Liu Biao's sad words made Liu Qi, who had swallowed rat poison and secretly used luck to control the spread of the poison, feel both happy and surprised. What was pleasant was that after the chaos was settled in Jingzhou, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, turned out to like his eldest son Liu Qi very much.
Liu Biao had the idea of establishing a leader, and Liu Qi could take advantage of Liu Biao's love for his son to find a place in Jingzhou, and possibly escape the fate of being at the mercy of others.
What makes Liu Qi suspicious is that historical records record that Liu Qi's biological mother, Chen, was rushed over by Cai Mao soon after she died of illness. His sister Cai married Liu Biao. After the young and beautiful Cai gave birth to Liu Cong, she often blew pillows at Liu Biao, ruining Qi's reputation.
Cong, Liu Biao had a soft ear, so he gradually listened to Cai's words, alienated Liu Qi and fell in love with Liu Cong even more.
Liu Cong was already seven or eight years old, and Liu Biao did not have the idea of growing up and abandoning the young. Presumably Cai's pillow style for seven or eight years had no effect. However, there are other historical records that Cai really loved Liu Cong.
To hate Liu Qi, it was only after Cai married his niece to Liu Cong that he and his brother Cai Hao planned to get rid of Liu Qi.
Regarding historical records, Liu Qi's attitude is that one cannot disbelieve them, but one cannot fully believe them.
So, whether Liu Biao really liked Liu Qi from the bottom of his heart at this time, or whether he deliberately pretended to be a fatherly face in front of everyone, Liu Qi, who swallowed rat poison and lay in bed in pain to exercise the poison, could not ignore it indifferently. In the Three Kingdoms
In this almost crazy world where everyone is self-preserving and in danger, but everyone is trying to do something for others, a slight carelessness in words or deeds may lead to death.
Liu Biao's words were spoken and listened to. Liu Qi, who swallowed rat poison in desperation and was in danger, recorded all his resentment on Cai Hao, and sighed in his heart: It was all Cai Hao's fault...
Except for Liu Biao talking to himself, everyone in the room was silent. Liu Qi, who was in the process of practicing his martial arts, enjoyed this rare quietness, and his consciousness was a little blurry, remembering the scene of swallowing rat poison.
In the patio of the yard where the four maids' bodies were laid out, Liu Qi untied the poisonous rat poison wrapped in yellow silk that Liu Zhong had taken. When he grabbed a handful, an idea suddenly occurred to him, so he grabbed more without hesitation.
In desperation, Liu Qi took a gamble, and the gamble was huge. He was directly gambling with his own life. He was betting that the rat poison of the Three Kingdoms would not kill anyone if he swallowed it.
As a result, Liu Qi really won the bet, why? It was because Liu Qi had a flash of inspiration when he was catching rat poison. That was the light of wisdom.
Liu Qi's wisdom in swallowing poison and gambling with his life was due to the words of the housekeeper Liu Zhong, "Hedinghong is a banned highly toxic drug and has never been used in the house."
Liu Qi analyzed the word "prohibited". At that time, the government strictly controlled highly toxic drugs. Potent poisons that could cause immediate death, such as Crane's Crown Red, Heartbroken Grass, and Dove Wine, would never flow into the people. However, the government could not help but distribute them to the people in large quantities.
The poisonous rat poison should not cause immediate death to people, and the government should also have a limit on the toxicity intensity. As long as it can poison rats but not people, you can get regular treatment even if you accidentally eat rat poison. This is true, history books
There are few records of deaths caused by accidental ingestion of rat poison in the Three Kingdoms.
The first time I gambled on life in the Three Kingdoms, I won the bet, all thanks to the emergence of the aura of wisdom, which saved Liu Qi's life.
But the stakes are too high. If something unexpected happens, rat poison is as good as arsenic, and Liu Qi may not be able to travel through time again. God can bless you once, but can he bless you two or three times?
If Liu Qi swallowed rat poison by accident, he would have died, and it would undoubtedly become a vivid example in history of "you will not survive if you do something wrong".
