Chapter 1456 Liu Wei Enters the Palace (2) Natural Mercury Sulfide Is Cinnabar

Yun Xi has a boring temperament. He is not as resourceful as his father, nor as versatile as his mother. So when he saw Liu Wei getting on the carriage entering the palace, he held it in for a long time and could not hold back a word to stop him.

It stands to reason that Liu Wei is a guest. Even if the palace really invites someone, Yun Mansion, as the host, should accompany him throughout the whole process. However, the palace guest came suddenly, and Liu Wei readily agreed. The two carriages just happened to get off, and Yun Mansion Xi, who is not good at words, just didn't say a word.

Yun Xi himself felt that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he was still confused until he saw Yun Xiang.

Yun Xiang originally came to Liu Wei to go shopping, but when he came to the guest room, he only saw his third brother holding Chou Chou blankly and standing there without saying a word. Out of curiosity, he inquired and found out the inside story. Finally, she couldn't laugh or cry.

"So you just let her go?"

Yun Xi thought seriously for a while and then asked, "No?"

Yun Xiang sighed: "I'll go to the hospital to find the master."

Saying that, he was about to leave.

Yun Xiang saw Chou Chou huddled in Yun Xi's arms, neither crying nor fussing, obediently playing with the straps of her clothes. She went over to take the child and said, "I'll take care of Xiao Ye. How can you, a man, take care of a child?"

Yun Xiang ran anxiously to find an adult to make the decision, while Liu Wei successfully entered the palace after an hour of bumpy carriage rides.

The imperial palace of the Xianyan Kingdom is different from that of the Qingyun Kingdom. The capital of the Qingyun Kingdom is located in the north, but the capital of the Xianyan Kingdom is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with a spring-like climate all year round.

Liu Wei was not afraid of strangers either. When he entered the Qinghuang Palace, the eunuch went in to ask for instructions, and Liu Wei stood in front of the palace.

After a while, a group of people came out of the palace, but they were not the eunuchs from before, but a middle-aged woman. The woman was luxurious and elegant, with charming manners, but her cool eyebrows showed how difficult she was to get along with.

The other party first looked Liu Wei up and down, then frowned slightly and asked in a loud voice: "Is this girl Yun Xi's friend?"

Liu Wei paused for a moment and looked down at her attire. She was dressed in men's clothing, but the other party could tell at a glance that she was a woman.

Liu Wei replied heartily: "I and Yun Xi are indeed old."

The woman pursed her lips slightly, as if the person she saw in front of her was too different from what she had imagined in her mind, and her expression was visibly depressed, but she didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Your Majesty is inside, come in."

Liu Wei felt the disappointment in the other party's tone. On the second day after he came to Beijing, the other party hurriedly invited him here early in the morning. He must have great expectations for the "miraculous doctor friend" mentioned in Yun Xi's letter. But when he saw her, he was not only young, but also She is still a woman. It is said that she can’t do things well if she has no hair on her lips. People’s hearts instinctively feel that women are not as good as women.

It is understandable that the man looks disappointed when comparing the two.

Liu Wei was not angry either.

Back then, in Qujiang Mansion, there were many villagers who did not trust her medical skills because she was too young. If she cared about everyone, it would be endless. Liu Wei was a woman, and the curtains originally prepared in the palace were no longer needed. Liu Wei went in and saw the palace maids picking off the curtains in an orderly manner. On the other side of the curtains, there was a person who had a relationship with Yun Xiang. A very similar middle-aged woman in a red robe was sitting there. She looked at her coming in and said something to her.

She smiles.

Liu Wei thought to himself that after a country, he was so approachable.

Liu Wei stepped forward, leaned over and saluted.

The queen raised her hand and said in a gentle tone: "I haven't heard before that the friend Xi'er brought back is a girl. Come on, come on over and let me have a look."

Liu Wei felt that the other party was really too enthusiastic and it was difficult to refuse, so he took a few steps forward.

But unexpectedly, as if she thought she was walking too slowly, the queen stood up directly, came over in person, held Liu Wei's hand, and looked her up and down.

Liu Wei was a little familiar with this kind of look. She had encountered this kind of look at least seven or eight times since she arrived at Yun Mansion yesterday.

Sure enough, she heard the queen say with satisfaction: "She looks a little older than Xi'er, but she is older, sensible, and knows how to care for others. Does the girl have other brothers and sisters in her family? Is Gao Tang here?" ? How did you meet our Yunxi?"

Liu Wei's face froze, and he forcefully pulled his hand out of the queen's hand, and said with a sullen face: "Your Majesty, I have misunderstood. I am married, and I have a son and a daughter at home. We are very happy."

The Queen was stunned for a moment, her expression a little embarrassed, she looked at the Prime Minister beside her, and asked softly: "No?"

Yunshi lowered her voice and said, "I only said she was a woman, nothing else."

The queen said to Liu Wei, "I am the one who is being rude. Don't worry about it."

What Liu Wei could say was that he didn't care.

Mrs. Yun, the prime minister's wife, hurriedly supported the queen and sent her back to the soft couch. Then she turned to Liu Wei and said, "I must have heard Yun Xi mention your empress' condition. I wonder if you have any ideas?"

