The Favored Medical Princess

Nangong Yue's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in this small inner room.

Poisoned? !

The faces of the others changed drastically when they heard the words, and they looked at each other in blank amazement.

How could Guan Yubai be poisoned? !

Guan Yubai had never been alone in Xiye, after coming to the capital, his daily food and drink came from Xiye Palace, together with Xiao Si, Si Lin and the others.

Who is it, and in what way can they poison Guan Yubai? !

Everyone's eyes fell on the drop of black blood on Guan Yubai's fingertips. Guan Yubai's hands were very beautiful, fair and slender, with joints like bamboo, and if you looked closely, you would find that his fingers were covered with lines that were not very good. The obvious fine scars are the traces left on his body by the prison disaster that year...

Xiao Yi's brows were deeply furrowed, and his eyes changed a few times, deep and incomprehensible.

Compared to the astonishment of others, Guan Yubai himself seemed calm and calm, as if he had already seen through life and death.

In the oppressive silence, Nangong Yue said again: "Young Master, let me check your pulse again."

She made up her mind, stretched out her fingers to take the pulse of Guan Yubai again, her cherry lips were tightly pressed, and her heart sank little by little.

Guan Yubai's pulse was still the same as the previous two times, weird, but not a sign of poisoning.

however……

The drop of black blood and the blackened silver needle clearly represented poison in his blood.

Nangong Yue quickly withdrew her hand, looked at Xiao Si ponderingly, and asked, "Xiao Si, what have your young masters eaten, drank, and used these days?"

From Nangong Yue's question, the others immediately understood that she was still unable to confirm the poison that Guan Yubai was suffering from, so they could only try to find clues from Guan Yubai's daily life.

Next, with the assistance of Xiaosi, Nangong Yue and Baihui checked all the objects in the Qingfeng Palace and even the Imperial Study Room, including the flowers and trees planted in the courtyard, and Guan Yubai's daily diet. Before they knew it, the sun was already rising outside, but they still got nothing...

Guan Yubai's life is very simple, he goes back and forth between the Imperial Study Room and the Qingfeng Palace every day, at most he goes to the Chaoyang Palace with Xiao Yi to meet the envoys.

What else is unavoidable in Guan Yubai's daily life? !

After thinking for a while, Nangong Yue said uncertainly: "Ayi, could it be that the king of Xiye poisoned the well before he died..." The water in the well is running water, and the toxin was quickly washed away. The people in the Southern Border Army are basically in good health, so there is no serious problem, but Guan Yubai is weak, and a little toxin has deposited in his body, accumulating deeper and deeper...

There was no smile on Xiao Yili's face, and she raised her voice to order: "Come here! Send troops to investigate all the water sources in the palace!"

"Yes, my son!"

The soldiers of the Southern Border Army who were guarding outside the palace quickly took their orders and went away. After a while, the whole palace was in a commotion because of Xiao Yi's order. The soldiers of the Xinjiang army shuttled around every corner of the palace, with cold faces and rumbling footsteps, as if they wanted to turn the whole palace over.

The entire capital city was also under martial law, and the people of Xiye in the city were panicked. They didn't know what happened, so they could only stay behind closed doors...

The sun hangs high in the sky, and the capital is empty in the afternoon.

Nangong Yue and Baihui were not idle either. They were in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qingfeng Palace, asking Xiao Si to carefully recall Guan Yubai's diet in the past month, while Baihui was quickly recording... I don't know how long it has passed , there was a rush of footsteps coming from outside, Feng Xing walked in anxiously, and said: "Concubine Shizi, my lord's fever is even worse!"

Nangong Yue stood up abruptly, and rushed to the inner room together with Baihui and Xiao Si.

Guan Yubai on the bed fell asleep again, or in other words, he should have fallen into a coma, his whole face was more flushed than before, dense beads of sweat appeared on his temples and neck, and his breathing became extremely heavy.

"call……"

"call……"

In the inner room, only the sound of his heavy breathing echoed.

