Chapter 389: Life goes on, investigations continue
Someone outside came in to report that Judge Zhou wanted to ask the young doctor something, otherwise he didn't know how to prescribe the medicine.
"The little genius doctor has already written the prescription. Just prescribe it according to it. What's there that he can't do?" The emperor was a little annoyed. He only wanted to get the medicine quickly to relieve the imperial concubine's pain.
The filter of the little miracle doctor is still very lethal, and everyone's balance naturally shifts towards him.
Even the emperor is no exception.
Su Mu was not surprised by Zhou Yuanpan's reaction, it seemed as if he had expected it.
"Your Majesty, please let him in. I have something to tell him."
Upon hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows in confusion and immediately knew that the matter was not simple.
As soon as Su Mu took action, the imperial concubine who was originally whining now quieted down, which meant that she was really relieved.
"Let Judge Zhou come in."
The emperor spoke, and Eunuch Lu invited the person in.
As soon as Zhou Yuanpan came in, he knelt down, and the emperor asked him to excuse himself.
"If you have any questions, just ask the little doctor. The little doctor just helped, and the imperial concubine is already much better now."
Su Mu sat at the table. The imperial concubine needed to receive acupuncture treatment for a full quarter of an hour before it could be withdrawn.
Judge Zhou stood up cautiously and handed the prescription to him.
"Little Doctor, there are a few herbs on it. I don't quite understand why they were added.
Could you please help me clear up some confusion, because these herbs seem to be used for detoxification."
Su Mu smiled when he heard this. Zhou Yuanpan had already circled the above medicines with a red pen.
"President Zhou, Concubine Chen was poisoned, but the amount was very small, making it difficult to detect. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, so these medicines are indeed used to detoxify."
When they heard that it was poisoning, not only was Zhou Yuanpan shocked, but Concubine Chen who was lying on the bed was also shocked, and the emperor was also shocked.
"What kind of poison has the imperial concubine been poisoned by?" The emperor stood up and walked to Su Mu.
Su Mu stood up immediately.
Otherwise, what would it mean for him to sit down when the emperor was standing before him? Could he not distinguish between the great and the small?
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has been poisoned by a poison called the Full Moon. I just examined her palm and found slight swelling above her wrist, cloudy eyes, and white patches on her fingernails. While this is normal, if every fingernail has white patches, it's cause for concern. Also, I just smelled something unusual in the calming sachet hanging above the bed curtains."
Su Mu directly pulled off the sachet, opened it, and poured all the spices inside onto the table at once.
The slender fingers rummaged around inside and finally found a few brown, stone-like substances.
"This is called Full Moon. It smells very similar to this sachet, right? But it's a little different. If you don't believe me, try it."
Su Mu gestured to Judge Zhou to smell it.
Hearing that it was poison, Eunuch Lu quickly handed a handkerchief to the emperor to cover his mouth and nose.
Concubine Chen on the bed was also panicked. She found that there were white spots on each of her fingernails, just as the little doctor had said. She panicked.
I originally thought I was just a little edematous recently because I hadn't adapted to the climate in the enclosure, but it turned out to be poisoning.
She began to cry softly in panic, but didn't dare to cry too loudly. It was this that made the emperor very distressed.
Zhou Yuanpan actually took it and smelled it, and it was indeed different.
Since he was allowed to smell it, it meant it wouldn't kill him.
"Little doctor, what is the poison of the full moon?" asked the emperor.
"In reply to Your Majesty, this poison is not fatal. It is a drug that makes people gain weight. Long-term inhalation of this drug will cause the body to gradually become swollen, which will greatly affect the appearance, just like gaining dozens of pounds. Although it will not kill people, it will destroy their hearts.
To achieve this effect, it only takes half a month, but it's obvious that the Imperial Concubine has only just started inhaling it, so she's only slightly swollen. A few doses of medicine will be enough, so I added these herbs to the prescription. Judge Zhou, do you understand now?"
Su Mu smiled at him. His young and handsome face made Zhou Yuanpan doubt his life at this moment.
So, all these years of work have been in vain, right? It's nothing.
It would be better for people to just come in and take a stroll around, and all problems will be solved.
Hearing that it was not poisonous, the emperor felt much more relieved and asked someone to deal with the residue on the table and keep it as evidence.
"Also, Judge Zhou, the Imperial Concubine has an intestinal abscess, which is different from intestinal colic. I'll teach you the acupuncture method later. If the Imperial Concubine's condition relapses next time, just give her this acupuncture..."
Su Mu is not in the palace. If he commits the same offense again next time, he may not be able to come.
The best way is to teach this method to the people in the Imperial Hospital.
Judge Zhou listened and learned carefully, not daring to miss anything.
I really learned a lot tonight.
The prescription has been taken down and the needle on the imperial concubine's waist has been removed. She is much better now and is not in as much pain.
However, she heard that she was poisoned. Although it was not a fatal poison, it was still vicious and wanted to destroy her appearance and figure.
This is obviously a means of competing for favor in the harem. The mastermind behind the scenes wants to use this half-month hunting trip to make the imperial concubine pregnant.
After half a month, the imperial concubine will become obese due to excessive swelling of the body.
At that time, when the emperor sees such a concubine, he will only feel disgusted and will dislike her.
This method of competing for favor is still very common, but it is just the same old thing in a different bottle.
The imperial concubine was terrified and cried and demanded justice. The emperor kept comforting her and stayed with her at night.
The bonfire party tonight will have to be postponed to tomorrow.
However, the emperor has ordered a thorough investigation into the poisoning of the imperial concubine to find out who was behind it. If the person is found out, no matter who it is, they will be severely punished.
It would be fine if it was just a commotion in the harem, as it would only cause a loss of dignity and could be concealed. But in this kind of situation, with so many people here, the scramble for favor in the harem is common, but it cannot be concealed even if one wants to.
If he turned a blind eye, it would be a disrespect to the imperial concubine and an infringement on his imperial dignity.
Many people are destined to be sleepless tonight, but Su Mu is the only one who succeeds.
His performance attracted a lot of attention and attracted a lot of discussion.
The title of the little miracle doctor is indeed well-deserved.
When he came back, the emperor personally asked Eunuch Lu to send him back, and Murong Huai was also there.
He personally asked him some details to facilitate the investigation of his mother's poisoning, and also thanked him for his help.
Otherwise, if someone really succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Jiang Yu originally wanted to stay at Su Wan's place and roast a rabbit for her, but Murong Huai came and tried to capture strong men again.
He simply called him to accompany him to investigate the case.
They are investigating cases all the time, either corruption or poisoning.
As long as life goes on, investigations will continue. Murong Huai deserves to be assigned to work in the Ministry of Justice.
