Chapter 091: Cases
"What did you say?" Yan Muyun clenched her fists: "Say what you just said, say it again." ”
"What reason do I have to poison a lady who is already terminally ill and unpopular in the Yan family, and has obviously fallen out of favor. Big sister, what do you want to hear? ”
"My mother is the wife of the Yan family, she has not fallen out of favor and will not fall out of favor."
"Whatever the big sister says, it's what it is." Yan Suwen didn't want to talk to Yan Muyun more: "If the eldest sister really cares about the eldest aunt, she should go to the doctor, instead of entangling with me here." ”
"Grandmother...... You've seen it and heard it, right? I know, because of my mother's relationship, you don't want to see me and Tong'er, in your heart, your granddaughter is the only one she asks. She is kind and sensible, but is she really like this? ”
"My granddaughter is indeed very kind, caring and sensible." Old Mrs. Yan turned a blind eye to Yan Muyun's anger: "There is nothing wrong with what Su Wen said, if you really feel sorry for your mother, you should be by her side at this time, instead of spreading wild in my yard." I know that your mother has no rules, and she can't teach her daughter to have rules. If your mother really goes, it will be a good thing, I will let you take you over and teach you the etiquette rules that the daughter of the Yan family should understand, lest you go to your mother-in-law's house in the future and lose the face of our Yan family. ”
"She Yan Su asked is your granddaughter, is it true that Tong'er and I are raised in the wild, and we don't have the blood of the Yan family on our bodies? I knew that my grandmother was partial, but I didn't know that she was so partial. ”
"If you are as sensible as Su Wen, I will also be biased towards you. It's a pity that you're like your unsuccessful mother. ”
"If the eldest lady deliberately makes the old lady angry, please go back." Wangqiu stood between Mrs. Yan and Yan Muyun, lowered her head, and when she looked up, she gave Yan Muyun a look and signaled her not to say any more.
Yan Muyun pursed her lower lip tightly and stared at Yan Suwen for a long time.
After half a ring, she said unwillingly: "Grandmother, Yun'er is wrong, Yun'er shouldn't worry about her mother, she should contradict her grandmother and say something that makes her sad and makes her angry." ”
"I don't get angry or nervous, but the important thing is that you have to know your own situation. You go back, if you want to fulfill your filial piety, stay in front of your mother in peace. ”
"Yes!" Yan Muyun lowered her head, gritted her teeth, turned around, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Wangqiu followed a few steps and said to Yan Muyun: "The snow outside is slippery, the eldest lady pays attention to her feet." In addition, to say something that the slave should not say, the second lady really has no reason to harm the eldest lady, and as for the old lady's heart, she also knows what the eldest lady is planning. If the eldest lady is smart, she should think carefully about what is right and what is right. ”
Yan Muyun glanced at Qiu, obviously not hearing what she said.
Wangqiu looked at her back and shook his head.
Listen to people's persuasion and eat enough, but the eldest lady of the Yan family is not used to it, and she can't listen to anything.
Seeing Yan Muyun's back disappear into the snowy scene, Wangqiu turned around and entered the house.
At this time, Yan Suwen was holding Mrs. Yan's hand and whispering something to her.
Old Lady Yan saw Wangqiu and said to her, "You go to the Qin family to take a look and see what trouble she is doing." ”
"Do you want the second lady to go over together?"
"What is she going to do? Let people hold on to the whole once and then hurt the whole once, and then come to the second crime. Old Mrs. Yan was obviously a little unhappy: "Since the Qin family entered the door, our Yan family has not stopped." Over the years, I stayed in this courtyard to eat fasting and chant Buddha, pretending to be deaf and dumb, because I didn't want to take care of her, and I was too lazy to be angry with her. But she is good, not only does she not know how to restrain herself, but she is becoming more and more arrogant, and she can't even tolerate such a little girl from her hometown as Su Wen. You go and tell my unsuccessful son, if this Qin family is really poisoned, let him report it to the yamen, and let the yamen investigate. If it really finds out about my granddaughter, my old lady will never protect her. If she hadn't been poisoned, she would have asked him to write a letter and send this Qin clan back. ”
"Grandmother is really angry?"
"When you meet such a mother and daughter, can your grandmother not be angry?"
"The temperament of the eldest aunt, and the grandmother did not know about it in recent days. Although the eldest sister and the third sister are a little inconsiderate in doing things, they don't have any special harmful intentions. The eldest sister targeted me, just because she felt that I had robbed her of the person she liked and robbed her of her respect in the Yan Mansion in the past. When the granddaughter came out of the cabinet, this matter would naturally subside. ”
"Pacify?" Mrs. Yan snorted coldly: "I also know that Mu Yun's girl, her heart is higher than the sky, but she doesn't have any great ability, coupled with her mother's consistent teaching, it can't be a small climate, but it can cause a lot of chaos." This person is not afraid of being unambitious, but afraid that she will never be able to see how many pounds and taels she weighs, and she always thinks that she can get what she can't get and shouldn't get. ”
"Look at what my grandmother said, how can the girl of our Yan family be bad. Wheel appearance, the eldest sister is also one of the best in Yecheng, the wheel is learned, and the eldest sister has studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood. The temperament is a little arrogant, but this famous boudoir in Yecheng, that temperament is not arrogant? ”
"She harms you wholeheartedly, it's okay if you don't get angry, why do you still hold her everywhere and help her talk."
