Yun Xi has a dull temper, he is not as resourceful as his father, nor as slick as his mother, so seeing Liu Wei boarding the carriage to enter the palace, he held back for a long time without uttering a word of resistance.
stop words.
It stands to reason that Liu Wei is a guest, even if the palace really invites someone, Yun Mansion, as the host, should accompany them all the way, but when the people from the palace came suddenly, Liu Wei readily agreed,
The hatchback was just coming down, and Yun Xi, who was not good at words, just didn't insert a word.
Yun Xi also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so until he saw Yun Xiang, he was still in a daze.
Yun Xiang originally came to find Liu Wei to go shopping together, but when he came to the guest room, he saw his third brother holding Chou Chou in a daze, standing there without saying a word, and asked out of curiosity,
After knowing the inside story, she couldn't laugh or cry.
"So you just let her go?"
Yun Xi thought about it seriously for a while before asking: "No?"
Yun Xiang sighed: "I'll go to the medical hall to find Master."
He said he was about to leave.
But Yun Xiang saw Chou Chou huddled in Yun Xi's arms, not crying or fussing, obediently playing with her clothes. She went over to take the child and said, "I'll take Xiao Ye, how can you be a man?"
take the kids. "
Yun Xiang ran anxiously to find the adults to make decisions, and Liu Wei entered the palace smoothly after an hour of bumpy carriage.
The imperial palace of Xianyan Kingdom is different from that of Qingyun Kingdom. The capital of Qingyun Kingdom is located in the north, but the capital of Xianyan Kingdom is located in the south of the Yangtze River. The seasons are like spring and the climate is warm and humid.
Liu Wei was not afraid of life, when he entered the Qinghuang Hall, the eunuch went in to ask for instructions, and Liu Wei stood in front of the hall.
After a while, a group of people came out of the hall, but it was not the eunuch before, but a middle-aged woman.
Show how difficult she is to get along with.
The other party looked Liu Wei up and down first, then frowned slightly, and raised his voice to ask: "Young lady is Yun Xi's friend?"
Liu Wei paused for a moment, then looked down at her attire, she was wearing men's attire, but the other party recognized her as a woman at a glance.
Liu Wei replied heartily: "I and Yunxi are indeed old."
The woman pursed her lips slightly, as if because the person she saw in front of her was too far from what she had imagined in her mind, her expression was visibly depressed, but she didn't ask any more questions, she just said: "Your Majesty is here
inside, come in. "
Liu Wei felt the disappointment in the other party's tone.
On the second day after he came to Beijing, the other party invited him here early in the morning in a hurry. He must have great expectations for the "miracle doctor friend" mentioned in Yun Xi's letter, but when he saw her,
Not only is she young, but she is also a woman. The so-called hairless mouth is not strong enough to do things well, and the human heart instinctively feels that women are inferior to men. It is understandable to compare the two and show disappointment on the other side.
of.
Liu Wei was not angry either.
Back then in Qujiang Mansion, there were not a few villagers who did not trust her medical skills because she was too young. If she cared about everyone, wouldn't it be endless.
Liu Wei is a woman, and the curtains that were originally prepared in the palace are no longer needed. When Liu Wei entered, she saw the maids removing the curtains in an orderly manner, and on the other side of the curtains, a woman with Yun
A middle-aged woman who was three points similar, was sitting there in a red robe, watching her come in, and smiling at her.
Liu Wei thought to herself, after one country, she is so approachable.
Liu Wei stepped forward and bowed to salute.
The queen raised her hand, and said in a gentle voice: "I didn't hear that before, the friend Xi'er brought back is a girl, come here, come quickly and let me have a look."
Liu Wei felt that the other party was really too enthusiastic to refuse, so she took two steps forward.
But who would have thought that, as if she thought she was walking too slowly, the empress got up directly, came over in person, grabbed Liu Wei's hand, and looked her up and down back and forth.
Liu Wei is silently familiar with this kind of look, since she came to Yun Mansion yesterday, she has met this kind of look at least seven or eight times.
Sure enough, she immediately heard the queen say with satisfaction: "It seems that she is a little older than Xi'er, but it's better to be older, sensible, and know how to love others. There are other brothers in the girl's family."
sisters? Is Gaotang here? How did you meet our Yunxi family? "
Liu Wei's face froze, and she forcibly pulled her hand out of the empress's hand, and said sullenly: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I'm married, and my family is very happy with one son and one daughter."
The queen was taken aback, with an embarrassed expression on her face, looked at Mrs. Xiang, and asked softly, "No?"
Yun's voice was lowered and said: "I only said she was a woman, nothing else."
The queen sneered, and said to Liu Wei: "It's my palace that's being rude, don't worry about it."
What Liu Wei could say was that she didn't care.
Xiang's wife, Mrs. Yun, hurriedly supported the queen, sent her back to the couch, and turned her head to Liu Wei, saying: "Your Majesty's illness, I must have heard Yun Xi mention it, I don't know, Miss, what's your opinion?"
open? "
Liu Wei choked for a moment, and was embarrassed to say that Yun Xi didn't mention anything, and she only found out about it just now, so she could only ask, "How about getting a pulse first?"
