Chapter 73 Detoxification

The task of pulling out the poison for Zhong Su was carried out in the middle of the night, which required absolute silence on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also possible to deal with the imperial physician. Shen Feng's arrival is not going to sue Imperial Doctor Wang, Imperial Doctor Wang is now living in the courtyard of Zhenbei Hou, and he will not walk around, as long as he copes with it for a few days, and when Zhong Su improves, Imperial Doctor Wang thinks that he has used his medicine properly, which is enough.

In order not to disturb Shen Feng as much as possible, only Shen Feng and Zhong Su were left in the house, and even the matter of sending hot water to the house was handled by Zun Chen. The hot water is constantly boiling in the small kitchen, and it has never been interrupted for a moment, Bizhu looks at the water and is responsible for adding, Xiao Wu is responsible for scooping the water into the bucket and letting Zunchen take it away, and also adding firewood to the two stoves from time to time to ensure the speed of boiling water.

Ran Ning stood in the courtyard and waited, she was not sleepy, although the weather was cold, it was no match for her mood of wanting to know the progress. Shen Feng said that this kind of poison extraction would take three days, so even after tonight, Zhong Su might still not wake up, but it didn't matter to Ran Ning, as long as the person was fine.

Hot water was carried into the house again and again and poured into two large tubs filled with herbs. Soon after, buckets of water that turned dark purple were carried out, and after Zunchen added some other medicinal powders to the water, he sent them to the gate of the courtyard, and asked the secret guards to help pour them out, and the water with medicinal powder would not be poisonous to others, so he could safely discard them.

It wasn't until the sky was white that Shen Feng walked out.

Ran Ning immediately greeted him and said, "Uncle Shi has worked hard, how is he?" ”

"It's okay, let someone help him to bed." After Shen Feng finished speaking, no matter what Ran Ning's reaction was, he directly crossed her and went back to his room to rest.

After Ran Ning entered the house, he saw that Zhong Su had been fished out of the water by Zunchen, and at this time he had already dried his body and put on his underwear. Ran Ning hurriedly stepped forward to help, and helped Zhong Su to lie on the bed with Zunchen.

"Master has worked hard, tired all night, let's go and rest early. There is a bird's nest stew in the kitchen, and I will have someone send it to you and your uncle's room in a moment. Ran Ning was very grateful to Zunchen and Shen Feng, if it weren't for them, Zhong Su didn't know what would have happened.

"There's no hurry." Zunchen checked Zhong Su's pulse, and then said: "Yesterday, Imperial Physician Wang changed the prescription for Su'er, and when he came to see the doctor today, he will definitely feel that the prescription is effective, just follow him." ”

"Yes, Ran Ning understands." Ran Ning nodded. Zhong Su's face is already much better than before, and I believe that after two more days, it should be almost clear.

"Su'er won't wake up for the time being, so you can go and rest too. It's useless to stay up like this, pay attention to your body. Zunchen reminded. How Ran Ning has guarded Zhong Su in the past few days, he can see it very clearly, and he feels that Zhong Su has not married the wrong person.

"Yes, Ran Ning will pay attention." For the care of the elders, Ran Ning will still accept it honestly.

"Then I'll go back first, and let Xiao Wu dispose of the water in the bucket in a while."

"Good. Master walked slowly. ”

Ran Ning sent Zunchen to the door before returning to the bedside. Zhong Su's lips were a little dry, Zhong Su dipped some tea in a clean white towel and helped him moisten his lips, and then put down the bed tent so that Zhong Su could sleep better.

When Xiao Wu came in to clean up the bathtub, Ran Ning also called Bizhu into the warm pavilion.

"Did the bird's nest deliver?" Ran Ning asked.

"It's already been delivered." Bizhu replied.

