Chapter 042: Catching Cicadas
After Lu finished drinking the medicine, Tong Xue hurriedly handed over a stack of candied fruit.
After using up the medicine, Tong Xue and Lu went to visit Tong Shuang in the home remedies.
Tong Shuang's breath was gentle, but there was no sign of waking up.
Lu looked at He Yongchan with a worried expression and said, "I don't know when Xiuxiu will wake up?" ”
"Xiuxiu's pulse is stable, although there are still some weak diseases, as long as you take medicine to recuperate, you will definitely be able to recover, as for when to wake up" He Yongchan said this, paused slightly, according to Tong Shuang's pulse, she should have woken up, but she was obviously in a coma.
She is also a little unclear about this phenomenon.
"I'm not sure. Why don't you invite the imperial doctor in the palace or Doctor Mo from the Rejuvenation Hall to take a look. ”
Lu nodded, and the two sat with Tong Shuang for more than an hour, because the eldest princess of Yuanjiang planned to recruit a son-in-law after her eighteenth birthday, and set the location at Lu's racecourse, so General Weiyuan's wife has been quite busy in recent days.
General Weiyuan's wife learned that Tong Shuang's life was fine, but she didn't know when she would wake up, and she let go of most of her heart, so she asked her henchman to go back to her house, moved all the precious medicinal materials used in the warehouse, and comforted Lu again, and then left to leave.
"If you need help, although my sister sent a girl to report a letter, although my legs and feet are a little inconvenient, it is not a problem to prescribe a prescription to boil medicine." Before leaving, He Yongchan took Lu's hand and said.
"Well, Sister He should also pay attention to her body and get better sooner."
The Lu family sent General Weiyuan's wife to the gate of the Hou Mansion, and then returned with Tong Xue.
"Does Ah Jin have something to say to his mother?" On the way back to the Rising Sun Hall, Lu looked down at Tong Xuedao.
In the morning, Tong Xue brought the bowl of medicine to Lu's, and she noticed that something was wrong when she drank the first sip, but she still cooperated with Tong Xue to finish drinking, thinking in her heart that the reason why Tong Xue did this should have her reasons.
Since her serious illness, Tong Xue's whole person has changed a lot, and the Lu family gradually no longer regards her as a child.
Tong Xue nodded, helped Lu Shi to sit down in a pavilion in the garden outside the second gate, and ordered Cai Lan to take out a handkerchief containing the medicine residue, unfold it, and spread it in front of Lu Shi.
Lu's face was surprised, "This is?" ”
Tong Xue motioned to Cai Lan to briefly describe the matter.
After Cai Lan finished speaking, she continued: "The mother's fetus is extremely important, so the son played a little more tricks, let Cai Lan take out some of the medicine residue, went out of the house to find a few Lang Zhong, and identified the ingredients in the medicine, and the three Lang Zhong who were looking for all believed that there was an extra morning glory in this fetal medicine. ”
When Lu Shi heard this, his expression became solemn.
Although she didn't know what morning glory was, it was obviously not a good thing that there was an inexplicable extra herb in the fetal pill.
And its intentions are self-evident.
Cai Lan carefully asked Lang Zhong what the effect of this morning glory was.
Morning glory is the seed of morning glory, which is crushed and mixed in a dry medicine, and is not easy to find.
"Treatise on Medicinal Properties" says that it is cold, bitter and poisonous; The main qi removes wind and poison, facilitates urination, removes water vapor and swelling; Abortion.
Sure enough, it was the idea of beating the child in her belly again!
Lu sneered when she heard this, her right hand couldn't help but stroke her lower abdomen, she had nothing in her stomach over the years, and her life was going well, who knew that once she was pregnant, all kinds of charms and spirits also emerged in endlessly, and some people were really used to living a comfortable life, so they forgot how she used to "rampant" in Shengjing!
Seeing the angry expression on Lu's face, Tong Xue was afraid that she would act impulsively, so she came to the Rising Sun Hall with Pearl in the morning, bumped into two girls chewing the root of their tongues and Jade rushed to the middle of the way, and temporarily released the two little girls for Pearl, and said that they would be punished when they were free.
Lu had already anticipated who was doing the trick, but she didn't expect that she would involve the two most powerful girls around her.
Regardless of whether it was Pearl or Jade who had different intentions and were encouraged to commit this betrayal act, their goal was probably to stare at Tong Jingxuan's aunt position.
The difficulty of her pregnancy is full of many variables, if it is really miscarried, it is very likely to cause the whole body to be severely damaged, and she will not be able to get pregnant in the future, so these two girls, no matter which one they are, may be arranged by her to make a room for Tong Jingxuan in the name of the Hou Mansion.
"Ah Jin thinks there is a problem with jade or pearl?" In the absence of conclusive evidence, Lu was reluctant to arbitrarily inform Tong Xue of his speculation.
At the beginning, Tong Xue was indeed suspicious of pearls, because she understood medical science, and her mind was delicate and delicate, this kind of secretly adding a medicine to the medicine, causing the illusion of an unstable fetal position and slippery fetus, no matter how you look at it, it is very similar to what pearls do, on the other hand, jade, is also a big girl next to Lu's side, no matter her appearance or talent, she is much inferior to pearls, and it is much less eye-catching.
However, first Lu Fang's death, then the rumors that were deliberately unfavorable to the pearl in the mansion, and the clear face of the pearl in the dream made Tong Xue suspicious.
All the fingers are pointed at the same person, and it is as if they are exculpating the other.
As for who is hiding behind the scenes, being the cicada catcher, fantasizing about taking advantage of the fisherman, Tong Xue has a vague conjecture in his heart, but he has not yet found a trace of evidence.
However, this is not something that Emerald can do alone. Behind her, there must be someone to help her!
"I think it's jade." She stared into Lu's eyes and said with a determined gaze.
"Ah Jin's intuition is very accurate, let my mother do the rest." Lu took Tong Xue's hand and got up, and the mother and daughter returned to the Rising Sun Hall together.
Lu Shi opened the warehouse first and asked Pearl to check the medicine bag he bought yesterday, and there was anything abnormal.
When sending off the guests just now, Lu didn't bring two big girls with him, so there were still some doubts on Pearl's face, and he suddenly had to check the medicine bag for some reason.
However, she didn't say anything, so she opened the medicine bag and looked at it.
Immediately after, her complexion changed suddenly.
"Ma'am, these herbs have been fortified with morning glory! Morning glory is a cold thing, pregnant women should not use it! Pearl has always been gentle and generous, but at this moment her voice is unusually sharp, which shows her eagerness.
Lu nodded and asked her, "Can you detect anyone suspicious?" ”
"How does Madame feel? Do you feel unwell? Pearl stared at Lu's stomach nervously.
Lu shook his head, "Fortunately, Ah Jin found out early, and I didn't drink the herbs with morning glory added to them. ”
But it was not said how Tong Xue discovered the abnormality of this medicine.
Hearing this, Pearl stroked her chest busily, as if a heart had just been put to fruition.
"Who do you think gave this drug?" Lu asked again gently.
Pearl looked stunned for a while, Fang shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”
Subsequently, like Tong Xue, she mentioned that she accidentally bumped into two little girls chewing the root of their tongues in the morning.
"Jade, what do you think?" Lu suddenly opened his mouth and asked Jade, who had been hanging his head to his side and was silent.
