There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

However, this is not a particularly serious situation. Several imperial physicians who took advantage of their age and seniority began to chatter, accusing Sang Kui of believing that someone was slandering the emperor.

This opium is a good medicine that has been used since ancient times, but no one of the ancestors has ever said that there is a problem!

The target of their malice is naturally Xu Yuyi and his apprentices who have recently begun to study Western medicine.

One of the most glaring oddities of early Western medicine was dissecting cadavers!This simply broke through the imagination of these imperial physicians, but Imperial Physician Xu actually agreed and did it himself!

What made people even more frightened was that a few days ago, Imperial Doctor Xu admitted a patient with intestinal abscess. Intestinal abscess is an incurable disease, and he died of pain.This person signed a contract when he was about to die, and allowed Doctor Xu to open his abdomen... He survived!

Therefore, many physicians or students of the new Jin Tai Hospital admire Dr. Xu Yu very much, and voluntarily joined the road of learning Western medicine concepts.The rest of the imperial physicians couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts, and looked at Xu Yuyi and his party with displeasure.

Encountering such a good opportunity now, I can't wait to rush out and clamor and criticize.

Regarding this, Imperial Physician Xu seemed extremely calm, and even drank a couple of sips of the tea offered by the medicine boy, as if he hadn't heard their conversation, and he didn't even intend to talk to these imperial physicians at all.

Another six hours passed, until the night when this group of people were taken in.

The imperial doctor on duty was dozing off on the table, and the drug boy who had gone to register this time hurried back, shouting in horror: "My lord, my lord! It's not good! My lord, hurry up and take a look? What's inside? problem occurs!"

The imperial doctors looked at each other, stood up one by one, yawned and walked outside while shaking their heads, some secretly muttered that the medicine boy had never seen the world and only knew how to make a fuss!

"My lords, why don't the adults who are resting inside also get up?" Yaotong still remembered Doctor Xu's order that everyone should be summoned if something happened.

"No need!" The leading imperial physician curled his lips, "I am the chief imperial physician on duty today, so I will be the master!"

Now that the doctor in charge opened his mouth, the drug boy could only be silent, and buried himself in the front and tried his best to lead the way.

Walking outside the gate of the west courtyard of Xiefang Hall, these imperial physicians felt that the situation was a little different from what they thought.

Dozens of guards with lanterns and torches surrounded the entire small courtyard with solemn expressions, and there were screams or sobs from inside from time to time.

The head of the guard looked anxious, hurriedly confirmed the identity plate with the imperial physician, and then opened the courtyard door to let them in.

The yard was brightly lit, and there were a dozen or so disheveled young eunuchs sitting on the bluestone slabs, with scratches and bite marks on their faces and hands, and one serious one was missing a finger, already trembling with fright, one A lost mind is like a dementia child.

The standing eunuch chief and more than a dozen other eunuchs were also sullen, and their expressions were really ugly.

Seeing the imperial physicians coming, the eyes of the group all fell on them.

The chief eunuch was overjoyed, he didn't care about his description being damaged, he jumped up and shouted: "My lord! My lord! Those, those people are crazy!"

"crazy?"

"Please go in and take a look!" The chief eunuch didn't care about anything else, so he could only lead a group of people to the gate of the hall quickly, and forced the two young eunuchs who were guarding the gate to push open the gate.

A strong bloody smell came to me.

"Gudu, Gulu..." The imperial physicians gathered at the door looked at the horrific scene inside, stunned, swallowing sounded from time to time, and they were all taken aback.

I saw a strong bloody smell in the previously clean and refreshing room, and there was also a faint smell of excrement and urine inside.

This house, the backyard at the top of the main hall and the side hall are all divided into small rooms by iron railings, and one person is locked up in each room.

Once the imperial physicians entered the main hall, they could see more than a dozen of them. These people were already dead or dead, lying on their backs on the ground, and occasionally one of their limbs twitched.

Before everyone could react, there were terrified screams and screams from the two side halls next to them. Only then did the imperial physicians recover from their fear, and crawled towards the room that made the noise. run away.

