Chapter 46 The Princess' Disease

Zhou Mengchen said, "Have you ever seen Princess Sirou's illness?"

Xue Jiuzhen said: "That was another group of imperial physicians watching. Where was the queen greeting? By the way, aren't your brother and sister among them? Don't you know?"

Zhou Mengchen didn't know much. After all, after he returned to Beijing, he had the energy to ask Li Yunzhen what to do for a lot of things? Moreover, Li Yunzhen and the queen frequently entered the palace. Zhou Mengchen was familiar with it.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Someone told me that the symptoms of the prince and the two princesses are the same? How do you judge?"

Li Shizhen said: "I have heard rumors, but it's a little strange? I'm sure the prince's disease is not contagious. However, the prescriptions for the three people are all strengthening the foundation and deeply rooted. With some prescriptions for detoxifying and removing plague, they seem to have the same thing when pressed. However, you have to read them clearly."

Zhou Mengchen pondered for a moment, and he confirmed his thoughts again and said, "I'll do the rest of the matter here."

Zhou Mengchen immediately found a small eunuch and sent him to see the queen. He said that Zhou Mengchen asked for a meeting.

Soon a palace maid came and invited Zhou Mengchen to come.

In front of a gate in the palace, the queen sat on a chair and was waiting for Zhou Mengchen here. Li Yunzhen and more than a dozen other palace maids and officials stood by.

Although this place is not a key road, it is also an empty place.

This is also the place where the queen is careful.

Although Zhou Mengchen has been in and out of the palace many times, he is a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a

Zhou Mengchen immediately saluted and said, "The foreign minister pays homage to His Highness."

The queen's face was a little pale, with a hint of illness. Zhou Mengchen knew that after the last operation, the queen's health had been in trouble. This was inevitable. After all, this surgery was the first case, and many problems were unexpected at the time. The lingering sequelae made Li Yunzhen feel ashamed. He was even more attentive in the diagnosis and treatment of the queen. On the contrary, the queen was more generous and did not care. In this way, the relationship between the two women quickly became good.

The queen said, "Get up, Lord Zhou said, do you tell me about the illness of the prince and the princess?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "That's right. I've seen the pulse case. Judging from the pulse case prescription, the two princesses are related to the prince's illness. I have invited the two imperial physicians who treat the prince to see His Highness."

The queen looked at Li Yunzhen with a meaning.

Almost every nobleman in the palace has his own imperial physician. On the side of the queen, it was Li Yunzhen. But the queen immediately figured it out. Li Yunzhen probably wouldn't object to Zhou Mengchen's words. He nodded and said, "It's right." The queen paused, took a piece of paper, folded it together, and asked someone to hand it to Zhou Mengchen.

Zhou Mengchen was stunned when he saw it, but found that it read: "Is anyone poisoned?"

In fact, the queen also felt abnormal.

The three children fell ill together, and the situation was similar, and the cause was unknown, so one of them had already been gone. Especially the situation of the prince became more and more dangerous.

This has to make the queen have some speculations in her heart. This is also the reason why the queen does not take care of the prince, because the prince is not the queen's biological son. Of course, the queen does not have a biological son. But many things in the palace cannot be explained.

The queen can only avoid suspicion.

But even if you avoid suspicion, the queen is always thinking about this issue. After all, to be honest, the master of the Ming Dynasty harem was not the emperor, but the queen. This matter was slapped the queen in the face. Whether it was true or false, we always had to figure it out.

Zhou Mengchen's heart moved, and he had never thought about it. He had speculations. But it was completely different from what the queen thought.

Zhou Mengchen pondered for a moment, covered the paper and returned it and said, "Your Majesty is too worried, Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Who can hide it from Your Majesty's eyes?"

The queen said: "I hope I am worried too much. But what did Lord Zhou find out? I still need to notify me."

The halo between the couple seemed to fade away. The queen did not trust Jiajing so much in words. However, when she remembered that the queen rescued Emperor Jiajing from life and death, Jiajing was almost strangled to death by the palace maid, it happened in front of the queen.

