Wishful Things

Because of this, his handling of this matter will become more and more important.

"Don't worry, your majesty, there is nothing wrong with mourning the family, it's just that there is no danger." The queen mother said, looking at Concubine Sun, and sighed slightly.

Emperor Qingming also glanced over Concubine Sun, and asked in a concentrated voice, "What happened?"

Sister Lan glanced at the soup cup on the desk, and began to narrate the process——

"Returning to Your Majesty, the cause of this matter is this cup of pear soup. The Empress Dowager was copying the scriptures at night, and Sun Taifei brought the pear soup stewed by herself. Before the Empress Dowager could drink it, the maid accidentally knocked it over. Accidentally discovered that this soup was mixed with poison."

Emperor Qingming's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he looked at Concubine Sun: "It's extremely daring to murder the Empress Dowager so blatantly."

"No, Your Majesty, it's not me...it's really not me!" Concubine Sun's lips turned pale, she shook her head in denial.

Some officials outside the hall also looked shocked.

Poisoning the soup, just as His Majesty said, this Concubine Sun is really too bold...

However, how could it be such a coincidence that the maid accidentally knocked it over?

They are all important ministers in the court, and they think more carefully than ordinary people when they look at things, so some people can't help thinking secretly in their hearts.

At this time, the Queen Mother's voice came from the hall: "If it is not for the protection of the late emperor, I am afraid that the life of the Ai family will be given to this pear soup tonight."

The late emperor blesses you?

Does this mean that the maid overturned the soup cup, is it a manifestation of the late emperor?

Now that I am in this mausoleum, and the Empress Dowager was copying scriptures at that time, this statement is very convincing...

"It must be the spirit of the former emperor in heaven, protecting the empress dowager."

"That's why this insidious plan never succeeded..."

Hearing the voices of the officials behind him, Emperor Qingming looked at the cup of pear soup and asked, "Queen Mother, who tested the poison in this soup?"

Is it really his father who has a spirit in the sky?

Or is there someone else who is protecting the queen mother?

After all, it's all good, it's just overturning the pear soup, how could you think of drug testing?

Hearing this question, King Yan pursed his lips slightly.

At this moment, is the other party still suspicious of the queen mother and the people around her?

Faced with such a suspicious person, and there is no meaningless suspicion, how did the empress mother deal with it in Beijing all these years?

"Return to Your Majesty, it's a maidservant."

A green-clothed maid stood up and said in a respectful tone: "It is the maid who confirmed that the poison in this soup is Duoxin San - these days, the maid has studied some medical principles with the girl Akui from the Duke of Zhen's mansion. I saw this poison by chance in a medical book given by Miss Aoi."

The one who stood up was Shi Shi.

There is no other way, Aoi is not here, so we can only let her take over temporarily.

Although the time is tight, but fortunately she has always been calm and calm, and the few words she learned temporarily can also express a convincing atmosphere.

Emperor Qingming had already recognized her as the maid beside Yufeng, his eyes were bright and dark at this moment and he said: "What is Duoxin San?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Duoxin disperses this poison. Within one to two hours after taking it, it will injure the heart veins and cause people to suffocate and faint. It is very similar to some poisonous snake venoms, but it is different from snake venoms— When Shi Shi said this, he paused slightly.

Emperor Qingming looked at her.

"Why, is there anything unspeakable?"

— not really.

Shi Shi pursed his lips.

She just forgot the words for a while.

At this time, I sorted it out in my head for a while, and after going through it again, I made an expression of "this poison is really cruel and abnormal, and the person who poisoned it is too vicious", and said in a low voice with some unbearable: "The difference from snake venom is that once This poison in the body, after passing out of the poison, will kill people in just half an hour... If the Empress Dowager really took this poison and went to bed to rest, it is so late at night, I am afraid that no one will be able to detect it at all."

That is to say, without making a sound, one's life will be taken away.

"And as far as I know, the poisonous injury is in the heart and veins of the lungs. Within three days of death, unless there is an autopsy, there will be no signs of poisoning on the surface. Only three days later, there will be redness on the limbs and face. Purple spots." Shi Shi said: "This servant girl only knows so much."

Physician Zheng at the side was in a complicated mood.

— Isn’t that enough?

Listening to Shi Shi's description without any mistakes, Xu Mingyi's thoughts became completely clear.

Originally, she and Jiaojiao were still thinking that even if the other party wanted to make a move, they would definitely choose after everyone left the palace.

But he didn't expect that he couldn't wait to do it tonight.

Is this impatience?

No, on the contrary—

It is because the person who poisoned him knew the characteristics of this poison, so he rushed to attack tonight. If it was a few days late, when the emperor and King Yan rushed back again, once they saw the Queen Mother's body, they would have to hide the secret of poisoning Can't stop.

The earlier you start, the easier it is to get away with it.

Within three days of death from poisoning, even if the imperial physician examines it, most of them will only be conclusively determined to have died of a sudden heart attack.

If coupled with the emperor's intention to cover up, it is doomed that there will be no second argument.

The experience of the previous life should be roughly like this.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the time and timing of the person who did the poisoning was carefully planned.

"Doctor Zheng, is it true what this maid said?" Emperor Qingming asked confirmingly.

After pondering for a moment, Imperial Physician Zheng said, "Return to Your Majesty, it is true."

In fact, his understanding of this poison is far less than that of this maid, and he has only heard it vaguely. At this time, giving the other party affirmation instead of doubting it is actually a step up for himself-mature imperial physicians usually set themselves up for themselves. down the steps.

But he still knows one thing: "As far as I know, once this poison is ingested, there is no cure in the world."

"There is no cure..."

"This... is too vicious..."

Several officials from the Ministry of Rites shook their heads one after another, with extremely complicated expressions on their faces.

Xu Mingyi clearly knew that the words of Imperial Physician Zheng were not exaggerated.

In this world, there are many diseases that cannot be cured, poisons that cannot be cured, or no antidote can be found, or time cannot run. Human life is actually far more fragile than one thinks. Enough to kill many people.

The so-called superb medical skills can only cure a very small part of it. This is the truth she learned after studying medicine-human power is always insignificant in the face of illness, and because of this, she knows how to be in awe.

It was this awe that made her dare not take risks, even though she was not sure about anything at the time, she still chose to overturn the pear soup.

And as it turns out, being in awe is the right thing to do.

Once the empress dowager drank enough pear soup tonight, facing the poison of Duoxin powder, she would probably be powerless to recover.

"About this poison, there seems to be another record in the book..."
