Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Chapter 580: Cause of Death of the First Prince

Prime Minister Wang realized that the death of the former prince might be related to Mu Yao, so he walked over and snatched the emperor's grandson Lu Qi.

"Mu Yao, what exactly did you do? Call me truthfully!"

At this time, Prime Minister Wang could no longer care about identity and etiquette.

The emperor's grandson had just turned half a year old and was already frightened by Mu Yao's cries, but was snatched away by Prime Minister Wang and cried loudly in his swaddling clothes.

The cry of a baby is the most heart-wrenching.

Mu Yao was blocked by Prime Minister Wang's cronies and could not get close to her child. She heard the child cry and rushed forward several times, but was avoided by Prime Minister Wang.

Hearing Prime Minister Wang questioning her sternly, Mu Yao thought of the big mistake she had made, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Prime Minister Wang and begged:

"Uncle, Qi'er has the blood of the Wang family. Please consider my friendship with the late prince and try my best to assist Qi'er in the future."

Prime Minister Wang thought Mu Yao was still interested in the throne, so he continued to ask with a cold face: "What did you mean by what you just said? Is the death of the first prince related to you?"

Mu Yao's face was ashen. Under Prime Minister Wang's questioning, she suddenly got up, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and stabbed it into her neck.

No one expected that Mu Yao would suddenly commit suicide.

Prime Minister Wang hugged Lu Qi and rushed to Mu Yao, shouting urgently: "Why? What are you hiding?"

Mu Yao still had a breath and uttered a sentence. This time, Prime Minister Wang heard clearly: "Veratrum, how can there be hellebore?"

After saying that, Mu Yao died.

Prime Minister Wang realized that there must be something wrong with the hellebore, and it might be related to the death of the first prince.

"Detain all the people in Chunlin Court and torture them severely. Send all the medicinal materials in the Court to Dr. Wang for screening."

The emperor was now in a coma and the prince was poisoned. Wang Cheng took the responsibility without hesitation and gave orders on the prince's behalf.

Over in the East Palace, Lu Yuanqing, under the careful treatment of Mrs. Wang, finally managed to remove part of the toxin and temporarily saved his life.

It's a pity that he was originally infected with erysipelas, and the hellebore has the effect of increasing the toxicity of other drugs. Now the erysipelas in Lu Yuanqing's body has penetrated deep into his meridians and lungs, making him even more poisoned than the third prince Lu Yuan.

Dr. Wang has been staying in the East Palace for the past two days, taking care of Lu Yuanqing every step of the way. She is exhausted.

He asked his son Wang Sui to sort out the medicinal materials sent by Chunlin Garden.

Wang Sui also worked in Taiyuan Hospital. Although his medical skills were not as good as those of Dr. Wang, he was still a famous doctor in Taiyuan Hospital.

Wang Sui did not find hellebore among the medicinal materials in Chunlin Academy at first.

During the re-examination, I discovered that there was something wrong with the taste of the Maozi leaves in the medicinal materials.

This leaf has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying, calming convulsions and relieving heat, and is often seen in mountain villages in Liguo.

Wang Sui thought that Maozi leaves were very similar to hellebore leaves. He took it to the outside and took a look at it in the sunshine. He immediately understood.

Where is the Maozi leaf? This is the dried and processed hellebore.

It's just that the person who concocted this must be a master, and he disguises it very well. If someone who is familiar with Chinese medicine does not carefully screen it, it is really difficult to distinguish it.

Wang then reported this discovery to Dr. Wang.

When Marquis Liyang and Prime Minister Wang came to visit Lu Yuanqing in the East Palace, Dr. Wang told them about this.

Hellebores were discovered in Chunlin Garden, and although the former Crown Princess Mu Yao had committed suicide, her crime was confirmed.

The Mu family will naturally be implicated, including Mu Ruxian, who will be imprisoned. Lu Yuanqing will have to wait for Lu Yuanqing's final decision on how to deal with it.

In addition, Prime Minister Wang thought of Mu Yao's abnormal appearance when she was dying, and asked people to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medical records and prescriptions of the late prince before his death.

Among the prescriptions given to the late prince on the third day after his injury, Maozi leaves were surprisingly discovered.

"Mr. Wang, do you think this medicine can cure the symptoms?"

After the assassination of the late Crown Prince, Doctor Wang also participated in the treatment.

He recalled: "This prescription was reviewed and reviewed by Tai Hospital, and there is no problem.

The late prince was injured in his arm at the time, but the bleeding had stopped and there was no fever.

