Chapter 19 Chapter 18 Framed
The first ray of sunlight in the morning, through the small window, slanted into Li Zihe's hut, and the fine dust danced under the light, like a joyful dance. Only half an hour a day, there is a little sunshine in the house .

Li Zihe's head was in a daze, as if a heavy stone was pressing on the top, he shook it vigorously, the things in front of him became clearer, he struggled to get up, just got out of bed, his footsteps were one deep and one shallow, he braced himself to pack everything up, and went out to go to the medicine department To decoct and deliver medicine for Concubine Yan.

When I went out, I found that the Imperial Hospital was inexplicably quiet. It was the moment of waking up. In the past, Datong's room must have been extremely lively, full of laughter and cursing, until the imperial doctors arrived at the Imperial Hospital one after another.Today it was as dead silent as if there was no one in the room.

Curiosity is there, but other people's business has nothing to do with her, and she is not feeling well, so she walked around the big wing room without even looking at it, and went straight into the front hall. As soon as she stepped in, she heard someone shouting: "It's him, it's him, He is Li Zihe who is in charge of delivering medicine to Concubine Yan!"

It was Yin Ping who spoke, pointing at Li Zihe with one hand, his face full of resentment.

Li Zihe's head was still dizzy, and when he came out of the room, the cold wind blew through his body, and his whole body became hot and cold. He only saw a row of medical boys in the hall, and the eunuch standing in the middle, if I remember correctly, was by Yun Jinyan's side father-in-law.She stabilized her body and planned to go forward to ask what happened, but her hands had already been clasped before her footsteps moved.

The father-in-law looked gentle, and with a slight wave of his hand, the two guards grabbed Li Zihe and left the imperial hospital.

Why didn't Li Zi resist, and didn't say much, let them hold him, just closed his eyes, tried his best to disperse the confusion caused by dizziness, let his thoughts settle down, and followed the footsteps of the guards, leaving behind a lot of discussion.

Yanwu Palace, strong medicine is pungent, dead silent, inside and outside the palace, there are court ladies and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, all of them kneeling on the ground, not daring to show more air, Concubine Yan is lying on the bed with a pale face, a bead of sweat As the seeds ooze out, Yun Jinyan sits down on the couch with a sullen face.

"Your Majesty, bring the medical boy who is in charge of decocting and delivering the medicine." The father-in-law next to Yun Jinyan, surnamed Wei, in his forties, with a kind face and kind eyes, bowed to report respectfully.

When Yun Jinyan saw Li Zihe, his expression turned cold, and he said coldly, "It's you?"

"My servant sees the emperor, long live, long live, long live!" The guard let go of Li Zihe at the right time. Li Zihe was already weak all over. Without the support of the two of them, he felt that even standing was a little difficult. He just heard Yun Jinyan's question, and his heart Suddenly the alarm bell rang, and he hurriedly knelt down to worship, but his head was like a thousand catties, originally he only kowtowed lightly, but without any effort, he slammed on the ground with a muffled "bang".

"What did you put in the love concubine medicine?" Yun Jinyan stood up, condescendingly, staring at Li Zihe with a little disgust.

Li Zihe only saw the bright yellow shaking in front of his eyes, he couldn't raise his head, he couldn't get up, staring at the bright yellow, he said: "Go back to the emperor, the servant decocted the medicine according to Li Yuyi's prescription, and didn't add anything else."

"Li Yuyi, what do you say?" Yun Jinyan turned his face and squinted at Li Yuyi who was kneeling on the side and trembling slightly.

"Back to the emperor, the prescription was prescribed by the minister, but there is absolutely no nitrate powder in the medicine residue." Although Li Yuyi was trembling, he still spoke calmly.

Yun Jinyan sat back on the couch and said casually: "Pull this medical boy out and punish him with a cane."

Li Zihe raised his head abruptly, his eyes darkened, but he could still see Yun Jinyan wiping Concubine Yan's sweat with a handkerchief, his movements were gentle and careful.

"Your Majesty, if the slave intentionally poisoned Concubine Yan, he would not be so stupid, nor would he just sprinkle nitrate powder in the medicine, the Emperor will clearly see!" Li Zihe lowered his head, still prostrated on the ground, and said calmly.

