General Qin

In the prime location of Xianyang City, outside the vast Marquis Marquis Mansion.

It was not like many people thought that there would be a lot of traffic, and many important people from Xianyang came to visit Marquis Wugong.

You must know that Marquis Wugong took the medicine given by the emperor, so he couldn't afford to fall ill.

Just listening to this matter makes people feel abnormal.

Not to mention all kinds of gossip and gossip in Xianyang City, rumors are spreading everywhere.

It is said that the Lieutenant Army has arrested more than a dozen people who spread rumors indiscriminately in the city, and now their heads have been hung up for public display.

Most of the ministers in the court are human beings. Before the situation is clarified, who would dare to get involved.

Those who can care about Wu Gonghou at this time and come here to visit are probably his few real cronies.

"Let's go in, we want to see the prince!"

Standing at the door, Hei Hou yelled at the butler of the Hou Mansion who was blocking the door.

Afterwards, Shejian, Lu Wan, Zhonglimei, Li Shiqi, and Li Shang who stayed in Xianyang City all came.

As for Xiao He, Fan Kui, and Cao Can, they returned to Sishui County first after being entrusted to wait for future appointments, but they were not here.

Heiyu, Shejian and others looked excited, hoping to visit Zhao Tuo in the mansion.

The person standing in front of the door was named Meng Zhong, who was married to the eldest princess. Because of his seriousness and ability, he was appointed as the steward of the Hou's residence.

Now facing all the excited high-ranking people who wanted to enter the mansion, Meng Zhong couldn't help but nervously said: "Everyone, don't embarrass the villains. The princes have already ordered that we don't see any guests today, so please go back first."

"Impossible, Junhou loves us the most, it is impossible for him not to see us, let me see Junhou."

Black Butt hissed, his eyes filled with tears.

Zhong Limei and Lu Wan also followed suit.

Li Shiqi's complexion changed, he stretched out his hand to stop everyone, and said to Meng Zhong: "Are you sober?"

Meng Zhong knew that the people in front of him were all trusted aides of Marquis Wu Gong, so he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Go back to Li Zuogeng, the lord is just sick and unable to move, the rest is fine. I have already informed the lord about your arrival." After the notification, he said that everyone should go back first, and when he recovers in the future, he invited everyone to come and talk."

Li Shiqi couldn't help sighing slightly when he thought of the scene where he talked with Zhao Tuo yesterday, and the other party was still alive and talking with him about alchemists.

He stopped the shouting black buttocks and said: "Since Junhou said so, we don't want to disturb Junhou here, let's go back first."

Hei Hip gritted his teeth and said: "Junhou is sick, I don't know what it looks like, it hurts my heart, if I can't see Junhou with my own eyes, how can I go back."

"Enough, Junhou ordered, you are not allowed to disobey."

It was Shejian who spoke, and he stared at the black buttocks with red eyes, his hands in his sleeves trembling slightly.

The black buttock was stared at by Shejian, lowered his head and said with tears in his eyes, "Shejian, your lord..."

There was a sound in the distance.

Everyone looked back with astonishment.

It was the emperor's chariot.

...

"Your Majesty, Marquis of Martial Arts has arrived."

Zhao Gao stopped the carriage skilfully, and respectfully responded to Emperor Shi Huang who was in the carriage.

A faint "um" sound came from the car.

The First Emperor lifted the curtain of the car and stepped out of the car.

"The minister waits to see His Majesty."

Li Shiqi and others saw it from a distance, and knelt down and bowed together.

The First Emperor glanced at them, and seeing that they were all members of the "Zhao Party", he nodded in response, waved them off, and then strode towards the Hou's mansion.

Watching the emperor walking towards the Hou Mansion, Hei hip gritted his teeth and looked at Shejian again.

Shejian was expressionless.

Zhong Limei and Lu Wan clenched their fists and stared at the emperor's back.

Li Shiqi whispered: "The Junhou is the emperor's son-in-law and the pillar of the country. He is deeply loved by the emperor. Now the emperor comes to visit the Junhou in person. I think the person following him is the imperial doctor Xia Wuqi. I came here specially to heal the prince. You must not believe in rumors."

No one said anything.

...

The magnificent and spacious mansion of Marquis Wugong was in chaos because of the arrival of the emperor.

Facing the first emperor who strode into the mansion, many maids and servants knelt down on both sides in panic, trembling.

The first emperor ignored them, but let the steward of Hou's mansion lead the way, and took Xia Wuqie and others to stride into the house.

"I have seen the father."

A graceful and graceful figure came out of the room and bowed to Shi Huangdi.

The first emperor paused, and saw that the person in front of him was his daughter Ying Yinman.

Compared with the lively young girl in the palace, Ying Yinman is now married as a woman, and as a mother, she already has a graceful posture that belongs to a woman.

It's just that her complexion is a little pale today, and there seems to be faint tears on her face.

This made Shi Huangdi's heart suddenly tense.

He said in a deep voice, "How is Zhao Tuo?"

Ying Yinman stared at the emperor, bit her lips and said, "After my beloved took the medicine yesterday, he felt unbearable abdominal pain in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, having trouble sleeping, and went to the toilet more than ten times. Now he can only lie on the bed, unable to visit the emperor for the time being."

The faces of Emperor Shi Huang and everyone behind him changed drastically.

Abdominal pain is unbearable.

Go to the toilet more than ten times.

Lying on the bed, unable to move.

The first emperor thought of the name of a disease, looked at Xia Wuqi behind him, and asked, "Is it pì?"

Intestinal dysentery is a saying in the "Neijing", and it is also called "dysentery" in later generations.

