It was an acquaintance who came, Shen Muxi only took a look and quickly retreated to the backyard.
"What's wrong?" A Luo was very puzzled.
"I've met, but the situation was special." Shen Muxi thought for a while, then asked A Luo to get a light gauze to cover her face, and then went to the front hall for consultation.
Here comes the peony, the peony of Rouge House.
But today she is well dressed, not as elegant and enchanting as that night.
Peony's complexion is not very good. After fading her makeup, her eyes are slightly black and blue, the whites of her eyes are dry and yellow, her complexion is blue and her lips are pale. Sitting in front of the medical case, she looks embarrassed and flustered.
Shen Muxi sat down, "Young lady's complexion is not good."
"You are Dr. Shen?" Mudan straightened her posture, as if she was afraid that people would see her as a brothel girl, when the time comes...
"Yes!" Shen Muxi nodded, and silently took out the pulse pillow.
Mudan was a little flustered, "I heard that His Royal Highness ordered someone to place this place. Dr. Shen cured his illness with a pair of prescriptions. My lord... Mudan came here just for the name, wondering if Dr. Shen can save me?"
Shen Muxi looked her up and down carefully, secretly taken aback in his heart, he had never seen such an effect of the medicine before, but now it looks like the poison has penetrated into the bone marrow, how could it be so fast? The last pulse detection, obviously...
"Girl, don't be impatient, let me have a look!" Shen Muxi touched her wrist.
The heart is getting heavier and heavier, this poison seems to have changed, it has become more ruthless, it is eroding the blood, and in a few days it will be completely integrated with the flesh and blood. Once this is the case, if you want to pull it out, it will be difficult for gods.
Rao has an antidote, but it doesn't help.
"How?" Mudan asked hastily, seeing Shen Muxi withdrawing his hands with a dignified expression, her heart became even more flustered.
"Dare to ask girl, how did you get such a disease?" Shen Muxi asked tentatively, "Oh, that's right, if you can give a general idea, I can think about the diagnosis, otherwise it's hard to say for sure."
Hearing this, Mudan's face was ashamed.
"It's a long story." Mudan sighed softly, "I got it by accident. It was just a shopkeeper who passed by, picked up some things and sent him away. That night, there was something strange. At first, I thought The skin was a little itchy, and then a rash appeared, and there was no movement after that. I thought it was something I ate, so I didn't think much about it."
After a pause, Mudan lowered her eyes, "Later, I met a wandering doctor. He said that I had a strange complexion and that I had a hidden disease without knowing it. I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't really take it to heart. After knowing it, I often I heard someone talking in my ear in the middle of the night, and it became more and more serious after a long time, and I could hear it more clearly."
A Luo on the side was taken aback. Isn't this exactly the same symptom as Luo Nanchen described? Could it be that he is another fake who wants to harm Dr. Shen
Thinking of this, A Luo quietly retreated to the side of the medicine cabinet, carefully touched the medicine pestle, quickly held it in his hand, and hid it in his sleeve, then quietly returned to stand beside Shen Muxi.
In everything, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
"What happened later?" Shen Muxi asked.
Peony seemed very cautious, and looked towards the door twice before speaking. The next moment, her eyes suddenly shone slightly, and she stood up abruptly, so startled that Ah Luo almost rushed up holding the pestle.
Fortunately, Mudan didn't do anything, but said anxiously, "Sorry, I just remembered that I still have something to do. Dr. Shen, you can definitely save me, right? I'll come back tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay!" Shen Muxi nodded.
She won't be able to detoxify the poison on Mudan's body for a while, and it doesn't matter if it comes tomorrow.
Before leaving, Mudan looked back at her, "Mr. Shen, I always feel like I've seen you somewhere before. Have we met before?"
Shen Muxi smiled through the veil, "I've been here for a long time, I'm afraid you passed the street, and you really have met several times."
"Oh!" Peony nodded thoughtfully, and hurried away.
Standing at the door, Shen Muxi tore off her veil, watching Peony running away anxiously, as if something serious happened.
