Chapter 93 Acupuncture and bloodletting
In the inner room, the Duchess of Zhenguo was lying there with her eyes closed, her face was a little yellow, reflecting her red service today, and her face was even darker. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared with today's spring breeze, the duchess at this time was covered with a gorgeous brocade quilt, and she was several years old in an instant.
At this time, Zhao Qingliu and the big girl beside the Duchess came in, Zhao Qingliu sat on the chaise longue on the side to take a nap, today she was tired, mixed with some sadness and disappointment. But then she quickly comforted and healed herself: to say that she has no relationship with her husband is false.
But if you want to say what kind of Rausch love, it doesn't count. As a lady, she has accepted strict rules and etiquette since she was a child, is familiar with the scriptures and history, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. And before marrying into the Zhenguo Mansion, her mother invited her to be taught and regulated by the grandmother in the palace.
So she only knows that she wants to be a qualified and virtuous princess, how to serve her husband, take care of her husband's backyard, and take care of the entire Guogong Mansion. She can be generous, she can be virtuous, but she can't learn the love between men and women, and she doesn't disdain the means of competing for favor between those aunts.
She has always been rational in her approach to her marriage, and in the past five years of marriage, she has also been satisfied. Her husband treated her respectfully and respectfully, and there was nothing like spoiling a concubine and killing his wife.
And in the way of getting along with husband and wife, she is even more cautious of her own principles, how much love and respect her husband gives her, how much she will reciprocate, she is very accurate in this degree.
No matter what accident happens, she can find the balance of interests as quickly as possible.
However, just today, she was given by her husband. However, in the same way, she was also moved by Princess Ding and Yan Qingqing jumping out for her righteous words in that situation.
Originally, it was selfish for her to make Princess Ding as a friend, and even if she helped Princess Ding today, she was secretly in it. Therefore, today's approach to the princess made her very shocked.
And Yan Qingqing's girl even ignored her own reputation and jumped out enthusiastically and heartily. It touched her heart even more. The two seem to be two outliers in this high society, and they are not afraid of their own reputation, rumors and pressure, and resolutely jump out to clarify the truth of the matter, what courage it must be! And if it were someone else, it would not be possible. Even if it were her, she would have to weigh the pros and cons and hesitate.
The grandmother and the eldest girl of the Duchess stood on both sides of the bed, the cyan bed tent was hooked, and several people watched with wide eyes as Princess Ding stretched out her slender hand, and then three fingers were placed on her wrists.
After a while, Shao Xunmei spoke: "The Duchess of Guo has a hot pulse, because of the suddenness of today's incident, her liver fire is vigorous and her liver qi is stagnant, just let her bleed." ”
The old lady on the side said in a lost voice: "Bloodletting? ”
Shao Xunmei nodded, with a serious look on her face: "Yes, bloodletting." In both hands, the index finger and the thumb of the foot are pricked with needles to bleed to achieve the purpose of regulating qi and smoothing blood and dredging tendons. And this is the fastest way to make the Duchess better, trust me! ”
In the end, Shao Xunmei showed a peaceful smile on her face, but she saw her eyelashes curling and flickering, as if telling everyone: Believe me, that's it, that's right.
Duchess suddenly frowned uneasily, and wanted to open her eyes, but heard Shao Xunmei's cold voice coming: "Of course, if Duchess Guo wakes up now, she has to prick a needle, otherwise the liver fire stagnation will go up to the lungs, and then you will have to use needles to bleed." ”
Everyone looked at her with wide eyes, but saw a leisurely smile on her face, and her voice was very gentle: "Then you have to use a knife to bleed......"
The eyes that the Duchess wanted to open were wilted and wilted. She can be sure that this Ding Princess is deliberate, absolutely deliberate!
And Zhao Qingliu on the chaise longue changed his face after hearing this, and made a look of caring very much about his mother-in-law, and said coquettishly: "Then please ask the princess to get a needle for her mother-in-law quickly!" At this banquet, I am still waiting for my mother-in-law's birthday! ”
At this time, the girl who was guarding outside led a doctor in.
The doctor was carrying the medicine box, gasping for breath in his mouth, apparently coming quickly.
The old lady's face was happy, and she was about to ask the doctor to re-diagnose her wife's pulse, but she heard Shao Xunmei's indifferent voice coming from the bedside: "Why, this grandmother doesn't believe in the princess's medical skills?" ”
saw that her eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her eyes rose, and her tone inadvertently revealed great dissatisfaction.
