I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 232 Interrogation

When Cui Shan heard his junior sister's question, he frowned and replied after a moment's silence, "That's impossible. I have hidden the letter that says the opposite and locked it up.

If someone moves, I will definitely find out. No one can sneak into my study quietly and check and touch the memorial."

Doctor Miao nodded slightly to show her understanding. She knew Cui Shan's character very well. He was always cautious and would not allow any mistakes. However, the current situation made her feel very difficult.

"The servants cannot access this. Does my nephew Cui Liang know about this? Or has he read the memorials written to the contrary?" Zhou Zuoyuanpan's words made Cui Shan fall into deep thought.

Zhou Zuoyuanpan also knew Cui Liang's personality and character, and he suspected that the matter was leaked from him.

Cui Shan's eyes widened, as if he was recalling something. Suddenly, his face changed and he said in a trembling voice, "Liang'er comes to my study the most and he doesn't shy away from suspicion. Although I didn't tell him about this, he is very likely to know that the drug can do the opposite and silently cause people to slowly become weak and die."

Doctor Miao frowned after hearing this. She knew Cui Shan was cautious, but if Nephew Cui Liang really had access to the memorial, something might happen. She thought for a moment, then said, "Brother, there is no time to lose. We must find Nephew Cui Liang as soon as possible and ask him clearly."

Cuishan nodded, he also felt that this was the only way at the moment.

After sending Doctor Miao, Judge Zhou Zuoyuan, and Deputy Court Envoy Zhang away, Cuishan immediately sent someone into the palace to invite Cuiliang back home.

"Liang'er, when you came to my study, did you see or come into contact with anything you shouldn't have seen?" Cui Shan asked directly after Cui Liang returned home.

When Cui Liangxian heard this, his face changed, but soon returned to normal. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Grandfather, I have indeed been to your study often, but I just took a look around and didn't come into contact with anything I shouldn't have seen."

"Are you sure? This matter is of great importance. If you don't tell the truth, your grandfather can't save your life." Cui Shan saw Cui Liang's expression and knew that he was not telling the truth. He spoke in a stern tone and stared at Cui Liang, as if he wanted to dig out all the secrets deep in his heart.

Cui Liang, the nephew, was frightened by Cui Shan's gaze. He knew that if he didn't tell the truth this time, he might be in big trouble. He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and said, "Grandfather, I did see something, but I was just curious, and didn't mean anything else."

"What did you see?" Cuishan asked.

Nephew Cui Liang hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I saw a black box that was locked. I opened it out of curiosity and saw a note inside that said some herbs would cause unexpected side effects if used together, and long-term use would kill people without warning.

Grandfather, did you research all this?"

"After you read this, have you told anyone else about it? Tell the truth." Cui Sheng looked at his grandson sternly and asked.

I never expected that no matter how careful you are, you can still guard against a thief in your own home.

“Seven or eight years ago, when I went to the clinic to look for you, I happened to meet a woman who came to ask for medicine.

I don't know what happened, but I told everyone about it." Cui Liang saw that he seemed to have gotten into trouble. His forehead was covered with cold sweat. Looking at his grandfather's expression, it seemed that he was in a lot of trouble. Cui Liang was so scared that his face turned pale.

When Cui Sheng heard this, his face instantly turned pale. He widened his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Cui Liang. "You...you are so confused!"

"This matter is of great importance. How could you tell others so lightly? Now that it has been discovered by someone with ulterior motives, our Cui family will be doomed to failure." Cui Shan slapped Cui Liang in the face, looking extremely angry.

Cui Liang was stunned by the slap and knelt on the ground. He was regretting his decision. He lowered his head and did not dare to look Cui Shan in the eye. "Grandfather, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

Cui Shan took a deep breath and tried to calm down his anger. He knew that blaming Cui Liang would be useless at this moment, and the key was to find a way to solve this problem.

"Forget it, things have come to this point, and it's useless for us to blame you. If it really comes to the point where it is a last resort, your life will end here." Cui Shan said in a deep voice.

"No! Grandfather, what do you mean?" When Cui Liang heard this, he looked up at his grandfather with a look of shock and disbelief.

"Others used the method you told them and almost killed a noble in the palace. It's your own fault!" Cui Shan said this, flicked his sleeves and left the study.

Cui Liang in the room stood there in a daze, his face as pale as paper, the fear and despair in his heart surging like a tide.

On the second day, the Queen Mother invited Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan to go to Kunning Palace to treat her and recuperate.

This time when they went to Kunning Palace to see a doctor, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan brought their newly accepted apprentice with them.

However, when they entered Kunning Palace, Cuishan and Xu Qingyi came towards them, going in and out. It seemed that the Queen Mother had already summoned Cuishan before.

This reminded Xu Qingyi of yesterday's inspection of seaweed and licorice in Kunning Palace. Long-term consumption of both substances could lead to chronic death. This time, Cuishan appeared in Kunning Palace early in the morning, which made Xu Qingyi think more.

Xu Qingyi exchanged a subtle glance with Bai Yan, bowed to Cui Shan, then lowered his head and led his disciples into Kunning Palace.

In Kunning Palace, the Queen was leaning on the couch, her face pale, but her eyes were shining with sharp light. When she saw Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan coming in, she smiled, nodded slightly, and motioned them to come forward.

After Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan bowed respectfully, they began to treat the Queen.

"How is my health?" After Xu Qingyi stopped checking the Queen's pulse, the Queen looked at Xu Qingyi and asked casually.

"If you stop taking medicines that cause chronic weakness, and take some medicine to regulate your body, and assist with acupuncture and medicated diet, the Queen's health will be restored in a year, at least two to three years." Xu Qingyi said softly.

“From now on, I will trouble Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai to take care of my health.

In the future, please ask Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai to check my bedroom every five days to prevent anything that shouldn't be there from appearing in it." Although the Queen's voice was soft, the firmness and majesty in her words made people dare not ignore it.

"Yes, your majesty." Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan responded in unison.

From then on, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan would come to the Queen's bedroom every five days to take the Queen's pulse and regulate her body.

The Queen also actively cooperated with their treatment, taking medicine on time every day, having acupuncture on time, and insisting on doing various rehabilitation exercises.

In this way, under the careful care of Xu Qingyi and Doctor Bai, the Queen's health gradually improved. Her complexion became more and more rosy, and her spirits became better and better.

These are all things for later.