Fortunately, the poisonous rat poison from the Three Kingdoms period was just as Liu Qi guessed. It was not toxic enough and could only kill rats but not people. Of course, if you swallowed a big bag of rat poison as food, it would be another problem.
Don't worry, there is no way to stop people from wanting to die.
When Liu Qi swallowed the rat poison, there was still a sweet feeling on the tip of his tongue. When he walked to the bed and lay down, he had an attack. He immediately felt queasy and vomited. However, Liu Qi, who had been in a coma for seven days without eating, had a seizure.
There is nothing in the stomach, and the abdomen is full of yellow water, which is bile.
After vomiting, Liu Qi quickly pulled his hair to pieces, tore open his clothes, grabbed the pottery cup in the hand of the maid who followed him and threw it to the ground to create a painful scene. Then he lay down in front of the bed and pretended to die, secretly using Qigong to force the poison to spread.
If you want to pretend to be dead, you have to pretend to be like it. When Liu Biao and Cai Mao came in, they saw Liu Qi dying from poisoning.
Liu Qi's poisoning was concealed so well that even the housekeeper Liu Zhong, who was mentally prepared in advance, was stunned and fainted.
Just when Liu Qi was secretly using his energy to force out poison, and Liu Biao was mumbling to himself in a trance, footsteps came from outside the bedroom, and one of Liu Biao's guards shouted: "The imperial doctor has arrived."
Seeing the arrival of the imperial physician, Liu Biao quickly stood up and bowed deeply to the imperial physician: "Imperial physician, my son's life depends entirely on you."
The imperial physician, who had gray hair on his temples and a long beard that hung down his chest, had never seen his lord being so polite. He quickly knelt down and said in fear: "My lord, your great gift will kill an old man. I will do my best to do it."
After the imperial doctor bowed to Liu Biao, he walked up to Liu Qi and felt his pulse. He was so surprised that he kept saying, "My lord, what a strange symptom. The young master seems to be critically ill, but his pulse is stable. I have never seen such a disease in my decades of medical practice. If I can easily
If you take the medicine, I might risk your life, so please ask someone to help you."
"Oh, can that young master be saved?" Liu Biao didn't know medical skills, so he believed in the words of the imperial doctor.
"Alas, the young master has been poisoned. The poison has penetrated into the internal organs. If the poison can be expelled and the body is cleansed, there is still hope. However, the young master has been weak for many days and has not eaten. We are afraid that the poison will enter the blood and attract it. There is nothing we can do." The imperial doctor tugged his beard and sighed.
"Then what should we do?" Liu Biao was so anxious that he had no idea.
"Emperor Physician, you must save my young master, otherwise, I will kill you." Liu Zhong, who had just fainted from grief, was supported by several guards on the cloth mat next to the desk and rested for a while.
Because Liu Zhong was thinking about Liu Qi's life and death, he subconsciously couldn't fall down. He woke up in a moment. When he heard that the imperial doctor could not save Liu Qi, Liu Zhong was so anxious that he couldn't care about all the etiquette and directly took out his anger on the imperial doctor.
"Housekeeper, doctors have specialties. Not to mention that I can treat tens of thousands of patients. My pulse condition is unprecedented, and my life and death are unknown. Even if you want to kill me, I can't do anything." The imperial doctor was not afraid of Liu Zhong's threat and kept a calm attitude.
The doctor's awe-inspiring and righteous ethics stood aside helplessly.
The imperial doctor was neither humble nor arrogant, but Liu Zhong was panicking. Looking at Liu Qi who was still alive and dead on the bed, he glared at the imperial doctor. Even if a thousand arrows pierced his heart, he could not help Liu Qi in the slightest. He could only feel sad and sorrowful.
"Imperial Physician, as you said, my son's pulse is stable, so he is likely to be saved. Can you take a medicine or two to delay the condition and wait for Mr. Hua Tuo to come before rescuing him?" Liu Biao never believed that Liu Qi could die at such a young age.
Human world.
"That's all." The imperial doctor responded, opening the medicine box with ease and taking out several small jars to give Liu Qi medicine.