This tone made the old grandmother's heart can't help but rise, and she was in a panic, only to hear Zhao Qingliu take over the words and say: "Mama Tao, even His Majesty believes in the princess's medical skills, and you are a little slave who dares to question the princess?" It seems that you have been with your mother-in-law for so long, and you are so old and dizzy, and you have not learned the slightest bit of shrewdness from your mother-in-law! The princess of this world is thinking about whether to change you to the side of the princess of this world to train you? ”
When Mama Tao heard this, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Princess, the old slave didn't mean this, please forgive the princess!" The old slave invites the princess to fall! ”
Zhao Qingliu then withdrew the knife-like gaze on her face: "Let people go down." Let's go down a few of us too. When the princess was healing, she didn't like outsiders to be present. ”
After that, Zhao Qingliu glanced at Shao Xunmei with a small smile in his eyes, and then walked out with these people.
Xiang Zhi and Pei Lan stood on the side, Shao Xunmei asked someone to prepare a white jade bowl with blood and put it on the small table next to the bed, and then only listened to her open her mouth and instructed Xiang Xu: "Take out the thickest triangular needle for me to disinfect and prepare." ”
Xiang Zhi quickly agreed. The triangular needle is a medical needle used to puncture bleeding, the needle handle is cylindrical, the needle body to the tip of the needle is triangular pyramidal, the tip of the blade is sharp, and it is divided into two types: large and small.
Xiang Zhi took the long-handled short needle, and the whole needle, which exuded a cold cold, was sterilized with alcohol. The tip of the largest model looks hideous and sharp, several times thicker than ordinary silver needles, and the scalp feels a little numb just by looking at it.
And Duchess Guo didn't see how thick the needle was because she closed her eyes, but when she heard Shao Xunmei say to use the largest number, her whole person couldn't help but stiffen. It was precisely because she couldn't see it that she felt creepy in her heart, as if a small insect crawled through her heart, and at the same time it was itchy and made her can't help but be afraid.
I only heard Shao Xunmei and faintly speak: "Pei Lan, the Duchess of the Kingdom is not in front of you, you have the honor to serve the Duchess of the Republic of China today, go and take off her foot clothes." ”
And the words of honor to serve, Shao Xunmei said very teasingly.
Pei Lan immediately didn't say a word, and immediately stepped forward and took off the birthday star's red soft cotton silk foot clothes, revealing a pair of delicate little feet that looked pale and well-maintained without sunlight all year round.
It seems that this Duchess still has a pair of beautiful heavenly feet!
The next moment, Shao Xunmei picked up the cotton stained with alcohol to disinfect her two big toes. A chill suddenly came from the tips of the Duchess's feet, and at the same time, the smell of wine spread in the air and reached the tip of her nose.
However, she did not open her eyes because she heard the threatening words.
Immediately, she felt that someone had lifted her foot and moved it in the direction of the little one next to the bed.
Her heart trembled and trembled, and panicked fear kept reaching her throat. Shaoqing, she only felt a dull pain coming from her big toe, and the dull pain then became sharp to the extreme, wanting to make her shrink her toes.
She wanted to shout, but she couldn't.
I wanted to shrink my feet, but I was firmly imprisoned by the strength of the foot.
Shao Xunmei pricked the needle into his thumb two centimeters and then pulled it out, and then the bright red blood flowed into the jade bowl.
And Shao Xunmei still disliked that one needle was not enough, and immediately made another injection worse on the small hole she had just pierced.
Then her dark eyes saw that the eyelashes of the Duchess moved involuntarily, and her eyelids fluttered. It seems to hurt, but it doesn't seem to be enough!
Then, she pricked two needles into her other big mother's toe in the same way, and squeezed out the blood so hard that the Duchess frowned, and a thin cold sweat broke out from her forehead.
After Shao Xunmei bleed on her feet, she washed her hands and came to her fingers again.
After Shao Xunmei slowly and elegantly sterilized her index finger, Shao Xunmei picked up her hand to stick the tip of the needle in.
Immediately, she saw the flickering eyelashes of the Duchess of the Kingdom, and it seemed that she was very afraid of the pain, and she was worried about the next wave coming.
She didn't stick the needle in, but slowly approached the person lying on the bed with her eyes closed: "By the way, Duchess Guo, it is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart, and it is estimated that the pain in this finger is worse than that in the feet!" You've got to hold back! ”
Then, unexpectedly, I saw that the Duchess couldn't help but open her eyes anymore, and her face turned yellow to white.
