Chapter 161: Gold

"Have you heard, Changchun Palace killed a few handmaidens today."

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"It was said that he was bribed by someone and wanted to do something to the dragon seed in the belly of Concubine Zhenniang...... Now that people are kneeling on the ground in the Changchun Palace, the court envoy hurriedly entered the palace, just to give the concubine a safe birth......

In the hall in the front hall of the medical officer's hospital, two medical officers were talking with a bowl, Lu Yu walked past them, and when the two saw someone coming, they buried their heads in eating and were silent.

In addition to being on duty in the Medical Officer's Hospital, the medical officers of the Medical Officer's Hospital spend most of their time walking among the major official families, and they also know a lot of secrets in the Gaomen Mansion.

That concubine Niangniang has been very favored recently, when today's son is old, a total of four princes, in addition to the prince, the three princes are the most favored, if the dragon in the belly of the concubine is a male fetus, it is not yet known how the court situation will change in the future.

Change is always happening in an instant.

Lu Yu bypassed the tables and chairs, went to the kitchen to get some leftover steamed buns and wrapped them, left the dining room, and walked to the pharmacy in the back corridor.

This row of pharmacies is always empty all year round, and it is rare to use it since Lu Yu came to the medical hospital.

Lu Yu walked along the corridor until he reached the penultimate room, pushed the door and walked in.

There was a medicine stove on the ground in the room, and it was steaming out, Lin Danqing was sitting in front of the medicine stove, his eyes were slightly squinted by the smoke, and there were medical books and medicine books scattered all over the ground.

In the gap next to the medicine stove, there were also a few blue-shelled eggs, which were roasted to a slight blackened shell, and were crowded under the medicine jar, like pebbles piled under the jar.

Lu Yu handed her the steamed buns in the bag, and Lin Danqing smiled: "Thank you, and let you send me food." ”

"There are only cold steamed buns," Lu Yu sat down beside her, "Why don't you eat at the dining room?" ”

Chang Jin was not allowed to eat outside the dining room, so Lu Yu could only bring out a few steamed buns for her.

"I'm making medicine," Lin Danqing picked up a steamed bun with a big grin, bit the bottom half, almost choked, and swallowed it before saying: "You don't know, we are doctors, of course we can't leave the jar of decoction." ”

Lu Yu was silent.

Lin Danqing has nothing to do these days, and the medical hospital has given her fewer errands, and she has a lot of free time, so she seems to be angry, trying to make new medicines next door to Lu Yu.

The original empty pharmacy is now occupied by the two of them, the penultimate one is Lu Yu's, and the penultimate one is Lin Danqing's. The two of them competed, and one stayed up longer than the other at night.

Lu Yu lowered his head, put away the scattered medical books on the ground, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw that the book of "Mingyi Medical Scripture" in Lin Danqing's hand had turned to the section of "All Poisons".

It seems that before, she also saw Lin Danqing reading at night and reading here.

Lu Yu looked at the medicine jar in front of Lin Danqing.

The decoction in the jar is boiled in a boiling soup with white foam, in which the medicinal materials are not clear, and you can smell the faintly familiar bitter aroma, which seems to be an antidote to the medicine.

After a pause, Lu Yu asked, "Are you making an antidote?" ”

"You are so powerful," Lin Danqing bit half a steamed bun in his mouth, glared at her, and said: "The precious medicinal materials I used were specially removed from some medicinal properties, and you smelled it as soon as you smelled it?" ”

Lu Yu pointed to the book of "Mingyi Medical Sutra" on the ground: "Didn't you turn to this page?" ”

Lin Danqing: "......"

After being speechless for a moment, she said, "It turns out that you relied on guessing." ”

He put aside the "Mingyi Medical Scripture" in front of him, and looked a little melancholy: "I thought that the Medical Institution had a rich collection of books, and Chang Yizheng said that the poisons recorded in the "Mingyi Medical Scripture" are the most comprehensive in the Liang Dynasty today, with more than 500 kinds, but I have turned this book several times, and found that it is nothing more than that, there are many poisons, which are not recorded at all, which shows that medicine has a long way to go. ”

She seemed very lost.

Lu Yu thought for a while and asked, "Is there no poison you want to find?" What kind of poison do you want to solve? ”

Lin Danqing's eyes moved.

After a while, she sighed, used silver chopsticks to set aside the green-shelled eggs on the medicine stove, and poked the eggshells with chopsticks.

"Do you know the poison in southern Xinjiang?"

Lu Yu: "I heard it. ”

Far away from southern Xinjiang, there are many poisonous snakes, insects and ants, there is no shortage of strange flowers and plants, the poison here is fierce, and because it is far away from the Central Plains, what can be recorded in the medical books of the Liang Dynasty is only a drop in the bucket.

