Chapter 327 Poisoning?
Song Chuman: "Probably. When it wants to go back to the sea, I will let it go. I will respect its opinion."
Song Chuhuai also echoed: "Yes, my sister said that sea turtles are auspicious signs, and giant sea turtles are the most auspicious signs. We can't offend auspicious signs, otherwise we will become unlucky."
The Empress Dowager smiled.
Suddenly, she rubbed her temples, looking like she had a headache.
Xiao Xuanli said worriedly: "Grandma..."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Song Chuman glanced at the Empress Dowager's complexion, then looked at her lips, and suddenly said, "Old Madam, have you not been sleeping well recently? Can't fall asleep at night and can't wake up during the day?"
The Empress Dowager and Xiao Xuanli were both stunned. How did this child know?
The Empress Dowager was astonished and said, "Yes, I have been like this for the past six months, but how did you know?"
So she always felt like she was going to die.
Xiao Xuanli was also very confused. He had never told anyone else about the situation of his Empress Dowager.
Song Chuman asked again: "Old Madam, do you have the habit of eating a fixed meal before going to bed at night?"
The Empress Dowager nodded blankly: "Indeed, I do. Every evening, I drink a bowl of nourishing soup."
Song Chuman thought about her words and said seriously, "Then go back and check what was added to the bowl of soup."
Xiao Xuanli: "My grandmother has been drinking that bowl of soup for more than ten years. She has only been feeling unwell in the past six months. Before she drinks the soup, someone checks it every day to ensure there are no extra herbs in it."
In other words, no traces of poison were found.
Song Chuman said, "There were no traces of poison before the inspection, so what about after the inspection? Moreover, some things are not poisonous at all. If they are added to the decoction, even a silver needle can't detect them."
"Take tea for example. Drinking less tea is good for your body and can also refresh your mind in the morning. But if you drink strong tea at night, it's normal to have trouble sleeping all night."
"If someone boils refreshing tea leaves or other stimulating herbs into a concentrated juice and adds it to the decoction, then drinking it at night will likely cause insomnia."
The expressions of the Empress Dowager and Xiao Xuanli suddenly became extremely serious.
Xiao Xuanli: "But adding something non-toxic to the medicine won't kill anyone. What's the purpose of the person behind this?"
Song Chuman: "Even non-toxic things can kill people. Take the old lady's current condition, for example. She can't sleep at night, but she wants to sleep during the day. This reversal of day and night for a long time can make people depressed and disgusted with the world."
"And the old lady also developed this symptom, and every day she felt that she would soon die."
"If it goes on for a while longer, I'll say something unpleasant, or I might actually choose to commit suicide."
"Even if she doesn't commit suicide, over time, the old lady's reversal of day and night will have a serious impact on her health. At the very least, she will suffer from headaches, and at worst, it will affect other parts of her body, such as heart disease, and thus she will not live long."
And sudden death!
The Empress Dowager and Xiao Xuanli both turned pale.
The Empress Dowager frowned. She hadn't been able to sleep well for the past six months. Could this be the reason?
Song Chuman said solemnly: "Old Madam, Brother Li, if you believe me, starting tonight, sleep in a different room and stop eating what you are used to eating."
"For other imported items, assign someone trustworthy to keep an eye on them."