"Then who are you talking about?"

"The slave doesn't know."

"Drag on!" Yun Jinyan shook his sleeves and said ruthlessly, turning around to see Concubine Yan had opened her eyes, and said softly, "Concubine Ai is awake."

"Wait!" Concubine Yan half-supported her body, said to the two guards who were about to drag Li Zihe away, and then met Shang Yun Jinyan's gaze, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, this matter is for me Is it okay for my concubine to handle it?"

Yun Jinyan glanced at Li Zihe and nodded in agreement.

"Can Li Yitong tell you about the process of decocting and delivering the medicine yesterday?" Concubine Yan sat up, and Xiaoju who was next to her hurriedly took the cloak and put it on for her, and helped her to sit on the couch.

"Go back to your mother, the servant ordered and decocted the medicine according to Li Yuyi's prescription yesterday, and the slave has the full power to handle it. There will be no mistakes."

"Are you alone from beginning to end?"

Li Zihe pondered for a moment, and said: "The drug boy at the medicine department told the servant that Feng Yuanshi was looking for the servant, so he left for a while."

"Where did I look for you yesterday?" Feng Zongying came in at this time, blushing and panting, he must have hurried over, while speaking, he glared at Concubine Yan, and joined Yun Jinyan who was next to Concubine Yan.

Seeing him coming in, Yun Jinyan said with a smile, "Grandpa Feng is so free today, why did you come here?"

"I also saw that today, this Yanwu Temple is not so disgusting." Feng Zongying replied very casually without changing his face, secretly thinking that if I don't come today, I will wait for you two adulterers to kill you again innocent?

The smile on Yun Jinyan's face froze, and when he was about to speak, Concubine Yan preempted him.

Concubine Yan frowned slightly, she was aggrieved, she was not angry, and said in a harmonious voice: "In this way, someone must have tampered with the medicine department, Xiaoju, go and call the medicine boy from the medicine department to confront him."

Regarding Concubine Yan's actions, Feng Zongying didn't take it seriously, who knows what kind of tricks this poisonous woman is playing, she glanced at Li Zihe still kneeling on the ground, frowned, wanted to speak out, but thought of so many eunuchs and maids in and out of the palace , or to give Yun Jinyan a little face, in case he gets really annoyed and "scratches" himself, the loss outweighs the gain...

In less than half an hour, the Yanwu Palace was full of people. It was heard that someone had tampered with Concubine Yan's medicine.Concubine Yan is pregnant, and the dragon species involved at this time can be big or small, if anything happens to Concubine Yan, the entire medicine department, and even the Tai Hospital will be involved.

The drug boy who took medicine for Li Zihe yesterday entered the Yanwu Palace, couldn't stand anymore, fell to the ground, got up again, knelt down in a panic and said anxiously: "The emperor spares the emperor! The slave will do nothing. Didn't do anything!"

Yun Jinyan frowned, his expression was a little irritable, but he didn't intend to leave, he glanced at Li Zihe who was still kneeling on the ground, then nodded slightly to Concubine Yan, signaling her to continue.

Concubine Yan vaguely saw the shadow of the Yaotong through the screen, and raised her voice: "Yesterday you said that Feng Yuanshi was looking for Li Yaotong, but today Feng Yuanshi is here, but he said that there is nothing wrong with it, should you give Li Yaotong?" An explanation?"

Concubine Yan's voice was soft, soft and greasy due to her weakness, as if water was about to seep out. After Yaotong heard such a gentle question, most of the fear just disappeared, but her voice was still a little trembling. Stuttering: "Yesterday...yesterday..., it was...it was Mr. Yin... Let... let this servant tell Li... Li Yitong..., servant... this servant is just kind...helping, your empress is aware!"

"From Li Yitong's departure to his return, you have been in front of the medicine jar?"

"No...not..., it's... raining outside, I'm afraid... afraid that the medicinal materials will get wet..., so I'm going to collect the medicinal materials..." The medical boy knelt at the entrance of the hall, did not enter again, and wiped it while talking. tears.

