Chapter 86: Poison (2)
Everyone didn't expect that Li Shuqiao, who had never been as weak as a little white flower, would aggressively catch the mistakes of the Lan family, no matter how good the aunt was, it would not be her daughter's turn to discipline her father's room. Li Yu also frowned, but he didn't say anything, glanced at the soft Lan family, and said to Imperial Doctor Wu: "Please also ask Imperial Doctor Wu to bother to diagnose and treat." ”
Imperial Physician Wu arched his hand towards Li Yu and said, "The old lady is deeply poisoned, and she is older, so the situation is not very good, so the old man should do his best." With that, he walked aside and took up a pen to meditate on the prescription, ignoring the crowd. Li Yu swept Lan and Mama Lian and asked, "What the hell is going on!"
Mama Lian went to the old lady, took off the forehead wipe on her head, knelt in front of Li Yu and held it high, her face was very ugly, Mama Jiang was not here these days, and she handled everything around the old lady, and now that there was such a big mistake, she naturally wanted to make things clear first, "Master, a few days ago, the Lan family took the needle and thread they made themselves to honor the old lady, and it was this forehead wipe." ”
Everyone looked at the forehead, the purple bottom, embroidered with the Eight Treasures Fushou Diagram, the stitches were neat, the patterns were complex and exquisite, and it took a lot of thought at a glance. Lian Mama said: "Lan said, I heard that the old lady has not slept well recently, and deliberately placed a little cinnabar in the mezzanine to calm the nerves, the old lady likes this kind of exquisite small objects very much on weekdays, and she is very happy, so she put it on at that time, who knows how ...... You must call the shots and punish this wolf-hearted man......"
Lan Shi was taken aback when he heard this, "Mama Lian, that forehead is just a little cinnabar, it has the effect of calming the nerves, how can it be possible to poison the old lady!"
Lian Mama said: "The evidence is conclusive, you still dare to quibble, the old lady has always been in good health, if it weren't for this, how could she suddenly be poisoned by cinnabar?"
Li Shuqiao sneered, picked up the scissors in the basket, cut the forehead mercilessly, shook his wrist, and the red powder fell to the ground with a flutter, Li Shuqiao looked at the red stained on his fingers, and said angrily: "You still don't tell the truth?"
Lan was completely frightened when he saw the red powder falling. She didn't know how to justify it, she did it to wipe her forehead, but she didn't put so much cinnabar in it! Although the Lan family didn't think much of Li Shuqiao's sarcasm, in this unfavorable situation, she still obediently changed her mouth and called Li Yu the master: "Master, the master is not me, I don't, I just want to do some needlework to honor the old lady, and it doesn't hurt anyone...... Be...... It was the fifth girl who suggested that I do this!"
Li Shuci saw a trace of hideousness flashing in Li Shuqiao's eyes, this is the purpose of her aggressiveness towards the Lan family? But she obviously asked someone to inspect that thing, and it was indeed only a very small amount of cinnabar in it, which could not cause poisoning at all, and because of this, there were some flaws on the edge of the forehead, and the old lady laughed at her for being too cautious. And now, how could so much cinnabar appear in it out of thin air! Who can move the old lady's things? How can they take apart the forehead wipe under their noses and add so much cinnabar to it? The purple forehead wipe is still on the ground by Li Shuqiao's hand, and the patterns on it are dyed with the evil red of cinnabar, and under the light of the lamps and candles in the room, it shows a bit of bewitching beauty.
Li Shuqiao looked at Li Shuci with an unbelievable gaze and said, "Fifth sister, why are you doing this?"
Li Shuci's cold gaze roamed over Li Shuqiao's face, whether it was Li Shuqiao or the Zhou family, or the Shen family, which was quite hidden, in short, they had only one purpose, which was to hit the third room and kill the grandmother......! How do they do it?
Li Shuci's eyes couldn't wait to see Li Shuqiao's bones, Li Shuqiao forcibly suppressed the creepy feeling in her heart: "Fifth sister, why are you looking at me like this, grandmother loves you the most, you actually spend such a heart to harm her." also used Aunt Lan's mind to get away with it, and now that you have revealed your deeds, is it possible that you still want to kill me too?"
"Big sister, the most important thing now is to heal my grandmother. Grandmother is lying on the sickbed, I don't know whether she is alive or dead, but you have nothing to do here, what is the purpose of sowing discord? What about your filial piety?" Li Shuci knew that she couldn't show her cowardice, if it weren't for her grandfather's guilt for the third room, this level would not be so easy, and if she was not careful, she would be surrounded by Li Shuqiao, so she couldn't entangle with Li Shuqiao on this issue.
Li Shuqiao's words choked in her throat, she didn't expect Li Shuci to not explain at all, but to question her, she couldn't refute for a while, her body was crooked on Li Shuwen on the side, crying into a weak white lotus, looking at Li Yu and said: "Grandfather, I'm just too worried about my grandmother, I heard Aunt Lan mention it, so I asked the fifth sister...... But she ...... But he scolded me for not being filial, and if this is spread, how can I see people in the future......"
Li Yu's brows furrowed deeply, she looked at the supple and grieving Li Shuqiao, and felt more and more that Li Shuci, who was standing straight aside, was too aggressive, "Ah Ci, your eldest sister is just asking you two words, why do you say this, it ruins her reputation!"
