"Your Majesty, someone from the Marquis Gu's Mansion has sent news that the Marquis is ill and needs to recuperate in the mansion, so I will take a leave with His Majesty."
Emperor Ning was half lying on the couch, the bright yellow bed curtains hanging down beside him, reflecting his pale face.
Concubine Xian was sitting by the couch, holding a small white porcelain medicine bowl in her hand, and was feeding Emperor Ning to drink medicine, when she heard Eunuch Gao's words, she stopped her hands.
Emperor Ning straightened up, "What is the disease? Is it serious?"
Eunuch Gao said: "Physician Sun said that wind evil entered the body and caused the cough. It's not a serious illness. It's just that Lord Hou is not young anymore, so he is still well maintained at the manor."
Emperor Ning sighed, "It's a coincidence that our old brothers are going to be sick together. Huaijiang visited me in the palace a few days ago, and advised me to go out and exercise more in my spare time. He usually does exercise on the pommel horse. Much more, aren't you sick?"
After finishing speaking, he told Eunuch Gao, "Go and send a millennium ginseng from the new tribute a few days ago to Guhou's mansion, and tell Guhou on my behalf, let him recover from his illness and return to the court, don't worry. Shubai is also now If you can stand on your own, you can’t miss anything.”
"yes."
Eunuch Gao agreed, and slowly backed out of the bedroom.
Concubine Xian scooped up the medicine in the bowl with a small spoon, "Your Majesty, drink the medicine first, the medicine will lose its properties when it cools down."
Emperor Ning suddenly thought of something, simply took the bowl in her hand and drank it down.
When he put down the bowl, his face wrinkled with bitterness, Concubine Xian hurriedly brought him candied fruit with honey, it would be better if Emperor Ning swallowed one.
"I heard people say that the medicine is not so bitter after drinking it all at once, why do I feel it is still very bitter?"
He adjusted his posture in boredom, put his hands on his chest, "Aifei, do you think I am getting old?"
Concubine Xian said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not getting old, but getting younger and younger, and he still thinks the medicine is bitter like a child!"
Emperor Ning was obviously not relieved by these words, "I'm old, even Huaijiang is old. If he wasn't old, how could he have asked for leave because of such a minor illness in the past? When people are old, no matter how small the problem is, it will cause great harm. Just like me this time, no matter how old the wind and cold are, it’s not good... "
Concubine Xian subconsciously recognizes it, and puts the medicine bowl he drank on the tray in Mu Jin's hand.
Mu Jin took a look at Concubine Xian, saluted her body, and walked back out of the hall.
…
The incident of Gu Huaijiang's poisoning was not announced to the outside world, and Sun Taiyi still told others according to the original statement.
Secretly, this matter was handed over to Yu Fu to handle it.
"Yu Fu, can this poison be cured?"
Gu Shubai and Gu Jiuge wanted to investigate the matter of Yin Jiyu's biological mother, but who would have thought that Gu Huaijiang had been poisoned suddenly, how could they have the intention to investigate the case
Gu Huaijiang lay prone on the couch, shirtless, with silver needles all over his neck and back.
Yu Fu shook his head, "I can only restrain myself first, and then I can make plans after I find out what kind of poison it is. There are very few poisons in this world that I don't know about, and it's probably because of Kunwu." It hurts."
Kunwu injured
Gu Jiuge said: "In the past few days, I asked Manager Qi to check all the servants in the mansion, especially those who serve in the kitchen. I checked all my father's daily food and beverages, and found no source of poison. Wushang left Dongling long ago, how did he do it?"
Yu Fu looked at Gu Shubai, "Brother, do you still remember the last sentence in his letter? I think what he said was about poisoning the general."
Gu Shubai said: "In terms of poison, there is probably no one in Dongling who is better than you. Only Kun Wushang studied in the Immortal Valley with you, and knows your situation better, and can find poison that you don't even know about. "
For example, the secret poison of the Miao Village he gave Yin Shuo last time, even though Yu Fu didn't know about it, he was able to unravel it.
But this time the poison...
Yu Fu estimated the time, put away the silver needles on Gu Huaijiang's back one by one, near the neck, the tip of those silver needles entering the body turned black.
Going down, the black is getting lighter and lighter, and the silver needles on the waist are completely normal in color.
Qi Zhou stepped forward, dressed Gu Huaijiang, and helped him get up slowly.
"Master Hou, what do you think?"
Gu Huaijiang felt it attentively, "The throat is much clearer, it is no longer as dry and hoarse as before, and I can't help coughing. The acupuncture and moxibustion that Yufu gave me these days seems to be effective."
Yu Fu said: "General, raise your head."
Gu Huaijiang raised his head as he said, and everyone looked at his neck, the light purple mass was still there.
Yu Fu's expression was solemn, "Treating the symptoms is not the root cause. If the antidote is not found, the toxicity will spread day by day, and one day it will become uncontrollable. Second brother, you must find a way to find the source of the poison. It's not just the food that the general eats." , or maybe something he touched or even smelled."
Qi Zhou hurriedly said: "The servants in the mansion are all serving the elderly, and the servants of the younger generation are all born at home, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Gu Shubai said: "Officer Qi, Yu Fu is not suspicious of the servants in the mansion, but such a serious matter as father's poisoning, of course we must investigate carefully. Especially the people around father, who has a chance to be poisoned, please do your best to investigate. "
Qi Zhou responded politely, but Yu Fu suddenly looked at him.
She remembered someone.
