Chapter 267: Fetal Poison
I heard Miss Liu say that when her grandmother was still alive, she quietly told her about her life. Her mother, Mrs. Liu San, and the emperor's concubine Li at that time were siblings, and their relationship was very good, and they were pregnant at the same time. The emperor favored Concubine Li more, and occasionally her mother could enter the palace to meet Concubine Li.
Because the two sisters' father, Master Li, had a good relationship with Imperial Doctor He, when they were five months pregnant, Imperial Doctor He quietly checked their pulse. said that Concubine Li was pregnant with a male fetus, and her mother was pregnant with a female fetus. This news made the two sisters very happy, because Concubine Liu Shufei was also pregnant at that time, and the emperor said that whoever gave birth to a boy would be the queen. If both are boys, whoever is born early will be the queen. So, even though her mother knew that she was pregnant with a girl, she was happy for her sister.
He Cheng finally shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully, "As a result, Heaven seems to have played a big joke on Miss Liu's mother and aunt. The two sisters had a baby only two days apart, her aunt and husband came down with a monster, and two days later her mother gave birth to a freak. People who know the inside story are privately rumoring that the Li family must have been sent by heaven, so both daughters gave birth to such children. ”
"What, what monster, what freak?" Lu Man exclaimed.
He Chengdao, "I don't know what the monster born by Concubine Li looks like, and Miss Liu doesn't know either, only that the monster was buried soon after it was born." Miss Liu was born with purple skin and a large bag on the left side of her chin, and people said she was a freak. Her mother was sad about the transition and died a few days later. Originally, Lord Liu wanted to drown Miss Liu, but her grandmother, Mrs. Liu, was reluctant to do so, saying that if she was sent to the nunnery, she would live if she could, and it would be her life if she couldn't live......"
Lu Man's mouth opened and couldn't close. How dare He Huang's grandfather cut off the fetus to the emperor's woman, how can there be an impermeable wall in this world, and if it is spread that Concubine Li is dead, He Huang will also die. At that time, the person in power in the harem was the first queen mother, who was the aunt of Wang Shufei.
I don't know if his death has anything to do with it. In Lu Man's opinion, He Chao has been working in the Tai Hospital for more than 20 years, and he is still a judge of the Tai Hospital, so he should be cautious and cautious in dealing with people, and he shouldn't make that stupid move.
Moreover, the children born by the two sisters have problems, is it a family genetic disease?
Lu Man asked again, "Is Miss Liu's skin still purple now?" Also, is that bag still there? ”
He Chengdao, "Her skin is now as smooth as snow. It's just that because of the seldom of daylight, it is a little pale. The bag is still there, it grows here, it's so big, and only the color of this bag is still purple. He pointed to the left side of his chin, and compared the size with his hand, which was larger than a walnut, and added, "She said that her nurse said that she was only the size of longan when she was first born, and then she grew to this size. ”
Lu Man said, "Did her skin turn white on its own?" ”
He Cheng shook his head and said, "No." I heard her say that when she was five years old, her nurse went down the mountain to buy food, inadvertently saved an old woman who broke her leg, and helped the old woman to rest in the nunnery. The old woman, who was a midwife, looked at Miss Liu and said that her skin and the lump must have been poisoned by an extremely rare fetal poison. The lump is where the toxin gathers, and if it grows to the size of a baby's fist, the toxin spreads and lives are gone.
The old woman said that she could help detoxify, and after detoxification, Miss Liu's skin would get better, but she couldn't get rid of the lump, so she could only stop it from growing. The old woman prescribed the medicine to drink and the medicine to take a bath, and after half a year, Miss Liu's skin turned from purple to white. But the nuns and nurses in the nunnery did not dare to tell her about the fetal poison and the whitening of her skin, and said that if Miss Liu wanted to live, the fetal poison must rot in her stomach. Because I am the grandson of Imperial Physician Ho, and I am treating her, she told me about it. He also emphasized, "She only told me about the fetal poison, and she didn't even know about the girl Xiaoxi." ”
What a master in the people, that old woman is really powerful.
Lu Man thought about it further and was frightened. Mrs. Liu San was poisoned by the fetus, so she gave birth to a "freak", could Concubine Li also be poisoned by the fetus and give birth to a "monster"?
She had already heard that Concubine Li was dead, and she died the day after giving birth to a child, but it turned out that she gave birth to a "monster". Lu Man also knew that He Huang was also guilty of that day. Two months later, Concubine Li's maiden family was beheaded for corruption and perverted the law, and the others were exiled to Qiongzhou.
From this point of view, Mrs. Liu San is most likely poisoned in the palace, and she fell for it when she went to see Concubine Li. Moreover, He Huang's death should be related to Concubine Li......
Lu Man asked again, "Miss Liu Si went back to the house, and the people in the house saw that her skin turned white, did they have no doubt?" Also, you've been treating her for so long, what's wrong with that bag? ”
He Cheng said, "That nun and nurse are very good, I'm afraid that someone in Liu's mansion will be unfavorable to Miss Liu." Even if Miss Liu's skin turned white, they also wanted to blacken Miss Liu's face and hands. When Miss Liu was twelve years old, her nurse and nun fell ill and died, and at that time, Mrs. Liu was still alive, and she couldn't bear to be left out at a young age, and she was unwilling to send her to her father, who was thousands of miles away, for fear that her stepmother would treat her harshly, so she asked people to take her back to the Gongfu. When she returned home, she also blackened her face and hands and wore a veil. Only the old man, the old lady, the grandfather and Mrs. Liu saw her, and they didn't look carefully, so they sent her to the small courtyard and didn't allow her to go out of the courtyard. Xiaoxi is a girl that Miss Liu bought when she was in the nunnery, and all her affairs are handled by Xiaoxi. Miss Liu lived there silently, and even many masters in the house didn't know that there were still people living in that courtyard......"
He also said that the lump on Miss Liu's chin had not disappeared, but it was still extremely painful, so that she often couldn't sleep, which was very painful. Eating his decoction and his occasional injections did not help. Because she was afraid that the smell of medicine and the residue of medicine would arouse suspicion, Xiaoxi went to ask the eldest lady in advance, saying that the fourth girl was not in good health, her skin and jaw were extremely painful, and she had been taking medicine in the nunnery.
The people in the house did not doubt this, and they also knew that the fourth girl had a special physique and needed to take medicine. On the surface, he took those medicines, but the boiled medicines were the medicines sent by He Cheng. Miss Liu is very smart, and she never gave up her own treatment, and learned to read and write with nuns and nurses in the nunnery, as well as simple medical skills, and also administered moxibustion to herself according to the medical book......
He Cheng said again, "It was only after I gave her our magic pills Baihe Pill and Salicyl Pill that the pain level was greatly relieved, and she was able to fall asleep at night......
