Song Yi

Chapter 256
But when Wu Jieyu went crazy, she was not willing to let go, she held the knife tightly, desperately trying to break free.

When Du Wenhao was at his wit's end, he caught sight of the golden hairpin on Wu Jieyu's disheveled hair, quickly grabbed it and pulled it off, and raised his hand to stab Wu Jieyu's Quchi acupoint!
Wu Jieyu's right arm felt sore and numb, and she could no longer hold the knife in her hand. Du Wenhao took the opportunity to pry open her fingers, gently removed the knife, and threw it far away with all his might.

Wu Jieyu continued to struggle furiously, Du Wenhao had no choice but to grab her hands and feet and prick her feet with the golden hairpin at Linqi, Shenmen, Neiguan and Taichong points, calming the mind.

Finally, Wu Jieyu calmed down, panting heavily, looking at Du Wenhao with a pair of phoenix eyes.

Only then did Du Wenhao breathe out a sigh of relief, and comforted him softly: "Miss Jieyu, don't be afraid, I am Du Wenhao, an imperial physician, I can cure your illness, don't worry!"

Wu Jieyu's consciousness gradually cleared up, hearing his soft comforting voice, she couldn't help feeling sad and burst into tears.

This cry is so desperate and desolate, crying so much that his whole body twitches, as if he wants to vent all his grievances from this cry.

Eunuch Ye said in an old voice: "Your Majesty, it's all right. Mr. Du is here, and Mr. Du will treat you. Let Mrs. Du go so that he can treat your illness."

Wu Jieyu turned a deaf ear to it and just cried bitterly.Du Wenhao winked at the maids, and the maids hurriedly carried the empress to the bed.Du Wenhao turned his head and asked Ye Gonggong and those court ladies: "Why did your empress go crazy?"

Several court ladies glanced at each other, but couldn't explain clearly.

Du Wenhao asked again: "Did the lady take medicine or anything else before she became ill?"

Lamei thought for a while and said, "I didn't take the medicine, but I ate a pear that Jinju peeled."

Du Wenhao frowned: "Pears? Madam can't eat pears with this illness!"

Jinju timidly said: "Why? Isn't your mother a heat syndrome? My father said that pears can be cured."

Du Wenhao stared: "What do you know? Food tonic is also a medicine, and misuse will aggravate the condition!" Turning to Ye Gonggong, "From now on, you have to guard your mother closely, and don't give her any food that can reduce the fire. ! Remember!"

Eunuch Ye and the others bowed and agreed.

At this time, I heard the eunuch's voice from outside: "Master Fu Hefu is here!"

Du Wenhao walked to the window, quickly untied the cotton robe wrapped around his hand and threw it in the corner.

Eunuch Ye grabbed Wu Jieyu's hand and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, Master Fu is here to treat you. Don't worry, your health will definitely recover."

Wu Jieyu's body shook slightly, and she obediently lay back on the bed, her head turned inward and weeping.

Fu He opened the door curtain and walked in. He was startled when he saw the mess in the room, but he was not surprised when he saw Du Wenhao. Obviously he had to report that Du Wenhao was coming, so he came in a hurry.

Fu He cupped his hands and said, "Master Du, you came so fast!"

"I learned that Wu Jieyu suddenly went berserk, so I came here to take a look. I was ordered to serve the doctor in the harem. If something like this happened, I should come and take a look."

"That's right! I don't know why the empress went crazy?"

Du Wenhao said indifferently: "I have to ask you, Mrs. Fu, you are her doctor in charge. I just came to find out about the situation. In the future, if the Empress Dowager asks questions, I will have an explanation." Du Wenhao turned his head and looked Looking at Wu Jieyu, he continued, "Your Majesty suddenly went berserk. It's really strange. Mr. Fu, I'm afraid you should think about it carefully and find a good solution."

"Thank you, Mr. Du, for your advice. This old man is very grateful." Fu He hilariously laughed, "However, Mr. Du seems to be too conscientious."

"Hey, since Mr. Fu thinks I'm too busy, and you're here again, I'll take my leave." After finishing speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Du Wenhao's mysterious look, Fu He felt very uneasy for some reason.After the examination, he wrote a prescription and left.

Fu He walked very slowly, looked back, left behind a rockery, stopped and looked back, as if he was waiting for someone.

After a while, Chen Po followed hurriedly with a court lady Jinju, bowed to Fu He and said: "My old man, send my respects to Mr. Fu."

Fu He turned around sharply and stared at Chen Po viciously. Chen Po was startled, and immediately turned her head to stare at the maid: "Jin Ju, I asked you to give Wu Jieyu some pears, have you given them to her?"