A Luo heaved a sigh of relief, and put the pestle back, causing the little drug boy to stare at her in confusion for a long time, probably wondering why Miss A Luo was so interested in the pestle? "Doctor Shen?" Ah Luo stepped forward, "What's wrong with you?"
"Her poison seems to have changed!" Shen Muxi muttered in a low voice, "It's different from what I detected before, what's going on? Could it be possible to produce changes in the host body?"
Ah Luo was puzzled, "What variable?"
Shen Muxi shook his head, "It's very dangerous!"
"Look, isn't it alright? You can talk and run." A Luo frowned.
"It's almost empty!" Shen Muxi turned and walked towards the second floor. She was dubious about Mudan's words. Those who came out of the Rouge House may not be telling the truth, it may be half true or false!
Survival is true, confession is false.
There are a lot of wind-heat symptoms coming in, and I am greedy for cold in summer, and the injury is not easy to heal, so I have to go to the medical clinic to get medicine.
In the evening, Chunxiu went to the palace to pick up the child, and Shen Muxi led A Luo back to Liwang's mansion.
When passing by the street, Ah Luo suddenly covered his mouth and nose and said, "Why is there such a strong smell on the street?"
Shen Muxi also noticed that the smell was very similar to the smell of a dead cat in the backyard. Could it be that the guy didn't take out the dead cat and bury it, but left it at a street corner? I looked around and couldn't see it.
"It's really strange, there was none yesterday." Shen Muxi said.
A Luo nodded, "I'll ask!"
After a while, Ah Luo came back, panting, "I asked, and it was said that a dead cat ran into the yard last night and died in the store. It can be seen that it's not just our family who got into the dead cat!"
"Where are there so many dead cats?" Shen Muxi seemed to have thought of something, "That cat..."
"They all have no eyeballs, they are blind cats!" Ah Luo had long thought that Shen Muxi would ask, so when he went to inquire, he deliberately kept his eyes open.
Shen Muxi sighed, "It's really strange!"
"This cat dies as soon as it dies, why does it smell so strong?" A Luo didn't understand.
"Go!" Shen Muxi dragged A Luo into a shop.
A large number of soldiers were running on the street. The sound of armor and footsteps was shocking, causing the people to stop and look around. They didn't know what happened for a while.
Shen Muxi and A Luo also came out, stood in front of the shop, looked at the situation, looked at each other, and hurried back to the Ye Wang Mansion.
It's not safe on the street, it's better to go back earlier.
After entering Wen Xia Pavilion, Bo Yunxiu and Mi Li were not there, and Shen Muxi went directly to the medicine house.
"Doctor Shen?" Ah Luo frowned, watching Shen Muxi pour the black blood from the porcelain bottle into the alchemy furnace, "What are you doing?"
This blood was still obtained from the cat's corpse.
Shen Muxi entered the shop at that time, opened the cat's belly and checked it. The outer skin looked like a newly dead cat, but in fact, the internal organs were already rotten, so the cat looked like it had just died, but it stinks like this.
"The skin is not rotten but the internal organs are rotten, which is enough to prove that these cats are definitely raised by people or used as hosts." Shen Muxi covered the alchemy furnace and carefully placed it in the corner, "If this thing is abnormal tomorrow, it means My guess was right!"
A Luo was worried, "Doctor Shen, if there is really something abnormal, what should I do?"
"Then you have to know where these blind cats come from." Shen Muxi had a headache, "By the way, go and ask, what's going on outside? I guess it has something to do with the Guan family's affairs."
"Hey!" Ah Luo nodded and left quickly.
With so many soldiers rushing out, maybe they found Guan Aotian's whereabouts.
Bo Yunxiu and Mi Li didn't return all night, but it was Bu Tang hiding in the room on the second floor of the medical hall with blood on his body early the next morning.
When we first met, A Luo almost screamed, but fortunately Bu Tang quickly covered her mouth, "Shut up, go and find Shen Muxi!"
Bu Tang's martial arts is so high that he seldom meets opponents, so Shen Muxi was really startled when he heard A Luo came to look for him, and hurried up with the medicine box. Seeing the blood on Bu Tang's shoulder, Shen Muxi's face tightened, "This is a sword wound!"
