Chapter 45 Medicine for Dementia

When she was a child, Hua Xiu was still very lively. Whenever there was food, she would share it with her and play with her. However, as she got older, her memory became worse and she came to see her less and less often.

"Seventh sister..." She touched the right side of her neck and fell into memories.

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember." She poked her sleeves out, took out a few candies, tore open the package and handed them to her, "Here you go!"

Hua Xiang looked at the round thing in front of him and didn't dare to stretch out his hand.

Finally, he saw her throwing it into his mouth before he boldly took it, "Well, it's so sweet."

"Sweet it, I'll give it all to you!"

Tiantian caught it all with a smile, "Thank you... uh..."

In the blink of an eye, she forgot again.

"Seventh sister!" Hua Jianli reminded.

"Thank you, Seventh Sister!"

Hua Jianli grabbed her hand and checked her pulse habitually. The next moment she frowned, there was indeed something fishy!The tendons and arteries are blocked in many places and the blood circulation is slow.

"Seventh sister, seventh sister!" Titian broke away from her grasp and didn't understand why she held on to her hand. Did she take too many candies?Hua Jianli let go of her hand, "Xu'er, do you remember what you ate today?"

She shook her head, not knowing.

"Then do you remember the way back to your room?"

She still shook her head.

"Then do you remember your name?"

"My name is Hua Xiu!" She answered quickly this time.

"How old is this year?"

"Well..." She thought for a long time with her eyes wide open, and finally shook her head, "I forgot!"

Her eyes were clear and there was no problem with her language expression. She only said she had forgotten and did not say a random number, which meant that her intelligence was still there, but there was an error in her memory.

As long as it's not Alzheimer's disease, she can still find a cure.

"Eighth Miss, Eighth Miss, this old slave has been looking for you for a long time, and it turns out you are here. Come back with me quickly, it's time to take medicine!"

At this time, a middle-aged woman hurried over and saw that Hua Jianli was also there. She had no other expression, so she picked up Hua Xiu and was about to leave.

However, Hua Tianli grabbed Hua Jianli's arm immediately.

"No, I don't take bitter medicine!" She remembered the taste of the medicine, she didn't like it, she liked the taste in her mouth, it was sweet.

"No, you must take medicine!" The mother-in-law didn't care how she struggled, this was the death order from the fourth aunt.

Hua Jianli looked at Hua Jianli, and the prayer in her eyes made Hua Jianli soften, "Aunt Zhang, since she doesn't want to take medicine, let's just skip it this time!"

After all, these medicines are useless.

"Miss Qi, it's not your turn to take care of this matter yet. If you have time, take care of yourself first!" She exerted force in her hand, and the tidbits were pulled painfully, and she let out a cry of pain.

Hua Jianli also grabbed Hua Xuan's other hand...

"Nanny Zhang, although I am not favored in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and can even be bullied by everyone, after all, I am still the legitimate daughter of the manor, the future fourth prince concubine whom the late emperor granted me to marry. What do you think, if the emperor knew that someone was cheating on me? I’m disrespectful, what punishment do you think you will get.”

As soon as these words came out, Nanny Zhang let go of her hand subconsciously. Due to inertia, Hua Tianli rushed towards Hua Jianli, and the two of them almost fell.

"Miss Seventh, are you threatening this old slave?"

Hua Jianli stood up straight and said, "Threatening you, you go out and find out, what terrible things did I do in the house today?"

What happened today must have spread throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion. There should be no one who doesn't know that she went crazy and gathered a bunch of servants in the kitchen.

Naturally, Nanny Zhang also knew about it. She also heard that the Seventh Miss slapped Aunt Wang's body a hundred times, and finally killed her in front of everyone without repenting of her hatred.Naturally, her information was not first-hand information. By the time rumors reached her ears, it had already changed into several versions.

"This... this has nothing to do with me." Nanny Zhang was so frightened that she couldn't speak incoherently and knelt down with a bang. "This... is what the fourth aunt meant. The eighth lady needs to drink medicine every day."

"This old slave is also doing good for Miss Eight. She is sick. Miss Seven, it's not that you don't know."

Hua Jianli was most annoyed by the servility of these people. They would kneel down whenever they made a mistake. They were not dead people and would be worshiped every day.

"You get up first. I won't embarrass you. You go back and tell Fourth Yiniang that Xu'er will stay with me during this period. I will have someone treat her illness."

"No, Miss Seven!" Aunt Zhang seemed to be frightened, hugging Hua Jianli's legs, "Fourth Aunt will not agree."

Hua Jianli frowned, "Why? I won't lead her astray!"

"Miss Qi, I can't decide this matter, so you should go and talk to Fourth Yiniang in person!" Nanny Zhang begged.

Hua Jianli thought for a while, "Okay!"

The fourth aunt is a stoic woman. At the age of half a woman, she stays in the room all day long, in the company of the Lord Buddha.

At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on the futon, wearing coarse linen clothes, and her hair was all pulled into a hat, like a nun practicing with her hair on.

Time has not left any trace on her face, and she does not look like her daughter is married.

"Fourth Yiniang!" Hua Jianli was slightly blessed, and for the sake of the tidbits, he gave her respect.

"So it's Xiaoqi who's here!" Sitting in the Zen room, Si Yiniang said with a gentle voice, like a stream of spring water, "You can sit wherever you like."

When they were little, Hua Xin had an unusual relationship with Hua Jianli, and she would call her Xiao Qi in an easy-going way.

"Okay." Hua Jianli was not polite and just casually sat on the futon on the ground.

Titian sat next to her. In her mind, this sister with a cat's beard on her face could be trusted.

Fourth Yiniang looked at the highlights and said, "Xu'er, it's time for you to take medicine!"

This ordinary sentence sounded like thunder to Hua Xiu's ears.

"No, no! I won't eat it!" When Hua Xiu saw the bowl of black stuff on the low table, he was so scared that he hugged Hua Jianli's hand tightly, as if she was his savior.

The most profound and terrifying thing in my memory is this.

"Miss Eighth, be obedient and drink it!" Nanny Zhang spoke softly, but her tone did not allow her to refuse.

The medicine bowl was brought to Hua Xu, and the smell drifted into the flower and gradually left her nose.

She was distracted, this smell...

"I don't want to drink, I don't want to drink." Hua Xiu buried his head in Hua Zianli's hair, resisting very much.

Hua Jianli reached out and took the medicine bowl from Granny Zhang, "Shall I try?"

Nanny Zhang did not doubt his presence and handed the medicine bowl to Hua Jianli.

Hua Jianli frowned after smelling it. It was unmistakable. This was the smell in the soup that the Empress ordered someone to send to her last time in the palace. It was a kind of smell that could make people become dementia. , a drug for memory loss.

No wonder Xuer's memory is getting worse and worse, no wonder she is becoming more and more like an idiot.

But, does Fourth Yiniang know?Or was this her idea?
Queen, fourth aunt...

How are they related?
Why would Xuer be targeted by them?

"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?" Fourth Yiniang asked. Seeing her solemn face, could she have guessed something?
This Hua Jianli is different from the stupid look before.

She is still the same person, but her eyes are much smarter and wiser. Could it be...
