Chapter 373 Investigating the Truth
In the morning of the next day, Qi Yunhao went to the palace to pick up the doctor first, and seeing that Liuli hadn't woken up, he ordered Ji Jiaoer to go to Banping Hutong to pick up Xu Yuan.

Coincidentally, Jin Xuan also heard Xu Yuan talk about what happened yesterday, and when Ji Jiaoer went to pick him up, Jin Xuan followed him into the mansion.In order to make it easier for them to enter and exit and to deliver food to Banping Hutong, Liuli had already asked Fan Yun to replace the corner gate here on the east side with his own people.

When Liuli got up, they were there, and after a bowl of tea, Qi Yunhao had already brought the doctor back home.Liuli asked Yizheng first: "Have you heard of the poison of Youquan?"

When the doctor came, Qi Yunhao didn't confide a word, only said that Liuli felt a little unwell, and invited him to come for a pulse diagnosis.Hearing her question, the doctor carefully observed her complexion, thinking that she had been poisoned.Liuli hurriedly said: "I'm not poisoned, sir don't need to worry about it. To tell you the truth, the general invited you here today to inquire about this secluded spring. Please let me know how much the doctor knows about this poison. "

The doctor glanced at Qi Yunhao, then at Xu Yuan and Jinxuan who were present, and saw the dignified expressions on everyone's faces, so he couldn't help becoming more cautious, and said: "Your official only knows that the poison of Youquan is said to be produced in the Western Regions. Sex is extremely unique, some people can't find it out after taking it for a lifetime, but some people will suddenly die of poison after a few years, Xiaguan once heard about it from his teacher when he was young, but he has never been in medicine for decades I’ve seen it with my own eyes, but it’s just a legend, it’s not true if there is such a thing.”

Liuli nodded, "Then I don't know what kind of poison my lord thinks the poison in the Holy Master's body is caused by?"

The doctor was stroking his beard and meditating for a while, then suddenly he raised his eyes and looked at Liuli with radiant eyes.

Liuli was as calm as before, and she fixed her eyes on him.

"Madam, do you mean that the poison in the Holy Master's body is the secluded spring?" He stood up abruptly, forgetting etiquette in his desperation, pointing his finger at Liuli.

Liuli stood up, "I'm not good at medicine, so I have to be judged by adults. I have a senior here who has seen Youquan, if you have any questions, please ask him." She pointed at Xu Yuan, "This is My cousin, surnamed Xu."

Xu Yuan stood up and cupped his hands at the doctor, "Youquan's medicinal effect is to destroy the blood quality and damage the lungs. May I ask my lord how the blood condition is now?"

Practitioners of medicine encounter difficulties, just like those who study literature meet a good teacher. When the doctor heard that Xu Yuan knew the medicinal properties of Youquan, his expression was already very serious, and he hurriedly said: "As the master said, I am here ten years ago. Then he found that the blood image of the Holy Spirit had deteriorated and was damaged. At that time, it looked like it had been corroded by a small amount of arsenic for a long time, so he washed his meridians once with the method of exchanging blood. It is said that if the body is poisoned by arsenic, it is very effective to treat it with this method. After being treated by the sage, there is little effect, and the next one is also puzzled."

Xu Yuan nodded: "The symptoms of the poison of Youquan are indeed very similar to arsenic in the body, but its medicinal effect is more than ten times stronger than that of arsenic. Otherwise, it would not be easy to find its trace in the world. Except In addition, there is actually another place that can be verified, that is, the back of the patient's ear will be faintly purple."

The doctor hurriedly said: "But there are bruising marks on both sides, which are the size of a fingernail at first, and then expand with time?"

Xu Yuan nodded: "It will indeed grow bigger with time."

The doctor took a deep breath, and raised his head heavily, "As the master said, the poison that the Holy Majesty was poisoned is undoubtedly the secluded spring!" After speaking, he suddenly stared at Xu Yuan again and said, "Then since the master knows this Poison, I don’t know if you know where the antidote is? Although the Holy Majesty has no cure, if there is an antidote, he can last for another month or two! At least he can guarantee that he can speak!”

Things have come to the present stage, suddenly like a willow tree, and he can't care about his scruples.

Xu Yuan glanced at Qi Yunhao, Qi Yunhao stood up, and said: "I have a medicine here, but I am not sure whether it can relieve the poison of the Holy One. I specially brought you here today to verify this. Can you Is there a way to test whether the medicine is the antidote without putting the Holy Majesty at any risk?"

The doctor thought for a while, stroked his beard and said: "We want to try the antidote, and it won't hurt the Holy Spirit's body. If someone is also poisoned by this poison, it will be easy to deal with."

Xu Yuan and Jin Xuan looked at each other, and said in unison: "Now that we don't have the poison of the secluded spring, how can we let others suffer from it?"

Yizheng said: "The Holy Majesty has been poisoned by the poison for decades, and now the blood has deteriorated, and it has already been highly poisonous. Whoever drinks this blood will immediately get sick without waiting for decades. We only need to vomit the fresh blood of the Holy Majesty. Let the cats and dogs drink the blood, and then feed it the antidote when it is poisoned, and see if it is effective."

