The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1335 Dove and Flower

Then Gu Chengyu exerted some internal force, and after a while, black venom did seep out of the silver needle.The queen mother saw her face with joy.

However, this situation only lasted for a while, and Gu Chengyu stopped.It was Gu Chengyu's first attempt to use internal force with such precision.

"How?" the Queen Mother asked happily.

Even Court Envoy Zhang looked at Gu Chengyu expectantly, but he clearly saw the effect just now, but why did Gu Chengyu stop suddenly?
"It's just pulling out a part of the new poison in the body, and the remaining part has been entangled with Rong Yin, and there is nothing I can do!" Gu Chengyu shook his head and pulled out the silver needle.

"Since you have a way to pull out a part, the rest will not trouble you!" The queen mother looked at Gu Chengyu with a strange look, she felt that Gu Chengyu was not telling the truth.

"I want to report to the Empress Dowager, I have tried my best, and the rest can't be done even with internal strength. Ruoyin has penetrated into the internal organs and merged with the emperor's flesh and blood, and I just pulled out the part that has not yet penetrated. There's only so much we can do."

Gu Chengyu took a step back and pulled out part of the remaining poison. It is certain that the emperor will wake up, but there will be a great loss in longevity.

"If you don't try it, how can you jump to conclusions? Since your internal strength is useful for detoxification, then please Gu Aiqing come here every day to give the emperor injections." The queen mother did not let go of a glimmer of hope, even if it was very slim.

"Although I have no confidence in this, since the empress dowager trusts me so much, I should try my best." Gu Chengyu thought for a while, that's fine, he came to feed the emperor's spiritual spring every day, and he was very grateful for the emperor's love. The body should be good.

"When will the emperor wake up?" The queen mother took a step forward, and saw that the emperor's complexion was much better than before, and the bruise on his face had receded a little.

"About two hours!" Gu Chengyu felt the emperor's pulse just now, and he should wake up soon.

"The emperor's body will be very weak in the past few days. He needs to rest and cannot stay in bed. In addition, the diet needs to be light, and the tonics should be suspended. Please ask the envoy Zhang to prescribe some warming and tonic prescriptions."

Gu Chengyu wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and watched as the Empress Dowager ordered someone to change the emperor into a clean tunic.Envoy Zhang took a look at Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu's medical skills should not be underestimated!

"Master Gu, do you know why the emperor was poisoned?" Court Envoy Zhang asked in a deep voice, remembering the cause of the emperor's poisoning.

"It's like a kind of poison of doves and flowers. I have seen this poison in a medical book. I don't know if the envoy of Zhang Yuan has heard of this poison?" Gu Chengyu thought about it, and the symptoms of poisoning were similar to him. The descriptions seen in Beno's history are very similar, but he can't be sure.

There are tens of thousands of poisons in this world. He is not a person who studies medicine, so of course he cannot know all of them.

"When you put it that way, the lower official thinks it really looks like it. This poisonous lower official has seen it in a medical book, but the description is not exhaustive, only a few sentences." The envoy Zhang stroked his beard with a pensive look on his face. .

"Is there no solution to this poison?" Seeing that the two people already knew what the poison was, the Queen Mother anxiously asked each other.

Envoy Zhang set his sights on Gu Chengyu, who really knew little about the poison.

"Returning to the Empress Dowager, to be precise, doves and flowers are not a kind of poison. This flower is rare in our Dayan, and generally only grows in Daxing. The color of doves and flowers is bright and fragrant, and they will also be taken by the nobles of Daxing Vase. But this flower is not common in Daxing, because it is very delicate and difficult to cultivate. Its flowers are not poisonous, but its rhizome is slightly poisonous. And if this rhizome is used alone, it is not a big problem, as long as After an hour, my whole body will be numb, and then I can't move for a few hours."

"However, if it is put together with lily incense, it will produce severe toxicity. The emperor should have taken the rhizomes of doves and flowers, which should be checked from the emperor's food. And the incense in this temple is now dragon Salixiang, did you have a little styrax before?"

Gu Chengyu walked around the hall, the ambergris in this hall is not too strong, it should have been lighted not long ago.

"In addition, the rhizomes of dove and flowers are very similar to yam, no matter in appearance or after being cooked. If it is used as yam and mixed in the emperor's meal, it is difficult to distinguish. It is even more difficult to distinguish by taste. It is out. And this kind of mild paralyzing poison cannot be tested with silver needles, even if someone tries the poison, it will take more than an hour before symptoms will appear."

In fact, this is the same principle as food. Even if the roots and stems of doves and flowers are eaten by mistake, they will be dissolved automatically after a few hours, and there is no serious harm to the body.

"Then according to what you said, this flower should be unique to Daxing. How could its rhizome appear in Dayan's palace?" The queen mother immediately thought of the origin of this flower. Could it be that Daxing's meticulous work was sent into the palace to deal with the emperor's poisonous hands? ?
"I don't know! These are still the guesses of my ministers, and I can't be sure! It's just that there is yam in the breakfast delivered by the imperial dining room today. You can find out by checking. In addition, which servant is responsible for the incense in the hall today?" Value, it does not seem to be difficult to find out."

"Where's Pang Chu? You go and call Pang Chu!" The queen mother looked around the hall, but she didn't find Pang Chu.The emperor's daily life is arranged by Pang Chu. At this time, Pang Chu is not here to serve him. Where did he go?
"Yes!" an internal waiter said, and stepped back quickly.

"You are the Minister of Dali Temple, you should investigate this matter." The Queen Mother turned to look at Gu Chengyu, and said to Gu Chengyu.

"Yes! We will find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible." Since doves and flowers are special products of Daxing, the mastermind behind the scenes should have something to do with Daxing.

But those two cannot be ruled out, after all, they are at the border, and it is not difficult to get the roots of doves and flowers.

"The servant sees the empress dowager!" Pang Chu trotted into the inner hall, and as soon as he entered the hall, he panicked and knelt down in front of the empress dowager.

The queen mother looked at Pang Chu with cold eyes, "Where did you go when you were not serving the emperor?"

Hearing the empress dowager's bleak voice, Pang Chu panicked, "I want to report to the empress dowager, the slaves are in a hurry just now!"

The Queen Mother turned to Pang Chu suspiciously, "Can someone prove it?"

"This? Just now, Xiao Jiangzi found the servant from the latrine!" Pang Chu said agitatedly.

"Eunuch Pang, let me ask you, what kind of incense is burning in the emperor's bedroom today?" Gu Chengyu felt that Pang Chu's expression was a little strange, could there be something wrong with Pang Chu?But Pang Chu has been with the emperor for many years, is it really a secret work?

It was clear that Pang Chu's concern and nervousness for the emperor before did not seem to be fake. Gu Chengyu felt that if Pang Chu was really meticulous, he would be at the level of an actor, but he didn't see it anyway.

Although people have three urgencies, but coupled with Pang Chu's expression at the moment, he always felt a little out of harmony.