"Is there anyone in the pharmacy here?"

The drug boy wiped away his tears, racked his brains to think about yesterday's situation, suddenly burst into joy, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Yin reminded me to collect the medicine at that time, and I left, he should be there!"

"Master Yin?"

"That's... the young master of the Imperial Physician Yin... and now he's also a medical boy in the Imperial Hospital."

Concubine Yan nodded knowingly, then turned to Xiaoju beside her and said, "Go and invite Yin Yitong over."

Xiaoju took the order to leave, Concubine Yan reckoned that it would take some time for Yin Ping to come over, she said with a smile to Yun Jinyan: "Your Majesty, the truth of the matter seems to have come out, how about letting Doctor Li get up?"

"Aifei speaks for this humble medical boy, don't you think it's disrespectful?" Yun Jinyan smiled softly, and pulled up a bunch of loose hair for Concubine Yan.

Concubine Yan lowered her eyelids and said nothing more.

Feng Zongying suddenly said "Oops", put his hands on his waist, kicked the table beside him, and shouted: "If you have long legs, don't stretch them out to harm others, shameless and embarrassing!"

Concubine Yan dissipated all the smiles on her face, and lay back on the couch. Yun Jinyan showed a cold look in her eyes, and said sharply: "If Grandpa Feng feels unwell, he will definitely not come to Yanwu Palace in the future!"

The disgusting Yan Wudian, if you invite him to come, why not come?Feng Zongying almost blurted out, thinking that he had already used his tongue just now, and everything was on point, so he just sat down leisurely as if he didn't hear what Yun Jin said, and didn't look at them.

Yin Ping entered the hall tremblingly, and after paying the salute, he stood aside and waited for questioning, he kept saying to himself, no one saw what happened yesterday, as long as he doesn't tell, he can't be convicted!
"I don't want to say anything unnecessary, why did you send Li Yitong and that medicine boy away yesterday?" Concubine Yan sat up again, staring at Yin Ping for a moment.

Yin Ping bent down and lowered his head, and replied: "The servant wanted to play a joke on Brother Zihe, but he didn't know it was raining, so he went to the backyard to remind the drug boy to collect the medicine."

"Why don't you accept it yourself?"

"The servant is not very familiar with the medicine palm, and I am afraid that I will make a mistake in my haste."

"In your opinion, among the three of you, who should have tampered with the medicine?"

Yin Ping quickly knelt down and said seriously: "Your majesty, empress, I don't know who gave the medicine, but I have a saying that I can't say it quickly, no matter who moved the hands and feet, the taste of the soup and medicine will change if Li Yitong is a medical practitioner. , must be able to sniff it out! Why does he know but not speak?"

Yin Ping glanced at Li Zihe, who was kneeling and motionless, without any trace, the nitrate powder was not harmful to ordinary people, but it was not good for the pregnant woman to eat it, and she was sweating profusely for six consecutive hours, unable to sleep Originally, he didn't want to harm Li Zihe, but he just wanted to make him boil the medicine again, and he would be punished if he was delayed, but he didn't know that he would let Concubine Yan drink it...

"Li Yitong, do you have an explanation?"

"Hui Niangniang, the servant suddenly caught the wind and cold today, and his sense of smell has lost, so he can't tell the difference." Li Zihe still buried his head, his eyes had already started to darken, and he tried his best to barely hear their conversation.

"Nonsense! Yesterday I saw that you were fine..."

"Presumptuous! How can Yuqian be so rude, let the old man come and see!" Feng Zongying interrupted Yin Ping, walked to Li Zihe's side, wanted to get the pulse, but was missed by Li Zihe.

Li Zihe was not feeling well at all, and knelt for more than an hour, her whole body was weak, and her body, which was struggling to stand upright, fell to the ground after such a dodge, and Feng Zongying hurriedly supported her. With her hot body, she frowned and shouted: "This baby is so sick, how can there be a fake?"

Yin Ping didn't believe it, "Yesterday she was lucky enough to cook medicine for Concubine Yan, so why did she have symptoms of cold? I...I don't believe it!"

