After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 118 Poisoning
On the second day, Yan Li took a half-day leave with his boss, and returned to Qi's residence with Qi Tanying.

Of the wet nurses and midwives currently living in the Qi family, three of them were found by Mrs. Jiang, including two wet nurses and one midwife, and the other three were found by Mrs. Qi herself.

After Qi Tanying and Yan Li met them, they asked some questions, and eliminated two wet nurses and a midwife.

Seeing that they had eliminated the midwife she had chosen, Mrs. Qi was a little unhappy, "I asked someone to find out that this Mrs. Wang's craftsmanship can also be ranked well in the capital, but it's the lady Liu sent by your aunt. Looks too young, doesn't look like experienced."

Yan Li said: "Mother-in-law, don't judge by appearance. Mrs. Liu was born as a doctor and has more than ten years of experience in delivering babies. If there is a difficult situation during childbirth, she will definitely handle it better than Mrs. Wang who only knows how to deliver babies."

Qi Tanying's words made Madam Qi's heart tense, she could not listen to such a hypothesis now.

He gave Yan Li a hard look, "Bah, bah, shut your stinking mouth. My family, Atan, has great blessings, and the delivery will surely go smoothly."

After being scolded by Mrs. Qi, Yan Li showed embarrassment, "Mother-in-law, I don't have one."

Madam Qi interrupted her before she finished speaking, "If you can't speak, stop it, lest I get angry."

Mrs. Qi rolled her eyes at him, then turned to Qi Tanying and said, "Don't think too much, take good care of yourself, and mother will come to Yan's house to accompany you when you are about to give birth."

Qi Tanying nodded.

After Qi Tanying and Yan Li brought the selected wet nurse and midwife back to Yan's house, after a few days, Mrs. Gu sent two more wet nurses.

Qi Tanying was only pregnant with one child, so she didn't need so many wet nurses, so she politely declined the kindness of Mrs. Gu.

A few days later, Mrs. Gu came to the door again. This time, she did not bring a nurse, but a doctor who was good at taking care of her body.

That doctor, Qi Tanying, also knew her. It was Doctor Ge who had given her a pulse check before.

Seeing Dr. Ge, Qi Tanying was very surprised. Not long ago, I heard that Dr. Ge had returned to the south of the Yangtze River. Why did he appear in Kyoto now?
The Second Madam Gu saw her doubts, and said: "Dr. Ge met Jing Yiyi and A Yuan on the way back to Jiangnan. A Yuan heard that you were pregnant, so she begged him to return to the capital to take care of you for a few months. He He and Jingyi are close friends, and for the sake of Jingyi, Doctor Ge returned to the capital again."

Hearing that it was Bei Yuan who invited Dr. Ge back to Beijing, Qi Tanying was even more surprised. She and Bei Yuan just met each other once, and she didn't expect that she would be so interested in herself.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Gu Er said with a smile: "A Yuan once told me that her mother only gave birth to her one child, and she was very eager to have an older sister or younger sister since she was a child. When she first saw you, she felt special. Kind, I already treat you as a sister in my heart."

After hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Qi Tanying always felt that something was weird, but she couldn't say anything.

There were so many things she couldn't figure out, she simply stopped thinking about it.

At this time, Mrs. Gu said again: "Quickly ask Dr. Ge to diagnose your pulse, the boy next to Taoist is still waiting at the mansion."

Qi Tanying stretched out her hand to ask Dr. Ge to check her pulse. As soon as Dr. Ge took hold of her wrist, he realized something was wrong, and asked with a frown, "Madam, is there anything uncomfortable recently?"

Qi Tanying shook her head, these days she ate well, slept well, and didn't feel any discomfort.

Dr. Ge frowned even more when he heard this, he found something wrong in Qi Tanying's pulse condition, if an ordinary doctor diagnoses the pulse, he would definitely ignore it.

He had encountered exactly the same pulse condition 20 years ago. At that time, because he was young and conceited, he didn't detect something wrong in time. When he found out, it was too late to treat it.

He spoke again: "Madam, think about it again, is there anything unusual about your body recently?"

Qi Tanying thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but Ting Lan who was on the side said: "My wife has become a little lethargic in the past ten years, I don't know if this counts?"

Before Dr. Ge could speak, Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "People who are pregnant are more prone to sleepiness, so it shouldn't be considered abnormal."

Dr. Ge shook his head, then asked Ting Lan about Qi Tanying's drowsiness, Ting Lan told everything she remembered, and Dr. Ge's face became more serious the more he heard it.

Seeing this, everyone present felt tense.

Qi Tanying asked worriedly: "Doctor Ge, is there something wrong with my body?"

Doctor Ge didn't hide anything, "Madam's pulse is wrong. If the old man didn't diagnose the wrong pulse, he should have been poisoned by a toxin extracted from the Western Region Phantom Soul Grass."

As the name suggests, the Western Regions Phantom Soul Grass comes from the Western Regions, and its rhizomes contain a lot of toxins.The most vicious point of this poison is not the death of the poisoned person, but the madness.

Once a person takes this toxin, a small dose will not cause any obvious symptoms of poisoning, but as long as the dose exceeds a certain level, the accumulated toxin will go up to the brain, causing people to behave uncontrollably.

The woman he met when he was young was poisoned by the enchanting grass.He followed his father to her home to check her pulse. She was six months pregnant at the time, and she was fine during the day, but at night she was restless and had nightmares.

Her father checked her pulse and found that there was nothing abnormal about her pulse, so he only prescribed some soothing decoction for her.

But when their father and son were invited to her house for the second time, her whole person changed drastically.Last time, she was just mentally ill, but this time she became nagging, and kept saying that there was a ghost trying to harm her and the child.

It was only after taking her pulse that something was wrong. Her father planned to test her for drugs, but her family stopped her, and then he had to let it go.

What I heard later was that she strangled to death her child born in October of her pregnancy because of going crazy, and was kicked out of the house by her husband's family and became a crazy beggar woman.

One day he met her on the street, and she recognized him immediately, and followed him all the way to the hospital, crying and clamoring for him to save her.

He took her pulse and tested her for poison, and only after reading countless classics did he realize that the poison she was suffering from was extracted from a poisonous herb called Western Region Phantom Soul Grass.

Because this kind of poisonous weed grows in the Western Regions, it is not common in other places, and the woman has a concubine in her house, which was brought back by her husband when he was doing business in the Western Regions.

All the truth came to light, but tragedy has already happened.

After listening to Dr. Ge's explanation of the Western Region Phantom Soul Grass, Qi Tanying turned pale. She was not worried about herself, but was afraid that the poison would affect her children.

"Will the baby in my womb"

She couldn't say the next few words.

Dr. Ge shook his head, "Madam, don't worry too much. The old man is only suspicious at the moment. Everything needs to be verified before we know the final result."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying breathed a sigh of relief, hoping it was just Dr. Ge who made a mistake.

At this time, Mrs. Gu said to Qi Tanying with a serious face: "I heard that Dr. Ge checked your pulse before he left Beijing, and there was nothing abnormal at that time. The person who wanted to poison you must have done it after he left Beijing." Poison, I suspect it was done by the people in the house, you must investigate carefully."
