Chapter 12: Aconitum is highly poisonous
Changshu didn't notice Xuan Mo's unsettled gaze at all, or rather, she didn't have much energy to pay attention now.
Allowing herself to live a normal life like an ordinary woman has already consumed almost all of her energy.
The fire in the East Palace that night took the prince's life, and by the way, it burned out all her kindness, so that now every time she thinks about it, the most primitive desires in her heart have become more and more devilish.
She wanted to kill.
I want to torture and kill those people.
She even craved blood for a while.
But those who have passed away want her to be kind, to live carefree, not to be rich, but to be safe and happy.
Changshu desperately suppressed the thoughts in her heart, even she felt that such a dark side was wrong, she showed her best side, practicing medicine to help the world, gentle and kind.
She was such a kind person - if the queen and the crown prince hadn't died, if the Wen family hadn't been connected to the nine clans.
Changshu looked at the bowl in his hand, was silent for a long time, reached out to take it, took a few steps back and closed the door again.
completely cut off Xuanmo's sight.
Xuan Mo was not annoyed, and he was quietly waiting outside with a good temper.
He carefully recalled the conversation between Changshu and the peasant girl before.
The moment Changshu lost control of her emotions, what did the peasant girl say?
- She is the daughter of the county lord of Qingping, and her status is precious, aren't you afraid that she will find you trouble?
So Miss Changshu is because of the county lord of Qingping...... Or is it because she hates this kind of behavior of people who bully others?
Xuan Mo stood on the steps, frowning and began to think.
He had already realized that he was particularly interested in the affairs of this eldest girl, and his interest was a little too much.
This is not in keeping with his identity.
But Xuan Mo did not intend to deceive himself into denying his interest.
After a while, Changshu opened the door, ignored Xuanmo who was standing on the side and waiting, walked to the kitchen and washed the dishes in his hand and put them back in the cabinet, and washed the handles again, and then gave Xuanmo a look.
The tone sounded calm, without the faint coldness when talking to the peasant girl before: "How are your injuries healing?" ”
"It's already scabbed." Xuan Mo followed her, saw her sit down in the courtyard, and also sat opposite her: "The girl's medicine works very well." ”
"It's just a very ordinary notoginseng powder." Changshu motioned for him to stretch out his hand, so that he could take his pulse: "Panax notoginseng powder stops bleeding and dissipates stasis and relieves pain, and the effect is particularly good,"
Thinking that he would probably be injured often, maybe he would use it, Changshu said a few words: "It is recorded in the medicine scripture: Sanqi can stop bleeding with the camp, pass the pulse and stasis, and all postpartum, menstruation, bruises, carbuncles, scars, and all blood stasis are broken; Whenever there is vomiting, or leaking, or stabbing wounds, or arrow wounds, all new blood shall cease. ”
Xuan Mo looked at her curiously: "Although I don't know how to use medical skills, I also know a little bit, hasn't Sanqi always been a blood nourider?" ”
Changshu raised her eyes and glanced at him: "That's cooked Sanqi." ”
Xuan Mo nodded with a teachable expression.
Changshu withdrew her hand and said lightly: "I'll go and give you medicine, and your injuries will be fine if you drink for two or three days." ”
"The wound on your body has been scabbed, as long as you don't tear it again, it won't be a big deal, although there is a bit of blood loss and some internal injuries, but it's not a big problem."
"It's also your good foundation, otherwise if you soak in the water for so long, it will be difficult to pass the level of wound festering and fever."
Xuan Mo followed her in the direction of the pharmacy, nodding again and again as if he was listening very seriously.
"The girl is very proficient in pharmacology?"
Changshu glanced at him and said as a matter of course: "As a doctor, how can you prescribe medicine to patients if you don't understand pharmacology?" ”
Xuan Mo asked, "Does that girl know the flavor of aconitum medicine?" ”
Changshu paused, and a trace of coldness crossed her eyes.
There are too many things that can remind her of the aconitum medicine, such as the Guo family who was drugged by her a few days ago.
Aconitum is not a highly toxic without an incure, and even the antidote is easy to find, ordinary aconitum poisoning can be boiled with licorice, Poria cocos, mung bean boiled water to drink, honey can also be, are some common medicinal materials in the pharmacy, in addition, Yuanzhi, parsnip can also detoxify the poison of aconite.
Changshu didn't expect to poison the people of the Guo family with aconite, she purely wanted to make the people of the Guo family uncomfortable, after all, the taste of aconitum poisoning was really not very pleasant.
Changshu's tone was flat: "I know, what's wrong?" ”
"Can you tell me?"
Changshu was silent for a moment and said: "Aconitum is a medicine for dissipating cold and relieving pain, which can not only dispel the cold of the meridians, but also disperse the cold of the viscera. ”
"But aconitum is highly toxic, and ordinary doctors can't grasp the dosage and don't dare to prescribe this flavor medicine easily, for fear of accidents."
Xuanmo is like a curious baby, with a lot of questions: "What symptoms will there be?" ”
"Numbness in the mouth, tongue, limbs and whole body, dizziness, tinnitus, slurred speech, palpitations, shortness of breath, paleness, cold extremities, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Grass is a little more toxic. ”
"Deadly?"
Changshu glanced at him in surprise: "Of course, it will be fatal if it is not saved in time, and the aconitum recorded in the medicine book is all poisonous, not small poison." ”
Xuan Mo thought about it, there didn't seem to be anything special, he pretended to say that it was aconitum poisoning, but would anyone be so idle to poison people first and then kill people?
Aconitum can poison people, why do you need to do more?
Changshu said: "Aconitum is highly toxic, so it must be processed before it can be taken internally, and it can cause poisoning in a very small amount if it is taken without processing. In addition, when someone prescribed prescriptions, the combination of aconitum and ephedra caused the patient to die of poisoning, and the decoction time was too short and it was easy to be poisoned. ”
Speaking of this, she looked at Xuan Mo: "You're not a doctor, why are you asking so much?" ”
Xuan Mo smiled: "I heard that there was a murder in the city a few days ago, and the deceased was taken off by someone before his death, I was curious for a while. ”
Changshu's hand grasping the medicine paused.
If it's just curiosity, that's fine.
Xuan Mo looked at her and said as if unintentionally: "The most important thing is that everyone in that family was poisoned, but the fatal injury was blocked by a sword, today I heard Miss Changshu say this, I think the murderer's actions are too much, and I don't know what the perpetrator thinks." ”
Changshu's eyes drooped slightly, and he quietly looked at the scale on the small scale rod in his hand, and said in an indifferent tone: "It's really too much, if it's a doctor, there are more ways to kill people without seeing blood, and this method is too clumsy." ”
"For example, if I want to kill you now, I don't know how you died."
Xuan Mo sat on the chair: "The doctor also kills people?" ”
"Why not, compared to ordinary people, healers kill people more unknowingly, aren't they?"
She divided the medicine on the weighing pan into three, poured it on the oiled paper spread out on the table, turned around and continued to grab the medicine, and asked, "Are you talking about the Guo family's murder?" ”
