Three hundred and ten: Help
After listening to Kang Jinglan's words, Su Yunyao's hanging heart finally settled down a little, and let Lisheng and Songyin both go outside to suffer, ready to welcome the doctor in.
Since it was poisoned, there must be a reason for the poisoning, Su Yunyao felt that the person who poisoned him was in the courtyard, in order to kill Qin Manhuai in one fell swoop, he would definitely not let the doctor come over smoothly.
Unexpectedly, the doctor came.
The poison is not something powerful and difficult to solve, it is just some rat poison, but the rat poison has lost most of its effect after being left for many years, otherwise it will kill Qin Manhuai immediately.
After pouring down the two bowls of vomiting medicine, Qin Manhuai's consciousness came back a little, opened his eyes slightly, and only looked at the bed tent as if the world was spinning, and closed his eyes uncomfortably, only to hear Su Jinyao's voice in his ears, "The eldest lady is awake!" Then he fell into a deep sleep again.
Su Yunyao paced back and forth in the courtyard, her two hands rubbing together, and the uneasiness in her heart was infinitely magnified.
"Girl, the little grandfather is here, in the front yard." Lisheng whispered.
"What is he here for?"
Su Yunyao didn't think about those things at the moment, she just wanted Qin Manhuai to be safe.
"The little grandfather arranged manpower around the girl, and when the eldest lady was poisoned and fell, the person went to the Dingguo Mansion to inform the little grandfather, no, the little grandfather came with someone."
"Why, can he solve it?" Su Yunyao was a little unconvinced, but she still wanted to try, so she went to the front yard with Lisheng.
The four words of impatience to describe Su Yunyao's state can be said to be very appropriate, although the doctor said that it is very likely to save people back, but Su Yunyao still feels flustered, it is very likely that there are still a small number of possibilities, people are not cured, and they will pass away.
She didn't dare to think about it, she was afraid that it really happened.
"Don't worry." Bai Chuheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, seeing Su Yunyao lose her soul and almost fall while walking, she was really distressed, so she stepped forward to give her a hug, but there were a lot of people in the courtyard, so they saw that it would damage Su Yunyao's reputation, so they had to give up.
"Lisheng said you brought someone, but you came to save my mother?" As soon as she saw Bai Chuheng, Su Yunyao couldn't hold back any longer, and her tears fell like beads with broken threads.
"I brought it, I brought people." Bai Chuheng's last sentence was very quiet, "This person is a benevolent doctor, His Royal Highness King Yu was poisoned before, he detoxified, you can rest assured." ”
As he spoke, Chun Yuan, who was hiding his face behind Bai Chuheng, stepped forward, "The poor monk has seen Miss Su. ”
He was hiding his face, wearing plain clothes, and the dark gray cloak on the outside had no pattern at all, looking like he had fled, but his clothes and body were surprisingly clean, which overturned Su Yunyao's thoughts.
Dressed so plainly, one is because he is a monk, and the monk is not publicized, and the other is because he is the life-saving benefactor of King Yu, when King Yu was still the prince last time, he was severely poisoned and died not long ago, it was this little master who gave Fang Zi to save him, and the Lin family was angry and had secretly searched for this person for more than a year.
Su Yunyao leaned down slightly, and whispered, "Master, please come in." ”
Chun Yuan is a master of medicine, originally a monk in the Guotou Temple, but after a person who lived with him accidentally ate rat poison and was rescued by him, somehow this matter spread out, attracting the attention of Lin Taiwei, and then Lin Taiwei sent someone to kill Chunyuan, a total of three times, all of which were reluctantly avoided by Chunyuan, and then desperately ran to the Dingguo Mansion to seek refuge, Bai Chuheng has been raising him in the Dingguo Mansion.
When I arrived at Qin Manhuai's place, the doctor's emetic medicine was very effective, although Qin Manhuai was not conscious, but fortunately, he would not lose his breath.
Chun Yuan took over the medicine boiled by the doctor and smelled it, dipped and licked it with the tip of the spoon, and then shook his head slightly and said, "The antidote is a little too peaceful, although the poisoning is not deep, Madame's appearance is not deep, but it is also half a life into it, if you can't detoxify it directly, you won't damage the texture much over time." ”
Sure enough, Chunyuan went down with a bowl of antidote, and Qin Manhuai woke up in less than a quarter of an hour, and after taking the pulse, she knew that her breath was quite stable, but her body was too weak and needed to be carefully adjusted.
"Thank you so much, master!" Su Yunyao cried with joy, and asked Lisheng to take four or five purses to thank Chunyuan, but he refused.
Monks should not have too much money, the so-called money is something outside the body, and Chunyuan now has food and shelter, eats well and sleeps soundly in the Dingguo Mansion, and there is almost no chance to go out, so what is the use of asking for money? I can't spend it.
Qin Manhuai barely propped up her eyelids and looked around, a few Yao were guarding her, Su Moyao wiped her tears and washed her handkerchief, Su Jinyao personally watched people boil medicine, and Su Wanyao grew up a lot, and she and Qiu's mother sat in command together, so as not to let the maids and servants be too busy.
