Li Chengzhi pointed to the two medicine cups and explained: "I'd like to ask the temple minister: if the noble one asks, you can call these two medicines for analgesics and calming the nerves... Please also ask the temple minister not to mention me, just call them..."
Matched by the lieutenant and your commander..."
Not mentioning Li Chengzhi, Liu Teng can understand. But why not mention the efficacy of medicine?
Liu Teng asked: "Why?"
Li Chengzhi showed a meaningful smile: "After you know that this medicine has the effect of inducing vomiting, what should you do if you don't eat it?"
Before Liu Teng could do anything, Wang Xian and Xu Jian all froze.
No wonder Hu Chonghua was not poisoned, but Li Chengzhi asked them to prepare vomiting medicine?
"The noble man claimed that he was poisoned, and the medicine to induce vomiting was the most suitable for the disease, so how could he not take it?"
Just as he was asking, Liu Teng was startled when he saw that Wang Xian and Xu Jian both looked strange.
Could it be that Li Chengzhi is saying: Hu Chonghua doesn’t want to treat him at all?
It’s really possible!
Otherwise, why was it that everyone was fine before, but as soon as she got sick, Mrs. Hu went crazy, and the imperial doctor was not allowed to come even three feet in front of her?
If this is really the case, what exactly does she want to do?
Framing the Queen?
I’m so frustrated and crazy that I can’t even wait for these few months?
Raise your baby well, and when the prince is born, it will be yours, and His Majesty will naturally need you. Why do you need to be such a monster and torment the grandfathers?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Liu Teng couldn't help but have a hint of anger in his words: "Don't worry, I will save you!"
After saying that, he called several yellow gates, each carrying a medicine cup and a copper basin, and entered the inner hall.
After looking around and seeing no one around, Wang Xiancai took a few steps over and asked suspiciously: "Li Houlang thinks that the noble man has swallowed a foreign object by mistake?"
How could it be swallowed by mistake?
Ninety-nine percent of the time it was swallowed on purpose.
Li Chengzhi laughed softly: "I'm just guessing!"
How could it be a guess? You are clearly certain.
Otherwise, why would it cause a slippery throat and induce vomiting?
Xu Jian was horrified and said: "Not to mention hurting the stomach, it's just hurting the throat. If it can reach the point of coughing up blood, it will definitely not be a minor injury. And how big and beneficial should the swallowed thing be? And this
How could there be so many palace servants and chamberlains letting a nobleman eat this by mistake?"
The old doctor just asked: Could it be that Mr. Hu swallowed iron objects such as nails?
How could it be iron?
The queen was lucky enough to survive only a few days, and it was Hu Xianzhen's handiwork. How could this woman not know the lessons from the past?
Wang Xian was not as reserved as Xu Jian, and said impatiently: "Just tell me what it is?"
Li Chengzhi did not respond, but handed over the note from Qingquan Palace.
The two of them only glanced at each other, but their expressions changed simultaneously.
It’s actually... a fish bone?
……
Liu Teng walked to the bed with two silver cups. Although Hu Chonghua was not huddled in the corner of the bed as before, his face was still wary.
The emperor's face was dark: "This is Liu Teng, don't you recognize it?"
It’s true that the emperor doesn’t like it.
As the minister of Changqiu Temple, Liu Teng was in charge of all the prisons in the palace: food, medicine, clothing, administration, etc. If he wanted to harm her, even a hundred lives of Hu Chonghua would not be enough...
Liu Teng sighed secretly: Li Chengzhi really guessed right?
Mrs. Hu is not guarding against me, she clearly doesn’t want to take medicine, let alone treatment...
Guessing in his mind, Liu Teng took a step forward and replied proactively: "My lord, please don't panic. This medicine is used to analgesic and stop bleeding, and to soothe the mind and calm the soul. They are both prepared by Dr. Xu. The lower official has also tried the poison. Please feel free to take it."
..."
Hu Xianzhen doesn’t want to eat ten thousand.
I originally wanted to rely on Li Chengzhi, but Liu Teng made it clear that the medicine had not passed through Li Chengzhi's hands, but this blocked the last excuse.
Hu's mouth was filled with bitterness, and she asked in surprise: "Is it really an analgesic and tranquilizing medicine? Will someone fall asleep as soon as she takes it in?"
"Your Majesty, please be patient, you will never..."
Liu Teng still responded, but the emperor suddenly became angry: "Then what do you think it is, poison? Madam Hu, do you want me to taste the poison for you personally?"
Hu Chonghua panicked: "I don't dare!"
"Then eat!"
The emperor snorted coldly and scolded Liu Teng, "What about those three? Why didn't any of them come in? Have you agreed on how to use the medicine and how to diagnose and treat it in the future? Didn't you come to inform me?"
"Your Majesty, calm down. Lieutenant Wang and others are waiting in the outer hall. They seem to be making dialectical prescriptions. They will present them to Your Majesty in a moment..."
The two have been master and servant for nearly ten years, and Liu Teng has been serving him every day. Looking at his eyelids drooping slightly, the emperor knew that this was a hint to him, and asked Hu Yunhua to take the medicine first.