The wound was deep, skin to bone.
"Fortunately, if it is any deeper, your shoulder blade will be cut off!" Shen Muxi looked solemn, "Be patient, I will clean your wound first, and then apply medicine to you, it will be very painful!"
Judging from the condition of the wound, it should have been injured last night. This will cause the blood to coagulate, which shows that it took a lot of time.
"What's going on with you?" Shen Muxi asked.
Bu Tang was dripping with cold sweat, but his expression remained unchanged, "Last night outside the city, I encountered an ambush. When people walk in the rivers and lakes, there will be enemies to some extent. Injuries are inevitable, it's nothing serious!"
A Luo looked at Butang's bloody wound, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.
Shen Muxi had lingering fears. Butang's wound was deep, and it happened to be on his right shoulder. It can be seen that the other party wanted to directly destroy Butang's right hand. However, Butang's light work was excellent, so he escaped.
After the dressing was finished, Shen Muxi asked Ah Luo to decoct the medicine.
Only Shen Muxi and Butang are left in the room, and they can open up to say something.
Shen Muxi took a clean dress and handed it to Bu Tang. He couldn't keep wearing blood-stained clothes, otherwise he would be suspected, "You tell the truth, who hurt you? Xiao Tang, you are so good at martial arts, not everyone Can get close to you, unless you are unprepared, or that person's martial arts are far superior to yours."
"I was unprepared!" Bu Tang's face darkened, "Too many things happened last night, I can't explain clearly for a while, Dr. Shen, give me some time, I will tell you later, just now Stop asking."
"Within half a month, you must not do anything, otherwise your arm will be useless!" Shen Muxi reminded, "Do you remember?"
Bu Tang didn't speak, she was the one who lived on the tip of the sword, if she couldn't hold the sword, it would be her life!
"If you don't want to lose your sword for the rest of your life, you'd better listen to me!" Shen Muxi was not threatening, "You will live here for a few days, so I can take care of you, don't run around anymore!"
"I… "
"Don't refuse!" Shen Muxi interrupted Bu Tang directly.
Bu Tang was a little stunned, staring at Shen Muxi in a daze, without saying a word for a long while.
"I'll go see if your medicine is ready." Shen Muxi stepped out.
After closing the door, Bu Tang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, still silent.
Ah Luo was decocting medicine in the backyard, "Doctor Shen, don't you think Xiaotang is a little strange? Her martial arts are so good, even if there was an ambush, she wouldn't be injured so badly. Also, last night..."
"Last night, a large number of soldiers rushed out of the city. Xiaotang was also injured outside the city. I was also worried about this, so I asked her to stay in the hospital and not run around. This is the residence of the Prince Li, and no one is there. Dare to search easily, it is safe for her." Shen Muxi took the chopsticks and carefully fiddled with the medicinal materials in the medicine jar, "Xiaotang saved me, I can't watch her have an accident."
Regardless of whether Butang was injured or whether it was related to the sergeant's departure from the city last night, Butang was always Butang, the one who had saved her and helped her.
A Luo nodded, no more words.
Because the soup contained some soothing ingredients, Bu Tang fell asleep after taking the medicine, and A Luo watched from the side, lest Bu Tang wake up and leave quietly. Chunxiu doesn't know how to take medicine, and she can't be idle, so she goes for a stroll in the street after noon, always looking for small things to bring back to make Shen Zhi happy.
"I heard no, last night, the Yuelao Temple outside the city was very noisy."
Chunxiu was leaning on the pillar of the street and gnawing on the braised pig's trotters, when he heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears.
"Say it's haunted, female ghost in white!"
Chewing tendons, Chunxiu blinked her eyes, a female ghost appeared in Yuelao Temple? Then Yue Lao can't fight with the female ghost? The people in Dongdu are really capable of making up nonsense, and they can also make up such things.
"No, I heard that many soldiers were lost."
Chunxiu licked the oil on the corner of her lips, so she really died last night? Could it be related to Xiaotang? Thinking of this, Chunxiu turned her head and looked at the two long-clothed men chewing their tongues.
One person said, "What I heard is not a white-clothed female ghost, but a cat demon!"
