Da Suining

Chapter 224

Xiangyan is in front.

Xiang Suining walked behind.

Xiangguo held Xiangyan's arm carefully, and comforted her cautiously: "Sister, don't cry, bear with it, and I'll call you a doctor when I get back."

"She must have let the scorpion bite me on purpose, I know."

"Third Sister, Second Sister, how could she deliberately let Scorpion bite you, and Scorpion won't listen to her, she must have misunderstood. Right, Second Sister." Xiang Guoxin turned his head and gave Xiang Suining a wink.

Xiang Suining was a little grateful.

After all, it was born to the same mother. Although it was fostered under Tang Xiaoniang's knees, Xiangguoxin has a kind heart after all. This is different from Tang Xiaoniang's Xiangyan mother and daughter.

Xiangyan didn't say anything.

Xiang Guoxin begged her again: "Third Sister, whether you blame Second Sister or not, don't tell Dad about this, or Dad will punish Second Sister again."

"Shouldn't she be punished? Look at my hands."

"Third Sister." Xiang Guoxin took out a delicate little jade fish from his bosom. The warm fish was carved to look like it was swimming, and it was very vivid. The fish seemed to be alive. Same.

"This is something that the eldest prince in the palace gave me to play with. If the third sister likes this little thing, I will give it to you."

The gadgets in the palace, even small gadgets, are very delicate and precious.

This jade fish is worth several taels of silver at least.

Reluctantly, Xiang Yan accepted Xiao Yuyu and stuffed it into her handkerchief.

"Then... even if the third sister agrees...don't tell your parents about it."

"You know how to help her speak." Xiang Yan poked Xiang Guoxin's forehead.

Xiangfu.

Xiang Daying was sitting with Tang Xiaoniang eating pot.

Beef, duck intestines, hairy belly, goose blood, vegetables, and various dipping sauces are all on the table.

It is hot in summer, and the porcelain basin in the inner hall is filled with ice, and there is a woman behind her fanning the fan, so it is still cool.

The two of them were halfway through eating when Xiang Yan came crying and sat next to Tang Xiaoniang.

"Yan'er has been running out for the past few days, and she is always happy when she comes back. What's wrong with her today? It hurts so much from crying?" Xiang Daying hurriedly asked the kitchen lady to add more bowls and chopsticks for Xiang Yan, and washed a piece for her herself. Beef: "Eat something first."

Xiangyan stretched out her hand aggrieved, her finger bitten by the scorpion was swollen and big, and a little purple.

"Yan'er, why are you still playing with eggplants?" Xiang Daying chewed the crispy duck intestines: "Eggplants can only be eaten fried. You can't eat them in hot pot."

"Father, what kind of eyes do you have?" Xiangyan snorted angrily, "I'm not playing with eggplants."

Tang Xiaoniang sat close and witnessed the miserable state of Xiangyan's fingers. She held Xiangyan's wrist in shock and said, "What's wrong with Yan'er? Was she bitten by a snake? It's so swollen that your fingers have changed color. This is bitten by a poisonous snake, right? God, can you still live..."

"It wasn't bitten by a snake." Xiangyan's tears flowed down, her brows were frowned because of the pain, and she gasped for breath as she spoke: "Although she wasn't bitten by a snake, she was also bitten by a scorpion, father, mother , It hurts me to death, you see, what kind of swelling has become, if it doesn't heal in the future, I... how can I see people. "

"Cough cough cough..." Xiang Guoxin coughed lightly.

"What are you coughing?" Xiang Daying's chopsticks fell on the bowl: "Your throat is itchy?"

"It's none of the fourth brother's business, it's the second girl." Xiangyan cried.

"Cough cough cough..." Seeing that Xiang Yan's words didn't count, Xiang Guo coughed a few more times decisively: "Third sister, little Yuyu, little Yuyu..."

After accepting other people's things, you should keep your word, right?
Xiangyan is not like this: "Father, mother, my fingers were bitten by the scorpion. You see, I don't know if my fingers can be kept... woo woo woo..."

"This little hoof..." Tang Xiaoniang couldn't sit still: "Go and call the second girl over here."

That..." Xiang Daying thought for a while and said, "Second girl, she... let the scorpion bite you?She has a scorpion? "

"She caught a lot of scorpions in Qingcheng Mountain, and brought them back in jars. Those scorpions are black and big, what if they bite my parents?"

"Master, listen, listen, the second girl has brought Xiezi back to the mansion, who is she trying to harm?"

"Second sister doesn't want to harm anyone, she catches scorpions... it's just for medicinal purposes, Mingzhu told me." Xiang Guoxin helped explain.

"She's not a doctor, what kind of medicine does she get? Guoxin, what benefits did she give you, you help her to kill your third sister?" Tang Xiaoniang was unwilling: "Go, bring me the second girl, and bring the second girl to me. The canned scorpion is also brought here."

