27. Poisoned

Rong Xuantang was no longer able to live in it, and the injured old lady was carried by the servants to Chunhui Courtyard, which was not far away.

At this moment, the most chaotic period has passed, Xiaotang stood under the porch and talked to a small servant, Mama Zhou held a small fan to cook medicine by the stove, the old lady leaned on the soft pillow with a solemn expression, and Ruan Biyun and her maidservant Luanyin were serving diligently.

Seeing Ruan Qingzhi enter the door, Ruan Biyun was immediately overjoyed: "Sister, you're here!" Mother was worried that you would be too timid to go out late at night; But I know you're going to miss your grandmother, and you'll come over no matter how scared you are! ”

After greeting the old lady, Ruan Qingzhi sat down on the edge of the bed, with an indifferent expression: "I live in a remote area and don't hear any movement, if it weren't for my mother and father each bringing five or six people to tell me that my grandmother is not manpower here, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing happened." ”

Mama Zhou stopped the small fan in her hand and looked up in surprise.

Ruan Biyun hurriedly smiled: "It's not a matter of insufficient manpower. Mama Zhou and Xiaotang are very thoughtful in their work, and they will never be too busy. It's just that I think my grandmother was frightened tonight, and her heart was uneasy after all. At this time, we as juniors should be by our side, not to help, but to relax our grandmother's heart. ”

"Or do you think about it!" Ruan Qingzhi was sincerely admired.

Ruan Biyun lowered her head and smiled shyly, reached out and handed over a handful of cooked chestnuts: "You can also help peel a few, grandmother likes to eat them very much." ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't say much and took it with a smile. The two sisters peeled chestnuts on their heads, and rushed to feed them to the old lady like a competition, and the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.

After a while, Mama Zhou came over to feed the old lady and drank the medicine, and said with a smile: "Two young ladies, you can't feed it anymore." The old lady is no younger than you, and if you eat too much, you will accumulate food! ”

Hearing this, Ruan Qingzhi put the remaining chestnuts back on the table.

Ruan Biyun raised her head and smiled: "My sister has always been weak, so it's better to go to the soft couch outside to rest first, and then come back to change me at dawn." ”

Ruan Qingzhi was not humble and immediately stood up: "It's okay." If you are tired, feel free to wake me up. ”

Ruan Biyun agreed, and got up to see her off with a smile, but heard Luan Yin exclaim next to her: "Old lady! ”

When everyone looked at the bed in shock, they found that the old lady, who was quite energetic just now, suddenly turned purple, her eyes were round, her mouth was wide open, her throat made a clicking sound, and her hands were scratching on the mattress, and her appearance was very terrifying.

Ruan Bijun subconsciously took two steps back.

"Doctor, doctor!" Xiaotang screamed and rushed out.

Mama Zhou rushed forward, quickly patted the old lady twice on the chest, and asked urgently, "What do you feel uncomfortable?" Is it out of breath? Or does it hurt somewhere? ”

The old lady didn't give her any response, but the blue-black on her face became deeper and darker.

This was a change that no one expected, and even the well-informed Mama Zhou panicked.

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a moment and walked forward quickly: "Mama, come and help me turn over my grandmother and find a way to let her spit out the medicine she drank earlier!" ”

Mama Zhou subconsciously obeyed, and the two of them cooperated with a lot of effort to turn the old lady over.

There was no need to induce vomiting, the old lady lay on the edge of the bed and vomited the medicine cleanly, and her face finally became normal.

Mama Zhou curtsied like rain and curtsied Ruan Qingzhi: "It's a shame that the eldest lady is smart, otherwise ......"

Ruan Qingzhi stretched out his hand and dragged her up, and said hurriedly: "It's not time to talk about this yet!" Mama Zhou, is there cow's milk or goat's milk in the house? If you have one, take some and give it to your grandmother, and if you don't, use egg whites! It must be fast, grandmother is afraid that she has been poisoned! ”

Mama Zhou staggered two steps to stand firmly, quickly turned around and ran out to get goat's milk and poured it into the old lady.

Ruan Qingzhi instructed Xianyun to keep an eye on the old lady, in case no one noticed when she was out of breath.

Mama Zhou asked anxiously: "Miss, what kind of poison is in the old lady?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi stepped forward to check the old lady's pulse, carefully looked at the eyelids and tongue coatings, and said helplessly: "I can't be sure just by looking at the symptoms." You go and see if the medicine residue is still there, and the doctor will come in a while, maybe you will have to ask. ”

Mama Zhou hurriedly ran again.

Ruan Biyun only calmed down a little at this moment, and hurriedly asked, "Does my sister actually understand medical skills?" The old lady will be fine, right? ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked at her and shook his head: "I don't know medical skills. All I know is that if you clean up the bad things, you will be safe. ”

Ruan Biyun looked at the old lady worriedly: "But ......"

At this time, Mama Zhou ran back quickly, her face was pale, and her steps staggered: "Miss, the medicine residue is gone!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi nodded and stretched out his hand to support her: "It's right if you don't see it." I'll write a prescription for you to cook the medicine, and when the doctor comes, if it doesn't work, you can listen to the doctor. ”

Mama Zhou hurriedly pulled her to the table to find a pen and paper, Ruan Qingzhi put down the pen and quickly finished writing and stuffed it to her.

There are some medicinal herbs stored in the house. Ruan Qingzhi's licorice, honeysuckle, coptis chinensis, and parsnip are not rare things, and they can be found ready-made, and the little ones quickly sent them over.

Mama Zhou didn't dare to let others help, so she washed it with her own hands and boiled it on the stove, and then she had to ask Ruan Qingzhi in the air: "Does the eldest lady see what kind of poison it is now?" If the residue is not found, will there be a mistake? ”

Ruan Qingzhi sat down beside the old lady, shook his head and said, "Some poisons can be effective in very small doses, and you can't tell anything just by the color and smell and the little bit of medicinal juice left at the bottom of the bowl. I wasn't even sure it was poisoned – but now that the dregs have disappeared, it's safe to assume that someone has poisoned me. ”

Mama Zhou stood up suddenly, and Ruan Biyun's master and servant also changed their faces at the same time. Xiaotang was dragging the doctor in, and when he heard this, his feet fell to the ground as soon as he softened.

Ruan Qingzhi got up to greet the doctor, told the old lady about the symptoms in a few words, and showed him the prescription he had written, and said humbly: "Grandmother is critically ill, I can only drive the ducks to the shelves, and prescribe an ordinary prescription for clearing fire and detoxifying. ”

The doctor didn't look at the prescription, stepped forward to check the old lady's pulse, and sneered: "The eldest lady has a lot of ability, and she can open a medical hall to sit for consultation!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi immediately turned cold when he heard this: "If you think my prescription is not good, just open a better one yourself, what is the reason for losing your temper without looking at it?" Is there a competition among peers? I'm the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, are you still afraid that I won't be able to go out to rob your business? ”

The doctor's face was flushed from her reprimand, and he snorted and gasped for a while before reluctantly unfolding the prescription.

After a cursory glance, he hesitantly raised his head to look at Ruan Qingzhi, his expression becoming a little strange.