"As far as the old man knows, you have always been at odds with Li Zi, why did you go to him at that time? In the name of the old man? How do you know that Li Zihe didn't catch the cold yesterday? Not to mention that not all the herbs are put into the pot, and the taste can be recognized Come out, do you know what kind of medicine is added to Concubine Yan's medicine?" Feng Zongying supported Li Zihe and asked urgently.

Yin Ping was anxious, and said: "Qi Nitrate Powder has a very strong smell, how could it be impossible to smell it?" He was afraid that Li Zihe would not smell it, so he specially selected the best medicinal material to find...

"Enough! Pull Yin Ping down!" Finally, Yun Jinyan couldn't bear to see this kind of trick that was easy to pierce, and flung his sleeves away.

Yin Ping's complexion changed drastically, and it suddenly occurred to him that the fault was on him. Why did he say Qi Nitrate so impatiently?Before he could beg for mercy from Concubine Yan in the future, he was dragged down.

Concubine Yan was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by Xiaoju, who only asked softly, "Is Doctor Li okay? Can you stand up?"

Li Zihe pinched himself hard, cheered himself up, dodged Feng Zongying's hand that wanted to help him, stood up and said: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern!"

"It's better for Li Yitong to go back and have a good rest. I'd better call Xiaoju to get the medicine for the past few days."

"Thank you for your grace!"

Li Zihe thanked him for his kindness, blinked hard, and left with support.

Feng Zongying only felt that she was being ignored once again. She was kind enough to be a donkey, but she didn't appreciate it when she kindly helped her! With a "hum", he walked in the opposite direction to Li Zihe.

Li Zihe can finally catch his breath, the bright autumn sun is a bit dazzling, making his head heavier, his eyes seem to be covered with black cloth, his legs seem not to be his own, it is extremely difficult to lift a step, and he doesn't know what to do After a long time, it seemed as if I had returned to my hut, as if I saw a soft couch, and I had no energy left to think, and lay down with my whole body.

Shen Mo caught Li Zihe with both hands, hugged her horizontally in his arms, looked around, made sure that there was no one there, jumped up, hugged her and sat on a tree trunk.

The woman in the hand is as light as boneless, as flexible as willow, her two eyebrows are twisted together, making people want to reach out and smooth them, the thick eyelashes are attached to the lower eyelids, trembling slightly, obviously hot all over, but her hands are cold, hugging her tightly Shen Mo, the whole body burrowed into his arms, Shen Mo's heart throbbed, he wanted to push away, but he couldn't give up, he raised his hand to brush off the fallen leaves from her hair, took some medicine from his sleeve and fed her to swallow Let her hug you.

In Li Zihe's dream, there was a world of ice and snow. In the dream, she was a child, a nine-year-old child, wearing only a shabby single dress. She was the only one walking alone in the vast snow field. Blood oozes from the snow-white ground, the bright red blood chases her footsteps, getting closer and thicker, Li Zihe's whole body feels nothing but coldness and fear, she starts to run, desperate Running in the snow, falling down again and again, getting up, falling down again, getting up again...

Suddenly there was a breeze, mixed with a faint medicinal fragrance, the bloodstains gradually faded wherever it went, Li Zihe seemed to touch the warmth, a little more, wanting a little more warmth, wanting to catch the wind, nothingness in his hands, Wanting to keep the medicinal fragrance, the fragrance disperses after the wind...

Li Zihe ran after the breeze, but his feet were empty...

Opening his eyes suddenly, he saw the familiar dark gray roof, the front right was the familiar small window, the silver-white moonlight passed through the window paper, leaving a thin shadow, it was a dream...a dream...

Li Zihe wanted to close his eyes and continue to sleep, but suddenly remembered something was wrong, turned over and sat up, and when he turned his head, he saw a familiar figure sitting in front of his desk, there was no light, only a faint shadow was seen by the faint moonlight, but those eyes , shining exceptionally in the dark, Li Zihe wanted to make a sound, but found that his voice seemed to be torn by force, so hoarse that he couldn't even make a complete sound.

Shen Mo stood up, looked at Li Zihe with burning eyes, but said indifferently: "You did this disease on purpose, why?"
