Emperor Zhao still chose what Taoist Priest Li wrote. The news sent back by the secret guard made Emperor Zhao think twice. If it weren't for Taoist Priest Li, Xiao Shi would not have survived the cold after taking Sini Decoction, which was in line with Taoist Priest Li's hexagram.
Therefore, Emperor Zhao did not dare to gamble that Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Liu had not made a wrong diagnosis. Even though both of them were highly skilled doctors and even though Taoist Li was just a Taoist priest and it was unknown whether the prescription he wrote was true or false, he was still willing to take a gamble.
Especially after knowing that Li Lezhi's prescription had been confirmed by Imperial Physician Zhang to have no problems, Emperor Zhao felt relieved and ordered his men to prepare Ma Huang Tang.
As for the Sini Decoction prepared by Imperial Physician Zhang, Emperor Zhao did not interfere. He only replaced the Sini Decoction with Ma Huang Decoction when it was about to be sent to Concubine Xiao's palace.
After the others reported back and learned that the child had already drunk the Ma Huang Decoction, Emperor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, with the help of Censor Qiu, Imperial Physician Liu, who had come in for sickness, found Li Lezhi's residence.
He came to Xuanping Lane, looked at the closed door in front of him, and raised his head to look at the plaque, which was empty with nothing written on it. According to what Censor Qiu said, this should be the residence of Taoist Priest Li.
Doctor Liu went forward and knocked on the door, looking around nervously. Some people living in Xuanping Lane had seen his face before. If among these people there were people related to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, then he would not be able to hide the fact that he came to see Taoist Li.
Thinking that His Majesty and the Queen Mother knew about this, Doctor Liu shrank his neck. He looked at the empty streets and touched his face.
I thought, I should cover my face when I go out.
In this way, even if you see him, you may not know it is him, but he came in a hurry and you forgot about it.
The tightly closed door in front of him opened, and Doctor Liu immediately gathered his thoughts and turned to look at the person who opened the door. Seeing that it was a lively young man, Doctor Liu thought about what Censor Qiu had told him, so he bowed and asked, "Is it Taoist Gao?"
It was the first time that someone called him Taoist Gao. Gao Mingli pointed at himself in surprise and asked, "You just called me Taoist Gao?"
This was the first time someone called him that, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Then he remembered his image, coughed, steadied his voice, and tried to sound calmer, "I am Taoist Gao, you are here to see my master, come in."
Gao Ming politely made way and said to the gray-haired old man in front of him, "You want to ask my master to calculate something? My master is busy recently and has not finished his shift yet. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for a while."
"good."
Li Le waited for an hour before returning home. The Honglu Temple had been very busy recently, and even for him as the chief clerk, his job would have been easy if Zhao Kingdom and Xue Kingdom had not come. But now that these two countries had come, he had become very busy and could not leave his post early.
Knowing that someone had been waiting for him for an hour just for him to come back, Li Le was only a little surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly. After hearing that it was an old man, he quickened his pace a little.
Doctor Liu was getting a little anxious while waiting, looking towards the door from time to time. When he saw Li Lezhi in his official uniform, he immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Master Li."
Li Lezhi also returned the greeting, and then said: "I wonder why the old man wants to see me?"
Doctor Liu said, "This time."
Li Le sat opposite Doctor Liu, took out the tortoise shell and placed it on the table, and heard Doctor Liu say, "I used to be a doctor for a wealthy family. Besides me, there was another person whose medical skills were not inferior to mine. This time, it happened that a child of the master's family fell ill, and I was invited to treat him. Later, I learned that the master's family invited another doctor to take the pulse."
"After I knew about this, I immediately went to find the doctor and wanted to know from him what the pulse diagnosis was. Because between us, if I made a mistake in the diagnosis, I might lose my job, so I wanted to confirm with him to make sure that I did not make a mistake in the diagnosis."
"Then, I know that the other party diagnosed the same thing as me, but I saw with my own eyes that the medicine he boiled was not the one he diagnosed. Did you understand, Taoist Li?"
"Okay, I understand," Li Le said, "So what do you want to calculate, old man?"
"I want to know whether the change of the prescription was instructed by the master," Doctor Liu was very conflicted, with a hint of worry between his brows. He also wanted to know if His Majesty would kill him to silence him if he knew about this. Probably not, maybe he would let him retire and return home.
But this matter ultimately involves his own life, and he does not have the integrity of the ancient sages to face death calmly.
Li Le paused while he was fortune-telling. If he had heard correctly and understood correctly, this old man suspected that his master wanted to kill his own son. This should be impossible...
But this kind of fight involving the mansion is not impossible. Li Le simply read the fortune for the other party, and the result was no.
After Li Lezhi told him the result, Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief. But thinking back on the other party's behavior, Doctor Liu was confused again. Was Doctor Zhang experimenting with some new prescription? But the medicine was clearly meant to be sent to Concubine Xiao's palace, so he would not be wrong.
Could it be that Imperial Doctor Zhang wants to attack the Tenth Prince?
But why did Doctor Zhang attack the Tenth Prince? What was hidden here? Perhaps he asked the wrong question. Should he be very clear and ask Taoist Li whether it was His Majesty, the Queen Mother and others who wanted to kill the Tenth Prince?
After careful consideration, Doctor Liu asked, "Is there anyone who wants to kill the young master?"
Li Le saw that the other party seemed to not believe that the doctor's change of the prescription had nothing to do with the host, so he calculated again according to his question.
