Chapter 316 Testing Medicine
After leaving Fengyi Palace, Su Tang looked at Emperor Jing, "The light in the hall was a little dim just now. Now I realize that my father's face doesn't look very good."
Emperor Jing and Eunuch Fu looked at Su Tang together, but Eunuch Fu quickly lowered his head, while the other palace servants knelt down, not daring to make a sound.
He made irresponsible comments about the emperor's health and even said directly that Emperor Jing was in poor health. I guess even the imperial physician would not dare to say this directly.
"Haha, I forgot that you can do medicine. When you go back, please take my pulse. These imperial doctors are really useless." Emperor Jing replied with a smile after a few seconds' pause.
Then Emperor Jing put his hand on the arm that Eunuch Fu extended to him and sat on the dragon carriage.
Su Tang responded: "Okay."
All the way back to the imperial study, Emperor Jing leaned on the dragon carriage with his eyes closed. It was so quiet all around him that the only sound he could hear was the eunuch's slightly heavy footsteps.
Su Tang only took a look at Emperor Jing and found that he had his eyes closed and was silent. He seemed very tired and just looked around.
When she first arrived, Su Tang had someone take a detour to Fengyi Palace, so she had already familiarized herself with the main halls outside Fengyi Palace.
I did see a place guarded at the door, and there seemed to be quite a few Royal Guards guarding it, at least two groups patrolling at the same time.
In the imperial study room.
Emperor Jing dismissed everyone and only left Eunuch Fu to serve him.
"Tell me about it." Emperor Jing took a few sips of the tea brought by Eunuch Fu and then said to Su Tang.
"Let me take your pulse first." Su Tang frowned. Emperor Jing seemed to be in even worse spirit at this moment.
"Hehe, I thought you were just talking casually just now. Do you really want to feel my pulse?" Emperor Jing smiled and stretched out his hand. Eunuch Fu immediately placed a small cotton pillow under Emperor Jing's hand.
Su Tang stood up and walked to the side of Emperor Jing, placing her slender jade fingers on his wrist.
When Su Tang touched him, her brows unconsciously frowned.
Emperor Jing had been observing Su Tang's expression. He was smiling at first, but when he saw Su Tang frowning, his smile disappeared.
The hall was very quiet. Eunuch Fu seemed to be invisible and didn't dare to make a sound.
It was not until Su Tang withdrew her hand that Emperor Jing asked in a deep voice, "Is there really a problem?"
"Well, you've been poisoned by a Gu insect." Su Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she now also knows the art of Gu poison.
"Poisonous insect!" Emperor Jing was a little surprised. That was the poison technique from southern Xinjiang, and there were usually no people from southern Xinjiang in the capital.
Of course, when the nations heard that Dayong had artillery coming to pay tribute, Southern Xinjiang also sent envoys.
However, those people from Southern Xinjiang all left Kyoto not long after they stayed there. At that time, those people from Southern Xinjiang were very unhappy with the people from Dayong, and there was even news that a Southern Xinjiang priestess was lost in Dayong. Finally, Southern Xinjiang sent troops to pressure the border.
"Yes, but you haven't been poisoned for long. I happen to have a famous doctor who is good at removing poison. I will write a letter and ask him to remove the poison for you."
In fact, Su Tang could have cured Emperor Jing of the poison, but Su Tang thought that it would be better not to reveal the fact that she could do it for the time being. After all, if it was revealed, she would have to explain to Emperor Jing and all the court officials why she knew the art of witchcraft.
Therefore, let’s wait and bring Professor Tian here so that he can detoxify Emperor Jing.
Of course, she also had a selfish motive, which was to make Emperor Jing suffer.
The poisonous insects that were put into Emperor Jing's body had an effect similar to that of a chronic poison. The insects kept sucking his blood until he finally died of anemia.
As long as it is not the kind of poisonous insect that controls people, Su Tang will not be in a hurry.
"This, when did I get infected with the poisonous insect?" Emperor Jing was a little angry. Every day, the imperial physician checked his pulse, but these quack doctors couldn't find out what was wrong.
Of course, Emperor Jing asked this because he wanted to know the time period when he was poisoned so that his secret guards could investigate.
Thinking of his secret guards, Emperor Jing felt even more troubled.
They were poisoned by a poisonous poison, but these secret guards didn't even know it.
His palace is now like a sieve, and anyone can come and murder him.
"Cough." At this time, Eunuch Fu suppressed a light cough, but he went to the side to put the teacup and was not next to Emperor Jing.
Su Tang turned her head to look at Eunuch Fu, then quickly adjusted her gaze to Emperor Jing, taking the small pillow from his hand and putting it aside. "If nothing unexpected happened, it was a month ago."
"A month ago..." Emperor Jing murmured.
"Well, to be on the safe side, before the doctor comes, you'd better not see too many people, and don't eat food given by others. Of course, you should take more blood-replenishing medicine on weekdays. I see that your spirit is much worse than before."
"Okay." Emperor Jing agreed, and at this time Eunuch Fu also came over.
Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Eunuch Fu, with suspicion in his eyes. It was the first time that Emperor Jing began to doubt the old servant beside him.
Su Tang saw Emperor Jing's expression, but Eunuch Fu had his head down and didn't see it.
"By the way, you said you wanted to tell me about the matter in southern Xinjiang. What was it?" Emperor Jing pinched his brows. He had indeed been feeling tired recently. He thought it was because he had gone too far with Queen Xie and the others before, which had hurt his body.
He has been feeling a little overwhelmed in dealing with state affairs recently. Emperor Jing glanced at the pile of memorials on the desk and rubbed his brows again.
"Didn't Qi Lingheng go to southern Xinjiang a few days ago? He brought back a batch of medicinal herbs from southern Xinjiang when he returned to the city. He met me on the way and showed me around. Those herbs are all good medicines. I made some hemostatic medicine."
"Hemostatic medicine?" Emperor Jing asked in confusion.
"Well, I brought a bottle. Find a small animal and I'll demonstrate it to you."
"Go, find a palace maid." Emperor Jing waved his hand, signaling Eunuch Fu to find a palace maid to come in. There were no small animals in his imperial study.
Su Tang frowned, but did not question Emperor Jing's decision. After all, in ancient times, the lives of these slaves were not as valuable as those of small animals.
Soon, a little palace maid was brought in.
The maid knelt not far from Emperor Jing. Eunuch Fu raised his chin slightly. He took out a delicate knife from the table and walked to the maid. "Stretch out your arm."
The little palace maid didn't understand what was going on. Although she was afraid, she still trembled and stretched out her arms.
The little palace maid's snow-white arms were immediately exposed to everyone. Eunuch Fu raised his hand and quickly cut the little palace maid's arm.
The bright red blood immediately flowed down the snow-white arm and dripped onto the ground.
The little palace maid was frightened by Eunuch Fu's behavior, but she still suppressed her fear. She just let out a light sigh and bit her lower lip to endure it.
Su Tang took out a porcelain bottle and quickly sprinkled some white powder on the little maid's arm. "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
When the little palace maid heard Su Tang's gentle words, she carefully raised her eyes and looked at Su Tang, her tearful eyes full of gratitude.
Eunuch Fu finally sent Su Tang out of the imperial study
