Chapter 10 Evening Star Garden
The grass is created by nature, hard and soft begin to intersect and it is difficult to grow, it is in danger, the water and thunder village...
Chen Ji vaguely remembered that this seemed to be something from the Book of Changes, but he didn't know what it meant.
But even if he doesn't understand, he is still in awe of Old Yao's Six Yao Technique. Tonight's hexagram is a dangerous sign that Old Yao will avoid. What's the difference between him going and dying?
He wondered: "Master, is it because I am tough enough?"
Old Man Yao thought for a while: "Yeah."
Chen Ji said helplessly: "Obviously our three brothers and sisters have the same horoscope!"
Old Man Yao said: "If something happens to them, who will pay me the school money? You can't pay the school money in the first place, so you go. If you don't want to go, it's okay. Just pack up and go home."
Chen Ji thought for a long time: "Okay, I'll go."
Chunhua walked towards the main entrance of the palace with Chen Ji, and came to the plaque of Zhengdaguangguang. The two were blocked by the guards with halberds: "Waist badge!"
She showed her waist badge: "This is the palace badge. Please ask someone from the medical center to come over."
The guard sheathed his halberd silently, and the red door slowly opened with a creaking sound.
The two of them lowered their heads and hurried through the huge and deep palace. They were flanked by tall red walls and gray tiles and a two-story building. Under the tile eaves were painted a four-clawed golden dragon holding a fire-avoiding bead in its mouth.
Chen Ji looked nervously at the black-armored guards standing solemnly, some standing guard and some patrolling, looking around.
Chunhua asked in a low voice: "Has Imperial Physician Yao told you about the rules of the palace?"
Chen Ji judged that he was not qualified to enter the palace. This was the first time he came in, so the other party asked: "Master hasn't taught me yet, please give me some advice from Miss Chunhua."
Chunhua said: "Jing'an Palace, near the Mingzheng Hall, lower your head and don't look around. Don't talk nonsense when you see my wife. Ask questions and answer questions. Don't tell anyone about anything you see or hear in the palace."
"Got it."
Arriving at an archway, a team of more than a dozen women came forward, carrying two wooden stretchers covered with white cloths.
These women were broad-shouldered and round-waisted, so they must have been the healthy servants in the palace's back palace.
When the two sides passed each other, one of the stretchers shook due to the bumps, and a slender black hand hung out. A woman put her hand back under the white cloth with an expressionless face, as if nothing happened.
The team left, not knowing where to send the two corpses.
Chen Ji said: "Miss Chunhua, you have to tell me what happened and what happened just now."
"My wife had a miscarriage," Chunhua said, "the two just now were the maids who were beaten to death in Wanxing Garden."
Chen Ji's heart tightened.
At this time, the lights in the back house were brightly lit, and there was a constant stream of servants and maids coming and going. I don't know what they were busy with, and everyone looked hurried and depressed.
When they arrived outside Wanxing Garden, there were seven or eight slaves kneeling by the wall, crying and shouting for injustice. More than a dozen strong women held canes and beat their backs: "Tell me, who has touched Concubine Jing today?"
Dinner! If you don’t say anything, I’ll kill them all!”
Someone cried: "I really haven't touched this slave."
A strong woman said angrily: "You haven't said anything yet?"
As she spoke, the strong woman pulled the slave's head and slammed it against the wall, killing her on the spot!
Chen Ji turned his head slightly, maybe he didn't handle it properly tonight, and that was the end of it.
However, as he approached Wanxing Garden, he suddenly felt an ice flow pouring out of the garden and flowing into his body. This time the ice flow was so powerful that it was even several times stronger than Zhou Chengyi's original ice flow.
!
Wait, where does this ice flow come from? Why does it come from?
If Zhou Chengyi's ghost was haunted last time because he helped Yunyang and Jiaotu capture Jing Chao's spies, then why did the people who died in Wanxing Garden have nothing to do with him this time, why would there be ice flowing into his body?