"No, no, it's a female ghost in white, not a cat demon!" Another person argued.
Chunxiu spat out the pig bone in her mouth, and asked the two of them in a subdued voice, "Is it a female ghost or a cat demon?"
"Female ghost!"
"Cat demon!"
"Oh, it's a female ghost!"
"No, it's a cat demon!"
Chunxiu rolled her eyes, "You two idiots!"
"Hey, why are you swearing at people?" The two yelled at Chunxiu.
Chunxiu didn't bother to talk about it, so when she encountered such a thing, she had to go back and tell Dr. Shen that if it really had something to do with Bu Tang, Dr. Shen must take precautions early. It's just that there is a cat demon and a female ghost this time, which one is real
Or, neither is true
Ah Luo actually listened with great interest, and he thought he was listening to Chunxiu's storytelling.
"What I said is true!" Chunxiu patted her thigh, "It's true, truer than pearls, and now people on the street are talking about it! Some say it's a female ghost and some say it's a cat demon. know which is true…”
"It's all true!" A familiar voice came from outside.
Sun Daoxian entered the door casually, the dog-legged Desheng was holding a plate of pastries in his hand, and the servant behind him was still holding a cup. No one in the hospital welcomes this prodigal son, but he is very thick-skinned, he sits down when he comes, eats when he sits down, he doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all, looks at everyone's eyes, just like looking at his own slaves .
Shen Muxi signaled Chunxiu and A Luo not to be nervous, this is the medical center owned by Li Wangfu, and Sun Daoxian would not dare to make a mistake.
"Let me tell you, I know what happened last night best!" Sun Daoxian put his legs up on the consultation table, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at the crowd seriously, "Last night, there was news that Guan Aotian died. In the Yuelao Temple outside the city, the prince personally commanded and led the crowd out of the city. Who knew it was a trap, some people saw the white shadow, and some people heard a lot of meowing."
cat
Shen Muxi felt a little sick, thinking of the dead cat in the backyard.
Sun Daoxian continued, "I didn't see what happened at that time, but I heard people say that the white shadow was like a ghost, unable to catch it and take it down, it damaged many soldiers, and even Mi Li couldn't subdue it In the end, King Li personally took action and severely injured the white shadow, so that we know that it is not a female ghost in white at all, but a human disguise."
A Luo and Chunxiu looked at each other, vaguely feeling that this white shadow might be Bu Tang.
Thinking about it, only His Royal Highness Li Wang can hurt Bu Tang like this!
"The lord made a move?" Shen Muxi only knew that Bo Yunxiu's martial arts were not weak, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful. Shen Muxi has seen how high Butang's martial arts are, but now even Butang is no match for Bo Yunxiu, one can imagine...
"I heard it was shot!" Sun Daoxian sipped his tea and continued, "I tell you, it's all true!"
Shen Muxi deliberately probed, "Since what you said is true, let me ask you, is the prince using a knife or a sword? I have never noticed that he has the habit of carrying a sword."
"It's a sword!" Sun Daoxian became interested, and said with a playful smile at Shen Muxi, "Doctor Shen, I'm so honest, do you think I'm a good person? Let me tell you, I..."
Chunxiu threw the knife over with a sharp look, Sun Daoxian's body shook suddenly, and the words he hadn't finished speaking automatically choked back into his stomach.
"I don't think you are honest, you are honest!" Chunxiu put her hands on her hips, "Grandson, I think you have committed an old problem again!"
Ah Luo snickered, Sun Daoxian put down his legs quickly, this woman is not easy to mess with, whenever he saw her, he would feel frightened, his legs trembled uncontrollably, wondering if it was because of her scaring him before.
"Um... That Doctor Shen, my son came today to ask you if you are free in three days? There is a lotus feast in the palace. I am not... wow..." Before finishing speaking, Sun Daoxian ran away, He stumbled at the door and fell out of the hospital hall.
Chunxiu rushed to the door with a kitchen knife, pointed at Sun Daoxian's fleeing back and cursed, "If you dare to attack my doctor Shen again, I will chop you up!"
