Chapter 18: Laryngeal paralysis
The capital is not only prosperous and luxurious, but also spreads news faster than ordinary places.
The whole story of Bai Lian's framing of Qi Miao soon spread in the capital.
When it comes to White Lotus, most people shake their heads and regret it, but it's a pity that such a beautiful girl has such a deep scheming, it's really terrible.
Alignment is wonderful, and people are sympathetic.
The injured White Lotus died in pain every day, and she didn't know these rumors.
However, deep in her heart, she was very proud and regained Qi Zhengzhi's love.
Yao inadvertently learned about these rumors from other mothers-in-law, and immediately went to Ma to complain about his grievances.
"Crying? Now that you know to cry, don't you think it's late?
This is all your own fate, don't come to me, you don't have a lot of skills, just cover those people's mouths. Ma not only didn't comfort her, but scolded her.
The reason why Ma was so angry was because the rumors were not only bad for Bai Lian, but she was also implicated.
Some people even found out about the incident of sending Qi Miao to Yanguan eight years ago, and counted her grandmother who was too mean and ruthless, greedy for life and afraid of death.
Some people also said that sending Qi Miao away was to make room for Bai Lian, and scolded her for being extremely confused.
……
There are countless ugly words like this, and Ma wants to kill people in anger.
I was going to go out as a guest today, but now I don't have the face to go, for fear of being drowned by someone else's spit.
She was angry, and she was about to go to Yao's to settle accounts.
Yao sent it to the door, and she wanted to scold it well.
Ma and Yao's dog-eat-dog tossed, Qi Miao was leisurely.
She looked at her rough skin and yellowed hair in the mirror, sighed, and then wrote a list and asked Xia Shuang to help her buy some things back.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and she is no exception, she wants to be more beautiful, at least she can be less affected by other people's strange eyes.
It just so happened that there were a lot of beauty recipes in the strange memories that didn't belong to her in her mind, so she tried them.
A few days passed like this.
Qi Miao got up early to greet the Shen family.
There was a look of worry between Shen's eyebrows, and he said, "Miao'er, after breakfast, my mother will take you to Mrs. Li's house." ”
"Who is Mrs. Lee?" Qi Miao asked curiously.
"Yushi Li's wife, she is a good sister to her mother, I heard from Yun's mother yesterday that she was sick a few days ago, I want to take you to visit Li Mansion together, would you like to go?" Shen explained, looking forward to her answer.
Miao'er has been away from Beijing for eight years, and no one may remember her, so I have to look for opportunities to take her out for a walk.
In addition to visiting the sick, Shen had other plans in his heart.
"Where is the Li Mansion, not far from our Anning Hou Mansion?" Qi Miao asked.
"On Zhun An Road in the south of the city, it is about half an hour away." Shen responded with a smile.
"I'll go with my mother." Qi Miao responded obediently.
After being reminded by her mother, she was shocked to realize that she and the Li family were actually familiar.
It's just that I'm not sure if the current Mrs. Li is the original partner or the stepfamily.
Also, is Li Gongzi okay now?
Thinking of Li Gongzi, she walked away for a while.
After breakfast, Qi Miao went to Li's house with the Shen family to visit the patient.
The carriage drove smoothly.
Half an hour later, Qi Miao and Shen arrived at the Li Mansion.
The carriage stopped at the main entrance.
Mama Zhang, the housekeeper beside Mrs. Li, was already waiting in front of the house gate, and hurriedly stepped down the steps to meet her.
"Third Lady Qi, Fifth Miss." Zhang's mother greeted with a smile.
And took a few more glances at Qi Miao.
Yesterday afternoon, Shen ordered someone to send a post over, saying that he would bring Qi Miao to visit the patient today.
Therefore, Zhang's mother can recognize that it is Qi Miao.
Thinking about the recent rumors outside, Zhang's mother was a little distressed about Qi Miao.
Shen and Mrs. Li have a good relationship and are like sisters, and Zhang's mother's heart is naturally towards Qi Miao.
"Mother Zhang, is Mrs. Li better?" Shen was worried about Mrs. Li's condition.
"Alas, Madame is in a lot of pain every day, and the bedroom is uneasy, and she hasn't slept for several days." At the mention of her condition, the smile on Zhang's mother's face faded and her brows furrowed.
"It's not just an ordinary throat discomfort, how can it be so serious?" The expression on Shen's face became solemn.
"Our family adults and young masters have invited several doctors, I don't know how much medicine I have taken, but it has not improved, and the young master is so anxious that he burst into tears...... "Zhang's mother sighed and whispered about Mrs. Li's illness.
In her previous life, Qi Miao was grounded by her father and did not come to the Li family with her mother to visit the patient, so many things were not clear.
Now she can conclude from Zhang's mother's words that this Mrs. Li is the original match.
Because Li Yushi's step-room is the Xu family, she is Xu Che's aunt, and she has been to the Li Mansion many times before.
She has seen the housekeeper's mother beside Xu, not Zhang's mother.
And Li Dashao will not shed tears for the Xu family.
