People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 286: Old stories of the Southern Dynasties, royal secrets!
Lin Feng and others quickly returned, and within a quarter of an hour, they returned to the East Palace.

When he came to the East Palace again, Lin Feng could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the East Palace was much more relaxed than when he arrived before. Although the guards stationed there still stared at everyone who came and went with their tiger eyes, the evil spirit in their eyes was much less.

He knew that this was the result of the good news that Sun Simiao treated Li Chengqian.

Everyone walked through the front yard, walked along the corridor, crossed the pavilion, and quickly arrived at the backyard where Li Chengqian lived.

As soon as I entered, I saw the doctors from the Imperial Medical Office, surrounding a man with gray hair, rosy face, and bright eyes, who did not look old at all. They were asking for medical advice very humbly. He was so excited and eager to learn. Doesn't it look like the desperate look that Lin Feng had when he arrived before?

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng's heart moved. He knew that this person who was like a star holding the moon should be Sun Simiao, the king of medicine who was famous throughout the ages.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue has arrived."

Li Zhen saw that the imperial doctors were blocking the road and did not see them at all, so he warned them.

Only then did the imperial doctors see the arrival of Lin Feng and others. They quickly saluted Li Tai and then said hello to Lin Feng. They knew that it was Sun Simiao recommended by Lin Feng, and that Sun Simiao could solve Li Chengqian's crisis, which was equivalent to saving their lives. , so they are also grateful to Lin Feng.

"I heard that you know why my brother is unconscious? Tell me quickly, what is the reason why your brother is unconscious?"

Li Taike was too lazy to talk nonsense with these imperial doctors and went straight to the point.

Lin Feng smiled. He was happy to see that Li Tai helped him save time on small talk.

Then they saw a group of imperial doctors quickly getting out of the way, and Sun Simiao naturally walked to the front.

His hair and beard have long been completely white, but not only does he not have any sense of old age and drowsiness, but his back is straight and his eyes are clear. He has such a unique temperament that if he were to wear Taoist robes, even if he were to say that he was a Taoist, he would never be able to match it. People doubt.

"Sun Simiao, a country doctor, has met His Royal Highness the King of Yue." Sun Simiao's voice was neither slow nor urgent, and he showed no nervousness or awe towards Li Tai.

Li Tai took a look at Sun Simiao and seemed to be affected by Sun Simiao's unique temperament. He was a little more polite and said, "I wonder why my brother is in coma? And how to treat him?"

Sun Simiao's eyes swept over Li Tai and the others, then stopped at Lin Feng and said, "This is the famous Lin Sizheng, right?"

Lin Feng was startled, why was he still paying attention to himself?

He smiled and cupped his hands: "Mr. Sun is polite."

Sun Simiao smiled and nodded: "Lin Sizheng is extremely handsome, with a healthy body and extraordinary bearing. He is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men."

Lin Feng was stunned by Sun Simiao's compliment for no reason. The history books didn't say that Sun Simiao loved to praise people so much.

Then I heard Sun Simiao continue: "I have informed His Majesty about His Highness the Crown Prince's situation. His Majesty has ordered that only Lin Si Zheng should be informed about His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You can only tell me?" Lin Feng's eyes flashed.

Li Shimin's words were very meaningful. Everyone knew that the reason for Li Chengqian's coma was because of the special powder. This should not be a secret. However, Li Shimin still specifically told Sun Simiao that he could only tell himself, even his most beloved My son Li Tai couldn’t even tell.

This is very interesting.

He believed that Qian Niuwei would report the results of his investigation in Prince Yue's Mansion to Li Shimin as soon as possible.

Therefore, Li Shimin definitely knew that Li Tai had been wronged and framed, and he should also know that he had personally caught the person who framed Li Tai.

But even so, Li Shimin still didn't want Li Tai to know the details of Li Chengqian's coma. Why?
Could it be that that special powder holds some special secret?

Lin Feng's thoughts were spinning, but he didn't show any signs of it on the surface. He turned his head and looked at Li Tai, Sun Fujia and others, and said: "We have to obey your Majesty's order, so please wait a moment until I finish talking with Dr. Sun." , and let you know the details.”

Li Tai originally wanted to open his mouth and say that he was his father's favorite son, and there was no way his father could hide it from him. But now Lin Feng spoke. He hesitated for a moment, and finally did not embarrass this old man who looked like a fairy, and said : "Okay, I'm waiting for you."

Sun Fujia naturally had no objection to Lin Feng's words. He said, "It just so happens that I am taking a break."

Li Zhen didn't speak, he just turned around and waved his hand, calling everyone in the dormitory away.

