Amid the donkey's braying, the army soon arrived at the capital.
Because he also escorted a general, Ling Cang was proclaimed into the palace as soon as he arrived in the capital, and he might not see him again in a short time.
Su Li returned to the Li family's house where she hadn't lived in for more than half a year.
It was winter when she left, and now, another autumn is here. The Li family's house is the same as before, but it has lost two points of popularity, and it has to be tidied up before people can live in it.
After cleaning up the house thoroughly, Su Li was still thinking about the request from the young general when she left. So she took the token and knocked on the door of Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, and was quickly welcomed in.
Unlike the Fifth Prince, Hou Ningyuan made the right decision back then, so he is quite respectable among the officials now. Therefore, the carved beams and painted buildings in this Hou's mansion are very gorgeous.
Although the young general's mother is a side branch, she has a very close relationship with the main family. After her husband died when she was young, both mother and son were taken to live in the Hou's Mansion.
Under the leadership of her servants, Su Li went to the young general's mother's yard and saw herself.
It was a young-looking woman with a very gentle temperament and a good temper. It's just that her face is a little abnormally rosy, and her steps are a little vain.
"Ma'am." Su Li saluted.
"You are the genius doctor my son was talking about? You are still so young, which is really admirable." The lady gave her a weak hand, "It is said that if there is no genius doctor, my son will be poisoned and die... Thank you so much."
Su Li smiled and said: "The doctor's mission is to save the sick and save people. This is what it should be. Madam doesn't need to do this. However, I see Madam's complexion is not good..."
Hearing what she said, the lady waved her hand and moved away from the left and right, "My son asked you to come and treat me?"
Su Li nodded, "He misses your body very much, and hopes that I can take a look at it for you."
"He has a heart." Madam stretched out her hand with a hint of longing in her eyes, "It's just that I've been sick for many years, and I'm afraid it won't be cured."
Su Li just smiled faintly, reaching out to hold her pulse.
After a while, Su Li frowned, "Ma'am..."
"What? Is it not curable? It's okay, don't worry about it."
"No, you are not sick, but poisoned." Su Li said, with some doubts in her eyes.
"Poisoning?" Madam was startled, "Isn't this a disease caused by my weak constitution? How could it be poisoning?"
"Your complexion is rosy, and you look good, but you are weak, as if something is eating your essence, right? No matter what kind of tonic you take, it is useless? It's not cold at night, and your limbs are cold. It’s the hot air attacking the heart, extremely hot, right?”
Madam nodded, "Is that so... Is this a symptom of poisoning?"
"I know that there is a kind of herbal medicine that will cause this after taking it. That kind of herbal medicine contains chronic poison. If a woman takes it frequently, the poison will accumulate in her body. If things go on like this, she will suffer a lot." Su Li's tone was light, but she said The words are unbearably frightening.
A chronic poison taken for a long time.
Is there a ghost around me
Madam clutched her heart, a little at a loss, "This... what should I do? What kind of herbal medicine is that?"
"That herb is called Hanshuang." Su Li lowered her eyes. If she remembered correctly, Li Baicao's medical books had recorded this poisonous herb in detail.
And those medical books are now in the hands of the heroine Yan Zizhu.
But Madam has been poisonous for at least four or five years.