Soon, Xiang Suining and the jar containing the scorpion were brought over.

As soon as the jar was opened, several people in the inner hall took a deep breath.

Good guy, the scorpion is really fat, and it keeps crawling around in the jar, like a small crab without stopping.

The woman holding the palm-leaf fan bravely took a look, and was so frightened that she almost couldn't hold on to the palm-leaf fan: "I saw a scorpion when I was in the countryside, and this scorpion...is so big...it looks like a sperm."

"The second girl harmed the third girl, so vicious." Tang Xiaoniang grabbed Xiang Daying's arm: "Master, you have to take care of it, Yan'er can't suffer this for nothing."

"What do you say?" Xiang Daying asked Tang Xiaoniang
Tang Xiaoniang poked Xiangyan.

"Just let the scorpion bite the second girl." Xiangyan cried.

"Third sister, how can this be done?" Xiangguo was anxious: "Second sister, she didn't do it on purpose..."

"Father...Father...Look at Guoxin, he always helps the second sister talk." Xiang Yan became short of breath as she cried, her breathing became more and more short of breath, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Yan'er... Yan'er...my Yan'er..." Tang Xiaoniang pounced on Xiang Yan and screamed, "Call the doctor quickly, call the doctor quickly..."

"You..." Xiang Daying pointed at Xiang Suining: "It's all caused by you, go outside and kneel in the courtyard for an hour before getting up."

The sun outside is very poisonous.

Xiang Suining knelt under the sun, he could see the ants on the blue bricks carrying rice grains through the flowers, and he could see the patterns on the butterflies falling on the leaves.You can see the blue and whitish sky, and you can see a lot of women and maidservants in the long corridor, they are helping Xiangyan and fanning her, and they are very attentive.

Mingzhu knelt beside Xiang Suining and wept: "Second Miss, why don't they believe us? How could Second Miss harm Third Miss? They don't even believe Fourth Young Master's testimony to Second Miss."

"Stop talking, so as not to hurt Guo Xin."

Mingzhu had to wipe away her tears.

Tang Xiaoniang was sitting far away in the corridor, holding a rouge red embroidered peony fan and patted it gently. The corridor was cool, and the plantain leaves were green and shady. Tang Xiaoniang stared coldly at Xiang Suining under the sun, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

I haven't knelt like this for a long time.The blue bricks are light and hard, and the clothes are thin in summer, and the thin layer of material is like nothingness.Kneeling on the green bricks, his legs became terribly numb soon.

The sun above the head is like a small stove, and it is still a stove filled with charcoal.The sun was hanging above his head, Xiang Suining's collar was soaked, his hair was sticking to his back with wetness, it was like taking a bath.

Very dizzy.

Xiang Suining shook his body before he could kneel upright.

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here." The servant invited the doctor.

The scorching sun caused Xiang Suining to see a vast expanse of whiteness before his eyes, and suddenly he was in a trance, as if he saw a figure. The doctor who came was wearing an imperial doctor's uniform, like an imperial doctor. The imperial doctor looked at the man kneeling in the yard Xiang Suining stepped down to the corridor.

"He... I won't let him see Yan'er..." Tang Xiaoniang was quite disgusted: "He... what medical skills..."

"Ma'am... don't be rude." Xiang Daying hurried up to greet him: "This is Lu Yulu, the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital, who was appointed by the Emperor a few days ago. Regardless of his young age, the Emperor suffered a headache a few days ago. For the disease, only his prescription is effective."

Tang Xiao didn't speak.

"Excuse me, please move to the third girl's room, she has passed out right now."

Along the way, the servants of the Xiang family have already told Lu Yu about the Xiang family.

Although Lu Yu had some complaints about Prime Minister Daying, he still asked patiently: "The one kneeling in the yard seems to be the second girl of your mansion, what did she do wrong?"

"It's... all small things."

"It's very hot today..." Lu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xiang Daying was a little embarrassed: "It's just in front of the third girl's door. Her hand is very swollen. The imperial doctor will show her quickly."

Xiangyan's boudoir.

There is ice in a shallow guava-patterned basin at the door, and the maid is holding a round fan to keep fanning the wind. The room is very shady and cool, and as soon as I enter, I feel comfortable.

There is a wooden plate on the small table, and an ice bowl is placed on the plate. There are various fruits and smoothies in the ice bowl. A bite this season will surely cool off the heat.

The bed is covered with a mat woven with tribute cloth from the south of the Yangtze River, which is soft and cool.The two servant girls, one on the left and the other on the right, took turns fanning Xiangyan.

Xiang Yan closed her eyes and lay on the bed, motionless.

Lu Yu looked at the ice bowl on the small table, a piece of fruit fell on the table.Obviously, Xiangyan ate it secretly.