I remember hearing Xu's mother say in my previous life that Lord Li's original wife died of illness, and it happened that the widowed Xu married the past as a stepfamily.
This family affair seems to have been arranged by Xu's mother.
Could it be that Mrs. Li is because of this throat paralysis......
If this is the case, she must find a way to save Mrs. Li, and maybe something will change.
A few people entered the inner courtyard as they spoke.
In the courtyard, the branches of a densely foliage osmanthus tree are adorned with milky white osmanthus flowers, like stars in the sky.
The nose is full of sweet and greasy aroma.
"Third Mrs. Qi and Fifth Miss, please." Zhang's mother personally opened the door curtain, and her voice was gentle.
Shen and Qi Miao stepped into the inner room.
There was a faint smell of medicine in the house......
Qi Miao, who had never liked the smell of medicine, actually sniffed it greedily.
It smells so good!
The inexplicable familiarity and intimacy made her secretly frightened.
It seems that this is a feeling from a strange memory.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Shen couldn't hold back his exclamation.
Qi Miao, who was slightly distracted, hurriedly looked over.
She was so frightened that her face changed.
On the kang was a woman dressed in a fuchsia robe, her face swollen like a basin, her facial features were squeezed out of shape, and her neck was swollen.
The sound of breathing was rough and rapid, as if the next moment the sound of breathing would stop.
The most strange thing for her was that the woman was not sitting on the kang or lying on the kang, but leaning her back against the back of a maid, her expression irritated and painful.
The woman was none other than Li Yushi's wife, Zhang.
When Mrs. Li saw Shen, her eyes turned red, and she said softly in a dumb voice, "My sister is here, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time, it's good to see my sister again before leaving." ”
In just two sentences, she said with great effort.
The voice is also very light and very light, and you have to listen carefully to hear it clearly.
After speaking, the panting became more rapid.
Shen burst into tears and shook Mrs. Li's hand tightly, "Sister, don't say stupid things, but it's a minor illness, it's absolutely fine, let's go find other doctors to take a look." ”
comforted Mrs. Li in his mouth, but he was also worried in his heart.
I've never seen anyone with a sore throat that would swell their face like this.
"It's useless, I know it in my heart." Mrs. Li shook her head in disappointment.
Maybe because the movement was a little bigger, I groaned in pain.
Qi Miao furrowed her brows, walked up to Zhang's mother, and asked in a low voice, "Zhang's mother, does Madam have other symptoms besides the swelling of her face and neck?" ”
Zhang's mother thought for a moment and replied, "Madame's throat is swollen, and she can't even drink water, let alone eat, and she also has a lot of mouth sores...... Madame has always been able to bear the pain, but this time it really hurts so badly that she can't even lie down to sleep......"
The voice was a little choked.
"Mom, don't worry." Qi Miao nodded lightly and comforted.
She walked quickly to Mrs. Li and said softly, "Madam, can you give me your hand?" ”
"Is this Miao'er?" Mrs. Li looked at her and said in a dumb voice.
Shen nodded hurriedly and said yes.
Mrs. Li wanted to say a few more words, but the pain in her throat was like being slashed by a knife, and she was powerless to speak.
She didn't know what Qi Miao wanted to do, but she still handed her hand to Qi Miao.
"Miao'er, what are you?" Shen was also puzzled.
Qi Miao smiled slightly, did not explain, but gently rolled up her sleeves, reached out on Mrs. Li's wrist, and began to check the pulse.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was serious and serious.
The pulse was very weak, and he was really sick.
It's just that this disease is not difficult to treat, why did it become like this?
After checking the pulse, she asked Mrs. Li to open her mouth again.
Mrs. Lee has patches of sores in her mouth (mouth sores, which are very painful...... ), red tongue.
Shen's eyes were a little erratic when he looked at his daughter.
When will Miao'er see a doctor?
But she really looks like that.
Qi Miao looked at Zhang's mother and asked, "Zhang's mother, I don't know what medicine Madame used?" ”
"Take the prescription ......." Mrs. Li waved weakly at Zhang's mother.
She didn't believe that Qi Miao could heal.
Asking Zhang's mother to take the prescription to Qi Miao was out of courtesy.
Of course, Qi Miao can tell the reason after reading the prescription, that's another matter.
Zhang's mother quickly brought over the prescription prescribed by the previous doctor.
"There's Mama Lao." Qi Miao took the prescription.
All the prescriptions are similar, nothing more than skullcap, coptis, gardenia, cork and other bitter cold medicines.
Mrs. Li was originally a yin deficiency physique, but after she got sick, she took these bitter cold medicines every day, and now the lower scorching cold is like an ice cave, and the upper scorching is like a fire.
There are two heavens of ice and fire in the body, and no matter how good the body is, it can't stand such suffering......
No wonder Mrs. Li died of a small throat paralysis in her previous life.
"Madam, the eldest young master and Imperial Doctor Sun are here." When Qi Miao wanted to return the prescription to Zhang's mother, a little maid came in to report.
Li Gongzi Li Qingyuan is here!
Qi Miao hurriedly looked at the door.