A Luo covered her mouth and snickered, turned to look at Shen Muxi, but saw that his face was slightly gloomy, as if he was preoccupied.
"Doctor Shen?" Ah Luo frowned, "Are you worried about Xiaotang?"
Bu Tang suffered a sword wound, which is consistent with what Sun Daoxian said just now. Does this mean that she was injured by Bo Yunxiu, and Guan Aotian...may be in Bu Tang's hands.
But, why did Bu Tang arrest Guan Aotian
Go upstairs and open the door.
The room was empty, and there was no trace of Bu Tang.
"Xiaotang?" Shen Muxi was stunned.
There is a piece of paper on the table, which was left by Bu Tang: Thank you, farewell!
Probably written by the left hand, the handwriting is crooked.
"Where are people?" Chunxiu asked hurriedly.
"Let's go!" Shen Muxi sighed softly, there were too many questions in his mind, he couldn't ask clearly, so he could only talk about it next time. From the first time she saw Bu Tang, she had doubts in her heart, and she felt vaguely familiar. But because Bu Tang and Lu Guizhou seemed to be familiar with each other, she didn't go to the bottom of it, and just regarded it as a chivalrous woman.
Bu Tang came and went without a trace, as if she was hiding something, every time she looked at her, there was always a trace of unbearable in her eyes, full of complex colors.
"Yan Luo of the Ten Palaces?" Shen Muxi vaguely remembered that Bu Tang had mentioned these four words. She has never been in the rivers and lakes, so she doesn't know what it is, but she clearly remembers the frightened look on Hua Laoqi's face when she heard these four words.
That should be a very powerful Jianghu sect or organization, right
Is Guan Aotian really in Bu Tang's hands
Today's Bo Yunxiu seemed to be waiting for her deliberately, as soon as she came back, she saw him sitting in the flower gallery, while Mi Li was standing far away.
A Luo immediately saluted and stepped back quickly.
Shen Muxi was a little guilty, for fear that the matter of taking in Butang would be brought to Bo Yunxiu's place. If this guy were to be held accountable, the crime of harboring imperial court criminals was not small, and she really couldn't bear it.
"Why is your lord so upbeat today?" Shen Muxi tried to change the subject.
"This king is waiting for you on purpose!" Bao Yunxiu gave her a gouged look, his whole body cold.
This look made her heart shudder. She almost kicked his descendants last time. Could it be that he wants to settle accounts after the fall? Thinking that he was the one who was frivolous last time, Shen Muxi straightened up again, "What is the meaning of this, my lord?"
"Look for yourself!" He reached out and handed her a post.
Shen Muxi was stunned, and took it carefully, but it was an invitation card from the emperor, it said that two days later, he would enjoy the banquet in the Lotus Palace, and Shen Muxi was invited to enter the palace for the banquet.
But she is just a doctor, not a royal family or aristocrat. It stands to reason that this kind of palace banquet is attended by married women, and they enjoy it with the concubines in the harem. What's more, this kind of harem banquet is often presided over by the queen mother or empress, and the emperor will not intervene. Right now, it is an invitation from the emperor... It feels like there is no money here.
Shen Muxi stared at Bao Yunxiu with burning eyes, "My lord, this is really the emperor..."
"Do you want to go or not!" Bo Yunxiu got up and left.
Before she had time to say anything, he walked so fast, how dare he say that he had no ghosts in his heart? However, the invitation card given by the emperor is equivalent to the imperial decree, and if you don't go, you will resist the decree.
Bo Yunxiu has created a problem for her!
Not only confiscating the token given to her by the emperor, but also giving her an invitation card from the emperor, wondering whether she is going to find him and beg him to take her into the palace?
With a sigh, Shen Muxi only felt a headache, accepted the post and walked towards the medicine shed in the backyard.
The alchemy furnace has undergone changes, and the cat's blood inside has become unstoppably stinky, and mutations can be seen vaguely, so these cats really have problems. But what exactly is the problem needs to be investigated again and tried with various drugs.
It's really a wave of ups and downs, who took these innocent little lives to be the host of the poison
This matter is probably not that simple!
The next day, Shen Zhi went to Nanyuan Pavilion.
