asked, "where did your needle come from?"

The imperial doctor hurriedly said, "the holy master specially told the lower officials to take good care of the county Lord. Therefore, the silver needle will be sent to the imperial hospital for disinfection every day and sent again the next day. I dare not be careless."

Chu Zhi asked, "can I borrow it for a view?"

Although the imperial doctor didn't understand Chu Zhi's intention, he still handed the silver needle to Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi looked at it with a silver needle for a long time, and suddenly licked it. The speed was too fast to stop it.

Her eyes coagulated slightly, took out a needle again and handed it to the doctor: "look, does this needle have a astringent sweetness?"

Astringent sweetness?

The imperial doctor covered his face with his sleeve, licked it, his face suddenly changed, licked it twice, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "county Lord, forgive me!"

He has been practicing medicine for several years and is on duty in the Taiyuan hospital. How can he not know that the needle has been tampered with.

No wonder the county leader's illness hasn't improved for a long time. Previously, he thought it was the county leader's poor health. Now it seems that someone moved his hands and feet, and still made an article on his silver needle. If the county leader really has something good or bad, he can't be blamed for his death.

At that time, he will not be a doctor practicing medicine to save people, but the culprit of the drug attack.

Thinking of this, the imperial doctor was so frightened that he was sweating: "county Lord, forgive me! I really didn't know about this, and I didn't do it. I was ordered to cure the disease for the county Lord. How could I hurt you with my hands and feet on the silver needle? I hope the county Lord can give you a clear warning!"

"You get up first." Chu Zhi asked mammy Qian to help him up. "I know you didn't do it."

The imperial doctor was relieved. As a result, Chu Zhi said again, "but it has something to do with you. If you weren't negligent, how could someone take advantage of it?"

The doctor's face turned white again.

"If I tell your Majesty the truth, do you think your majesty will not punish you even if you don't know?"

The imperial doctor was a personal expert. He immediately understood the meaning of Chu Zhi and knelt down again: "go down to the official power at the command of the county Lord."

Chu Zhi smiled and called him up: "I can't talk about the order, but I want you to find out the thief with me."

"What does the county Lord mean?"

"Can you taste the poison just now?"

"This..." the imperial doctor hesitated. "It seems astringent but not astringent, sweet but not sweet... Forgive me for my lack of talent and learning."

"I've been ill for a few days, and my quilt and bedding have been smoked by lily of the valley. The maidservants said it was ordered by the imperial doctor to calm my nerves."

"That's right. The heart of the county Lord beats too fast. According to the medical books, if bell orchid is used as medicine or incense, it can have a calming effect."

"What if flowers are used?"

Bell orchid can be used as medicine when dried. It has the effect of calming the nerves. If it is a flower, it will vomit, poison and hallucinate after taking it. Even as a incense, it will have this effect in the long run.

The doctor was so frightened that his face turned white that he said, "the county Lord means... Someone uses flowers to make incense?"

Chu Zhi didn't answer and asked, "have you ever heard of drunkenness among flowers?"

"How does the county leader know this medicine?" the imperial doctor shouted out, and then quickly lowered his voice. "This is poison, and it's forbidden."

This medicine has become taboo since the first emperor was poisoned by someone drunk in the flower room to the Empress Dowager Xiaolian.

"It seems you know." Chu Zhi smiled. "So, do you know how it works?"

The imperial doctor's eyes tightened: "the county Lord means doubt..."

But it's not right!

"The taste of drunk flowers is astringent and sweet, and there is also the most important medicine, which is also the most common. It is this bell orchid. Just because of water and soil problems, the bell orchid in Zhao is slightly different from that in Liang. It is more domineering because of its efficacy. The two compartments are mixed together, and the taste of drunk flowers is astringent and sweet with a little sour. Am I right?"

The imperial doctor was sweating: "exactly."