"Yes!" The woman replied tremblingly, "According to your order, the servant watched her eat all of it."

Fu He's gloomy face didn't change at all.Grandma Chen raised her hand and slapped Jin Ju across the face, "Eat it?! Why is she alright after eating it?"

"It was really eaten. She went berserk and beat people. She beat people with a knife. It was Du Wenhao who came and cured her. It's not a villain's business."

"None of your business?" Chen Po raised her hand to strike again.

"Forget it! She didn't lie. Judging from Wu Jieyu's madness, it should be because of eating pears."

Grandma Chen accompanied her with a smile and said, "Master Fu is a genius doctor. He just let this rambunctious man eat a pear and let her go crazy like this. It's amazing! Hey, it's really strange, there's no poison in this pear. Why did the prodigal hooves eat like this?"

"You all know about poisoning!" Fu He sneered a little complacently, "You don't know that Wu Jieyu's illness is actually a false heat and a real cold, and the heat is an illusion! It is actually a cold syndrome! It is supposed to support the Yang, but this Time to give pears that nourish yin and cool, increase the internal cold, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, making things worse, that's why she went crazy. Hehe. Do you understand? Killing people with healing medicine is called cleverness!"

Both Chen Po and Jin Ju smiled coquettishly and kept praising Fu He's brilliance.

Fu He said: "I use this method to aggravate her cold syndrome, and secondly, to test how well Wu Jieyu's illness is!" Fu He glanced at Chen Po and Jin Ju, Slowly said: "Du Wenhao must have also seen that Wu Jieyu is a fake hot and really cold, deliberately pretending to be wrong, there must be ghosts in it! It can be concluded that Wu Jieyu's condition has improved, this Du Wenhao must have done something behind You two let him succeed while staring helplessly, what are you doing for food?"

Both Chen Po and Jin Ju lowered their heads and remained silent.

Fu He folded his hands behind his back and said coldly: "If Wu Jieyu's illness is so unclear, and Empress Chen Meiren blames it, you two can cut off your head and make amends!"

Chen Po and Jin Ju were so frightened that they fell to their knees with a thud, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Jin Ju said: "This servant suspects that Eunuch Ye is playing tricks!"

Fu He raised his leg and kicked: "You still have to doubt it? This old guy must have done it! The question is, what the hell did this old guy do? Have you found out?
Granny Chen gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Please give me some more time, my lord. I will definitely catch this old man's tricks!"

"Well, I will trust you again. Remember, if Wu Jieyu doesn't die, you two must die!"

"Yes! I remember it!" Mrs. Chen kowtowed.

----------------

In the middle of the night, the small door at the side of Zhaoqian Palace opened silently, and the petite figure of Wu Jieyu's personal maid, Lamei, flashed out, and under the cover of darkness, she quietly came to a rockery not far from the courtyard wall. See no one, got into the rockery.

After a while, she came out again. She had a small paper bag in her hand, put it in her arms, trotted back to the side door, and closed the door behind her.

Lamei hurried back to the bedroom, entered her hut, and closed the door.Remove a casserole dish from under the bed.He took out the small sealed paper package from his arms and carefully tore it open, but it turned out to be a package of herbs.There is also a small note inside, writing the method of processing.

After Lamei finished reading, she burned the note, poured the medicine into the casserole, added cold water, and started to decoct the medicine.

After a while, the medicine was cooked, and the casserole was taken down and set aside. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, took off his clothes and went to bed with the light on.

She didn't realize that from the time she went out to get the medicine to decocting it, there was a pair of cold eyes peeping at her from the dark.

Early the next morning, under the supervision of Granny Chen, the medicine Fu He prescribed for Empress Wu Jieyu was ready, and Granny Chen brought it to Wu Jieyu's bedroom in person.

Lamei supported Wu Jieyu to sit up, gave her a backrest to lean against the head of the bed, took the medicine bowl from Granny Chen, tried the soup, it was just right.

At this moment, she heard a bang behind her, and Grandma Chen hurriedly turned around to see that the teapot on the table had fallen to the ground and was smashed into pieces.Eunuch Ye at the table smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I didn't pay attention, I knocked over the teapot..."

Chen Po sneered, her plump body moved suddenly, and with a swipe, she arrived in front of Jieyu's bed, and with a flick of her hand, she firmly grasped Lamei's wrist by the bed. —— Lamei's two hands are holding two medicine bowls, both of which are full of decoction!
Chen Po laughed loudly: "Little brat, how dare you play tricks in front of the old man? I said, why did your mother suddenly go crazy? It turns out that you secretly replaced the soup medicine of your mother! You want to die!" She grabbed two bowls of medicine between her hands and kicked her legs. , raised Lamei a somersault.

