Chapter 553 Discussion
The poison in the Queen Mother's body is very complicated and difficult to diagnose. If the medical skills are not so good, it will not be discovered.
Wang Xiaozhi said that a royal physician had treated the empress dowager before and then died.
Su Taiyuan felt that it was not just a scare tactic, but was probably true. It was probably to diagnose the poison in the Queen Mother.
So, the eldest princess was just testing him, wanting to know if he had discovered the poison in the Queen Mother.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pretended not to know.
If he had told the truth, he would be dead now.
Therefore, this poison is closely related to the eldest princess...
The poison in the Queen Mother's body and the eldest princess's behavior must all be told to Wei Qing and Tang Li so that they can discuss specific countermeasures.
The imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau were allowed to leave the palace and go home when they were not on night duty. They would tell the chief physician and, with the chief physician's approval, they could leave.
However, Su Taiyuan never got this opportunity because Wang Xiaozhi always arranged for him to be on night duty.
"It's too far. You just arrived at the Imperial Hospital and have a lot to learn. The more nights you work, the more you'll learn. I'm doing this for your own good."
How could this be for his own good? It was clearly to make things difficult for him!
Su Taiyuan hasn't slept for several nights.
The chief medical officer felt sorry for him, but he didn't dare to go against Wang Xiaozhi, so he could only arrange for him to be on duty at night.
No matter how good-tempered Su Taiyuan was, he couldn't help it.
It would be fine if he just stayed on duty all the time, but he had to inform Wei Qing and Tang Li about the Queen Mother's matter as soon as possible!
He went into the house, closed the door, and became anxious and sulky.
I really want to give Wang Xiaozhi an injection and make him lie down for ten days or half a month.
At this time, Maidong came in.
"Master, don't be anxious." Maidong tilted his little head and looked at Su Taiyuan.
Although he is small, his expression is like that of an adult, serious and reliable, giving him the feeling of a little adult.
"Well, no rush." Su Taiyuan said.
Forget it, he had to calm down. He was not completely trapped. These few days, he went to give the empress dowager acupuncture again, taking the opportunity to carefully diagnose the empress dowager's poison, and then spent his spare time thinking about how to detoxify.
"Leave Wang Xiaozhi's problem to me and Shaoyao." Maidong said, winking at Su Taiyuan mischievously.
At night, Wang Xiaozhi was also on duty.
His stomach ached a little, so he got up and went to the toilet.
Peony and Ophiopogon looked at each other, the opportunity has come!
Two small figures followed him out.
Wang Xiaozhi and Shaoyao bumped into each other, and Wang Xiaozhi was so angry that he scolded Shaoyao a few words, which delayed them for some time.
Maidong had already entered the first toilet. The toilet was nailed with boards. He had secretly loosened the boards when he went to the toilet before. Now he simply picked up the two boards, put them aside, and then nimbly dodged and left the toilet.
After a while, Wang Xiaozhi arrived. The toilet door was open. It was night time, so he didn't look carefully and walked in directly...
"Ah!" A howl rang out.
A foul stench overwhelmed him!
The next day.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, Wang Xiaozhi missed a step and fell into the toilet!"
"Yeah, I heard that when they pulled him out, he was already unconscious and covered in filth. It was so disgusting..."
"Tell me, isn't this retribution? He deserves it!"
"He was carried home by the guards? He'll have to lie down for ten days or half a month..."
"It's better not to come. Seeing him reminds me of that..."
"vomit!"
Early in the morning, several doctors gathered together and discussed in low voices.
There was no doctor who did not dislike Wang Xiaozhi. When they saw him fall into the toilet, they were all gloating and very happy.
No one targeted Su Taiyuan, so the chief doctor immediately arranged for him to rest and let him go back to see his family.
Su Taiyuan was also able to leave the palace and return to the marquis's mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, he saw someone standing there. It was his wife!
When Mrs. Su saw Su Taiyuan, her eyes lit up and she hurried over.
I looked him up and down and saw that he had lost some weight and his eyes looked tired, which made me feel a little distressed.
The two of them walked into the marquis's mansion hand in hand.
When Tang Li heard that Doctor Su had returned, he hurried over too.
"How did you know I was back?" Su Taiyuan asked the question he had always been curious about.
He hadn't written in advance to inform his wife of his return. How did his wife know he was coming and wait for him at the door?
"My sister-in-law often runs to the door, so of course it's easy to bump into her." Tang Li said.
When Su Taiyuan heard this, he felt so happy that he didn't care about his age. "So Madam misses me so much?"
Mrs. Su's face turned red. They have been married for more than ten years, but they are still so affectionate. It's embarrassing to be pointed out!
Su Taiyuan grabbed Madam Su's hand and looked at Tang Li, but his expression became serious.
"Is Wei Qing back?" he asked in a low voice.
Tang Li's expression also turned serious. Doctor Su must have found something.
Tangli looked at the sky: "Not yet, it will be soon."
Wei Qing left office quite early today. After waiting for a while, he came back.
A few people closed the door and started discussing things.
"Poisoned?" Wei Qing frowned and clenched his fists.
It turns out that the Queen Mother was poisoned and became like that!
Tang Li held Wei Qing's hand and comforted him silently.
Wei Qing held her hand tightly with his backhand and smiled at her.
"Doctor Su, can this poison be cured?" Wei Qing asked.
"This poison has been accumulating for years, eroding the very foundation. It's quite complex," Su Taiyuan said. "I'll look at the medical books again and think of a way. I should be able to cure it. Even if I can't cure it completely, it will at least make the Queen Mother feel better."
Wei Qing nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Su."
"Who poisoned me?" Tang Li asked.
"It's related to the eldest princess." Su Taiyuan said, "That day, after I helped the Queen Mother feel her pulse, the eldest princess tested me."
"Why did the eldest princess poison the empress dowager? This poison can drive people crazy. Could it be that the empress dowager knows some secret and is afraid that she will tell it to others? What secret does the empress dowager know? Does the emperor know that the empress dowager is poisoned?" Tang Li asked a series of questions, all of which were very crucial.
"The emperor should know," Wei Qing said. "That's in the palace. What could possibly be hidden from his eyes?"
"Did the eldest princess poison the food with the emperor's acquiescence, or did the emperor order the eldest princess to poison the food?" Tang Li asked a key question again.
Everyone was silent.
If it was really the Emperor's order... to poison the Queen Mother and drive her insane in order to hide the secret...
This matter was much more serious and complicated than they had imagined.
Wei Qing recovered his composure and said in a cold voice, "Doctor Su, you must be careful and cautious in the palace."
Su Taiyuan nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
After a discussion among the group and a meal, Wei Qing let Doctor Su go to rest.
Tang Li looked at Wei Qing, a little worried about him: "Husband..."
Wei Qing smiled: "Wife, it's okay. Doctor Su will take good care of the Queen Mother. Everything will be fine."
He was worried about the Queen Mother and wanted her to get better, but the most important thing was his wife and he didn't want her to worry.
Wei Qing kissed her on the cheek and said, "Wife, fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and misfortune and fortune are intertwined. This may seem like a bad thing, but it may actually be a good thing. What the Queen Mother knows may be beneficial to us."
Wei Qing hugged the person and comforted him, and only breathed a sigh of relief after he made the person happy.
