Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 317 The toxicity is not strong

The eunuch was only 15 years old. When he was young, because his family was poor and couldn't afford to have too many children, he was sold into the palace when he was seven years old and became a eunuch.This morning, I changed the guard from the fifth watch to the afternoon. I had already changed the shift to rest. At this time, I was summoned and stood tremblingly, not knowing what happened.

Su Chen cupped his hands towards Li Yu and the queen mother and said, "I implore the officials and the queen mother to allow me to ask this person."

Empress Dowager Zhong nodded slightly, and Li Yu agreed, "Ask!"

Su Chen turned around, looked up and down the face of the little eunuch, and found that he looked a little tired and uncomfortable. Yintang gathered a gloomy expression, but it didn't look like he was too poisoned. He became suspicious and asked, "You What is your name?"

"My slave's name is Huang Xiaojiang, and everyone calls me Xiaojiangzi." The little eunuch answered truthfully.

Su Chen asked again: "Did you drink the decoction that His Highness the Second Prince took in the morning and afternoon?"

The little eunuch nodded and replied: "I have already drank it, a big bowl, and I drank it all."

Su Chen nodded slightly, and asked carefully like a professional doctor: "Then do you feel any discomfort, such as stomach pain, sore throat, or dizziness?"

The little eunuch thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No... too obvious reaction, just some diarrhea, and I vomited once in the afternoon, which was a bit disgusting."

Empress Dowager Zhong, Li Yu, Princess Yongning and others all changed their expressions slightly, thinking that there might be something tricky in it.

Su Chen nodded slightly. There is indeed something wrong with the soup, but it is not fatal. It is very likely that the person who poisoned did not inflict any severe poison, but a small amount of poison. A 15-year-old eunuch can bear it, but for the original A five-year-old child who is not clearly ill can easily die if he suddenly has a violent reaction.

"Give me your arm and check your pulse."

The little eunuch stretched out his arms obediently and cooperated very well.

After Su Chen took the pulse, he noticed that his pulse was also somewhat disordered, similar to the second prince's pulse, but due to the age difference, and the second prince had epilepsy and convulsions, he appeared sick and more serious , the pulse condition is much more irregular than that of the little eunuch.

After the diagnosis was over, he put down his arm, and Su Chen said to Queen Mother Zhong, Li Yu and the others: "This person's pulse condition is similar to that of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and it is indeed related to taking the decoction, but the toxins in the decoction, The pinching is very good, the young people have good resistance, and the symptoms are not so strong. But the second prince is young, and he has a disease, which is already in danger. Coupled with the interference of toxins, it leads to conditions related to epilepsy, fright, etc. , relapse and aggravation at the same time, only then will there be an overreaction just now."

After hearing the words, Queen Mother Zhong, Li Yu and others could understand that the decoction had been tampered with, and the person who poisoned it was very thoughtful and knew how to take the dose of poison. This matter still needs to be investigated carefully.

If you think about it carefully, it is definitely premeditated, and it's not as simple as targeting Su Chen.

Because Su Chen has no fame or official title, he has only just become famous, at best he is only a talented person who has become famous, and he will not be persecuted by jealousy. After all, throughout the ages, there have been many great talents. Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and others have never heard of it He would be jealous of his talents, and sent people to assassinate and frame him.

But in just a few days, Su Chen first appeared in an ambush by the secret agent of the Wu De Department of the Northern Song Dynasty, and then rescued people in the palace, and someone poisoned the prince in an attempt to blame Su Chen. What happened to this matter? Look, I feel strange, it will not be so simple.

Although the Empress Dowager Zhong is a woman, after all, she married Li Jing as a princess when she was young, and then assisted her husband to become the emperor step by step in the conquest of the throne. She was canonized as a queen, and she has consolidated her position for many years. I have seen too many intrigues, officialdom struggles, and power vortexes, each time is confusing and dangerous!

Her face was dark, with a bit of anger, and she hated the forces behind the scenes to make trouble and poison.

Li Yu also frowned, thinking about who would attack Su Chen.

Princess Yongning couldn't help asking: "Su Chen, next, how to find clues, how to treat the second prince's illness?"

Su Chen glanced at the slim princess, then cupped his hands and replied: "If you go back to the princess, Cao Min has given His Royal Highness the medicine to remove toxins, and his condition will be stabilized. We need to observe it for six hours. At the same time, I plan to go there." In the place where the medicinal soup is decocted, check the remaining medicinal soup and unused medicinal herbs. Who is responsible for boiling and serving the medicinals? You need to gather all of them and interrogate them one by one to see if any of them have poisonous residues on their bodies, or It is the secretive and abnormal behavior that can target the poisoner."

Empress Dowager Zhong nodded and said: "Officials, let Su Chen handle this matter, find out the evidence, find out the source of the poison, and only then can the disease be detoxified."

Seeing that the queen mother had spoken, Li Yu didn't hesitate anymore, took a jade tablet from his waist, handed it to him and said: "This is my jade pendant, hold it, as if I came in person, and bring the imperial guards there, Find evidence."

He was worried about the prince and queen, so he didn't plan to investigate the case himself.

Princess Yongning blushes a little when Su Chen looks at her. After all, she has lived in the palace for a long time, and she has seen relatively few real young heroes. In addition, she has been reading Su Chen's poems and novels for the past few months. She is considered his fan. Shi took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Queen Mother, Emperor Brother, Yong Ning urges you to follow and witness with your own eyes, lest some unsightly slaves in the harem will not be convinced by his words, and they will not cooperate on purpose."

Empress Dowager Zhong didn't think about it, she nodded slightly, thinking that she was following a princess, representing the royal family, and seeing the truth with her own eyes, so that neither party would be deceived and concealed; if Su Chen found a clue at random, he would set up a crime, that's not okay of.

"Okay, Yongning, you can accompany me to investigate the case together."

"Mother, I'll go too!" Princess Yongjia grinned. At the age of 12, she likes to join in the fun. She lives in the palace and is restrained. She usually has no fun. The investigation of the case is so mysterious and unpredictable, and she refuses to let it go.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go too." Zhou Jiamin also asked to accompany her.

Peng Qingqing didn't speak, but she had already taken the initiative to stand up to Su Chen. She seemed to be caring like a lioness protecting her cubs, showing her attitude that it would be impossible not to let her go.

Li Yu smiled wryly in his heart, this Su Chen seems to be very popular with women!

"Go, but don't interfere with Su Chen's search for evidence and clues about the poisoner." Li Yu spoke and agreed to the request of the girls.

A deputy commander on duty in front of the temple, Yu Chixin, was summoned in. After listening to Li Yu's order, he said to Su Chen, "Mr. Su, my officer, Yu Chixin, will go with you to the Shangyao Bureau to find evidence."

Su Chen said politely: "I'm sorry, General Yuchi."

The two walked out of the prince's bedroom one after another, and the daughters also followed.
