Luo Jiuli didn't recognize the middle-aged man, but saw Mrs. Du next to her walking towards the middle-aged man.
"When did the master come back?"
Behind him, Luo Jiuli suddenly realized that this middle-aged man was Du Heng, the father of Du Qilin and the cabinet bachelor.
Not to mention, this Master Du really has the air of a Confucian scholar in his whole body.
"I just came back not long ago."
After Du Heng finished speaking, he looked at Luo Jiuli.
Luo Jiuli hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"Luo Jiuli has met Mr. Du."
Du Heng raised his hand.
"Girl of the Luo family, you don't have to bow. Speaking of which, it's me, Du Fu, who has disturbed you brothers and sisters."
He had long heard about Luo Jiuli's medical skills, how he saved the dying soldier in the Ministry of Punishment, and how he revived Mrs. Fengde in the palace.
What's more, if he can get the true biography of the immortal doctor Ling Xuzi and be recognized by the emperor and the nine kings, he naturally can't neglect him.
When Luo Jiuli heard Du Heng call her the girl of the Luo family, she felt close to him. Thinking about it, this Du Heng also had a good relationship with her father.
"Mr. Du is very serious. Mr. Du and my father were officials in the same court, and Mr. Du and my second brother are classmates and good friends. It is actually polite to say so."
Du Heng stroked his beard and nodded, his eyes a little more searching.
In the past, he had met Luo Jiuli. At that time, Luo Jiuli's eyes were not as firm as they are now, and his tone of voice was soft and soft. At first glance, he looked like a timid and weak man who was well protected by his parents.
Miss.
So much so that when Luo Jiuli married King Zhao, King Zhao also married his concubine on the wedding night.
He also muttered that with Luo Jiuli's weak and timid temperament, he would definitely not be able to frighten the demons and monsters in Prince Zhao's Palace when he entered the Palace.
Unexpectedly, as expected, this girl was almost killed in Prince Zhao's Mansion.
But who would have thought that all the twists and turns, the aftermath of the disaster, and the price of suffering would be to sharpen the edges of this girl's temperament.
From being docile, timid, and weak in the past, to now being neither arrogant nor impetuous, and being polite and polite, this girl can be regarded as having a great enlightenment.
On the side, Du Qilin stepped forward.
"Father, Miss Luo Er, tea has been prepared in the flower hall."
"That's right, it's always inconvenient to stand in the courtyard and talk. Let's go sit in the flower hall."
Mrs. Du showed off her mistress-like style, stepped forward and took Luo Jiuli's hand affectionately, smiling.
"Miss Luo Er, I specially asked someone to prepare scented tea for Miss Luo Er to try."
Previously, Luo Jiuli married King Zhao and was his concubine.
After she reconciled with Prince Zhao, she also rescued Mrs. Fengde in the palace, which was highly appreciated by the emperor. She heard that she had recently become very close to the Ninth Prince, so naturally she couldn't neglect her.
"It's time for you, Madam."
The group of people entered the flower hall and took their seats.
At the same time, in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Xiao Mingxuan was sitting behind a desk, approving the documents sent by the army.
Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door.
"master."
It was Qin Wu's voice.
Xiao Mingxuan paused with the pen tip in his hand and said in a cold voice.
"Come in."
Qin Wu opened the door and walked in.
"Why are you back? But something happened to Luo Jiuli?"
Qin Wu shook his head.
"Master, don't worry. Miss Luo Er is fine. However, today Miss Luo Er and Luo Yuanjia went to the Du Mansion."
"Du Fu? Which Du Fu?"
Xiao Mingxuan frowned, a little confused.
Qin Wudao:
"Cabinet Grand Scholar Du Heng, Mr. Du."
"Du Heng? Why is she going to Du Mansion?"
Qin Wudao:
"My subordinates have inquired and found out that it was Du Qilin, the eldest son of the Du family, who asked Luo Yuanjia to let the second lady go and see Mrs. Du."
When Xiao Mingxuan heard this, his frown relaxed.
"She is very warm-hearted. She has become a thorn in the side of those imperial doctors, but she doesn't know how to restrain herself."
"Go ahead and keep a good guard over her. Don't let anything happen to her."
"yes."
Qin Wu responded, thinking that his master was heartbroken for Miss Luo Er, so he turned and left the study.
——
Du Mansion, in the Flower Hall.
Du Qilin asked impatiently:
"Miss Luo Er, has my grandmother's illness been found out?"
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"It's tapeworm."
"Taeniasis, tapeworm disease? What is that disease?"
Du Qilin swallowed uneasily, and even Mr. Du and Mrs. Du looked at Luo Jiuli nervously.
Luo Yuanjia was also full of doubts.
"Little sister, you are speaking more clearly."
Taeniasis, the name sounds scary.
Luo Jiuli looked at those people, considered his words and said:
"Taeniasis is a disease caused by young tapeworms that live in the intestines. I suspect that the old lady contracted the disease from eating undercooked pork that contained cysticercosis."
"But fortunately, it is cysticerci. Cysticocysts enter the body and are adsorbed on the intestinal wall. They gradually divide into larvae. People who are sick in the early stage will not have any symptoms until the larvae penetrate the intestinal wall and enter the blood vessels and are carried to the muscles of various parts of the body.
Only when cysticerci develop into cysticerci will the patient become ill."
"Because tapeworms have the habit of moving toward the animal's nerve center, the old lady once suffered from headaches and suffered temporary blindness. Fortunately, the doctor you found was timely and prescribed medicine immediately, so that the larvae did not enter the brain and moved to the upper abdomen.
The old lady survived the catastrophe and saved her life."
How calm Luo Jiuli said was, how scared the people in the flower hall were.
Even the tea cup held in Mrs. Du's hand fell directly to the ground, her face was completely drained of blood, and her eyes showed fear.
Mr. Du, who had always been calm, also changed his expression slightly, not to mention Du Qilin and Luo Yuanjia.
The two of them covered their mouths in unison, holding back the nausea in their stomachs.
Although no one could understand the new words Luo Jiuli said, such as division, intestinal wall, and nerve center.
But everyone understood that there were bugs in the old lady's body, and they were bugs that could swim around at will and kill people.
Du Qilin finally suppressed the nauseating feeling in his stomach and looked at Luo Jiuli.
"In other words, that bug, that bug is still in my grandmother's body."
"yes."
Luo Jiuli nodded, but did not dare to tell them that the larvae that the cysticercus split into was more than just a worm.
On the side, Mr. Du was the first to calm down.
"Is there any way to remove it?"
"have."
Luo Jiuli nodded and opened the medicine box as he spoke.
I took out niclosamide, which is also known as fentanyl, as well as antiemetics and laxatives. I sorted out the various drugs with palm-sized pieces of straw paper and wrapped them in eight small packages in total.
"This is a four-day course of treatment, twice a day. First, take a white antiemetic to prevent vomiting. Then take a light yellow methane, chew it orally and drink less water. After an hour, take another white
Laxative in tablet form.”
"After four days in a row, the disease will be cured by the medicine, but during this period, the old lady's bedding, clothes, bedpans, etc. must all be burned and replaced with new ones."