Yun Shi nodded and gave up his position.
Liu Wei went over.
When Liu Wei was checking the queen's pulse, the queen was not idle, and asked her in a good mood: "This time I came back with Yunxi, but it's only a girl."
Liu Wei focused on her pulse, and replied, "There is another one, surnamed Li."
The queen's eyes lit up: "But you haven't left the cabinet yet?"
Liu Wei sighed: "Your Majesty, please be calm, don't let your mood fluctuate, which will affect the result of the pulse condition."
Mrs. Xiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't let your wild thoughts go."
The queen replied, but she kept asking Liu Wei: "How did that Miss Li meet my family's Yunxi, does the lady know?"
Liu Wei frowned: "Miss Li is Yunxi's patient. She suffers from a lack of soul, and her mind is like a three-year-old child. Yunxi has been in charge of her treatment."
The smile on the Queen's face froze immediately: "Such as a three-year-old child?"
Liu Wei said directly: "From what I've seen, Yun Xi has no fondness for Miss Li."
The smile on the queen's face disappeared completely, but then she asked again: "Is it just the two of you? There are no other women?"
Liu Wei said stiffly: "No."
The queen was completely lost, with a slumped face and a depressed look.
Liu Wei reminded her again: "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't get depressed."
Mrs. Xiang said angrily: "Mother, don't think about it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You are not in good health. What are you worrying about?"
The queen couldn't cheer up either, so she simply stopped moving and didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, Liu Wei withdrew her hand, her face slightly solemn.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Liu Wei raised her head and asked the queen: "Since the onset of the illness, have you often experienced dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, body aches, chills, fever, and when severe
Hematemesis, coughing, urination, hematuria, oral mucosal ulcers, frequent neurasthenia, nightmares in the middle of the night, and exfoliative dermatitis on the scalp? "
The queen didn't pay much attention at first, but after listening to the other party's words, especially at the end, she still couldn't help being startled, and at the same time unconsciously touched her head and face.
The color is bleak.
Mrs. Xiang on the side hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, these are the symptoms, girl, do you really know? What kind of disease is this? Or is it caused by evil spirits?"
Liu Wei's face darkened, and her eyes scanned her surroundings.
Mrs. Xiang is such a shrewd person, she immediately said to her surroundings: "Everyone go out, and you are not allowed in without a summons!"
The serving maids and eunuchs hurriedly agreed to leave, leaving only the queen, Mrs. Xiang and Liu Wei in the hall.
Liu Wei looked at the Azure Phoenix Hall again, up and down, left and right.
Mrs. Xiang followed behind Liu Wei, and asked anxiously: "What kind of disease is this? Please tell me clearly!"
Liu Wei looked back with a bad expression: "Mercury poisoning is a chronic poison among heavy metals. The poisoning time is not long, and it has evolved into kidney failure. If it is not treated in time, it will take less than three years.
, there must be fear of life. "
"Mercury?" Mrs. Xiang didn't understand this unfamiliar word.
Liu Wei said in another word: "It's mercury, mercury poison."
Mrs. Xiang was stunned, and turned to look at the queen in panic.
The queen also became nervous, stood up and asked, "You mean, someone poisoned the food in this palace?"
Liu Wei shook his head: "If you take it orally, you may have died already. Since it is chronic, it is naturally not through oral administration."
The queen didn't understand: "Then..."
"Your Majesty, please look." Liu Wei stepped under the main hall of the Qinghuang Hall, raised his head and pointed at the Fengyin throne above, staring at the nine-curved phoenix body: "You must use this seat often."
The queen's face changed: "You mean, the poison was smeared on the seat?"
"No." Liu Wei analyzed: "This seat is made of mercury. You can see that the phoenix head and phoenix tail are slightly peeled off. The purple-brown metal that peeled off is exactly mercury.
After dissolution, it evolved through weathering. "
Mrs. Xiang immediately said: "This Fengyin throne was made by Si Gongfang."
The queen pondered, lowered her eyes, and slightly clenched her hands: "Si Gongfang is the supervisor of my palace, and he is making trouble under my nose..."
Liu Wei walked forward again and walked up to the queen. Under the puzzled eyes of the queen, she reached out and stroked the queen's earlobes: "Such an exquisite pair of earrings are exquisitely crafted and elegant in style.
, Also, full of toxicity. "
The queen's face changed drastically immediately, Mrs. Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, quickly took off the earrings for the queen, her heart pounding: "It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable!"
Liu Wei walked around the Azure Phoenix Hall, some of which were recognizable at a glance, and some were inspected with silver needles. In short, there were more than 20 objects covered with mercury toxins in the final search.
Even the rouge used by the queen contains a large amount of mercury sulfide.
In fact, the natural mercury sulfide is cinnabar. Cosmetics contain poison, which has existed in ancient and modern times, but such a deadly chronic toxin is not in the normal range.
