Chapter 320: Poison? Or not?
The conversation ended unpleasantly, and Xiao Zhengdu did not get what he wanted from Li Huaiqing's misconduct.
He wasn't sure what this person was thinking. Could he really watch Lou Xiao and Xiao Zhengze be together?
if--
That means he intends to enter the harem. After all, the only women in the capital that he likes are Your Majesty and Lou Xiao.
"It looks like your majesty's harem is going to be lively."
Xiao Zhengdu huddled in his house in a somewhat dejected state, looking in the direction of the imperial palace with an uneasy look on his face.
Lou Xiao hasn't come to see him yet. Is she going to draw a line with him now?
In the end, she, His Majesty, and Xiao Zhengze loved each other so much that no one noticed his sadness.
In order to temporarily forget about what was happening, Xiao Zhengdu gathered his thoughts and took the initiative to find His Majesty to ask for a lot of things to do.
I go out early and come back late all day, and I can't even eat.
Everyone in the capital knows that King Youshan has been working extra hard recently. He can be seen everywhere, guarding like a demon god, and if you don't pay attention, you will be scolded by him.
When there are enough things to do every day, there is no time to pay attention to the affairs of the palace.
So he didn't know that Xiao Zhengze's condition had worsened again.
Lou Xiao accompanied Xiao Zhengze all day long, watching him drink countless medicines.
With her around, Xiao Zhengze ate a little more, but that didn't mean he was getting better.
He vomited out all the food he had eaten soon after.
"Xiaoxiao, don't look..." Xiao Zhengze felt dizzy and had tinnitus. After being helped by Lou Xiao to vomit out all the food in his stomach, he begged her weakly.
She patted him on the back, hoping he would feel better.
"What's there to be ashamed of? Everyone has been sick before." Lou Xiao felt increasingly heavy-hearted and asked the imperial physician to come over and take a look.
"Is there anything wrong with the food? Have you checked everything carefully?"
It's impossible for his health to suddenly deteriorate. Is it really because of her?
The imperial physician looked embarrassed, "Sir, you eat the same food as His Highness, you are fine..."
This means there is nothing wrong with the food delivered.
"Then why didn't it get better after taking so many medicines? Or even got worse?"
Lou Xiao knew that she was losing her temper, but she had no place to vent her anger. Xiao Zhengze looked increasingly haggard.
It seemed as if Anilan's words were about to come true, and he couldn't get through this level after all.
"He's never been this serious in all these years. No, this is not normal."
Apart from the poison caused by the assassination, there must be other reasons, but they have not been found yet.
Lou Xiao became more and more certain that there was some undiscovered reason that caused Xiao Zhengze to collapse so quickly.
She went to the Imperial Hospital again to look up pulse records, to find out when exactly Xiao Zhengze started to show symptoms.
There was a whole shelf full of bound books, and Lou Xiao flipped through them page by page.
In the past, Xiao Zhengze only had minor ailments. Because of his weak constitution, he fell ill more frequently than the average person.
Since the day of the assassination, Xiao Zhengze began to experience occasional fainting spells.
Anilan said that this was caused by a trace amount of poison, and that it would heal quickly by attacking the poison according to her method.
If you take your time to take care of it, it's okay to take a little longer.
When did you start to eat less, and even vomit and suffer from insomnia?
Lou Xiao kept flipping through the pages until she found the time when Xiao Zhengze vomited for the first time.
That was the day after she and Xiao Zhengdu finished their business at Hengjian Villa in Yunsu City.
She remembered that Xiao Zhengdu also said that Xiao Zhengze knew that he was ordered by His Majesty to come to Yunsu City to find her.
Xiao Zhengze wouldn't be angry about this.
Nothing happened between her and Xiao Zhengdu at that time. Although they were close, nothing significant happened.
So why did Xiao Zhengze start to show symptoms?
Lou Xiao pulled Anilan over and thought about it but couldn't find a solution, so he had to ask her.
Anilan shrugged and spread his hands, "How would I know about the palace? There are so many reasons for a sudden deterioration of health.
Either it was caused by excessive poisons for a long time, or it was a weak shell that broke at the slightest touch. "
Xiao Zhengze is obviously the latter, but maybe he is both?
Lou Xiao continued to look through the days that followed, and indeed Xiao Zhengze's health had deteriorated without him noticing.
The imperial physician could not fail to see the problem, and the amount of tonic medicine he added increased day by day, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
Xiao Zhengze's health is still deteriorating day by day.
The imperial doctors were helpless.
"Could it be poison?"
Lou Xiao muttered to herself and looked at Anilan for help.
And Anilan said seriously, which was rare, "I have also checked his diet, and it is indeed clean. You have been eating with him these days, and you will be fine."
"If it's not food, what about clothes? Things to use? Can things that we touch everyday be contaminated with poison?"
Lou Xiao sincerely asks,
Anilan thought for a moment and replied, "If the poisoning is so severe through contact, it would be better to kill people by eating it directly, which is quick and easy.
Moreover, he is a member of the royal family. If he can come into contact with something, the servants can also come into contact with it. Do the servants have similar symptoms?"
After discussing it, the two of them felt that this was a direction, so they put down the pulse case and went to look for Xiao Zhengze's personal attendant.
Asked if there were any other servants in his palace who were sick.
The servants who were temporarily gathered by the Duke of Zhenguo were feeling anxious, wondering if he would get angry for not serving them well enough.
As a result, when Lou Xiao asked the question, the servants looked at each other in confusion.
Who has the same symptoms as your Highness?
I haven't heard of it.
Only an older servant was silent and hesitant in deep thought.
Lou Xiao saw it with sharp eyes and called him out, "Did you find anything?"
When the servant heard that someone called him out, he knelt down and bowed, then introduced himself.
"I am in charge of the storehouse for His Highness in the palace. One of my servants seemed to be unwell, but I didn't notice anything wrong.
Because her family was worried and she was old, she was given some money and released from the palace."
Lou Xiao and Anilan looked at each other, "Do you know what the discomfort is?"
"I don't know the details either. I only know that the illness is serious. I'm afraid of causing trouble in the palace, so I dare not tell anyone."
"Find him out." Lou Xiao made a decision. "There must be a book that records where his home is. Ask someone to find him for me."
The servant knelt on the ground in fear, "My lord, my lord, he is just a small cleaning servant, he has not even seen the prince a few times, he has nothing to do with it! My lord!"
If you are found after leaving the palace, it means you will never have peace.
Lou Xiao asked someone to help the servant up. "It's okay. We're not trying to kill him. We just want to find out when it all started so we can find some solutions for your highness's condition."
But since he had only had a few contacts with Xiao Zhengze, how could he have similar symptoms?
In this case, you have to ask carefully.
However, there might be something wrong with Xiao Zhengze's palace. Lou Xiao thought about the possibility of asking Xiao Zhengze to move out of the palace.
In the end, I still have to go to His Majesty first.