Those three would only behave like this if they came in and would startle the Hu family. Yuan Ke was not suspicious and scolded Hu Chonghua again: "Use it if you want to!"
Hu Chonghua picked up the silver cup like he was flying. He saw that half of it was filled with something that seemed to be as thick as paste, but yet translucent. It also had a fishy and sour smell.
But any medicine must taste bitter, so Hu Xianzhen did not doubt it.
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
Liu Teng guided her according to Professor Li Chengzhi's method: "This medicine relieves pain, but it is not swallowed, but needs to be held in the mouth and slowly swallowed..."
In fact, it is duck saliva. This thing is unique in turning foreign objects into the esophagus, unless it is an iron thorn. In ancient times, it was often used by charlatans as a magical technique to defraud people of money...
The emperor was watching from the side. How dare Mrs. Hu dare to commit adultery? She just endured the stench and took a mouthful of it.
It took nearly half a moment before he swallowed one mouthful. At that last swallow, Mr. Hu's expression suddenly changed: There was no pain in his throat anymore?
Not only does it not hurt, but the strong scratching sensation before is no longer noticeable?
This pain-relieving medicine is so miraculous and can produce immediate results?
Just as he was surprised and suspicious, Liu Teng handed over the other half of the medicinal soup: "This medicine calms the nerves and has been warmed. You can swallow it in big gulps..."
Compared with the half cup before, the smell of this bowl is much better. Yuan Ke has been taking the medicine for many years, and with a slight sniff, he smelled that it must have used several detoxifying substances such as licorice.
Aren’t those three names all called Hu’s and he was not poisoned?
While the emperor was in shock and doubt, he suddenly saw Mrs. Hu stretching her neck, as if she was about to vomit.
After being told repeatedly by Li Chengzhi, Liu Teng was already prepared. With a quick wave of his hand, Huangmen held a copper basin and received it under Hu Chonghua's jaw.
There was only a sound of "uh", and there was another spluttering sound. Hu Chonghua vomited out any leftover food in his stomach.
The emperor's face changed with shock, and he asked sharply: "Why is this?"
Li Chengzhi was in the outer hall. When he heard the noise, how could he not know that he had achieved success?
He took a deep breath and responded in a deep voice: "Your Majesty was alarmed because I doubted whether your noble lord really ate something poisonous, so I asked the lieutenant and your Majesty to prepare a medicine to induce vomiting..."
While talking, Li Chengzhi also entered the palace. Wang Xian and Xu Jian followed him.
Like a big goose, Hu Yunhua stretched his neck and said "uh uh uh". But he must have vomited all his mouth, and his mouth was just drooling.
When he saw Li Chengzhi and heard the words "something that induces vomiting", Hu Chonghua's expression changed with horror. He pointed at Li Chengzhi and said, "How dare you... uh... poison me?"
As he shouted fiercely, Hu Chonghua stood up like a flying figure, but seemed to be unsteady on his feet. He put his hands on the edge of the copper basin in the eunuch's hand. Hearing a "dong" sound, the copper basin was turned upside down and splashed.
All over the place.
Still not giving up, Hu Chonghua actually jumped off the bed, as if he wanted to step on the dirt with his bare feet.
Isn’t this an attempt to destroy the body and eliminate traces?
It was just a guess before, but now it is 90% certain, and Li Chengzhi is determined.
He smiled coldly and reminded in a leisurely voice: "My dear, be careful... What should I do if my foot slips and falls to the ground and I accidentally have a miscarriage?"
Hu Chonghua seemed frozen, and the foot he stepped on stopped abruptly in mid-air.
Li Chengzhi is so kind?
After a moment of hesitation, the emperor shouted sharply: "Press me to the couch..."
Liu Teng immediately stopped forward and reminded lightly: "My lord, please stand still..."
Where can I step on?
Even if you step on it, it will be in vain...
After stepping back, Hu Chonghua sat beside the couch, beating a drum in his heart, constantly comforting himself: He probably just suspected that he had been poisoned, so he induced vomiting...
How can things that have been half digested by gastric juice smell good?
Yuan Ke covered his nose in disgust and scolded in a cold voice: "Liu Teng, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you call someone to clean it up as soon as possible?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Teng didn't move and just looked at Li Chengzhi. What does this mean?
Li Chengzhi didn't move, he just arched his head towards Wang Xian and Xu Jian, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, you two!"
Wang Xian was furious: Are you addicted to commanding?
Why don’t you do this dirty work yourself?
Knowing that Wang Xian was annoyed with him, Li Chengzhi sighed sadly: "I want to take some time off as a lower official..."
Wang Xian was shocked: Right?
Li Chengzhi is the prospective son-in-law of the Gao family, and I am also a close friend of Gao Zhao. No matter who goes, there is a possibility that Hu Chonghua will accuse her of being "instructed by the queen to frame her..."...
Wang Xian bowed to Xu Jian solemnly again: "Thank you Master Xu..."
A pair of bastards who don't respect their elders...
