Chapter 63: The Antidote
As soon as Guo Shi heard about the matter related to the three princes, he tried to hold back his tears and asked softly: "The third prince is in the imperial city, how are you doing?" It's been a little cold lately, and presumably he won't come to Jiangnan again. I wonder if he will come back next year to repair the bridge? ”
Li'er cares about the third son very much, Guo knows Li'er's thoughts, and this is a question for his own daughter.
Qin Yi also knew Guo's thoughts, and said a few words euphemistically, indicating his attitude.
"I heard Brother Shi say that after the third prince returned to the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs who used to take care of him by his side were all replaced by the emperor. The third prince can't leave the palace easily, and he shouldn't be able to come to Jiayu Mansion in the recent days. The three sons are all adults, and in a few days, the emperor may let the third prince get married. ”
The third son is about to get married, and Li'er's heart for the third son can only be hidden in her heart.
Guo nodded knowingly, she understood what she said. For some reason, Guo suddenly felt a lot of pain in her heart, as if someone had poked her heart with a needle, and she was dripping blood at this moment.
I couldn't see the wound, I couldn't see the blood, but the pain was real.
Guo Shi persuaded himself in his heart for a while, before he could be regarded as making his mood better, he looked at Qin Yi with warm eyes, and said softly:
"When the male is married, the third son is the prince, and he has to start a family earlier. He is Li'er's life-saving benefactor, and the medical book he gave to Li'er has many benefits for Li'er to successfully pass the assessment. If possible, let's prepare a gift and ask Brother Shi to help us give it to the third son. ”
Qin Yi helped Guo fold the quilt, still hugging Guo's presence, smiling and agreeing:
"Okay."
As long as Li'er's mother understands it, there are some things that Li'er's mother will tell her daughter more appropriately than he, a father, to tell her daughter.
Qin Yi thought of it? Li'er has read the medical book that the third son gave her? Now I also help out in the pharmacy. And when Brother Shi came to the house, he also told him something? Maybe Li'er can help. Just tell Guo about it:
“…… The pill? Did the third prince sneak into his eldest brother's mansion after his eldest brother had an accident? Found. He didn't show it to any of the imperial doctors in the palace, nor did he show it to the female doctor Zhang Manjing. But does he believe Li'er? So let Brother Bai bring it? Show us Li'er. ”
Guo is very understanding, the third prince trusts her daughter Li'er, so she lets people show it to Li'er. That pill is poisonous, what's going on? Li'er also told her that he had heard it.
Li'er said? I don't know where her Uncle Shi got it, that poison pill. I can see that the pill was made a few years ago......"
Qin Yi listened to what Guo said and said truthfully: "It seems? Brother Shi is not wrong, let's study medicine in Li'er? It's quite talented. ”
"That's for sure." Guo Shi felt a special sense of accomplishment when he thought that his daughter was so promising? In front of Qin Yi, he praised Li'er:
"Official? You don't know? Even Brother Hu said? Our Li'er is helping out in his pharmacy, better than any of his apprentices. She doesn't need anyone to teach her, she can help him clean up the drugs in the cabinet. It's not like some of his disciples, who have been going for a month, and they can't help much. ”
Qin Yi looked pleased, "Li'er is up to you, smart." ”
"Don't they all say that daughters follow their fathers?" Although Guo was very happy in his heart, he still didn't forget and praised Li'er's father.
Qin Yi's eyes showed irrepressible joy, whoever praised him was not as good as his lady praising him. At least, what the lady said was true.
Thinking that the lady gave birth to a capable daughter for him, he didn't go to apprentice, so he went to answer the questions by himself and passed the assessment, Qin Yi's heart was very happy.
"Lady, I guess that the third prince must have some special reason for keeping that pill. Brother Shi said that he hoped that after Li'er became a female doctor, she could make an antidote that could cure Ziling's gallbladder poison. At that time, I am not afraid that anyone will use the Purple Feather Bile Poison Pill to hurt people. ”
Kwok thinks it's very reasonable.
In the early morning of the next day, when she got into the carriage and went to the pharmacy with Qin Li, Guo told Qin Li what she thought.
"Your father and I both think so, if you can make an antidote to the purple feather gall poison, how good would it be?"
Qin Li snickered, looked at Guo's family, and asked, "Mother, I'm afraid that Uncle Shi said this, right?" ”
"Yes, exactly." Guo squinted and smiled, and said:
"Your Uncle Shi believed you and told your father about this."
Qin Li pursed her lips and smiled.
When she went home last night, she heard Qinghe say that Master Shi had come to their house and asked people to send some fish, roast duck and even some fish. Thinking that it had been raining recently and that it was snowing on the mountains in the southeast, I brought some charcoal over to keep them warm.
Her father refused to accept it.
Uncle Shi said, "This is what the third prince meant. He came here to build a bridge and eat and live in the inn. Sometimes I went to the mountains to see the stones, and I received two taels of silver. The charcoal I sent was all from the third son. You must accept a piece of his heart. ”
When her father heard this, he had no choice but to take it.
Regarding what Guo Shi said to her, Qinghe also overheard a little bit, but it had nothing to do with pills.
Qinghe just told her:
"I heard the old man say, 'Don't hide it from Brother Shi, the moment you brought the third prince over, I thought that you came to me just to let me introduce wise men to you so that I could help you build the bridge. There are always other things besides those things. ’”
"As soon as Master Shi heard the old man say this, he immediately laughed, and then said, "You know, Brother Qin will definitely be able to see it. In fact, Brother Fool had no intention of hiding anything from Brother Qin, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity to mention those things to Brother Qin. ’”
"The old man said: 'Brother Shi, those things are related to some secrets of the royal family. If my brother doesn't mention it, there is a reason not to mention it. When you come to Jiayu Mansion to build a bridge, it stands to reason that the prefect will come forward to greet you and promote talents for you. But you didn't go to them, which means that you can't trust ......them.'"
Because Lord Shi and the third prince couldn't trust Chu Zhifu and them, they came to their house to find her father Qin Yi for help.
Within a few days, she learned that Fu Yu's uncle was holding a banquet in Huayue Building in the name of catching the wind for the third son. Later, he was arrested, not to mention the loss of money, and lost his job and went to prison.
After all these incidents, Lord Shi and the others had to be more cautious.
Qin Li sat in the carriage and thought carefully about what Qinghe had said to her, feeling that when Uncle Shi came to find her father, he would inevitably say something related to the third son. Before he got off the carriage, he took this opportunity to inquire with Guo.
"Mother, it's so cold in the south of us, and it's raining every day. Over there in the Imperial City, it should be colder. ”
"The third prince asked Uncle Shi to send us all the charcoal he received. I wonder if it's snowing in the Imperial City? If it snows, I'm afraid that the Yuexi merchant ship will not return to Jiangnan this year. If you want to buy some medicinal herbs on a merchant ship, it is also difficult. ”
In the medical book brought to her by the third prince, it was written that Jindielan can detoxify the poison of Ziling gall, but it depends on the situation.
In the past, when she was in the New World, she had read some of her grandfather's medical books, and there were several pages of them, which were written about the knowledge related to the solution of Ziling's bile poison.
After seeing it, she still remembers it.
