71. See you late at night
The palace is no different from ordinary people's houses. Not only do they keep all the prescriptions, but even the personal information of each doctor is bound into a book, which saves Gu Qianxue a lot of effort.
The poison of Zhanli San is composed of more than 40 kinds of herbs, and there are more than 80 kinds of antidotes. Most of the medicines prescribed by doctors are medicines for promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals. Only some senior famous doctors prescribe some antidotes , had some intersection with that antidote.
Among them, the prescriptions prescribed by a doctor surnamed Zhou contained the most antidote ingredients, and the prescriptions were also the most rigorous.
Gu Qianxue immediately looked through the index, found Doctor Zhou's biography and address, and found that Doctor Zhou was none other than Zhou Rongqiu's grandfather, the old genius doctor Zhou.
This turn, is a full two hours.
Gu Qianxue was still ecstatically flipping through the pages, but her stomach grumbled.
Shen Momo stayed by her side all the time, "Miss Gu, it's almost time for lunch, so you can stay for lunch."
"No, I'll read all these prescriptions." Gu Qianxue didn't raise her head.
But how can the prescription be so easy to read? Let's not talk about how many doctors have diagnosed Concubine Qin, just say that one doctor can prescribe many medicines.
One hundred pages of prescriptions are one volume, and there are as many as ten volumes!
Gu Qianxue flipped through it carefully, studied it carefully, corresponding to the indexes of various doctors, and was still taking notes on the side.
Mother Shen said, "Miss Gu, please listen to the old slave. Your mother's illness has lasted for a day and a half. I'm afraid you didn't rest last night. If you don't eat well today and become exhausted, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Gu Qianxue forced a smile, "I slept last night."
Mother Shen smiled and said, "Miss Gu, don't hide it. In the past ten years, I have seen many doctors and learned some medical skills. I can guess a thing or two by looking at Miss Gu's face."
Gu Qianxue was embarrassed.
Mother Shen called the maid to bring the food.
The cooking skills of the royal family's cooks can't be compared with the cooks of ordinary people. The dishes are delicious in color, fragrance and taste, and the soup is even more fragrant and delicious, but Gu Qianxue is not in the mood to taste it. After swallowing the jujube whole, he immersed himself in research again.
The side room was quiet, only Gu Qianxue was alone, and Nanny Shen would come here from time to time, lightly, and personally bring refreshments for her.
But the hot tea was cold one pot after another, but Qian Xue didn't take a sip.
Slowly, the sky darkened.
Nanny Shen looked at the sky outside the window, then at Gu Qianxue who was still immersed in her research, hesitated to speak, and finally followed her selfishness, shut her mouth and let her delve into it.
The room was getting darker and darker. A maid came in and lit a candle, but Gu Qianxue, who was so focused, didn't notice it.
Just like that, before I knew it, the night was getting late.
When Gu Qianxue read all the prescriptions, it was already the second watch.
When she raised her head, she felt her neck bones creaking. Gu Qianxue rubbed the back of her neck and turned her head to look out the window, startled. "What time is it?"
The little maid who stood guard said, "Miss Looking Back, it's already the second watch."
"Oops, I actually forgot the time." As he spoke, he got up and quickly packed up the prescription booklets, stuffed the booklets he wrote down into the medicine box, and ran out the door with the medicine box in his arms.
Before leaving the hospital, she saw Mother Shen leading a few maidservants carrying food boxes inside.
Shen Momo smiled and said, "Miss Gu is hungry, the old servant specially ordered someone to prepare a midnight snack." She was very kind.
Gu Qianxue declined, "Thank you, Mother Shen, but it's getting late, I think I can go back."
Mother Shen looked a little embarrassed, "Well... Miss Gu, it's getting late, so don't go back tonight, just stay here, the guest room has been cleaned up for you."
"That's not allowed." Gu Qianxue refused without even thinking about it. After all, this is Prince Li's Mansion, a man's home. She doesn't have the habit of staying in a man's house at night. Besides, the Zhao family will wait for her to come home. Traditionally, if she didn't go back, wouldn't Mrs. Zhao have to wait for a whole night? "Mother Shen, I have to go back tonight and come tomorrow morning, okay?"
Mother Shen hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, and said, "Miss Gu, this old slave also knows that it is really inconvenient for your girl who has not left the court to stay in Prince Li's residence, but... but it is His Highness's arrangement to keep you overnight."
"The arrangement of King Li?" Gu Qianxue was surprised, thinking of King Li, she became angry. Reluctantly, the enemy was strong and we were weak, Gu Qianxue held back her resentment and anger and said, "Can I ask Mammy one thing? Please Mammy go and tell King Li that I really have to go back tonight, and there is a reason why I have to go back. "
Mother Shen sighed, and said, "Okay, but Ms. Gu should have some late-night snacks first, I'll go to His Highness right now and beg without my old face, but Your Highness's temperament is not that I wait for slaves to control her, Miss Gu must be mentally prepared."
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Madam, and Qianxue expresses her gratitude." As she said that, Gu Qianxue blessed Shen Mama in a respectful manner.
Shen Momo walked away quickly, and the maid carrying the food box stepped forward, and advised softly and respectfully, "Miss Gu, why don't you wait while you have supper, this round trip will take a lot of time."
How could Gu Qianxue eat it? Thinking of Li Wang's cold and lifeless face, she had a bad feeling. Shaking his head, "I'm not hungry yet."
The servant girl is good at persuading people, "Miss, let's eat some, this is made by Mother Shen who went to the kitchen to watch people make it. If you don't touch it, wouldn't it be a waste of her old man's heart?"
Gu Qianxue had no choice but to nod her head, "Okay, let's put it on the stone table in the yard."
"Miss Gu is so kind." Several little maidservants served with smiles.
On a cool autumn night, Gu Qianxue sat down on a stone bench in the Nanshan courtyard, holding a hot bird's nest and white fungus dumpling soup in her hand, and slowly drinking it. The warm and sweet soup enters the throat from the mouth, and then enters the stomach along the esophagus, which is extremely comfortable.
After Gu Qianxue finished drinking a bowl of soup, she saw a group of people walking forward with lanterns in the dark distance.
Gu Qianxue put down her bowl and went up to meet her, but she saw Eunuch Shao and Jun'an.
Qianxue frowned, and the bad premonition in her heart was getting stronger and stronger, because with Eunuch Shao and Jun An, it was almost impossible to be far away from seeing someone.
"My lord is here." Eunuch Shao raised his voice and shouted.
The maids who were tidying up in the Nanshan courtyard stopped their work in a hurry, stepped forward and knelt down together. "Slave servant / servant, please greet the prince, the prince will be a thousand years old."
Gritting her teeth, Gu Qianxue also knelt down, mouth-to-mouth, without saying a word.
"Get up." Li Wang said lightly.
"Thank you, my lord." A group of servants got up one after another.
In the night, King Li, dressed in a black brocade robe and wearing a pure black cloak, was tall and slender, with a cold temperament, like a king in the dark, extremely elegant, condescending, and looked down on all beings.
He was dressed in black, which made his already fair complexion look even whiter. His straight nose was straight and straight, his thin lips were pursed, his long and narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, and the long eyelashes covered the sharp eyes, but he exuded a deadly aura. Dangerous breath.
Even Gu Qianxue, who hated King Li to the core, had to admit that this man was not only dangerous, but also possessed a mysterious attraction that attracted people to explore.
