Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"My lord, it's because I ate too many mushrooms and had hallucinations. After drinking a few medicines and resting for a few days, I'll be fine. Don't worry, my lord."

Dr. Jiang got Junziyou's pulse, wrote Zhang Fangzi, and handed it over to Steward Liu to get the medicine. Before he left, the latter still taunted: "This trip to the palace is really not in vain. Look at his bulging like March." Pregnant belly, you really don’t have to eat less.”

Xiao Beicheng said coldly: "Say a few words, and call Jiang Linyuan to this king by the way."

The man waited for Jun Ziyou's news at Dali Temple as agreed, so naturally he didn't know that the latter had been cut off and such a thing happened.

When he arrived after hearing the news, Jun Ziyou was being drugged by Dr. Jiang to induce vomiting, he vomited all his bile, and was lying on the bed moaning, with a half-dead character.

Seeing Shen Ci pouring out a mess of dry goods from his coat, Jiang Linyuan understood everything when he saw it, and hurriedly apologized to Xiao Beicheng.

"My lord, forgive me. It's because I failed to take good care of Mr. Shaoqing that he suffered this crime."

Although Jiang Linyuan was looked down upon inside and out, Xiao Beicheng was not unreasonable. Hearing the ins and outs of him, the creases between his brows deepened. He got up and went out. He took out the cigarette stick outside and asked Shen Ci to help him light it up. Yansi said to Jiang Linyuan who was following up: "Concubine Li has an accident, the emperor let me avoid suspicion, it is justifiable, but it is in every way wrong to let foreign ministers intervene."

"I don't dare to speculate on the holy will, but since the emperor let your lord take charge of this case, he intends to break the current deadlock. I feel that this may be an opportunity for Dali Temple to turn around."

Already on board the wrecked ship, both Junziyou and Jiang Linyuan wanted to restore the Dali Temple's authority to handle cases, and when they saw a straw, they wanted to grab it desperately.

That's why he didn't care about it, tried all kinds of stewed chicken with mushrooms in the imperial dining room, and made himself look like this.

Xiao Beicheng was helpless, but his heart was more distressed. If he had not been so considerate of face at the Qionghua Banquet and said a few words of pleading for him, he would not have to work as hard as he is now.

He sighed and shook his head. After a moment of silence, Dr. Jiang pushed the door open and invited him into the inner room.

"My lord, Sir Shaoqing has something to tell you."

Xiao Beicheng hastily extinguished the fireworks, patted on the clothes all over his body, and walked in the door when he couldn't smell anything anymore.

At this moment, Junziyou's eyes are black, his face is blue, his lips are purple, and he is still talking nonsense, "Jiang Da... Jiang doctor, what can I do if I spit bubbles..."

Xiao Beicheng glanced at Dr. Jiang when he heard the words, and complained that he invited himself here just to listen to these crazy words?The latter had no choice but to remind King Jin in a low voice that Jun Ziyou blinked his eyes and woke up a little.

"Wang, lord, come quickly, come and see, why can't I feel my tongue?"

He didn't want to mess around with him at first, but the gentleman pounced on him after talking, pushed Xiao Beicheng to the chair behind him, and stuck out his tongue, insisting on showing him.

This mouth is good, Xiao Beicheng not only saw the blackened tip of his tongue, but also smelled a strange aroma from his mouth, obviously he had eaten something more poisonous than mushroom mushrooms by mistake.

Seeing this, Jiang Linyuan said: "Your Majesty, maybe the problem lies in those mushrooms. Concubine Pear also experienced hallucinations after eating them, which is very similar to the reaction of adults now."

Xiao Beicheng ordered: "Shen Ci, show those mushrooms to Doctor Jiang."

However, Dr. Jiang is not a village woman who is good at distinguishing wild animals in the mountains, and she can't see any way to dry mushrooms, only thinking that they are no different from those that ordinary people eat.

"If you have just picked fresh mushrooms, you may be able to see the difference. I dare not speak nonsense, please forgive me, my lord."

"And I ate too much at once, and I can't tell which bowl is wrong..."

Jun Ziyou pursed his lips and moaned and said, he felt his body slipped a few inches, so he used both hands and feet without hesitation, and climbed onto Xiao Beicheng's body.

When everyone saw this scene, they didn't dare to speak.

Xiao Beicheng gritted his teeth and said, "You... go down!"

"Also, there is one thing that puzzles me. It has not been a day or two since Concubine Li entered the palace. She has tasted all the delicacies of mountains and seas. How can she be so addicted to eating mushrooms during these days? Something is wrong. Except mushrooms Besides, her diet must have been tampered with."

He reasoned seriously about the case, Xiao Beicheng had no choice but to retract the hand that wanted to throw him to the ground.

Jiang Linyuan said at the right time: "My lord, I also went to investigate the entry and exit records of the Weiyang Palace today, and found a palace lady who frequently went out of the palace, but she didn't go back to her hometown to visit her relatives. She was Yingchun. She would come back every time she left the palace for half a day. Starting from three months after Concubine Pear entered the palace, at first it was once a month, then half a month, ten days later, the frequency became more and more frequent, and the behavior was very suspicious."

