Chapter 550 You Guess(1/2)
"vomit!!"
Xiao Yi vomited and spit out some filthy things into the copper basin. The room immediately smelled terrible. The child servant quickly took the copper basin out, and the other person helped Xiao Yi lie down.
The doctor Yao Sengyuan went out to check Xiao Yi's vomit. After a while, he returned to the couch and asked how Xiao Yi felt.
Xiao Yi, with a pale face, had a weak breath, lay on the couch without moving, barely opening his one-eye, and whispered: "It's better, but it still hurts."
"It's as swelling and pain as before?" Yao Sengyuan asked again. Seeing Xiao Yi nodding, Yao Sengyuan frowned.
Now, I was helpless.
Xiao Fangzhu, who was serving aside, saw the famous doctor's appearance, knew that the condition was not good, and looked at his father who was lying on the couch and his eyes turned red.
Xu Zhaopei, the princess of Xiangdong who was with her side, remained silent and had no expression on her face, while Wang, the mother of Xiao Fangzhu, was already tearful.
Today is the sixth day of the third month, and the Shangsi Festival on the third day of the third month, Xiao Yi and his family were on an outing. After using snacks, his abdomen suddenly felt swelling and painful, and it seemed that he was poisoned.
The doctor rushed over quickly to induce vomiting for Xiao Yi and spit out the poison in his stomach as much as possible.
Xiao Yi vomited because he vomited, but his abdomen and stomach were still swelling and painful, but it didn't hurt like a knife.
After checking the vomit, no signs of poisoning were found. The dog was allowed to eat some, and the dog was fine.
The assistants of the royal palace also inspected all the food and ingredients during the outing, but found no abnormalities. There was no problem with the leftover tea and water.
After carefully considering the situation before the accident of the King of Xiangdong, he found no signs of poisoning.
The biggest possibility is that there is a problem with the persimmon cake.
Because the King of Xiangdong suffered from "hemorrhoids", he often ate persimmon cakes to treat them in recent years. Once the persimmon cakes are mixed with fish and crabs, it is easy to cause abdominal distension.
However, the King of Xiangdong understood the taboos of eating persimmon cakes, so he never mixed them with fish and crabs. On the Shangsi Festival, he did not eat fish, fish soup or fish soup before and after eating persimmon cakes.
Moreover, the persimmon cakes have been tried and tested. The King of Xiangdong also gave a piece of persimmon cake to his grandson Xiaozhuang. Xiaozhuang was fine after eating it.
The food that the King of Xiangdong ate, Xu Zhaopei, who was the princess of the same seat, also ate it, and even drank a pot of tea together, and it was fine.
Therefore, after repeated investigations, the assistants of the royal palace ruled out the possibility of someone taking poison.
But after the King of Xiangdong returned to his home, his stomach and abdomen were swelling and painful. Although he was not so painful that he screamed, he couldn't eat much.
No matter what you eat or drink, you will feel nauseous and vomit out, and the food that can remain in your stomach is minimal.
The doctors in the royal family thought of many ways to do this, but they had little effect.
The Princess of Xiangdong asked the Queen Mother for help, so the Queen Mother sent the Grand Doctor Yao Sengyuan to the Xiangdong Palace to treat the King of Xiangdong.
Yao Sengyuan carefully checked it many times and found no signs of poisoning in the King of Xiangdong. Judging from his symptoms, it is likely that it was caused by indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort.
Yao Sengyuan also thought of many ways to treat it, but the effect was still minimal. King Xiangdong had a stomach swelling and pain, and had no appetite at all. He would vomit even if he ate as much as he ate.
As a last resort, Yao Sengyuan used a harsh trick to boil the feces until it boiled, and then waited for it to become warm, and gave it to the King of Xiangdong to induce vomiting, in order to spit out the "stay food" accumulated in his stomach.
But after vomiting, Yao Sengyuan checked the vomit and found that there was no other "stay food" except for the feces.
Also, because the King of Xiangdong vomits whatever he eats, no matter how good the medicine is, it is useless. Because he can't take it, he cannot regulate the stomach and intestines. If the stomach and intestines are not good, he just vomits whatever he eats.
So the King of Xiangdong had basically not eaten anything in the past two or three days.
Anyone who doesn’t eat food for two or three days will not be able to bear it, and even if he is not sick, he will starve to death.
The King of Xiangdong is now dying, with a pale face and one-eyed and unconscious.
If even the famous doctor Yao Sengyuan was helpless, then the King of Xiangdong would be really unable to save him.
Wang, Xiao Fangzhu and Xiao Zhuang, who have been guarding the bed these days, looked at the dying Xiao Yi with a bitter look on his face.
As for Xu Zhaopei, who had no expression on his face, everyone knew that she and the King of Xiangdong were resentful. They had been fighting for decades. Now the King of Xiangdong is about to lose his mind. It would be good if the princess didn't have a happy face.
Someone outside came to report that several ministers of the regents came to visit the hospital. Xu Zhaopei and Yao Sengyuan went to the outside room together with the prince Xiao Fangzhu.
In the room, except for the child servant, only Wang and Xiao Zhuang were guarding the bedside.
Wang looked at the dying Xiao Yi and recalled Yao Sengyuan's solemn expression, knowing that something was wrong.
Xiao Yi couldn't eat anything, and he was also lucky that he kept drinking ginseng soup these days. Even if most of it was vomited out, a small part could be left in his stomach, hiding his life.
But it can't escape the oil and the lamp is gone.
After Xiao Yi left, she and her sister became widows, and the princess Xu Zhaopei, as the main wife, was the nominal head of the family in the royal family.
Xu Zhaopei has always been thinking about the position of prince, and he will inevitably make trouble at that time. He will ask the empress dowager to make trouble, and ask Xiaozhuang to inherit the throne of Xiangdong. At that time, there will be trouble.
