Xuanyuan Hao was stunned for a moment. Seeing Su Tong's serious face, he pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and then said to the crowd: "I will go in first to see my father!"
The queen nodded. The sobbing concubine next to her glanced at Xuanyuan Hao and wanted to say something, but she was still hesitating.
Xuanyuan Hao naturally ignored the expressions of the concubines and directly pulled Su Tong into the inner room.
The emperor lay quietly on the dragon bed, his face as pale as paper, but his lips were unusually bright red.
Several palace ladies stood quietly beside them, as motionless as statues, waiting for orders.
Su Tong wanted to get closer and take a look, but Xuanyuan Hao pulled her back: "What do you want to do?"
"Let's see what's wrong with him!" Su Tong broke away from his hand and waved to the two palace maids next to him, "You go out and call those imperial doctors in."
After saying that, she stepped forward directly, sat down by the emperor's bed, took the emperor's hand and felt for his pulse.
"Do you know medical skills?" Seeing Su Tong's actions, Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows with a look of disbelief.
Why haven't I heard her talk about it before?
"That's right." Su Tong smiled bitterly. She really didn't know how to explain to him the origin of her medical skills. She simply calmed down and judged the abnormal points of the pulse with peace of mind -
The pulse was very weak, which was indeed a sign of a critical illness, but the emperor's hands were incredibly hot, as if he was running a high fever! How could this be the temperature that a critically ill patient should have?
"Princess, you..." The imperial doctor came over at this time. When he saw Su Tong holding the emperor's hand, his face was full of surprise. He hesitated for a long time before he said a word, "Do you know medicine?"
"Don't talk about useless things. Let me ask you, has the emperor eaten anything?" Su Tong rolled her eyes... Does she look like someone who has nothing to do with medicine?
Raising her eyebrows, she simply did not dwell on the issue and directly brought up the topic. Because the emperor's face looked a bit like he was poisoned...
It’s still the kind of chronic poison!
"Back to the princess, I have checked all the food and water that the emperor used today, and there is nothing wrong with it." The imperial doctor paused and added, "Besides, before the emperor eats, the eunuchs from the royal kitchen also test it.
Eat, but the little eunuch has no problem at all today."
"Yes." Su Tong nodded, always feeling a little weird. He put down his hand and wanted to pull the emperor's clothes.
"Princess, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
Xuanyuan Hao and the imperial doctor said in unison. Xuanyuan Hao had a sullen look on his face, while the imperial doctor had a look of horror on his face.
Can the emperor's clothes be pulled off at will?
"Have you checked his body?" Su Tong raised her eyebrows, looked at their expressions of swallowing eggs, her face darkened, and she spoke coldly.
"This... no." The imperial doctor hesitated and shook his head, not daring to speak.
"That's not your job to check." Xuanyuan Hao said calmly, with a firm face that seemed cold, but in fact he was reminding her intentionally or unintentionally, "Princess, you are not able to bear the responsibility of pulling on my father's clothes..."
"
If she can find out where her father's illness is, that's okay; if she can't, if she is investigated, her reputation will be damaged, and even her purpose will be distorted by the villain!
Su Tong paused, and a layer of understanding suddenly came to her heart. She nodded gratefully towards Xuanyuan Hao, thankful that she was not too impulsive.
"Go and check to see if there are many little red spots on his back." Su Tong stood up and pushed away a few steps, motioning for the imperial doctor to go up and check, and added lightly, "You don't have to eat the poison."
The imperial doctor was stunned, then quickly stepped forward, supported the emperor's body and lifted up his clothes to take a look, and sure enough he found many small red dots on his back. The dense red dots made people feel sick.
The imperial doctor was stunned. He had never thought that there would be such a thing on the emperor's body, and he had never seen such a thing before. He turned around with a look asking for help: "Princess, what should I do now?"
Su Tong frowned, she guessed right!
This kind of poison should be soaked in silk thread, and then embroidered with poisonous silk thread into flowers, and made into underwear for the emperor. As soon as it is worn, the poison can penetrate into the skin.
It can be fatal without even knowing it.
"Use a knife to cut open the skin and let the blood flow out." Su Tong said, her tone obviously a little urgent, but she told the truth, "I can't tell what the specific poison is, but if we don't release some poisonous blood immediately,
,Father will not survive today!"
The imperial doctor was shocked and looked at Su Tong in disbelief, while Xuanyuan Hao quickly covered her mouth and growled in her ear as a warning: "Don't say such things casually!"
Talking about the emperor or hinting that the emperor is dead in the palace, regardless of whether it is true or not, is considered disrespectful and will result in beheading!
"Don't do it yet!" Su Tong waved away Xuanyuan Hao's big palm, shouted at the stunned eunuch, and then took the initiative to hold Xuanyuan Hao's hand, "Let's go, I don't want to help with the rest...
"
Xuanyuan Hao was stunned and couldn't help but wonder at her sudden change of mood: "That poison..."
"When the poisonous blood flows out, the imperial doctor will naturally be able to study it." Su Tong explained calmly and insisted on walking out of the room - she didn't want to help, because such poisoning methods made her think of a person... Who can do this?
So knowledgeable about the emperor's personal clothing?
This person is so close to the emperor. Even if she saves the emperor today, he will still be killed by her sooner or later!
Why should she do useless work and drain the royal family into this muddy water?
"Do you know who poisoned him?" Xuanyuan Hao's face darkened. Based on his understanding of Su Tong, he couldn't help but guess something.
"I..." Su Tong was about to speak, but was interrupted by a cold voice.
"Now that we know who is the murderer of the poison, the three emperor sisters can't leave!" Xuanyuan Jin walked in from the door slowly and stopped in front of them, with a determined look on his face.
