Chapter 117 Rogue Means
Chapter 117 Rogue Means
In the evening, there was silence inside and outside the Linhua Hall and the dormitory, and everyone acted with trepidation.
Concubine Yu missed half a bowl of rice for dinner, and the maid who was serving at the side couldn't help but feel a little worried, and wanted to speak up to persuade her, but because of the majesty of the concubine in the past, she didn't dare to speak—everyone in the Linhua Palace knew it, because The Duke of Hejian had an accident, and the noble concubine was in a bad mood. If she moved forward at this time, it would be annoying, and if it wasn't courting death, what was it?Didn't the palace people who didn't look at the entire Linhua Palace be cautious and dare not speak out?
So amidst the silence, the sound of heavy and hasty footsteps seemed particularly abrupt...
The person running quickly in the palace was Zhang Yu, the chief manager of Linhua Palace, he came in a hurry and went straight into Concubine Yu's bedroom, and then without taking a breath, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, it's not good, something happened! "
Concubine Yu was half leaning on the couch at the moment, closing her eyes and meditating. Hearing this, she opened her eyes and glanced at him, and said lazily, "What's wrong? Concubine De brought someone to make trouble again?"
Zhang Yu hurriedly shook his head, and said, "No, it's not Empress Defei, it's the news from Dali Temple that something happened to the Duke!"
When Concubine Yu heard this, her previous lazy look suddenly stopped, she sat up straight, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened to Ah Shao?"
Zhang Yu didn't dare to delay when he heard the question, and hurriedly replied: "Someone secretly poisoned the county magistrate, but Madam don't worry, the news came that the county magistrate is alert, the poisoning is not deep, and his life should be safe."
Because Zhong Shao's poisoning was not serious and his life was not harmed, although Zhang Yu ran in a hurry, there was not much panic on his face.Unexpectedly, when Concubine Yu heard this, she stood up with a "chuckle" and frowned, and immediately ordered: "Go to the Imperial Hospital immediately to ask for Imperial Physician Liu. Come here, change the clothes for this palace. The palace is about to leave the palace immediately!"
Zhang Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously persuaded: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this..."
Concubine Yu Gui didn't even glance at him, she turned around and led the maids away.Seeing Zhang Yu standing still, the remaining palace servants reminded him: "Director Zhang, you'd better go and call for Imperial Physician Liu, if the empress comes out and doesn't see anyone, she should be angry."
When Zhang Yu heard this, he shuddered, turned around and ran away.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Concubine Yu Gui had already changed her clothes, but Zhang Yu hadn't invited Imperial Physician Liu here yet.She didn't wait, and directly ordered people to prepare the sedan chair, and went to the gate of the palace. When she got there, she saw that Zhang Yu was already waiting there with Imperial Physician Liu.
************************************************** ***********
Zhong Shao's peace in Dali Temple prison for several days was finally broken by a bowl of rice.
The person who delivered the food was the jailer who brought her longevity noodles that night, and the food was as bad as the previous few days, but the jailer looked at Zhong Shao twice more when delivering the food.It was also his extra-watching eyes that allowed Zhong Shao to save his life!
After all, she was the criminal officer who was promoted to interrogate the case, so Zhong Shao's eyesight was naturally not bad, and she felt something was wrong when she saw the jailer's expression.However, the Dali Temple has always been heavily guarded, and she has never heard of any accidents in the prison, so under her habitual thinking, she didn't take it too seriously.
After all, Zhong Shao ate the meal brought by the jailer, but as soon as she ate the meal, she felt alarm bells ringing in her heart.Before he had time to think about it for a moment, he vomited that mouthful of food again... Unfortunately, it was still a bit late, and within a short while, it was poisonous!
Between being poisoned silently and calling for help, Zhong Shao hesitated for a moment covered in cold sweat, and chose the latter.Because if he was poisoned to death in the prison of Dali Temple, he would definitely have to undergo an autopsy, and then no secrets would be kept.After calling for help, even if a doctor came to check her pulse, she still had room to adapt.
So soon, the usual calm prison of Dali Temple exploded, and it was too late to block the news...
The doctor didn't come so fast, and the nearest medical clinic was several streets away from Dali Temple.Fortunately, the jailers in Dali Temple were not only good at extorting confessions by torture, they used all kinds of detoxification methods, and Zhong Shao was alert and not deeply poisoned, so it was relieved for a while.
Afterwards, there was still chaos, Zhong Shao was carried out of the prison cell, and temporarily placed in a room for interrogation.People in the room came and went, Zhong Shao only half-closed his eyes weakly, trying hard to keep his mind clear.
Finally, the doctor came, and people also came to Dali Temple. I heard that even the Si Qing, who had already returned to the mansion, was alarmed.
A pill was stuffed into Zhong Shao's mouth, it was unbearably bitter, but she still swallowed it hard.Seeing this, the onlookers finally breathed a sigh of relief, it's not that the pill can cure all poisons, but seeing that she still has the strength to swallow, she must be saved.
Then at the next moment, everyone discovered that Zhong Shao's strength was more than that!
The pills are only used to alleviate the toxicity, and naturally, the only way to save lives is to prescribe the right medicine.The doctor wanted to take Zhong Shao's pulse, but who would have expected that as soon as she stretched out her hand, before she touched Zhong Shao's pulse, she grabbed her with her backhand, and the force was so great that the frail old man was pinched. The doctor let out a cry of pain, his face turned red from the pain.
