Chapter 4 Poison of Bamboo Chicken
Nanny Zhang and Yu Rong lived in the next room with Ping An, and Mei Xue changed into the men's clothes worn by the attendants, and sat by the window after washing to write prescriptions for Ping An.

The boat was still moving forward, but the rain gradually died down, pattering against the porthole.

Xiao Yan brought hot tea and walked to the door, he couldn't help being stunned when he saw the woman inside.

Because the clothes are too loose, the person who wears them looks even thinner.

But under the dim candlelight, the woman with snow-white complexion was still glamorous and compelling.

Just like after a summer rainstorm, the white lotus is covered with water droplets, trembling in the wind, which is lovely but reluctant to touch.

The woman in front of him looked very much like a person, but Xiao Yan couldn't remember who she looked like for a while.

Mei Xue raised her head and glanced at Xiao Yan, said nothing, then lowered her head and continued writing.

Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, sat opposite Mei Xue and poured her a cup of hot tea, then tentatively said:
"Miss Mei, don't mind. Although Shen Qingyang has a bad reputation, he is not really bad. He threatens you just to scare you. He will never do anything out of line. I will definitely protect you .”

Mei Xue smiled lightly, sorted out the written prescriptions, then looked at Xiao Yan calmly and said:
"Thank you Mr. Xiao for your kindness. Mr. Shen didn't threaten me. He just happened to know a relative of my mother. He said that as long as I am willing to go to Chengdu, he will tell me the relative's address later."

Xiao Yan was stunned, and then said in a hateful voice:

"So it's just such a little thing, Shen Qingyang is really dishonest, it made me worry for several days."

Mei Xue pursed her lips, and a trace of coldness slipped through her eyes.

Perhaps because he felt more relaxed, Xiao Yan talked more. He poured himself a cup of tea and said to himself while drinking:
"Miss Mei, don't worry about going to Chengdu. My cousin has a very good temper. He has never been angry with anyone. Many old doctors have said that if he hadn't had such a good temper, he would never get angry. I'm afraid he would Can't last until today."

Seeing that Mei Xue turned her face to look at her, she seemed to be interested, Xiao Yan became more energetic, and continued in a rambling manner:
"The former Princess Shu was my biological aunt, who suffered from a difficult delivery when giving birth to my cousin, and passed away not long after.

Although my uncle was not loved by the late emperor, the late emperor loved my cousin very much, so my cousin almost grew up in the palace.

My grandmother said that after the birthday party when I was five years old, my cousin suddenly started to get sick, with intermittent coughing and fever, which has dragged on to tuberculosis until now.

Later, the first emperor was seriously ill, and before his death, he ordered his sons to become feudal lords.Because my cousin was not in good health, my uncle did not come to Chengdu until two years later.

People say that His Majesty is benevolent and treats my nephew, my cousin, very kindly. "

As if thinking of something again, Xiao Yan shook the cup in his hand and said:
"At that time, my grandmother felt sorry for my cousin who was weak and sick, and was afraid that the women in the palace would plot against him, so she wanted to marry another daughter from the Xiao family and go to the palace to take care of her cousin.

But there were no concubine girls of the right age in the family, so my grandmother went to beg the queen mother and sent a concubine sister of my aunt to the palace.

My uncle didn't like the princess at first, but she treated her cousin very well, even her own mother couldn't do that to her, so now my uncle respects her. "

Mei Xue seemed to be only interested in Li Jinzhi's condition. When she heard this, she changed the subject and asked:
"Those people who took care of your cousin personally, or those in the palace, or those in Beijing who were able to contact your cousin, have any of them suffered from tuberculosis? Or have such patients at home."

Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a while, finally shook his head and said:

"I don't remember such a person. My cousin was raised in the palace when he was a child, and the people who served him were carefully selected.

Later he fell ill, and my aunt loved him very much, so naturally she would not let sick people touch him. "

Mei Xue nodded, looked at the dark night sky outside the window and said:

"Since that's the case, let's wait until Chengdu. If he doesn't have tuberculosis, I will definitely try my best to treat him."

