After waiting for a while, the medicine to reduce fever and detoxification was boiled and brought in. Ling Ruo fed Hongli personally and supported him. Just when she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up, the medicine she had just drank suddenly spurted out from Hongli's mouth.
Others also fainted, and Ren Lingruo couldn't wake up no matter how hard he woke up.
"Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician!" Ling Ruo called sadly, with a look of fear on his face.
In fact, even if Ling Ruo didn't scream, Doctor Qi and the others heard the noise and rushed forward. Doctor Qi was the first to grab Hongli's wrist and check his pulse, while Zhou Minghua looked at Hongli's eyelids.
Doctor Qi murmured to himself while checking his pulse, "How could this happen?"
"Mr. Qi, what happened to Hongli? Why did he spit out the medicine?" Ling Ruolian's voice changed due to excessive panic and fear.
Doctor Qi said with an ugly face: "Fourth Brother's pulse is a bit messier than before, and something is wrong with his internal organs, making him unable to take medicine."
"Why is this happening? It wasn't that serious just now. To save Hongli, you must save Hongli!" Ling Ruo shouted with a pale face, holding Hongli's hand tightly. She was scared, really scared.
She was scared. Even when she almost died in Tongzhou, she was not as scared as she is now. Everything was fine in the morning, and Hongli had breakfast with her. Why was it like this now?
"Wei Chen will definitely do his best." As he said this, Doctor Qi's tone was more solemn than before. Hongli couldn't take the medicine, which meant that he couldn't take the medicine internally. However, relying only on external application would treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
, it is of no great use at all, and it cannot be suppressed when burned.
Ling Ruo pointed at Imperial Physician Qi and said sternly: "I don't want you to do your best, but I want you to cure Hongli!"
Doctor Qi and others stood there with their heads bowed and did not dare to speak. Shui Xiu whispered: "Master, please calm down and you will definitely find a way."
"Hongli is like this, how can you keep me calm?" Just when Ling Ruo was angry and anxious, Zhou Minghua, who was looking at Hongli's tongue coating, suddenly said: "Mr. Qi, you see there is a circle of black gas around Si elder brother's tongue coating.
It looks a bit like...poisoning."
"Poisoned?" Doctor Qi and others were all shocked and gathered around him. Doctor Qi even diagnosed the pulse again, trying to find some clues of poisoning in the chaotic pulse pattern, but no matter how carefully he tried, he couldn't diagnose the poisoning.
But what is strange is that another imperial doctor saw a circle of indistinct black marks in Hongli Yintang, which was also a symptom of poisoning.
Such a strange illness stumped even Qi Imperial Physician, a national expert. The pulse showed no symptoms of poisoning, but the tongue coating and Yintang showed poisoning and black gas. What was going on.
Seeing everyone standing there with solemn expressions and saying nothing, Ling Ruo felt her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest, so she reluctantly said, "Tell me, what's going on with Fourth Brother?"
Imperial Physician Qi said bravely: "If I tell you, Brother Si seems to have been poisoned, but his pulse is not there, so I don't dare to say for the moment."
"Isn't it just a few bites from mosquitoes? Why did you get poisoned?" Just when she couldn't accept it, she saw Shui Yue quietly walking in. She remembered what she had sent to Shui Yue before and said quickly: "Shui Yue,
Did you find anything in Brother Si's room?"
Hearing Ling Ruo calling her, Shui Yue quickly stepped forward and said: "Return to the master, I ordered people to clean the inside and outside of Brother Si's room. No poisonous insects were found, only a few mosquitoes died on the bed.
In addition, the servant found an empty silk bag under the bed, and asked the people who were waiting for the fourth elder brother, and they all said it was not the fourth elder brother. As for why it fell under the bed, no one knows."
Ling Ruo took the silk bag in her hand and took a look. It was made of purple silk. It didn't look anything special. After returning it to Shui Yue, she still didn't give up and said, "You really didn't find a poisonous insect?"
"The master has given instructions to the slave before, so the slave looked carefully, and there is indeed nothing." Shuiyue thought for a moment and said, "If there is anything strange, it is that those mosquitoes, which were obviously fine, were all dead.
"
Ling Ruo didn't say anything, but Zhou Minghua suddenly thought of something and said, "Could it be that those mosquitoes once bitten something poisonous, and then bit the fourth brother, thus transferring the poison to the fourth brother?"
Zhou Minghua is indeed a bit smart, and he guessed it right, but it is also hard for everyone to understand. Mosquitoes feed on blood, and they bite only humans and animals. There are several cats, dogs and birds in the palace.
Birds, but they are all non-poisonous, and as for people, it is even less likely. If someone is poisoned, the imperial doctor will definitely be sent to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but since Hong Sheng’s incident last time, no one in the palace has been poisoned.
poison.
Shuixiu thought for a while and said, "Could those mosquitoes fly in from outside the palace?"
"It's possible." Zhou Minghua nodded. At this time, Doctor Qi said: "Miss Shuiyue, are those mosquitoes still there?"
Shuiyue said in fear: "This... this slave has been taken away by others. I didn't know that mosquitoes are poisonous, so I didn't pay attention."
"It's a pity. If the mosquito is still there, we can use a silver needle to see if there is poisonous blood in its body. Although it can't help us determine what kind of poison it is, at least we can know the direction of medication."
Seeing Doctor Qi shaking his head repeatedly, Shui Yue hurriedly knelt down towards Ling Ruo and said, "It's all my fault for being careless and mistaken in treating Fourth Brother. Please punish me, Master."
"Don't blame those who don't know. Get up." Although Ling Ruo was disappointed, she never angered Shui Yue. Then she stared at Imperial Physician Qi and the others and said, "Then is there any way to find out whether Hongli was poisoned?"
"The situation of the fourth elder brother is too strange. Wei Chen and others dare not make any conclusions easily." Doctor Qi bowed and replied. It was related to the life of an elder brother. How could he dare to make such a conclusion easily?
Ling Ruo said irritably: "I don't want to hear this. I just want to ask you how to treat it." Even through his clothes, he could still feel the burning heat on Hongli's body.
"This..." Doctor Qi and others looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. After Ling Ruo urged him again and again, he said: "My dear, it is the medicine that contains three parts of the poison. If you are not sure that the fourth elder brother is poisoned, you will rashly use the antidote."
Medicine should be used properly, but if it is not used properly, it will endanger the life of Fourth Elder Brother. Moreover, Fourth Elder Brother cannot take the medicine at the moment, so even if a prescription is prescribed, he will not be able to take it."
"I don't care, but you must save Hongli!" Apart from these words, Ling Ruo didn't know what else she could say. Hongli was her lifeblood. She must not lose Hongli, absolutely not!
She hugged Hongli tightly and murmured: "Hongli, you promised my mother that you would hold on, you must hold on, and nothing will happen to you."
At this time, Zhou Minghua suddenly said: "Mother, I have something to report."
