Chapter 202 Strange Poison in Southern Xinjiang
Under the soft white veil is the powerful pulse of the imperial concubine.
After Yun Xi's diagnosis, a pair of clear eyes revealed a bit of surprise: "Have you had a lot of discomforts in the past few years?"
The imperial concubine's coquettish indigo brows frowned slightly: "There is something wrong. Every time it is hot in the summer or cold in the winter, my whole body feels sore and tender, and my bones feel like they are deflated. I am very sad."
She also consulted the imperial doctor, but no diagnosis was made. He only said that it was caused by internal deficiency and cold syndrome.
"How many years?"
The more the imperial concubine talked, the darker Yun Xi's face became, causing her to become nervous unconsciously.
"It's been more than three years."
"At first, I just felt unwell, and then it gradually turned into an unstoppable pain in my bones. But I'm not like ordinary people in the cold and hot seasons, so I didn't pay attention to it, right?"
Everything Yun Xi said was true.
The imperial concubine straightened her body and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong with me?"
"The empress has been poisoned by the 'White Bone Incense' poison."
Yun Xi's bright white face was serious: "For more than three years, the poison has penetrated into the bones. If the girl hadn't discovered it today, I'm afraid that this winter, the poison would have penetrated into the bones and died."
Three years later, this was even more frightening than the previous incident where Concubine De was accidentally poisoned by someone close to her.
"How can it be more than three years?" The imperial concubine leaned on the soft couch, her sharp eyebrows becoming more and more intimidating: "Not to mention that the palace of this palace is like a copper wall and an iron wall, ordinary people will definitely not dare to enter..."
Yun Xi's eyes narrowed slightly: "There are subtle details inside, and I'm afraid I won't be able to guard against it."
"Not bad, not bad..."
The imperial concubine didn't care that Yun Xi was present, and immediately ordered Tianxing to summon everyone in the palace to prepare for torture and search for the poisoner!
When Yun Xi saw this, she immediately stopped her: "Mother, you must not do this!"
The imperial concubine's face turned cold: "What, you want to stop me?"
She is about to die soon, why should she let the person who persecutes her go?
"People's daughters don't dare. It's just that the empress has a phoenix body. It's not a while to catch the murderer, but we can't delay the detoxification."
Yun Xi said seriously: "'White Bone Incense' is not an ordinary poison, and the medicine required is even more complicated, so it needs to be prepared in advance."
It's not too late to resolve the matter of the body and bones first, and then look for the person who poisoned the body.
After Yun Xi reminded her, the imperial concubine finally realized that the most important thing now was not to catch the poisoner.
She rubbed her temples and said, "I am so angry that I am so angry. So, can you cure this poison?"
"People's girls are not talented, they are better at poisons."
White bone incense is a strange poison in southern Xinjiang. It is famous for its maggot-like tarsal maggots that can cause pain in the seams of people's bones, causing the poisoned person to die suddenly.
The most bizarre thing is that the bones of people who die from this poison will emit a sweet aroma of grass and trees after death. Because of its mysteriousness, it is also listed as the first of the top ten strange poisons by doctors.
"It can take many years, or even more than ten years, for a poisoned person to develop the poison. The empress's body bones will start to show signs of poisoning after three years, which is considered fast."
What Yun Xi said made the imperial concubine confused: "Are you praising me or cursing me?"
She glanced at the complete set of silver needles that Yun Xi took out, and her heart trembled for a moment.
The imperial concubine's small movements did not escape Yun Xi's eyes. She slightly arched her eyebrows and said, "My queen, don't be afraid. I am just using an acupuncture to check the severity of the poison so that I can give you a prescription."
There is a strange thing about "White Bone Incense": the more healthy the body and bones of a person, the faster the poison will develop; the more fragile the body and bones, the slower the time of sudden death will be.
Therefore, what Yun Xi just said was to praise the imperial concubine for her excellent body and bones.
Concubine: "...Your compliment is really rare."
It's like bragging about someone's life.
Yun Xi took out two small porcelain bottles from the bag, put them to the tip of her nose one by one and smelled them. Her delicate little nose wrinkled, and she accurately identified the concoction to be used. She then softly asked the imperial concubine to take off her clothes and lie down.
The imperial concubine held her own identity, was noble and cold, but was the master of "probe changing color". Even though she was already lying down, her tense hands and tightly closed eyes showed a bit of unconcealable nervousness.
"Is it tied up?"
Yun Xi didn't say a word, causing the imperial concubine to open her eyes and look over nervously, only to find that several rows of silver needles had already landed on the key points between her palms, arms, and neck... She didn't even feel anything, Yun Xi
Already starting to pull out the needles.
"The poison penetrates into the bone marrow, but it can still be cured."
After Yun Xi finished speaking, she said seriously: "I also ask your Majesty to ask for the Holy Medicine of the Southern Region, 'Chonglou'."
"'Re-construction property'?"
After applying the acupuncture, the imperial concubine looked at Yun Xi's profile as she sat at the table and concentrated on writing prescriptions. A bit of confusion filled her eyes: "Is there only one flower left in this flower palace?"
"Snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains", "Chonglou from Southern Xinjiang", and "Buddha's blood from the Ming Dynasty" are the three rarest medicinal materials in the world.
Since the imperial concubine could remember, the Southern Territory had paid tribute to three "Chonglou" flowers, one of which quickly dissipated in the inner treasury and had turned into powder when it was discovered.
The custodian had gained experience, and the remaining two "Chonglou" trees were easily put down. However, Princess Tianyu suddenly fell ill, and the palace doctor used medicine to save her.
In the end, there was only one "Chonglou" left in the inner library.
"If the emperor does not allow it..."
The imperial concubine pondered and hesitated. Although regarding the prince's matter, the imperial concubine had accepted her old responsibility for the fireworks field, but it was a national treasure, and she was really not sure of getting it.
"The imperial concubine is the biological mother of His Highness the Prince, and the emperor will definitely give it to the imperial concubine." Yun Xi persuaded her warmly.
"This matter does require some effort."
"I will first prescribe a prescription for the empress to stabilize the poison." To completely detoxify, "Chonglou" will be needed as the medicine.
Yun Xi put the written prescription on the table and said warmly: "Now, the empress can handle the internal affairs of the palace."
The imperial concubine glanced at Yun Xi with unknown meaning, and then raised her voice: "Tianxing, call all three of them."
The four maids around her are also her most trusted confidants. In addition to Tianxing and Zhuyue, there are also Liri and Yuchen.
Hearing the names of these four people, Yun Xi couldn't help but sigh: "'The sun, moon and stars compete with the sky for glory.'"
The imperial concubine is worthy of her family background, and she even did not hesitate to express Chi Guoguo's ambitions in the names of the four eldest maids.
"You are quite smart." The imperial concubine sneered when she heard this, "This is indeed the meaning of the names I gave these four girls."
Yun Xi smiled: "It's your Majesty who is so noble and impressive."
After Tianxing and the other four palace maids came to the house, they were all stunned for a moment when they heard Yun Xiyan explain the whole story of the imperial concubine's poisoning.
"How could that happen?"
The four of them looked at each other, and Tianxing couldn't help but said in pain: "Empress, I'm going to gather everyone in the yard and torture them! Let's see which little hooves dared to poison and murder the empress!"
"Miss Tianxing must not make a big show of it." Yun Xi said to stop her.
"You little girl, my wife has been poisoned in her own palace for three years. If we don't do a screening, how can we rest assured in the future?" Zhuyue was the first to speak.
"It is precisely because of the need for screening that we cannot alert the enemy."
Yun Xi is a doctor and a co-worker of the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice.