Even if she didn't check her pulse, Nangong Yue knew that Guan Yubai's condition was getting worse.

"Baihui, prepare the needle!"

Nangong Yue gave succinct instructions, and Baihui hurriedly opened the medicine box...

The golden sunlight shone in from the window, overshadowing the unextinguished light in the palace lantern beside the bed. Although the sunlight was in full bloom, it was still more peaceful and dead than at night.

With the assistance of Baihui, Nangong Yue skillfully performed needles for the official language again. The master and servant had a good understanding, and the movements of his subordinates were smooth and fast, while the men in the room stood quietly one by one.

One movement and one stillness form a stark contrast.

After a stick of incense, Nangong Yue, who was sweating profusely, withdrew the needles and only left five silver needles on Guan Yubai's chest to protect the heart veins.Gradually, Guan Yubai's breathing calmed down. Although his face was still red, his expression became peaceful, as if he was in a deep sleep.

call!Nangong Yue's originally tense body relaxed a bit, took the handkerchief Xiao Yi handed over, wiped the sweat from her forehead, then met everyone's nervous eyes, and said: "I temporarily used needles to protect the official's heart. Mai... Baihui, go grab some medicines, Zhuru, Chenpi, Jishu..."

After Nangong Yue recited the prescription vigorously, Bai Hui hurriedly went down to fetch and boil the medicine...

As soon as Baihui left, Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai came back, and shook their heads heavily at Nangong Yue.

They have checked all the water sources in the palace, but they still found nothing.

If you can't find the source of the poison, you can't prescribe the right medicine.

Nangong Yue went to the window and sat down to meditate. The inner room fell into silence again, and the air was so oppressive that everyone could hardly breathe...

Nangong Yue raised her hand to push the window, trying to take a breath, but her raised right arm froze in the air.

Huh? !Her nose moved, as if she smelled something, then sniffed again, and said uncertainly: "Do you feel that there is a smell in the room..."

Xiao Yi's nose also moved, and he sniffed intently. There seemed to be a looming rancid smell in the room, but when he smelled it again, it seemed that there was nothing.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi glanced at each other, and asked their boss Lin, Xiao Si, and Feng Xing to search inside and outside the house again, and checked all kinds of objects, even the grass outside, almost every inch I searched all the grass and leaves, but still couldn't find the source of the rancid smell...

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed, and when Nangong Yue almost thought that the stench was her hallucination, Xiao Yi's voice came from the front right: "Ah Yue, it's Xiaobai!"

Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Yi suspiciously, but before she could react, she saw Xiao Yi standing beside Guan Yubai's couch, lifted a corner of the thin quilt, and reached out to grab Guan Yubai's wrist.

Nangong Yue walked over quickly, put her nose close to Guan Yubai's fingertips and sniffed, her eyes widened slightly.

This is it!

She carefully inspected Guan Yubai's fingertips, the black and blue on the root of his nails seemed to be thicker than last night... Also, apart from the old scars of many years, there seemed to be a few thin new lines on his fingers Scar, the faint flesh pink on the scar shows that these new scars should not be long...

Nangong Yue hurriedly asked: "Xiao Si, your young master has a new injury on his hand, how did this injury come about?"

Xiaosi's eyes also fell on Guan Yubai's fingers, as if he had thought of something, his eyes sank, and he blurted out: "Mass Burial Mound!" Could it be that the young master was poisoned in the Mass Burial Mound? !

"Mass Burial Mound?!" Nangong Yue was thoughtful, thinking of the coffin in Jingxin Palace, a guess appeared in her mind.

She took a deep breath and said, "Tell me about what happened that day in detail, and the state of the mass grave..."

Si Lin, Xiaosi, and Fengxing exchanged glances quickly. They all knew that the matter was of great importance, so Si Lin started to talk about the day they arrived at the mass grave, the environment around the mass grave, and how they are. How did he find Mrs. Guan's bones? Speaking of how Guan Yubai used his own hands to dig out Mrs. Guan's bones bit by bit...

