Chapter 437: Alcohol Poison
Chapter 437: Alcohol Poison
"What's going on with Shunpin?"
The fifth princess asked several imperial physicians to go to Changchun Palace. Zhang Deli came with two imperial physicians to report, and their brows were all furrowed.
There's nothing good about it at first glance.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shun is not ill, she is poisoned."
Among the two imperial physicians who came back to report, the leading one, Imperial Physician Zhang, answered.
"Poisoned?" Qin Zhi looked up at Zhang Deli, "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, we have discovered salt poison in the jujube wine that the twelfth prince brought over. We have sent someone to the Qilin Palace to find the twelfth prince and ask him about it."
"Yes, I understand." Qin Zhi nodded slightly and asked again: "Is the Queen at Shunpin's place?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After saying this, Qin Zhi stopped asking questions and the hall fell into silence.
Not long after, a eunuch came hurriedly from outside the door and winked at Zhang Deli frantically.
When Zhang Deli saw this, he immediately left.
"Eunuch Zhang, the twelfth prince is ill, very ill, and can't get up!" The eunuch bent down, leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice, and whispered quickly.
"Is it a real illness or a fake one?" Zhang Deli frowned, a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.
Is he really sick, or is he pretending to be sick, or has he been poisoned?
"It's hard for me to make a conclusion," the eunuch evaded.
"I will go and report to His Majesty. You wait here." Zhang Deli turned back to the palace and hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, Xiao Hu came to report that the twelfth prince is ill."
Qin Zhi glanced at the secret report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard on the table, lowered his eyes to look at the memorial in his hand, and said lightly: "Take Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Yan to check him out to see if it is a real illness or a fake one, or if he has been poisoned like Concubine Shun."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
......
Zhang Deli led two imperial doctors and strode to the Qilin Palace, Jingduzhai where the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan lived.
Seeing that the palace maids and eunuchs of Jingdu Zhai were kneeling on the ground in front of the courtyard, Zhang Deli just glanced at them and went straight to the bedroom of the twelfth prince.
The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan was seen lying on the bed, his face pale and his forehead covered with beads of sweat.
After Zhang Deli bowed, he came to the bedside, took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said softly, "Your Highness, Your Highness."
"Doctor Zhang, Doctor Yan, I leave it to you." Zhang Deli looked at the two doctors who were panting and trying to calm their breathing.
"Yes, Eunuch Zhang." Doctor Zhang took a deep breath and exhaled.
Imperial Physician Zhang placed his hand on the twelfth prince's pulse, and soon he was replaced by Imperial Physician Yan. The two imperial physicians looked at each other and nodded.
"Eunuch Zhang, the pulse of His Royal Highness the Twelfth Prince is the same as that of Concubine Shun." said Imperial Doctor Zhang.
"Poisoned?/Poisoned." Zhang Deli and Doctor Zhang said in unison.
"The twelfth prince is at the age of growing up, and his blood circulation is fast. This poison... is more difficult to cure than that of Concubine Shun." Imperial Doctor Zhang continued.
"Fortunately, the poison in the twelfth prince is not as severe as that in Concubine Shun. I think he didn't take much. Eunuch Zhang, please rest assured that the poison can be cured, but..."
"But what?"
"Although this poison can be cured, it cannot be completely cured in a short time. It needs to be cured slowly. If it is fast, it will take one or two years, and if it is slow, it will take three or four years. But once the poison is completely cleared, it will be fine if you take good care of it for two years."
"That's good." Zhang Deli turned around and looked down at the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan who seemed to be unconscious on the bed. "The most urgent task is to detoxify the twelfth prince first. Before the detoxification, everything here is under the control of the two imperial doctors."
Zhang Deli's eyes swept over his subordinates one by one.
"Yes, father-in-law."
After giving the order, Zhang Deli waved to his eunuch Xiao Hu.
"Eunuch Zhang, I'm here." Xiao Hu responded respectfully.
"Take all the palace servants kneeling in the courtyard to the Palace Administration Bureau, and the eunuchs should go to the Eunuchs Bureau with you. The twelfth prince has been poisoned and knows nothing about it, so what use are you dogs?"
Zhang Deli said coldly.
The palace servants and eunuchs kneeling in the courtyard broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Of course, if anyone knows where the jujube kernel wine that the twelfth prince brought to Changchun Palace came from, please keep it for the time being." Zhang Deli said again.
If you go to the palace to be in charge of the affairs of the imperial court or the imperial court, you will be badly injured if you don't die.
If I luckily survive and get reassigned, I will no longer be assigned to the prince.
After being convicted, they were assigned to work as servants in the imperial court or as cleaners in the filth room, both of which were jobs that would quickly consume their lifespans.
If I could stay and continue to work in the Qilin Palace, even if it was just a lowly cleaning job, it would be good.
"Sir, I know."
"Eunuch, I know that, too."
The palace servants and eunuchs raised their hands one after another, their voices somewhat shrill.
"The wine was sent by His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince!" shouted a eunuch.
His voice attracted angry glances from other palace servants and eunuchs. Zhang Deli also frowned and squinted at him.
