Lu Liangwei kept watching the changes in the expression on her face, and said softly: "Mom, have you ever thought about the fact that Mrs. Zheng suddenly went back with the child in her arms, and that the whole thing was fishy?"
Ling Lihua was startled, "You..."
"Mom, my grandmother told me, and I'm not a child anymore. I want to know what happened between you and dad back then."
Ling Lihua sighed, stroked her hair and said, "It's all old news, why bring it up?"
Lu Liang frowned slightly, "But between you and dad..."
"Weiwei, don't worry about what's going on between me and your father." Ling Lihua interrupted her.
Lu Liangwei was a little anxious, but thinking about her mother's rejection of her father, she calmed down, "Okay, let's not mention father for now, but there is something weird about Mrs. Zheng. Don't you want to find out about it, mother?"
Sure enough, after hearing that she no longer mentioned Lu Hetian, Ling Lihua's expression softened a little, "What's wrong with Mrs. Zheng?"
"I just examined Ms. Zheng. She has been poisoned. Moreover, she has only a few days to live. Don't you think it's strange, mother? Logically speaking, she is just a concubine of my father and has no background or identity. Why was she poisoned after being sent to Baiyun Nunnery by her father? Who wanted to kill her?" Lu Liangwei asked with confusion.
Hearing this, Ling Lihua stretched out her hand to feel Zheng's pulse.
After a moment, she withdrew her hand, which was also quite strange.
"She was indeed poisoned, and it was a highly poisonous one. However, the poison was chronic and would not cause death immediately." When Zheng was young, her family was in dire straits. No one in the family was around, and she was almost killed. She was the one who saved him when he was sold into a brothel.
She knows best about Zheng's background, which can be said to be extremely poor.
Now, at best, she is just Lu Hetian's concubine.
Who would go to such trouble to poison her
unless-
"It seems that Mrs. Zheng must have known some secret, so she was poisoned and silenced."
Lu Liang nodded slightly, "I think so too. But what secret does Zheng know?"
Ling Lihua smiled and said, "If you want to know, I'll ask her to wake up and tell you now."
Lu Liangwei was a little curious, "How can mother wake her up?" Is that what she thought
Just when she was thinking about it, she saw Ling Lihua take out a slender silver needle and said to her with a smile: "Wei Wei wants to study medicine, take a good look."
Lu Liangwei looked at her without blinking, "Yeah."
"Come, help lift Mrs. Zheng up." Ling Lihua ordered.
Lu Liangwei helped Zheng up from the bed as instructed.
Ling Lihua held the silver needle and slowly inserted it into the Baihui point on Zheng's head.
She was very careful when doing it, but she still explained: "Although doing this can wake up a person who has been unconscious for a long time, the risk is also very high. If you are not careful, the person who has been unconscious for a long time can wake up. It will never wake up. Therefore, when we insert the silver needle into the patient's Baihui point, the force should be moderate. It should not be inserted too deep, but it should not be inserted too shallowly. Inserting about half an inch can stimulate the patient of the central nervous system."
Lu Liangwei listened carefully.
Although she had read about this method from the medical books left by her mother, she had never practiced it in detail.
Moreover, given Zheng's situation, if she was asked to treat her, she would want to detoxify her first, but the antidote cannot be made in a short time. It is faster and more convenient to prick the acupuncture points with silver needles.
If Mrs. Zheng was only unconscious for a while, she had medicine that could wake her up immediately.
But Zheng had been in coma for a long time and was infected with severe poison. To wake her up immediately, medicine could not do it.