Xiao Yan hurriedly got up to salute Mei Xue, and said gratefully:

"Miss Mei, whether you can cure my cousin or not, I, Xiao Yan, will always remember your kindness."

Mei Xue got up to return the salute, but she didn't say anything more.

Xiao Yan walked out of the room and couldn't help but look back again.

It was raining at night, the candlelight was dim, and the woman sitting under the lamp was as quiet as a picture of a beauty in an ink painting.

Xiao Yan suddenly thought of his cousin Li Jinzhi when he was studying in the study of the palace.

After dawn, Mei Xue followed Xiao Yan off the boat, and Shen Qingyang was already waiting at the pier with someone.

It took more than an hour to land, and he arranged everything.

They arranged for Nanny Zhang and Yurong two women to be helpers on the boat, an old doctor was hired to take care of Ping An, and a few attendants were left behind to take care of purchases and guards.

And also arranged for a nanny to follow and feed Ping An all the way.

Yu Rong couldn't stop crying, Zhang Nanny hugged Ping An, and looked at Mei Xue with red eyes.

Mei Xue lowered her head, gently touched Ping An's little face, and then jumped on the horse without saying a word.

After the rain, the sun shines brightly.

The girl in green clothes and shoes galloped on a horse in the bright spring, staring dumbfounded at the group of people behind her.

Shen Qingyang glanced sideways at Xiao Yan, and said with a sneer:
"As far as she is capable, do you think you can really bring her to Chengdu without grasping her weakness?"

Xiao Yan opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. He originally proposed to arrange a docile pony for Mei Xue, and even thought that it was not possible, he could teach Mei Xue to ride a horse first.

More than a dozen horses were galloping on the official road, and Meixue never lost the wind. At noon, she took a break in the tea shed by the roadside. Xiao Yan poured tea for Meixue graciously, and said with a smile:
"It's such a hurry, Miss Mei, it's hard work."

Mei Xue shook her head, didn't speak, and just started to eat quietly.

The small shop in the countryside only had simple porridge, pancakes and two side dishes, Shen Qingyang and his attendants ate the dried meat they brought in their luggage, Mei Xue only drank porridge, occasionally with two pieces of green vegetables.

While eating, there was a sudden commotion in the tea shed. It was a child who was eating suddenly fell ill.

She was only five or six years old when a rash suddenly appeared, which quickly spread all over her face.

The child cried and scratched his face, and the child's father, anxious and angry, accused the owner of poisoning their meals.

The shopkeeper jumped his feet in anger, and the two sides made a noise.

Shen Qingyang frowned, snorted and placed the teacup heavily on the table.

The tea shed fell silent instantly, neither the owner nor the child's father dared to speak anymore, only the child was left crying.

There were bloodstains all over the child's face.

Xiao Yan looked at the crying child and Mei Xue, but he didn't dare to speak.

Mei Xue was still eating quietly, and when the porridge in the bowl was finished, she took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth and fingers.

Shen Qingyang looked at Mei Xue coldly, his disdain beyond words.

The doctor is benevolent, but this woman has a heart of stone. I don't know how much of her reputation as a genius doctor is true.

Mei Xue didn't even look at Shen Qingyang, she stuffed the handkerchief back into her sleeves and stood up.

Seeing Mei Xue walking towards the crying child, Xiao Yan hurriedly followed, protecting Mei Xue and yelling loudly:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let the doctor see the child first."

Most of the spectators were very surprised, the woman in front of her looked very young, maybe she didn't even have a Jiji, could she be cured?
But the shopkeeper seemed to have seen the savior, and hurriedly complained to Mei Xue, saying that the food in his shop must be fine, everyone is eating, why is everyone else fine?
The middle-aged man who was the father held the child in his arms, sweating profusely.

Mei Xue carefully looked at the child's face, then stretched out her hand to lift the child's sleeves and trousers, then pointed to the half bowl of chicken on the table and asked:

"Is this made of fresh bamboo chicken? Where did the bamboo chicken come from?"

The shop owner seemed to see hope, and replied attentively:
"Girl, as you can see, apart from porridge and pancakes, there are only two vegetarian vegetables in my shop. This bowl of meat is indeed bamboo chicken, but it was brought by their father and son, and has nothing to do with me."

