Everything happens for a reason, including illness. Some so-called incurable diseases are just that people have not been able to accurately understand the cause of the disease, or lack sufficient effective medical means for the cause, and the top priority is to find out the cause first.

Lu Jinping promised to come to treat the strange illness of Lord Thorn Shi's wife, he is not an imperial doctor after all, even Imperial Doctor Zhang can't cure the disease, even if he can't cure it, it's not a shame. What's more, the main purpose of this trip is to find the Tianyan Heavenly Master through Princess Siyun, so as to find out the secret that may cause chaos in the golden land of the Tang Dynasty that worries him and Li Longji.

Lu Jinping didn't say much, walked to the side of the bed, and leaned over to look at Mrs. Cao. There was no sickness on his face, just an ordinary old woman of seventy or eighty years of age.

Lu Jinping took the wrist to diagnose the pulse, of course, he didn't study the pulse diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine, except for feeling the speed of the pulse and the strength and weakness, he couldn't feel anything more. He also couldn't find any cause from these things, but only because the diagnosis of TCM is a typical external feature of TCM, which is to give the patient a placebo. It's just a figurative meaning, showing that you're looking at a doctor with your heart.

After touching the pulse in his left hand, he took his right hand again to check the pulse. When he had finished, he asked the woman to stick out her tongue and look at it, but of course, he could not tell from the color of the tongue or the thickness of the coating of the tongue that it represented any disease, and this was just a pretense.

And the next thing is what Lu Jinping needs to focus on, which is to find out the cause of the disease.

He focused on asking Mrs. Cao about her previous illness history and family medical history. However, he was surprised to find that Mrs. Cao has always been in good health, and she has been well maintained, except for the occasional cold and cold, she has basically not had any serious illness since she was a child. She hasn't had any strange diseases, and she pays great attention to the maintenance of her body. Mrs. Cao has to know a lot of traditional Chinese medicine health care methods, and she also pays great attention to her diet.

Lu Jinping inquired about her family in detail, and learned that the family was also a big family, and it was also an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, and there were no strange diseases in the family, especially among his immediate family. I didn't have any serious illnesses.

At present, the possibility of genetic diseases is basically ruled out. Still, he needs to find a medical basis for this. He decided to do a DNA pathology test to see if there was a congenital disease such as a genetic mutation.

Lu Jinping collected a drop of Mrs. Cao's blood, because there is much more information in the blood than the mucosa in the mouth. At the same time, he also asked Mrs. Cao to provide urine and urine for the corresponding examination. These routine testing items for body fluids can be completed by his forensic examination box.

In the traditional scope of traditional Chinese medicine, it does not involve the extraction of the body's excrement and blood for observation, but when it comes to gastrointestinal diseases. Lang Zhong will still observe the patient's urine and stool. Therefore, the extraction of the second stool did not surprise the expectations of Imperial Doctor Zhang and Thorn Shi and others.

But Lu Jinping mentioned the blood, which made the two of them a little surprised. Because traditional Chinese medicine lacks the corresponding means to examine the blood itself. However, the more bizarre the treatment plan or means, the more hope can be given to the heart of the patient's family. Her wife's illness is already weird, and only strange means can be used to get the corresponding effect.

After extracting, Lu Jinping called the people around her, including her two children, and the personal maids around her, to inquire about the illness and physical condition one by one.

After inquiry, I understood. Mrs. Cao's two children are in good health and have not had any serious illnesses. Judging from the observation, there is no specificity, and the personal maids around him are also normal, and there is no mutation.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Lu Jinping still consulted Mrs. Cao and Assassin Shi for their opinions. The blood of Mrs. Cao's two children, her personal maid and her attendant was extracted, and he had to test them accordingly. Check them for some hidden disease that makes them contagious. These can be seen in the sample indicators that some deliberate changes can be revealed.

Next, Lu Jinping began to inspect the surrounding environment.

The inner house of the yamen where they lived was built by the imperial court, and this kind of official office has existed for many years. There is a proverb in the yamen, that is, "officials do not repair the yamen", that is, the court officials will not allocate money to repair the yamen house. Because of the iron-clad official of the yamen, the official left after a few years, and a new official came and repaired the white repair.

