Chapter 956 Zhao Gao Saves Me
"It seems that ordinary decoctions are hopeless, why not try Miao medicine!" An imperial physician looked at Zhao Gao and reminded him.
"It seems that's all!" The Imperial Physician Ling turned to Zhao Gao, "Yin Buxin, go to the Imperial Medical Office to take the medicine you made a few days ago to feed Li Xiang!"
"Yes, I'll get it now!" Zhao Gao bowed his hand and left the ward in a hoarse and low voice. After half an hour, he took a small gourd and gave Li Si some in front of a group of imperial doctors and imperial doctors. Then the group stared at him for a long time and found that Li Si's condition seemed to have improved slightly. The news soon came to the palace. The emperor left the palace again to visit Li Si's palace, but his face became even more gloomy after returning to the palace.
The so-called improvement in the situation is just because the breathing is slightly smoother, and the condition has not changed much, and Li Si is still in a coma.
In the middle of the night that day, the lights in Li Si's palace were still brightly lit, and countless servants knelt outside Li Si's bedroom and cried quietly waiting for the news. In the bedroom, Zhao Gao and several imperial doctors were still guarding the room. Suddenly, Li Si was unconscious and trembled violently and rolled down from the bed several times, rolling on the ground like crazy. It was not until he was awakened by several imperial doctors and doctors, and then he grabbed an imperial doctor with horror and cried: "Where is this? Why is it so dark? I am dead from time to time, why can't I see anything?"
"Li Xiang, you were seriously ill and coma before you woke up. This is the bedroom in your house..."
"Li Xiang, thanks to Yin Buxin's Miao Fang Qi Medicine, otherwise you will be helpless!"
Several imperial physicians quickly comforted each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Li Si is blind, but as long as he comes back to life, they will not be punished by the emperor for the time being.
"Miao Medicine... Yes, Miao Medicine, please take Miao Medicine quickly and let me drink a few more sips!" Li Si slowly felt a hint of clearness, grabbed the arm of an imperial doctor and shouted loudly.
"Okay, Li Xiang wait!"
A group of imperial doctors quickly ordered Zhao Gao to take the gourd and open it and hand it to Li Si. Li Si took it and poured it into half of the gourd in one breath and slowly calmed down.
"Li Xiang woke up. Maybe it was because of the severe illness that caused his eyes to be blind for a while. Maybe it would be cured in a few days!" Several imperial physicians helped Li Si sit on the couch and comforted him. Then they went out to inform Li Si's family to come in to check in. After another burst of tears of ghosts and wolves, Li Si asked his family and everyone to withdraw, leaving only Zhao Gao.
After the door was closed, Li Si then groped and called Zhao Gao to the front and whispered: "Zhao Gao, it seems that only you, the Miao medicine, can maintain this disease. You must prepare more for me in the future!"
"Yes, don't worry, Li Xiang. Although this medicine is not as effective as Qinghehou's Five Poisons Shuhun Water, it is also based on a kind of Miao prescription configuration. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come and surrender to the emperor!" Zhao Gao replied in a hoarse voice.
"That's good, I'm in a coma. Did the emperor have any arrangements?"
"When I returned to Li Xiang, the emperor visited him twice. I heard that he had summoned Meng Yifeng Quji and Chen Xu and other important officials in the court to the palace to discuss matters. I am afraid that he was preparing for Li Xiang's funeral!"
"Prepare for funeral..." Li Si's gray face showed a trace of desolation. After rubbing his eyes and being silent for a long time, he nodded slightly and asked: "How did the imperial doctor and imperial doctor diagnose my husband's illness?"
"Li Xiang, don't worry. As long as you drink more of the Medicaids I have prepared, it will be fine in a few days. You also know that the treatment methods of imperial doctors and imperial doctors are all used to treat diseases. The efficacy of using gentle prescriptions is not significant..."
Li Si nodded after being silent for a long time: "Yes, thanks to you this time. You found the porcelain bottle of the Five Poisons Shuhun Water that I placed on the bookcase. There are some potions in it. I will drink some more, and it may be fine tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Zhao Gao retreated to the bookcase, searched for a few times and got a porcelain bottle. He opened it and sniffed it and turned his head to look at Li Si who was sitting on the couch with a blank look on his face. He gritted his teeth and took out a thin bamboo tube from his cuff. After opening it, he quickly crawled out of it. A silkworm with red and blue intertwined, and his head was covered with black and white patterns and grimaces. Zhao Gao pinched the silkworm and spit out a few mouthfuls of juice and fell into the porcelain bottle. Then he quickly put away the silkworm and shook the porcelain bottle gently for a few times before delivering it to Li Si's hand.
Zhao Gao's move just now was very fast, and Li Si was in a mess and couldn't see it. He didn't know that Zhao Gao had tampered with it in secret. He took the porcelain bottle and took a sip and waved his hand and said, "You retreat first, and wait until I'll talk to you in detail tomorrow!"
"Yes, take care of Li Xiang!" Zhao Gao bowed and then left the room. Soon, Li Si's family servants came in to serve Li Si'an to sleep. At the same time, he quickly arranged for people to send Li Si's wakefulness to the palace late at night to inform the emperor.
After receiving the news that Li Si was awake, the emperor, who was originally anxious, relaxed and slept peacefully.
Although the lights in Li Si's mansion were still brightly lit, it had slowly calmed down. The family and servants who were frightened by Li Si's condition had almost all relaxed. Even Li Si's wives, concubines and children were staying in and out of the room for an hour and found that Li Si had fallen asleep peacefully, so they all went back to their rooms to rest.
