Li Chengqian asked, "Where do we start?" Cheng Hong thought for a while: "If you always have contact with food, clothing, housing and transportation, you have to go to the imperial dining room to check the food, clothes are nothing more than incense, but the incense is almost the same, it is expected that there should be nothing strange here!"

Cheng Hong raised his head at this time and asked: "Queen Mother, do you have any old diseases or stubborn diseases, please tell the Queen Mother, maybe you can find some clues!" The queen said, "It's nothing, it's just that the qi is sick and comes and goes!" Cheng Hong turned around and asked, "What is Qi Disease?"

The queen replied: "It is a cough caused by the sudden cold in winter, and the cold air enters the lungs, and the phlegm gushes every time it occurs, it will take nearly a month to cough!" Cheng Hong listened: This~ seems to be tracheitis, right? Cheng Hong asked: "Does the queen mother cough get worse every morning?"

The queen nodded! Cheng Hong said: "Then let's check from the place where the queen mother often goes!" Walking into the dormitory, there is a smell of orchids, it seems that the queen also has a soft spot for orchids, there is a table in the room, there are several brocade piers, and two Taishi chairs. On the table is pen, ink, paper, inkstone, next to a vase, facing the window, there is a shelf for putting things, there are four pots of flowers on it, Cheng Hong looked at it, pointed to the flower pot and asked: "Queen Mother, who gave you these four pots of flowers?"

Empress Changsun said: "Two years ago, a person who came into the auspicious offering, the palace looked good-looking and raised it, Hong'er didn't know, this thing doesn't look like garlic, but it is indeed a flowering thing, called calendula!"

Cheng Hong nodded: "Yes!" That's it, this thing is also called daffodil, although the flower root is beautiful, it is indeed poisonous, and it is highly toxic, although the pollen is non-toxic, it can induce allergies, especially the queen mother's qi disease, if this pollen is inhaled by the queen mother, eighty percent may cause qi disease attacks! ”

As soon as the three princes heard this, they hurriedly moved the flower pots to the door and asked the palace maid at the door to throw these pots as far as they wanted.

Cheng Hong found the bedroom, looked at the pillow and patted it, it was quite soft, and he lifted it very lightly so he asked, "Queen Mother, what is in it?" The queen took a look: "This is the flying velvet pillow of Jiangnan tribute!" I heard that it was made by collecting the down feathers of a hundred birds! ”

Cheng Hong nodded: "Yes, if the daffodils are an accident, this pillow is a bit too much of a coincidence, and the down pillow is the most likely to induce coughing!" It seems that they did it, and they did it unconsciously! ”

"Boom!" The door opened, and Li Er stood at the door with a black face: "What's the matter?" As soon as I went down to the court, I listened to the palace maids and eunuchs talking about the chickens and dogs tossing in the palace? A prince, two princes, and a colt, what are you doing? ”

Cheng Hong saluted the four of them, Cheng Hong told the matter again, and also told the queen what he found here, Li Er's black face kicked Cheng Hong: "Bold!" Who would dare to do this? Cheng Hong, what else have you discovered? Cheng Hong said: "I only checked two items, living and traveling, and the clothes are estimated to be nothing to check, just see if there are any omissions in the queen mother's food, and it is estimated that nothing can be found, unless there is something that the queen mother eats alone, and others don't eat!"

Li Er turned around twice, as if there was none! At this time, the queen came over and took Li Er's hand: "Shengshang, it seems that there really is!" As he spoke, he took out a box from the bedside, and inside it were two small golden balls the size of marbles. Cheng Hong picked up two pills and knocked them on each other, smelled them, and a pungent smell of medicine mixed with a strange smell.

Cheng Hong raised his eyes and looked at Li Er and his wife: "Father, is this for people to eat?" Li Er raised his eyebrows: ", this is the golden pill refined by Ziyang Zhenren, and it is hard to find!"

Cheng Hong shook his head: "Is it hard to find money? What are you asking for? , don't you die fast enough? , This thing is high in lead and mercury, it's nothing if it's less, and if you eat too much, you'll die! Li Er was furious: "How is it possible? It's longevity! Cheng Hong said: "Longevity? Hehe, since Qin Shi Huang began to ask for immortals, how many immortals are there? There are a lot of people who eat Jindan and die of eating! If the father doesn't believe it, find chickens, geese, sheep, and the like to crush these pills and pour them down to see if they die or soar, people are just a little more resistant than chickens and geese, just like if a sheep is stabbed and will die, the cow may be able to survive, this pill is poured into the chicken, and the goose will soon see the result! ”

Li Er glared at Cheng Hong: "When you wait, it's not what you guessed, I have to beat you with a hundred military sticks!" Then he shouted outside: "Come on, go grab some chickens, geese and sheep!"

After thinking about it, "Go to Ziyang Zhenren and get some gold pills again!" After speaking, he snorted and walked out of the door, and Cheng Hong followed a few times.

After a while, the chickens, geese and sheep outside the hall were already in place, three chickens, two geese and a sheep, several eunuchs carried chickens and geese, and led the sheep to the door.