Only Si Lin's increasingly difficult voice was left in the inner room. He tried hard to restrain his emotions, almost choked up, and kept talking about them transporting the official's wife's coffin down the mountain.

Hearing this, Nangong Yue was almost [-]% sure, and hurriedly said: "Xiaosi, Fengxing, go and see if there is anything unusual on your young master's arms and back?" aside.

Xiao Si and Feng Xing didn't dare to delay, they hurried to the bed.

Xiao Si nimbly helped Guan Yubai to sit up, and Feng Xing unbuttoned his jacket for him. When the white jacket slipped off most of Guan Yubai's body, the two gasped in shock. Xiao Yi and Si Lin also saw it, and their faces were as sinking as water.

On Guan Yu's white and thin back, besides the long scars intertwined like spider webs, there are also black spots scattered messily along the back...

Xiao Si took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Consort Shi, there are many striped black spots on your back."

No guesses!Nangong Yue's eyes were deep, and she finally confirmed it at this moment.

She remembered reading it in a medical book: corpse poison, even Yin poison.Those who have been poisoned by corpses have dark spots on their bodies, like twisted snakes, their blood is as black as ink, their pulse conditions are disordered, and they have persistent high fever...

"It's corpse poison..." Nangong Yue said slowly.

Listening to what Si Lin said just now, Nangong Yue speculated that Guan Yubai's fingertips were injured during the mass grave, which caused the poison to invade inside.And the corpse poison should not be serious, so it has been lurking in his body for a month, devouring it bit by bit. It might be just a minor illness for others, but it is fatal to Guan Yubai who is weak in constitution.

However, all corpse poisons must first be produced by the decay of human or animal corpses, and then subdivided into several types. It may be the corpse gas permeating in the mist, it may be the toxin dissolved in the soil after the corpse rots, or it may be It is the disease gas released from the dead body that died of the disease, and it is more likely that the plants near the burial site absorbed the corpse gas in the soil...

There are subtle differences between each type of corpse poison.

Where does the corpse poison in Guan Yubai's body come from...

In the way of medicine and poison, if there is a slight difference, it will be a thousand miles.You have to be careful yourself!

After Nangong Yue pondered for a while, her expression became more serious, and she said hesitantly: "A Yi, I have to go to the mass grave in person, it's just the official son..."

Now that Guan Yubai's condition is so critical, Nangong Yue is worried that it will take four or five days for her to come and go. If Guan Yubai's condition suddenly deteriorates, Baihui's medical skills may not be enough to deal with it...

Xiao Yi frowned, and ordered decisively: "Zhuzi, prepare the carriage!"

Everyone immediately understood who the carriage was prepared for, Xiao Yi meant to take Guan Yubai to the mass grave together!

Si Lin quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and also felt that Xiao Yi's idea was the most suitable.Of course he knew that Yi Guan Yubai's current weak state was not suitable for traveling, but the only way to deal with emergencies was to be safe with the concubine Shi Zi.

In the official language, no one dared to delay the current illness. After leaving little Xiaoyu to be taken care of by Haitang, a group of them immediately set off from the capital with a carriage and dozens of soldiers from the Southern Border Army to the east of Emerald City. Mass graves in the suburbs.

The next three days were all on the road, day and night, non-stop.

As Nangong Yue expected, along the way, Guan Yubai's condition relapsed several times, sometimes sober, sometimes comatose, and frequent high fever, so they stopped several times along the way, but fortunately, Guan Yubai's condition was still under control up.

Finally, they arrived at the mass grave three days later in the early morning.

A group of carriages and horses stopped at the foot of the mountain. Nangong Yue ordered Xiao Si and Baihui to stay in the carriage to take care of Guan Yubai, while she went up the hill with Xiao Yi, Si Lin and Feng Xing, and specially distributed masks to them Several people put it on.

