Upon hearing this, Wen Ruqing was the first to change her color, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important. You'd better listen to the doctor Qi and go outside with the empress."
"If you are afraid, just go out and no one will stop you." Nian glanced at Wen Ruqing with disgust, turning a blind eye to her embarrassed expression due to her words, only staring at Doctor Qi and saying: "How can there be such a thing in the world?"
Doctor Qi, please don't talk nonsense about breathing poison."
"Weichen is not talking nonsense." Doctor Qi paused and said: "When Weichen was young, he traveled around and encountered a poisonous man who was carefully raised by evil sects in the world. This poisonous man did not speak of blood.
Even the skin and nails were hopelessly poisonous. Anyone who had a conflict with him was poisoned to death, and no one was spared. Later, someone designed to encircle and suppress this poisonous man. After dozens of lives were lost, he was finally
trapped and killed
He, but no one expected that the breath that the poisonous person exhaled before his death actually contained the same poison, and all the survivors died under this breath." Before Nian could deny it, he already said: "This matter is...
Wei Chen saw with his own eyes that Wei Chen managed to escape death because he was far away and had contained antidote medicine in advance. However, he also fell seriously ill after returning and only recovered after lingering for more than a month. Many years later, Wei Chen
I still shudder when I think about it."
Nian sneered at this and didn't believe it at all, "Hong Sheng is not that poisonous person, how could he be so scary? Don't confuse people with your lies here. Besides, if even your breath is poisonous, how can I stand properly?"
here."
"I can't guarantee this, but the poison has been dormant for so long, and when it bursts out, it is so terrifying. I really have to guard against it, so please stay away from it for the time being." Imperial Physician Qi earnestly advised.
Nian shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's impossible. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just here to guard Hong Sheng. He will be fine."
Wen Ruqing said softly to Yinzhen, who was sullen and silent: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is the most important thing. With Imperial Physician Qi and the others here, Third Brother will be fine."
Yinzhen nodded slightly and made a decision in his mind, "Su Yan, listen to Imperial Physician Qi and go outside for now. There is only a wall between us. If anything happens, you can come over at any time. Besides, there is nothing you and I can do here."
"
Seeing Yinzhen's words, Nian had no choice but to nod helplessly and left the inner hall with three steps at a time. Those who stayed behind also took antidotes and covered their mouths to prevent accidents.
When they got outside, they saw Imperial Physician Liu behind their backs, checking Hong Sheng's daily food, and asking the palace officials from time to time.
After checking one by one, Doctor Liu did not find anything abnormal, and his brows suddenly frowned. It was strange that no problem was found. Where did this poison come from? It couldn't be generated out of thin air.
"Are you sure there is nothing missing? Think carefully. If I find out later that you have concealed something, I will tell the truth to the emperor and the noble concubine." Doctor Liu once again asked the palace servants who were waiting for Hong Sheng.
.
Just as Tang Qi was about to speak, Xiao Duozi, who had come out before, suddenly said, "I remember, Third Brother clearly drinks a cup of tea made with dew every day. Does this count?"
Doctor Liu perked up and said hurriedly: "Naturally, where is the tea? Bring it over quickly."
Xiao Duozi said in embarrassment: "There is not much dew. Every time I make tea, it disappears. The remaining tea leaves are also poured out. There is really no way to pick it up. Otherwise, the slaves would have taken it out long ago."
Next to him, Tang Qi showed a look of quiet enlightenment, "Ah, I have also remembered, I have been making tea with dew water for several months. Third Brother also said that every time he drinks tea, he feels refreshed and even endorses it.
Also remember to be extra tight."
Yinzhen listened clearly from behind and asked Nian with his eyes. Nian nodded slightly and said: "It is indeed the case, but I have been drinking the tea made with dew for a long time. I don't see anything wrong with Hong Sheng. On the contrary
After drinking it, I became more energetic. I saw that it was beneficial and harmless, so I didn't care about him anymore."
Dr. Liu heard Nian's voice and quickly turned around to greet him. At this time, Wen Ruqing said rather strangely: "Although dew is difficult to collect, in the final analysis it is just ordinary water. How can it be refreshing?"
The effect? It’s so confusing that people don’t understand it.”
She was not the only one who had this question. Doctor Liu thought for a moment and asked, "Which of you collects dew for Third Brother?"
Xiao Duozi and Tang Qi were Hong Sheng's personal chamberlains. When they heard Imperial Physician Liu's question, they both pointed at each other at the same time and said, "It's him!"
With such contradictory words, even they themselves were stunned after they finished speaking. Xiao Duozi said in surprise: "Hey, weren't you the one who collected dew for Third Brother?"
"I thought it was you!" Tang Qi was even more surprised than Xiao Duozi. After a confrontation, he found that except for a period of time a year ago, the two of them had never collected dew again.
Yinzhen had already frowned. If Tang Qi and Xiao Duozi had not collected dew, then where did the dew used by Hong Sheng to make tea come from?
After Xiao Duozi thought about it carefully, he kowtowed and said: "Although I don't know who collected the dew, every day the third elder brother will give a bamboo jar to the slave and ask the slave to use the dew in the bamboo jar to make tea.
, I thought it was collected by Tang Qi at that time, so I didn’t ask any more questions.” Tang Qi couldn’t help nodding next to him, obviously he was also impressed by the bamboo jar Xiao Duozi mentioned.
Hearing the clue, Doctor Liu hurriedly asked: "Is the bamboo jar still there?"
"It should still be there. I will get it for you right now." After Xiao Duozi replied, he ran out quickly. When he came back, he had a bamboo jar in his hand.
After taking it, Imperial Physician Liu looked at the bamboo jar carefully. He used the bamboo joints at both ends to form a natural jar, then made a hole in it and plugged it with a wooden stopper.
When Nian first saw this bamboo jar, she felt that it looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a while. When she saw Doctor Liu smearing some water from it with his fingers, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, she thought
Get up, it's Hongli. When she saw Hongli near the bamboo forest before, he had this thing in his hand, and there were many tied inside the bamboo forest.
Why did Hongli's bamboo jar appear in Hongsheng's house? She had not allowed Hongsheng to have any contact with Hongli, and was monitored by palace officials. In the past six months, except for classes, she had not had any contact with him.
In that room, Yinzhen had already asked: "Doctor Liu, how are you? Is this dew poisonous?"
Doctor Liu was very cautious and did not put the dew in his mouth. Instead, he kept twirling his fingers. Then he ordered someone to get a silver needle. As soon as it touched the dew, the silver needle turned black immediately.
Doctor Liu was surprised and happy. He finally found the source of the poison and immediately said: "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, it is this dew that is poisonous. The third elder brother should have been poisoned by drinking tea made from dew for a long time."