?
Chen Ji thought hurriedly, the ice flow must have a secret commonality. Only by finding this commonality can he understand what the ice flow is.
Who does this ice flow come from? This question is very critical.
Before he could think clearly, Chunhua turned around and urged: "What are you doing in a daze? Follow me quickly."
Chen Ji hurriedly caught up. There was a rockery and a water system in the spacious Wanxing Garden. The main building in the courtyard was a two-story covered building. Outside the building, climbing roses were planted, and green vines snaked up the building.
It looks particularly elegant after pruning.
The delicacy and peace inside the garden are in sharp contrast to the hell on earth outside the garden, and even the rose vines look particularly eerie.
At this time, a woman in the guardhouse could be heard yelling hoarsely: "My wife thought something was wrong with that bird's nest earlier. She had a miscarriage just two hours after drinking it. Someone must have poisoned my wife! I will find out when the prince comes back."
If his flesh and blood are gone, he will definitely kill someone!"
After the words fell, Chunhua said anxiously downstairs: "Madam, the people from the medical center are here."
"Come up quickly," a gentle female voice said: "Hurry up and let him show Sister Jing Fei to see if someone has poisoned her."
Thumb thump thump, Chen Ji followed Chunhua upstairs on the wooden stairs.
In the room on the second floor, a gauze screen blocked the bed. A middle-aged woman was sitting on a chair outside the screen. She was wearing a plain silk robe sewn with gold thread, and she had a hairpin in her bun.
Hua Ling hairpinned her hair, looked behind the screen with concern, and said in a gentle voice: "Sister Jing Fei, don't worry, the days are long, and I will definitely get pregnant again."
Behind the screen, Concubine Jing said in a weak voice: "Sister Xie Yunfei is concerned."
In the corner of the second floor, there was also a black cat fighting with a white cat, causing fur all over the floor, but no one paid any attention to it, as if they were deliberately allowing them to fight.
The black cat was small in stature. When he was beaten, he was kicked on the head more than ten times, and his soul was almost knocked out.
But when Chen Ji stepped onto the stairs, the black cat suddenly got away from the white cat and stared straight at Chen Ji's cuffs, sniffing his nose. It wanted to get closer to Chen Ji, but the white cat unexpectedly pounced on him again and wrestled him to the corner again.
Chunhua had already brought Chenji to the second floor and said to the screen: "Madam, someone from the medical clinic is here, let him diagnose you."
At this time, a fierce woman looked at Chunhua and asked angrily: "Where is Imperial Physician Yao? Why is there a young boy here?"
Chunhua was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and said in a tearful tone: "Doctor Yao said that there will be a serious disaster tonight and it is not appropriate to go out. I even moved the prince out but I still can't invite him."
The fierce woman's face darkened: "The palace can't invite the palace's imperial physician? This imperial physician Yao is so arrogant!"
Concubine Yun frowned and said: "I know that Dr. Yao likes to calculate good and bad luck, but it doesn't make sense that he won't come tonight. When the prince comes back from Jiangnan, I will definitely report the matter to him truthfully. If the prince can't help him,
Imperial Medical Clinic, it’s okay if you don’t want this Imperial Medical Clinic.”
The shrew asked: "What about tonight? Let's forget about it tonight? What should I do about my wife's illness?"
Concubine Yun looked embarrassed: "The prince is not here now. Imperial Physician Yao is a seventh-rank official. After all, he has to wait for the prince to come back and make the decision."
The shrew said in a deep voice: "Isn't it Concubine Yun who told Imperial Doctor Yao not to come?"
Concubine Jing behind the screen hurriedly said: "Chun Rong, please don't be rude to sister Yun Fei!"
Concubine Yun smiled: "It doesn't matter, Chunrong also cares about you, my sister. Otherwise, since the people from the Imperial Medical Office are already here, let him take a look at Concubine Jing first."
