Chapter 231 The poison that Qingling Pill cannot cure
At that time, Jin Shangshu was in the imperial study room mediating the matter of digging a canal in Qingzhou. In fact, the fourth prince was responsible for this task. As a newly promoted member of the third prince party, it would be good if he did not interfere with it. It was impossible for him to speak for the fourth prince.
.However, he promised the third prince more than one million taels of military expenses. Without a big project as a cover, there was no way to move the money.
Therefore, under the joint operation of Jin Shangshu and the Minister of Industry, Emperor Danxu finally agreed to allocate funds to dig the canal. Jin Shangshu just breathed a sigh of relief when Long Wei came to report the trip of Prince Yun's Mansion and Guo Gong's Mansion. The emperor suddenly became stunned.
With a pale face, he grabbed the inkstone on the imperial desk and smashed it to the ground.
Long Wei and Emperor Danxu were whispering, and neither Jin Shangshu nor the Minister of Works knew what he was reporting. But Long Yan was furious, and Jin Shangshu had something in his heart, so he knelt down involuntarily. The Minister of Works even knelt down when he saw Jin Shangshu.
, it seemed too ignorant to stand by myself, so I had to kneel down too.
The moment Jin Shangshu knelt down, he secretly complained in his heart. By chance, he knelt on a broken piece of the inkstone, which made his knees hurt. But before the emperor, he was not allowed to move at will, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
Emperor Danxu disliked the fact that they were forcing him to get angry, so he waved them away. The two of them left the imperial study room as if they had been granted amnesty.
Emperor Danxu was pounding ping-pong-pong balls, while Zhang Jinliang huddled in a corner, trying to minimize his presence, for fear that the emperor's wrath would affect him. He had been stabbed in the head every now and then, and now when he went to the imperial hospital, the imperial doctor greeted him with -
—Eunuch Zhang, his head is broken again...
After smashing everything on the imperial desk, Emperor Danxu returned to Panlong Palace angrily. Zhang Jinliang hurriedly followed. Before leaving, he ordered the eunuch on duty in the imperial study to clean up the place and quickly replace it with the new Four Treasures of the Study.
, pen holder, paperweight, etc.
The eunuch on duty twitched at the corner of his mouth. Recently, the four treasures of the study were being used up too fast. They had to be replaced with new ones every now and then. The supply of pen holders and the like was almost out of stock. The Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly ordered the imperial kiln factory to bake a batch of new ones.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry belonged to the fourth prince. He went straight to the fourth prince's house after coming out of the palace and told the fourth prince that the emperor had approved the construction of the canal. He also said that Jin Shangshu had helped and said a lot of good things. The fourth prince only knew that Jin Shangshu had always been
I showed my goodwill to Uncle Yun Huang, but I didn't know that he secretly took refuge with the third prince, so I kept this "good" on Uncle Yun Emperor's head.
Emperor Danxu approved three million taels of silver in advance for the construction of the canal, and Jin Shangshu planned to use half of it to pay for the military expenses of the third prince. He dared to do this because the prefect of Qingzhou was his brother-in-law. He could remove the silver first, and then
If we go more smoothly from another place, with my brother-in-law covering us, there will be no trouble.
Jin Shangshu first wrote a letter to his brother-in-law to "explain", and after he finished talking about the business and promised many benefits, he took the pen away. He sealed the envelope and asked his confidants to rush to Qingzhou. Watching his confidants leave, he personally allocated funds and arranged for escort. Everything.
After the arrangements were made, the third prince was invited to come out to discuss the time and place for handing over the silver coins.
The Zhuangzi that Mrs. Su gave Mingruo was in the suburbs of Beijing, and the group arrived at the Zhuangzi at noon. Mingruo asked Zicao to prepare barbecue ingredients, seasonings and grills the night before, preparing for a BBQ.
Mingruo chose a flat piece of grass and asked Shishi and Xunyi to set up a barbecue grill. Zicao brushed the prepared ingredients with sauce, and the steward of the village brought some fresh vegetables and jujube wine brewed last year.
The old lady asked her servants to spread a thick felt on the grass, and everyone sat down to eat fruit snacks and chat.#@$&
The first wave of food was grilled, and Zi Su brought it over on a large plate and placed it in the middle. Various meats and vegetables were put on skewers, painted with bright sauce and sprinkled with chili powder and cumin seeds.
Full of flavor.
The men all started with pure meat skewers, and some aunts preferred the ones with mixed vegetables and meat. Everyone ate them and praised them.
My eldest aunt remembered the joke Ming Ruo told at the red butterfly viewing party: "We have two barbecue grills today, and the only one missing is the 'Peng's Back'."
This joke was so funny that as soon as the two aunts returned home, they told it to the old lady and passed it on from one to the other. Finally, the entire Duke's mansion knew about it.
Therefore, when the eldest aunt said this, everyone laughed.%&(&
The old lady took Mingruo's hand and said with a smile: "My Ruo'er is smarter than a little monkey."
Si Haochen originally had no interest in these things, but it seemed to be related to his princess, so he caught Mingruo for "torture". When Mingruo told Si Haochen the joke, His Royal Highness Prince Yun, who always showed off his ice face, couldn't help but laugh.
Mrs. Su saw the young couple chatting together in private, and Prince Yun looked at Ruo'er's eyes full of doting and smiled heartily.
After everyone ate for a long time, Mingruo couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say that the camp is very close to here? Why aren't my eldest uncle and second cousin here?"
"I should have come a long time ago, but I'm afraid something might have caught me up." My eldest aunt was also a little suspicious.
Barbecuing is meant to be eaten while grilling, so I started eating without waiting for everyone to gather. But it was already past lunch time and they hadn't come back yet, so something was wrong.
"I'm going to greet my uncle and second brother." The fourth cousin got up and went to fetch the horse.
"I'll go with you." The fifth cousin also followed.
Not long after the two cousins left, the fifth cousin came back and galloped all the way through the village on horseback.
When he came close, he didn't even bother to dismount, so he said: "Cousin, go and have a look. My second brother has been hit by an arrow. The arrow has been quenched with poison. My eldest uncle gave my second brother a Qingling Pill, but it didn't work."
"Take me there quickly." Mingruo stood up suddenly.
Just as Su Qin was about to pull his cousin onto the horse, Si Haochen also stood up, whistled and Lie Yan ran over. Lie Yan snorted at Su Qin's horse, frightening Su Qin's horse to retreat.
Si Haochen picked up Mingruo and jumped on the horse's back, saying in a deep voice: "Lead the way."
"Okay." Su Qin quickly caged the horse, turned its head and ran towards the house on the village.
When they heard that Su Yang had been poisoned by a poison that the Qingling Pill could not cure, everyone panicked and followed him closely.
When Mingruo saw his second cousin, his lips turned purple and he was unconscious. Mingruo quickly stepped forward to check and found that the poison in his cousin was very complex. The main ingredients were: belladonna, henbane and a poison that grows in the tropics.
Mushrooms. Preparing a special antidote is very troublesome, but fortunately this poison elixir can solve it.
Mingruo quickly took out the Yiling Pill from his 'sleeve bag' and fed it to his second cousin. Then, he used scissors to cut the clothes around the incision and applied needles to seal the acupuncture points to control the spread of toxins.
The uncle said: "I tried to pull out the arrow, but it seemed like there was a barb on the arrowhead and I couldn't pull it out."
"I know." Mingruo activated the medical system and took a picture during the examination just now, and he could clearly see the sinister nature of the arrow.
Mingruo disinfected it first, and then said: "It needs a minor operation. Let's go out first and don't block the light."