Liu Wei choked for a moment, and was too embarrassed to say that Yun Xi didn't mention anything. He had only just found out about it, so he could only say, "How about checking for a pulse first?"

Yunshi nodded and gave up her position.

Liu Wei went over.

When Liu Wei checked the queen's pulse, the queen was not idle. She asked her in a good mood: "This time, there is only one girl who came back with Yun Xi."

Liu Wei concentrated on feeling his pulse and replied: "There is another person named Li."

The queen's eyes lit up: "But she hasn't left the cabinet yet?"

Liu Wei sighed: "Madam, please be calm. Don't be upset, as it will affect the pulse results."

Madam Xiang stood by and said, "My Lady, please stop thinking so wildly."

The queen responded, but still kept asking Liu Wei: "How did Miss Li and my Yun Xi know each other? Does she know?"

Liu Wei frowned: "Miss Li is Yun Xi's patient. She has a soul-deficient syndrome and has a mind like a three-year-old child. Yun Xi has been responsible for her treatment."

The smile on the queen's face suddenly solidified: "Is your mind like a three-year-old child?"

Liu Weizhi said: "According to my opinion, Yun Xi has no nostalgia for Miss Li."

The smile on the queen's face disappeared completely, but then she asked again: "Is it just the two of you? Are there no other women?"

Liu Wei said firmly: "No."

The queen was completely lost, with a slumped face and a depressed look.

Liu Wei reminded her again: "My queen, please be calm and don't let your mood get upset."

The Prime Minister said angrily: "My Lady, don't think about it anymore. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You are already in poor health, so why are you worrying about it?"

The queen couldn't bring herself to cheer up anymore, so she simply stopped moving and stopped asking.

After a moment, Liu Wei retracted his hand, his expression slightly solemn.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xiang's heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked: "How are you doing?" Liu Wei raised her head and asked the Queen: "Since the onset of the illness, have you often experienced dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, and body aches? Chills, fever, and in severe cases, hematemesis, inability to cough, inability to urinate, blood in the urine, oral mucosal ulcers, and often neurasthenia, half

Have nightmares at night and have exfoliative dermatitis on your scalp? "

The queen wasn't paying much attention, but when she heard what the other party said word by word, especially at the end, she couldn't help but feel frightened, and at the same time unconsciously touched her head, her face turned pale.

The lady on the side said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, these are the symptoms. Girl, do you really know about them? What kind of disease is this? Or is it evil?"

Liu Wei's face darkened, and his eyes glanced around.

Madam Xiang was such a shrewd person. She immediately said to the people around her: "Everyone, get out. No one is allowed in without being summoned!"

The serving maid and eunuch hurriedly accepted the promise and left. By the time there were only three people left in the palace: the queen, the prime minister's wife, and Liu Wei.

Liu Wei looked at Qinghuang Palace up and down, left and right.

Mrs. Xiang followed Liu Wei and asked anxiously: "What kind of disease is this? Please tell me, girl!"

Liu Wei looked back with a bad expression: "Mercury poisoning is a chronic poison among heavy metals. The poisoning lasts for a long time and has evolved into kidney failure. If not treated in time, life will be in danger within three years. "

"Mercury?" This strange word is not understood by the prime minister.

Liu Wei changed her words and said, "It's mercury, mercury poison."

Madam Xiang was stunned and turned to look at the Queen in panic.

The queen also became nervous, stood up and asked, "You mean, someone poisoned my food?"

Liu Wei shook his head: "If it were taken orally, you would have died long ago. Since it is chronic, it is naturally not taken orally."

The queen didn't understand: "Then..."

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Liu Wei walked to the main hall of Qinghuang Palace, raised his head and pointed at the Feng Yin throne above, staring at the nine-curved phoenix body: "You must use this seat often."

The queen's expression changed: "You mean, the poison was smeared on the seat?"

"No." Liu Wei analyzed: "This seat is made of mercury. You can see that there is slight peeling at the head and tail of the phoenix. The peeling purple-brown metal is the result of the dissolution of mercury. Evolved through weathering.”

Mrs. Xiang immediately said: "This Phoenix Yin throne was made by Sigongfang."

The queen pondered, lowered her eyes, and clenched her hands slightly: "Sigongfang is the supervisor of this palace, and he actually caused trouble under my nose..."

Liu Wei walked forward again and walked up to the queen. Under the queen's puzzled gaze, she stretched out her hand and touched the queen's earlobe: "Such a pair of exquisite earrings, exquisite workmanship, elegant style, and full of poison."

The Queen's expression immediately changed. The Prime Minister hurriedly stepped forward and quickly took off the Queen's earrings with her hands and feet. Her heart was beating loudly: "This is unreasonable. This is really unreasonable!"

Liu Wei walked around the Qinghuang Palace, some of which could be seen at a glance, and some of which were surveyed with a silver needle. In short, he finally found more than twenty items covered with mercury toxins.

Even the rouge used by the Queen contained a large amount of mercury sulfide. In fact, natural mercury sulfide is cinnabar, and cosmetics contain poisons, which has existed in ancient and modern times. However, such a fatal and chronic toxin is not within the normal scope.