"This is a great plan!"

Liuli nodded, "Just how can we bring cats and dogs to Qianqing Palace?"

Qi Yunhao thought for a while, and said: "The empress's people are also guarding the palace now, even if we bring them in, we may not have a chance to pass the test. It is better to bring the blood back to the house and feed it. - I will enter the palace right away." , Yizheng and stay here, Yizhen, tell Fan Yun to catch some cats, I will be back soon."

After giving the instructions, he went out, so Liuli naturally called Fan Yun over and told him not to mention it.

In Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Mei heard Xiangying say that Qi Yunhao brought the doctor back early in the morning, and then hurried out the door, and she was also very puzzled, "Could it be that the little bitch is really sick? Already?" This is not impossible, women are prone to fall into trouble during confinement, and recently there have been voices of maids and servants yelling from time to time in Chaoqingtang, it must be that she has come up with some tricks, so come here, It's normal to have something accidentally.

Xiangying pondered for a while, but frowned and said: "The slave girl doesn't look like much. When the slave girl passed the second gate in the morning, she met their steward Fan Yun. Fan Yun was directing Lu Ke to move paper and pens into the yard. Ill, the whole Chaoqing Hall has long been in a panic, how could Fan Yun be so relaxed, come out in person and let someone move these?"

"Then if it's not sick, what is it?" Mei put down the ginseng soup and asked in doubt.

The courtyard of Chaoqingtang was as defensive to her as a barbarian, not to mention going in to see what was going on, even standing under the wall to listen was impossible.She said that Xiangying should go and stare at the long room, but it was just to catch some clues from their words and deeds when they left the hospital.

"By the way," she turned around suddenly, looked at Xiangying and said, "Doesn't Mulan also live in Dongkuayuan? Tell her to go to the gate of the backyard of Chaoqingtang if she has nothing to do, and see if she can find any clues." .Let her be smart and don't get into friction with the long room at this moment."

Xiangying nodded, bowed and went.

Sure enough, Qi Yunhao quickly returned home with a jar of stinky blood.Liuli couldn't help vomiting when she smelled it.Qi Yunhao asked Ling Lan to help her back to her room, and then began to test the medicine.Let Fan Yun catch a cat and pour the blood into a small bowl. The cat was fine at first, but after about half an hour, it began to twitch, with a howling sound in its throat, struggled for a while, and then fell to the ground. There is also bleeding from the nose and mouth.

Xu Yuan quickly took two mandalas, dissolved them in water, and poured them down the cat's throat.After waiting for a while, Mao'er's eyes were no longer so dull, and gradually became brighter. After another half a moment, the voice in his throat became much clearer.Fan Yun caught it and tried to make it stand up, but it staggered a few steps, and finally managed to stand still!
"Great!"

Everyone present was excited.Qi Yunhao suppressed the impulse in his heart, and tried the remaining cats one by one, and sure enough, after the antidote was taken, they all stood up without exception, and within half an hour, they were able to walk again!

"This medicine is indeed the antidote for Youquan!" The doctor excitedly concluded.He stood up and prayed to Yun Hao and said: "General, let's quickly send the medicine to the palace for the Holy Majesty to take! The Holy Majesty wakes up early, it is the blessing of you and me, and the blessing of the world!"

Looking at the direction of the palace, Qi Yunhao frowned and said: "It's not right now, apart from our guards in Qianqing Palace, there are also the Queen's personal soldiers. With them, no matter what medicine can reach the Holy Master's mouth. At this moment, they both You can’t murder the Holy Majesty under our noses, but you won’t watch us rescue him. To give the Holy Majesty medicine, you can only wait until they take over the shift.”

"Then when will they hand over?"

Liuli heard that Mandala was confirmed to be Youquan's nemesis, so she also came back at this time.

Qi Yunhao said: "Handover happens every day, but only every three nights, they will have a big handover. At that time, we have a little time to distract their attention and deliver the medicine to the mouth of the Holy One."

"Tomorrow night?"

Liuli felt melancholy, now that she had found a solution, every second of waiting would be a torment.And how do people get through this day and night?
Qi Yunhao nodded, "It's not a trivial matter. We have to arrange the matter after the Holy One wakes up, otherwise the queen may be forced to kill him after he wakes up. We not only need to detoxify, but also Lay all the back roads well, only in this way will you not mess up the position and let people take advantage of it. ——I will send the doctor back first, Yizhen, you put away the medicine first, and Fan Yun will send the two uncles back first. In the past few days I'm afraid there will be some chaos, I've lived in the house for a long time and I'm afraid people will stare at it, you go back and clean it up first, and then I'll ask someone to transfer you to another place."

Xu Yuan and Jin Xuan nodded, opened their mouths and sighed, "You have to be careful about everything."

Qi Yunhao nodded, gave Li Xing a few more instructions, and then sent the doctor to go out.

Here, Liuli put the mandala away properly, then went back to her room and lay down, only pretending to be nothing to tease the little Dulu, but her heart was beating like a rabbit, and the few confidantes who had been with her for a long time After staying from the side for a while, I also saw it.But because she didn't let them know about it from the beginning to the end, they couldn't figure it out.