This also made it difficult for the queen to believe in Emperor Jiajing and what he did.

Of course, this is a bit too underestimated by Jiajing.

Zhou Mengchen said: "That's natural."

The diagnosis of Princess Sirou soon came to an outcome.

Li Shizhen and Xue Jiuying agreed that Princess Sirou and the prince were a disease.

Zhou Mengchen said, "The queen just asked me, are the prince and the princess poisoned?"

Li Yunzhen shook her head and said, "It's impossible. There is one thing I can still judge. The prince and the princess are both sick in the fetus. Some imperial physicians even said that the fetal poison has not been exhausted. Such a disease has happened before. It's absolutely impossible to poison it. I have never seen the poison that can only kill people after more than ten years."

Zhou Mengchen said: "You actually know one."

Li Yunzhen was stunned and suddenly remembered something. He said, "What do you mean is that this is the poison of the golden elixir."

Zhou Mengchen asked Xue Jiuzhen: "Brother Xue has been following Mr. Xue for a while? Do you still remember how Tao Zhongwen soared into the sky?"

Xue Jiuzhen said, "Of course I remember. Your Majesty has been ascending the throne for ten years, and there is no son or half of his daughter. He is very anxious and has summoned the master for consultation. But the master feels that Your Majesty has no problem. The only problem is that he has eaten too much golden elixir and has been recuperating for a while. The rest depends on luck."

"But Tao Zhongwen presented the golden elixir to His Majesty. After His Majesty ate it, he indeed gave birth to several children in a row."

"From then on, Tao Zhongwen has risen to the top and has a better reputation than the chief assistant."

Xue Jiuzhen thought about the poison of the golden elixir mentioned just now, and seemed to have thought of something. He whispered: "The prince is not the eldest son of His Majesty, but the second son. There is another one above that did not stand at all. The prince was born in the fifteenth year of Jiajing, and so was Princess Chang'an. Princess Sirou was a little smaller, and was born in the fifteenth year of Jiajing."

After Xue Jiuzhen finished speaking, he took a breath of air conditioning and said, "Can it be ------?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Except for all the impossible, the rest may be the truth even if it is impossible."

Li Shizhen said: "If you say this, the prince has already-----" He paused slightly and said: "Your Majesty privately asked several death row prisoners to die of mercury steam. I have participated in the diagnosis and treatment. As a result, I found that mercury poisoning has irreversible characteristics. Even if mercury is pushed out, many injuries cannot be cured. Especially the brain--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There were some words that even Li Shizhen, who had always been bold, dared not say intermittently.

But although Li Shizhen didn't explain it clearly, everyone understood it.

If mercury poisoning is mild, there will be many neurological problems. It can even blind people and become a fool.

They didn't think about it before. Moreover, the prince was indirectly accepting the harm after all. The level of poisoning was not deep. It was really something that was brought from the womb, and it had already penetrated into the bone marrow. There was almost no way to treat the medical methods of this era.

It was not confirmed before. And maybe it was confirmed.

But it seems that the diagnosis is confirmed, which is more difficult than not.

Even the death of the crown prince was the best result for the court.

After all, the impact of mercury on the brain will not be reversed. The Sima family's past experience is right in front of us by handing over the Ming Dynasty to a low-powered man. Because even if the prince's life can be saved, it is not certain that the prince's illness suddenly worsens at some point.

This potential threat to the country and country of Ming Dynasty is obvious at a glance.

However, it is almost impossible to change the prince in the Ming Dynasty. Jiajing's desire to change the prince was probably a bigger storm than the great etiquette. This matter was too big. Zhou Mengchen smiled bitterly and said to himself: "I'm afraid that I can't tell the queen about this matter first. I must tell His Majesty first."

Zhou Mengchen said, "You are all rotting in your stomach today. I will report this matter to Your Majesty. Before this, don't say a word outside."