Afterwards, Li Lezhi figured out that there was a result. Li Lezhi was also confused for a while. Someone wanted to kill the child, and it was through a doctor. This doctor was not instructed by the master. Could it be that the doctor was bribed?
After Li Lezhi told the result, Doctor Liu was also shocked for a while. It turned out that he asked the wrong question, so Taoist Li didn't calculate it before. Wait, someone wants to murder the tenth prince this time, but it may not be ordered by His Majesty and others. Maybe Doctor Zhang was instructed by someone...
The matter has come back to the point where only His Majesty and others can order Doctor Zhang around. If someone else gives orders, given Doctor Zhang's temper, he will not obey and will instead report the matter to His Majesty.
Therefore, either the Taoist priest Li's calculations were not accurate enough and he made a mistake in one of the questions, or the master he mentioned in the first question did not include anyone else except Your Majesty.
In other words, the Queen Mother, the Empress, the Crown Prince and others might have instructed Imperial Physician Zhang to change the prescription, delaying the Tenth Prince's treatment, causing him to catch a cold and die.
But the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xiao are from the same family and are aunt and niece. She would never murder the prince who has Xiao family blood.
Only the Queen and the Crown Prince were left. The Queen had a gentle temperament and the Crown Prince's position was secure, and they definitely had no motive to murder the Tenth Prince.
Could it be that Taoist Li was not wrong? This was indeed not related to His Majesty, the Queen Mother and others, but someone else bribed Doctor Zhang.
This person might be the prince.
After Liu Taiyi knew the general situation, he did not continue to ask. He was about to get up and leave, but then he asked worriedly: "Master Li, can you tell me if my life is in danger?"
Compared to Your Majesty, if those princes knew that he knew about this, they would not be sentimental like Your Majesty, but would take his life without knowing it, so that he would not run to Your Majesty and say nonsense.
Doctor Liu looked at Li Lezhi eagerly.
Li Le calculated again and found out that the other party was not in danger of life, then informed Doctor Liu about it.
Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief, then left behind a hundred taels.
Although Doctor Liu had left, the conversation between him and Li Lezhi still reached the ears of Emperor Zhao. Emperor Zhao looked at the paper in his hand, which recorded the conversation between Doctor Liu and Li Lezhi.
Liu: Was Doctor Zhang instructed to change the prescription by the host family?
Li: No.
Liu: Someone wants to kill the young master
Li: Yes.
Emperor Zhao pondered the two conversations. The first question was about whether Doctor Liu suspected that he was the one who did it. Emperor Zhao sneered and his eyes became slightly colder, but he did not want to take Doctor Liu's life because of this.
Emperor Zhao's eyes fell on the second question. Someone wanted to kill Xiao Shi. Doctor Liu suspected that Doctor Zhang had changed the prescription and was bribed. This was because Doctor Liu saw with his own eyes that the medicine prepared by Doctor Zhang was different.
Therefore, he thought that Doctor Zhang was instructed by someone, but Taoist Li was unaware of this and figured out that someone was trying to murder Xiao Shi.
Emperor Zhao had a strange look on his face, and his impression of Doctor Liu improved a little. Although he was unhappy that Doctor Liu suspected him, the other party accidentally made him know about Xiao Eleven and that someone else had taken action.
Thinking back to the divination by Taoist Li, Xiao Shi would not live past the age of five, which inevitably made Emperor Zhao think about this matter.
It was unknown which of his good sons had done this, as he could even kill his youngest son. Emperor Zhao sent people to investigate, and later found Sini Decoction. He had added some more herbs to the bowl of Sini Decoction that was sent to Concubine Xiao's palace but was intercepted by him.
Empress Dowager Xiao knew about this. She looked at the Sini Decoction with extra herbs added, frowned and looked at Doctor Zhang, and said, "Doctor Zhang, you are also an old doctor in the palace. How could you make a mistake in the herbs for Sini Decoction?"
Imperial Doctor Zhang had no idea about this. He was asked by the Emperor to check the medicine residue and only then did he realize that there was an extra amount. He personally took the dosage of Sini Tang, so there was absolutely no mistake. However, Imperial Doctor Zhang remembered one person, the medical officer who appeared when he was making the medicine.
Sini Tang was originally a medicinal soup that he had abandoned. Although Doctor Zhang suspected that the other party was up to something, he never expected that the other party would actually tamper with the medicine.
I think, if he had not changed the bowl of Sini Decoction to Mahuang Decoction and had been making it himself, the other party would have found a way to lure him away and add some medicinal ingredients when making the medicine.
Doctor Zhang couldn't tell everyone he knew.
Empress Dowager Xiao was surprised and asked, "What? You used Ma Huang Tang?"
Ma Huang Tang was the Taoist's prescription, but Doctor Zhang used Ma Huang Tang on her grandson without her knowledge and against her orders.
If something happened to her grandson, Empress Dowager Xiao said anxiously: "Doctor Zhang, how can you use Ma Huang Tang? You don't even believe in your own medical skills, but believe in the divination of a Taoist priest, you..."
"Mother, I personally sent the Ma Huang Tang to Concubine Xiao's palace. The Ma Huang Tang prepared by Imperial Doctor Zhang was not sent over. It was replaced by me along with the Sini Tang."
"Your Majesty, that Mahuang decoction..." Empress Dowager Xiao was about to say something, but Emperor Zhao interrupted her and said, "I believe in Taoist Li. We still need to find out who is behind this and who wants to murder Xiao Shi."