Wu Jieyu said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Chen Po said: "Your Majesty, this little girl is playing tricks, trying to secretly exchange the medicine Master Fu prescribed for you! Your Majesty went crazy earlier, it must have been caused by this little girl! I have to capture her and investigate!"

As soon as Po Chen waved her hand, several of her attendants immediately rushed up, pulled out the ropes that had been prepared, and tied Lamei tightly.Grandma Chen turned around and stared at Eunuch Ye, waved her hand, and several eunuchs and court ladies who followed rushed over again, pushed Eunuch Ye down, and tied him up.

Chen Po sniffed another bowl of decoction snatched from Lamei's hand, her expression changed slightly, she put down the bowl of decoction, picked up the previous bowl, and brought it to Empress Wu Jieyu: "Madam, first Take your medicine!"

Wu Jieyu took the bowl of medicine with trembling hands, looked at Granny Chen, and slowly brought it to her mouth.

Chen Po smiled and said: "Your Majesty, drink it quickly, this medicine can help you recover sooner!"

Wu Jieyu straightened up suddenly, and threw a bowl of thick black soup in her hand towards Granny Chen!

As soon as Mrs. Chen stepped back, the soup bowl shattered and fell to the ground, shattering into countless pieces!

Wu Jieyu hissed: "Despicable! You are trying to murder me with drugs, shameless! Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"

Chen Po smiled and said: "Madam, you made a mistake. The medicine I sent me was prescribed by Mr. Fu from the Tai Hospital. The reason why you fell ill is that the two bad guys Lamei and Ye Gonggong are behind it! There must be someone behind this Those who plan and direct, ma'am, don't worry, leave it to the old man, and the old man will let them truthfully confess the real culprit behind the scenes."

Furious and anxious, Wu Jieyu pointed at Chen Po, her eyes darkened and she passed out on the bed.

Chen Po said to Jin Ju: "Go quickly, pour another bowl of soup and medicine, and give it to your mother!"

At this moment, there was a light cough from behind: "Don't do this, the empress has passed out, and she will choke if forced hard! When the empress wakes up and understands the reason, she will naturally drink the medicine."

When Chen Po and Jin Ju turned their heads, they found that it was Fu He, the judge of the imperial hospital, standing at the door with his gray beard.The two quickly agreed and stepped aside.

Chen Po said: "Lord Du, Eunuch Ye and Lamei have changed their positions and changed the medicine of the empress. No wonder the empress is always unable to cure her. What should I do?"

Fu He smiled lightly: "Mother-in-law, this old man is only sentenced by the imperial hospital. How can he decide this kind of thing? However, from the old man's point of view, my mother-in-law was sent by Chen Meiren to protect Empress Wu Jieyu. Naturally, you have to investigate clearly, otherwise, if Madam Chen asks, how will you explain it?"

Chen Po laughed triumphantly like an owl, and nodded repeatedly.

Fu He said again: "Although this old man has no right to interrogate them, this old man has to ask why they want to secretly change his medicine. Therefore, when my mother-in-law interrogates them, this old man wants to listen in, is it noncommittal?"

"That's natural!" Chen Po nodded and bowed, then waved and ordered that Eunuch Ye and Lamei be tied up and taken to the center of the yard.

Chen Po's entourage brought two chairs for Fu He and Chen Po to sit on.Chen Po's fat face was drawn, and she stared at Ye Gonggong fiercely: "You old thief, you are so courageous, you dare to give your mother medicine without permission. Make trouble in secret, forgive me you old fellow don't have the guts, who instigated it, and if you don't ask for it, you won't suffer from flesh and blood!"

Eunuch Ye smiled lightly: "I don't understand what you said."

Chen Po sneered, and punched and kicked Eunuch Ye.

At any time, she asked: "Tell me, who gave you the medicine you changed for your mother? If you don't recruit, old lady, I have plenty of means to make your life worse than death!"

However, Eunuch Ye was calm, knowing that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe today, so it would be better to let this ruthless woman and that hypocrite Fu He, who is like a snake and a scorpion, put himself to death: "My surname is Fu, you deliberately misdiagnosed and used drugs indiscriminately. , just wanted to kill our empress, let me tell you, your plot will not succeed! God has eyes!"

Fu He smiled faintly: "I know even if you don't tell me, the person who instigated you to change the medicine was Du Wenhao who was sentenced by the Supreme Hospital! Isn't that right?"

Both Eunuch Ye and Lamei were shocked, looked at each other, and said in unison: "No!"