Concubine Jing said softly: "That's fine."
The fierce woman Chun Rong looked at Chen Ji and said coldly: "What are you still doing? Come and diagnose Concubine Jing."
Chen Ji lowered his head and said nothing.
He doesn't know how to diagnose people at all...
Moreover, the most important thing at this moment is not diagnosis. If the diagnosis is correct or wrong, something will happen.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Grandma Chunrong became furious: "Diagnose a disease!"
Chen Ji thought for a long time, and finally said with a sad face: "I'm sorry, madam, I have only been studying medicine for two years. Firstly, I have not been with the master for a short time, and secondly, I have not mastered my studies. I really don't know how to tell whether Concubine Jing is poisoned. Regarding this matter
, I’m afraid my master will have to come, so I will go back now to try to persuade him and see if I can invite him.”
Aunt Chunrong scolded: "You don't even diagnose your pulse, just say you don't know, pull it out and kill it with a stick! Imperial Doctor Yao is a seventh-grade official and can't do anything. It should be fine if a young apprentice is killed with a stick. He happens to be a doctor at the Imperial Medical Clinic."
Look at the consequences of dereliction of duty!"
While he was talking, four strong women rushed downstairs. They made a thumping sound when they stepped on the wooden floor, dragging the traces and trying to pull them out and kill them.
His hair was messy, his wooden hairpin fell to the ground, and his clothes made an overwhelming sound of tearing.
Concubine Yun picked up the tea cup and took a sip and ignored it. In the eyes of the nobles of this era, an apprentice is dead when he dies, and it is not worth bothering with.
"Wait a minute, let me finish," Chen Ji struggled to say, "Although I am not proficient in medical skills, if Mrs. Jing Fei is really poisoned, I am willing to find the real culprit!"
The second floor suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.
Concubine Yun put down the tea cup and looked over, looking at Chen Ji curiously: "Oh? Do you still have this ability?"
She looked at the embarrassed young man again, and felt that he no longer looked like an apprentice at all, and his eyes were becoming calmer and calmer.
Chen Ji spoke very quickly: "May I ask how many months Mrs. Jing Fei has been pregnant?"
Concubine Jing whispered from behind the screen: "May."
Chen Ji said: "The fetus is ready in May. If someone uses strong poison to harm the fetus within a few hours, the adults will also die! There is no poison in the world that only harms the fetus and does not harm pregnant women!"
The principle of abortion drugs is to reduce progesterone in the body, and after the uterus contracts, it forces the pregnancy tissue to be expelled from the body. If this drug wants to be effective within one day, it must be used on fetuses within three months.
There are several reasons for miscarriage of fetuses in May. The first is diseases of the reproductive organs of pregnant women, such as uterine malformations; the second is systemic diseases of pregnant women, such as influenza, pneumonia, and organ failure; and the third is external force.
Beating; the fourth type of pregnant woman has violent mood swings, such as sadness or fright.
Chen Ji asked: "Mrs. Jingfei, have you been feeling unwell these past few months?"
Aunt Chunrong responded: "My wife used to be in good health, but in recent months she has lost her appetite. I asked Dr. Yao for a diagnosis earlier, and he said it was just a normal pregnancy reaction."
Chen Ji did not take what Old Man Yao said as a reference. He had read the general outline of medical skills. Even if the other party was a highly respected imperial physician, he could not escape the shackles of the times.
He continued to ask: "Has Mrs. Jing Fei been hit by any external force recently, or has her mood fluctuated greatly?"
Aunt Chunrong sneered and said: "What are you talking about here? How could my wife Jinzhi Jadeye be in the situation you mentioned? If you just want to delay time, it will not be as simple as killing her with a stick after a while."
Chen Ji suddenly said: "Since it is none of the above, then it is poisoning! But it is definitely not the poison poisoned tonight, but the poison caused by long-term poisoning!"
"Um?"
"are you sure?"