"Quick, hurry up and report to Imperial Doctor Xu." The last imperial physician remembered at this moment, and hurriedly told the medicine boy behind him, "Quick! Go!"

Yaotong's feet were weak, he knew that those people were still alive and well when he saw them just now, but they just went crazy.But now, they are about to die one by one!He nodded indiscriminately, fell in a panic, and rushed out without even knowing that his shoes were left in the hall.

The trustworthy Imperial Physician Xu rushed to the west courtyard of Xiefang Palace very quickly.

As soon as he walked into the hall, although he had expected it, his face was still heavy when he saw the appalling scene.But he didn't say a word, just hurried into the side hall where the imperial doctors gathered.

I saw someone clutching the iron railing with both hands, howling and banging their head against the railing. Blood had already flowed all over their face, but they seemed to have not noticed it at all, and they were still torturing themselves crazily; Grabbing the whole body, there were blood streaks all over the face and body, until foaming at the mouth, the whole body twitched and didn't stop.

The only thing they have in common is that they keep saying 'I want a cigarette, give me a cigarette! ! 'The words, combined with the scene, only make people feel creepy.

"This, what is this?"

"Is this addiction?"

"This is too scary, can these people stop it?"

The imperial doctors were in a mess, looking at the cruel picture of hell in front of them in panic, and they couldn't wait to ask the chief eunuch behind them.

The chief eunuch standing aside covered his mouth as if he was about to vomit, and said with a bitter face, "My lords, these people have suddenly become crazy from just now, we stretched out our hands to stop them and almost failed They bit off a piece of meat! How dare you open the cell and let them out..."

The chief eunuch shivered in fright when he thought of the scene in front of him just now.

Fortunately, he was working in an unoccupied palace at an early age, and he was afraid that he would run out of money and have no place to spend when he left the palace, so he never tried this opium that was very popular among eunuchs.

If it is smoked, maybe one of the lunatics in it is me!

The imperial physicians had serious faces, they didn't have the mood of gossiping just now, they carefully looked at each of the palace servants who suffered from drug addiction, and took turns to read the drug boy's record book.

There is one sentence in the mind of every imperial physician: This matter is serious!

Doctor Xu was fearless in the face of danger. He remembered that Kangxi had told several people to keep the templates for the courtiers to admire, so he quickly told the medicine boy to bring the opium that had been searched and deposited in the imperial hospital.

When the drug boy walked into the room with the pills in his hand, the screaming patients suddenly became extremely quiet. Everyone, whether they were lying down, standing up, or sitting up, stood up and stuck to the railing tightly, staring at each other. Staring at the small piece of unpretentious opium in the drug boy's hand.

The hall, which was noisy just now, has now become silent, without the slightest sound.It was quiet, so quiet that it made people feel frightened, and made the imperial doctors even more frightened.

Yaotong even stopped in his tracks, neither advancing nor retreating!

Maybe he noticed Yaotong's hesitation. The moment he stopped, the patients present started howling crazily: "Quick! Give it to me! Hurry up, give it to me!!!"

They even thought that the people in the next cage were enemies, and they couldn't touch them even if they stretched out their hands, but at this moment, they all stretched out their hands and waved at each other desperately to demonstrate!

"It's mine...give it to me first!!!"

After bursts of screams, the drug boy threw the opium into their compartment in horror, and the person who got it quickly picked up the bong that was thrown in the corner, and smoked with a face full of intoxication.

Not long after, his expression became extremely docile, and he lay limp on the ground, staring at the sky blankly.

The smell of opium drifted into the compartment, and the eyes of the people in other rooms were red. They knocked on the door of the compartment frantically, and even the iron railings were creaking at this moment, as if they were about to be killed by someone in the next second. Give the shock away.

The imperial doctors gasped, and quickly covered their mouths, fearing that they would also inhale the smell of opium, they scrambled out of the room and looked at the hall like a magic cave in front of them in horror.

"My lords..." The head eunuch grimaced, his teeth chattering, "What should we do now?"