The first prince said that the pain made it difficult to sleep at night, so he added this medicine. "

“What would happen if the medicine contained hellebore instead of moss leaves?”

Dr. Wang was shocked when he heard this, "How can that be done? This medicine contains salvia miltiorrhiza. If hellebore and salvia miltiorrhiza are used together, they will become highly toxic and must not be mixed in."

"At that time, did the prince's medicine come from the Taiyuan Hospital Pharmacy or the Donggong Pharmacy?"

Dr. Wang really can’t remember.

He called Wang Sui to come in and ask.

Wang Sui was also in the East Palace at that time and participated in the consultation on the condition of the former prince.

He recalled: "At first, I got the medicine from the Taiyuan Hospital. Later, the prince's condition stabilized. The prince's concubine took care of the prince personally. The prince's concubine took care of everything about decoction."

When Prime Minister Wang heard this, he figured everything out.

Mu Yao must have taken the medicine from the Donggong Pharmacy to save trouble, and the Maozi leaves in the Donggong Pharmacy were hellebores. This caused the death of the late prince from a sudden high fever even when his condition had improved.

"If the late prince developed a high fever after taking a medicine mixed with hellebore, can his pulse be diagnosed?"

Dr. Wang broke into a cold sweat when he heard Prime Minister Wang ask this question. Wang Sui glanced at his father, lowered his head and said, "Other than my father, I'm afraid others may not be able to diagnose it."

Doctor Wang regretted deeply: "In those two days, His Majesty was extremely angry because of the assassination of the Crown Prince by the Dongyi people, and he was also ill.

The former prince's condition stabilized again, and the old minister was recruited to the Houde Hall, where he has been waiting.

Before the late prince passed away, the old minister was urgently summoned to the East Palace to diagnose the late prince's pulse.

But at that time, the late prince's pulse was so weak that he could not detect it, and the veteran could only diagnose the late prince's organ failure, not poisoning. "

Marquis Liyang has been quietly listening to the conversation of several people.

He thought of Chu Tianjiao's pursuit of Shangguan Lie. After returning from Yongping Pass, he had approached him to inquire about the late prince's injury.

When he learned that the first prince was not seriously injured, Chu Tianjiao once suspected that the first prince died strangely.

Chu Tianjiao also secretly tried to find someone to check the first prince's prescription, but no problem was found at that time.

Who would have thought that there was something wrong with the medicine from Donggong Pharmacy?

The medicines that enter the palace need to go through layers of scrutiny. If it wasn't for theft, how could the fake maozi leaves get into the Donggong Pharmacy?

At that time, Chu Tianjiao once sighed to Marquis Liyang: "Is it impossible to violate destiny?"

Marquis Liyang thought silently in his heart: "Destiny is actually a man-made disaster!"

This matter was handed over to Mo Qiushan, the commander of the Anye Division, to investigate, only to discover that the previous purchases from the pharmacy in the East Palace, including the purchase of many supplies in the East Palace, were actually monopolized by the Mu family.

This was also something Mu Yao did deliberately to benefit her family after she became the crown princess.

In other words, the person who poisoned it sent the hellebore to the East Palace as Mao Ci leaves through the channels of the Mu family.

Mu Yao personally prepared the incense for Lu Yuanqing. The medicinal material she used was Maozi leaves, but it turned into hellebore.

Mu Yao had a deep relationship with the first prince, and she has always been worried about him after his death.

She could even remember the medicine the late prince took before he died.

She must have figured out that there was something wrong with the medicine her family purchased, which was why the first prince was killed.

Once the murder of the former prince is exposed, the Mu family will most likely be punished by the nine clans.

Only under self-blame and fear will they commit suicide.

Only then did everyone realize that if this was the case, it was possible that Mu Yao didn't know that the incense she mixed for Lu Yuanqing was poisonous.

The person who harmed Lu Yuanqing was the person who disguised hellebores as mosaic leaves and sent them to Chunlin Garden.

Lu Yuanqing had been lying on the bed, listening to people's comments.

Lu Yuanqing has always had difficulty accepting Mu Yao's poisoning of him.

Lu Yuanqing had a deep relationship with the late prince. Mu Yao was Lu Yuanqing's sister-in-law and she was quite friendly to him in the past. This incident had a great impact on Lu Yuanqing's heart.

When he learned that Mu Yao might have been taken advantage of without knowing it, Lu Yuanqing breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.

But at this time, the old doctor Wang said: "The incense that His Royal Highness inhaled is still poisonous even without the hellebore. There are two herbs in it, and their medicinal properties are incompatible."