Soon, only the unconscious Li Chengqian, Lin Feng and Sun Simiao were left on the bed in the huge dormitory.

Lin Feng saw that the door of the main hall was closed by Li Zhen. He turned to look at Sun Simiao, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Sun, can we talk now?"

Sun Simiao stroked his beard and said with a gentle smile: "When I heard His Majesty's order at first, I was worried that if I said this, I would make enemies of Lin Sizheng. But now it seems that I was too worried. Lin Sizheng's reputation is higher than mine. Even higher than expected.”

Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with me. It is His Majesty's order. No one dares to disobey it."

"Do not."

Sun Simiao shook his head: "I have been walking in this world for decades. I can still tell whether they dare not leave without this, or they left because of Lin Sizheng's words."

What else could Lin Feng say? He wasn't sure what Sun Simiao meant by complimenting him, so he could only smile in response.

Fortunately, Sun Simiao did not continue to compliment Lin Feng in a way that confused him, and quickly returned to the main topic. He looked at Li Chengqian, who was lying on the bed with a ruddy face but unconscious, and said slowly: "I wonder what Lin Sizheng thinks of the Liang Dynasty?"

"Liang Chao?"

Lin Feng was stunned, why was Liang Chao suddenly involved?

He knew that the Liang Dynasty mentioned by Sun Simiao was the Nanliang Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which was the third dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, but that was all.

After all, he is not a top student in the history department. He is familiar with history, that is, the popular dynasties such as Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming. Therefore, he can know which period the Liang Dynasty was from, which is considered extraordinary. Therefore, Sun Simiao asked him what he thought, and he really Don't know how to answer.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng decided to use his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and turned the topic to his specialty, saying, "Dr. Sun mentioned the Liang Dynasty... Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince's coma has something to do with the Liang Dynasty? But the Liang Dynasty has been destroyed for many years, right?"

Sun Simiao looked at Li Chengqian on the bed, stopped trying to be extraneous, and said, "His Royal Highness is in a coma due to poisoning."

Sure enough... Lin Feng said: "Because of that bird?"

"It seems that Lin Sizheng has found out a lot of things."

Sun Simiao nodded and said: "Yes, I found some white powder on the feathers of the cuckoo bird. The powder is odorless and light. The cuckoo bird only needs to flap its wings slightly to make the powder float. , thus being inhaled into the nasal cavity.”

When Lin Feng heard this, he said: "But before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came into contact with the bird, His Highness the King of Yue and his attendants came into contact with the bird earlier, and after the bird was sent to the East Palace, although the maids did not directly He touched the bird cage, but he also walked back and forth near the cuckoo bird. If the powder was poisonous, they would have inhaled it, right? But why are they okay?"

Sun Fuga nodded and praised: "Su Wenlin Temple is very observant and will not miss any abnormality. When I saw it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Lin Feng: "..."

You always tell the truth, are you bragging about your professional training?

"Yes, not only His Highness the Crown Prince has inhaled the powder, but others have also inhaled it."

Sun Simiao continued, "Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unconscious, while everyone else is fine, simply because this is not a poison."

Not a poison?

Is it...

Lin Feng suddenly had a guess. He looked at Sun Simiao and said, "Could it be two poisons? When these two poisons are separated, they will not be toxic, but when they come together and interact with each other, they become deadly poisons?"

When Sun Simiao heard Lin Feng's words, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng with a look of surprise. He said, "Lin Sizheng still understands pharmacology?"

I don't understand pharmacology, but I understand chemical reactions... Lin Feng shook his head and said: "I have never read a medical book, so I don't understand pharmacology. However, in some cases I investigated, I encountered some similar things. That’s why I made such a guess, Dr. Sun, I wonder if my guess is correct?”

"I see."

Sun Simiao nodded and said: "Although Lin Sizheng doesn't understand pharmacology, the answers he gave are more accurate than all the imperial doctors."

"Yes, the poison that His Royal Highness was poisoned by, as Lin Simasheng said, is indeed the result of the interaction of two drugs. Taken alone, these two drugs are not only non-toxic, but beneficial to the body, but once they are in the human body When they meet, they will fall into a long sleep like His Highness."

"If the antidote cannot be obtained within half a month and His Highness the Crown Prince can wake up, then His Highness the Crown Prince..." Sun Simiao shook his head, his expression finally became serious, and he said, "I'm afraid he will never wake up again."

Lin Feng was shocked and said, "Didn't Doctor Sun already know how to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince?" Sun Simiao nodded: "I know how to revive His Highness the Crown Prince, but that doesn't mean I can revive His Highness the Crown Prince."