And as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the silver needle in Shao Xunmei's hand, which was comparable to the sharp tip of the small silver scissors, and the cold light was so cold and ruthless in her eyes. It made her almost gasp.
Shao Xunmei looked at the Duchess of the Kingdom with a beautiful smile on her face, but there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes: "This princess still thinks that the Duchess of the Kingdom can endure it until the end without opening her eyes!" ”
Duchess Guo stared at Shao Xunmei's face and said coldly: "You did it on purpose!" "Not a doubt, but a certainty!
Shao Xunmei's eyes were full of innocence and seriousness: "This lady, you did faint because of anger just now, you can't doubt my medical ethics!" Look at it, you just got two injections of bloodletting, didn't you wake up, and you were even more energetic to talk to this princess! ”
As soon as the words fell, the three-edged needle in Shao Xunmei's hand suddenly pierced her index finger! The Duchess was coldly pricked, and immediately her eyebrows, nose and facial features wrinkled in pain, and even her body moved a little.
And Shao Xunmei's silver needle was pierced and didn't pull it out immediately, so she looked at the miserable Duchess Guo, "Duchess Guo, when I first entered the palace to check Your Majesty's pulse, I was once carried by the palace people to a haunted palace in the inner courtyard of the palace, and the door was locked. But fortunately, Grandpa Su, who was next to His Majesty, quickly found me and sent me out of the palace. ”
"I always felt very abrupt at the time, and I didn't understand who this princess had a grudge against for a long time, and wanted to scare me like this. I didn't know until today that it was Concubine Mu in the palace, that is, the younger sister of your Zhenguo Gong! ”
Duchess Guo's face changed greatly, it was not at all white that could be described, her eyes were panicked, and she immediately denied it: "The old body doesn't know what you're talking about!" ”
Shao Xunmei didn't look at her, and sneered: "Your virtue is also worthy of relying on the old and selling the old in front of this princess?" Just because I saved the princess who was about to have a miscarriage at the banquet and blocked the way for you to marry that Tao Zhuzhu to your Guogong Mansion as the princess, this princess was retaliated against by you, isn't it? Also, at that time, the pastries eaten by the princess at the banquet were added with a little peach blossom, which was nothing for ordinary people, but it was naturally untouchable for the princess who habitually had miscarriages, and the purse she was wearing at that time still contained the seeds of the moon flower that was said to have been sent to the family temple. It's no wonder if you don't have a miscarriage! Alas, I wondered, why did Concubine Mu collude with you and give peach blossoms to the princess, doesn't she want the Guogong Mansion to be added as soon as possible? Do you still have to give birth to the women of your Ningbohou Mansion? ”
The Duchess of Guo was shocked, looked at Shao Xunmei in surprise, and couldn't say a word. Even the pain in her fingers was forgotten.
Shao Xunmei pulled out the Mitsubishi needle, because the needle tip had stayed on her fingertip for too long. As soon as it was pulled out, the blood stabbed out before it could be squeezed out, and even jumped up a few times.
The Duchess only felt that the pain had come again, and it was even more aggravated, and she couldn't help but pull it back and rub it a few times to relieve the pain.
Shao Xunmei bled her softly, but her words were so cold and sarcastic: "Of course, this is all a dirty matter of your Guogong Mansion, and it has nothing to do with this princess." However, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, because I wasn't intimidated in the palace and couldn't get out of this evil breath in your hearts, and today I have repeatedly targeted this princess! ”
Indeed, when she heard Zhao Qingliu behind the screen say expressionlessly that her mother-in-law wanted the daughter of her maiden family, Ning Bohou Mansion, to be the princess or concubine from her daughter's womb, the things she had been thinking about were suddenly clear.
The so-called aunt framed Zhao Qingliu for habitual miscarriage, even if Zhao Qingliu could not have children and was forced to divorce his wife by the Duchess of the State, this aunt could not be qualified to conceive Mu Shizi's son-in-law. It turned out that their abacus turned out to be Tao Zhuzhu!
And judging from today's series of events, the Duchess of this country has already thought about it, the child in Zhao Qingliu's belly cannot be saved, and it will even be the result of one corpse and two lives. Even if the stimulation can't succeed today, and Zhao Qingliu escapes the catastrophe, then when she gives birth, it will be this result.
This, the Duchess of the Kingdom, really has no humanity! (To be continued.) )