Liu Qi was using Qigong to force out the poison. He was very unhappy when he heard that the imperial doctor wanted to give him medicine. It was a critical moment to exercise Qigong. If a foreign object suddenly entered his abdomen, wouldn't it mean that the balance of Qigong would be broken and the result would be in vain?
Now Liu Qi couldn't hold back his anger, and he was not dead. Why did Liu Biao, Cai Hao and others stay in the room and refused to leave? If the toxicity of rat poison was accumulated in the body for too long and was not forced out, I'm afraid the poison would enter the blood.
I can't force him out even if he wants to.
What Liu Qi needed at this moment was silence. It would be best if no one could see Liu Qi force out the poison. Fortunately, Liu Zhong, who fainted from shock, had woken up. Liu Qi had already reported the symptoms after taking the poison when he whispered to Liu Zhong during the poison trick.
Liu Biao and Cai Hao had to leave after seeing Liu Qi's symptoms. Did Liu Zhong forget?
Liu Qi was thinking about whether he should open his eyes to remind Liu Zhong and let the people in the room leave. Otherwise, one more minute would put Liu Qi in more danger and it would be difficult to force the poison out of the body.
He has taken a risk once, but this time Liu Qi will never take it again. Only a fool would make fun of his own life a second time!
Liu Qi decided to remain silent for dozens of times. If Liu Biao, Cai Hao and others did not leave, even if the poison-eating trick was discovered, Liu Qi would have to expel the rat poison from his body. When the poison was expelled, he would definitely be able to react like a normal person.
The rat poison stuck halfway in the throat will be fine once you spit it out.
If he did that, Liu Qi's strategy of pretending to be dead would be self-defeating. How could he hide it from the cunning Cai Mao?
Whether the plan is broken or not, it is better than not forcing the poison out, and it will not cause a living person to die of urination.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..." Liu Qi silently counted the tens and prepared to detoxify. If nothing happened after counting down to one, Liu Qi would not care about that. He would first force out the rat poison from his body and save his life and property.
.
Of course, when Liu Qi spit out the poison, he also had to create chaos. He would not give Cai Mao any advantage. That is, he had to spit the rat poison stuck in his throat onto Cai Hao. Even if Cai Hao was extremely angry, he would not dare to do it.
People who are sick get angry.
"Three, two..." Liu Qi muttered to one in silence, secretly raised his Dantian Qi, and was about to open his eyes and spit out rat poison at Cai Mao, but heard Liu Zhong's angry voice: "Imperial doctor, wait a minute, can you guarantee that the master's illness will be cured by using the medicine?"
?”
"No." The elderly imperial doctor looked at Liu Zhong suspiciously.
"Can we guarantee that the young master will take the medicine without any accidents?" Liu Zhong pressed.
"No." The imperial doctor couldn't stand Liu Zhong's questioning, and small beads of sweat were secreted on his forehead. Even if the doctors in the world were completely sure, they would not cure a certain disease, and no one would guarantee that there would be no accidents after taking the medicine.
"In this case, the imperial doctor knew that the young master's pulse was stable, so why didn't he let the young master rest and wait for the miracle doctor? If the medicine cannot cure the disease and ensure that the young master is fine, the medicine used by the imperial doctor will speed up the blood flow and blind the patient. Even if Hua Tuo comes, it will not help."
Liu Zhong woke up from a stupor and remembered what Liu Qi had told him. He spent all his life learning and came up with a few words that frightened the imperial doctor who had been practicing medicine for decades.
"This, this..." The imperial doctor blushed at Liu Zhong's argument. He didn't understand how a housekeeper in a young master's residence was still proficient in medical skills. It was really strange.
In order not to get into trouble, the imperial doctor tremblingly put the small jar in his hand back into the medicine box, and said deeply to Liu Biao: "My lord, what the steward said is true. The virus is unknown, I cannot touch it, and I need to be quiet.
Hua Tuo can be saved."
"Okay, okay, all of you, please step aside and go quickly to ask for Mr. Hua Tuo." Hearing that Hua Tuo could save Liu Qi, Liu Biao kept saying yes, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
