Chapter 142 Tatars who do not play cards according to common sense
Don't blame the two men for being startled, Li Qing's state at the moment is really too scary.
It was obvious that he was deeply poisoned and was about to die. How could the two of them imagine that he could still speak.
This guy's fate is so damn tough... Zhu Yuanzhang looked amazed.
"Five qian for realgar, two qian for croton, ten qian for musk, and three bowls of water to make one bowl."
After Li Qing finished speaking, he fell silent again, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said to the imperial doctor, "Go and get it quickly."
"The humble minister obeys the decree."
The imperial doctors all handed over their hands, quickly opened the large medicine box they brought, filled the medicine according to the prescription, then rushed into the east kitchen and started to boil the medicine.
"Li Qing, how do you feel now?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with concern, "Can you still hold on?"
Li Qing: "..."
When he said those words just now, his heart that he had been holding on to so hard was flawless. The poison had already spread a little, and he still dared to speak again.
However, he was really speechless. There were not many types of poisons in this era, and there were even fewer poisons to be quenched on arrows.
Usually there are more than ten kinds of snake venom, centipede venom, bee venom, etc.
In his opinion, the imperial doctor only needed to see and hear clearly, or even take some blood tests to test for poison, and then prescribe the right medicine.
Unexpectedly, after struggling to support himself, the imperial doctor came and sentenced him to death, and he died immediately.
Little did he know that imperial doctors always seek no merit when treating patients, but seek no faults.
The first thing to do is to sentence him to death. If the emperor insists on his treatment, it is not their fault if he is put to death. They have already said that he cannot be cured anyway.
Besides, Li Qing's appearance was indeed scary, and they really didn't want to cure him. Taking the pulse was just a show, and frowning and shaking his head were routine operations.
Only in this way does it make sense for Li Qing to die, and once he is cured, it will become even more obvious that they are of high quality.
This time, you are laughing at my poor medical skills, and I am laughing at you for not understanding the ways of the world.
The first consideration when treating diseases is not the patient's interests, but one's own interests.
In fact, at the beginning of Empress Ma's serious illness, if the imperial doctor had given her a few strong doses of medicine, she might have been cured, and her body would not have been dragged down like this just because of a small cold.
It is because they are too cautious and prescribe very mild medicines, which leads to repeated misunderstandings of the disease. In the end, it is too late to give strong medicines.
Most emperors in ancient times fell into this trap.
To be honest, if Queen Ma died, it would be unjust for them to be beheaded.
"Father, it's better not to disturb him." Zhu Biao advised softly, "Li Qing is a doctor himself. He may be using some method to resist toxins and needs to be quiet."
Look how sensible they are!
Although Li Qing closed his eyes, he remained conscious and silently gave Zhu Biao a thumbs up.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, walked aside, and said to Li Yu, "Hurry and investigate and find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible."
"Wei Chen obeys the order." Li Yu said yes, paused, and said softly, "Liu Qianhu is already investigating. Wei Chen is afraid that the other party will come back again, so... I want to guard here."
"Yeah... that's right." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then said displeasedly, "You guys are really good at it. My own master was almost killed by someone, and he didn't even give a shit."
Li Yu did not dare to refute and apologized repeatedly.
In fact, this is not their fault. In the fifteen years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been an assassination of a court official in the important place of the capital.
No one could have imagined that the other party would be so heartbroken.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Qing who was meditating again, and saw that his lips were black, his arms were black, and his face was haggard and bloodless.
But somehow, I always feel that Li Qing can't die.
Our intuition has always been very accurate. This kid is still alive... Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath and said, "Biao'er, let's go back. There are still a lot of government affairs that need to be dealt with."
Zhu Biao nodded lightly and said to Li Yu, "Stand guard here carefully. If there is any new situation, go to the palace and report it immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness."
…
Half an hour later, several imperial doctors came out with disheartened faces, holding medicines in their hands. The first one said to Li Yu:
"Sir, the officials and others strictly followed the prescriptions prescribed by the governor!"
"I know." Li Yu naturally understood the implication, and a look of disgust appeared on his face, "Follow the Master's prescription and prepare a few more doses of medicine. You can go back for now."
"Hey, okay."
Several people happily agreed, opened the medicine box, prepared a few more packets according to the dosage, and handed them to Li Yu, "My lord, please keep it. I will excuse you."
Li Yu placed the medicine bowl in front of Li Qing, walked to the door, and called softly, "Three girls, the emperor and others have left, you can come out!"
