Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Chapter 534: Searching for the Tianshan Buddha Lotus

At this moment, Doctor Li was still taking Qin Chengqian's pulse and was being pestered by Qin Chengqian and refused to leave.

After Imperial Doctor Li treated Qin Chengqian, he stayed in the room, observing his condition and comforting him, "Don't worry, Your Highness, take this medicine on time and you will get better."

Qin Chengqian lay in bed, coughed twice, and said weakly: "Thank you, Doctor Li."

"This is what I should do."

After waiting for a long time, Jinkui finally came back limping.

Seeing this, Qin Chengqian finally spoke: "Doctor Li has worked hard. It's almost dawn, so I won't keep Doctor Li here."

"Someone, send Doctor Li back."

Finally able to leave, Doctor Li stood up and said, "Your Highness, please rest well. I will come to check your pulse tomorrow."

After seeing off Doctor Li, Jinkui came into the room, dismissed the palace maids, and closed the door.

Qin Chengqian also immediately sat up from the bed, his expression serious, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Jinkui took out a Tianshan Buddha Lotus from his arms with trembling hands.

His eyes were red and full of fear.

"Your Highness, a box of Tianshan Buddha Lotus is here, unused!"

"The Queen never used the Tianshan Buddha Lotus during her lifetime!"

Qin Chengqian frowned and took the Tianshan Buddha Lotus in shock. He felt a little devastated and didn't dare to think about it too much.

"It is absolutely impossible for Imperial Doctor Li to secretly take so many Tianshan Buddha Lotuses. Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare commit such a capital crime!"

If my mother had used these Tianshan Buddha Lotuses when she was alive, her illness might have been cured, and she wouldn't have passed away so young...

Qin Chengqian's heart was in turmoil and his chest was aching.

Jinkui has something to say but dare not say it.

Qin Chengqian understood it in his heart but didn't dare to think about it too much. Hai Dehong was his father's man.

My mother did not use the Tianshan Buddha Lotus during her lifetime. Was it my father's intention?

But why?

……

The next morning, Qin Chengqian came to Fengqi Palace again in a daze.

But at this moment in Fengqi Palace, a group of eunuchs were digging up the flowers and plants in the garden. Qin Chengqian wanted to stop them, but he knew he couldn't.

If he did anything to displease his father again, he might even lose his life.

They could only watch from outside Fengqi Palace.

Sadness in my heart.

At this time, two palace maids passed by carrying snacks.

The two palace maids were discussing something.

"Your Majesty, perhaps because you've been overworked lately, has developed a headache."

"Don't get a headache like the late queen did. It would be very troublesome if you did."

"Yes, I heard that this headache is incurable. Princess Yi also suffered from headaches in the past. General Jiang used the Tianshan Buddha Lotus to keep her alive every day, but she eventually died of the disease."

"Oh, I don't know what this hidden disease is. What a coincidence that everyone has a headache."

"I hope the Queen hasn't contracted this strange disease!"

This conversation reached Qin Chengqian's ears clearly.

His eyebrows jumped.

Headache...

The Queen Mother and Princess Yi both contracted the same headache?

What kind of disease is this? What a coincidence.

He recalled calmly and found that before his mother contracted the headache, she had always been in good health and rarely even caught a cold.

How did this disease come about?

This coincidence made him think more.

Want to get to the bottom of it.

That day, Qin Chengqian left the palace and met with Qin Jianjian.

Arriving at Dengque Tower, Qin gradually became a little uneasy. "I wonder what the Highness wants to see me about?"

Qin Chengqian slowly poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Your brother has been missing for so long, is there still no trace of him?"

"I heard that your family owed a lot of debts before. Do you need any help?"

Qin Jianjian was slightly startled, and lowered his head with a gloomy look. "I sold some of my property, and the previous debts have been almost paid off."

She didn't know why her life was so miserable.

Ever since Jiang Ningwan left, Prince Yi's Mansion has been on a downward spiral. After his mother's death, he thought he still had his brother to depend on, but now even his brother is missing.

She is the only one in Prince Yi's mansion, and she can't even afford to support maids and guards.

The debt collectors always come to our door.

It kept her awake every night.

I was afraid that those land thugs would break into the house.

At this time, Qin Chengqian took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and placed them in front of her. "These should be enough to pay off the debt."

Qin Jian looked up in shock, "Your Highness, do you want me to do something?"

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian said frankly: "I want to ask about your mother's headache."

Qin Jianjian shook his head. "Mother got her headaches after Father passed away. She's taken a lot of medicine but nothing has helped. I don't know much, so what does Your Highness want to know?"

Qin Chengqian said, "I want to know the symptoms of her headache."

Qin Jianmi explained everything in detail, describing the symptoms of the disease in detail. When the pain was severe, only the Tianshan Buddha Lotus could be of some help and relieve the pain.

After hearing this, Qin Chengqian was shocked. The symptoms were almost exactly the same as his mother's headache.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Is it really just a disease?

At this time, Qin Jianjian said again: "In fact, we have suspected before that this is not a disease, but caused by other reasons."

"When Jiang Ningwan treated my mother, she mentioned that the Tianshan Buddha Lotus had the effect of detoxifying. So I suspect my mother's illness may be poisoning."

"But without evidence, the case was left unresolved."

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian's face changed, "Poisoned?"

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Don't tell anyone about what I'm looking for you about today, okay?"

Qin nodded gradually.

"The bill has been paid, take your time eating." After saying that, Qin Chengqian stood up and left.

Watching Qin Chengqian leave, Qin Jianjian hurriedly put away the banknotes. If he saved them, the money would be enough to cover the mansion's expenses for several years.

Jiang Ningwan also gave some money, enough to last for a long time.

Although she didn't know why Jiang Ningwan asked her to say these words, nothing was more important to her than money.

After Qin Chengqian left, he immediately asked people to secretly search for a doctor who was proficient in poison techniques on a large scale.

He wanted to confirm whether his mother's headache was caused by poison!

After searching for seven or eight days, there was still no clue.

But on the tenth day, there was finally a clue.

"Your Highness, we've found a poison doctor on the black market, but he's very secretive. I've learned that he only sells medicinal herbs on the first and fifteenth day of every month."

"It's extremely difficult to find him at other times."

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian thought that the day after tomorrow would be the fifteenth.

Go to the black market immediately and wait there in advance.

After waiting for two days, the poison doctor showed up on time.

Qin Chengqian stepped forward and took out a stack of banknotes. The old poison doctor's eyes lit up, "Sir, do you want to buy poison or medicinal herbs?"

Qin Chengqian wore a mask and spoke in a low voice, "I want to ask you something. If you know the answer, there's a reward!"

The old poison doctor immediately took the banknote and said, "Sir, just ask!"

Qin Chengqian asked, "Is there a kind of poison that can cause long-term, recurring headaches that appear to be symptoms of a disease, and doctors can't tell it's poison even when taking the patient's pulse?"

Hearing this, the old poison doctor's face changed. He frowned and stroked his beard, "You said this poison... do you have more detailed symptoms?"

Qin Chengqian thought for a moment and said, "The Tianshan Buddha Lotus can relieve headaches!"

The old poison doctor was suddenly shocked.

"You know?" Qin Chengqian suddenly became excited.