"Is it clear in your heart!"

With a wave of Fu He's hand, a court lady came over with a smirk, looked at Ye Gonggong and Jin Ju, bowed to address He and said, "Master Fu, it was the one surnamed Du who ordered them to change their dressings. This servant can testify!"

Eunuch Ye laughed back angrily, and said: "What an ungrateful slave, a few days ago, the empress told me to prepare some dowry for you, and when next spring, tell the queen, and then let you go out of the palace to marry Huh, who would have thought that you would be a villain who betrayed his master, bah!"

Eunuch Ye spit on her face, Jin Ju gave Ye Eunuch a hard look, and said with a sneer, "Who cares! You still told the truth about how the surname Du ordered you to change the medicine. Forgive me, and I will spare the lives of both of you."

Both Eunuch Ye and Jin Ju spat hard on Jin Ju's face.

Fu He said impatiently: "Okay, don't talk nonsense anymore, Jin Ju will tell me what you saw in front of this old man, and see if he still denies it. As long as this testimony is sent to Chen Meiren The empress will decide for herself. Those who dream of murdering empress Wu Jieyu will never end well!"

Jin Ju wiped the spittle off her face and replied: "A few days ago, this old guy named Ye invited the one named Du to see his wife. At first, the one named Du refused, but then Eunuch Ye invited him again, and he came. , as soon as he comes, the empress will recover from her illness."

After hearing this, Eunuch Ye couldn't help laughing, Fu He's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"

"Is this what Jinju saw? I admit that Master Du came here, and Master Fu also saw it. He didn't come to treat your mother. Jinju, did you see that Master Du prescribed a prescription? Did you see him instructing us to change the medicine?" ?”

"This..." Jin Ju was at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Fu He whispered, "Idiot."

Seeing that Fu He was angry, Jin Ju said in panic: "Although the servant did not see Du's instigation, I saw Lamei take out a pack of medicine from behind the rockery, go back to the house and boil it, and put it on the bedside of the empress' room. The curtain blocked it, and then Eunuch Ye deliberately distracted Granny Chen and us so that Lamei could change the decoction. Empress Jieyu's condition has improved in the past few days, it must be because of the change of this medicine..."

Snapped!
Fu He stood up and slapped Jin Ju across the face.

Ye Gonggong couldn't help laughing when he heard Jin Ju's slip of the tongue: "That's right, you're right! Fu He, you prescribe randomly on purpose, so the more you drink your medicine, the more you get sicker. After changing the medicine, the mother's illness got better and better! Hahaha, doesn't this prove that you, Fu He, are playing tricks in there? The person who should be interrogated should be you!"

Fu He's face turned blue and white, waved his hand, pointed to the two little eunuchs beside him, and said loudly: "Hit me, hit me hard! I don't believe that I can't pry this old slave's mouth open! Make sure he confesses how Du planned and directed the murder of Wu Jieyu! Hit!"

The two maids rushed up and whipped Eunuch Ye.

Eunuch Ye passed out quickly.

The two young eunuchs put down their whips, and one of them stepped forward to sniff, hurriedly walked to Fu He with his eyes closed, and said cautiously: "Master Fu, Eunuch Ye... His breath is very weak, I'm afraid he can't bear it."

Fu He opened one eye and squinted at the eunuch.The eunuch startled him and backed away hastily.

Chen Po said: "My lord, how about first interrogating Lamei, I have a way to get her to confess that the surname Du ordered her to change her medicine and murder Wu Jieyu!"

"Well, you can try it."

Chen Po went to a crooked ancient pine and broke off the branch.Holding the branch and walking to Lamei, she sneered sinisterly and said, "Guess how I'll deal with you?"

Lamei stared at the sinister old woman viciously, and spat fiercely: "You dog thief! Kill me if you have the ability! If you use these shady tricks, I will never let you go, you old godly woman, you I'm too old, I can't live for a few days, and I won't be reincarnated after I die. I will wait for you in the underworld. Let's go to the Lord Yama to reason. Never be reborn!"

"Do you want to see Hades? Hehe, don't worry, I will let you die, but before you die, you have to suffer a lot! After all, did you choose to report the surname Du to instruct you to change your medicine and murder Wu Jieyu? Or is life worse?" die?"

Lamei hissed frantically: "You old witch! Go to hell! Mr. Du is a good person, she is the one who really cares about your mother. You want me to help frame him together, dreaming! Bah!"

"Okay! Let's see how long you can keep your mouth shut!" Granny Chen wanted to make a move.

"Stop!" A voice shouted from afar.

Chen Po, Fu He and others turned their heads and saw a person rushing from the direction of the gate.