"Mother, are you feeling sick now?" Su Yunyao leaned over and asked.
Qin Manhuai couldn't speak, he only felt that his throat was very dry, and there was a slight tearing pain, thinking that it was the sequelae caused by vomiting.
"But thirsty?" Su Yunyao knew why her mother didn't speak, so she hurriedly ordered Songyin to pour a glass of water and serve her to drink it herself.
"You've been guarding me?" As soon as Qin Manhuai spoke, his voice was hoarse and painful, but he still had something to say, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, because I suddenly fell, it frightened you, right?" What about your father and grandmother? ”
"Father and starling brother begged their ancestors for blessing at the ancestral hall, and my grandmother said that this matter was poisoned by the family today, so I went to find the person who poisoned it, and it was great that you were okay, I think they will come to see you immediately after hearing about it."
Qin Manhuai nodded, but his throat was too painful, so he closed his eyes and didn't speak again.
The old lady and Su Yao both came in, and Su Yingchen followed behind, eager to raise her feet to see the situation in the house.
Qin Manhuai was still asleep, and the old lady didn't know whether to disturb her, so she took a hasty look, told others to take care of her, and went out with Su Yao.
It is rare for a family member to fish in troubled waters and poison him, but since there is such a person, the old lady, as the head of the family, must find out.
Bai Chuheng and Chun Yuan had tea in the flower hall, and the old lady and Su Yao personally went to thank Chun Yuan, this life-saving grace could not be repaid, but it was not just to give some more silver taels or please eat two good meals.
Su Yunyao also came to the flower hall, and she also felt that this was the work of the thief, so she wanted to discuss it with the old lady.
"I have some opinions on this matter." Bai Chuheng said first, "I don't know much about this matter, but I know that the longer the rat poison is left untreated, the less effective it is, and the person who poisons it will not think of it, either he has no chance to get other poisons, or he is not prepared to let the eldest lady die at all." ”
"That's right." Su Yao nodded and said, "What the little grandfather said is reasonable, there are so many types of poisons, such as the Heding Red Broken Intestine Grass, even if it is rat poison within four years, it will be stained with death and death, but there must be a reason why that villain chose such a poison that is not enough to kill people." ”
Su Yunyao answered, "If the person who poisoned didn't want his mother's life, then why? His mother was so poisoned and uncomfortable, what could he get? My daughter couldn't figure this out. ”
"I can figure it out a little." The old lady's eyes widened instantly, "Is it possible that the person who poisoned him couldn't touch other poisons, and only had this rat poison in his hand that had been left for many years?" ”
"The rats are gone this season, and my son asked Qiu Li to go to the warehouse to ask the steward, and there are many people who come to him every year to get rat poison, maybe there is half a bag left in the yard."
After Su Yao finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, carefully pondering the key here.
"Since we can't find the source of the poison, let's first check how the poison got in." Kang Jinglan said, "The time of the eldest lady's poisoning is not too late, the rat poison is not long after it is stained, and it will always find out who poisoned." ”
"Qiu Li, go to the kitchen and ask, who cooked for the eldest lady in the morning, who brought the food to Su Ning Yuan, whether anyone has handled it during this period, whether there is anyone who is different, ask me one by one! The New Year is an auspicious reunion, and the person who poisoned it is really unspeakable! ”
Qiu Li's legs and feet were fast, and he came back in a hurry, and everyone knew that in order not to waste food, Qin Manhuai ordered Qiu Xia to bring the leftover dishes from yesterday's Chinese New Year's Eve back to Su Ning Yuan, and the small kitchen of Su Ning Yuan directly heated it for breakfast, and the kitchen never handled it at all.
This is good news, the kitchen is not close to Su Ning Yuan, washing vegetables and cutting vegetables in the middle, boiling water to cook porridge and sending rice, etc., there will be people who have bad intentions, take advantage of people not paying attention to mixing some rat poison into it, no one will find it at all, and as long as it is traced, a large number of people will be checked, and there are more than ten or twenty people who are beaten by the board and sticks.
But if the number of people is set in Su Ning Yuan, Qin Manhuai does not advocate waste, and leads by example, her maids in Su Ning Yuan always come according to the rules, and even the number of people is much less than the rules.
The most important ones around Qin Manhuai, Qiu's mother, Qiuxia Qiuyue, these are all married to the Qin family, and they have served Qin Manhuai for more than ten years, so it can be said that they are more heartfelt than anyone else, if they can do this, the old lady and Su Yao don't believe it, even Su Yunyao dares to guarantee them.
Sift the next batch, minus Qiu's mother and Qiuyue Qiuxia, who served Qin Manhuai's breakfast, and only those who served in the small kitchen, as well as the maid who delivered the hot meal to the main house.
Qiu Li brought five, two are second-class maids, Qiushui and Qiulu, one is a third-class maid, who has been to Su Ning Yuan for more than two years, named Yanzi, and two have just entered Su Ning Yuan for a short time, and they are not a miscellaneous for the time being, and they are not officially designated as several class maids, so they are used to add firewood to burn charcoal in the small kitchen.