"Don't dare your granddaughter, her granddaughter is so small-minded that she won't help anyone speak. The granddaughter is talking about things and telling the truth. Big sister's temperament, it's good to grind it again. ”
"Then she has to be willing to grind." Mrs. Yan sighed: "I'm tired and want to lie down." ”
"That granddaughter will thump your legs."
"No, you have to keep your hands for acupuncture and treatment. In the next room, I asked Wangqiu to prepare some medical skills and medical cases, if you don't have anything else important, go over and have a look. There is a stove in the house, and there are also refreshments, which are all your favorite food. ”
"Grandmother." Yan Suwen's heart warmed, and her eyes almost turned red.
"The people who are going to leave the cabinet, why are they still thinking about being spoiled by their grandmother. Go ahead and take a closer look, especially the medical cases. Mrs. Yan waved her hand, Yan Su asked and got up, blessed with a blessing, and retreated and went out.
Next door, it was a room for overnight stays, but the old lady has lived in Baifutang for many years and has never stayed with any guests. When the eldest brother was young, he was raised in front of the old lady, but he lived in this house for a few days, and there were still traces of the year faintly visible.
On the bookcase, there is a medical case, which seems to have been deliberately placed there, and it seems that the previous owner forgot to accept it after reading it.
The medical case has no name, the cover is all white, and the inside is not a printed font but Juanxiu's handwriting.
"Could it be that my grandmother wrote this medical case herself?"
Yan Suwen sat down and looked at the page by page. The medical case has records about patients, which are written quite obscurely, but the true identities of these people can be deduced from reading between the lines.
On one of the pages, there is a case of false pregnancy, which says that a concubine in the harem is pregnant, and several times the pulse is happy. But one morning, when she got up, she found that her lower abdomen was slightly distended and painful, as if she had a menstrual experience. The concubine thought that her fetal image was unstable and turned red, so she hurriedly asked people to find the emperor, and the emperor hurriedly recruited her grandmother into the palace.
Grandmother took the pulse for a long time, and her face became heavier and whiter, and finally she gritted her teeth and fell to her knees with a thud. She told the emperor that the concubine was not pregnant, nor was she red, but that her days had come and her menstrual affairs had come.
The concubine didn't believe it at first, and then threw herself out of bed like a madman, grabbed her grandmother and asked her why she said that.
Although my grandmother was covered in cold sweat, she insisted that her diagnosis was not wrong. The emperor didn't know who to believe, so he asked the chamberlain to announce other imperial doctors, including the one who originally diagnosed the concubine.
After the doctors took turns to diagnose, it was confirmed that the grandmother's words were not false, and the concubine did not show signs of pregnancy.
The emperor was furious and ordered the imperial doctor who had originally diagnosed the concubine to be beheaded, and he was not even allowed to say a word of rebuttal, and the originally favored concubine was treated coldly by the emperor because of the fake pregnancy, and died of depression within a year.
False pregnancy, also known as pseudopregnancy, refers to the occurrence of some pregnancy-like symptoms in women, such as menstrual stoppage, nausea, vomiting, etc., and even conscious fetal movement and abdominal distention. In her original world, whether she was pregnant only needed to go to the hospital for an imaging examination to confirm it, but in this era when you have to diagnose people just by looking, hearing and asking, it is really easy to misdiagnose.
Misdiagnosis?
No, not a misdiagnosis.
Those who can be imperial doctors and can enter the palace at any time to see the concubines must not be quacks. This misdiagnosis is still understandable, but the misdiagnosis is a bit unspeakable. Unless, this concubine was originally a fake pregnancy, and it was an act of collusion that was discussed with the imperial doctor who diagnosed herself.
Fake pregnancy is to compete for favor and to better survive in the harem, but is it worth taking this risk for a concubine who is being favored?
No, it's not worth it, because she doesn't need to fake pregnancy, she just needs to use the time when she is being favored to please the emperor.
At the bottom of the case, my grandmother also wrote about a medicine, which is extremely rare, but has a special effect, that is, it can stimulate the central nervous system of the person, so that the hypothalamus dysfunction, resulting in increased levels of luteinizing hormone and prolactin, so that women have signs and symptoms similar to pregnancy.
In the absence of relevant instruments and equipment to do research and observation, the imperial physicians of this era may not know as much about pharmacology as she does, but the ancients liked to taste herbs and do research by themselves.
The reason why my grandmother wrote the name of this medicine must have been to learn some inside information. The concubine who was fake pregnant was most likely framed.
After looking at the time remarked on the medical case, and simply calculated, Yan Suwen found that the time when the concubine fell out of favor with a fake pregnancy happened to be the time when the current emperor was about to be born.
Is all this a coincidence?
