I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 91. Yixiang
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!
Li Wan was taken aback, and hurried to the side hall to fetch a map of the capital.
Facing the map spread out on the table, Qin Nuo carefully checked the details, while flipping the memory in his mind, the memorial to the area where the disease was the most serious.
His finger runs along the blue line, which is the direction of the river.
Yes, the most serious diseases are in several cities in the same water area! What really spreads this kind of bacteria or virus is polluted water sources! The air droplets he thought before were just assistance.
Discovering this truth, Qin Nuo was excited.
He suppressed his mood, continued to think deeply, and found the root cause, then how to save it?
Huo Youjuan watched Qin Nuo's face change repeatedly, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately summon the prime minister, the household department, and the criminal department..." Qin Nuo successively named several important ministers.
After only a while, all the adults entered the palace one after another. Because of the epidemic, the court officials are also very nervous, waiting to be summoned at any time.
In the hall of discussion, hearing the emperor's judgment, several people were surprised at first.
But after Qin Nuo talked about Qin Han's affairs and his own inference process, he checked the map especially. Everyone quickly accepted this argument.
Think even deeper.
"The emperor thinks that someone poisoned it?" Huo Donglai frowned.
Qin Nuo was startled, "Isn't this impossible?"
Any poison or medicine, after being diluted by water, will only become shallower and shallower, and it is impossible to cause such a large range of lethality.
"What if the poisoning continues?" Huo Donglai asked rhetorically.
Fan Wensheng reported: "The Wuli country is rampant with poison, and the miasma is permeated. There are many insiders who are proficient in strange ways. In the past, our army has repeatedly conquered the Nanchen remnant party, and has been frustrated by its weird miasma and Epidemic. Now that the Nanchen Puppet Emperor has ascended the throne in Uli Kingdom, if he really gathers local strangers and strangers, he is very likely to do this insidious trick."
Everyone in the hall was almost shocked. If this epidemic is really Nan Chen's handwriting, then this technique is simply unheard of.
Qin Nuo realized that later generations did have methods such as germ warfare and chemical warfare. But in this ancient time when productivity was lagging behind, it was incredible to be able to come up with such a method.
"The emperor, please mobilize the five-cities soldiers and horses to search the upper reaches of these water sources." Huo Donglai said immediately.
"The minister asked the emperor to immediately make an order to close the wells in these neighborhoods, and then organize water sales." Fan Wensheng reported.
……
The origin of the epidemic was determined, and one response plan was quickly proposed.
White light appeared faintly from the horizon, and light once again descended on this huge empire, this prosperous and sickly capital.
The discussion hall is still busy, and many officials have been mobilized.
From the middle of the night until the morning time is over, there is still a lot of people in the conference hall. Qin Nuo ordered the Imperial Dining Room to prepare breakfast for the important ministers who stayed up late and worked overtime, and took advantage of his free time to get up and return to Qianyuan Palace by himself.
The meal has already been prepared in the side hall, and Qin Nuo has no appetite. He just drank a bowl of japonica rice and matsutake porridge at will, then put down his chopsticks.
When I went to the study, I saw Huo Youjuan and Dong Bo talking on the side of the bookcase.
Since the Jinyi Sect instigated the people to initiate civil upheavals, Qin Nuo ordered Dongbo to come to Qianyuan Hall every morning after the early dynasty to report the people's situation outside the palace. Although both the Imperial Household Department and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses had established institutions to monitor people's conditions, Qin Nuo did not relax his power.
Most of the Secret Reporters lurking in teahouses and restaurants, and the sources of information are more diverse. As a supplement to the news from North Korea and China, the two phases are compared to detect any disturbances earlier.
After seeing Qin Nuo coming in, the two saluted. Qin Nuo's attention was quickly attracted by what was on Huo Youjian's hand.
That is a bright yellow talisman paper.
The rune paper that was stolen in the hospital before was replaced with the copycat version of rune paper that was popular in the palace.
Because of the epidemic, the palace was panicked. There were rumors among the people that the Jinyi Sect's talisman paper kit had the magical effect of exorcising evil spirits, and the palace also received news.
But the kits are expensive and limited in quantity, which are not available to ordinary people. So this kind of copycat version came into being. They are all Taoist yellow papers with ghost symbols that are exactly the same as those of the leader of Jinyi. Let’s be a psychological comfort. Qin Nuo found one on Li Wan's body before.