"...What should I do? These people are already crazy!" An imperial physician panted heavily, and was stunned for a few seconds before replying angrily.

"These people have been smoking opium for more than three months." Another imperial doctor flipped through the medical book, frowned after reading it carefully, "at this level, I'm afraid it's too late to quit. ! Quitting is probably the same idea as the dozen or so people outside!"

"I think... it's better to get some opium to calm them down first, the emperor is still useful!"

"Yes, the emperor is still useful! We can't let them die like this!"

"I look at the room outside, I'm afraid someone has already died!"

Remembering the amount of blood spilled on the ground in the main hall just now, I am afraid that this person will not survive in all likelihood!

An imperial doctor looked terrified, he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ordered: "My father-in-law, when they regain their composure, hurry up and check them out, I'm afraid someone may be dead inside!"

After giving orders to the chief eunuch, the group of people hurried out of the yard before showing disgusted expressions on their faces.Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away to go back to their own rooms to have a good rest, Imperial Physician Xu, who was walking at the end, said slowly, "I still haven't gone to the East Hospital."

Are you the devil?

The rest of the imperial physicians all looked panic-stricken and their feet were trembling, but the task was the task.They could only walk into the east courtyard slowly after being mentally prepared. Fortunately, although there were many people screaming for a cigarette in the east courtyard, no one tried to beat themselves to death.

A group of young eunuchs inside were busy, tied up these people one by one according to the emperor's instructions, stuffed soft cloths into their mouths and let them struggle with whimpering, and they didn't let them go until they stopped.

"These people have smoked less than ten times or have just come across opium." The chief eunuch in charge of this area replied obediently.

The imperial doctors were relieved, at last this thing would cause madness after taking it.

Seeing that there was still a chance of rescue in the East Hospital, they gathered together to discuss and wrote a report not long after, and delivered it to Emperor Kangxi as quickly as possible through the envoy of the Imperial Hospital.

Kangxi naturally understood the disadvantages of opium, and with the affirmation of the imperial physicians, the speed of treatment became faster.

With the deepening of Li Yu's inspection, it is now a breeze to search for these opium addicts in the palace. Anyone who has a habit of smoking, listlessness, chills, dizziness, frequent shivering and yawning, or extremely thin in the past three months, there are ten out of ten. Eight or nine is it!

Those who couldn't be sure, were caught first and sent to Xiefang Palace for several days, and they were released only after it was confirmed that nothing happened.

A few days later, the shrill shouts of the Xiefang Palace day and night have attracted the attention of many people. There are rumors in the palace that this place has become a place for the imperial physicians to refine medicines—the imperial physicians who are the top ones have trouble saying no. exit.

These days, they were all haggard and emaciated. If there were not so many guards and eunuchs staring at them, Li Yu would have believed that these imperial doctors had also used opium in private!

Only with the investigation, some unknown information gradually surfaced.

It turned out that opium had poured into the Forbidden City so early.At first, the people I faced were very simple, just those eunuchs in the palace who had no future at all. After taking it once or twice, these eunuchs fell in love with this thing!

The reason is also very simple: eunuchs, as long-term possessions, were mostly sold to the palace by poor families, and they had to suffer torture from above when they entered the palace.

After decades of tossing, there are only one or two people out of hundreds of people who can ascend to the sky like Liang Jiugong. Most of them can talk like Li Yu and others in front of the master, which is extremely enviable!

When they are old and weak, the court ladies can still become nuns even if they are over the age, and even if they leave the palace, most of them are invited by good people to educate their young masters, and some are cared for for life; eunuchs have nowhere to go, if they can save a few Money is one of the best in the suburbs to buy land, and most of them can only fall into Buddhist monks or beggars on the streets for a living.

After smoking this opium, in the lingering smoke, many young eunuchs said that they seemed to have returned to the past and had different choices, or saw a bright future with hope... When they woke up, they were desperate again The little eunuch fell in love with smoking opium more and more.

In the end, the opium had to be bought with money, and the eunuchs turned their targets to more powerful and rich eunuchs, such as Liang Jiugong.