Officials focus on image projects, and few pay for the renovation of yamen houses that do not belong to them. Therefore, this yamen inner house has been a little dilapidated for decades, but it is still very strong and durable. And after inquiring and understanding the old scribe of the Yamen and others, I learned that before this, among the officials who had served as the assassin of Lingzhou, no one had ever had such a strange disease, or there had never been any strange disease, and it was the first time I had encountered such a terrible thing as Mrs. Cao.

Lu Jinping observed the old mansion one by one, and he found that there was a large water tank next to Mrs. Cao's bedroom. Moreover, it is still in the maid's room, which is a little strange. After asking, I found out that this Mrs. Cao was very careful about her diet, and even dug her own well to get water, which has been the case for many years.

This well was dug by Mr. Yin Yang at the location that most closely matched her birthdate. Strange to say, the water from this well is just enough for one person to drink, and the amount of water is not large or small.

Lu Jinping smiled, he really hadn't heard of eating to such an extent. When he was about to put the lid back in the room, it was already dark, and the house was already lit, and by the light of the light, he actually noticed that the water in the tank was slightly yellow.

Yellow is the most sensitive to him, because the wife of the king commander who was found out in the Bazhou exile camp before became a terrifying human wolf after taking the pale yellow pill given by the sarcoma Taoist and mutated.

After testing, the yellow pill contained a terrifying drug ingredient that mutated people. And now, a faint yellow color appeared in the water, and her head immediately stirred, could this be the reason? Could it be that this Mrs. Cao took the water from the well and grew old overnight?

But isn't that right? In the previous case, one was Mrs. Huang from Chunhualou in Tongzhou, who had an extremely strange body and quick movements after taking the Golden Diagram, and changed from an old woman who was staggering to a master of light skills, and her heart was vicious to the extreme. And the other is the wife of the king commander, who took the yellow pill, but turned into a human wolf, biting and eating the head of the human being.

Neither of these precedents has shown people aging in extreme circumstances overnight. At the same time, he recalled the medical materials he had read, and the bath salts did not seem to have the side effects of aging overnight.

Of course, the crux of the matter is whether Mrs. Cao's overnight aging is related to the previous two, and it is not possible to implicate the three things at once just because the well water is yellow.

But after all, this is an important clue, and Lu Jinping decided to test the water.

So, he took some water samples. Then he asked the maid to take herself to the well in the back garden, and after observing the surrounding situation, she also took a sample of the water in the well, the soil in the well and the surrounding soil, and tested it accordingly.

After extracting enough samples, Lu Jinping returned to his room, closed the door and let Ye Qingqing stay at the door, and began to inspect the samples one by one.

The inspection continued until late at night.

Although the inspection was over, Lu Jinping sat at the table in a daze and looked at the results on the LCD screen in a daze. After a long time, he packed up his things and pulled the door out without saying a word.

Ye Qingqing had been standing straight at the door, like a statue, looking around with his bright eyes.

Although no one else was allowed to come in and disturb this mansion, Ye Qingqing was still very vigilant. Hearing a voice behind him, he turned around: "This time it's the longest inspection you've ever examined, is it tricky?" ”

"Yes, I've found some clues, and I've been thinking about what to do. It's not very good so far, but the general direction is there."

"That's great, what's the matter with that poor lady? Why did you grow old so much overnight? And the strangest thing is that his hair has not changed, it is still dark and green, from the hair, it looks like he is in his twenties, but his face looks like he is seventy or eighty years old, which is really scary. If you can think of a way to save her, it will be her creation. ”

"yes, that's what I thought too. However, his illness was very tricky, and I couldn't do anything good for a while. But, give me some more time, and you can go and call them up, and I'm going to tell them what to do about it? ”

During Lu Jinping's inspection, Assassin Shi and Imperial Doctor Zhang waited for news in the flower hall outside the courtyard, waiting quietly from midnight until midnight. Because this is probably their last hope, both of them are nervous and anxious, and finally saw the courtyard door open, Lu Jinping's personal maid walked out with a smile on her face, and the two couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, and hurriedly greeted the door.

"The prince invited you in, and said that he had something to discuss with you."

"Yes, thank you, girl." The two hurriedly gave up their hands, and the assassin couldn't help it, so he cautiously asked again: "Did the prince say whether he had found a way?" ”

Ye Qingqing pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Master Thorn Shi don't need to worry, our lord has spent a lot of time on your wife's illness, and I have never seen him take so long to do the Dao test, I just said, I already have some eyebrows, but I need to discuss it with you, you two hurry in."