At the beginning of the Yin hour, just as dawn was approaching, a shrill scream suddenly came from Li Si's bedroom.
"It hurts so much, Zhao Gao saves me..."
Then a thud came out. When several imperial physicians and family servants who were guarding the next room rushed into Li Si's room, they found that Li Si had rolled down under the bed and died of blood and blood. A ceramic bottle rolled down in the center of the room.
This time, the entire prime minister's mansion fell into chaos again, and the crying sounded quickly. After examination by the imperial physician, he found that the ulcer on Li Si's back had broken, and the pus and blood flowed out stained half of the bed, and the entire room was filled with an extremely fishy and pungent smell.
In the panic of the crowd, Xu Fu stood under the bushes outside Li Si's room and fell into deep thought.
Although Li Si's scream just now was very sudden and short, Xu Fu was sure that he could hear clearly because most of the imperial doctors were dozing, but he was reading the draft of the Materia Medica he had written under the lamp. Others might not care, but he could hear the word Zhao Gao clearly.
"Zhao Gao... Why did Li Si call Zhao Gao's name before he died..."
Xu Fu racked his brains to think about it, but he couldn't figure it out, so he could only temporarily put this idea down.
Zhao Gao himself was also shocked by Li Si's shout before his death. After poisoning, he felt guilty. Zhao Gao naturally didn't take a nap, but listened to the movements in Li Si's room at all times.
The ghost-faced moth is a poisonous insect that everyone is afraid of in Lingnan. Legend has it that if the ghost-faced moth hits the face and inhales poison powder, it will instantly be confused and die of madness. The larvae venom of the ghost-faced moth is even more poisonous. As long as it enters the body, there is no cure to be saved. In addition, Li Si has already reached the verge of dying, and Zhao Gao believes that these drops of venom are enough to kill Li Si.
Therefore, when he heard the scream from Li Si's room, he was so scared that he almost fell off the chair. However, soon a group of imperial physicians, imperial physicians, servants and family members were alarmed. In the chaos of shouting, no one seemed to hear what Li Si was calling. Therefore, after a terrified observation, Zhao Gao slowly calmed down and mixed with a group of imperial physicians and pretended to be busy checking the cause of Li Si's death.
At dawn, the sleeping emperor was soon awakened by the urgent news from outside the palace again. After learning that Li Si had passed away, he sat on the couch and was silent for half an hour. Then when it was dawn, the gate of the palace was wide open. Under the protection of the imperial guards, the emperor's jade chariot left the palace again and went straight to Li Si's prime minister's mansion. Soon several decrees were heard from the prime minister's mansion and arranged for the Ministry of Rites to prepare for funerals.
The news of Li Si's death spread to the people, and the whole city of Xianyang was in an uproar in an instant. No one could understand. A prime minister who was usually arrogant and died silently.
When Shangqing died in the court, he naturally served as a funeral.
Various orders were continuously reported from the palace, and officials from the three provinces and six ministries took action. Officials from the Ministry of Rites were particularly busy and arranged personnel to go to Sanchuan County to report Li Si's eldest son Li You. According to custom, Li Si wanted to transport him back to his hometown Shangcai for burial, so he had to rush to Shangcai to inform the Li Si tribe and local officials to survey Jilang for investigation.
Shangqing's funeral must be extremely grand. Three days after the spirit was stopped, all the kings, princes, princes, civil and military officials went to pay their respects. After Li You arrived in Xianyang, he helped Ling back home. Two thousand imperial guards of the Central Guards sent him off. The people in the city knelt down in the streets. The whole Xianyang white banners were lined with mourning, and there were constant crying everywhere.
Li Si's sudden death was apart from those who were truly sad, such as the emperor and the disciples of the Fajia family, most of the civilians and the disciples of the Hundred Schools were actually more popular. They watched the hearse leave Xianyang, and many people gathered together to rejoice. If the emperor had not ordered that any banquets and entertainment be prohibited within one tenth of the year of Xianyang, it would have been overcrowded in the entire Quyuan Gardens in Xianyang.
"Li Si, you are finally dead. Now you are purified. No one will know my identity again... Hehe... Hahahaha..."
In a closed room in the Imperial Medical Office of the Imperial Palace, Zhao Gao, wearing a mask, couldn't help but laugh so hard that his scalp was numb. He took out a bamboo tube from his cuff and poured a colorful ghost-faced silkworm inside into a pottery cup. After observing for a while, he poured it in a cup of boiling water and scalded it to death and threw it into the trash can along with the pottery cup.
The Miao people are good at using poison and are good at catching and raising poisonous insects. In the deep mountains and wildernesses of Bashu and Guizhou, there are countless poisonous insects and snakes, many of which are blood-sealed objects.
Whether it was the poisonous snake that bit Li Gui last time or the larva of the ghost-faced poisonous moth today, these are highly poisonous objects in the deep mountains and wild ridges of the Lingnan region, the Miao witch doctors are very familiar with these poisonous insects. After being rescued by two Miao witches, Zhao Gao has been with him and learned to collect medicine and make medicine. Over the years, he has also known a lot about poisonous insects. Since his identity was discovered by Li Gui, Zhao Gao was in panic all day long. However, after receiving Li Si's letter, he began to plan how to return to Xianyang again. But at the same time, in order to eliminate future troubles, he naturally wanted to kill the only two people who knew his current identity.
Now that Li Si is dead, Zhao Gao feels that he can finally live in the palace openly, and no one will know his true identity again.