In the mass graves in the early morning, the hazy mist permeates between the tombstones and the tombs, creating a gloomy atmosphere.Although they were a little stuffy wearing masks, they also blocked the smell of corpses and decay outside the masks.

Feng Xing and Si Lin walked in front, leading Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi along the road they came last time winding all the way up by relying on memory, and when they reached an old pine tree on the top of the hill, the sky was already completely bright.

The sun was rising high, most of the surrounding fog had dissipated, and the surrounding vision was much clearer.

On the hill, as far as the eye can see, there are new graves that are slightly raised and the soil is still wet. These are the graves that Fengxing and the others dug and filled back.

Among the "new" graves, a seven-foot-long rectangular pothole is particularly eye-catching at first glance.

"Shi Zifei," Feng Xing pointed at the pothole, "that's right there..."

It is also because of the war in the West during this period of time, and obviously no one has visited this mass grave recently, so this hole can be preserved, otherwise, I am afraid that other corpses would have been buried in it...

This is also a mistake.

Nangong Yue smiled wryly in her heart, knelt down, opened the medicine box she carried with her, and took out a small porcelain jar.

Xiao Yi guessed what she was going to do, volunteered to jump down the pit for her, and used the small porcelain pot to get some moist grave soil from the bottom of the pit.

Nangong Yue took out a silver needle and inserted it into the small pot of grave soil, the silver needle did not change color.

Not graveyard!

Nangong Yue put on a pair of deerskin gloves, carefully observed the surroundings of the pothole, inspected the weeds and shrubs on the side of the road, collected the dewdrops on the branches and leaves, inspected the bones scattered around... But there was no problem!

Nangong Yue frowned slightly, feeling a little anxious in her heart. Could it be that her guess was wrong? !

She collected herself, returned to the edge of the pothole again, and walked around it slowly...

This is? !

Nangong Yue's pupils shrank, and she squatted down again. On the black cemetery, there were a few grasses that were almost the same color as the soil. The place is bluish black.

Nangong Yue carefully broke off a blade of grass, and then squeezed out the black grass juice from the cut...

At this time, the three of Xiao Yi almost held their breath, watching the silver needle in Nangong Yue's hand stained with the strange grass juice.

The blackened needle tip gave everyone the answer, and it was this——

The corpse water and gas produced when the corpse rotted underground invaded the grave grass, forming corpse poison.

It should be that Guan Yubai dug the soil and accidentally injured his finger, and the corpse poison from the grave grass invaded his body from the finger wound, forming a hidden danger!

Nangong Yue's hanging heart was half relieved. Once the cause of the disease was confirmed, then she would have a direction in her heart!

The group went down the mountain immediately, Nangong Yue wrote a prescription with charcoal, Xiao Yi asked someone to write a few more copies, and distributed them to the accompanying soldiers of the Southern Border Army to go to Emerald City to grab the medicine first.

Xiao Yi and the others also arrived at the Emerald City afterward, and the soldiers of the Southern Border Army who guarded the city immediately welcomed Xiao Yi and his party into the garrison mansion for a rest.

This day, the Emerald City had strange ripples following the arrival of their group. I saw the soldiers of the Southern Frontier Army hurriedly appearing in and out of various medicine shops in the city. When the sun was setting, there was a young soldier. He entered the defense mansion with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Concubine Shizi, I have found all the other herbal medicines," said the soldier, clasping his fists together. "The only thing missing is Yuanzifu. I have searched all the medicine shops but have not found it. I have sent people to the surrounding towns to look for it. I'm afraid it will take some time..." The young soldiers kept their heads lowered as they talked, not daring to look directly at Shi Ziye's piercing eyes.

Fortunately, the gentle voice of the Crown Princess immediately rang in my ears:

"Fortunately, Yuanzifu is not irreplaceable, Captain Lu, you can find a taste of Yuzhuling to replace it."

The young soldier breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led away.

Unexpectedly, after more than an hour, he came back in despair, and begged to see Nangong Yue again, with his head bowed even lower.