Staring at the two of them fiercely, Xu Jian squatted helplessly in front of the puddle of filth, holding a palm-sized silver plate in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other to pull it out.
Yuan Ke was a little confused and asked suspiciously: "Hu is really poisoned?"
Li Chengzhi smiled and stared at Hu Chonghua: "Your Majesty, you will know later!"
At this point, Hu Chonghua still didn't know that his treacherous plan was about to be discovered, and his face turned pale and bloodless.
Li Chengzhi, you again?
She gritted her teeth tightly, hating and fearing in her heart: For now, she had to grit her teeth and insist that someone was plotting to kill her...
As he was thinking, Hu Chonghua's eyes became sharp unconsciously. If eyes could kill, Li Chengzhi would have died a hundred and eighty times.
Even if an arrow is shot at him, grandpa will never blink his eyelids, let alone just being glared at by you?
The two people only looked at each other for an instant, but the emperor was nearby and his eyes were always on Hu Chonghua. How could he not see the cruel look in Hu's eyes?
Li Chengzhi is saving you, why do you still hate him?
Do you really think he can poison you?
What a joke...
Just as he was about to ask, Xu Jian stood up, slapping his old waist, and handed the silver plate to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
There were several things on the plate, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be fish bones, and there were several of them.
Wang Xian's expression changed, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Jian, and found that the old doctor Ling also had a look of fear on his face.
There are seven or eight large and small ones, but the longest one is about an inch?
If according to Li Chengzhi's conclusion, Hu Chonghua swallowed it deliberately, how painful must she have been at that time?
This woman is so cruel...
No, is this a question of ruthlessness or not?
If the Hu family continues to torture like this, the two of them will be beheaded by the emperor sooner or later...
Just a few feet away, Hu Chonghua saw it. His face immediately changed, and he screamed: "Sting? Your Majesty, someone wants to harm me..."
How similar is the scene in front of me to when the poisonous needle was taken out of the queen's chest?
The emperor's pupils shrank sharply: "Is someone really poisoning?"
Xu Jian said respectfully: "It must have not been soaked in poison, otherwise the blood streaks in your vomit would not be so bright red..."
Yuan Ke breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Li Chengzhi again: "What would have been the result if we hadn't noticed it?"
"It all depends on luck!" Li Chengzhi replied, "If you are lucky, your throat may be swollen for two days, your throat may be hoarse for two days, and you may not be able to eat or drink soup for two or three days... But it only lasts for two or three days.
When the flesh and blood turn into pus, the wound will naturally swell and the fish bones will fall off..."
"What if I'm unlucky?"
"Just like Her Royal Highness the Queen..."
It means that if you can't find it, you can only wait to die...
The emperor was shocked.
The queen last time was carefully designed by Hu Chonghua, but what about this time?
Qingquan Palace has been renovated from top to bottom, but assassins can still sneak in, so how can this palace be safe?
Yuan Ke's expression suddenly changed: "Liu Teng, what crime do you deserve?"
"I am wronged!"
While shouting, Liu Teng knelt down with a "pop" and winked at Li Chengzhi vigorously.
The dead eunuch is so cowardly that he doesn’t even dare to defend himself?
Cursing in his mind, Li Chengzhi took something out of his sleeve and handed over the note from Qingquan Palace.
On the twenty-fourth day, the noble man ate half a bowl of fish soup and one steamed fish...
Yuan Ke felt relieved, turned to look at Hu Chonghua, and asked suspiciously: "Swallowed by mistake?"
How could Hu Chonghua recognize it? He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, this is clearly someone plotting to kill my concubine..."
It’s really your own fault and you won’t be able to live!
With a hint of sarcasm, Li Chengzhi pointed to the silver plate and echoed with a smile: "What the noble man said is true: if it was swallowed by mistake, it would have been three days ago, that is, the day when the fish was eaten on the 24th. But if the thorn has pierced the flesh and blood,
In three days, it must have been soaked in blood, and it would not be as white as jade as it is now!
Moreover, if the thorn had penetrated the flesh for three days, there would have been suppuration in the throat, and the noble man would have been unable to eat and speak, instead of being as energetic and radiant as he is now... Therefore, the thorn must have been this afternoon.
Swallowed into the throat during meals.
Furthermore, there are so many thorns and they are so long. Even if a fool is pricked once, he should be shocked the second time. To what extent does a fool have to be demented to accidentally swallow so many in succession? Of course, it is also possible
It was someone who forced him down after the noble man slept to death..."
The words are so straightforward that unless you are a fool, you will not be able to hear: Hu Chonghua deliberately swallowed these thorns himself...
Liu Teng was secretly happy and had to hand over Li Chengzhi's hand to express his gratitude. Even Wang Xian and Xu Jian couldn't help but express their hatred: Your Majesty should also know how cruel the Hu family is. He just wanted to murder the queen, but he was so cruel that he used himself.
To attack the fetus in the belly and frame it?
As an imperial physician, encountering such a patient would be a disaster for eight lifetimes!
Wang Xian and Xu Jian have already secretly made up their minds: next time when Hu Chonghua is ill, they will definitely push it aside if they can...