Ran Ning nodded, took a sip of the red date tea sent by Bizhu, and said, "You go and prepare a few New Year's gifts, and I'll write a list in a while, and you personally help me send it over." I said that I was supposed to go to pay New Year's greetings in person, but I couldn't go to the house because of something urgent, so I hope the elders will forgive me. After my grandfather went, it was inconvenient for me to come and go because of the identity of the girl's family, but I never forgot the care of my elders. Now that I have made it, thank you ladies for your arrival and blessings on the day of makeup. A special gift will be prepared in the middle of the year to celebrate the New Year. My grandfather did not dare to forget the promise of the past, and when he had time, he would personally visit the door and wish the elders good health. ”

Bizhu seemed to understand Ran Ning's intentions a little, but she wasn't very sure, "Young lady, what do you mean......"

"Just what you think. I've had enough of this kind of passivity where soldiers come to block and water comes to cover up. Instead of being scared, it is better for me to be a knife and clear a qiē danger. For Bizhu, Ran Ning has nothing to avoid.

Bizhu nodded with a smile and said, "It's great that you can think like this, Bizhu thinks that you are so smart and deeply taught by the old uncle, you shouldn't live so passively." Sometimes Bizhu feels aggrieved for you. Although the old uncle said that he hoped that you would have no quarrel with the world, with your current position, you already have to fight. The old uncle is willing to teach you this, and I should also hope that you can apply what you have learned when necessary and be able to protect yourself, so that the old uncle's spirit in heaven can rest in peace. ”

Ran Ning patted Bizhu's hand and said, "You can see it better than me." ”

Bizhu shook her head and said, "The slave just watched that it was not easy for you to come over the years, and I felt sorry for you, and I just felt sorry for you." ”

"Well, in fact, sometimes it's a good way to go on offense and defense." Ran Ning smiled and said, "I'll leave the matter of giving the New Year's gift to you, you can go on my behalf, and I can rest assured." After all, Bizhu has been by her side for so many years, and Ran Ning also knows that she is a talker.

"Don't worry, I'll leave this to the slave." Bizhu swore to answer.

After Bizhu finished preparing for the New Year's ceremony, he took a short rest for an hour, and then took the list written by Ran Ning to send it, Xiao Wu didn't know what was going on, he just thought it was a normal New Year's gift to the people who Ran Ning had made friends before, and he was afraid that Bizhu would not be able to do it alone, so he went with him. It wasn't until Bizhu arrived at the right minister's mansion that he felt that something was not quite right, but he didn't ask much.

Ran Ning's proposed list this time are all officials who are friends with Lao Wan Pingbo and are now in Beijing, and she has also seen officials, some of these people were promoted after Lao Wan Pingbo went, such as the right minister, the military department, etc., and some were transferred out of the capital, and it is not easy to contact now, and Ran Ning is ready to send people to visit them one by one after the year, these people who have been transferred abroad may not be as mixed as these in Beijing, but they are all local talkable, and they will definitely be useful in the future, even if they can't be used, they are also accumulating contacts, nothing bad.

When Bizhu came back from the New Year's gift, she also brought back a lot of return gifts, as well as some invitations, most of which were invited to her to come to the house when she was free, and some invited her to participate in the banquet. But no matter which one it is, it made Bizhu come back with a message, saying that Zhong Su's body should be the most important thing first. Zhong Su's poisoning has long been no secret among the powerful, but the family rules of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion are very strict, and others can't inquire about any progress.

Ran Ning accepted these posts and return gifts, and also felt these connections left by her grandfather, even if there was not much contact, and her grandfather went again, but he did not treat her coldly, but attached great importance to it, and she was also very grateful to her grandfather. And the only one among these people who didn't say anything was the Fengguo General's Mansion, and Ran Ning didn't care too much, she wouldn't be a villain's belly, and she wouldn't make a judgment no longer to communicate. Because she trusted her deceased grandfather, even if the people in her grandfather's connections didn't help her, they shouldn't hurt her.

On the third day, the time for pulling out the poison was very short, and it took only one hour. The people of Zhenbei Hou Mansion didn't sleep tonight, waiting for the results in Qingfeng Courtyard. In order to prevent Imperial Physician Wang from finding out that he was kept in the dark, Zhenbei Hou specially invited him to drink wine at night, saying that Zhong Su's improvement was all due to Imperial Physician Wang, and Imperial Physician Wang was happy, and he also drank a lot, and now he is asleep.

