Chapter 517 Reasons for Poisoning
Zhang Ji's words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking Cai Yan.
After a while, she murmured, "Oh my God, the young master is poisoned?!" She turned her head and asked Luo Bu who was dazed, "Guard Luo, what did the young master eat tonight, why was he poisoned?"
Rob scratched the back of his head and said, "Go back to Miss Zhaoji, the lord has never eaten anything other than the banquet rewarded by the emperor?"
"Guard Luo," Zhang Ji said, twisting his beard, "Go and invite Doctor Hua quickly, I want to consult him."
Before Rob left, Xiahou Yun, Han Yan, Lihua and others who received the news rushed over and asked in a verbal manner: "Zhao Ji, what happened to the young master?"
Because the room was too noisy, Cai Yan did not answer everyone's questions immediately. Instead, after quieting down, he looked at Zhang Ji beside him and said, "Doctor Zhang said that the young master was poisoned."
"Poisoned?!"
"Are you poisoned?"
Everyone was shocked by Cai Yan's words and asked what was going on.
"Don't panic, everyone." Seeing everyone's panic, Zhang Ji hurriedly comforted them and said, "Although the lord is poisoned, it is not very toxic. After Dr. Hua arrives here and consults with me, he can treat his lord."
Xiahou Yun was the most knowledgeable person among the people. After a brief panic, she quickly returned to normal. She got up and walked to the door, and said to the Tiger Guards guarding the door: "Go and invite General Chen Dao here."
After a while, Chen Da arrived at the door and asked respectfully: "What instructions does the Captain Xiahou have?"
"General Chen," Xiahou Yun asked, "I wonder who else would go to the palace tonight to have a banquet with the young master?"
"And there is Military Advisor Guo."
"Send someone to the military advisor Guo's mansion immediately to see if he has been poisoned." Xiahou Yun ordered Chen Dao: "If you are poisoned, come back and report immediately; if you are not poisoned, please ask him to go to the provincial governor's mansion immediately."
"Sister Yun," Han Yan heard the other party at Xiahou Yun and Chen Dao at the door, and also stood up and walked over, asking tentatively: "Do you need to call General Zilong and the others?"
"This is inappropriate." Regarding Han Yan's proposal, Xiahou Yun waved his hand and said, "We don't know what happened, so we can recruit General Zilong, which may cause panic. In my opinion, we should wait until Military Advisor Guo comes and let's ask what's going on."
Hua Tuo, who arrived first, came to the house, and he didn't care about meeting the girls, so he knelt on the couch to take Han Zhan's pulse. After a while, he let go of his hand, sighed softly, and looked at Zhang Ji and said, "Brother Zhang's diagnosis is correct. The lord is indeed poisoned."
"Guard Luo," Hua Tuo asked Rob curiously: "I don't know where the lord went tonight and what did he eat?"
"Today, the lord brought the opera troupe to the palace to perform his work, and he was given a banquet to the emperor in the evening." Rob quickly replied, "But the villain is low in status. When the lord was having a banquet, the villain was waiting outside the hall, and he didn't know what he had eaten?"
Seeing that there was no useful value from Rob, Hua Tuo shook his head with a wry smile and said to Zhang Ji: "Now I don't even know how the lord was poisoned. How to detoxify him?"
"Today, Military Advisor Guo also entered the palace with his lord. He should be very clear about what he ate." Zhang Ji said to Hua Tuo: "Miss Xiahou has sent someone to invite Military Advisor Guo. When he comes, just ask, you can figure out what happened."
"Two miraculous doctors," Xiahou Yun asked anxiously: "If Military Advisor Guo was also poisoned, he might not be able to come here. Why don't you detoxify the lord first?"
"Miss Xiahou, don't worry," Hua Tuo said to Xiahou Yun: "Although the lord is poisoned, it is less toxic and will not have any worries about his life. I think it's better to wait until Military Advisor Guo arrives and I will ask him carefully so that the right medicine can be prescribed."
Xiahou Yun originally wanted to say a few words, but Cai Yan stopped him: "Let me listen to the two miracle doctors. They will never let the young master get into trouble."
After two incense sticks, Guo Jia followed Chen Dao's Tiger Guards to the Prefecture Palace. As soon as he walked into the room, he was shocked when he saw Han Zhan lying on the couch. He quickly came to the couch and asked Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji: "Two miracle doctors, is the lord really poisoned?"
"That's it." After Hua Tuo gave Guo Jia an affirmative answer, he began to ask what they had eaten in the palace.
Guo Jia told Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji all the food he had eaten at the dinner, and finally said: "Most of the imperial chefs in the palace are from Jizhou, and they should not have any malicious intentions towards their lords. Moreover, the food I ate was completely similar to that of their lords, but they were not poisoned. In this way, it seems that it was because of what the lord had eaten after returning to the house that led to the poisoning."
"Zhao Ji," Xiahou Yun immediately asked Cai Yan when he heard Guo Jia say this: "Have you ever eaten for him after the young master returned home?"
"No." Cai Yan shook his head and frowned and said, "When the young master came back, he was drunk. I was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so I gave him a bowl of honey water."
"Drink a bowl of honey water?" Hua Tuo asked quickly, "I wonder where the remaining honey water is?"
Cai Yan quickly asked the maid to bring the remaining half bowl of honey water. Hua Tuo took the bowl and brought it to his nose to smell it. Then he dipped his fingers a little and put it in his mouth.
Looking at Hua Tuo's frowning, Zhang Ji hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"The honey water has a slightly bitter taste." Hua Tuo said, handing the bowl to Zhang Ji, "You can try it too."
Zhang Ji followed Hua Tuo's appearance, dipped his fingers in honey water, and then put them in his mouth: "That's right, it really has a little bitterness."
"Zhao Ji," Hua Tuo saw that Zhang Ji had tasted the honey water, turned his head to Cai Yan beside him: "I wonder where this honey comes from?"
"Is there any problem with honey?" Cai Yan heard Hua Tuo ask about the origin of honey, and immediately realized that there might be something wrong with honey. He hurriedly replied: "It was given by an old friend from Yangzhou. It is said to be from the mountains and fields. Because it is too precious, I have never drunk it. Today, seeing the young master being drunk, I sobered up a bowl for him to sober up. Doctor Hua, is this honey poisonous?"
"The honey collected between the mountains and the wild is indeed the best among honey." Hua Tuo twisted his beard and said thoughtfully: "But if the bees accidentally collect toxic pollen during the process of collecting nectar, the honey brewed will carry toxins and become a dose of poison."
Everyone exclaimed: "Ah, honey can also be poisonous?"
After Hua Tuo's reminder, Zhang Ji suddenly realized: "The meaning of Yuanhua is that when wild bees collect pollen in the mountains, they accidentally collected poisonous flowers, which turned honey into poison."
"That's right, I mean that."
"Yuanhua, what do you think it will be?"
"Judging by the taste, it should be Thunder Vine."
"Thunder Vine?!"
"Thunderbolt vine is a medicinal herb with a bitter taste and a good medicine for curing diseases. But if it is mixed into honey, it will become a poison. If people eat it, they will be poisoned; if the dose is too large, they will be worried about their lives."
When Cai Yan and others were frightened after drinking this kind of honey, they quickly asked, "Two miraculous doctors, I don't know what to do to save a young master."
"You all misunderstood that although this honey is poisonous, it will not be fatal because the lord consumes it inadequately." Hua Tuo comforted everyone and said, "When I give him a few acupuncture needles, I will be safe tomorrow. But that honey must not be used again, otherwise my life will be in danger."