Lin Danqing rolled the roasted egg on the ground, tried it with his hands to make it not so hot, knocked it on the ground, the green shell shattered to the ground, and peeled off the eggshell three or two times, revealing the white and tender eggs inside.

This is the native egg personally picked by Du Changqing, which is not big, but it is said to sell better than the stalls in Guanxiang.

"Eggs are better to eat baked than boiled," Lin Danqing handed her one, "Do you want it?" ”

Lu Yu shook her head, she took a bite by herself, and her eyes lit up: "It's so fragrant!" ”

Lu Yu waited for her quietly.

Lin Danqing took a bite of the baked egg and said, "I want to find an antidote to 'shooting eyes'." ”

"Eye-shooting?"

Lin Danqing sighed.

She said: "You also know that the poisons in southern Xinjiang are fierce, I have never been to southern Xinjiang, and I don't even know what this poisonous weed called 'shooting eyes' looks like." Chang Yizheng said that the medical books in the library of the medical official hospital are the most complete, but I have not found any record of 'shooting eyes', and I have asked the hospital envoy and the doctor Zheng, but I have not heard of the name of this poisonous weed. ”

The girl smiled bitterly: "I almost wonder if the poisonous weed of 'Shooting Eyes' is fake at all, but it is just a name made up." ”

She is always carefree and grinning on weekdays, but at the moment she is a little sad, sitting on the ground, eating eggs one bite at a time, and she looks a little bitter.

Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "'Shooting Eyes', is it the poisonous weed that gradually blurs his eyes until he goes blind after taking it?" ”

"Ahem, ahemβ€”"

Lin Danqing coughed violently.

"You, you...... Ahemβ€”"

Lu Yu handed her the kettle, Lin Danqing poured half of it violently, and looked at her in shock: "How do you know!" ”

The poisons of southern Xinjiang are difficult for people in the Central Plains to encounter, just as she looked around for records about this grass, but she found nothing over the years. Not only the medical hospital, but also the respected and well-informed old doctors in the Shengjing Medical Clinic have not heard of this poison. Lin Danqing himself almost gave up, but he didn't expect to be said by Lu Yu here.

"How, how do you know about this poison?!"

As soon as she was excited, the half egg she was holding was crushed and rubbed the yolk in her hand.

Lu Yu handed her the damp cloth that was on the handle of the medicine jar.

"I've seen this in Master's Codex."

Yun Niang's medical books are all piled up in Luomei Peak, to be precise, there are few medical books, and there are many poisonous scriptures, Lu Yu sometimes doesn't know where Yun Niang collected these strange poisons, from the Central Plains to foreign races, from mountains to the sea, some are natural poisonous weeds, which grow in inaccessible places, and some are new poisons made by her, which are more poisonous and more ruthless.

Lu Yu read them one by one.

In those days on the mountain, she just hated not reading enough.

Lin Danqing grabbed Lu Yu's hand, her eyes flashed: "Sister Lu, where is your master, can you take me to see her......

"The tutor has passed away."

"What about the Codex, can you lend me a look at the Codex?"

Lu Yu lowered his eyes: "The codex has been burned with the master when he was buried. ”

Lin Danqing was stunned for a moment, showing disappointment.

But soon, she cheered up again and asked Lu Yu: "Sister Lu, since you have read the Lingshi Codex, what is the record of 'shooting eyes', what does it look like, and is there an antidote?" ”

Lu Yu shook his head: "No." ”

Yun Niang likes to collect the poisons of the world, but she doesn't like detoxification. Many of those poisonous scriptures are incurable poisons. If the poison can be easily unraveled, it is not worth recording in the codex.

"Shooting eyes" only records its name and efficacy, and there is no antidote to it.

"It is written in the Codex that if a person takes the poison of 'shooting his eyes,' his eyes will gradually become blurred, such as the pain of shooting his eyes with an arrow, it will be as short as three or five years, and at most twenty years, and he will lose his sight."

Lin Danqing was stunned and muttered: "Yes, the pain of shooting the eyes with an arrow ......"

After being silent for a long time, she smiled bitterly: "It seems that there are still not enough records about 'shooting eyes'. ”

She sullenly picked up an egg and knocked it twice on the ground absentmindedly, as if very irritated.

Lu Yu's eyes swept over the medicine jar in the room, and suddenly spoke: "What you are doing now is the antidote to 'Shooting Eyes'?" ”

Lin Danqing nodded and shook his head again.

"I used a lot of antidotes, but the effect of making the medicine is very average, no different from ordinary antidotes."

"It's better to try to fight poison with poison." Lu Yu proposed.

