Chapter 315 No
Several imperial physicians studied Jixiang's arm and discussed for a long time, and finally Imperial Physician Liu came forward to report.
"Your Majesty, Madam, we are at a loss as to what to do with the poison on Miss Jixiang's arm. However, there is a doctor at Tongji Pharmacy who is very good at detoxifying. If your Majesty and Madam are at ease, why not summon this doctor to the palace to take a look, or let Miss Jixiang go to Tongji Pharmacy."
Rong Que looked unhappy.
"I've been keeping you, but now you need doctors from outside the palace to detoxify me? What use do I have for you?"
As soon as he uttered these harsh words, all the imperial doctors knelt down immediately, lowered their heads, and dared not breathe.
Rong Que turned to look at Su Qingqing, who shook her head gently. Rong Que pinched her fingers, then put away the gentleness on his face. He turned to the imperial doctors and spoke harshly, "Don't you have any solution?"
Imperial Physician Liu trembled and said, "Your Majesty, if we had a way, we would not do this. I used acupuncture on Miss Jixiang. It stands to reason that such acupuncture can relieve ordinary itching and pain.
But the redness and swelling on Miss Jixiang’s arm is still spreading. I’m afraid that if the treatment is too late, the arm will not be saved. If it gets worse…”
Rong Que snorted coldly.
Imperial Physician Liu shuddered. "The key is that we can't even identify what the poison is, so it's hard to find an antidote for it."
Rong Que waved his hand, "What a bunch of rubbish! What's the name of the doctor from Tongji Pharmacy you're talking about?"
Imperial Physician Liu immediately said, "Zhen Ze."
"Go and summon!"
Rong Que gave an order and Ming Lu immediately obeyed. After Ming Lu left, Rong Que waved his hand in annoyance and drove all the imperial doctors out.
"What's going on?"
After everyone had left, Rong Que turned around and asked Su Qingqing.
Su Qingqing walked towards the inner room while telling me about Doctor Sun's ointment. After entering the inner room, she sat on the bed with her arms propped up. "When Doctor Sun gave me this ointment, he only said that it would only cause symptoms of skin disease, but would have no effect on the body or the fetus."
Rong Que glanced at Jixiang's arm which was becoming increasingly red and swollen.
If you say there is no impact, even a fool would not believe it.
"After you got this ointment, who has touched it?"
Su Qingqing shook her head. "No one has touched it. Not to mention others, even Jixiang doesn't know about this ointment. After I got it, I locked it in the cabinet. No one usually comes into my room."
indeed.
There are only two female masters in the entire palace, and the other one, Concubine Qi, is locked up. Who can touch the things in Su Qingqing's bedroom!
What's more, there were people in the bedroom day and night. On the day of Su Qingqing's enthronement ceremony, fearing that something might happen in the palace, Su Qingqing left Jixiang to guard the bedroom and did not let her leave at all.
What exactly went wrong?
Soon, Doctor Sun, who gave Su Qingqing the ointment, was brought in by Xiao Rui.
As soon as he entered the door, Doctor Sun didn't even have time to greet him. He rushed straight to Jixiang and grabbed Jixiang's arm to look at him.
Neither Su Qingqing nor Rong Que had the heart to blame him for his disrespect. They both stood by with bated breath, waiting for Doctor Sun's result.
"I will take some of Jixiang's blood."
Doctor Sun took out a silver needle and pierced Jixiang's index finger. A round bead of blood was squeezed into a small teacup, which was just an upside-down teacup on the table in Su Qingqing's room.
A few drops of blood flowed into the teacup. Doctor Sun then took out a silver needle and inserted it into the blood.
Su Qingqing and Rong Que looked over at the same time.
After waiting for half a cup of tea, the color of the silver needle did not change at all.
"There's no poisoning, Miss Jixiang is not poisoned!" Doctor Sun breathed a sigh of relief, and his face, which had been tense since he came in, finally regained some color.
Su Qingqing raised her eyebrows, "What's going on?"
Doctor Sun said, "This ointment can indeed make the skin look like it has some serious skin disease, but it actually has no real harm. These small blisters will burst and form scabs on their own after about three days on the skin. After the scabs form, as long as you apply some ordinary ointment to prevent infection, there will be no big problem. I have a scar removal medicine for the scabs formed by this ointment, and it will not leave scars."
Doctor Sun's silver needle did not turn black, but Imperial Physician Liu's silver needle turned black in front of Su Qingqing, and the several imperial physicians who had come before all felt that Jixiang was indeed poisoned.
Is it possible that there is something wrong with all these imperial doctors?
There are only a few doctors in the Imperial Medical Service. If there are problems with these few, what about the rest?
In this palace filled with all sorts of evil spirits, is there anyone who can be used?
The anger in Rong Que's eyes almost burst out. Su Qingqing glanced at Jixiang and felt relieved when she knew that the small blisters on Jixiang's arm were not a big problem.
"I originally wanted to use this incident to test the Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Wula, but I didn't expect that they would use their tricks against me. I think that even if Jixiang or I get any disease today, they can make us poisoned.
Their purpose is not to cure the disease, but to recommend Zhen Ze in."
Hearing the name Zhen Ze, Doctor Sun was stunned for a moment, "Zhen Ze from Tongji Pharmacy?"
Su Qingqing looked at him, "You know?"
Doctor Sun said, "Zhen Ze's medical skills are very good. He is good at toxicology and dermatology. However, I heard that he learned his medical skills in Da Qi in his early years. His master is from Da Qi."
Jixiang sneered immediately, "Oh, now it makes sense, his master is from Da Qi, he learned medical skills from Da Qi, and now we have a princess from Da Qi imprisoned in our palace."
Su Qingqing glanced at Jixiang , then turned to Rong Que and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Rong Que shook his head, "It won't be so direct. Zhen Ze learned medical skills from Da Qi. This should not be a secret. It can be known with a little inquiry. They won't do it so directly."
Su Qingqing said, "That's right." Then she looked at Doctor Sun and asked, "How is Zhen Ze?"
Doctor Sun hesitated for a moment , "His medical skills are really good, but as for his personality, I heard that he is aloof and doesn't have many friends. He is only at Tongji Pharmacy when he is seeing patients, and he doesn't interact much with the doctors in the pharmacy at other times.
Everyone admired his medical skills, but no one was eager to learn from him.
However, he is not a bad person. I have heard that he donates a lot every year when the court calls for donations. Whenever there is an epidemic somewhere and the court calls for doctors from the public to go, he will sign up. It's just that he has no friends."
Su Qingqing said to Rong Que, "Your Majesty, please ask someone to go to Wang Yu and ask him to investigate this Zhen Ze."
This was always auspicious in the past, but now that auspiciousness has been "poisoned", it is naturally not suitable to run outside the palace again.
Minglu went outside the palace to pick up Zhenze, Minghe was keeping an eye on Concubine Qi, and there were only these two people that Rongque trusted 100%, as for the others...
Rong Que still had a clear memory of the fact that four or five doctors from the Imperial Hospital had insisted that Jixiang was poisoned. He did not dare to trust anyone. After thinking for a long time, he could only order a young eunuch outside to "call He Chao."
