Concubine

Chapter 426 A Puddle of Vomit

Yang Qiuchi sat in the middle, Song Yuner stood behind him, Nan Gongxiong and the other six guards stood on both sides.It was said that Wang Sicai came in and sat down. Yang Qiuchi asked: "Wang Sicai, I am investigating the mysterious death of the concubine Xian under the emperor's imperial order. I have some questions to ask you. You have to answer them truthfully, understand?"

Wang Sicai said with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty understands, and must report the truth."

"Alright then, tell me in detail what happened on the day Concubine Xian died."

"Yes." Wang Sicai was a little nervous, licked his tongue, and said with some pride: "I have a bit of poetic talent, and once wrote a palace poem in praise of the concubine Xian, which was appreciated by the emperor and the concubine Xian. Gongci is written like this: "Wang Sicai cleared his throat and sang softly:

Qionghua moved into Daming Palace,
Charming and fragrant evening breeze.

To win the king's chariot,
The jade flute is loud and bright in the moonlight.

After singing the palace ci, Wang Sicai looked at Yang Qiuchi complacently, expecting him to applaud, but unexpectedly, Yang Qiuchi didn't have many poetic cells in his head. Others feel nothing.In addition, the palace words were sung, and Monk Zhang Er was even more confused, and he still stared at her coldly.

Wang Sicai was a little embarrassed, and quickly put away her smug smile, and continued: "The emperor went to Mobei this time, and let the officials and the concubine go on the same chariot. The emperor returned from the victory, and returned to Lincheng, Shandong on July [-]th. Before, Concubine Xian was doing fine all the way. On the day we arrived in Lincheng, it was already dark, the army camped, and the Emperor and Concubine Xian stayed at the Lincheng station."

Yang Qiuchi interrupted and asked, "Is there anyone else living in the station?"

"No, only the emperor, the concubine Xian, and the accompanying eunuchs and maids, including me, lived in the whole inn. It was very hot that night, and the emperor and the empress were talking in the shade in the courtyard, and I was by the side. Refreshing, the emperor and the empress went back to sleep, and I went back to sleep. Early the next morning, before I got up, Lian Er, the empress's personal maid, came to my room in a panic and called me. It is said that the mother is sick, and she can't wake up when she is lying on the bed. As soon as I go, it is true, and I am scared stupid."

"Tell me carefully, the appearance of the concubine Xian at that time." Yang Qiuchi said.

Wang Sicai raised her head and thought for a while: "She was lying sideways on the bed, her eyes were staring, and there was a puddle of vomit around her mouth. Later, when two imperial physicians came to treat her, they found that the empress had... gone. As for the cause of death, the two of them also muttered for a long time, and finally said that they died of a sudden illness."

Die from a sudden illness?Sudden death or suppressed death?If it is a sudden death caused by a heart and brain disease, it can be detected, but if it is a suppressed death, it will be troublesome. Suppressed death is not uncommon in forensic science. It is not organic, so there is no corresponding trace evidence in morphology.

However, whether Concubine Xian died suddenly or suppressed, it is impossible to draw a conclusion based on Wang Sicai's explanation alone.

Yang Qiuchi nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Aside from you, Lian Er and the two imperial physicians, was there anyone else present?"

"At first, Lian Er came to call me, then I asked her to call the imperial physician, then the emperor came, and then two imperial physicians also came, by the way, and the eunuch Jin Liang, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the eunuch Jin Liang. Later, some eunuchs came , court lady, but that’s all after Concubine Xian has lost her breath.”

"Okay, I'll ask you so much first, and I may have more questions to ask you in the future. You can't leave the palace until the truth of this matter is investigated. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand." Wang Sicai replied with his head down.

After leaving Si Cai's office, Yang Qiuchi and his party went straight to Tai Hospital.

The imperial hospital is not in the imperial palace, but on the side of the imperial road of Wulong Bridge outside the imperial palace, together with the six yamen.

As soon as I entered the Tai Hospital, a strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine wafted over.Yang Qiuchi liked the smell very much, so he took a deep breath before stepping into the garden.

When the envoy of the Tai Hospital heard that Jin Yiwei's acquaintance, Yang Houye, had arrived and wanted to investigate the case, he came out in a panic. He was the highest leader of the Tai Hospital, but he was only a fifth rank, and he was far behind Yang Qiuchi.Jin Yiwei came to look for him, maybe there was something wrong with him, why didn't he panic.

Asked to sit down in the living room, Yang Qiuchi didn't say much, and directly called the hospital envoy to call the imperial physicians Gao De and Ai Heng who were treating the concubine Xian at that time.

Since Concubine Xian's sudden death, these two imperial physicians have been sitting on pins and needles. Although the emperor hasn't caused any trouble for them, they have faintly sensed that something is wrong. Happy or sad, the spirit is almost broken.

Now when they suddenly heard Jin Yiwei's acquaintance Yang Hou Ye looking for him, the two imperial physicians almost lost their breath in fright.What kind of person is Jin Yiwei? Since the current emperor ascended the throne, they, like many people, have begun to understand the importance of this issue.

