Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 362: Poisonous Name Jingwei

A sudden change occurred, causing chaos!

Tai Shang was so shocked that he stood up suddenly and shouted loudly, "Call the imperial physician." He ran to the imperial steps himself and almost fell. He hurried to the side of Dong Wang and wanted to pick him up!

Daiyu was startled and pushed Hongchang quickly.

Hongchang had been stunned for a long time, but now he woke up and shouted loudly, "Don't touch me, Taishang!"

As he spoke, he rolled and crawled to his feet, ran straight down, rushed over, hugged the Tai Shang's waist, and dragged him back desperately, shouting:

"It is still unknown whether the King of the East is poisoned or has an old illness! If it is poisoned and the Supreme is infected, I am afraid that when the King of the East wakes up, he will feel that there is no redemption for death!

"Now that everyone is watching, the imperial physician will know the truth immediately after seeing it! Your Majesty, no matter how distressed you are, please be patient!"

Emperor Zhaoming had already stood up, his face gloomy: "Feng Ziying!"

Feng Ziying shouted in response, stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword at his waist, and ordered sternly: "Surround the hall! Please don't move, everyone!"

Suddenly, dozens of guards appeared in front of Emperor Zhaoming and around the Empress Dowager!

Daiyu's eyes were sharp and she quickly scanned the faces of all the ministers. When she came to the King of the West, she suddenly paused, and then looked at the King of the South.

At this time, King Xi's face was full of fear. He stared at the food on the table in front of him. Suddenly, he covered his lips, coughed, and a mouthful of blood sprayed all over his hands!

“What’s going on?! What’s going on!!!” The eldest grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, the first-class uncle Niu Jizon, screamed in horror!

Feng Ziying shouted in a cold voice: "You are disrespectful in front of the emperor! Master Niu, do you want to die?"

"I don't want to live? The East King and the West King are both obedient, but their lives are at stake?" Niu Jizong was like a madman, waving his hands around, screaming crazily, with his hat askew and his hair scattered.

Emperor Zhaoming stood high above, with his hands behind his back. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh? Are you going to frame me for what happened to the East and West?"

This heart-piercing remark immediately brought silence to the hall.

Tai Shang fell into Dai Quan's arms at this moment, and Hong Chang served him with tears in his eyes.

Hearing what Emperor Zhaoming said, the Supreme Lord couldn't help but feel disheartened. He sighed and reached out to Niu Jizong: "Catch him and shut his mouth. Don't let him cause trouble at this time."

Feng Ziying nodded and waved his hand.

Immediately, the imperial guards stepped forward, tied up Niu Jizong, and stuffed his mouth with a towel they got from somewhere.

Just as the noise was going on, five or six imperial physicians on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau came running over, stumbling.

The one who took the lead was the Imperial Physician He.

Seeing Dai Quan kneeling in front of the steps, with the Supreme Lord limp in his arms, he was already frightened out of his wits, and rushed over to check the Supreme Lord's pulse, but was pushed around by the Supreme Lord:

"Go and see the East King and the West King."

Imperial Physician He then discovered that the King of the East had a pale face, blood was coming out of his mouth and nose, and he had fallen to the ground, unconscious!

He hurried forward and first felt the patient's breath, then pressed his pulse, turned up his eyelids, tested the patient's blood with a silver needle, and smelled the patient's scent. His face changed as he said:

"The King of the East has been poisoned by the Dongyi, the poison is called Jingwei!"

When Tai Shang heard that he actually knew, hope flashed in his eyes: "Can you cure it?"

"When the King of the East first arrived in the East China Sea in his early years, he was also poisoned by this, but the dose was small at that time, so he recovered secretly. He once wrote to me to discuss this poison..." Doctor He turned around and explained to the Lord.

Tai Shang was so anxious that he pounded the ground: "Can you solve it?!"

"Yes!" Doctor He said hurriedly, "Yes! The King of the East has tried the antidote I developed before, it works!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly wrote down a prescription and asked someone to boil the medicine.