Cheng Hong got Li Er's signal and began to start, asked the eunuch to bring a basin of warm water and a bamboo tube of the right size, and then crushed the pill, poured it down one by one with the bamboo tube, and smoothed it with warm water to let the pill melt as soon as possible, and then signaled the eunuch to let go of the chicken and goose, bolted the sheep to the plum tree next to it, and the chicken "cooed" and ran away from people, and the goose was not afraid of "it should be!" I don't know who to do!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the emperor called: "Someone is coming! Cheng Hong ...... "Li Er didn't finish speaking, suddenly the chicken over there screamed, jumping around, fluttering, after a while, the goose also began to flutter, everyone was dumbfounded, after a while, the kung fu chicken and goose died one after another, the mouth, nose and eyes were bleeding, and the sheep here also began to scream, struggling with the rope, the more they struggled, the more weak they became, and finally they lay on the ground and kicked their legs straight, convulsed for a while, foamed at the mouth and spit out blood, and there was blood flowing out of the eyes and nose, and it seemed that they couldn't live.

At this time, the Jindan box in the hand of Empress Changsun fell to the ground with a "click", and her frightened face turned white, and what she was eating every day was actually poison!

Li Er's face turned blue and stood up: "Quick!" Xuan Taiyi! ”

After a while, the imperial doctor trotted all the way, Li Er asked the four of them to wait outside, the imperial doctor entered the house with the emperor and the queen, and the prince and the king of Wei and Shu came over: "Cheng Hong, how is this thing poisonous?"

Cheng Hong glanced at them: "Lead and mercury are very toxic things, those crazy Taoist priests stuff everything into the stove, and they dare to eat it when they practice, and they are called Jin Dan if they can't die, but fortunately, the queen mother eats it whole, and the layer of noodles is not easy to dissolve in water, not easy to digest, if it is crushed......"

Cheng Hong fought a cold war, and the consequences were unimaginable! The prince over there hurriedly said, "Don't say it!" Scared to death! Cheng Hong said again: "There is also the lead powder for makeup, that thing looks good, it hurts the skin the most, have you ever smeared lead powder when you come back?" Li Tai shook his head......

At this time, Li Er's yelling came from the house: "Not poisoned? How can it be? A bunch of quacks! Empress Changsun persuaded softly inside, and the door opened, and a group of eunuchs took the dead chickens, geese and sheep inside......

Li Er yelled: "Look, how did they die?"

After a while, Li Er shouted: "Cheng Hong, you monkey spirit, come in!" After Cheng Hong came in, he saw Li Er sitting there angrily, the imperial doctor knelt down, the eunuch over there knelt down, the eldest grandson queen was there to comfort Li Er, the dead chickens, dead geese and dead sheep were all in the middle, and a royal doctor was trembling with a knife to disembowel the chicken, Cheng Hong gave his hand and waited for the order.

After a while, the imperial doctor stopped and arched his hand and said: "The minister just cut this chicken and found that there are purple spots on the heart of the chicken...... Li Eryi waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about that, just say how this chicken died!" The imperial doctor bowed his head: "The one who died of poisoning was just the incompetence of the poisonous ministers......

Li Eryi threw the pen holder over: "Waste! Eater! Why is it poisoned again? Didn't you say you weren't poisoned? The imperial doctor replied again: "Judging from the pulse, the emperor and queen are indeed not poisoned!" Cheng Hong said secretly: Okay! I can't leave the emperor behind for anything! I really ate it! Li Er blasted away the imperial doctor and eunuch, leaving only Cheng Hong and Li Er: "Say it!" What the hell is going on! Why is the pulse not poisoned! ”

Cheng Hong arched his hand and said: "Father, this is not an ordinary poison, this is called heavy metal poisoning, and it can't be seen on the pulse!" Li Er asked again: "Is there a way to detoxify?" Cheng Hong said: "There is no way to detoxify, only detoxification, the human body has immune function, just like a strong person can occasionally be cured of wind and cold without medicine, this heavy metal poison can help the human body to expel the poison from the body by eating some vegetables!"

Li Er asked, "What's there?" "Radish, cherry, black fungus, milk that's it, after a while, Erchen will go to the kitchen to make some of this dish for the queen mother, and the queen mother's qi disease also has some matters to pay attention to, if you pay attention to some you can be cured!"

Li Er nodded, and was about to signal Cheng Hong to go down, when he suddenly asked, "Who do you guess did this!" Cheng Hong arched his hand and said: "This game of chess involves the inner courtyard of the palace, the children of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and they are familiar with various matters in the palace and also know the qi disease of the queen mother, all aspects are involved, and the ministers can't guess who has such a big hand."

Li Er waved his hand to let Cheng Hong go down, with anger, guilt, and helplessness on his face.

Cheng Hong went out and asked the eunuch to lead him straight to the imperial dining room to cook for the queen......

Vinegared cabbage, stir-fried cabbage with fungus, radish stew, mutton radish...... Finally, I wrote some recipes and some precautions, and handed them to the eunuch after writing, and I ate roast lamb leg in the imperial dining room. The emperor's dictation: Get out! ”

Cheng Hong ......: "After chanting the scriptures, hit the monk!" "Hold the leg of mutton and gnaw it while walking!

In the house, the emperor and the queen ate the dishes cooked by Cheng Hong and asked the eunuch, "What did that monkey spirit say?" The eunuch replied: "Cheng Juma said: After reciting the scriptures, hit the monk!" Li Er laughed: "It's very appropriate!"
