68. It is poison, not disease!
Gu Shangshu is not only outstanding in appearance, he was born as a Jinshi, and his knowledge is first-rate.
Now that he takes up the position of Shangshu, laymen think it is nepotism, but insiders know that although Gu Shangshu did not perform the tasks entrusted by the emperor particularly brilliantly, he has never made mistakes, and he is regarded as one of the most trusted officials by the emperor. one.
This is the first time that Gu Qianxue has entered Gu Shangshu's study room. This deity used to be ignorant, and every time he saw Gu Shangshu, he was scolded, so he naturally walked around him. Therefore, there is no picture of the study room in his body's memory.
Gu Qianxue was shocked by the books on the bookshelves in Gu Shangshu's study room. From the titles on the spine, she could tell that the books were strictly classified.
Book lovers have quirks, and this category is one of them.
It can be seen that Gu Shangshu is a true book lover.
When Gu Qianxue entered the study, Gu Shangshu was flipping through some books beside the desk, and there were several books on the side of the desk.
"Father, what do you need from me?" Qianxue said nonchalantly.
Because she suspected that Gu Shangshu's purpose was not good, Gu Qianxue didn't give him a good face.
Gu Shangshu frowned slightly, slightly displeased, but he still endured it. "How's the progress of your diagnosis for Concubine Qin?"
"It's okay." Gu Qianxue replied.
The creases between Gu Shangshu's eyebrows deepened, "How is the body of Concubine Qin?"
"Normal." Gu Qianxue said.
Gu Shangshu raised his head, as if he was angry, but seeing Gu Qianxue's unafraid and leisurely expression, he suppressed his anger again.
"Concubine Qin's first illness was madness, and the condition was dangerous. The imperial doctors only treated it as a cure for madness. They prescribed countless medicines and finally cured the madness, but the empress fell into a coma. After that, no one could cure her. .” Gu Shangshu said.
Gu Qianxue was puzzled, what did Gu Shangshu say, the plot shouldn't develop like this
"The emperor has a deep affection for Concubine Qin. He has searched all over the world for famous doctors. There are many famous doctors who have come to treat the empress, but not only can't heal the empress well, they can't even name the disease."
Gu Qianxue withdrew her previous resistance, calmed down, and listened patiently.
Gu Shangshu closed the book and sighed. "Even the old genius doctor Zhou had treated the empress, but he found nothing. It is rumored that the old doctor Zhou died of depression because of this, but he didn't know that it was a disaster or a blessing for you to take this matter."
Gu Qianxue couldn't help but sneered, and said in her heart—whether it's a blessing or a disaster, didn't you always push her out back then
Gu Shangshu pretended not to see Gu Qianxue's sneer. "The doctors invited by the emperor are all famous doctors from all over the world. Little-known quack doctors are not qualified to enter the palace to treat the empress. And these diseases that the famous and decent doctors can't treat, if you think about it, you can't treat them with conventional medical skills. .”
Gu Qianxue was taken aback, raised her head, and looked at Gu Shangshu in surprise.
It has to be said that Gu Shangshu thought about it with her, and this was what she was thinking about last night when she couldn't sleep.
Concubine Qin's illness has never been diagnosed by anyone. According to her speculation, one of the reasons is that the doctors in this era are all men. The tip of the iceberg of illness. Even women who usually do acupuncture and moxibustion for female family members, their medical skills are not worth mentioning.
Second, as Gu Shangshu said, these doctors learned great medical skills and used conventional treatments. Perhaps the poisoners had already considered this and did the opposite.
Thirdly, how many doctors have seen that Concubine Qin is a poison and not a disease
Gu Qianxue was most concerned about the third point.
Chinese medical skills are extensive and profound, Gu Qianxue does not believe that no one can see that Concubine Qin's concubine is poisoned, but so what? How could concubine Qin's poison be poisoned by ordinary people? If you say it, no matter whether it can be detoxified or not, it will also invite death!
Gu Qianxue boldly guessed that some of these doctors had already diagnosed Concubine Qin's poison, and they were also trying to detoxify, but they just didn't speak out.
Gu Shangshu continued, "These books are strange books that I collected by accident. Some are myths and legends, and some are pharmacological medical techniques. I have read them before. They are slightly different from Datong medical techniques. You can read them. I hope they will help you. You are useful."
Gu Qianxue was surprised, she never thought that Gu Shangshu called her to deliver books.
"Is there anything else?" Qianxue narrowed her eyes slightly, shouldn't she scold her for messing with his little wife
"No, go down." Gu Shangshu said.
Just like that, Gu Qianxue came out of Gu Shangshu's study dazedly with the book in her arms. The sun was shining in the sky, and it felt unreal.
Sending the book back to Tingxue Courtyard, the servant girl next to her was beaten and lay on the bed, Gu Qianxue refused the service of other maids, and went to Peony Garden alone.
Today's peony garden is very quiet.
The servants were careful not to make loud noises or sweep the floor vigorously, everything was done gently.
"Did you sleep?" Gu Qianxue couldn't help thinking.
Since Mrs. Zhao learned the games familiar to modern children such as kicking the shuttlecock, throwing sandbags, and hopscotch, she gave up nap time and played games with her maids all the time.
Not to mention that Mrs. Zhao has lost weight, the poor maids have lost weight twice.
Could it be yesterday...
Thinking about it, Gu Qianxue became more and more nervous, ignoring the soft greetings from the servants around her, and ran in quickly.
However, Mrs. Zhao was sitting at the table, with her chin resting on her two chubby little hands, her expression was confused, her eyes were looking up at the sky, and she was thinking about something.
Gu Qianxue was worried, so she walked over quietly, sat down beside Zhao Shi, "...Mother?" she asked tentatively.
Mrs. Zhao still maintained that posture, as if she didn't hear it.
"Mother, are you alright?" Qianxue raised her voice, startling Zhao Shi.
Mrs. Zhao didn't know when Gu Qianxue sat beside her. "You... when did you come... come?" He stuttered, his fat face, which was originally pink and white, suddenly flushed red.
Gu Qianxue put her hand on Zhao's forehead, "Are you uncomfortable?" Her body temperature was normal.
"No...no." As Zhao said, her eyes wandered, looking up and down, but she didn't know where to look.
"Is it related to father?" Gu Qianxue asked tentatively.
Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Mrs. Zhao covered her face with her hands and shook her head desperately, "No, no, no, no!"
Gu Qianxue was lost in thought.
After a while, Qianxue's expression was cautious, her eyes fixed on Zhao Shi, capturing the subtle facial expressions. "Mother, answer me honestly, last night...how did you live?"
Once again, Mrs. Zhao yelped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and then crazily ran to the bed, stuffed her head into the neatly folded quilt, and left her body outside, like an ostrich.
Gu Qianxue is completely Spartan!
——Gu Shangshu, you beast, you dare to talk to someone like Mrs. Zhao! good! very good! She, Gu Qianxue, has never admired anyone in her life, but now she does!
——Gu Shangshu, just because you are so ruthless and shameless, she, Gu Qianxue, has recognized you as a cheap father, don't you want to strengthen the Gu family? OK, count her as Gu Qianxue.
