Chapter 74: Using the Poisoning to Scheme Shen Yuanwei
Doctor Ge bent over and took the medicine box with both hands.
He picked up the pill, scraped off a layer of powder with a small bamboo stick and placed it in the teacup, then added a little water.
He said, "Your Majesty, if doctors want to poison someone, they usually don't just add poison directly. They use two drugs that counteract each other and are not noticeable to poison the person taking the medicine."
He picked up the silver needle and put it into the cup, then looked up and said to Xie Junlin with a smile, "So using a silver needle to test for poison should not reveal anything. I still have to slowly analyze the ingredients in this medicine..."
Xie Junlin nodded.
He also knew that a great doctor like Song Suihuan would not add poison directly into the pills, so he came to ask Doctor Ge for a careful identification.
He watched Doctor Ge take out the silver needle.
The next moment, his expression changed suddenly.
Seeing that Doctor Ge was still explaining to him the interactions and counteractions of the drug ingredients, he raised his chin with a complicated expression.
"Stop your chatter. Do you want to see the silver needle first?"
Doctor Ge was slightly stunned.
He quickly looked at the silver needle.
The originally beautiful silver needle was now stained with a layer of gray-black!
He was extremely shocked!
He glanced at Xie Junlin and said awkwardly, "There really is such a stupid person who actually added arsenic to the pills? Isn't he betraying our identity as a doctor? He knows how to make medicine, so why doesn't he use drugs that counteract the drug when poisoning..."
Xie Junlin couldn't help but laugh when he saw the embarrassed Doctor Ge.
Listening to Doctor Ge's mumbling, he folded his arms and glanced at the pill, as if thinking about something.
Just as Doctor Ge said, Song Suihuan's medical skills were so advanced that if he really wanted to poison him, he would not use such a simple, crude and brainless method.
It is likely that the poison was not administered by Song Suihuan himself, but by someone who does not understand medicine.
But after Song Suihuan handed it to him, he put it in his sleeve and it never passed through anyone else's hands. It couldn't be someone close to him who poisoned him, it must be someone on Song Suihuan's side...
Who is it?
Song Suihuan's mother?
Or Song Suihuan's sister-in-law?
Kill him to avenge the men of the Song family?
A cold light flashed in Xie Junlin's eyes.
No matter who the poisoner is, if he dares to poison the emperor, he will never be forgiven.
Song Suihuan couldn't escape either.
Xie Junlin glanced at the round pill, but he was not in a hurry to capture Song Suihuan and the people from the Song family. He had more important things to do.
he……
Can we take advantage of the situation?
It's not to deal with Song Suihuan and those people in the Song family. Those people are not worth it.
He did it for Xiao Lingzhao and Shen Yuanwei...
As long as he was in good health and not dying, he would not do such a foolish thing as using force to snatch Xiao Lingzhao's wife. But if he was "poisoned", vomited blood in public, and had only a few days to live, and he wanted to leave a child before he died, would it make him seem pathetic and pitiful, and his reason would be more legitimate?
There was a struggle in his eyes for a moment, then he slowly bent down and picked up the medicine box.
Doctor Ge said quickly, "Your Majesty, be careful. This pill is tainted with arsenic. Don't touch it!"
Xie Junlin hummed.
He stroked the medicine box with his fingers and asked Doctor Ge nonchalantly, "Is there any medicine that will not harm my body but can make me vomit blood and make me look like I am dying of arsenic poisoning?"
Doctor Ge was confused by the question.
He said carefully, "Your Majesty wants to use the same trick as the one who poisoned me, pretending to be poisoned? But since you already have the evidence, why don't you just order him to be arrested? Is the identity of the person who poisoned me so special that Your Majesty needs to use this method and get involved?"
Xie Junlin glanced sideways at Doctor Ge.
He said, "Yes, he is in a high position and has great power, so he cannot be easily moved."
Doctor Ge was a little panicked.