Holding the dried mushrooms handed over by Shenci, Xiao Beicheng thought thoughtfully, "My lord has heard that there are many mushrooms growing in southern Yunnan. They are similar in shape, but they are very different. Some are very poisonous. Immediately after the entrance, some people will have hallucinations after eating, and they will die if they are not treated in time. Judging by the situation, Li Concubine is obviously the latter."

"Sir Shaoqing also had the same reaction, which means that there is still evidence left in the imperial dining room, why not report to the emperor quickly..."

"It's been a few hours since he left the palace. If there is any problem, it should be dealt with. If you go back at this time, you won't find any clues. If you want evidence, isn't there?"

Xiao Beicheng pointed at the filth that the gentleman vomited in the spittoon, and Dr. Jiang couldn't help but interjected: "Master Shaoqing is really a god, the mushrooms you eat are swallowed whole, and the shape is still the same, just spit it out. I suffered a little when I was there, but I worked hard enough for the case."

Jiang Linyuan looked distressed: "This..."

"Don't feel embarrassed, even if you look through those things, you won't see any tricks. Why don't you bring them to the Ministry of Punishment tomorrow and let them have a more informed look."

Sure enough, the means are sophisticated.

But what Jiang Linyuan thought in his heart was that he could swallow whole mushrooms whole. It's really not easy for him as a boss. If he does that kind of thing in the future... he won't suffer too much.

Shen Ci knew that his lord still hated the cynicism of the little lord today, otherwise he wouldn't have to make things difficult for Ye Lanchen. their subordinates.

Early the next morning, Jiang Linyuan sent the things to the Criminal Department, Ye Lanchen was so angry that his face turned green, but it was the emperor who gave this job to Dali Temple, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to complain, so he had to let the people below and checked.

However, the result was unexpected. The mushrooms that Jun Ziyou ate were all ordinary mushrooms. There was no problem, even if he ate too much, he should not have hallucinations.

When this word spread back to Prince Jin's mansion, people naturally had reason to suspect that what happened yesterday was all a monkey show performed by the gentleman, and the person who was most angry was Xiao Beicheng who had been teased by him. Which relationship.

"There is no problem with the mushrooms. It doesn't mean that what he eats is clean. Last night, the king was thinking that he swallowed the mushrooms whole. Without chewing, the toxicity shouldn't spread too fast, but he He started to mess up just after he left the palace gate, if it wasn't for pretending, the problem was with other ingredients."

"Mushroom stewed chicken, is the prince suspecting something wrong with the chicken?"

"The chickens in the imperial dining room are all raised in captivity. There may be little problem. What the king suspects are the ingredients and spices of the stewed chicken. You should first find out where the maid went out of the palace and who she had contact with. , and bought something, the rest will be given when he wakes up."

Naturally, Jiang Linyuan didn't know that Xiao Beicheng firmly believed that Junziyou was indeed hallucinating due to poisoning, and that the reason why he didn't deliberately play tricks was that he personally guarded Nongyu Xiaozhu last night.

This night, the gentleman did not sleep soundly. Ansheng would get up and vomit a few mouthfuls after a while, but there was nothing left in his stomach, and the vomit was only fed with warm water, which gradually subsided.

When he woke up, the sun had already shone high, he hurriedly washed his hands, tidied up his clothes, and asked Housekeeper Liu to send a message, and then he went back to the palace.

Now he can go anywhere without hindrance. It can be seen that Emperor Yuan has indeed given him the power to conduct a thorough investigation. If it weren't for the foreign ministers stepping into the harem against the rules, he would really like to stay in Weiyang Palace for a long time every day, and take a good look at Concubine Li. Reaction.

He found the little eunuch who led the way yesterday, and hooked up with people all the way, bewitching the routine, "Yesterday I saw the empress of the pear concubine, her eyes were bloodshot, it was indeed after being strangled. But now Weiyang There are not many people serving in the palace, and Yingchun is too timid to get close to Concubine Li, who found her who almost died?"

"Yes... it's the palace lady who is going to deliver meals."

"Oh? Meal delivery, isn't this matter always left to the palaces by the imperial dining room? Don't deceive me that I don't know the rules."

The little eunuch pursed his lips and looked disgusted, "My lord, you know everything, so don't force me to ask you. If someone settles the score, I won't be able to save my life."

"Hey, I'm new here too. I'm a new official, so I can't disappoint the emperor, can I? My duty is only to find out the truth. As for whether the emperor believes it or not, and how to choose, that's not our business, so you... "

Jun Ziyou deliberately stuffed something into the little eunuch's hand, but the latter thought it was money and dared not show his face, seeing him waiting eagerly, he had to succumb to the temptation of money, approached him, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it is Concubine Yan."

"Oh? It looks like a story, let's hear it."

"The noble concubine Yan is now acting as the responsibilities of the middle palace. The only noble concubine is older than the concubines in the palace, and she handles things prudently, but she is not liked by the emperor. After so many years, she has no children under her knees. That's why she especially hates those concubines who are seductive and seductive. Earlier, she even gave one to death..."

Jun Ziyou let out a meaningful "oh", pulled the man away, found a secluded corner, and pressed him against the wall to ask, "Then let me ask you, what do you think of the death of Concubine Yan and the oiran outside the palace?" Is it related, is it possible that she did it?"

"My lord, Empress Qi...wasn't she killed by Concubine Yan?"
