Chapter 165 The Imperial Concubine Poisoned

The ninth-rank official of the Chentai Hospital pays homage to the imperial concubine, the empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old! "The nine-rank official kowtowed first, and then stood with his hands down beside the jewel-inlaid glazed couch where the imperial concubine was sitting. He was wearing a light green robe and a jade belt with eight hairpins. Said: "Come here, serve tea for your lord." Bi'er moved a chair, and Cui'er brought two cups of newly built Liu'an melon slices, one for the imperial concubine, and one for the ninth-rank officials. .

The minister thanked the imperial concubine, then took the teacup and sat down.

The imperial concubine leisurely flicked the tea surface with the lid of the cup, and then blew away the tea foam. She squinted at the officials of the ninth grade and said, "My lord, long time no see. I don't know how your lord is doing these days. Will you be promoted?" Nine Hearing what the imperial concubine said, an embarrassing expression flashed across his face, he sat up straight, put down his teacup and replied: "Report to the imperial concubine, I... I have not been promoted yet." Hearing this, the imperial concubine Putting down the cup in his hand, he smiled slightly, looked at the eyes of the nine-rank official, and said word by word, "As long as my lord devotes all his energy to treating me, I believe that my lord will fly high one day!"

The ninth-rank official stood up with a "swish" sound, clasped his fists in both hands and gave me a deep bow, with piercing eyes, and said: "The kindness of the empress, I will never forget it. From then on, I must serve the empress wholeheartedly to repay the great favor of the empress." !” I smiled and nodded at him, and he sat down, and I said, “I’ve been restless these days, and I often feel a dull pain in my stomach…” Speaking of this, I couldn’t help but feel faint Sighed: "I don't know if it's caused by eating bad food."

Ninth-rank official said: "The next official must first feel the pulse for the empress."

I smiled: "It's natural, just look and hear, how could I forget this! You don't have to be cautious." She nodded as she spoke, and Bi'er took a golden silk embroidered cushion with flowers and put it on the table, and the imperial concubine put her hand on it. Going up, the ninth-rank official turned his head away, not daring to pay attention, Yalan took another silk handkerchief to cover my hand, and I coughed lightly twice to signal that I was done.

Only then did the ninth-rank official stick out two fingers, and lightly put them on my veins.After a while he said: "May I ask you to change your hand." I changed my hand as I said, and he checked my pulse again, looked up at my complexion, and then took another hand from the medical box that I carried with me. He took out a few thin silver needles from his pocket, and said to me: "Your Majesty, I want to inject needles on your body." He looked at me with piercing eyes: "Your Majesty is more trustworthy than this minister?" I nodded: "The employer is not suspicious. Suspects don’t need it!” His face was full of excitement, I saw that he gently inserted the silver needle into an acupuncture point on the wrist of the imperial concubine, twirled it, took it out again and looked at it under the sun, Suddenly his face changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "What kind of medicine has your mother been taking recently?" I haven't taken any medicine recently. During the fragrant time, the nine-rank official said in surprise: "I didn't take the medicine. But, how could this happen?" Suddenly he seemed to think of something, and lowered his voice: "May I speak a little closer?" The imperial concubine understood, waved her hand to let All the servants withdrew, "Your Excellency, if you have anything to say, just say it." I vaguely knew from his expression that something was wrong.

