70, stiff limbs scattered
If there is no Zhao family, perhaps Gu Qianxue would not have read those books at all. It can be said that Gu Qianxue did not have a good impression of the cheap father in the past.
The maidservant who kept watch in the outer room had already fallen asleep, the window was half open, and the evening breeze was slightly cool, blowing a little from the window.
It was already late at night, but Gu Qianxue became more and more awake, and it could even be said that she was completely shocked.
She sat up from the bed all at once, her hands holding the pages of the book trembled slightly, and her eyes were wide open.
"Frozen limbs?"
Zongli San is a kind of poison made from more than 40 kinds of herbs such as centipede poison, Bailingcao and Dukucao. Zangli San is colorless and tasteless, and its medicinal properties are both slow and strong. The slow is because its action is slow, and the strong is because the poison enters the body and starts to work, slowly invading the human body.
When the toxicity reaches a certain level, it will start to attack. It is manifested by loss of control of the vocal cords and muscle spasms. When the poison occurs, people will yell, and the voice is weird and terrifying, the body is out of control, and it looks like... Madness!
Afterwards, the symptoms of madness lasted for about three months, entering the final stage—the stage of rigid limbs. The performance is that the eyes of the poisoned person are closed, motionless, the muscles of the whole body are stiff, uncontrollable, and they appear to be in a coma until they die.
This "Zombie Limbs" is exactly the same as what Gu Qianxue guessed before!
Gu Qianxue put down the book and slowly closed her eyes. She was so excited that she couldn't breathe. After a long while, she let out a deep breath.
Today is really her lucky day, she is saved.
In modern times, there is also a disease similar to Qin Fei's, called Stiff Man Syndrome.
Stiff person syndrome is a rare, severe central nervous system disorder characterized by excessive muscle contraction of the trunk and lower extremities, with myalgic muscle spasms.
Even in modern times where medical technology is extremely advanced, there is no cure for this disease. Those who suffer from this disease can only be alleviated, and eventually die slowly.
Although Concubine Qin's illness was different from the Stiff Man Syndrome, Gu Qianxue was afraid that Concubine Qin had this kind of illness that could not be cured at all.
Now, knowing that there is the poison of "Zangli San", and that all of Concubine Qin's symptoms can correspond to Zangli San, she is half relieved.
Of course, this heart can only let go of half, and the other half of the heart cannot be let go, because even if the poison of stiff limbs is cured, the patient cannot be cured.
Because the poison of Zangli Powder works slowly and is irreversible. Even if the poison is detoxified, the damage caused in the past cannot be healed naturally.
Gu Qianxue lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed, put on her clothes and rushed to the study.
All night, the lights in the study were not turned off.
On the second day, before dawn, Gu Qianxue rushed to Prince Li's Mansion on foot with the medicine box in her arms.
Because it was too early, the coachman who sent Gu Qianxue out on weekdays hadn't woken up yet, and she didn't intend to disturb the coachman's sleep. It happened that she hadn't slept all night and her mind was chaotic. She took the opportunity of walking to Prince Li's mansion to clear her mind and smooth her thoughts again. .
When Gu Qianxue was about to arrive at Prince Li's Mansion, it was daylight.
After nearly an hour of walking, the frenzy in my mind calmed down a bit, and many problems were discovered. For example, whether a doctor discovered the poison in the past, such as, whether there was a prescription prescribed by a doctor that happened to relieve some of the properties of the medicine.
After all, if there was no treatment, Concubine Qin might have died long ago, but she survived for a few years. It must be that some doctor's prescription accidentally included the antidote.
According to Gu Qianxue's guess, the reason why the doctors did not cure Concubine Qin's illness was that the doctors must have never read that book.
Ridiculous to say, that book turned out to be a strange novel. Just as Gu Shangshu said, the doctors invited by the emperor and King Li are all famous doctors who have learned the medical skills of Datong. Who can be free to read strange novels? In Nanyue Country, only those prodigal sons who don't do their jobs look at this kind of stuff.
Two, apart from cutting the pulse, the doctors couldn't contact Concubine Qin directly, let alone understand her illness.
In ancient China, there were no female doctors. Those who diagnosed diseases for the concubines in the harem were all medical women taught by imperial physicians. Among the people, they were old mothers with a little knowledge of medical skills. It is precisely because of the lack of female doctors that many women died tragically of illness in a feudal society where men and women were separated.
Gu Qianxue was thinking about it, when suddenly a high-pitched voice shouted, "Bold Gu Qianxue, seeing His Highness Li Wang, is not polite!"
Gu Qianxue was taken aback for a moment, stopped in her tracks, looked up, and saw Li Wang's motorcade.
And King Li, who was dressed in a pure black brocade robe, was looking at her coldly beside the chariot not far away.
Gu Qianxue was taken aback, she looked up and saw that she had reached Prince Li's Mansion at some point in time, and the gold plaque on the black background was engraved with the words Prince Li's Mansion, but she was immersed in her thoughts and didn't notice it.
Seeing King Li, Gu Qianxue thought of Yulian Yucui, the two injured girls lying on the bed, and felt full of anger.
If possible, Gu Qianxue really wanted to rush up and beat up this hateful man.
Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth again.
When Eunuch Shao saw Gu Qianxue staring blankly at King Li, his face was full of hatred, and he sweated hard for this desperate little girl.
Walking quickly to Gu Qianxue's side, she lowered her voice. "Hurry up and salute Your Highness, why are you so reckless, girl? If this continues, not to mention our family, even Mother Shen will not be able to protect you." At the end, she sighed again in a low voice, "Oh, Shen Mommy, it's not that our family doesn't help you protect this girl, it's really that she wants to die by herself."
Only then did Gu Qianxue take a deep breath, and while suppressing her anger, she told herself that this is the era of cannibalism, this is the feudal centralized state, forget about "everyone is equal".
"The daughter of the people has met His Royal Highness Li Wang." While muttering, she blessed her lower body perfunctorily, and then took advantage of Shao Gonggong's inattention, turned around and sneaked into the gate of Li Wang's mansion.
"Bold!" Eunuch Shao was in a panic. He only regretted why he didn't push this lifeless girl to the ground with his own hands just now, forcing her to kneel down.
But it never occurred to him that King Li just cast a glance at Gu Qianxue, then turned around and got into the carriage.
Eunuch Shao was dumbfounded, His Highness seems to be... in a good mood today, he was obviously offended, why didn't he get angry
Nanshan Courtyard.
When Gu Qianxue arrived, she ran into Nanny Shen feeding Concubine Qin breakfast with her own hands.
"Miss Gu, why did you arrive so early today?" Nanny Shen was puzzled.
Gu Qianxue was embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I also know it's impolite to come so early, but Concubine Qin's illness is urgent, and I must hurry up, so I can only come early.
Seeing Gu Qianxue's serious face, Shen Momo was both happy and afraid.
Fortunately, she guessed that Gu Qianxue had found the root cause of her illness.
What she's afraid of is, she's afraid... This disease is more serious than previously expected.
After handing over the soup bowls to other maidservants, Mother Shen hurried to Gu Qianxue's side. "Miss Gu, what can this old slave do?"
"Prescription!" Gu Qianxue frowned, "Give me all the prescriptions prescribed by all the doctors in the past."
71. See you late at night
