After Yongping passed out, the imperial doctor administered acupuncture and medicine. After another hour or two, he faintly woke up.
During this period, Liang Jing was always by his side.
Wei Zhong and Xue Hengzhao also stayed together.
The imperial doctor still did not allow him to eat, saying that people who were poisoned should not eat for a few days, otherwise the poison would be aggravated.
Therefore, you are only allowed to drink water and take medicine.
When Yongping woke up again, his mind was much clearer than before, and his strength had also recovered.
Concubine Xian's palace has also sent people here. She is now helping the Queen to manage the Sixth Palace. When such a big thing happens, it is unjustifiable not to come forward.
Liang Jing asked Yongping to tell the story in detail. Yongping asked for some warm water to drink. His throat was swollen and his voice was hoarse: "Since yesterday, Mao Dachun has told us that we want to have a light meal together.
He also said it was Miss Youzhu, and asked him again and again to thank us brothers.
We don’t think there’s anything wrong, after all, they are from the same hometown. Besides, we are always dealing with them now, and Miss Youzhu has always been a very particular person.
But no matter what, we are a girl’s family after all, and it’s not easy for her to eat at the same table as us, so she asked Mao Dachun to do it for her.
Because everyone had something to do in the evening, we changed it to noon.
There are four of us, plus two of Mao Dachun’s apprentices.
At that time, I was afraid of being seen, so the doors and windows were closed.
There were several dishes on the banquet, all cooked by the small kitchen on the west side, and tea and wine were also prepared.
The few of us chatted and ate and drank. My little one had abdominal pain in the past few days and had a bad appetite, so I ate less. I think it was for this reason that my little one escaped.
At that time, the meal was already halfway through. Song Dunzi first held his stomach and cried out in pain, and then fell down. He had a large appetite and ate a lot.
I also felt a stomachache, but because I didn’t have a stomachache these days, I didn’t think about it elsewhere at first, and then several other people also complained of pain.
One of Mao Dachun's apprentices crawled to open the door, but before he could reach the door, he fell to the ground and became motionless. Then I also fainted, and I don't know what happened next.
When I woke up again, I heard that several of them were gone. The little one still can’t figure it out, how could he be poisoned?"
Yongping shed tears unconsciously when he said this. He was weak and sad and couldn't talk any more.
"The food and tea and wine on the table have been brought over. There is no poison in the tea and wine, but they are in the dishes." Doctor Zhou said, "The medicine there should be termite medicine."
"Termite medicine? Is it the same medicine that the people from Furong Palace took away a few days ago?" Liang Jing asked.
"It's the same, this one is definitely good." Imperial Physician Zhou Tai was sure.
"That girl Youzhu was the one who came to receive the medicine at that time." Wu Yuan judged, "It's clearly written in the booklet."
Wei Zhong was naturally a little panicked when he heard this and looked at Xue Hengzhao.
He has experienced Xue Hengzhao's methods. Although the situation has not been made clear yet, all the evidence and witnesses point to Youzhu.
"Now that Concubine Fu is in charge of the imperial eunuch's affairs, and it involves the palace maid in front of her, it seems that it is time for Concubine Fu to come and explain things clearly." Liang Jing said, stood up, "Carry Yong Ping over, I will
When I came here, the Queen had already given instructions to get to the bottom of the matter and report to her."
Everyone understood that Liang Jing had full jurisdiction over this matter.
Concubine Fu was also waiting for news in the palace. Liang Jing and others arrived and explained the situation to her: "According to Yong Ping, the imperial prisoner, You Zhu entrusted Mao Dachun to entertain them.
All six people at the table were poisoned, but he was the only one alive. Therefore, the villain brought all the relevant people over, and also asked the empress to call Miss Youzhu over so that they could face each other."
"How could this have anything to do with Youzhu?" Concubine Fu couldn't help but frown after hearing this, but she still ordered someone to call Youzhu over.
Youzhu was already in a panic, so he evenly opened the packets of medicinal powder according to Xue Hengzhao's instructions.
When I heard that Liang Jing had brought someone here and asked her to ask questions, my heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Fangdian said: "Let me go with you! Don't panic yet, people will be more suspicious if you look like this."
After Youzhu arrived, she gave her usual greetings. Concubine Fu said, "Eunuch Liang has something to ask you. Just tell the truth."
Youzhu nodded and looked at Xue Hengzhao unconsciously.
"Miss Youzhu, what is your relationship with Mao Dachun?" Liang Jing looked directly at Youzhu and asked.
Although several people have already said that You Zhu and Mao Dachun are from the same hometown, Liang Jing still wants to ask again.
It seems like nonsense, but it is not.
This is the correct way to ask questions. Never just listen to one side of the story.
"Returning to Eunuch Liang, Mao Dachun and the servant girl are from the same hometown." At this time, Youzhu also thought clearly. All he had to do was tell the truth. If he did it, he did it. If he didn't do it, he didn't do it.
"Then have you ever asked him to entertain others?" Liang Jing asked again.
"A few days ago, I gave Mao Dachun five taels of silver to treat the guests on my behalf. Naturally, it was out of selfish motives. Firstly, they took care of me in some daily matters. Secondly, I also thought that working together would be smoother in the future."
Youzhu said.
"The imperial doctor found termite poison in the vegetables that Mao Dachun and his friends ate, and just yesterday, you just took the termite poison from the imperial hospital.
Did you give those medicines to Mao Dachun?"
Youzhu's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and he shook his head desperately and said, "How is that possible? That's poison, how could you give it to someone casually? Besides, I have never thought of harming anyone."
"Don't worry. Are the medicines you received yesterday still there? Bring them over and let the imperial doctor count them to see if the number is correct." Liang Jing said.
"It's in our house." Youzhu said, "Why don't you send someone to follow me to get it."
Liang Jing was followed by several people. After hearing this, a young eunuch immediately stood up and went with You Zhu to get the medicine.
When the medicine was brought over, I counted it and found that it was indeed twelve packets, which is not a lot.
"Physician Zhou, you didn't bring us all the termite medicine prepared by your hospital, did you? Is it possible that others still have it?" Wei Zhong asked at this time.
"No, no, there are only so many in total. These are all prepared for immediate use, there is nothing extra." Doctor Zhou said.
"Physician Zhou, don't just look at whether the quantity is enough. You should also consider the weight." This was what Kang Guang, the eunuch chief eunuch in Concubine Xian's palace, said.
His words made Youzhu suddenly become alert. It seemed that Xue Heng had followed the trick he taught her and was not fooled.
"We don't know the weight. Anyway, we received twelve packages in total." Fangdian spoke at this time. She was obviously much calmer than Youzhu, "I just remembered it at the time, and I didn't say how much it was in total."
How many taels are there, just divide them into these twelve packets."
To be honest, the dosage of termite pesticide will not be so precise, but it will be roughly the same.
"That's what I said, but Miss Youzhu seems to be very scared." Kang Guang looks like a short winter melon, dark and fat.
