Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 224 This is Drunk Among the Flowers

Not long after Qian Momo returned to the yard, Aunt Huang came.

Because she is an aunt, no one cares about it, and it happens to be convenient for her to do things.

Not long after Aunt Huang's arrival, the imperial physician came, and after treating Chu Zhi as usual, he asked someone to bring over the medicine. When they saw the medicine, the eyelids of all the people present twitched.

Qian Momo tried her best to stabilize her expression, and took the medicine with a smile: "Young lady has slept for a long time, I'm afraid she should wake up, drink it after she wakes up, it happens that the medicine is a little hot, let it dry for a while before drinking it."

The imperial physician nodded and left.

After everyone had left, Aunt Huang asked Nanny Qian to bring the medicine, and asked what kind of medicine was used in the prescription before she spoke.

"The medicine is fine."

"How did you get the poison?"

"Want to poison, not only through the mouth, incense, clothing, jewelry, makeup...etc, all of them."

Aunt Huang grew up in the land of smoke and flowers, and she knows all about these things like the palm of her hand, and she is quite familiar with medicine, which is why Chu Zhi asked Aunt Huang to investigate.

"I remember that the incense in the girl's house doesn't smell like this." Aunt Huang said suddenly.

"This is the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, who said that the girl has been ill and never recovered. This fragrance can make people feel happy and help the girl recover from her illness..." Qian Momo said here, and stopped abruptly, "But there is something wrong with this fragrance. ?”

Aunt Huang was about to speak when someone from the palace came in and said they were here to exchange incense.

The girl opened the lid of the bronze incense burner with two ears of the gilt carved animal on the table, put the incense in with a clip, then ignited it with the old incense from before, finally closed the lid, and left respectfully.

After the person left, Aunt Huang stepped forward to check carefully, her brows gradually tightened.

After a while, he said: "This incense is not a problem."

The medicine is fine, the fragrance is fine, so what went wrong?
"You help the girl up, and I'll check her quilt and pajamas."

Qian Momo took a deep breath: "Could it be that this medicine..."

"Just guessing."

Chu Zhi's quilt and pajamas were changed every day, so it carried a faint fragrance.

"This is the fragrance of lily of the valley."

"Yes." Qian Momo said, "The imperial doctor said that this incense can calm the mind, so he specially smoked it and asked the girl to cover it."

Next, no matter how Aunt Huang checked, there was no progress, and the matter fell into a dead end.

The room was dead silent.

The three of them knew very well that if the source could not be found out, the girl would still be tricked.

Aunt Huang sighed: "Let's wait until the girl wakes up! She knows how to detoxify, and also knows the ingredients of the poison. Wait for me to discuss with the girl to see if we can find a clue."

When Chu Zhi woke up again, it was already half an hour later.

"How do you feel?" Aunt Huang worried, "But what's wrong?"

"Auntie is here." Chu Zhi asked, "How did Auntie check?"

Aunt Huang sighed: "Nothing. Those who prescribe the medicine are even cautious. The medicine you drink is fine, the incense is fine, I even checked the quilt and pajamas for you, and it's fine. Your clothes are scented with lily of the valley. It can calm the nerves, it is indeed good."

Just as he was talking, the imperial physician came again and said he was going to do acupuncture for Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi was stagnant in his heart and had a persistent high fever. Acupuncture and moxibustion can detoxify, so in the past few days, the imperial physician has been doing acupuncture and moxibustion for Chu Zhi every day.

Chu Zhi looked at the doctor's silver needle, and suddenly asked, "Where did your needle come from?"

The Imperial Physician hurriedly said: "The Holy Majesty specially instructed the subordinate officials to take good care of the County Master, so the silver needles will be sent to the Imperial Hospital of the Palace every day for disinfection, and will be delivered the next day. Don't dare to be sloppy."

Chu Zhi asked: "May I use it as an observation?"

Although the imperial physician didn't understand Chu Zhi's intention, he still handed the silver needle to Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi held the silver needle and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly licked and licked, too fast to stop it.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, took out another needle, and handed it to the imperial doctor: "Take a look, does this needle have a bitter sweet taste?"

Astringent sweetness?
The imperial doctor covered his face with his sleeve, licked it once, his face suddenly changed, licked it twice, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The county lord, forgive me!"

He has practiced medicine for several years and was on duty at the Imperial Hospital, so how could he not know that the needle was tampered with.

No wonder the county lord's illness hasn't recovered for a long time. I thought it was because of the county lord's poor health, but now it seems that someone has tampered with it and made a fuss about his silver needle. If the county lord really has Whatever it is, if it's through his hands, then he will be to blame for death.

At that time, he will not be a doctor practicing medicine to save people, but the chief culprit who prescribes medicine and commits murder.

Thinking of this, the imperial doctor was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat: "The county magistrate forgives the crime! The subordinate really didn't know about this matter, let alone did it. The subordinate official was ordered to treat the county magistrate's illness, so how could he touch the silver needle?" What harmed you with your hands and feet? I hope the county lord will learn from you!"

"You get up first." Chu Zhi asked Qian Momo to help him up, "I know you didn't do this."

The imperial physician immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Chu Zhi said again: "But it has nothing to do with you, if it wasn't for your negligence, how could someone take advantage of it?"

The face of the imperial physician who was finally relieved became a little paler.

"If I report the truth to His Majesty, do you think His Majesty will not punish you even if you don't know about it?"

The imperial physician is a fine person, instantly understood what Chu Zhi meant, and then knelt down again: "The authority of the next official is at the command of the county lord."

Chu Zhi smiled and called him up: "It's not an order, but I just want you and me to find out the culprit."

"What does the county magistrate mean?"

"Have you just tasted what kind of poison this is?"

"This..." The imperial physician hesitated, "It seems astringent but not astringent, sweet but not sweet... Sorry for my lack of knowledge."

"I have been ill for the past few days, and the quilt and pajamas have been smoked by lily-of-the-valley. The maids said that it was the imperial doctor's order to soothe the nerves."

"That's right. The county lord's heart beats too fast. It is recorded in medical books that if lily of the valley is used as medicine or as incense, it can calm the nerves."

"What if you use flowers?"

Dried lily of the valley flowers can be used as medicine, which has the effect of calming the nerves. If it is a flower, it will cause vomiting, poisoning and hallucinations after taking it. Even if it is used as incense, such effects will appear in the long run.

The imperial physician turned pale with fright, and said after a while: "The county magistrate means...someone uses fresh flowers to make incense?"

Chu Zhi asked without answering, "I don't know if you've ever heard of Drunken Flowers?"

"How does the county lord know about this medicine?" the imperial physician cried out, then quickly lowered his voice, "This is poison, and it's a forbidden medicine."

Ever since Emperor Xiandi discovered that someone poisoned the Empress Dowager Xiaolian with Huajianzui, this medicine has become a taboo.

"It seems that you know it." Chu Zhi smiled, "Since that's the case, do you know its medicinal properties?"

The imperial physician's eyes tightened: "The county magistrate means to doubt..."

But not right!
"The taste of Huajianzui is astringent and sweet. There is also the most important medicine in it, which is also the most common. It is the lily of the valley, but because of the water and soil problems, the lily of the valley in Zhao State is slightly different from that in Liang State. The effect is more domineering, the hatchback is mixed together, the taste of Huajianzui is astringent, sweet and slightly sour, am I right?"

The imperial physician was dripping with cold sweat: "Exactly."
