Seeing Ling Ruo holding Rong Yuan's hand, Shu Mulu's eyelids twitched slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Yinzhen. As a palace concubine, Niu Hulu was not allowed to get close to other men. Normally, even the imperial doctor could not diagnose her pulse.
She had to do it through a silk handkerchief, but now she took the initiative to hold a man's hand, even if she was in a hurry, let alone in front of Yinzhen.
To her surprise, she didn't find a trace of displeasure on Yinzhen's face. Instead, she stepped forward and held Ling Ruo's shoulders to comfort her: "As long as Dr. Xu is here, Hongli will be fine. Please let go quickly."
, don’t miss Dr. Xu’s treatment for Hongli and make his condition worse.”
As soon as he heard this, Ling Ruo quickly let go of his hand. After Rong Yuan lowered his head to Yinzhen, he quickly walked to the bed and wanted to diagnose Hongli's pulse. However, Hongli kept struggling and could not diagnose the pulse well at all. Rong Yuan
Yuan frowned, took out the silver needles from the medical kit he carried with him, and at the right moment, inserted them into the sleeping points behind Hongli's ears, causing him to gradually fall asleep and stop struggling.
Doctor Qi had previously thought of pricking Hongli's sleeping point to calm him down, but Hongli kept moving and it was difficult to prick him accurately even if someone pressed on him. He was old and dazzled, and he was not like Rong Yuan.
He had poor eyesight and quick hands, and there were many acupuncture points behind his ears. He was afraid that if he pricked him wrongly and something happened, he wouldn't be able to handle it, so he had people hold Hongli's hands firmly to prevent him from scratching.
After checking Rong Yuan's pulse for a while, Ling Ruo couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xu, do you know why Hongli suddenly suffered from this strange disease? Is it poisoning?"
Rong Yuan did not answer her, still concentrating on Hongli's pulse. Yinzhen comforted him: "Mr. Xu is still diagnosing his pulse. Don't disturb him."
Ling Ruo nodded helplessly, and finally waited until Rong Yuan let go of his hand. She couldn't wait to say: "How is it? How is Hongli? Can he be saved?"
Rong Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "The people can't answer the question right now. Brother Si's pulse is very messy. The people can't diagnose what's going on right now. Further inspection is needed. Please wait for a while."
Yinzhen sighed and said: "Ruo'er, you keep asking questions like this. How can I ask Imperial Physician Xu to concentrate on his observation? Listen to me and sit aside for now."
Mrs. Shu Mulu also came up and said: "Yes, Madam, I will help you sit down. Since you specially invited Dr. Xu from outside the palace, you should trust his medical skills. And I believe that Si Age is a good person and a good person.
Everything will be fine."
Ling Ruo nodded casually, but when Shu Mulu was about to help her, she said: "No need to worry, noble Hui, I just need Shuixiu to support me."
Shu Mulu retracted her hand nonchalantly and said, "Then I will sit with you and wait."
Ling Ruo ignored her and didn't look at her again. At this moment, she only had Hongli in her heart and was eager to hear the news that he was well.
Rong Yuan frowned suddenly after seeing Hongli's complexion and tongue coating on his eyelids. At this time, Zhou Minghua came over and said softly: "Master, I have seen Si Age before, and he has tongue coating and Yintang."
There are signs of poisoning, but the pulse cannot detect any trace of poisoning, which is really puzzling."
Rong Yuan nodded silently. He had never encountered such a strange thing before. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked the palace servants below, "Which one of you is personally serving the fourth elder brother?"
Little Zhengzi hurriedly stood up and said: "This slave is the personal chamberlain of Fourth Elder Brother."
"Then do you know where Brother Si was bitten by mosquitoes before?" Because Hongli's skin was scratched or even scratched in many places, and he applied medicine later, it was impossible to see where the original swelling was.
.
"This slave knows." Xiao Zhengzi stepped forward and pointed out several places where Hongli asked him to apply the medicine that morning. Those places were the most serious ones. Rong Yuan ordered someone to bring warm water and rub the medicine on it.
Wash away the medicinal powder from those areas, and then carefully examine the scratched areas.
"Master, what are you looking at?" Not only Zhou Minghua had this question, but also Doctor Qi and others. They all wondered why he looked so carefully. They could only see that he was scratched.
Rong Yuan did not answer his question, but took the silver needle and slowly pricked it in these places. If Hongli was awake, he would find that the places where Rong Yuan pricked were the most itchy places, etc.
After a while, he took out the inserted silver needles. Surprisingly, the lower ends of these silver needles all turned black.
Seeing this scene, Doctor Qi exclaimed: "The silver needle turned black? Is it really poisoning?"
It was already dark at this time, and a lamp was already on in the inner hall. After carefully looking at the silver needle and smelling it through the light, Rong Yuan said with a solemn expression: "The color is green and black, and there is a slightly spicy smell, so it must be poisonous.
"
Doctor Qi nodded and said: "According to this, Fourth Elder Brother should not have been bitten by a mosquito. No matter what kind of mosquito it is, it is absolutely impossible to have such terrible toxicity." After Rong Yuan nodded, he asked again: "
Is there any way for Dr. Xu to identify which kind of poisonous insect it is?" Only by knowing the toxicity can we prescribe the right medicine to cure Si Age's poison.
"Maybe." Rong Yuan responded and asked the palace attendant to quickly bring a bowl of water, and then find a cat or dog.
As they were talking, Shu Mulu's eyes became more solemn. Unexpectedly, this doctor Xu, who came from nowhere, was so powerful. He immediately determined that Hongli was poisoned, and it sounded like he still had a way to tell the truth.
toxicity.
However, she was not too worried. The aconite poison from the Western Regions that was inflicted on Hongli through those mosquitoes had already mutated. Otherwise, Hongli would have been directly poisoned and died, instead of being so severe and uncontrollable. The mutated
Poison, no matter how powerful Doctor Xu is, he can't even hope to detect it.
The palace attendant quickly brought in clean water and a Persian cat with snow-white fur. Rong Yuan dipped a few silver needles into the water and stirred it. The water soon became slightly turbid, and then he asked someone to feed the bowl of water to him.
Cat drinks.
The Persian cat drank a few sips of water and then walked around the room. It seemed that nothing happened. Rong Yuan didn't say anything. He just kept staring at the Persian cat. The silver needle on him must be poison. Hongli's symptoms
It was so weird that he couldn't get rid of it for a while, so he wanted to test it on cats to see if he could test the toxicity more directly.
At this time, there were several strange sounds on the bed. Although Hongli's eyes were closed, he kept turning his head, and his expression began to become painful.
Doctor Qi said anxiously: "No, the sleeping point is beginning to be unable to control Brother Si. He is about to wake up."
Rong Yuan didn't have time to speak, so he took the silver needle and stuck it on the sleeping point again, trying to make Hongli fall asleep again. Although this made Hongli calm for a while, it soon started again, and his eyelids couldn't help trembling, obviously.
The effect didn't work, and Hongli was about to wake up.