The child's father was also in a hurry, and angrily said to Mei Xue:

"You little girl, do you know how to see a doctor? I just caught this bamboo chicken an hour ago. It's at the foot of the mountain over there. It couldn't be fresher. I agreed to give him five copper coins to make it better. Why? Maybe it's a chicken problem?"

Xiao Yan was instantly upset, and slapped the middle-aged man with his hands, cursing:
"If you dare to be rude to Miss Mei, I will have your legs broken right now, my lord."

Seeing that Xiao Yan and others were all dressed in brocade clothes, and the attendants were all carrying swords, the child's father was frightened, he didn't dare to speak any more, he just hugged the child so anxiously that he shed tears.

Mei Xue didn't seem to care, she turned her face and asked the shopkeeper:

"Uncle, you are doing business here, do you know if there are herbs growing on the mountain in front? Especially pinellia."

The shopkeeper immediately replied:

"Yes, there must be. Some people in our village go to the mountain to collect herbs and sell them for money. As for the pinellia that the girl mentioned, I only know it is a kind of medicinal material, but there must be. The pharmacy in the town will come to our village to buy it. My daughter-in-law sold a lot of them the day before yesterday."

Mei Xue smiled lightly after hearing this, and said to the shopkeeper:

"Now is the peak season for pinellia growing, and bamboo chickens like to eat pinellia, this child must be allergic to eating too much fresh bamboo chicken.

Uncle, just ask someone to pound a bowl of thick ginger juice for this child to drink. It's not a big deal, don't worry. "

The shopkeeper was stunned, he couldn't understand, but he still rushed to work like flying.

Xiao Yan was also taken aback, and couldn't help asking Mei Xue:

"Miss Mei, isn't pinellia a medicine, and it's all eaten by bamboo chickens, how can it make people have... allergies?

Oh, by the way, Miss Mei, what do you mean by allergies? "

Mei Xue smiled, walked back to her seat, sat down and said:

"The so-called allergies can also be said to be mild poisoning. Pinellia is a good medicine, but for people who are not suitable, it may be extremely poisonous.

The child was lucky enough to eat bamboo chicken, if he ate Pinellia directly, he would die if he couldn't save it within half an hour. "

Xiao Yan was very surprised, and while pouring tea for Mei Xue, he turned his head to look at the child who was still crying.

The shopkeeper quickly brought out half a bowl of ginger juice, squeezed the child's nose and poured it in. It took only half a stick of incense, and the rash on the child's face began to disappear.

After Mei Xue drank a cup of tea, the child stopped crying and the rash on his face subsided, leaving only some scratched bloodstains.

The child's father was so grateful that he knelt down and kowtowed to Mei Xue, repeatedly apologizing for his recklessness just now.

Mei Xue helped him up, and said calmly:

"This child should be allergic. In the future, not only pinellia, but also anything that he has never eaten or drank before, the first time you give it to him, you must try a small amount first. If there is no problem, you can eat it with confidence."

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, and the shopkeeper was also happy. He resolutely refused to accept the tea and meal money from Mei Xue and his party, and said gratefully:

"This is my whole heart, the girl must not refuse.

If I hadn't met a girl today, I wouldn't have been able to explain the strange incident today. "

Xiao Yan was so happy that he accepted the shopkeeper's kindness for Mei Xue.

Shen Qingyang had been sitting expressionlessly, and now he still didn't speak. Seeing that the matter was over, he got up and walked out.

Mei Xue still ignored Shen Qingyang, and got on her horse and galloped forward.

Xiao Yan was still very excited, he chased after Shen Qingyang and said:
"You see what I said is right, this girl Mei has real skills, don't keep a dark face and scare Miss Mei, I will never stop with you."

Shen Qingyang snorted, he didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Yan, and directly urged the horse to go forward.

But when he looked at the cyan figure in front again, his expression softened a bit after all.

He has always been impatient with delicate and pretentious women, but Mei Xue did not annoy him in this regard. It can even be said that Mei Xue's crispness is better than many men.