When Shen Feng came out, Zhenbei Hou immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is Su'er?" ”

"It's fine, but it's poisoned after all, and it will take a while to recuperate. I'll fool the Imperial Doctor with some similar but harmless medicine, and I'll leave the rest to Zunchen. It was rare for Shen Feng to say such a long word, even if there was still no expression on his face. It also makes people feel a lot more kind.

"That's good, that's good. Thank you for your hard work. Hou Laohuai of Zhenbei nodded comfortingly, and the people of the whole house also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you!" General Zhong thanked Shen Feng very solemnly.

"No thanks." Shen Feng replied lightly and walked to his room.

They were all used to Shen Feng's attitude, and they knew that he had no malicious intent. Tan Shi said to the maid beside him: "Quickly send the stewed tonic over, and his uncle can rest after eating." ”

"Yes." The maid beside Tan immediately went with the supplement.

After Ran Ning followed the elders into the house, Zhong Su was already lying on the bed, although his face still didn't look bloody, but he didn't feel like he was defeated before.

"The poison has basically been cleaned up, and the rest of the decoction is slowly excreted from the body, nothing serious. I guess he won't wake up until tomorrow morning, so don't worry too much, go back and rest early. Zunchen said.

"This time it's thanks to you and Shen Feng." Zhenbei Hou patted Zunchen on the shoulder, and he also sighed in his heart that Zhong Su had met such a good master.

"Master Hou is polite, Su'er has been practicing martial arts with me since he was a child, even if I grew up, there is no difference between me and my own son, and I should do my best for him." Zunchen said. In fact, this master-apprentice relationship is sometimes no less than the father-son relationship, after all, one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father.

"Well, then I'm not very polite." Zhenbei Hou knew very well that Zhong Su was sometimes even a little closer to Zunchen than his biological father.

For this, General Zhong and Tan also knew it in their hearts. General Zhong was busy with military affairs and had little time to take care of Zhong Su, who spent much more time with Zunchen than he did when he was growing up. And Tan knows better that in the years when she was estranged from Zhong Su, Zunchen had replaced her mother very well and gave Zhong Su meticulous care. Therefore, whether Zhong Su and Zunchen are closer, or whether Zunchen treats Zhong Su as a son, it is inevitable, and as biological parents, they have nothing to be dissatisfied with.

"I'll go to my senior brother's place first to take a look, there won't be any problems here, you can rest assured." Zunchen said.

"Well, there you go." Zhenbei Hou nodded.

Zunchen left first.

Seeing that Zhong Su's complexion was indeed better, as Zhong Su's elder, he finally slept peacefully.

"Su'er is fine, Ning'er should also take a rest. When Su'er wakes up tomorrow and sees you like this, she will definitely blame us elders for not taking good care of you. Zhenbei Hou said.

Ran Ning has slept together for about three hours in the past few days, and her eyes are very green, and the red bloodshot in her eyes has not disappeared. Ran Ning took care of Zhong Su with all her heart, and they were naturally pleased to be elders, but they were all children, and the palms and backs of their hands were full of meat, and they didn't want Ran Ning to break their bodies for Zhong Su.

"Granddaughter-in-law knows." Ran Ning smiled and nodded, this is also the most sincere time Ran Ning has smiled for so many days.

At this time, the little maid also came in with the tonic for Ran Ning, Tan quickly asked her to bring it, and said to Ran Ning: "Eat a little and rest quickly, wake up tomorrow and feel better, and Su'er can recuperate with peace of mind when she looks at it." "Tan knows Zhong Su, if Ran Ning is not good, he is probably not in the mood to recuperate.

"Okay." Ran Ning honestly ate Tan's stewed tonic and didn't say anything.

The three elders looked at Zhong Su for a while, and they didn't stay any longer, so they went back to the courtyard first.

Ran Ning flicked the lotus seeds in the bowl and said to Zhong Su, who was still asleep: "Wake up quickly, I can't finish eating these, you can help me eat them." Mother's heart can't be wasted. ”

Zhong Su didn't react. Ran Ning smiled unconsciously disappointed - wait until tomorrow, tomorrow Zhong Su will be able to respond to her.