The one in Huo Youjuan's hand was taken from Qin Nuo's table, and it was one of the stacks used by thieves to steal beams and exchange posts.
"The emperor!" Huo Youjian looked a little excited when the ceremony was over.
"I just carefully identified this kind of talisman paper and found that it has a subtle fragrance on it. It is most likely left by the person who put the talisman paper or made the talisman paper."
Qin Nuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to get the talisman paper, but Huo Youjuan flashed it past.
"The emperor, the taste on the paper is weak, too many people touch it, it will definitely affect the breath, it is better to ask the perfumer to come and distinguish."
Qin Nuo reacted, and immediately ordered Li Wan to summon a perfumer under the royal doctor monk of the Imperial Hospital who was good at this.
Not long after, a few experienced spice experts arrived. Everyone dared not touch the talisman paper with their hands, put it in the jade box, and carefully identified it.
Soon, a perfumer knelt down and said: "The fragrance is elegant, slightly bitter, like a sleepwalking fragrance."
Sleepwalking is a very popular spice among the noble circles today. It is said that after smelling it, there is a feeling of ecstasy, and it can even make people feel the thrill of flying through the clouds and going straight to the clouds.
When he was still King Chun, Qin Xun strongly recommended this spice to him. But Qin Nuo stayed away from this kind of soft poison and the same thing. Although it is a bit too much to say that it is a poison or a product, it should be something similar to five stone powder in ancient times.
The imperial doctor carefully distinguished and pointed out: "The spices are more bitter than ordinary sleepwalking, which seems to increase the weight of sleeping and nursing medicines such as Lingling and Wormwood."
"Has anyone in the palace prepared similar spices or medicines recently?" Qin Nuo asked immediately.
The medicinal materials of the palace are strictly managed. If you want spices, you can only go through the two departments of Shanggong Bureau and Tai Hospital.
A perfumer fell on his knees and said, "Enlighten the emperor, before the servant girl... used to make it for the concubine Lin Xian."
The perfumer is a female officer, she looks very young, with a beautiful face, maybe it is the first time to talk to the emperor, she is a little excited, her cheeks are flushed.
Qin Nuo was immediately attracted by her words.
"Concubine Lin Xian... When is she?"
The female officer paused, calmed down, and said in detail: "Since the little prince died, the concubine has often been unable to sleep well. She summoned the servants and made some spices for her to sleep. The servants recommended sleepwalking to her. The concubine divine concubine has used it very effectively. She also rewarded her servant with a golden hairpin. More than half a month ago, the concubine divine concubine summoned her servant and said that the original spice was not very useful. The dosage of the sleeping ingredients..."
Some of the female officials who perfume in the palace are also part-time doctors, helping some concubines or palace people in the inner palace to regulate their bodies.
Unexpectedly, I found the clue so easily!
It turned out to be Concubine Lin Xian? Although there are only a few suspects, as Concubine Lin Xian, why do you want to do such a thing?
After all, Concubine Lin Xian is Qin Cong's concubine and one of the four concubines who had given birth to a prince.
After finding that the talisman was missing yesterday, the Criminal Ministry urgently took all those involved in the matter for questioning and searched the room. Concubine Lin Xian was also searched once, but I heard that Concubine Lin Xian had been weak since the death of the little prince. She was frightened by yesterday's search and fell ill again.
How to do it? Just rush in to search for the palace? It's too simple and rude. Whether the impact is good or not is the next thing. The key is that if Concubine Lin Xian is not scared, she jumps over the wall and destroys the evidence...
When the time comes, even if her family is ransacked, it won't be enough to compensate!
Huo Youjuan thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have a plan... and I need the doctor's daughter to cooperate."
*************
The North Palace has always been the place where all the toffees stayed forever. After the death of Emperor Jing Yao, all the high-ranking concubines in the harem moved here.
Not long ago, Qin Cong died, and a group of newcomers came here.
Compared with the uneven age of Emperor Jing Yao's concubines, Qin Cong's harem is mostly young women in their teens or 20s. Although they are young, they have no hope. Since then, the palace will be locked up, and I have been wasted here for a lifetime.