Lin Danqing looked at her in surprise, and then categorically refused: "When I first joined the Taiyi Bureau, my husband said that the prescription is better than light, better than poisonous, and better than small. 'Shooting eyes' is a highly poisonous thing, and people who use poison will not be able to stand it. ”

The doctors of the medical hospital have always been gentle with their medicines, but they are also afraid of accidents. Lu Yu usually looks gentle and weak, but he actually exported such a domineering pharmaceutical prescription, which surprised Lin Danqing.

"Medicine has seven feelings, and those who kill each other are the king of medicine. The Taiyi Bureau only teaches students to use each other together, which is safe, but there are too few options. It's better to find another way. Lu Yu didn't care, but said calmly: "There are some poisons, just look at the poisoning of people, but if you use other auxiliary drugs to wash away the toxicity, you can also use medicine." Some herbs are inconspicuous and can be used to cause diseases, but if they are filled with special utensils or introduced into other things, the good medicine will become dangerous......"

Speaking of this, Lu Yu suddenly stopped, not knowing what to think, and his expression was a little stunned.

Lin Danqing didn't see her abnormality, as if she was also affected by her words, lowered her head and pondered quietly, and didn't speak for a while.

After a moment, Lu Yu stood up: "I delivered the steamed buns, nothing else, I'll go out first." ”

Lin Danqing came back to her senses and looked up at her: "Don't you make medicine?" ”

Today is not the day to treat Jin Xianrong, when he usually has nothing to do, Lu Yu stays in the pharmacy, flipping through medical books, making new medicines or something - Jin Xianrong's dressing has been changed several times.

"Not anymore."

After a pause, Lu Yu spoke: "I'll go to the palace marshal's mansion, and I should treat the camp guards today." ”

……

The Marshal's Mansion of the Jingying Palace is very lively today.

When the young guards heard Lu Yu's name, they came out from everywhere, some of them were originally training in the martial arts arena, they didn't care about changing their sweat-soaked clothes, and they bounced into the hall of the palace marshal's mansion like arrows, rolling up their sleeves and showing their strong arms intentionally or unintentionally: "Doctor Lu is here!" ”

The five hundred ducks of the palace marshal's mansion began to quarrel again.

Red Arrow stood on the sidelines and watched coldly.

He didn't understand why Lu Yu was favored by so many guards in the Palace Marshal's Mansion. Obviously, the girls who have come to the palace marshal's mansion are warm and generous, gentle and bright, but Lu Yu is always cold, and she uses this cold face to win the hearts of the palace marshal's mansion.

And his own master......

Listening to Qingfeng say that Pei Yunyao pushed Chengshan's official document, he deliberately spent a day accompanying Lu Yu out of the city to visit the tea garden, so that he was busy processing the official document until midnight that night.

Red Arrow glanced at the female medical officer who was surrounded by everyone in the middle, and wondered in his heart.

Didn't Lu Yu give these colleagues a trick?

I heard that women in southern Xinjiang are good at using love Gu, and when they see the beautiful man in the Central Plains, they secretly trick each other and deceive the other party with their hearts.

Gu worms are terrifying.

He shuddered and hurried away.

Lu Yu didn't know that Red Arrow was slandered in his heart, and he was speechless when he was surrounded by the crowd.

Going to the palace marshal's mansion for diagnosis is just a reason, who knew that there were really so many guards in the palace marshal's mansion looking for her to see her. One by one, the men were strong-blooded, pointing to the abrasions the size of nails on their arms and calling her to see a doctor, and their tone was extremely aggrieved.

She also had doubts in her heart.

Everyone says that the guards in the palace marshal of the Beijing camp are selected to look at the appearance and posture, but it is not only based on the appearance and posture, so delicate, Shengjing's stability is really guaranteed?

If everyone in the Taishi Mansion was so delicate, maybe she wouldn't have to use poison, and she would be able to kill in the Taishi Mansion on her own.

Thinking like this, the movements of his hands are much faster.

It wasn't until the sunset gradually slanted that Pei Yunyao came over to drive people away, and the group of guards reluctantly dispersed.

Pei Yunyao stood at the door and smiled at Lu Yu, Lu Yu got up and packed up the medical box and followed this person into the house.

It was still the room where official documents were handled, and on the long desk with red sandalwood Polo lacquer heart by the window, there was a thick stack of official documents. The Zihao pen tip hanging on the mountain of the official kiln pen is wet, and next to it is the ink stone inkstone, and it seems that the person on the seat has just been working hard here.

He looks busy.

The young man pointed to the rosewood chair, and Lu Yu sat down on the chair.

Pei Yunyi also sat down opposite.