Sun Simiao's words were a bit convoluted, but Lin Feng quickly understood what Sun Simiao meant. He said: "Dr. Sun said that if there is an antidote, you can directly revive His Highness the Crown Prince. But if there is no antidote, Dr. Sun needs to prepare it himself." The antidote, but is it too late?”

Sun Simiao nodded: "To be honest with Lin Sizheng, the two medicines that made His Royal Highness unconscious were not a single medicinal material at all, but the result of multiple medicinal materials in a certain proportion and a special preparation method. If you can't know in detail what they are used for, It is difficult to prepare an antidote specifically without knowing which medicinal materials were used, how much they were used in, what order they were used in, and what method of preparation was used.”

Lin Feng hurriedly asked: "Those powders on the bird?"

"Too little." Sun Simiao shook his head: "Those powders were flapped by the bird's wings many times. It is difficult to even collect the remaining amount, let alone determine what medicinal materials were used from such a small amount."

"But doesn't Dr. Sun know what kind of poison His Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned with?"

"I know, but that's just something I accidentally heard from an old doctor who escaped from the palace when I was studying medicine in Health City when I was young. If not for that old doctor, he could be considered one of my most important teachers. , maybe I will forget about this special poison."

When he was young, he was an old doctor who escaped from the palace... When Lin Feng heard these keywords, his eyelids twitched a few times.

Sun Simiao was born in the seventh year of the reign of the Western Wei Dynasty, which is already ninety years ago. Lin Feng couldn't even imagine what dynasty he was in when he was young.

After all, the dynasties before the Sui and Tang Dynasties changed at an incredibly fast pace.

But... Lin Feng suddenly remembered the Liang Dynasty that Sun Simiao mentioned before. Could it be...

He said directly: "That old doctor, is he the doctor of the Liang Dynasty?"

Sun Simiao nodded first, then shook his head, and said, "He is both the imperial physician of the Liang Dynasty and the imperial physician of the Chen Dynasty."

"He first served the Liang Dynasty, and then after the fall of the Liang Dynasty, he was loyal to the Chen Dynasty. However, when he was treating the Chen Dynasty royal family, something went wrong, so he escaped first before the problem was discovered."

Lin Feng: "... Doctor Sun's teacher has really rich experience."

Sun Simiao smiled, he had already seen through the clouds and smoke in the past.

He stroked his beard and continued: "When I met the teacher, I was just over twenty. The teacher was already old, so he taught me what he had learned throughout his life."

"At the same time, he also told me many strange things he encountered in the Liang Dynasty, including records of a poison called 'Golden Pearl'."

"Golden Pearl?" Lin Feng straightened his back subconsciously. He knew that Sun Simiao talking about Golden Pearl alone was definitely Li Chengqian's poison.

As expected, Sun Simiao then introduced Lin Feng in detail about the pharmacology of Jinzhu poison, as well as the methods of poisoning and detoxification.

"…So, if you want to save His Highness the Crown Prince, if you can find the antidote, that is the most convenient way. If you can't find the antidote, I can find the two medicines for the golden bead poison." Prepare the antidote as quickly as possible, but if there is nothing..."

Sun Simiao sighed and shook his head: "Even I can't do anything."

Lin Feng couldn't help but frown after listening to Sun Simiao's words.

Sun Simiao's meaning is very clear. If he wants to save Li Chengqian, he must either find an antidote or find two prescriptions for Jinzhu.

But where would he go to find antidotes and prescriptions?

Unless he can find the person behind the poisoning.

But now his investigation is in trouble. Li Tai's line can no longer give him any more clues. He thought Sun Simiao could give him good news, but who knew that although Sun Simiao knew how to save Li Chengqian, he still had no effect on his case. Not helpful.

Instead, it added new pressure to him.

This made even Lin Feng feel that the heavy burden on his shoulders made him unable to breathe.

After all, what is carried on his shoulders is not only the truth, but also a living human life.

Sun Simiao looked at Lin Feng's frown. He could imagine what kind of pressure the young man in front of him was under. With pity in his eyes, he sighed: "I really want to help Lin Feng, but unfortunately, I am really helpless, teacher." Tell me, the poison of the golden beads was accidentally obtained by Emperor Wu of Liang, but before Emperor Wu of Liang could use it, the Hou Jing Rebellion broke out, and then the poison of the golden beads suddenly disappeared, and he never had the chance to take a look at the golden beads. The prescription for Pearl Poison, otherwise maybe I can crack it without putting all the pressure on Lin Sizheng."

