Chapter 518 A false alarm

Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and others were in the prefecture palace to treat Han Zhan. When Han Zhan was poisoned, the news of Han Zhan being poisoned entered the palace through some special channel.

When the Zhongchang Shi Zhang Yu heard the news, he was immediately frightened and looked deserted. He trotted to Emperor Xian of Han's bedroom despite the fact that it was getting late.

When he guarded the small yellow gate outside the door, he saw someone running towards the bedroom and immediately shouted: "Stop! Who dares to trespass his Majesty's bedroom."

"Little bastard, get out of our house." Zhang Yu pushed open the Xiaohuang door that blocked the road, pushed open the door of the bedroom and rushed in. Xiaohuang door saw clearly that it was the Zhongchang Shi Zhang Yu who was pushing him, so he didn't dare to say anything, and followed him quietly.

I saw Zhang Yu rushed to the bed of Emperor Xian of Han, kneeling to the ground with a thud, and shouting in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, disaster is here!"

Hearing Zhang Yu's shout, Empress Fu, who was sleeping beside Emperor Xian of Han, sat up, lifted a corner of the curtain, poked her head out and called Zhang Yu's name and asked, "Zhang Yu, what's wrong? I'm going to disturb Your Majesty in the middle of the night?"

Although there was anger in Queen Fu's tone, Zhang Yu didn't care at all. Compared with life and death, Queen Fu's anger was basically negligible. He kowtowed heavily and said hurriedly: "The old slave just got the news from outside the palace. The Marquis of Anyang returned to the mansion and fell into a coma. The Marquis of Anyang invited the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing into the mansion. After diagnosis and treatment, he found that he was poisoned."

When Queen Fu learned that Han Zhan was poisoned, she immediately realized that the matter was of great importance and quickly retracted her to the tent and shook Emperor Xian of Han hard: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up quickly!"

Emperor Xian of Han, who was awakened, opened his eyes in a daze and asked unhappily: "Zi Tong, why did you wake me up? Are you going to court at dawn?"

"Your Majesty, something happened." Seeing that Emperor Xian of Han was still sleepy, Queen Fu hurriedly approached his ear and said loudly: "The Central General Attendant Zhang Yu came to report that the Marquis of Anyang returned to the mansion and was unconscious. After being diagnosed by the miracle doctor Zhang Ji, she found that she was poisoned."

"What, Anyang Hou was poisoned?" Hearing that Han Zhan was poisoned, Emperor Xian of Han was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat, and his sleepiness was scared to the point of no trace. He sat up suddenly, lifted the curtain, and asked Zhang Yu, who was kneeling beside the couch, and said, "Zhang Yu, what's going on? How could Anyang Hou get poisoned?"

"Reply to Your Majesty's words," Zhang Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, replied: "The diet of Anyang Marquis on the table is exactly the same as that of His Majesty. And every time I serve the dishes, the old slave carefully checked it. There is absolutely no problem with the diet. As for how Anyang Marquis was poisoned, the old slave is unknown."

"Zhang Yu," Queen Fu, who was sitting next to Emperor Xian of Han, then asked: "What about the other court officials who attended the banquet?"

"The old slave has sent someone to inquire." Zhang Yu quickly replied, "I'm afraid there will be rewards soon."

"No matter what, immediately arrest the imperial chefs who were preparing for dinner." Emperor Xian of Han couldn't help but be frightened when he remembered Dong Zhuo, who had upset the harem in the past. He said tremblingly: "If Anyang Marquis has nothing to do with it, his subordinates will come to the palace to raise an army to ask for punishment, and then hand over these people to take the blame."

"Old I obey the order." Zhang Yu agreed, got up from the ground, and retreated out of the bedroom.

Seeing Zhang Yu leave the bedroom, Emperor Xian of Han jumped off the bed and walked back and forth in the bedroom with his hands behind his back. Queen Fu was worried that he would catch a cold, so she took a cloak and put it on him, comforting him and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. According to my opinion, Marquis of Anyang is a loyal and righteous man. If he could be safe and sound, he would never pursue this matter."

"The Marquis of Anyang is quite popular, and the civil and military officials in Jizhou are all loyal to him." Emperor Xian of Han said frightenedly: "If he had any faults, I am worried that his subordinates would slaughter the palace."

When Empress Fu heard Emperor Xian of Han say this, she immediately remembered Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others' mischief in the palace, and took human life aside, and couldn't help but fight a cold war. She lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I remember Dong Concubine Dong's father Dong Cheng, who had a strong relationship with many generals in Jizhou. If Anyang Hou really had any shortcomings, he would mediate it, and it might be possible to resolve the crisis."

After Empress Fu reminded him, Emperor Xian of Han immediately remembered that not only Dong Cheng had a strong relationship with the civil and military officials in Jizhou, but also the Grand Marshal Yang Biao, the Grand Marshal Zhu Jun and others could speak in front of the civil and military officials in Jizhou. If they really encountered soldiers and horses besieging the palace in Jizhou, they might be allowed to let these court officials come forward to resolve the anger of the civil and military officials in Jizhou.

