The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 94 Questions
Chang Guogong Liang Guang was holding his breath in his heart. He was resting at home, and rushed over after Tao Ran's invitation.

When Tao Ran sent someone to invite him, he told Liang Guang that someone had beaten the Dengwen Drum, which involved the royal clan, so Tao Ran invited him to come over.

Although he is in charge of the Clan Mansion in name, all the specific affairs are handed over to the Ministry of Rites to manage, and because the vassal kings from all over the place killed each other during Ruizong's time, there are only a few local vassal kings left today.

These vassal kings were afraid of arousing the suspicion of the emperor, and they stayed quietly in the fief on weekdays, for fear that any rumors would reach the capital.

Liang Guang originally thought that it was another trivial matter where the feudal lord competed with the people for profit, but he didn't realize until later that what was waiting for him turned out to be such a trivial matter.

King Wei is the master that none of the censors dare to provoke, how can he talk to such an idle duke?

It’s already here, and it’s absolutely impossible to leave again. Liang Guang cast a sidelong glance at Tao Ran, and said angrily, “Master Tao, if you want to ask, just keep asking. I’m just afraid, it’s easy for you to start and end.”

Tao Ran smiled awkwardly, and asked Qiu Guangzu, Minister of Dali Temple, "Master Qiu, what do you have to say?"

Qiu Guangzu snorted coldly, and said, "I'm just here to listen in. Master Tao, please do your own thing and don't listen to my ideas."

Tao Ran scolded the two of them in his heart, settled his mind, and announced the opening of the class.

He first asked Luo Ying to repeat the words of the petition, and then said: "Concubine Shizi, you said that Prince Wei's son poisoned you, do you have evidence?"

Since Luo Ying entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, she never described her misery like other complainants, instead she always had a decent smile on her face.

When Tao Ran asked her again, she smiled and said, "Of course there is evidence. The witness is Miss Lin. After I passed out from poisoning two days ago, it was Miss Lin who came to Luo's residence to treat me."

Tao Ran looked at Lin Zisu again, and saw that she was young and delicate, and she didn't look like a doctor at all, but he still asked, "Ms. Lin, the imperial concubine said you are the witness, what is your answer?"

"The concubine Shizi is right. I did heal her poison. I see concubine Shizi's hair is black in heaven, her hair is crystallized, and her pulse is scattered. It is a pulse of godlessness. Therefore, I dare to conclude that concubine Shizi is caused by poisoning. At present, the concubine is still suffering from poisoning." There is toxicity in Shi Zifei's body, if your lord doesn't believe it, you can find someone to test it."

Tao Ran nodded, raised his eyes and asked: "From Miss Lin's words, there is some truth. I don't know where the teacher came from. Which medical center is he working in now?"

Lin Zisu said: "My grandfather used to work in the Imperial Hospital, and I am currently an apprentice at the Sun Family Medical Center on Huifeng Street."

There were a few people listening outside the door who didn't believe that Lin Zisu was a doctor, but when he mentioned the Sun Family Clinic, two of them remembered it, and one of them woke up like a dream, and said, "It turns out that this is the doctor." Girl, I remembered, it's her! At such a young age, her medical skills are very good. Aunt Zhao's grandson was hit by a horse, and she healed her!"

The news spread outside the hall immediately, but Tao Ran in the main hall didn't take it seriously. After hearing Lin Zisu's answer, he said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Although Miss Lin speaks clearly and logically, she is too young and only an apprentice after all.

People speak lightly, no matter how much they say, it will not be able to convince the public, let alone report it to the emperor as a basis.

No matter what, it must be an imperial doctor, so that it will be convincing.Besides, imperial physicians also know what can and cannot be said, and it is best to get this matter out of the way.

But the imperial physicians all treat the emperor's relatives and relatives. He is a foreign official, and without the emperor's order, he would never hire an imperial physician.

Tao Ran thought of Liang Guang beside him. As the elder brother of the empress, Duke Chang also had a sense of face in the imperial hospital, so he said to Liang Guang: "My lord, the case has come to this trial. Look, do you have to invite a prince?" The doctor from the hospital is here."

Liang Guang had already made up his mind that he must not interfere in this matter.He pretended not to hear, turned sideways and said to Tao Ran: "Master Tao, I've been deaf for the past two days, what did you just say?"

Tao Ran felt another slander in his heart. It seems that the imperial doctor can't be invited, so invite a famous person to come over. At worst, he can stop others' mouths, and immediately said: "Come here, go invite the person from the Qianjin Hall across the way." Doctor Lu, come here."

Not long after, Dr. Lu came in with a medicine box. Dr. Lu had white beard and hair, a ruddy complexion, and looked like an expert.

Presumably, he also knew Qiu Guangzu, and after bowing to Liang Guang, he bowed to Qiu Guangzu again, chatting in chatter.

Tao Ran said impatiently: "Mr. Lu, let's cut the long story short, the Shizi Concubine is sick, go and see what the illness is."

Dr. Lu heard that the person sitting across from him was the Shizi Concubine, so he quickly saluted again.After the salute was over, he took his time to see a doctor for Luo Ying.After a quarter of an hour, Dr. Lu still had no conclusions, Tao Ran was a little anxious, and asked: "Dr. Lu, how is the body of the concubine, what can you see?"

"The eyes are dull and the pulse condition is vacant. It should be the lack of lung qi, um, the lack of lung qi." Dr. Lu took the pulse with one hand, stroked the snow-white goatee with the other, and said to himself: "The imperial concubine is weak. Tonic is."

Tao Ran, Liang Guang, and Qiu Guangzu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard what Dr. Lu said.

Since the concubine Shizi was not poisoned, it was not a big deal, probably because there was some quarrel between the husband and wife, the concubine Shizi was so angry that she came over to beat the Dengwen drum.

Although there is a law that anyone who beats the drum to accuse falsehoods will be punished with a [-] stick, but for the sake of false alarm, Tao Ran doesn't want to make any further complications, and just wants to settle the case as soon as possible.

He smiled and said to Luo Ying: "Concubine Shi, youdao is a one-day husband and wife with a hundred days of grace. Since you are in good health, please go back. Chang Guogong is in charge of the clan affairs, and he will come forward to replace your husband and wife in another day." How about talking?"

Luo Ying was still waiting for Dr. Lu's pulse, ignoring Tao Ran's words.

Liang Guang heard that Tao Ran brought this matter to him again, his face was worried, and he was about to reprimand him.Tao Ran made a decisive decision without giving him a chance to speak, and said: "The Duke is in charge of many people, please don't refuse such a trivial matter."

Although Tao Ran was in a hurry to close the case, in order to show his prudence, he still pretended to ask, "Doctor Lu, what else do you want to say?"

Dr. Lu had just had his pulse checked over there. When he heard Tao Ran's question, he stood up, shook his head and said, "Master Tao, the concubine's lungs are insufficient. The cause of it seems to be poisoned by a strange poison. It's slow, but it's extremely vicious, taking people's lives without knowing it. Concubine Shizi, it's thanks to you for meeting this old man, otherwise, the consequences... well, the consequences are unpredictable!"