Who is the person who cannot be touched? Is it the left and right prime ministers who have many disciples and hold great power, or the general of the cavalry who holds military power and is highly respected by the people?
Doctor Ge didn't dare to think too much about it.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, thought carefully, and told Xie Junlin cautiously, "Your Majesty, there is no medicine that can make you vomit blood without causing any harm to your body..."
Xie Junlin interrupted him calmly, "It doesn't matter if there is a little damage."
Doctor Ge was shocked.
The emperor is really bold!
In order to deal with others, he can even harm his own body. How cruel.
Doctor Ge thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, you don't really have to take the medicine. You just need to hold a blood bag made of fish bladder in your mouth. When the time comes, you can bite the fish bladder, pretend to be poisoned, and spit out the blood..."
Xie Junlin shook his head.
He wasn't just trying to deceive her for a short while, he wanted to deceive her for a while longer, until Shen Yuanwei got pregnant...
So blood bags are definitely not acceptable.
Besides, if he wanted to use such a despicable way to deceive Xiao Lingzhao and Shen Yuanwei, he would never be able to live with it for the rest of his life if he didn't pay any price at all.
While deceiving others, his own body was also harmed. The three of them were suffering together, but at least he could feel a little more at ease.
He said, "You'd better use medicine, so that my face will turn pale and look like a human, and I will spit out blood from time to time. Others will know that I have been poisoned and seriously injured——"
He changed the subject and said, "But in fact, this medicine will not kill me. I will be able to recover after resting for a year or two."
He asked Doctor Ge, "Can this medicine be prescribed?"
Doctor Ge was terrified when he heard this.
He advised him several times but the emperor was determined to harm his health. He had no choice but to agree tremblingly.
"Then...then I will prepare medicine for Your Majesty right away."
…
A quarter of an hour later, Xie Junlin returned to the Taiji Hall as if nothing had happened.
From afar, he saw Xiao Lingzhao standing at the entrance of the hall like a straight little poplar.
He walked closer, and Xiao Lingzhao saluted together with the guards, but when he knelt down, he was more stiff and resistant than anyone else.
Xie Junlin motioned for Xiao Lingzhao to stand up, "Is he about to get sick?"
Xiao Lingzhao was more taciturn than usual, lowering his head and humming.
Xie Junlin knew that Xiao Lingzhao was unhappy at the moment. His eyes darkened and he turned to call Chen Hai, "Send someone to invite Madam Xiao over and tell her to pack up and leave the palace with General Xiao later."
Xiao Lingzhao was slightly stunned.
The next moment, Xiao Lingzhao suddenly raised his head and looked at Xie Junlin in surprise, "Your Majesty..."
Xie Junlin raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "I will let you and Madam Xiao leave."
Xiao Lingzhao was so excited that he immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude, "Your Majesty, I bow to you and thank you! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xie Junlin stepped into the threshold and said, "Follow me in. The two-year agreement we agreed on must be honored. I can take a step back today, but you must fulfill your promise in two years for the sake of the country."
The smile on Xiao Lingzhao's face froze.
It turned out that the emperor's promise to let them leave the palace did not mean he had completely let them go. Two years later, he still had to watch his wife enter the palace...
He took heavy steps, stepped over the threshold, and walked to the dragon table step by step with difficulty.
Xie Junlin glanced at Xiao Lingzhao, suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and lowered his head to write two contracts.
Xiao Lingzhao and Shen Yuanwei kept one copy, and he kept one copy himself.
Under such circumstances, neither the emperor nor his minister was in the mood to chat or laugh. They just stayed there quietly until Shen Yuanwei followed Chen Hai into the hall.
"Your Majesty, Madam Xiao is here."
Hearing Chen Hai's voice, the two men who had been silent for a long time suddenly looked up at the same time.
Looking at the beautiful Shen Yuanwei walking in against the light of dusk, the two men's eyes were equally warm and bright.