Unexpectedly, one day, they found themselves.

Two imperial doctors came to the office of the imperial hospital trembling.Glancing at Nangongxiong and the others in the flying fish suit, they were terrified and stood there trembling, not knowing where to put their hands and feet.

Yang Qiuchi asked someone to bring two stools for the two of them, and after they sat down, the court envoy sent someone to pour tea for them.There is no evidence to prove that the two imperial physicians are suspected of any crime, so questioning them is just questioning witnesses. In this case, if they are too frightened, their memory will be affected.Of course, this is not what Yang Qiuchi wanted.

Seeing Lord Yang's amiable face, the two imperial physicians felt a little more at ease, took a sip of tea, and looked at Yang Qiuchi with smiling faces.

Yang Qiuchi said: "I follow the emperor's imperial order to investigate the bizarre death of Concubine Xian. At that time, you two participated in the diagnosis and treatment of Concubine Xian as imperial physicians. I would like to ask you, how did Concubine Xian die?"

This question has been entangled in the minds of the two of them countless times, and when they get together in private, they often argue about this matter.At this moment when Master Yang asked, the two of them were stunned for a while.

After a while, Imperial Physician Gao De said: "The concubine Xian has experienced dizziness, tinnitus, vomiting, bone steaming and hot flashes, hot hands, feet and heart, red cheeks, night sweats, emaciated body, dry mouth, fond of cold drinks, and red tongue. For other diseases, I think that this is a disease of lung yin deficiency, and it should be treated with Radix Ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus, Radix Asparagus, and Rehmannia..."

"No and no!" Ai Heng shook his head again and again, "As early as the beginning of the expedition, the humble official took the pulse of the concubine Xian, and checked her pulse. There were frequent coughs, shortness of breath, less sticky phlegm, red cheeks, hot flashes, and night sweats. Less sleep, longing tongue crimson moss peeling off. This is a syndrome of yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire..."

"Brother, what you said is wrong." Gao De, the imperial physician, waved his hands again and again, with disdain on his face, "The concubine Xian is obviously suffering from a loss of lung yin, so why is she so hot?"

Ai Heng stood up abruptly: "Does Imperial Physician Gao underestimate the lowly position?"

Gao De raised his chest, flushed his neck like a fighting cock, and was about to speak.Yang Qiuchi patted the table: "Okay! What are you two doing! Sit down for me!"

Only then did the two of them sit back on the stool awkwardly, ignoring each other with their faces turned.

Yang Qiuchi roared: "Who told you to talk about Concubine Xian's previous illnesses? I am asking you, what symptoms did Concubine Xian have on the day she passed away? But you two are chattering and arguing about yin deficiency and lung damage, what are you doing? no?"

The two quickly turned around and glanced at each other, not daring to fight any more, after thinking about it, Gao De first said: "Return to the Marquis: That day when the two low-ranking men arrived in the concubine Xian's room, the concubine was no longer in the know, and had no pulse. Seeing that the lips are cherry red, vomiting and fainting, limp and paralyzed, the yin is injured and loses nourishment, the yin is exhausted and the yang is depleted, it is believed that the severe summer wind evil entered the interior and disturbed the gods, resulting in sudden illness and death."

This time Ai Heng didn't argue, and nodded repeatedly. It seems that the two agreed on the symptoms of Concubine Xian's death.

Yang Qiuchi didn't know much about Chinese medicine, and he couldn't understand the nonsense they talked about.Frowning, pondering for a long time, he asked: "You think that the concubine Xian died of a sudden illness because of wind evil, right?"

The two nodded at the same time.

"Did you see vomit around your mother's mouth?"

"Yes, the empress is lying on her side, with a puddle of vomit next to her mouth."

Yang Qiuchi's heart moved, and he quickly asked, "What about the vomit? Did you keep it?"

The two glanced at each other and shook their heads: "When we were dealing with the relics of the empress, they were all burned together."

These two quacks!Yang Qiuchi cursed secretly, it really made him dumbfounded that such an important clue was burned by them.I asked some other questions, but found no useful clues.

Leaving the imperial hospital, Yang Qiuchi and his party found the personal maid Lian Er who was serving the concubine Xian at that time.Because of the sudden death of Concubine Xian, although Ming Chengzu didn't blame the eunuchs and maids who served him, he also chilled them.Therefore, Lian'er followed a group of older court ladies to do some chores.When I found her, she was washing clothes in the handy room. In this cold day, her hands were red from the cold.

Hearing that Jin Yiwei asked her to investigate the case, Lian Er was almost paralyzed with fright.Trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.

It took Yang Qiuchi a long time to calm her down, and then he started to ask.Yang Qiuchi asked her to talk about what happened at that time first.

Although it has been half a year, Lian Er is still very scared when talking about this matter.After all, she is the personal maid of the Concubine Xian, and she has a much greater responsibility than other maids, court ladies, and eunuchs who serve the empress.Even though the two imperial physicians said that the empress died of a sudden illness, she still had no idea whether she was responsible for it and whether she would be implicated in the future.
