Chapter 218 Xiao Weijing sets the bureau first, Shen Ning catches the cicada behind
Shen Ning instantly understood that tugging at the sleeve meant rejection, and poking at the waist meant asking her to comply.
Sample, no wonder you can sit still, it turns out the trick is here.
"Queen Mother." Shen Ning looked embarrassed, "I only know a little bit about medical skills. Isn't this unreasonable?"
Emperor, "..." Oh, she still knows how to be modest?
All the courtiers, "..." have brought the Queen Mother back to life, and they are still pretending!
Taiyuan was feeling uncomfortable, but his attitude was very upright, "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Please give me some advice from Princess Jin."
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Shen Ning.
Shen Ning was in a dilemma and seemed to have many worries.
The emperor had no choice but to say, "Does Princess Jin have concerns?"
"Even the imperial doctors couldn't diagnose it. I was afraid that it would be self-defeating and delay the treatment."
The emperor looked deep and said, "You have the courage to make a diagnosis. What's really going on? I will forgive you."
Shen Ning accepted the order, "I am willing to try my best."
There were five people poisoned, all of whom held important positions, including Lin Wanyue's father. No wonder the emperor was so anxious.
Shen Ning checked them one by one, frowning.
The Taiyuan Hospital was worried, "Princess Jin, have you seen any clues?"
"It's so strange." Shen Ning shook his head repeatedly, and then asked Mrs. Lin, "Does Mr. Lin have the habit of taking pills?"
Mrs. Lin was stunned, "No."
"Where's Wushisan?"
The court officials fasted and took five stones to eat. Mrs. Lin shook her head repeatedly, "No, absolutely not."
Shen Ning frowned and asked other poisoned family members, and got the same answer.
She couldn't help but murmur, "But, they do look like signs of poisoning from elixirs or five stone powder."
Regardless of the elixir or the five stone powder, they are all purified and refined from a variety of minerals.
The hospital was wondering, "Princess Jin suspects that these adults are suffering from mineral poisoning?"
Shen Ning nodded, "I once read a miscellaneous book, which mentioned mineral toxicity. If overdose is taken, it will lead to poisoning. The signs of several adults are indeed consistent."
Different elixirs, different formulas, there are more than a dozen minerals in Wushi Powder alone.
For a moment, the hospital couldn't guess what kind of mineral it was.
Seeing that he couldn't guess, Shen Ning could only guide, "Mr. Yang, I also noticed that several adults have a common problem, but I don't know if it is related to poisoning, so I dare not make any conclusions."
"What kind of symptom?"
"They all have weak stomachs and extremely high levels of moisture in their bodies. They probably like to eat cold drinks, or their bodies have been exposed to a damp and cold environment for a long time."
The hospital also noticed this, but didn't think about it in that regard.
Mrs. Lin nodded hurriedly after hearing this, "Yes, my husband is afraid of cold and loves cold drinks, especially cold drinks. The weather is hot now, and I can't sleep well without ice cubes to cool down."
I asked the family members of other poisoned people and they all also like cold drinks.
The Taiyuan Hospital suddenly became enlightened and asked other officials if they often drank cold drinks.
Many people said that without exception they all suffered from body cold and dampness, but why did they not suffer from poisoning after drinking the cold drinks at the birthday banquet?
Taiyuan Zheng was thinking sharply, "Where does your ice come from?"
Some people stock their own ice cellars, and some people buy it from outside, but without exception, the poisoned people recently bought it from Crescent Ice Store.
Some officials dare not say that the ice cubes were sent by others.
When Xiao Junjun heard about Xinyue Bingpu, his expression suddenly changed.
Shen Ning sneered in her heart, it's too late!
After comparison and investigation, Taiyuan Hospital was absolutely certain that there was something wrong with the ice cubes.
When the eunuch of the Purchasing Department heard about Xinyue Ice Shop, his legs went weak and he almost fainted.
The royal palace has a strict procurement system. Suppliers need to be checked at all levels and become royal merchants before they can officially purchase.
The weather was unusual this year, and the palace's stockpile of ice was not enough. The Queen Mother's birthday party required a large amount of ice, so they had to temporarily purchase it from outside.
Xinyue Ice Shop learned the news and secretly managed the purchasing department.
After learning about the people behind Xinyue Ice Shop, the Procurement Department took a lot of benefits from it and made a special temporary purchase, waiting for the birthday banquet before officially adopting it.
They never dreamed that there would be problems with the ice cubes.
If there is any problem, you can find out by checking.
There was no clue as to how the bayberry ice dew was made. I learned that the ice used in the ice test in the palace also came from Xinyue Ice Shop, and the Taiyuan Hospital was requesting that the ice test be opened.
The temperature near the palace gate was so high that the ice had completely melted, leaving only a layer of something resembling hoarfrost covering the bottom of the large bronze ice mirror.
How could something like this appear in an ice cube?
The hospital official looked serious and asked the eunuchs to pour out the water and scrape off the white substance.
Under sunlight, the white powder crystallizes quickly.
Saltpeter is the mineral used to refine elixirs, but why is saltpeter added to the ice?
It is absolutely impossible for ice cubes collected in winter to contain saltpeter.
In other words, this is not purely natural ice, but artificially created.
The Imperial Hospital is getting a cup, pouring the saltpeter powder into it, and carefully adding water into it.
Not much was added and the cup became cold.
Like a magic trick, the water in the cup quickly condensed into ice cubes, and everyone's eyes almost fell out, "Here, this drop of water turned into ice."
Xiao Junjun in the crowd was stiff and his mind went blank - he had been plotted!
The source of the poison will be identified and a treatment plan will be given quickly.
After going through gastric lavage, water irrigation, acupuncture and medication, my life was saved, but in severe cases of poisoning, I almost lost half my life.
Shen Ning kindly reminded, "Mr. Li, look, Mr. Lin and Mr. Shi don't look right. They seem to be very slow to react."
Yes, if the poisonous dose of potassium nitrate is large, it is very likely to damage the nerves and cause irreversible damage.
When the emperor learned the truth, his veins bulged, and he said angrily: "How can it be unreasonable? How dare you waste human life to make dirty money and poison the imperial officials. Where is the Dali Temple?"
A group of officials from Dali Temple came out to lead the order and immediately sealed off the Crescent Ice Shop. The Procurement Department was detained and interrogated to investigate how the poisonous ice cubes flowed into the palace.
Xiao Junjun's head was buzzing. The ice cubes had been tested repeatedly before being sold. There would be no problem at all if people could eat them.
The saltpeter content in the elixir is heavier. Why can eating it prolong life?
There are unscrupulous people who want to harm him. This is basically a situation. Please put yourself in the trap!
If ordinary people were poisoned, he could still find a way to cover it up, but it happened to be at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet with five high-ranking officials in the court, and some of them were already his wings.
Father Huang Lei was furious and even dispatched Dali Temple to investigate the case. What should he do if he knew that the ice shop belonged to him?
Dali Temple is not a vegetarian. If you peel off all the layers, the consequences will be disastrous.
Xiao Junjun was so distraught that he escaped from Taiming Palace unprepared and ordered his personal guards to leave the palace first to take care of the matter.
When I came back in panic, I happened to see Xiao Weijing's indifferent expression, and suddenly I was enlightened.
It's him! Xia Bingliang was opened by King Jin, and he deliberately framed himself.
The thief shouted to catch the thief, but he set up a trap in front, while Shen Ning caught the cicada behind. What a ruthless plan!
