Chapter 224 Tie Lotus (Part [-])

Achun quickly invited Dr. Zhang over. Dr. Zhang was already over fifty years old. Perhaps he had taken good care of himself and could still walk as fast as flying. But even so, Achun still felt that he was walking slowly, "Doctor Zhang, hurry up!"

"Oh, Miss Achun, I'm a lot older, how can I be like you? Slower, you'll have time, you'll have time!"

"It's too late! If anything happens to my young lady, I will never let you off lightly."

The two of them almost rushed to Zhusang. This time, it can be seen that Achun seems to be loyal, but it is not guaranteed to be an act. After all, Zhusang was not poisoned, which means that the poisoning failed.

Doctor Zhang took his pulse, frowned and said nothing for a long time. Ah Chun was a little anxious, "Mr. Zhang, how is my lady doing? Please speak up!"

"This...Miss Liu's pulse condition is normal, even from the pulse condition, her body is still showing signs of improvement. I don't know where the discomfort is?"

Zhu Sang probed to look outside, although there were no outsiders coming and going here, occasionally a young monk and a senior monk passed by. The poisoning matter was serious, so it was not easy for others to listen to it, but the main reason was to find a reason to expel Ah Chun. Go, "Ah Chun, go out and watch, don't let anyone approach here, lest someone eavesdrop, by the way, bring the dregs of your decoction."

"Yes."

Achun immediately went out and closed the door, and Zhusang told the doctor Zhang the truth, "The medicine I drank today seems to be different from the usual taste. I suspect that someone poisoned me, but I didn't expect that I have lived in the temple for a long time. Who wanted to harm me, that's why Ah Chun came to find you."

Physician Zhang turned pale with shock, "Then what's wrong with you?"

"That's not true, but maybe it's because the poison is less, maybe it's a chronic poison, I'm really worried..."

"Miss Liu, please don't worry, the general is my old friend, I will naturally not be ashamed of his entrustment, I will definitely make it clear."

"Then there is no need for Imperial Physician Zhang to bother so much. Imperial Physician Zhang only needs to tell me what is wrong with the medicine, and I will investigate the rest by myself."

Doctor Zhang knew that although she was frail, she was decisive, so she said nothing more. After a while, Ah Chun brought the medicine jar in and said, "Mr. Zhang, please take a look."

Doctor Zhang took it, poured all the dregs of medicine in the jar onto the plate, examined it carefully, and finally separated one thing from it, "That's it."

"This is……"

"This medicinal material has an elegant name called Artemisia spp., which is widely circulated and used among the people as a painkiller for traumatic injuries and healing. It can treat bruises, swelling and pain, and rheumatism, but it is very toxic and should be used to treat diseases. , Improper use can be fatal. Misuse or overdose may lead to death from poisoning. Looking at the amount in the dregs of the medicine, it should have reached the lethal dose, but it may be that Ms. Liu has been drinking medicine for many years and has a special constitution, so the toxicity has not taken effect. .”

Zhu Sang frowned, and thought about it for a while, "Can this medicinal material be obtained in the Palace... Tai Hospital?"

"No, this medicine is not irreplaceable, and it is highly toxic, and it can easily kill you if you are not careful. Imperial physicians would never dare to use it to treat concubines, concubines, emperors and princes, so this medicine is only spread among the people. If I hadn’t traveled in the south for a while in the early years, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have recognized it.”

"Since you can't get it, it's easy to handle..."

Since the hospital cannot get it, there must be few people selling this medicine in the capital. With a little research, you can know where the source is.

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang, for coming today. Please don't tell anyone about the medicine."

"Yes."

After seeing off Dr. Zhang, Ah Chun returned to the room, still a little worried, "Miss, if you don't let Dr. Zhang help with the investigation, what will you do..."

"Ah Chun, if you are like this, go to the traditional Chinese medicine store in the capital to check. Where is this Artemisia sylvestris sold? There must not be many people who sell this poisonous medicine. The little apprentices in the pharmacy should not forget it. Just ask." Come back and tell me what physical characteristics that person has."

"Yes."

On the same day, Ah Chun went to search for evidence and investigate. When it was near evening, she came back and found the pharmacy that sold the medicine. The boy said that the person who came to buy the medicine was a girl in pink clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old. Aged, barely handsome, with a soybean-sized mole on the right eyebrow, if the previous conditions were like finding a needle in a haystack, the latter one instantly locked the candidate.

Su Jinshi's dowry maid, Ling'er.

But it is impossible for Liu Xinyue to match up so quickly, so Zhu Sang didn't say anything, but after finding the person who bought the medicine, the rest is easy to talk about. Taking advantage of the dead of night, Zhu Sang changed into night clothes and brought Face towel, slipped into the palace.

Ling'er is a dowry maid, and she is different from those poor envoys. She has a separate room, which makes it easier for Zhusang to "commit crimes".

Ling'er only felt a gust of cool wind blowing by, but when she opened her eyes, she found that she was suspended in mid-air, she screamed in fright, Zhu Sang walked out at this time, "Stop shouting, stop shouting!"

"You you you... who are you! What are you going to do!"

Zhu Sang laughed a few times, "You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. Let me ask you, seven days ago, you went to the Lin Family Medicine Store to buy a medicinal herb that was used to poison Liu Xinyue, the daughter of the general. Neither?"

Of course Ling'er couldn't just admit it like that, "I, I don't know what you're talking about, what pharmacy, what medicine, I don't know..."

"You don't know? I think you do."

"You! Why are you so unreasonable? Do you think that if I know it, I will know it?"

Zhu Sang smiled, drew out the knife, and pressed the back of the knife against Ling'er's face, "Although you don't look very good, if you lose your face, it must not be an insignificant matter, right?"

Ling'er started to panic now, she was still counting on marrying a young master or something in the future, if her face was disfigured, it would be over, "No..."

"Miss Ling'er, think it over. If you recruit, I can let you go now. If you don't, I will slash your face a few times, strip you naked and hang you on the gate of the city." Come on, tomorrow morning, people will come and go, let everyone appreciate Miss Ling'er's figure..."

"I said, I said!" If it is true what she said, it would be better to die, "My master asked me to buy the medicine, and then I bought the little monk who prepared the meals in the kitchen of Xiangguo Temple to add the medicine... "

"Why? As far as I know, Ms. Liu lived in Xiangguo Temple since she was a child, and she didn't necessarily go out once a year. Why did she have a grudge with Su Jinshi? It's so serious that it will hurt her life."

"It was the master who saw a portrait in the prince's study one day..."