The Supreme Lord heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes reddened. Dai Quan hurriedly whispered to comfort him.

Emperor Zhaoming was watching from above and ordered, "Go with a few imperial guards. If there are any idle people approaching, capture them all. If there is resistance, kill them without mercy!"

All the ministers' hearts trembled.

After seeing the East King, Doctor He went to see the West King.

"The King of the West was also poisoned by Jingwei, but the dose is very small, so it won't be a big deal." Doctor He comforted the King of the West who was shaking with fear and ordered his men to get another dose of medicine.

Everyone felt relieved and relaxed their shoulders in their seats.

With the help of Dai Quan, the Supreme Lord returned to his desk and ordered people to place the King of the East and the King of the West in the back hall.

Emperor Zhaoming glanced at Tao Xingjian, who nodded slightly.

Daiyu approached Emperor Zhaoming at this time and spoke in a low voice, so that only Emperor Zhaoming and Tao Xingjian could hear: "Search the Western King's body."

Tao Xingjian opened his eyes wide.

Emperor Zhaoming was also stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes, but nodded.

Tao Xingjian turned around and walked away quickly in doubt.

"If it is the poison of the Dongyi, how could it appear in the Linde Palace? Could it be that the King of the East brought it back and used it on himself?"

Prince Yu suddenly frowned and said something.

Then, the grandson of Duke Liguo, the first-class son Liu Fang sneered and said, "That depends on whether the East King and the West King can survive!"

"What do you mean?" Prince Yu raised his eyebrows.

Liu Fang snorted, "Doctor He just said that he knows this poison. May I ask Doctor He, besides you and the King of the East, is there any other person who knows this poison?"

Doctor He was stunned and speechless: "Of course there is... I have to discuss this kind of overseas poison with my colleagues..."

"Oh? Which colleague is that?" Liu Fang sneered.

Doctor He's face turned purple because of his laughter. After a while, he said, "He is the son of Wang Junxiao, the chief doctor of the Imperial Hospital!"

Suddenly his eyes flashed, and he said loudly, "Mrs. Meng, the female official of the Shangyi family, also knew about this! She was studying medicine with Miss Wang at the time, and happened to learn about detoxification!"

Daiyu tilted her head to look at Emperor Zhaoming: "Aunt Meng is currently in the side hall accompanying the Empress Dowager."

Emperor Zhaoming immediately ordered someone to inquire.

Soon the message came back: "Official Meng said: This is indeed the case."

Daiyu's gaze slowly moved between Niu Jizon and Liu Fang who were tied up in place, then looked at Chen Ruiwen, Ma Shang, Hou Xiaokang and Shi Guangzhu, and finally fell on Prince Nannan.

interesting!

The East King and the West King were poisoned, but the South King was safe. However, it was not the South King who caused the trouble, but the descendants of Ba Gong.

Daiyu looked at the Southern King's forced calm face for a long time before she looked at the food tables of the Eastern King and the Western King.

"Since the poison has already spread, there must be many people who could have poisoned it." Prince Yu discussed the matter at hand and easily removed the suspicion from Imperial Doctor He.

Daiyu couldn't help but frown when she heard them making wild guesses. When she was about to turn her head to Emperor Zhaoming to say something, Emperor Zhaoming glared at her unhappily.

"Ministry of Justice, you go and investigate." Emperor Zhaoming said succinctly.

Daiyu blushed and kept silent.

There are many professionals in the temple, so why should she give orders?

Worrying too much can lead to confusion!

The Minister of Justice and the Vice Minister looked at each other and immediately started working in cooperation.

Soon, the two men, together with Doctor He, came to the conclusion: "The poison of the Eastern King is in the wine and also on the rim of the wine jar.

"But there is no trace of poison on any of the items on the West King's dining table."

Drinks!

Emperor Zhaoming's face changed drastically!

Tai Shang's hands also began to tremble, and he grabbed Hong Chang fiercely!
