Kou Zhun and others stood there with miserable faces and no intention of speaking.
It naturally fell on Kou Ji to explain that the elixir was poisonous.
Kou Ji straightened up slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Empress, it has been confirmed that the elixir is poisonous..."
Just as Liu E was about to roar, Zhao Heng, who had been sitting silently, suddenly stopped her.
Zhao Heng looked at Kou Ji and said quietly: "Kou Ji, do you know what the crime of bullying the emperor is?"
"capital offense!"
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said.
Zhao Heng's voice was much higher, and he shouted: "Then do you dare to use a human head as a guarantee?"
Kou Ji deliberately flinched, but the eyes of Kou Zhun and others scratched his body like knives, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Dare!"
"good!"
Zhao Heng sighed in admiration with a cold face, and gritted his teeth and said: "Then tell me, if the elixir is really poisonous, why haven't I died of poisoning after taking it for many years?"
There was a hint of murderous intent in Zhao Heng's tone.
Kou Ji was sure that if he couldn't give Zhao Heng a satisfactory answer, Zhao Heng would definitely do something dirty to him.
Kou Ji cupped his hands and said: "Although the elixir is poisonous, it will not be fatal immediately. It will hide in the human body for a long time and wreak havoc. As the poison increases, various signs of poisoning will appear."
Without waiting for Zhao Heng to ask further questions.
Kou Ji immediately added: "In mild cases, dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, in severe cases... the heirs will be difficult to produce!"
"Plop!"
Liu E slumped down on the chair with a pale face.
Zhao Heng stared, trembling all over.
All the symptoms were correct.
There's no reason why the two of them don't believe it...
a long time.
Zhao Heng's face was flushed, his chest was rising and falling rapidly, and veins appeared on his face.
"Hmm~"
A mouthful of blood rushed into Zhao Heng's mouth.
Drops of blood slid down the corners of his mouth.
Zhao Heng gritted his teeth tightly and did not let the blood spurt out.
"Official!"
"Official!"
"..."
Kou Zhun, Liu E and others saw this and their expressions changed greatly, and they quickly rushed towards Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng raised his hand to stop them.
Then, in full view of everyone, he swallowed the blood in his mouth.
Kou Zhun, Liu E and others were shocked when they saw this.
Kou Ji's pupils shrank slightly, and he was secretly surprised.
So cruel to myself...
Zhao Heng trembled and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He stared straight at Kou Ji and said in a slightly trembling voice: "There are dozens of imperial doctors in my palace, and none of them said that the elixir is poisonous. How did you find out that the elixir is poisonous? Is it possible that your medical skills are better than those I raised?
Is the imperial doctor still smart?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Heng, and sighed in his heart.
Zhao Heng is struggling to his death...
Kou Ji did not answer Zhao Heng's words, but looked at Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun sighed, cupped his hands and said: "Guan family, those imperial doctors lied to you. All the imperial doctors who have connections with the palace know that the elixir is poisonous, but no one is willing to tell the truth.
I still heard some truth from some charlatans."
When Zhao Heng heard this, his eyes were a little dazed, but his teeth made a clicking sound.
"It's very good... it's very good..."
Zhao Heng murmured to himself for a long time and looked at Kou Zhun, "How did you verify that the elixir is poisonous? I don't believe it. Just based on a few words from a charlatan, you will believe it."
Kou Zhun whispered to Zhao Heng about using mice to test the poison of the elixir.
After Zhao Heng finished listening, his eyes wandered around Kou Zhun and others.
"No wonder you, the important ministers of the imperial court, would ignore the affairs of the court and raise rats..."
Zhao Heng murmured to himself, his eyes falling on Kou Ji again, "You actually know how to refine elixirs?"
Kou Ji opened his mouth and was about to speak when Zhao Heng said again: "Since you can refine the elixir, you must be very familiar with the toxicity of the elixir. I can't wait seven days, I want to verify the poison of the elixir faster!"
Best of all, the results will be available today!”
Zhao Heng's words were light and airy, but they were full of an undeniable flavor.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said: "Cinnabar, lead and other items are needed to refine the elixir. These things are all toxic. The imperial doctors are unwilling to tell, but their medicine boys may not be willing to tell.
The officials only need to arrest a few drug boys and question them about the toxicity of cinnabar and other substances."
Zhao Heng held the armrests of the dragon chair and said word by word: "I can't trust others now. I only trust my own eyes."
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and whispered: "Find a few prisoners and feed them cinnabar and other things..."
Before Kou Ji finished speaking, Zhao Heng turned around and told Liu E, "Go and do it yourself."
Liu E had a gloomy face and nodded heavily.
Liu E got up and left Zishi Hall.
Zhao Heng suddenly laughed, his smile a little scary.
He looked at Kou Ji and said, "Boy, is there any way to cure this poison?"
Kou Ji asked cautiously: "Do officials want to listen to the truth?"
Zhao Heng nodded slowly.
"nature……"
Kou Zhun also spoke at this time: "Just tell the truth to the officials. This matter is so big that there is no room for lies."
Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Heng and said in a deep voice: "The official has been taking elixirs for many years, and the poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. No medicine or food can cure it... A small amount of food may be able to alleviate the official's illness, but it cannot cure it.
"
Zhao Heng shook his head, "I know my body and bones... I have suffered the sins I have done myself. But my prince is still young, so we cannot harm him because of the sins I have done."
When Li Di heard Zhao Heng's words, he felt the same and his eyes turned red.
He shouted at Kou Ji and said, "Please tell me if the prince's poison can be cured. If you continue to squeeze out bit by bit, believe it or not, I will order someone to drive you out and serve you with sticks?!"
Kou Ji didn't have a good look on Li Di. He rolled his eyes and curled his lips and said, "If you don't let me see the prince, how can I know whether he is deeply poisoned or not, and whether it can be cured?"
"Shuzi!"
Li Di scolded angrily.
Zhao Heng, however, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly ordered Zhou Huaizheng.
"Go and bring the prince here quickly!"
Zhao Heng cares more about his son than himself...
Zhou Huaizheng hurriedly rolled out of Zishi Hall.
A few moments later, he brought the crown prince Zhao Yiyi to Zishi Hall.
Zhao Yiyi entered the Zishi Hall and politely bowed to Zhao Heng, Kou Zhun and others.
However, Zhao Heng and others ignored etiquette and urged Kou Ji, "Hurry and show the prince..."
Kou Ji nodded and walked to Zhao Yiyi.
Meeting the future Emperor Renzong for the first time, Kou Ji naturally had to take a good look at him.
The little guy is not tall, only reaching Kou Ji's waist.
Walking, sitting and lying down.
Do everything in a proper manner.
He was obviously full of curiosity about Kou Ji, but he didn't dare to look at Kou Ji recklessly.
"Hey... He is such a good child, but he has to be restrained like a piece of wood... No wonder he restrained himself so tightly after he ascended the throne. It turned out that he was taught like this when he was a child..."
Kou Ji sighed inwardly and carefully looked at Zhao Yiyi's face.
After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and opened his eyelids again.
Zhao Yiyi stood motionless as if under a immobilizing spell.
Koji felt that he was a little panicked.
I was so frightened that my calves were trembling, but my upper body was as stiff as a block of wood.