The ninth-rank official bowed his hands at me, and said in a deep voice: "Forgive me, you have been poisoned, my lord!" The imperial concubine suddenly heard the thunderbolt from the blue sky, her hands trembled, the hot tea almost splashed out, and she tried her best to restrain her mind : "Could it be that someone intentionally put it in my meal..." "Impossible, the nine-rank official denied the concubine's conjecture, "Then—" I was stunned." According to Weichen's observation, the empress was poisoned. It’s been a while, but the toxicity is slow, so it’s not easy to be noticed by others.” The nine-rank official said in a low voice. The imperial concubine was puzzled: “Since it’s not in the food, where is it, and why are you so sure it’s not in the food? What about poisoning? "The nine-rank official laughed in a low voice and said, "Your Majesty is blessed.This poison is not an ordinary poison, it is rare in the world, and the person who poisoned it was also thoughtful, so he found it unexpectedly.This kind of poison, after being born in a human being, flows through the whole body with the blood, so it cannot be easily diagnosed.Coincidentally, Wei Chen had been to a place, and he saw that the situation of the people in that place after being infected with the poison was somewhat similar to that of the empress, so he dared to test the poison with silver needles. "Here, he held up the silver needle just now to my eyes, and I took a closer look, and saw that the shining needle had turned dark brown at this moment, and my heart sank suddenly. He paused: "However, this is only Wei Chen's preliminary speculation, whether it is true or not, we have to find out the poison to confirm. "I just felt a chill running up my back, could it be that there is another mole I don't know?
Just as he was in a daze, the ninth-rank official asked: "Since the food is not poisoned, has the empress accepted gifts from others recently?" A pot of flowers, and..." The imperial concubine was thinking hard, afraid of missing something.The ninth-rank officials immediately bowed and said: "Can I let my minister look at the potted flowers?" The imperial concubine was startled, thought for a while, and nodded with a smile: "My lord is not an outsider, please come with me." She led him Go to the inner room.The nine-rank official lowered his head, not daring to squint.Walking to the table, the imperial concubine pointed to the pot of green and bright flowers and said to him: "This is the pot. It is said to be a kind of precious flower." The nose sniffed, as if trying to find something.The imperial concubine looked at him suspiciously, and gradually had a vague idea in her heart, and she couldn't say what it was.Shaking her head, she saw a small white jade box beside her. The imperial concubine took the box and looked at the color.Suddenly the ninth-rank official let out a low cry, and the jade box in the hands of the frightened imperial concubine fell to the ground with a clang. The bright red rouge poured out and stained the floor, and a rich sweet fragrance came out.The ninth-rank official probably also realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly knelt down: "You disturbed the empress, please forgive me." Looking down, he suddenly picked a little bit with his fingers and sniffed lightly between his nose, his brows were deeply furrowed.I didn't rush him either, just let him continue to smell.After a while, he said: "Madam, although this flower is a famous flower, it is not an ordinary flower." The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at him. "This is Jinshalan. This grass grows in the deep mountains and is born from the miasma of mountains and rivers. It is one of the poisons I saw back then." The imperial concubine's face turned pale all of a sudden, and her heart was beating violently. other?The ninth-rank official's face also became serious, and he circled around the bright red pool on the floor with his hands behind his back: "But Jin Shalan alone is not poisonous. It needs to be poisonous with Bliss Grass. This poison is slow and poisonous. Those who suffer from nausea, headaches, and gradually become comatose, and there is no cure for poisoned hair." As he said, he stared straight at the stained rouge, and the imperial concubine's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly she felt that the whole world had quieted down. The imperial concubine asked in a trembling voice: "Do you suspect that there is something in this rouge?" The nine-rank official nodded: "I'm still not sure if there is really Bliss Grass, I have to try it to know." Saying, He quickly picked up a little rouge with a silver needle and dripped it into the light yellow stamens, only to see that the original delicate stamens suddenly turned purple-black.Seeing this, the imperial concubine backed away tremblingly, muttering: "No, no." The ninth-rank official looked at the imperial concubine with deep meaning: "Your Majesty, it is as expected. This poisoning You can be said to be very clever, mixed the juice of the bliss grass into the rouge, and the empress used it every day. This Jinsha orchid fragrance is called orchid miasma. The two non-toxic things mixed together become highly poisonous, and it really kills people invisible." "Yes. Ah, really clever, clever." The imperial concubine fell down on the stool, as if sleepwalking, lost her mind.The nine-rank officials hurried forward to support the imperial concubine, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you alright?" Thinking of the other pair of eyes, the imperial concubine suddenly had the urge to cry, trembling all over, trying her best to hold it back.The officials of the ninth grade thought that the imperial concubine was afraid, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although this poison is rare, it is easy to cure. Just take Jinshalan root and rub the nostrils for three consecutive days. It can be cured when you sneeze. Let’s do it.” After finishing speaking, he took the pot of flowers and went out to get the root juice.

The imperial concubine leaned helplessly on the side of the table, staring blankly at the red blood in the white jade box, clearly felt that something in her heart was cracking open little by little, and a drop of clear tears flowed down silently.