There is a deep twilight atmosphere floating in the entire palace, and the atmosphere becomes more intense when the sun sets.
There is hardly any figure in sight on the palace road. Many palace rooms extinguished the light early and went to sleep as soon as they had dinner.
In the side hall of a palace room, a slender figure stood outside the window, staring at the dark night without speaking for a long time.
Has been used to this state of the master, the maids in the several palaces were busy, and no one came to disturb them. Until there are guests visiting.
"Niang Niang, Master Cai Xiang came to see you."
Listening to the voice of the maidservant, Concubine Lin Xian suddenly realized that she turned and went to the inner hall: "Why is she free to come here?"
"I said I came to ask you, how good was the spice that I made the last time?" The palace lady laughed.
Concubine Lin Xian put on her coat and came to the front hall.
Master Cai Xiang was standing in front of the hall, talking and laughing with a few little palace ladies, and seeing Concubine Lin Xian coming out, bowed and saluted, and smiled: "The empress looks much better."
It takes courage to be able to turn a blind eye to Concubine Lin’s dark circles, and to speak these words! Several court ladies retreated to one side.
Lin Xianfei barely smiled: "Thanks to your spices. Your craftsmanship is really excellent."
Also instructed to give a seat left and right.
"Slaves and maidservants do not dare to be the empress to praise." Cai Xiangshi sat down and said with a smile.
There was a little silence in the hall. Concubine Lin Xian was silent for a moment, and then said: "I saw you guys saying that you were happy just now. What are you talking about?"
"I'm telling the good news. The disease outside can be regarded as rescued. The hospital has solved the solution." Master Cai Xiang smiled.
"Did you get the solution?" Lin Xianfei was taken aback, and almost dropped the tea cup in her hand.
"Yes, it's been said outside that the hospital has already deployed special medicines urgently. Didn't you always worry about Chengdong's family members before, Empress? It's all right now." Master Cai Xiang said with a smile.
Lin Xianfei's face was uncertain and did not speak.
The close female officer next to her smiled cheerfully: "This is really great news. Hey, these people who were too hospitalized before, wanted to ask them for some talisman paper pills and refused to give it. Now it's all right. Everyone is saved."
The five or six maids in the temple are also full of joy. Although they are in the palace, many of them have family members and friends outside the palace. The epidemic is epidemic, and it is impossible to say when they will suffer. In the palace, it is even worse! Now that there is an understanding party, there is no need to be frightened anymore.
"I haven't gotten it out for so long, why so soon..." Lin Xianfei murmured.
The maid smiled and said: "Yeah, I haven't figured it out for so long. We still scold those quack doctors three times a day, but it's all right now."
"Well, it would be nice if Yuqin was here too." A little court lady sighed in a low voice.
The laughter in the room suddenly disappeared. Yuqin was the close-knit lady who was ordered to collect medicinal materials for Concubine Lin Xian that night. It is said that something important was lost in the hospital that night, something that was made by the emperor. As a result, all the servants who had been to the Taiyuan Hospital that day were arrested and sent to the Shen Xing Department.
Master Cai Xiang smiled and comforted: "The lady doesn't have to worry, it's just the theft in the palace. As long as it is revealed as soon as possible, I believe that Yuqin will be released soon."
"Yes, Niang Niang, your status is honorable, and Yuqin must not suffer much." The palace man beside him comforted.
Seeing that the words were almost done, Master Cai Xiang got up, took out a sachet from the carrying case, and smiled: "Manny, this is the new spice prepared by the slave servant for you. It is the last recipe. Son, I added something to calm the mind and relieve the headache."
"I make you bother." Lin Xianfei smiled, and the female officer next to her took the sachet and presented it to her.
The embroidery is exquisite, and it also has a delicate buckle. At first glance, it was made according to her own taste, and Lin Xianfei liked it at first glance. When you put it on the nose, there is a clear fragrance.
Since the prince's death and Qin Cong's death, she moved to the North Palace, and she has been left out in the cold. This Master Cai Xiang has served her as always.
Seeing that the sky is getting late, Concubine Lin Xian ordered her to reward Master Cai Xiang and send her out of the palace gate.
The sky is completely dark outside.
Walking on the forest path, Cai Xiangshi turned his head and looked at the closed gate, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
