He cupped his hands towards Hongli and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, although cold and fever are contagious, they will not be transmitted to many people in a short period of time like epidemics and plagues, making them sick at the same time, so for this
Wei Chen is also very strange about what happened this time, but he doesn’t have any clue at the moment.”
Hongli frowned and said, "Could it be that... it's not actually a cold and fever disease, but poisoning?"
All the imperial doctors looked at each other, and they all heard what Hongli meant. They clearly suspected that someone was poisoning secretly. Zhou Minghua thought for a moment, stepped forward and said: "To tell you what the emperor is saying, Wei Chen and others have made a careful diagnosis. From the pulse condition
It seems that Brother Jiu and the others are indeed suffering from cold and fever, and it has nothing to do with poison."
"According to what you said, is this just a coincidence?" When he said this, anger gathered in Hongli's brows, and all the doctors lowered their heads in fear, not daring to answer casually for fear of being unlucky.
Sure enough, the next moment, Hongli looked around at them coldly and shouted: "You all hold an official position and receive a salary from the imperial court. Now something happened in the palace. You can neither save anyone nor know where the trouble came from. The imperial court raised you."
What use do you have?!"
"I deserve to die!" Seeing that Hong Li was angry, all the imperial doctors knelt down to plead guilty. Hong Li snorted coldly, looked at Rong Yuan who was still standing, suppressed his anger and said, "Does Imperial Physician Xu have any clues?"
Rong Yuan was awakened by his words, lowered his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, although the common people found no traces of poisoning in the pulse of Ninth Elder Brother, the cold and heat in Ninth Elder Brother's body are severe. It looks like he is suffering from cold and fever."
People from the sun, but according to the words of the noble concubine, Brother Jiu only started to show symptoms last night, so the common people doubted that Brother Jiu
My brother may have taken something that would aggravate the condition while suffering from cold and fever. If we continue to investigate this way, we may be able to find out where the disaster came from." Seeing that Hongli didn't speak, he added: "If the emperor agrees,
, the common people want to see the nanny who takes care of Brother Ninth, and see what Brother Ninth ate yesterday. You must know all the three meals in the morning, noon and evening."
"Pass." After saying the word, Hongli glanced at Si Xi again and said, "In addition, Brother Jiu had lunch at Jingren Palace yesterday. Go and pass An Lu to see me!"
While Si Xi was ordered to pass on Anlu, a figure quietly left outside Changchun Palace and quickly came to the inner hall of Jingren Palace. At this time, Yehenala was frowning and drinking medicine from Chuntao's hand.
On a warm spring day, she was actually wrapped in a thick cotton coat that was only worn in winter.
Xiao Dezi clapped his sleeves and knelt down and said, "I wish you good luck to your master. I wish you good luck."
Yehenala swallowed the last sip of the decoction, gargled the astringent taste in his mouth, tightened his tight cotton clothes, and said, "How is it?"
Xiao Dezi chuckled and said: "Everything is as expected by the master. Several empresses and elder brothers in the palace have suffered from cold and fever. The most serious ones are probably those in Changchun Palace. The emperor and all the imperial doctors are still here. In addition,
, I heard that even Dr. Xu was here, but I didn’t know who the sick person was, so I couldn’t go up to ask.”
"Mr. Xu?" Yehenala raised her eyebrows in surprise, "He is the master who refuses to enter the palace easily. It seems that the illness in Changchun Palace is really serious."
Chuntao ordered someone to take the basin down and said: "I remember that at the banquet yesterday, the person who ate the most crab meat soup dumplings and jujube yam cakes was Brother Jiu. Nine times out of ten, it was him."
Although his body was shivering from the cold, Yehenala still smiled and said, "Okay! The more seriously the illness becomes, the more suspicious the emperor will be, so he can get to the bottom of it."
Chuntao hesitated and said, "I'm a little worried. If the imperial doctor doesn't realize that the ingredients are incompatible with each other, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
When she mentioned it like this, Xiao Dezi also thought about it and whispered: "Master, should we try to remind you?"
Yehenala glanced at him and said with an unkind expression: "Do you really think that all those imperial doctors are vegetarians? How could they not know what I can read in medical books? Even if they are too busy to remember it,
Since then
You will remember, especially now that there is an additional Dr. Xu." As she spoke, she stared at the pale-faced Xiao Dezi and said: "If your talkativeness spoils the important affairs of this palace, even if you have ten
The head is not enough to chop off."
"You deserve to die!" Xiao Dezi quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake. At this time, a palace servant walked in quickly, bowed hastily, and gasped: "Master, Jiu Age is dead!"
Yehenala's face changed drastically, and she stared at the palace attendant closely and said, "What did you say, say it again?!"
The palace attendant followed the words and said: "There is news from the Changchun Palace that Brother Jiu suddenly fell ill last night, suffering from severe colds and fevers. All the imperial doctors were unable to save him. He passed away suddenly not long ago!"
Yehenara was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed and clapped his hands and said: "Good! It's really good. I didn't expect such an unexpected gain!"
Xiao Dezi reacted quickly, and immediately said with a flattering smile: "Congratulations, master, although I have not eliminated Concubine Ying, but by mistake, I eliminated the ninth elder brother, which can be regarded as a revenge!"
Chuntao also said: "Concubine Ying has a low status, but she is restless. She has relied on the Queen and her twins to get the honor she has today. Now her fortune has begun to decline. Otherwise, how could a cold and fever kill Brother Jiu?
life."
After Yehenala laughed, she felt very happy and felt that even the chill in her body had disappeared a lot. She fiddled with her pearl ears and said happily: "It seems that this time, even God is helping me, Wei Jingxuan... I...
Let's see how you can get away this time!" After a moment of pause, she said again: "Where is the Eighth Prince, is he okay?"
When the palace servant heard her asking about Yongxuan, he quickly said: "Returning to the master, I haven't heard anything about the Eighth Prince. I think he should be fine."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Yehenara's eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "I understand, please step back."
Chuntao knew what he meant and said with relief: "Master, don't worry, you just said that even God is helping you, so you will definitely achieve what you want, it's just a matter of sooner or later."
"Yes, yes." Xiao Dezi echoed: "I remember when the eighth prince was born, I asked a fortune teller about his birth date. He said that this was a sign of a short life and he would definitely not survive.
Ten years old, you..."
"Okay." Yehenala interrupted Xiao Dezi's words and said coldly: "No matter what God's will is, and no matter what their fate is, in short...the lives of their mother and son, I have taken care of them.
." After saying that, she looked at Xiao Dezi and said: "Go and inquire again. As soon as you have any news, come and report it to me immediately. Remember, don't talk too much, let alone get into trouble without permission, otherwise I will only be your boss.
ask."
"I understand." When Xiao Dezi was about to leave, Yehenala remembered something and called him out: "Is there an imperial doctor sent to Kunning Palace?"