Wei Xian'er waited in the medical hall, A Luo's first reaction was that kind people don't come, and those who come are not kind.
"Doctor Shen!" Wei Xian'er smiled, "Don't get me wrong, I came here abruptly today, but I'm really sincere. Tomorrow is the Lotus Appreciation Ceremony. I thought that Doctor Shen should be familiar with him when he first came to Dongdu. The lord previously wanted to make Dr. Shen the right concubine, sooner or later Dr. Shen will deal with all the ladies, and now is a good time."
Shen Muxi frowned slightly and remained silent.
Wei Xian'er stepped forward with a sincere expression, "I have reported this matter to the Empress Dowager, please rest assured to enter the palace, Dr. Shen."
Fortunately, Bo Yunxiu gave her a post in advance, so she was mentally prepared. "Don't worry about Concubine Wei, the prince has already planned this matter for me, and I have given the invitation to the emperor to reward the lotus meeting, I know it well!" Shen Muxi flicked his sleeves, "If Concubine Wei is fine, please invite me Come back! The medical hall is full of common people, if you stay here, no one will dare to come to the door again."
Wei Xian'er closed her eyes, but she was also sensible, and left with a smile.
"The weasel pays the chicken a New Year greeting!" A Luo gritted his molars and stared at the direction Wei Xian'er left.
Shen Muxi was not so angry, thinking that Wei Xian'er invited her into the palace, it must be a banquet without a good banquet, and if it is not complete, it is a well-drained Hongmen banquet. If she rashly enters the palace for a banquet, and is unfamiliar with the place and has no backing, she will definitely suffer a big loss.
What's more, there is the big Buddha statue of the Queen Mother in the palace. If something goes wrong, the pot of shit will definitely be put on her head. It is useless to put myself in danger just for one breath.
Can't go, can't go!
After a while, the street seemed to be bustling again, but this time it was the yamen servants from Dongdufu who ran over.
A Luo stood at the door and looked around, watching a group of people rushing over in a hurry, the common people were chattering, it seemed that something happened to the Rouge Building. What exactly happened, no one can tell.
"Rouge Building?" Shen Muxi frowned, "Go and see!"
"Doctor Shen? Doctor Shen, where are you going? I..." the shopkeeper screamed, he just made up the list of the few medicines that were missing yesterday, and he is waiting for her to look at them!
When Shen Muxi arrived at the gate of the Yanzhi Building, there were already many people watching the excitement at the gate, and everyone was talking about it, saying that there was a girl in the Yanzhi Building who was bewitched by a demon, and she looked crazy.
Noises and screams came from inside the building.
Ah Luo helped Shen Muxi squeeze in, trying to get in front of the crowd.
The servants in the government office stopped the people and did not allow anyone to get close to the gate of the Rouge Building. Shen Muxi looked inside with his feet on his feet, and there was a clear roar in his ears. The "squeak" sound of scratching on the stone.
"Doctor Shen?" Ah Luo rubbed his arms, "That sounds scary!"
Just as Shen Muxi was about to speak, he suddenly saw a figure rushing out from the door.
"It's Miss Mudan!" There were many regular customers of Yanzhi Building in the crowd, and they immediately recognized the woman with her neck up, as if roaring towards the sky, as Mudan.
The yamen servants wanted to stop her, but they didn't dare to step forward easily.
Peony raised her head, her neck stretched out straight, and the veins on her neck were very clear under the sun. Red lines were like vines, covering the entire neck, spreading to the cheeks, painted with Kodan's slender fingertips, scratching her neck, as if something was blocking her throat, she wanted to pull these things out with her hands .
The crowd was silent for a moment, their eyes widened as they watched Peony make a strange sound like a ghost. The red line on her neck spread to her entire face at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the same was true on the back of her hand.
Shen Muxi came back to her senses abruptly, and quickly took out the needle bag from her small bag, but before she could rush up, Mudan suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground with a thud, her blood-colored eyes widened, just staring at her. Focusing on Shen Muxi's direction, he didn't move any more.
The yamen servant hastily stretched out his hand to test his breath, "I'm out of breath!"
died? !
