"Wei Chen will find a way to investigate, but there is no need to worry too much if Ling Chang is there. Although the aconite flower poison is violent and deadly, you can find out the clues by testing it with a silver needle."
While they were talking, the palace attendant came in with some boiled medicine. After taking it, A Luo felt better. After Song Zihua checked his pulse again, he said: "As long as you continue to take the medicine on time, you will be cured within three days."
After Song Zihua left, A Luo weakly said to Cai Ling: "My slave is fine. Master, please go back and rest. Don't be tired."
Cailing sat down and said: "If something like this happened, how could I sleep? I'd better stay here with you." At this point, she said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, you tried a sip of the medicine for me, otherwise if I drank it all
Go down, there is no life left to talk to you here, it’s really scary just thinking about it.”
A Luo twitched his lips and said, "My master is blessed with great blessings. How can a little poison harm my life?"
Cai Ling gritted her teeth and said: "If I find out who poisoned me, I will definitely report it to the emperor and let him punish him severely." After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something and said: "A Luo, in addition to tasting it for me tonight,
Besides medicine, what else have you taken?"
"Before I cooked the medicine, I felt hungry and uncomfortable, so I asked the father-in-law from the Royal Pharmacy for some pastries to eat." As soon as A Luo finished speaking, Cai Ling said hurriedly: "I know, it must be those pastries.
Question, I will ask Imperial Physician Song to come back and go to the imperial kitchen to check."
"Master." A Luo pulled Cai Ling with difficulty and said, "It can't be those pastries. The imperial doctor of Song Dynasty said that the aconite flower poison attacks very quickly. If it were those pastries, it should have taken effect long ago. How could it have waited until now.
"
Cai Ling thought about it and said dejectedly: "It's not this, it's not that, where did this poison come from? It can't just appear out of thin air."
A Luo was silent for a while and said, "I suspect... that the problem lies in that bowl of medicine."
"I suspect so too, but the Imperial Physician of the Song Dynasty has seen the prescription and the dregs of the medicine and said there is no problem." At this point, Cai Ling's expression turned cold and said, "Unless the Imperial Physician of the Song Dynasty colluded with that surnamed Zhuang Liao and acted in collusion.
"
A Luo took a breath and said, "I have had many contacts with the imperial doctor of Song Dynasty in the past. He is an upright person and would not do such harmful things. But the medicine dregs, anyone can enter and exit the imperial pharmacy. Is there anyone who can leave the imperial pharmacy?"
Later, the poison was taken away from the medicine residue?"
Cai Ling frowned and thought: "What you said is not impossible, but the prescription is clearly there, and there is no poison. How could it be in the dregs of the medicine? You also said that no one came near when the medicine was boiled. Who else could do anything with it?
?”
"Someone...someone can do something." A Luo took a breath and said: "I remember that when I went to the imperial pharmacy to get medicine, the little eunuch looked a little weird. I didn't take it to heart at the time. Looking back now, it's possible that
, that is, he secretly attached
The aconite flowers were mixed into the medicine. After all, the slave did not know the medicinal materials. Whatever he gave, the slave took. Afterwards, he may have followed the slave quietly. After the slave left, he went to the imperial kitchen to take the residue of the aconite flowers from the medicine residue.
Leave so that the Song Dynasty physician cannot find out."
"How can a young eunuch be so brave, unless..." Cai Ling said the second half of the sentence with an ugly face, "She was instructed by someone."
A Luo struggled to stand up and said: "Who is it? Who has such a deep hatred for the master and wants to put the master to death?"
Cailing stared at the dimly burning candle and said coldly: "It's a pure concubine. It must be her. Only she wants my life."
"Pure concubine..." A Luo murmured and repeated, "Yes, Dr. Zhuang must have told her about the master. She was afraid that the master would really be pregnant with a dragon seed and be on an equal footing with her, so she tried to bribe Yu.
medicine
The young eunuch in the house asked him to mix aconite flower poison into the master's medicine. The pure concubine was really terrible. Not only was she vicious in heart, but she was also careful in thinking. She made this matter so watertight that the imperial doctor of the Song Dynasty could not find any clues.
"
"Can't you find any clues?" Cai Ling snorted coldly: "Don't forget, there are two more medicines, they must be mixed with aconite flowers."
A Luo shook his head and said in a solemn voice: "As a pure concubine, she will not be easily caught by others, so I guess that among the three sets of medicine, only one is mixed with aconite flowers. In this way, she will not
There are no traces left.”
"I don't believe she can think everything through. There must be flaws." With that said, Cai Ling ordered the palace servants to take the remaining two sets of medicine to Song Zihua, but the result was the same as what A Luo said.
Any findings.
Cai Ling said angrily: "I know that she is the one who harmed me, but I can't prove it. It's really hateful!" She walked back and forth in the room irritably, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She said angrily: "No, I can't.
Just let her go, even if she can't be cured of her crime, I still want her to look good."
Seeing that she was about to go out, A Luo said hurriedly: "Master, don't be impulsive. If you go to Yikun Palace now, not only will you not be able to vent your anger, but you will also take advantage of the pure concubine's will and give her the opportunity to attack you. Once you get into trouble in front of the emperor,
, things will be more troublesome."
Cai Ling said angrily: "Is this the case?"
A Luo sighed and said: "We can only forget it. Speaking of it, this time it's the slave's fault. If the slave hadn't invited Dr. Zhuang to come, the pure concubine wouldn't know about it, and she wouldn't have the chance to use any means to harm the master. The master wants to
Just blame the slave."
Cai Ling was also complaining about Ah Luo in her heart. When she heard her mention it, she complained: "It's true that you usually do things carefully and cautiously, but this time you were so reckless. Not only did you invite a man named Zhuang, but you also said anything to him.
.”
"I know I was wrong. I also hoped that my master would get what he wanted as soon as possible and give birth to a son for the emperor, so as not to be angry with the concubine again. I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. My slave..." A Luo Yue
The more I felt guilty, the more I couldn't help crying.
Seeing her like this, Cai Ling couldn't blame her too much. After all, A Luo had helped her a lot along the way, and she would still have someone to rely on in the future. Zhu Zhu said, "Well, don't cry either. From now on,
Be careful and don’t make this mistake again.”
After Ah Luo wiped her tears and agreed, Cai Ling said a little irritably: "Is there really nothing we can do about the pure concubine this time?"
A Luo said helplessly: "Unless evidence can be found, otherwise... the master can only swallow this sigh of relief for the time being. In fact, the slave is more worried about the future. The pure concubine is sinister and vicious, and the methods she uses are hard to guard against. The slave now only needs to think about it
, I feel chilly all over.”
Cai Ling nodded in agreement, clasped her hands tightly and said, "We can't let her live, we must not let her live, otherwise we will never have a peaceful life in the future."
A Luo was silent for a moment and said softly: "Master, do you still remember what happened at Yanxi Palace?"
"You said Ying'er pushed me to hit the second elder brother?" Facing Cai Ling's words, A'luo shook his head and said: "No, I mean that the cat hair was mixed in the second elder brother's braid, which caused the queen's allergic reaction and put the blame on it.