The corners of Li Shuci's mouth were full of ridicule: "Oh, grandfather said this, but I don't understand, the eldest sister said that I assassinated my grandmother, isn't it bad for my reputation?"
Li Yu was speechless, he was in a high position, adhering to the mean, if he said that political affairs were naturally the head. It's a pity that these chicken and dog things in the back house, he naturally can't catch up with any of the back house girls. After choking for a long time, he still felt guilty about Li Shuci, and asked: "What is the matter, you can tell it clearly." ”
"Lan did go and ask my grandmother what she liked, I told her that my grandmother likes delicate needlework, is there anything wrong? Lan sent things directly to my grandmother, how could I ever touch a finger? The eldest sister talked nonsense, and she was not afraid that in the end, she couldn't tell herself!" Li Shuci sighed secretly, the only thing left in his grandfather's heart, this little bit of guilt, I don't know which day it will be completely wiped out.
Li Yu's head was as big as a bucket, so he simply flicked his sleeves and walked up to Imperial Physician Wu and asked, "Imperial Physician Wu, do you think the dose of these cinnabar can poison Neiko?"
Imperial Physician Wu had already ordered someone to grab the medicine, and he was waiting on the side at this time, when he heard the sound, he walked to the place where the cinnabar was sprinkled, pinched some and put it under his nose, smelled it, and after confirming that it was cinnabar, he said: "These doses are indeed very large, but the old lady should not be poisoned because of this." ”
Everyone was stunned again when they heard this, and Imperial Physician Wu continued: "It is true that cinnabar has a calming effect, but if the dosage is not appropriate, over time, the toxicity will penetrate into the skin mechanism, and it will kill people." But...... These cinnabars, the old lady has not been exposed to for a long time, and looking at her symptoms, it should be a large dose of continuous ingestion in a short period of time and sudden poisoning. ”
Lan cried out at the right time: "Master, I was wronged...... I have never harmed anyone, and I have never harmed the old lady......
Li Shuqiao said: "Hmph, even if your grandmother is not poisonous because of you, you can't escape the involvement! This cinnabar in your forehead shows that you have a harmful heart!"
Lan Shi was stunned on the spot, she was really speechless at this time!
Li Yu looked at Jiang Shi lying on the couch, his mood was very complicated, this was her wife, but if he chose another path, he would definitely sacrifice one party. Li Shuci looked at his lowered gaze, and the hands in his sleeves clenched unconsciously, it turned out that he knew! Everything was the result of his connivance! "Imperial Doctor Wu, please tell me the truth, how is grandmother?"
Imperial Physician Wu raised his eyes and crashed into a cold and deep eye, those eyes were as black as paint, bottomless. He subconsciously said: "Even if the old lady wakes up, it is impossible to be the same as before, I'm afraid it will ......"
Li Shuci's heart almost sank to the bottom, and she said: "Imperial Doctor Wu, please do your best to save my grandmother's life!
The room was silent, Imperial Physician Wu looked at the little girl in front of him, he walked in the deep palace all the year round, what kind of powerful concubines had never seen, the emperor, the minister, he saw a lot, and he didn't feel anything. But today, she was almost shocked by her aura, and her words made people want to listen unconsciously, and Imperial Doctor Wu was very strange. Said: "You should be like this!"
"Imperial Doctor Wu, if it weren't for these cinnabars, how would my mother have been poisoned?" Zhou was wearing a cotton skirt embroidered with gold embroidery,
Supported by the girl, her face was pale and she lifted the curtain and entered the inner room with difficulty, and it was obvious that the wound on her back had not healed.
Imperial Physician Wu looked at the brazier burning in the room and said, "Although cinnabar can't poison people quickly, after burning, it can poison people deeply in a short time. Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary?"
Someone immediately went out to the brazier to check it, then shook his head and signaled that there was no problem.
Seeing that the Zhou family was coming, Wu looked like he was in charge, and he was very unhappy, and said: "Who would let it continue to burn when they notice that there is cinnabar? Besides, how can there be cinnabar in the brazier, this pot of charcoal will not be burned for long before it needs to be replaced, is it possible that the people who use their hands and feet will come to sprinkle some cinnabar every time?"
Imperial Physician Wu was also speechless for a while, Li Shuqiao's eyes were red, as if she was enduring grief, and suddenly said: "When grandmother goes out to sleep at night, there are always people around to serve her, since grandmother is poisoned, why are the people around her okay?"
The girl beside the old lady looked at each other, and Su Luo said: "The old lady sleeps lightly, and the slightest movement will wake up, so we are all keeping vigil in the warm pavilion outside, so except when we sleep at night, we do follow the old lady every step of the way." ”
"When you go to bed at night...... "Mama Lian said suddenly, "The old lady has always had a habit of leaving a candle when she sleeps at night!"
Candle!
The people in the room looked at Yao's with a brush, and Li Shuci's heart was cold......
No wonder Li Shuqiao just gave up after a few mockery, it turned out that the purpose was not her at all, but her mother! The charcoal fire and candle fire up and down the Li Mansion were all in charge of the Yao family......