In this age when medicine is still immature, this disease can really kill people, and the mortality rate is not low.

Facing the name spoken by the emperor, Xia Wuqiu felt his forehead sweat even though he was an imperial physician, and shook his head, "You have to read it first."

Shi Huang nodded, but his face was already dark.

He motioned to Ying Yinman to lead the way, and followed behind towards the house.

The four words Ying Yinman said just now echoed in Shi Huang's ears.

After taking the medicine.

Was Zhao Tuo's illness really caused by taking the medicine given by me?

Then why is it okay if I eat it?

Thinking of the vicious rumors spread by Yao Jia in the palace, Shi Huang's anger rose again.

He had no intention of harming Zhao Tuo at all.

The current Emperor Shihuang is young and powerful, and has the ambition to suppress the world. No matter how high Zhao Tuo's achievements are, he has never been afraid.

Not to mention, he has seen all the things Zhao Tuo has done for Daqin in the past eight years.

It was too late for him to appreciate it, so how could he harm it.

When the first emperor walked into the house and saw Zhao Tuo lying pale on the bed, his heart became more heavy and uncomfortable.

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth: "I... Zhao Tuo... I have seen Your Majesty, please forgive me... I can't..."

"No need to salute, no need to say much."

The First Emperor spoke quickly, and when he heard Zhao Tuo's trembling voice and the sweat that broke out on his head as soon as he spoke, he felt very uncomfortable.

"I... thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Tuo spoke weakly, and Ying Yinman hurried forward, took out a silk cloth, and carefully wiped the sweat from Zhao Tuo's forehead.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Shihuang was in a panic.

He thought of Zhao Tuo's previous appearance.

Above the main hall, there was a young man who raised his head and chest and angrily scolded the assassin.

On the swearing-in platform, General Daqin was full of heroism.

Riding the horse and raising the whip, destroying the six kingdoms in the east and conquering Hu Yi in the north, what a heroic spirit, but now it has become so weak.

The First Emperor took a deep breath and said, "Zhao Qing rests first, and I will show you. He is the best doctor in Xianyang."

Xia Wuqie took the order to step forward, saluted Zhao Tuo first, and said, "I have seen you, Lord."

"It's time to work."

Zhao Tuo smiled weakly, and a flash of vigilance flashed in his heart.

Xia Wuqi.

This is the most famous doctor in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Although Xia Wu became famous not because of his medical skills, but because of his "precise medicine sac throwing technique", he won Qin Wangzheng's "Love me without love" and two hundred yi gold rewards.

But Xia Wuqiu, as a doctor, was able to appear at the court meeting where King Qin met Jing Ke, the envoy of Yan, which in itself shows that his medical skills are extraordinary, otherwise how could he go to court with a medicine bag.

Therefore, when Xia Wuqie looked at Zhao Tuo's face first, and then asked him to stick out his tongue to look at it, Zhao Tuo's forehead was constantly sweating.

"Please tell me about the symptoms, Junhou."

Sitting beside the couch, Xia Wuqi stretched out a hand to rest on Zhao Tuo's wrist, asking for pulse while checking.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath, gathered some strength, and said in one breath: "Last night, I suddenly had a stomachache. I felt something rolling and tingling in my stomach...in the intestines, and I went to the...toilet, about eleven or two times. The feces were colored, and then gradually turned into pus..."

Zhao Tuo spoke intermittently.

Xia Wuju nodded with a serious face.

See, hear and ask, among which the patient's description of symptoms is very important and critical.

After all, there are some things that doctors cannot see.

Listen to Zhao Tuo's narration.

The Emperor Shihuang next to him was already sweating on his forehead.

If I remember correctly, sometimes after he took the magic medicine offered by the alchemist, his feces really took on a different color.

After a while, Zhao Tuo finished speaking, and Xia Wuqie also cut his pulse.

He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's body is indeed in a state of great weakness. The onset of the disease is so rapid. I'm afraid that an external evil may enter the body. I don't know what food the Marquis ate last night."

Zhao Tuo sighed: "I ate some pasta yesterday, as well as gourds, sunflowers, and some citrus...oranges and fruits from the south.

Ying Yinman next to her frowned slightly.

If she remembers correctly, Zhao Tuo has never eaten oranges since he got married, but yesterday he suddenly asked someone to fetch some oranges from Chudi, and there were quite a lot of them. Now thinking about it, it is a bit strange.

However, Ying Yinman also ate those oranges from Chudi, and there was no difference. She thought for a while, and then said: "I also ate the food that Junhou ate yesterday, so it should be fine."

Xia Wuqie nodded.

Zhao Tuo gave a wry smile, lowered his head and said, "Later, he took that medicine again."

Shi Huang's body trembled.

Zhao Tuo's complexion was pale, his body was weak, he spoke intermittently, sweated every time he opened his mouth, and even went to the toilet more than ten times a night.

All these things already showed that there was something wrong with what he ate.

Xia Wuqi also uttered "the words of great emptiness".

The First Emperor suddenly turned his head and looked at the Zhonglang General Meng Yi who was following behind him.

"Go and bring all the alchemists who refine medicine to me, not one less! And bring the medicine they refined together, Meng Yi, you go yourself!"

"only!"

Meng Yi immediately bowed his hands and stepped back.

Looking at Meng Yi's leaving back, Shi Huang's eyes were burning with flames.

Before he left the palace, he had ordered the alchemists to be detained to prevent them from running away, and he was going to be interrogated by Tingwei Mansion.

But now, Emperor Shihuang felt that it was not enough, and the alchemists had to be escorted over immediately.

He couldn't wait for a moment.

If there is a problem with the medicine.

That would cause heads to roll and blood to flow like rivers.