Emperor Xian of Han and Empress Fu waited for about two incense sticks in the bedroom. Zhang Yu entered from outside again and reported to the two: "Your Majesty, the old slave has taken down all the imperial chefs and is tortured by the man. I believe that it will take not long to get a confession."

Some time ago, Yang Qi and others were expelled from the capital. Emperor Xian of Han was worried, fearing that Han Zhan would settle the score later. Since he heard that he was poisoned, a strange idea came to his mind. Could it be that Yang Qi's accomplices among these imperial chefs, they took the opportunity to give their owners a banquet and poisoned the Anyang Hou's diet?

Thinking of this, he asked Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu, you have to ask carefully to see if there are any accomplices from Yang Qi and others among these imperial chefs."

As the old man around Emperor Xian of Han, Zhang Yu was naturally not a fool. When Emperor Xian of Han mentioned Yang Qi's name, he immediately understood the other party's meaning. He quickly replied: "Please rest assured, your majesty. I will definitely pull Yang Qi's accomplices out of the imperial kitchen and give Anyang Hou an explanation."

Zhang Yu's words reminded Queen Fu. She felt that if she could really find Yang Qi's accomplices from the imperial kitchen, even if Han Zhan had something to do, she could transfer the anger of the civil and military officials in Jizhou to Yang Qi who was demoted to Qingzhou. She quickly reminded Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu, hurry up and tell the little yellow sects responsible for interrogation. You must find Yang Qi's accomplices, otherwise be careful of their heads."

Hearing Queen Fu said this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but gasp in his heart. He couldn't help but think: The queen is so cruel that she wants to force the poisoning of Anyang Marquis on Yang Qi and others. In this way, even if there is any accident in Anyang Marquis, Jizhou's civil and military can only settle the score with Yang Qi. But he thought about it, if it can really divert the anger of Jizhou civil and military, then the palace can be safe and sound. It would be better to die Yang Qi than the people in the palace.

After thinking about this joint, he hurried to the place where the imperial kitchen was interrogated again, preparing to instruct the small yellow gates to capture Yang Qi's accomplices from the imperial kitchen.

When Zhang Yu came to the imperial kitchen and followed a long distance, he heard screams inside and the sound of a whip whipping on people. When the little yellow gate guarding the door saw Zhang Yu coming, he nodded and said, "Old ancestor, you are here!"

Zhang Yu nodded, looked inside and asked, "How is it, have they confessed?"

"No." Xiaohuangmen replied: "These cooks are harder than the other. The younger ones have beaten them to the point of being slim, but no one admits that they have poisoned Anyang Hou's diet."

When Zhang Yu learned that the imperial chef inside refused to admit the poisoning, he was furious and was about to go in and ask the little yellow sects to teach them a lesson, but he heard a sharp voice behind him calling himself: "Old ancestor, ancestor!"

Zhang Yu stopped hearing the sound, turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came. A little yellow party ran to Zhang Yu panting and reported to him: "Report to the ancestors, the young man was ordered to go to the homes of several court officials to inquire, and they were all safe and sound."

"The court officials we told you to check are all safe and sound?" Zhang Yu couldn't help but mutter when he heard his confidant's report: "What's going on?" He felt that he should report this to Emperor Xian of Han immediately, and turned around and walked towards the bedroom. After walking a few steps, he heard the screams from the room, and quickly stopped again and ordered the small yellow door guarding the door, "Okay, let the little kids inside stop. How to deal with these imperial chefs? Let your Majesty talk after our family asks for instructions."

When Emperor Xian of Han saw Zhang Yu who had returned, he was shocked and asked quickly: "Zhang Yu, is something wrong?"

"Report to Your Majesty." Zhang Yu replied respectfully: "The old slave sent people to inquire and said that the court officials who were having a banquet together were all safe and sound. And the old slave had sent people to inquire again, and when there was news, they would immediately return it."

Although Zhang Yu sent people to inquire in time, after Han Zhan was poisoned, Chen Dao strengthened the vigilance around the mansion. In addition to three steps, one post and one quiver every five steps, there were also several mobile patrol teams patrolling back and forth on the streets. Not to mention people, even a mouse would not pass. The person in charge of inquiry could only look at the provincial governor's mansion from a distance, but could not get close to him, so he could only stomp his feet in a hurry.

It was almost dawn, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji came out of the mansion. Chen Dao knew that Han Zhan was safe and ordered the warning around the state and the governor's mansion to be lifted.

The spy took advantage of Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji passing by him, grabbed a follower, stuffed a few copper coins into the other party's hand, and asked tentatively: "What happened in the provincial governor's mansion? Why are you so cautious?"

The follower thought that this was not a great thing, so he casually said, "It's nothing big, it's just that Anyang Hou was poisoned." After that, he was about to leave.

The spy hurriedly grabbed the other party's sleeve and stuffed a handful of copper coins over: "How did Anyang Hou get poisoned? How is it now?"

"After returning from a banquet at the palace, Miss Cai in the mansion sobered up the honey water, but the honey was poisonous." The entourage stuffed the copper coins into the sleeve of the robe and said in a low voice: "The two miraculous doctors found out the cause of the poisoning and prescribed the right medicine. In less than half an hour, Anyang Hou woke up."
