Chapter 15: Corpse Poison
Chen Anran and Sai Jinhua worked together to lift Chen Ang to the bed.
"What's wrong with my father," Chen Anran asked with a concerned expression.
"When your father was tracking down an enemy three months ago, he entered a monastery with incense burning in it, and after inspecting it for a while, your father felt dizzy, so he retreated, and used his internal strength to protect his heart, and as soon as he left the monastery, he fainted, but fortunately, your eldest brother arrived in time to bring your father back to the army, and also blocked the news from the outside world. Your eldest brother immediately sent someone to inform your fifth brother and sixth brother to go to the army to treat your father, and your fifth brother and sixth brother diagnosed that his father was poisoned by the poison gas in the monastery, but it is not clear what the specific poison gas is. After three days of sleepless acupuncture, the poisonous gas was finally introduced into the dantian from the internal organs, and temporarily sealed in the dantian, and the person woke up, but he had an attack every ten days, and woke up after being in a coma for half an hour. At the same time as your father's accident, the food in the army was running out, and the food and grass from the court had not been delivered for a long time. Your eldest brother and second brother were shocked to find that there was a change in the court, so they had no choice but to let your third brother and fourth brother transport some grain and grass over for emergency purposes, which is also the original intention of letting your third brother and fourth brother open a rice shop, mainly to ensure that the army has food to eat at a critical moment, so that they will not go into battle hungry to kill the enemy. Ansaihua told Chen Anran the general story of the incident.
"Your fifth brother and sixth brother want to take your father to Canghai Mountain to ask their master to treat your father after the New Year. I hope your father is safe and sound during this time. Arcela continued.
"Father will be fine. Mother, when you are not at home, there are bad people in the house who want to kidnap the child, fortunately the guards came in time and scared the bad people away, but fortunately, after the child was frightened, the brain recovered some, sometimes sober, sometimes confused, I am awake now. Chen Anran took the opportunity to tell Ansai about his situation.
"Well-behaved, your mind is clear?! What a joy! Your fifth brother and sixth brother have tried their best to make you better, and now it is a blessing in disguise but it has improved, what a fate! Ran'er's good luck has come! I'm so happy for my mother! "Axella tears of joy, her daughter is about to die, if her brain returns to normal, she can marry a good son.
"A few days ago, the child was reading an ancient book, the book talked about corpse poison, which is a kind of thousand-year-old corpse sealed in the ground ten zhang deep, after being dug up the tomb to take out the corpse has turned into blue blood, plus strychnine together to dry into powder, called corpse poison, put into wax or incense raw materials, made into poisonous incense or poisonous candles, burning emitting colorless and odorless poisonous gas, ordinary people as long as inhaling half a penny weight such powder will be poisoned within half an hour. When this poison occurs, the poisoned person will have purple spots the size of soybean grains on the central acupoint and both temples. Just now, I saw purple spots on my father's three locations, and combined with the poisoning, it can be determined that my father was poisoned by corpses. Chen Anran explained to Ansaihua the formation of corpse poison and the symptoms of the attack. Ansaihua's eyes lit up, grabbed her daughter's hand, and asked excitedly
"Do you know how to detoxify?" Chen Anran pretended to meditate, "The book says that the blood of a chicken from that year is steamed with a century-old ginseng, three times a day, for three days.
At the same time, soak in a medicinal bath with hot water, put sunflower flowers, ghost needle grass, half a lotus, licorice, and shoot dry in the hot water.
Toxic gases evaporate from the body with sweat. After three days, take mung bean soup for another month to detoxify.
‘’
"Your father is saved, saved, God bless my Chen Mansion! Wait for your father to wake up and detoxify him! ”
"Yes, mother." Axella immediately arranged for people to prepare drugs for the general to detoxify, which were not difficult to find.
After the arrangements were made, Chen Anran's mother and daughter stayed by the general's side, waiting for him to wake up. Chen Anran asked his mother
"My father, eldest brother and second brother have all returned to Kyoto, who is guarding the western frontier?"
"It's the deputy general Guo Liang who is guarding, this person is resourceful, loyal to your father, and has been born and died with your father many times, and your father trusts him very much. Your father originally asked your eldest brother and second brother to stay in Western Xinjiang, but your eldest brother and second brother were not worried about your father, so they came back with him. ”
"Will my mother's journey back to Kyoto be unimpeded?"
"I don't know who leaked the news, we encountered many attacks on the way back to Beijing, but fortunately, your brothers came back safely because of their clever calculations."
"Can my mother know who is behind it?" ’
"I don't know who it is yet, but your eldest brother has already sent someone to investigate."
"Mother, do we have our own intelligence officer, who is the one who arranges to secretly collect information in Kyoto and other places?"
"We don't have that!"
"Mother, now that the old emperor is old, the four princes all want to succeed to the throne, plus foreign countries are troubled, we can't get information in time without our own intelligence personnel, and we can't respond in a timely and accurate manner. For example, when my father was poisoned and attacked, we didn't know who our opponent was, so we were very passive. ”
"What Ran'er said makes sense, let's discuss it as a family after dinner in a while."
"Okay, mother, brothers will definitely be able to come up with a good way to deal with those bad guys!" Chen Anran said excitedly.