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Why did the poison of the golden beads suddenly disappear? As an imperial physician, did Mr. Sun Doctor not know anything about it?"

Sun Simiao shook his head: "At that time, the Liang Dynasty had reached its most chaotic period. The teacher was too busy taking care of himself that he naturally had no intention to take care of the poison of the golden beads, but..."

He recalled it carefully, and then said: "The teacher told me some rumors he had heard."

"Rumors?"

Sun Simiao nodded: "The teacher said that after the fall of the Liang Dynasty, he had heard some rumors. Rumors said that although Emperor Wu of Liang became comatose with old age, he finally woke up at the last moment, but Emperor Wu of Liang already knew that he was powerless to save the day, so Liang Emperor Wu learned from the painful experience and formulated a plan to regain the country. "

"He secretly hid the treasures he had accumulated over the years, and then gave the keys to his most promising descendants, asking them to endure it first and then look for opportunities to use the treasures he had hidden to regain the country and kill the rebellious Hou Jing... …But it’s a pity that none of the royal family members behind the Liang Dynasty could take the lead, and the Liang Dynasty was completely destroyed.”

"And that treasure has never been used."

Having said this, Sun Simiao looked at Lin Feng and said, "My teacher believes that if the rumors are true, the prescription for the Golden Pearl Poison should have been hidden by Emperor Liang Wu along with the treasures. After all, the Golden Pearl Poison is Poison that has never appeared before, if used properly, will be of great use. "

"Emperor Liang Wu's treasure..." Lin Feng frowned and his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing that Lin Feng was really thinking about the rumors he said, Sun Simiao couldn't help but said: "That's a rumor after all. Even my teacher is not sure, so don't believe it too much... let alone that it happened decades ago. , Even if it is true, dynasties have changed a lot over such a long time, and even if there is a treasure house, no one can know its specific location, and no one can find its key. "

"not necessarily!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng's voice suddenly sounded.

"What?" Sun Simiao was startled.

For the first time, he realized that he did not understand the thoughts of the scholar in front of him.

Lin Feng looked at Sun Simiao and said, "Dr. Sun, I have a question."

"what is the problem?"

"That Emperor Wu of Liang, does he believe in Buddhism?" Lin Feng suddenly asked a question that seemed impossible to answer at first glance.

Although Sun Simiao didn't know why Lin Feng asked this, he still nodded: "Of course he believes in Buddhism, and he believes in Buddhism in a more devilish way. He not only believes in it himself, but also forces princes, nobles and even ordinary people to believe in Buddhism with him."

It was really like this... Lin Feng's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Just now, he just felt that there was a slight possibility and thought it was a coincidence, but now, he suddenly felt that he might have found the truth.

He continued: "Emperor Wu of Liang believed in Buddhism, so he also valued Buddhist things?"

"Of course."

Sun Simiao said: "He not only built many temples, but also spent the country's financial resources to build many Buddha statues. He also always held a Buddhist bead in his hand. My teacher once said that if Emperor Wu of Liang hadn't been wearing imperial robes, he wouldn't have known it. Yes, I thought he was a monk."

Always hold the prayer beads...

Lin Feng's pupils suddenly jumped!
Right!
Could it be...that it's really that thing - Banyue'an's treasure, the red sandalwood cloud bead! ?
When he was listening to the rumors told by Sun Simiao just now, Lin Feng couldn't help but think of the legend of Banyue'an red sandalwood cloud beads.

Master Jingci told him that the red sandalwood cloud beads were brought by the first head of their Banyue Temple. It was said to be related to a certain royal family and contained a big secret.

And counting the time, the first head of Banyue Temple lived during the Northern and Southern Dynasties!
More importantly, Xiao Man'er told him that the red sandalwood cloud beads in Banyue'an were lost not long ago!
And it was very strange and weird that it was lost, and there was no clue for such a long time.

Lin Feng had previously wondered whether someone had cracked the secret of the red sandalwood cloud beads and found some big secret of the royal family.

As a result, not long after the red sandalwood cloud beads were lost, the lost poison of the golden beads that was said to have been hidden in the treasury by Emperor Wu of Liang reappeared. Isn't it too much of a coincidence to say that this was a coincidence?
Not to mention that Emperor Wu of Liang happened to be obsessed with Buddhism and always held Buddhist beads in his hand.

Can this series of things come together be a coincidence?
"Lin Sizheng?" Sun Simiao couldn't help but worry when he saw Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed.

Then, he saw Lin Feng raise his head and look at him, showing a confident smile that even infected him, and said: "Dr. Sun, I said I can find a prescription for the golden bead poison. Do you believe it?"