He smiled and asked, "Why did you come here all of a sudden?" ”

Today is not a consultation day.

Lu Yu took out a letter from his sleeve and pushed it over.

Pei Yunyi glanced at it.

The familiar envelope is the letter he sent to Lu Yu before parting after seeing the tea garden that day.

The letter with the "prescription" in it.

He reached out and took the letter, but he didn't rush to open it, but only raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yu: "Doctor Lu has read it?" ”

"Yes."

"Questions?"

"Yes."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, and when he raised his head again, he was still smiling, but his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Lu Yu's voice was calm: "It's all some tonics, the prescriptions are very exquisite, at first glance they look warm and nourish the body, but if they are mixed with one thing, the tonic becomes poison, although it will not be immediately fatal, but in the long run, the body will become weaker and weaker, and finally the heart will fail and die." ”

Pei Yunyao stared at her: "What?" ”

"Kim."

He was stunned: "Kim? ”

"Gold dust is poisonous, can cure epilepsy, loss of morale, calm the heart and soul. Generally, cough in the upper breath, typhoid fever, lung damage, vomiting blood, lung disease, and extreme thirst can be added to the pill powder to take a small amount. ”

After a pause, Lu Yu continued: "But the prescription that Master Pei gave me, if it is mixed with gold dust, there will be endless troubles. ”

He was silent, as if in deep thought.

Lu Yu continued: "The medicinal materials used in this prescription are expensive, and the family of the person who uses the medicine must be rich, if the medicine is served in a golden bowl......"

Pei Yunyao's complexion changed slightly.

If it is served in a golden bowl, there is no need to add gold dust, and the tonic will become highly poisonous, and it will not be discovered for many years. Just because the prescription and medicinal materials are harmless, the golden bowl is also harmless, but the collision between the two is dangerous and indescribable.

It's both secretive and clever.

Lu Yu lowered his eyes, and his heart was not calm.

After Pei Yunyi gave her the prescription, she studied the prescription carefully these days, but after reading it many times, she didn't notice that it was wrong. She didn't think that Pei Yunyi would give her an ordinary prescription for no reason, and she studied for a long time and couldn't figure it out, until today she talked to Lin Danqing, and when it came to the matter of medicinal properties, she suddenly figured out the key to this matter.

If gold dust is mixed with medicine, it is too obvious and can be seen at a glance. However, if it is flourished in gold bowls, although the effect is not as fast as that of gold dust, it will also kill people over the years.

She didn't know who Pei Yunyi's prescriptions came from and who prepared them, but it was common for wealthy people who could afford to use such expensive medicinal materials to use the cups and utensils they used to be rich and luxurious.

As for the Golden Bowl......

This material is precious, ordinary people can't afford it, and those who can have this asset are bound to be either rich or expensive.

As soon as I thought of this, Pei Yunyi's voice came from my ears: "Doctor Lu really has excellent medical skills. ”

Lu Yu looked at him.

He put the letter away, and he didn't care much about it, which made it difficult for people to get a glimpse of it.

"Thank you."

"No need," Lu Yu said: "Master Pei told me about the thrush case, and I tested the prescription for Lord Pei, which was a good trading condition at the beginning, which is very fair." ”

Pei Yunyi smiled: "It's really Dr. Lu's consistent style." ”

has always made a clear distinction between public and private, for fear of owing favors to others or being owed, it must be clearly distinguished, as if the business will be cut in two, and the old and dead will not get along.

He glanced out the window, the sun was setting, and the golden red glow was reflected on the window through the branches in the courtyard, and he could see half of the shadow of the setting sun in the distance.

"It's not early," Pei Yunyao retracted his gaze and got up to pick up the medical box for her, "Let's go, I'll send you out." ”

Lu Yu nodded.

When they went out, there were few people in the palace marshal's mansion, and it was evening, and the guards went to the dining hall to eat. The guards of the palace marshal's mansion grabbed food more ferociously than the medical officer's hospital, and they went late, and they didn't even have enough steamed buns left.

The sunset dyes the plantains in the small courtyard of the palace marshal's mansion with a layer of smoked red, and people walk in it, and they are also covered with a layer of fluffy warmth by the glow. In the distance, there are late spring swallows around the trees, and the dusk shows a bit of gentle quiet.

Lu Yu saw that the hut made of wood under the flowers and vines was empty, with some cotton cloth piled up indiscriminately, and an empty bowl with clear water.

Is that......

As if knowing that she was puzzled, Pei Yunyao suddenly spoke: "After you come, I asked Duan Xiaoyan to take Gardenia to the martial arts arena." ”

Lu Yu was stunned.

He said, "Don't be afraid, Doctor Lu. ”