Lu Yu sat in front of the bed, pressed Xiangyan's pulse through the tulle, rolled Xiangyan's eyelids, raised Xiangyan's hand, looked at the finger bitten by the scorpion, sighed, Thumb up.

Xiang Daying became nervous. It is said that the emperor was writhing on the bed in pain, and Lu Yu could heal him. Why did he come to Xiangyan's place and look like this?

"How is it?"

"My lord, please invite another wise man." Lu Yu got up and wanted to leave.

"Don't...don't...if you have anything, you may as well just say it...I have some friendship with your father, Lu Yu...you...you are not an outsider to me, I have trusted your medical skills, how can you answer You can just say what you want, no matter how expensive the medicine is, just prescribe it, it’s not that you can’t afford it.”

"Since Mr. Xiang said it bluntly, I will say it bluntly. The third girl was bitten on her finger, but it was poisonous, otherwise she wouldn't have swollen like this. Now the color of her finger has changed...I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that in a few hours, the poison on the fingers will flow to the arms. At that time, the arms may not be able to keep it. If it spreads to the internal organs, the gods will be hard to save."

"Just being bitten by a scorpion...just..." Xiang Daying couldn't believe it.

"Master Xiang saw that he was bitten by a scorpion with his own eyes?" Lu Yu patted his head, "According to my opinion, the third girl's symptoms are due to being bitten by a poisonous snake."

"Then... is there a cure?"

"Because it has been too long in the past, the snake venom has been unable to be excreted in the body. Now, if you cut off your fingers, maybe you can still be saved."

Cut off fingers? "Xiang Daying was shocked. He had heard of a doctor who took someone's finger, but never heard of someone cutting one's finger. Besides, Xiangyan is as beautiful as a flower, which is rare in Qingcheng. If a finger is missing, in the future...

Lu Yu obviously understood Xiang Daying's thoughts: "Compared with life, fingers are nothing. Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, my medical skills are trusted by the emperor, and there will be no mistakes."

"This...then..." Xiang Daying was a little confused.

Lu Yu opened the medicine box, took out a row of silver needles from inside, and took out a dagger from the bottom of the box and asked Xiang Daying: "What do you think of my dagger?"

"This is?"

"This dagger is shaved like mud. I won't use it unless it is absolutely necessary. Use this dagger to cut off the bad finger of the third girl, and make sure it is not messy. After cutting off the bad finger, I will use this row of silver needles to acupuncture acupuncture points." Stop the bleeding, and then prescribe a medicine for the third girl to drink, after a few days, it will be fine."

"Really...it must be like this...?"

"Master Xiang wants a daughter, or...?"

"I want a daughter."

"Well, let the people below light a lamp."

"Ok?"

"Light a lamp, and I'll set the dagger on fire."

Xiang Daying waved his hand, and soon, a maid lit a candle and brought it up.

Lu Yu put the dagger on the fire and roasted the front and the back. When the dagger was steaming, Lu Yu asked the maid to hold Xiangyan's wrist, and he was about to cut it with the dagger.

Tang Xiaoniang wanted to rush forward to stop her, but she was hugged by Xiang Daying: "Don't waste time, if you don't cut off your fingers, Yan'er's life will be lost. You don't want the kindness of a woman."

"While the third girl fainted, I had to cut this bad finger quickly. She might not be able to bear the pain after she woke up. It was a heart-piercing pain." Lu Yu put the dagger close to Xiang Yan's hand: "I'm sorry Miss Xiang San."

"No, don't cut it." Xiangyan sat up straight away, put her hands in her sleeves: "Lu Yu, do you want my life?"

"Third Miss is awake? Third Miss' snake venom...is not shallow, it's better to cut it."

"I've never been poisoned by a snake. My hand was bitten by a scorpion."

"I do not believe."

"It was really bitten by a scorpion. If you don't believe me, ask Guoxin."

"Scorpion? How did it bite?"

"It's... it's the second girl who... put the scorpion... to harm me."

Lu Yu smiled: "It seems that the third girl has been poisoned too deeply, her mind is not clear, and she can't remember what happened just now. I'd better cut off my fingers."

"Lu Yu, how dare you!" Xiang Yan bit her lip.

"Go to Qingcheng and inquire, see if there is anything that Lu Yu dare not do."

"You cut my finger, I can't spare you..." Xiangyan suppressed her voice.

Lu Yu also suppressed his voice: "Then wait until I finish cutting, and you can take revenge on me."

Lu Yu pressed Xiangyan's hand, and the dagger in his hand was about to fall.

Xiangyan was terrified: "I... I... It's my fault. I was bitten by the escaped scorpion when I went to dig through the pot... Oops..."

"Didn't the second girl release the scorpion on purpose?"

Xiang Yan pinched her head.

"Master Xiang, can you hear me?"