The people around were shocked when they saw this, and a jailer hurriedly came forward to break Zhong Shao's hand, but unexpectedly she looked thin and thin, with a look of frailty, but the strength in her hand at this moment was not small—she clasped her hand. The hand on the doctor's wrist was like an iron hoop, and the tall and burly jailer tried to break it for a while, but he couldn't break it apart, and the old doctor felt that his wrist was about to break.
All of a sudden, the old doctor was screaming in pain, and the two small officials from the Dali Temple next to him were muttering together: "Master Zhong is thin and weak, why is he so strong? Could it be that he is dying..."
There were quite a few people in the room, but it was actually quite quiet. Except for the old doctor's cry of pain, no one else made a sound, so the words reached everyone's ears.The old doctor's hand was in severe pain, and hearing this, he almost cried in his heart: It doesn't look like the poisoned person in front of him is dying, it's more like he is dying!
The jailer couldn't break Zhong Shao's hand, nor could he just whip him up like an ordinary prisoner, so he realized that the man in front of him could talk to persuade him.So he hurriedly said: "Master Zhong, Lord Zhong, please let go, this is a doctor, not a villain who wants to harm you. You can ask the doctor to feel your pulse, and the doctor can detoxify you!"
Zhong Shao still half-closed his eyes, pretending to be unconscious, and turned a deaf ear to the words of persuasion.In fact, she didn't know what was the use of what she was doing, but at the moment, the poison was coming out, her stomach was cramping, and she really couldn't gather her mind to think of other ways.So she simply played a rogue and delayed it for a while. As for whether she would delay it until she became incapacitated again, or until the turning point came, she herself didn't know.
Just like that, the room became lively again, everyone was breaking hands and persuading, Zhong Shao was completely unmoved, just clenched his teeth and held on to the doctor's hand desperately, let alone let him touch it. to your veins.
Then there was a sudden shout at the door: "Noisy, what are you doing?!" It was Dali Siqing who arrived.
The scene was silent for a while, and everyone realized that something was wrong when they came back to their senses. Looking back on the previous quarrel, it suddenly felt like a child's play.Many people lowered their heads in shame, only the old doctor was still holding the wrist that was pinched by Zhong Shao, mourning.
Dali Siqing walked into the room, walked up to Zhong Shao, saw her face was pale and her lips were blue, she immediately raised her thick eyebrows, and shouted: "Zhong Shao, what are you doing? Let go!"
Sir Siqing’s stern shout had a great effect, not only made everyone in the Dali Temple tremble in fright, but Zhong Shao was also so frightened that he instinctively shrank his hands—the old doctor’s hand was finally freed, and he lifted it up to see, But seeing that there was a circle of bruises on his wrist, he wanted to cry without tears.
In fact, Dali Siqing didn't just arrive, he had been standing at the door for a while, and he was still a little uncertain, but now seeing Zhong Shaozhen let go of his words, he narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a little suspicion.
Zhong Shao raised her eyes slightly, just as she caught a glimpse of the suspicion, her heart tightened, and the cold sweat on her forehead became more severe.
Sure enough, the next moment she heard Sir Si Qing's voice sounded again, but he said to the doctor: "Take her pulse and detoxify her."
The old doctor rubbed his wrists and still had lingering fears, but Zhong Shao was more nervous and frightened than him.After all, those rogue methods are irreplaceable. If this old doctor really got her pulse and spread it out, the crime of deceiving the emperor would be a real crime. At that time, Concubine Yu Su Mo and others will all be implicated!
At the tense moment when the old doctor was hesitating to step forward, another jailer suddenly ran in from outside the door. As soon as he saw Dali Siqing, he said, "Master Siqing, Concubine Yu is here!"
Everyone in the room was astonished when they heard the words, only Zhong Shao heaved a sigh of relief, and his whole body was completely paralyzed—it was finally over, people always cherish their lives, and if she could, she didn't want to take the risk of being poisoned and died forever Dragging.
Then before Dali Temple Minister went out, Concubine Yu brought someone in Shi Shiran. She glanced at Zhong Shao, who was sluggish and limp, and signaled to Imperial Physician Liu who was following her to get a pulse.
The old doctor naturally backed away again, Zhong Shao raised his eyelids to look at the imperial physician brought by Concubine Yu Gui, and then at the pitiful old doctor who was holding his wrist, and he managed to raise his voice and said: "I just offended you a lot, didn't you?" Living……"
The minister of Dali Temple frowned, and did not stop Imperial Physician Liu, but just cupped his hands at Concubine Yu and said, "Your concubine is here, and I should welcome you, but this is the prison of Dali Temple, and all detainees are serious offenders... Your concubine's status is precious. But this place has always been forbidden to enter without an edict!"
Concubine Yu glanced at Zhong Shao's side several times, naturally she did not miss the moment of surprise when Imperial Physician Liu visited Zhong Shao's gate.However, Imperial Physician Liu was her person, so he naturally knew that he should not say anything, so he quickly restrained his expression and continued to diagnose the pulse.She looked away in relief, and then Shi Shiran took out a gold medal from her pocket and showed it: "So, Sir Siqing thinks that I am qualified to come here?"
The gold medal was bestowed by Concubine Yu Gui after protecting Emperor Taiping from the sword, and wrote four large characters - Ruzhen in person!

Well, my mother came to make soy sauce, it's not that she doesn't do anything, it's that she has to cooperate with the eldest princess in everything she does
