Chapter 373 (1/2)
Queen Wei rested for two days. Her physical strength has recovered a lot and she has the spirit to speak. But her face was still pale and bloodless, because Biyun had to seriously paint empress Wei every morning and hide her pink face as pale and haggard, which was in line with her identity as a ”seriously ill person”.
After eating a bowl of lotus seed soup brought by Biyun, empress Wei lay in bed again. Luo qingluan went over and asked about the coma that morning. If the cause of Queen Wei's poisoning is not found out, it is likely to be caught again accidentally, so Luo qingluan must confirm this.
Hearing Luo qingluan's question, empress Wei thought about it and frowned. She seemed to recall what happened three days ago: ”that morning, the palace was reading, but later she saw that the weather was good and wanted to go out for a walk.”
Queen Wei also knew that her physical condition was not very good. She usually took a rest in the yard and rarely went to the imperial garden. Therefore, even though the weather was very good that day, she didn't go far.
Biyun nodded: ”yes, Miss Luo, I just accompanied the empress that morning and walked around the yard outside.”
Every place is the key to empress Wei's actions that day. Luo qingluan must understand the process in detail. Make sure again whether queen Wei ate anything special.
Queen Wei shook her head and said, ”no, the palace didn't have a good appetite that day. She ate some porridge in the morning. Even when Biyun gave me fruit, I didn't eat it.”
Since this was said by Empress Wei herself, Luo qingluan believed that there should be no omission: ”the empress, think again, do you smell any strange smell in the yard, or touch anything special?”
As a doctor, Luo qingluan knows the possibility of poisoning very well. After all, Queen Wei is not in good health. I'm afraid a little dose will make her attack. Whether it is air contact or touching anything, these may expose queen Wei to Mengtuo grass.
Empress Wei thought for a moment and spoke slowly: ”I remember that the roses on the courtyard wall bloomed well that day. I like it very much, but should there be no problem with this?”
The rose is not poisonous, and Luo qingluan also checked the rose that day, and there was no sign of being poisoned, so this can be ruled out.
”What else...” empress Wei continued to think and said with some uncertainty: ”by the way, Biyun, didn't our palace feed fish that day? But those fish are alive and kicking. There's no problem? Won't anyone poison the water?”
Suddenly thinking of this, Biyun immediately nodded and said, ”Oh, yes, my mother, is there a problem with the water? Because my mother touched the water when feeding the fish, so she was poisoned?”
Luo qingluan shook his head: ”this should not. If fish can survive in the water, the water must be no problem, just...”
Now that there are doubts that have not been found before, Luo qingluan plans to have a look anyway.
Out of the door, Luo qingluan saw the cloisonne aquarium under the big banyan tree in the middle of the courtyard. Walking over, she saw that the fish in the water tank were still cheerful and lively, swaying around, and she couldn't see anything different.
Isn't it the problem with this fish tank?
Luo qingluan secretly mocked and thought he might have thought too much. She was about to leave when a flash of light flashed in her mind. It seemed that she thought of something. She immediately turned and asked Biyun beside her: ”by the way, is there any fish food that my mother fed to the fish that day? Show me.”
Biyun nodded, turned and ran back to the house. A moment later, he came out with a red sandalwood box. When I opened it, the box contained all the fish food that queen Wei usually fed to the fish. It was packed in small squares with a silver spoon inside.
Luo qingluan took the wooden box and put it in front of his nose. Suddenly, a faint smell of dream camel grass penetrated into his nose.
As soon as his eyes brightened, Luo qingluan was surprised and said, ”that's it!”
”What, is this fish food?” Biyun didn't react yet and looked surprised.
No wonder she had never thought that the original problem was the fish food. Although Luo qingluan had nine points of doubt, she had to experiment in person to be sure. She scooped some fish food with a silver spoon and put it into the fish tank. Immediately, fish rushed up and swallowed the fish food one by one, which was very interesting.
But Luo qingluan was not playing. After feeding a few spoonfuls of fish, she stopped and carefully observed the reaction of these fish. As time went by, the fish soon ate up the fish. Biyun waited for a while and found nothing unusual.
She was a little strange: ”Miss Luo, you see, there's nothing here. It shouldn't be the problem of fish food...” before she finished, there was something wrong with the fish in the fish tank.
Several fish obviously swim very slowly, and there are some signs of tumbling, like dying. After swimming for a while, the fish seemed to want to move, but there was no way. Gradually, they swam more and more slowly. Finally, they stopped moving and floated directly on the water with their stomach upward.
Biyun widened her eyes: ”ah... Miss Luo, these fish are dead!”
”Dead? I'm not sure.”
Luo qingluan grabbed a fish directly, looked at it carefully and shook his head, ”No, these fish have eaten fish food, but at least they are not dead yet. The fish are poisoned by the fish food, but the physical conditions of the fish and people are different. Although the mother will be poisoned and unconscious when she comes into contact with these fish food, the degree of coma of the fish is different. It is estimated that these fish may recover in a while.”
