Chapter 182 Found it
When Hua Dexing was found, he was sorting out detoxifying herbs in the Imperial Hospital.
"Hua Dexing! Come with me!" Mingyue grabbed his sleeve without saying a word and was about to walk out.
Hua Dexing looked confused. He stretched out his long arm and hooked Mingyue into his arms. "Don't worry, wait a moment. I'll be ready soon. Just wait a little longer."
So, he held Mingyue with one hand and weighed the herbs with the other. Mingyue hung on his arm and swung with a look of despair. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.
"Okay, where are we going?" Hua Dexing finally finished. Mingyue's stomach was so squeezed that it was about to burst, and she couldn't say a word.
But who would have thought that the next moment, Hua Dexing walked around as if he was looking for something, and finally stopped in front of Zhizhi and Taotao, "Where is your young lady? Wasn't she here just now? Am I hallucinating?"
Zhizhi and Taotao looked at him in shock, pointing at Mingyue, who was in his arms and had a red face...
He followed their gazes and lowered his head. Sure enough, he saw Mingyue looking at him with resentment. "Ah, this, that, ah, I can only say that you are too thin, little princess. I can't even detect your presence."
Since he is so good at talking, I let him go.
Mingyue got off the ground and ran out quickly. He rubbed his stomach vigorously and whispered to himself, "I'm sorry, my stomach brother."
When they arrived at Yongshou Palace, Mingyue pulled Hua Dexing towards the fish tank in the center of the hall.
"Hua Dexing, take a look at this fish tank. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Hua Dexing took a deep breath and suppressed the nameless anger in his heart. This girl turned around and saw a pile of dog shit. She didn’t want me to smell it too, did she?
But he still maintained a serious attitude and checked one by one, from the outer wall of the fish tank to the weeds inside the fish tank, and did not find anything wrong.
But he still had to smile and said, "Little Princess, I didn't find anything."
"How is this possible!!" Mingyue shouted. She looked left and right in disbelief, wishing she was a medical genius.
"Not long after this fish tank was installed, my grandmother fell into a coma. You say there's nothing wrong with this fish tank? I don't believe it! There must be something I missed!" Mingyue was a little out of control. She really wanted to find the source of the poison urgently, and a voice in her heart told her, this is it, this is it.
Hua Dexing squatted down and patted Mingyue's back, comforting her, "I understand. You're just too nervous. You tend to get suspicious when you see something suspicious."
At this time, Xiao Mazi came in with a few young eunuchs. "Master, they are said to be here to change the water in the fish tank. Seeing that you have been here all the time, they wanted to ask if it is convenient for them to work now?"
Mingyue glanced at Taotao, and Taotao nodded, meaning that this time was exactly the time to change the water in the fish tank, and these eunuchs were the ones to be matched.
Mingyue gave up the way and sat on the chaise longue beside her, watching them change the water. Hua Dexing had nothing to do, so he also sat beside them and sat in a daze with Mingyue.
But, for some reason, he suddenly smelled a strange smell. "Little Princess, do you smell anything?" Hua Dexing frowned.
Mingyue sniffed hard, "Hmm? Why is there a sudden floral scent?"
The young eunuch who was watching the eunuchs work also responded, "Yes, I smelled it too."
At this time, one of the eunuchs who was changing the water spoke up, "To answer the little princess, this fragrance is from the fish medicine ball specially made by Aunt Minhui. She said it is made from fresh flowers and soaked in water. These little fish are scrambling to eat it."
Mingyue captured the key word "Minhui", Minhui again?
"I wonder if the eunuch still has this medicine ball?" Hua Dexing rarely spoke to the young eunuch so politely.
The young eunuch was obviously a little flattered. "Yes, yes, of course there are some, but there aren't many left. Aunt Minhui said that the first month or so after the fish are delivered is the hardest time to keep them alive. Soaking them in special fish balls every day can keep them lively and help them survive longer."
"Could you bring some over so I can take a look?"
The young eunuch was somewhat reluctant. After all, there were only a few fish balls left. If the treatment failed and the fish died, they would definitely be punished.
Seeing that they still understood everything, Xiao Mazi patted the head of the leader and said, "You are also stupid. You work for the young princess and give her whatever she wants. Do you think you will be punished?"
Xiao Mazi said this not only for the little eunuch to hear, but also to prevent Mingyue from blaming them. They just wanted to avoid being punished.
Mingyue also agreed with him and said, "Go get it quickly. If anything happens, I will take care of it."
"嗻"
Soon, they returned panting, with a wooden box in their hands.
"Little princess, I have brought it to you."
Mingyue didn't even look at it and handed it to Hua Dexing, "Take a look!"
Hua Dexing took it, sniffed it through the handkerchief, crushed it, dissolved it in water, and lightly touched it with the tip of his tongue. Mingyue was so scared that she asked someone to bring a large pot of tea to the side for Hua Dexing to rinse his mouth.
As imagined, Hua Dexing licked the powder and didn't scream out in pain. Instead, he actually laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, I thought it was something else."
Then he turned to look at Mingyue, "Little Princess, you are actually quite powerful sometimes."
Mingyue was a little excited, her heart beating wildly. Had they found the source of the poison so quickly?!
"It's not the fish tank that's the problem," Hua Dexing laughed like a villain, "it's this fish ball that's the problem!"
Although Mingyue didn't know why he had a seizure, at least she had found a breakthrough. Is this the indulgence of capable people?
Soon, Jiang Hetang, Yuan Tianzhen, Zhao Mingyang, Wen Xun, and Xiao Huan'er all arrived at Yongshou Palace.
Facing everyone's questions, Hua Dexing didn't keep them in suspense. She told everyone straight to the point, "The poison that the Empress Dowager was poisoned with was the fish balls that were soaked in the fish tank water every day. I heard that they were made by a palace maid named Minhui."
"But why do we often come to the Imperial Grandmother's palace but nothing happens? And they serve the Imperial Grandmother every day, so why don't they have any problems?"
Obviously, Brother Huan found the key point.
"This is because, in addition to this fish, another thing is needed. The two counteract each other and produce a highly toxic substance, which is what is known as the eternal ghost night."
"I smelled something on the Queen Mother's nightgown earlier, but I didn't think much of it then. But now, when I smell the fish balls, I understand."
Everyone suddenly realized. Jiang Hetang looked at Hua Dexing expectantly, "Then, can the Queen Mother still be saved?"
Hua Dexing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will leave now and consult the hospital administrator to determine the treatment plan."
