Is Duke Hua sick? When Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan heard this, they both frowned in unison. Yun Shang quickly said: "What's going on? I heard from my servant that the Duke of Hua went to Prince Rui's Mansion yesterday.
Then why did you suddenly fall ill?"
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "I don't know, I just found out when I got up early today. The master has the habit of doing morning exercises. It's already past Chen time this morning. Before the master got up, the slave felt something was wrong, so he knocked on the door.
No one answered. The old slave hurriedly pushed the door open and saw that the master was pale, his eyes were tightly closed, his expression was in pain, his whole body was cold, and his pulse was extremely weak."
Hearing this, Yun Shang's heart tightened and she quickly said to the housekeeper, "Can you please lead the way, housekeeper? I'll go take a look."
The housekeeper hurriedly responded and took Yun Shang into the Duke's Mansion. They walked around the house for about a quarter of an hour before arriving at an attic. The housekeeper took Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan up to the second floor.
In a room, he opened the door and said to Yun Shang: "Princess, please."
The room was very quiet. This was the first feeling that Yun Shang felt as soon as she entered the room. The faint scent of sandalwood hit her face. The outside should be the study room. The furniture in the room was all black. It was calm and sophisticated, but it was similar to that of Hua Guogong.
People's feelings are different.
Entering the inner room, the style of the furnishings was the same as outside. There were only two maids waiting in the room, and Duke Hua was lying on the bed, motionless.
"Where's grandma?" Yun Shang glanced around and didn't see the Duke's wife, so she turned around and asked the housekeeper beside her.
The housekeeper responded quickly: "The old lady is not in good health, so I don't dare to alarm you. Now the old lady doesn't know it. In fact, several masters and young masters are in court. When the slave sees this scene, the first one is
What comes to mind is to report to the prince and princess."
Yun Shang nodded, walked to the bed and sat down. She raised Hua Guogong's hand and carefully felt his pulse. Her brows gradually furrowed. After a long while, she put down Hua Guogong's hand.
"Princess, what's wrong?" The housekeeper's face was full of anxiety, and even Luo Qingyan raised his eyes to look at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment and then said: "If my judgment is not wrong, my grandfather must have been poisoned."
"Poisoned?" the housekeeper cried out, and asked quickly: "Princess, do you know what kind of poison it is? Is there any solution?"
Yun Shang carefully inspected Hua Guogong's facial features and hands, then stood up and asked, "What did grandpa eat last night?"
The housekeeper thought about it for a moment and then said: "We all ate ordinary meals. Yesterday we made braised pork, braised pork with pickled vegetables, plum blossom chicken slices, green vegetable and tofu soup and a few side dishes. But there should be no poison in the food.
"Last night, the old lady and the gentleman had dinner together. If it was poisonous, it is impossible that the old lady would be fine but the gentleman was poisoned."
Yun Shang nodded and fell into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head again and asked, "Does the Duke have the habit of drinking when he has a meal? It should be said that when he had a meal yesterday, did the Duke have the habit of drinking?
Drinking?”
The housekeeper thought for a while, then nodded affirmatively and said: "Drink, I drank a lot, but the old lady never likes me to drink, so I didn't drink much, less than half a bottle."
"Where is the remaining half jug of wine? Bring it and let me take a look?" Yun Shang whispered to the butler, and the butler quickly responded. After thinking about it, he said to Yun Shang and the others, and then hurriedly got off the ground.
Went downstairs to get some drinks.
Luo Qingyan's eyes fell on the person on the bed, paused for a moment, then turned to look at Yun Shang, and asked softly: "But it's a little tricky?"
Yun Shang was silent for a moment and nodded, "The symptoms of this poison are a bit special. I saw many braziers burning in the house, but Hua Guogong's whole body was almost cold, and there was even frost on his eyebrows and eyelashes, but
The area behind the ear burned horribly. I have never seen such poison." After a pause, he turned around and ordered the man behind him, "My lord, you send a secret guard to find a Xia Guo who has good medical skills but is worth it.
A trusted doctor is here, I wonder if this poison is unique to the Xia Kingdom."
Since Yun Shang gave such instructions, Luo Qingyan did not dare to neglect and hurriedly sent a signal to the secret guard.
After a while, the housekeeper hurried upstairs, holding a white jade wine bottle in his hand. As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly handed the wine bottle to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang took the jug and looked at it carefully for a long time before frowning again, "This jug of wine is not poisonous."
There is no poison in the wine, so how did Duke Hua become poisoned? Yun Shang pondered for a long time before raising his head and looking at the housekeeper, "Everything was normal before Duke Hua went to bed yesterday?"
"Everything is normal." The butler responded, "After having dinner in the evening, the Duke went to the martial arts arena to practice martial arts for a while before returning to the house. After taking a bath, he read a book for a while and then rested."
While the housekeeper was talking, a maid on the side opened her mouth and seemed to hesitate to speak. Yun Shang could see it very clearly, so she turned her head and looked at the maid, "What do you want to say?"
The maid seemed to be startled by Yun Shang. She thought for a while and then said: "I suddenly remembered that there was something wrong with Mr. Guo last night. Mr. Guo is a martial arts practitioner, although he is over sixty years old.
, but he has always been in good health, and rarely lit a brazier in winter. But last night, the Duke went back to his room, took a bath, and read in the study. After reading for a while, he said it was a bit cold and asked the slave to bring a brazier. "
"Feeling cold?" Yun Shang repeated softly, and then asked: "Is there anything else wrong?"
Another maid quickly added: "If there is anything wrong, it is that the Duke went to bed earlier than usual yesterday. The Duke sleeps very regularly. He usually goes to bed around 3:30 p.m.
, but yesterday, around 4:00 p.m., the Duke took a rest."
Yun Shang nodded and asked again: "What did Mr. Hua do after having dinner last night? At what time?"
The two maids thought for a while before replying one by one: "The Duke of Guo had dinner at Youshi last night. After dinner, he accompanied the old lady around the courtyard, and then went to the martial arts field.
It was around the fourth quarter of You hour. I returned to the house at the beginning of Xu hour, took a bath, and then read in the room for a while, and then rested at the fourth quarter of Xu hour."
Yun Shang nodded lightly. Since the dinner was shared with the Duke's wife, and the Duke's wife was fine, and the only wine they didn't share together was not poisonous, I'm afraid the problem was not the dinner.
Then all the things that Duke Hua would do alone in the future, such as practicing martial arts, taking a bath, and reading, might all lead to him being infected with poison.
Yun Shang was about to go to the martial arts field to have a look, but the doctor Luo Qingyan invited had already been brought over. Yun Shang looked at the doctor, but was suddenly startled. She had seen this doctor before. He was from Sancun Alley in the city.
Yun Shang never thought that the young man in white clothes in that inconspicuous medicine shop was actually Luo Qingyan's man. (To be continued)
