Little lucky girl with supernatural powers in the farm, becomes rich in business and raises cubs

Chapter 126 Mercury
There is a conversation between the two next to her ears, but Xiaoruo's attention is elsewhere.

She had noticed that the Holy Majesty's hand holding the cup was trembling slightly, but the expression on his face could be called serene and peaceful.

Out of the corner of his eye, he kept observing his mouth opening and closing as he spoke, as well as the occasional exposed teeth.

Bloodshot!It's bleeding gums.

A normal person would never bleed gums while speaking, unless...

"Mister, I want to ask you something." Xiao Ruo interrupted their conversation.

If in the past, someone dared to interrupt him when he was speaking, Emperor Suwu Zang Lu would definitely let this person know when to shut up.

But this time, maybe it was because he was just traveling in a low-clothes suit, and the people in front of him didn't know his identity, or maybe it was because he just remembered what happened when he was young, which made his heart a little softer.

He didn't want to care about Xiaoruo's rash opening this time.

"What's the matter? Tell me." He had a kind expression on his face.

After thinking for a while, Xiaoruo asked as tactfully as possible: "Have you often had dizziness and headache recently, and dreamed a lot at night?"

Zang Lu put down the teacup in his hand, frowned slightly and looked at Xiaoruo: "Why do you ask such a question?"

Except for the imperial doctor, no one else should know about his physical condition, and it made him a little unhappy to be told about his symptoms by a folk girl.

"I guess your memory is not as good as before? And your gums are often swollen and painful, accompanied by bleeding, and your mood is often restless. You want to get angry for no reason, and you can't control yourself."

When one or two symptoms were mentioned, Zang Lu might think it was a coincidence, but all the symptoms were described exactly, even more accurate than the imperial doctor's diagnosis!

Especially the symptom of bleeding gums, he never mentioned it to anyone.

In the dragon body of the Son of Heaven, every trace of essence and blood is extremely precious and cherished.

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, no longer suppressed the majesty of his superior, and asked, "How did you know about my dragon body?"

As soon as the emperor's exclusive claim was made, Wu Yi, the middle-aged man, and Zheng Dongyang immediately knelt on the ground, and Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun also knelt down.

Although kneeling, Xiao Ruo still didn't panic at all. She lowered her eyes and replied, "Minnv has studied medicine and knows a little about Qi Huang. Just now, I saw that Sheng Shang's hands were trembling unconsciously, and he had symptoms of bleeding teeth, so I boldly guessed The dragon is sick."

"It's bold." Zang Lu looked at the young man and woman kneeling in front of him. Although both of them were kneeling on the ground, their bodies were straight, and it could be seen that they were not afraid of him.

For some reason, Zang Lu felt that the two people in front of him unexpectedly met his eyes, even if Xiao Ruo rashly guessed the body of the dragon, he was not very angry.

"Then tell me, what is my illness?"

Carefully counting the symptoms of the emperor in her mind, Xiaoruo became more and more sure of her guess, she raised her head and replied, "My daughter suspects that your Majesty is suffering from chronic mercury poisoning."

"Poisoning?!" The middle-aged man cried out in surprise. As the emperor's close father-in-law, he handles all the daily necessities, food, housing and transportation in person. If the emperor is poisoned, he cannot escape responsibility.

Compared to Eunuch Su's fear, the poisoned person himself was much calmer.

Zang Lu frowned and asked, "What is mercury? Why did I get poisoned by it?"

Looking at the two kneeling in front of him, he raised his hand, "Get up and answer."

Everyone thanked them and stood up with their hands down.

Xiaoruo didn't realize that she couldn't look directly at Longyan, and continued to observe with her almond-shaped eyes, "Returning to Your Majesty, mercury is mercury. Chronic mercury poisoning does not happen overnight. Presumably, there must be mercury in the daily necessities of life of the Holy Majesty, and it will accumulate over time. , Unknowingly poisoned."

Her words frightened Eunuch Su's legs and feet, and he almost fell to his knees again.

Zang Lu also looked back at Su Henian at this time.

This was his close father-in-law who followed him when he was still a prince. He was 28 at that time, and Su Henian was only six years old.

It means that Su Henian grew up by his side since he was a child, so there is no need to doubt his loyalty. What he is thinking now is whether Xiao Suzi was unknowingly used by others to poison himself without realizing it.

Su Henian's eyes were red, and he looked at Zang Lu earnestly: "My lord, little Suzi is willing to swear on his wealth and life..."

Before expressing his loyalty, Zang Lu waved his hand to signal him that there is no need to say anything, "What do I want your wealth and life to do, what kind of wealth is not given to you by me."

"Think about it, some of my daily food may be mixed with mercury."

Su Henian didn't dare to be sloppy, and racked his brains to recall everything he had handled.

"Every day's food is cooked in the imperial dining room, and silver needles are used to test for poison before eating, and for safety, each dish will not exceed three chopsticks..."

"The Holy Majesty's clothes will be sent to the bedroom after washing, and the slaves will personally incense and hang them up, and there will be no mercury..."

"Sweeping of the sleeping hall and the Hall of Supreme Harmony is also carried out every day. If there is mercury, it should also be cleaned."

After thinking over and over for a long time, Su Henian still had no idea what exactly could contain mercury.

Xiao Ruo was also thinking.

The emperor had a wide variety of meals, and it was not easy to accurately guess which dish the emperor ate today, not to mention guessing every day in order to continuously add mercury and eliminate it.

Clothes and the like are also unlikely. Mercury is in the form of flowing water droplets. If you want to remain on the clothes, it will evaporate in four to eight hours at most. If you wear them and walk around, they will disappear faster.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to her mind. Emperors throughout the ages, as long as they get older, have a common wish, that is to live a long life and live as long as the sky. They will rack their brains to extend their lifespan.

For example, seeking elixir, seeking longevity.

Could it be that Emperor Suwu Zang Lu also had this behavior?Chronic mercury poisoning is not uncommon if you are looking for a elixir.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruo directly asked, "Eunuch Su, does Your Majesty have the habit of taking elixir?"

Su Henian immediately replied: "I have never taken any elixir, my sage is wise, and I have never believed in alchemists' words."

He paused suddenly, and added: "But the Holy Majesty has been taking the decoction prescribed by the Tai Hospital to recuperate the body."

The imperial doctor's prescription is naturally the most authoritative prescription in the world, and no one will question the medicine prescribed by the imperial hospital.

Soup?Could it be that the problem lies in the decoction that is often taken?
The same question arose in the minds of everyone present.

Xiaoruo and the others are ordinary people, and they don't understand the weight of the hospital, but the others know it all too well.

However, Suwu Emperor Zang Lu knew that if there was a problem with the imperial hospital, it would threaten all high-ranking royal family members and officials. Can ask Tai hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

So this matter needs to be investigated, but it must be investigated quietly.

He looked at Xiaoruo.

The girl in front of her has a soft and beautiful face, which makes it easy for those who see her to let go of her guard. Moreover, she is proficient in medicine and has amazing eyesight. She can detect abnormalities in his body within a short period of time with her...

Thinking of this, Zang Luchao said Xiaoruo: "From tomorrow onwards, you should go to the Imperial Hospital."