Wan Ling popped her head out and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the courtyard had become deserted.
They have never seen such figures as emperors and princes, and they are afraid that they will lose etiquette and cause trouble for their husbands.
Besides, they are just maids, not Li Qing's wives or concubines, let alone his mistress.
Then he simply entered the house and asked his husband's subordinates to receive him.
"Excuse me, sir." Wan Ling bowed.
"You're welcome, girl."
Li Yu handed over the medicine bag and said softly, "This is the medicine for adults to detoxify. Just boil one bowl with three bowls of water."
"Okay, little lady, I've taken note of that." Wan Ling asked tentatively, "Is it really my husband who was talking just now?"
"Yes." Li Yu nodded, "Your Excellency is still conscious. Girl, hurry up and give him medicine. I'll go and ask the brothers to surround the yard to prevent the bad guys from coming again."
It was already dark now, and it was extremely unlikely that the other party would dare to come in broad daylight, but he did not dare to slack off at all. If someone broke into the yard and committed murder again, he would not have to do it.
"Well, good, thank you, sir."
Wan Ling bowed slightly, walked to Li Qing, picked up the medicine, and called softly, "Sir, if you can hear what my servant is saying, please open your mouth."
After a while, Li Qing's lips opened slightly.
Seeing this, Wan Ling was a little relieved, picked up the spoon, blew it on her lips, and began to give Li Qing the medicine.

Household department, inner study room.
Guo Huan was anxious, fearing that something had happened, "Old Liu, if Li Qing cannot be killed this time, his house will be heavily guarded in the future, but there will be no chance!"
"Don't worry, sir. Just as a precaution, I specially asked someone to temper the poison on the arrows." Liu Huayin said sympathetically, "The highly venomous snakes intensify the venom of the centipede, and even a cow can be poisoned to death."
"That's good."
Guo Huan's face softened slightly, "This matter is definitely not over, but don't let anyone find out about you."
"The official has made all preparations." Liu Hua said with a smile: "Besides, all the people are dead, and they are not from the capital. Now there is no evidence that they are dead. It is impossible for the Jin Yiwei to find me. After all... I hate Li Qing so much.
many.
No matter how angry Jin Yiwei is, he can't arrest people with his eyes closed, right?"
"Oh? Hahaha..." Guo Huan was very happy and patted his shoulder, "Old Liu, I can rest assured about your work."
After a pause, "Master Shangshu has already taken care of it. I will go to the Ministry of Industry later, so don't be idle."
"I understand." Liu Hua nodded.
The two of them completely lost the panic of yesterday and smiled at each other, as if they were already holding the pearls of wisdom in their hands.
…
Noon, small courtyard.
Li Qing, who was meditating, suddenly coughed violently. Along with the cough, he woke up faintly.
"Sir, you're awake." Wan Ling cried with joy and said nervously, "You...are you feeling uncomfortable?
What do you need your servant to do?"
Li Qing's face was gray and tired, "The toxin has been stabilized for the time being. You go and make another dose of medicine."
"Okay, my maid will go right away."
Lianxiang, Hongxiu's face was filled with the joy of regaining something, "Sir, my servant will help you go into the house to rest."
"No need for now."
Li Qing took a breath and said, "Let Li Yu dispose of the bodies in the yard."
After saying that, he closed his eyes again.
In the evening, Li Qing woke up again. His face was still pale, but his lips were no longer black, and his arms had changed from purple-black to dark red.
Lianxiang moved a chair, Hongxiu stepped forward to help, and the two women helped him sit down, "Sir, what do you want to eat?"
"I won't eat tonight." Li Qing shook his head gently, "Go and call Li Yu from outside."
"Your servant will go right away." Hongxiu promised, ran out, and soon led Li Yu in.
"My lord, are you feeling better?"
"Well, it's nothing serious." Li Qing asked, "Have you got a clue?"
Li Yu shook his head in embarrassment, "Not yet, Liu Qianhu has already mapped out the appearance of these people, and the brothers are searching the city for clues."
After a pause, "The Emperor said that if the Lord wakes up, inform him as soon as possible."
Li Qing nodded, "Okay, go and tell the emperor."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Put the focus of the corruption case on the household department. They are in charge of money, and it is easier to embezzle money than other departments.
Also, I will continue to go to the Sixth Department to put pressure tomorrow morning."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

Qianqing Palace.
Queen Ma was lying on the couch with a pale face and her eyes closed. She had not woken up since she fell asleep in the morning...
