Zhao Yiyi was shocked and completely froze on the spot.
Kou Ji carefully examined Zhao Yiyi's eyes and found a small silver thread in his eyes.
Kou Ji opened his mouth and saw a line of tiny particles on his gums.
Mercury poisoning is confirmed.
His face was pale and there was a metallic taste in his mouth.
Lead poisoning is confirmed.
"The poisoning is not shallow..."
Kou Ji sighed in his heart.
Among the poisons contained in elixirs, lead and mercury are the easiest to check.
Zhao Yiyi's symptoms were so obvious, proving that the poisoning was serious.
For the rest of the poisons, Kou Ji knew that Zhao Yiyi must have them on his body without even checking them.
No wonder the future Emperor Renzong would have no descendants.
At a young age, he turned into a highly poisonous body. Can he survive?
"I have solved an eternal mystery..."
Kou Ji said to himself.
As for the fact that Song Renzong was childless throughout his life, later historians have different opinions, but there is no definite answer.
Now we finally have the answer.
The root lies in Zhao Heng.
If Zhao Heng hadn't taken pills with his son, such a tragic incident would not have happened.
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Yiyi again, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Zhao Heng, Kou Zhun and others had been paying attention to the changes in the expression on Kou Ji's face. When they saw the expression of pity on Kou Ji's face, they were suddenly shocked.
"Can it... be cured?"
Zhao Heng, the ninth-five-year-old man, put aside all his majesty at this moment, and asked this sentence in an almost pleading voice.
Kou Ji withdrew his gaze from Zhao Yiyi, cupped his hands to Zhao Heng and said, "Go back to the official house and be able to cure him!"
Zhao Heng clenched his fists and said in a trembling voice: "You didn't lie to me?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and said quietly: "It is a capital crime to deceive the emperor..."
Zhao Heng was stunned when he heard this.
Kou Zhun and others were also stunned.
After a long time, Zhao Heng said excitedly: "I have forgotten about this problem... As long as it can be cured, it will be great..."
Kou Zhun and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Heng muttered excitedly for a long time, and then asked quickly: "After it is cured, will it hinder the heirs?"
Kou Zhun and others just breathed a sigh of relief and picked it up again.
Kou Ji said with a bright smile: "No!"
"That's good, that's good..."
Zhao Heng talked excitedly for a long time.
Suddenly, he looked at Kou Zhun and Li Di and said: "Two beloved ministers, please help me draw up a decree. From now on, I will reinstate the position of Prince's Attendant to the seventh rank."
When Kou Zhun and others heard this, they looked at Kou Ji almost at the same time.
Zhao Heng also looked at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji was a little stunned.
Then Zhao Heng said solemnly: "Kou Ji, a scholar from Huazhou, accepted the order."
Kou Ji quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Kou Ji, a scholar from Huazhou, accepted the order..."
Zhao Hengdao said: "From now on, Kou Ji, a scholar from Huazhou, will be recruited to serve as the official of the East Palace and the prince's attendant. He will be in the seventh rank. He will be given a waist card and can enter and leave the palace freely."
This is...
Becoming an official?!
Kou Ji was in a daze.
Although he knew that it was only a matter of time before he became an official, he never expected that it would happen so soon.
He was caught off guard and was not prepared at all.
"Ahem..."
Kou Zhun coughed twice, as if to remind Kou Ji.
Kou Ji slowly came back to his senses, kowtowed and said: "Huazhou... Your Majesty, Kou Ji, kowtows to thank the Emperor for his kindness."
Zhao Heng nodded and said solemnly: "Xiao Kou Aiqing, you will take care of the prince from now on. As long as you can cure the prince, I will not be stingy with the reward."
"Thank you, officials!"
Kou Ji saluted again.
No one present objected to Kou Ji being recruited as an official in the East Palace and as the Prince's Attendant.
They all understood Zhao Heng's intention of recruiting Kou Ji to serve as the prince's attendant.
Zhao Heng did this so that Kou Ji could benefit from Zhao's treatment.
"No need to be too polite, just keep your body straight..."
Zhao Heng waved his hand.
Kou Ji stood up slowly. He probably understood Zhao Heng's intention of recruiting him as an official in the East Palace.
Just as Kou Ji stood up, Liu E led a group of eunuchs, who entered the Zishi Hall holding wooden boxes one by one.
Seeing this, Zhao Heng said to Kou Ji: "Take the prince to wait outside the palace first."
Kou Ji held up his hand and said, "Here..."
Kou Ji walked up to Zhao Yiyi, took his hand, and walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, Zhao Heng was stunned and nodded with satisfaction.
When Liu E saw this, she was also stunned, and then her eyes looked at Kou Ji with a softer look.
After Kou Ji left Zi Shi Tang with Zhao Yiyi.
Zhao Heng's smiling face slowly faded away, replaced by a cold expression.
"Is everything ready?"
Liu E nodded and pointed to the eunuch following behind.
"I have prepared a copy of the materials used to refine the elixir."
Zhao Heng nodded coldly and glanced at the eunuchs without any trace.
"Let them all eat it."
Liu E just glared coldly at the eunuchs who came with her.
The eunuchs immediately opened the boxes in their arms, grabbed whatever was inside, and stuffed it into their mouths.
Kou Ji's suggestion was to find a group of prisoners to test the poison.
But the impatient Zhao Heng and Liu E were not willing to wait any longer.
It takes half an hour to get from the prison of the Ministry of Justice to the palace.
They were not willing to wait even for a stick of incense, let alone half an hour.
Kou Ji knew what Liu E was thinking when he saw Liu E leading a group of eunuchs into the palace.
So when Zhao Heng asked him to take Zhao Yiyi away, he didn't hesitate at all.
Kou Ji has seen dead people.
But he had never seen a group of real people committing suicide by taking poison collectively.
He didn't want to think about it, nor did he want to see it.
Although he had just been granted an official title, he had also been promised important responsibilities.
But he didn't forget about it. He knew how much he weighed.
He also knew that he could not stop what Liu E and Zhao Heng had decided.
Inside the Zishi Hall.
One of the eunuchs finished eating the contents of his box.
Zhao Heng and others looked at him without blinking.
After just half a stick of incense, the eunuch began to stagger and became unsteady.
Then, his throat constricted and he spit out a mouthful of filth.
Then he fell to the ground and vomited wildly.
Other eunuchs also began to show various symptoms.
Someone couldn't control it and leaked in his crotch.
Someone foamed at the mouth and fainted.
Someone got hysterical and banged his head against a pillar.
Someone died on the spot.
There are also people who have nothing to do...
When Kou Zhun and others saw this scene, they gasped frequently.
Liu Efeng's eyebrows were raised and her eyes were wide open, with a look of horror and disbelief on her face.
Zhao Heng was trembling all over.
Zhao Heng and Liu E really hope that a miracle can happen.
They very much hoped that these eunuchs could use evidence to prove that Kou Ji's words were lies.
But the cruelty of reality was beyond their expectations.
They were already prepared to accept the bad news, but when the bad news was confirmed, they still couldn't accept it.
Liu E almost shouted something in a roaring voice.
"I want to destroy all nine of their tribes!"
Zhao Heng clenched his fists, trembling all over, gritting his teeth, trying hard to control his anger.
Kou Zhun closed his eyes in pain, with a sad look on his face.
Li Di and others looked at the three of them sadly.
The three of them should be the ones most affected by erysipelas.
