Gu Jiali rubbed his brows irritably and continued: "Since the emperor has issued a strict order not to spread the news of his illness to the outside world, how did the queen and the imperial master know about it?"
"That day when the official was summoned to the Chengqian Palace to diagnose the emperor's illness, the empress was standing by, and she never left after that, so she knew the inside story whether it was passed on or not. As for why the imperial master knew... this
The officials don’t know either.”
Sure enough, it is related to the queen!
Gu Jiali's eyes darkened, "Last question, is it possible that the emperor's symptoms were caused by poisoning?"
"It's unlikely." After several rounds of questions and answers, Doctor Yang's thinking became much clearer, and he replied in an orderly manner: "The day after the symptoms were discovered, the official checked the emperor's diet the day before, as well as the food in the recent period.
No abnormalities were found in the underwear, sheets, bedding, etc.”
"Furthermore, Xiaguan has been practicing medicine for many years and has read countless medical books. He has never seen a poison that does not hurt people's muscles, veins, and heart, but only damages the skin. If it must be related to poison, some poisonous insects can cause such wounds, but so
This is my first time seeing a large area."
After listening to his methodical analysis, Gu Jiali made a decision in his mind. He waved his hand and said, "You should go back to Taiyuan Hospital first. If necessary, I will have someone call you."
Doctor Yang, as if he had been granted amnesty, wiped his sweat and left.
The confessions of the next few imperial doctors were basically consistent with those of Imperial Doctor Yang. After asking all the imperial doctors, Gu Jiali raised his head and looked at Shen Qingqing, who had been watching by the door, "What do you think?"
"Two things can be determined at present. One is that this matter is closely related to the queen. The second emperor's strange disease is caused by poisonous insects."
Gu Jiali nodded, "I have the same idea as you. The question now is how to treat the emperor's injury. If it continues like this, it will put his life in danger even if it is not life-threatening."
"The wound kept getting worse before because we didn't deal with the root cause. Now that the poisonous insect has been eliminated, it is equivalent to the danger source of producing venom gone. As long as it is handled properly, the situation should get better."
Shen Qingqing raised her eyes with clear eyes, "Let the imperial doctors let go of the treatment. All the rotten flesh that needs to be removed will be removed. Don't skimp on the herbs that need to be applied."
As she spoke, she took out two bottles of medicine from her waist and handed them to him, "These are medicines made by Divine Doctor Zhang. One is an antidote pill that can cure hundreds of poisons, and the other is an ointment that can remove scars and nourish the skin. Take them both... I hope
They haven't had time to do anything against the emperor, it's all because of our overthinking."

It was already dark when Shen Qingqing returned to the General's Mansion. Her family and Zhao Ying were guarding the side door. When they saw her coming back, they hurriedly greeted her. All kinds of questions kept popping up like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.
"How's it going? Have you met the emperor?"
"Is the emperor in good health? Is he injured?"
"Has that poisonous woman Li Rou been caught? Why hasn't any news been spread?"
"..."
Shen Qingqing made a pause gesture, "I've been hungry all day, let me eat some food first."
When the food was served, a group of people refused to leave. They sat around the table and watched helplessly as she ate alone.
Shen Qingqing really couldn't stand everyone's fiery looks, so she hurriedly took two mouthfuls of food and started talking: "There is good news and bad news. The bad news is that the emperor is in very bad condition now. Considering his physical condition, Yu'er
I haven’t said anything about it yet.”
"The good news is that the guards of the Chengqian Palace have been replaced by Mr. Gu, and the emperor's follow-up treatment has also been fully taken over by Mr. Gu. What we have to do now is to wait until the emperor's body has almost recovered, and then we can start to deal with it.
Two big bugs."
"I have another question." Zhao Ying held the edge of the table with both hands, looking fierce as if he was about to fight with someone, "Did they cause the emperor to become like this?"
Shen Qingqing nodded, "Yes."
After saying this, he quickly protected his job before Zhao Ying slapped the table, "Don't slap the table. If you dare to slap the table, I will chop off your claws!"
Meng Qixue looked at Zhao Ying's arms hanging in the air, held her little face in her hands and asked: "Why does Uncle Zhao always bang the table? If the table is broken, don't you need money to buy it?"
"Of course, this is extravagance and waste, don't imitate him." Meng Qiyu educated her sister seriously.
Zhao Ying, who was being treated as a negative example, stiffened his arms and then scratched the back of his head. He was not confident and strong enough to defend himself: "I didn't mean to slap the table. My head is itchy. Isn't it okay?"
"Do you think I believe you?" Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows and glanced at him.
"Forget it if you don't believe me. Anyway, I'm already making changes." Zhao Ying retorted weakly, lifted up his clothes and stood up, "I have something to do over there, so I won't sit here with you. If you are missing something,
Just ask for it from your servants, don’t be embarrassed, just treat the General’s Mansion as your own home.”
After that, he ran away with numb legs and feet.
Meng Qiyun folded his arms and said seriously: "Look, he feels guilty."
Zhao Ying ran faster when he heard the sound.
In the next few days, the family concentrated on waiting for news at the General's Mansion. There were no entertainment facilities in the mansion and they were not allowed to go shopping, which frustrated Shen Qingqing and the children.
On the third day, Shen Qingqing couldn't stand idle any longer, so she took a pen and ink and started researching and designing multi-shot crossbow arrows.
This thing had been placed in her master's house in her previous life, and she tore it apart out of curiosity. Later, her master put a knife to her neck and put it back intact.
After dismantling and assembling it, the internal structure is basically clear.
The most indispensable thing in the General's Mansion is all kinds of weapons, so the raw materials are also very complete.
So she drew pictures and gave guidance, and Meng Yuan started to operate it himself. It only took one day to make a simple three-shot crossbow.
The crossbow arrow didn't look good, and it wasn't easy to use, but Meng Qifeng liked it so much that he practiced with it until midnight the first day, and started to practice again at dawn the next day.
The others were eating and drinking, and they were not surprised by his obsessive appearance.
After practicing hard for nearly two hours, his arms were sore and the sun was getting hot. Meng Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared to put away his arrows and wait for the weather to cool down before practicing again.
He was sticking his butt out to pull out the crossbow arrow from the grass handle, when suddenly someone came out from behind and hugged him so tightly that he almost couldn't breathe.
Then the old woman's joyful voice sounded in her ears: "The sweet grandson of the Ai family is so amazing. He learned how to shoot at such a young age and he shot accurately every time. He is much better than your idiot father!"
Good grandson? Stupid dad?
Meng Qifeng was confused. Does he have another father?
Could it be that he is also a wild child that his parents picked up from the mountains?
He tried his best to break away from the old woman's arms, and when he turned around, he saw an old woman dressed similarly to the old woman in the village.
Wearing gray cloth clothes and a gray cloth headscarf, she kept grinning at him, especially like the man-eating wolf grandma in the stories my mother told me. This chapter has been completed!