The more Wang thought about it, the more sad he became, but he didn't dare to cry out loud. He covered his mouth gently, trying his best to suppress his sadness.
Looking at Xiao Yi with one-eyed closed eyes, she just wanted to ask: What's wrong? How can we eat well? It's okay if we eat it, but something happened to the king after eating it?
......
At night, in the dormitory, Xue Yue'e saw her sister being picked up by Li Li and headed to the other side of the bed. She felt her breathing was rapid and she quickly followed.
Tonight, the king belongs to her and her sister, so she wants to do whatever she wants with her sister.
As a result, the maid outside the door reported that the wife asked for a meeting.
After hearing this report, the sisters Xue were sad and angry: It’s unreasonable! You have been monopolizing Li Lang for more than ten days a month and you have to take more!
Seeing that the two sisters looked resentful, Li Li felt embarrassed, so he had to coax them, then tidy up his clothes and turn to the outside room.
But Huang Gui sat with a serious face and looked at him.
It seemed as if I had caught my husband's wife who had an affair.
‘It is legal for men to take concubines in this era!’ Li Li himself reminded himself to walk forward and sit down next to Huang Gui.
As a result, Huang Gui got up and walked out. Li Li was stunned when he saw this, then understood and followed him out.
When they arrived at the yard, the maids stood far away, and there was no one else in the yard except him and his wife.
Huang Yan looked at Li Li and whispered: "I can't sleep, I think about the current situation, and toss and turn."
"You are talking about the safety of King Xiangdong? It is said that King Xiangdong may not die if he eats a stomachache." Li Li replied.
Huang Gui also said: "The situation of the King of Xiangdong is not good. If he dies, he will definitely be an emperor uncle in the current dynasty. No matter who he is, he will not have much friendship with you."
"The new tax system may be repeated, what should I do then?"
Li Li looked up at the stars in the sky: "Who dares? Who dares to let the tax system go over and over again, I will cause trouble. And once the king of Xiangdong is in trouble, I will sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. You must understand this principle, and I will ask?"
Huang Yan stared at Li Li, really wanted to ask "Is it your poison?", but this question made no sense, so he changed his words:
"I really can't figure out how the King of Xiangdong was poisoned."
When Li Li saw that his wife was here to inquire, she didn't ask directly, and she knew it.
Some things still have to be known to the person next to the pillow, but they just need to talk about skills: "People... King Xiangdong was not poisoned, didn't he say he had a bad stomach?"
Huang Gui came here, in fact, just to find out Li Li's tone. Seeing that Li Li was not completely pretending to be stupid, he continued to ask: "It's not poisoning, why... it's obvious that he has already..."
"Si Niang, the King of Xiangdong is indeed not poisoned. So many famous doctors have gone to diagnose it, and there are no signs of poisoning, right?"
With a "bang", Huang Gui slapped Li Li in the face.
Li Li clearly predicted the wife's actions in advance, but did not avoid it.
"There are mosquitos." Huang Yan said, and wanted to take back his right hand, but Li Li held it: "I know."
With the dim firelight nearby, we can see a mosquito that was beaten to death and blood stains in the palm of Huang Yan's right hand.
Huang Yan asked again: "How could it be? I can't figure it out, can you... analyze it for me? Tell me, what might be the reason."
It is obvious that Huang Gui guessed that Li Li was the mastermind behind the scenes, but he didn't point it out, but he wanted to know the reason why King Xiangdong had "bad stomach" so he asked this question.
Li Li didn't want his wife to have a heart attack, so he "analyze": "Okay, I'll try to analyze what the method might be if someone really poisoned."
"When it comes to poisoning, I think the Princess of Xiangdong has sufficient motivation to poison her for her grandson."
That's right, Huang Yan nodded, and Li Li continued:
"However, the Prince of Xiangdong must be wary of the princess. There will be no shortage of drug tests before the meal. Therefore, it is impossible for the princess to successfully commit poisoning without revealing traces and to clear the relationship afterwards."
"The Princess of Xiangdong will do everything for the title of grandson, but must ensure that she is safe and sound afterwards. Only in this way can she win the title of grandson, so she cannot be poisoned."
"However, the principle of food restraint can be used to achieve the goal."
When Huang Gui heard this, he widened his eyes: "Is this impossible? I heard that the King of Xiangdong knew the taboos of eating persimmon cakes, and after eating for several years, it was impossible for food to be incompatible and eat bad food."
"But it still appeared. Si Niang guess, why is this happening?"
Huang Yan shook his head, Li Li stretched out his right hand, bent his index finger, and scraped Huang Yan's nose bridge: "You can't eat persimmons on an empty stomach, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable, right?"
Huang Yan nodded, and Li Li said again: "The reason is that persimmons contain a lot of tannins. This tannin is the culprit that causes persimmons to become numb and astringent when eaten in their mouths."
"The ripe persimmons have slightly lower tannins, while the ripe persimmons have more tannins, so they are very astringent."
"Eating persimmons on an empty stomach will cause tannins in the persimmon to react with the acidic gastric juice, forming precipitation and becoming viscous, like paste, so people will feel uncomfortable in the stomach."
It turned out that's the reason. Huang Yan nodded silently, Li Li raised his index finger with his right hand and shook it in front of her:
"However, even if you don't eat persimmons on an empty stomach, it is easy to have problems. That is, too much tannin is consumed in a short period of time, which will also cause the tannin to react with gastric juice and food in the stomach."
"The formation of a large amount of viscous liquid, which bonds the food in the stomach into a cluster, making it as hard as a stone."
"The food in groups can be big or small. The small ones may be the size of a fingernail, and the large ones may be the size of an egg."
