Before leaving, Liu Ruhai held a lantern, stopped and looked at the copper lock on Cao's courtyard, frowning slightly.
He came closer, holding the lantern closer, and looked closely at the traces of the keyhole.
Someone has been here.
An enemy? He thought.
This time she was really avoiding trouble. Even her parents were trapped in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
There is still one month until Su Jintian and Yang Pingcui fight.
Huaiyuan.
The lights were brightly lit, and the servants came and went in panic. The young master in the main room fell ill again late at night.
Liu Ruhai hurried back. It was because Li Guogong's mansion suddenly sent a notice to the Hou's mansion at night, asking him, a good female doctor, to stay overnight. Liu Ruhai was summoned by the Marquis to the outer study, and he had a few words with the steward of the Duke's mansion.
, now that he heard the news that the young master was ill, he hurried back.
The Marquis was shocked and came in person. Liu Ruhai sat by the kang and checked the pulse of the concubine of the Marquis of Song Dynasty. He frowned slightly.
This child's foundation is too weak.
The concubine gave birth to a child. The mother seemed not to be particularly healthy and had difficulty giving birth.
"It's corpse virus disease." He looked at the Marquis in deep confusion. He had been tracking the patients in the temple cemetery and the Xiaoling construction site. When he entered the Marquis's mansion, he was tracking the six people who had interacted with Prince Pingnanbo.
Master Song Chengfeng, he never expected that the real patient would be this little concubine who never left the house.
And it’s not like corpse plague, it’s poisoning?
Maybe his medical skills are shallow.
He cupped his hands and asked directly: "Where did the young master contract this...this disease? This is corpse poisoning syndrome."
"Corpse poison?" Mr. Hou's eyes changed.
Even the second manager was slightly shocked. He looked at this young famous doctor. Other doctors came in and out of the noble house. They knew what to say and what not to say, but they were never as reckless as him. But from what he had seen these days, Liu Ruhai must be very deep in the palace.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be willing to deliver news to the Prince of Jiubian Domain on behalf of the Marquis.
Moreover, Concubine Cheng is his fiancée?
He actually didn't say a word. Who could tell in Prince Zhou's Mansion?
The Marquis thought that with this information, he could naturally be used by the court. Especially since he came from a famous medical family and had excellent rejuvenating medical skills. He was in and out of the feudal prince's palace. If he got sick, he could unknowingly take the prince's life.
Yes, it is not difficult to think about it.
The wet nurse was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "Young Master never leaves the house and never sees dead people."
Liu Ruhai shook his head, stood up, and took out the medicine box he brought from home from the medical box.
The box carved from fragrant wood was opened, and inside was a green-leaf herb with red fruits and yellow flowers. It looked ordinary and nothing strange, and he said: "Master Marquis, please take a look. This is corpse poison herb, also known as Tomb Turning Back."
Song Chengming took a look and saw that it looked like an ordinary medicinal herb. His anxious heart was slightly relieved.
In fact, the word "corpse poison" makes people think of it too much.
"This herb mostly grows on moist slopes, so if you want to collect it, you can often find it near the cemetery. Therefore, it is also called Tomb Turning Back. Because it can cure children's sores, folklore says that sores are haunted by ghosts and gods, so this herb is also
It's called corpse poison grass. Its red fruit -" he picked off the fruit, "the fruit can cure childhood sores and typhoid fever. It is a good medicinal material. But the pollen is poisonous."
He kept the herb in the box without taking it out. He pointed to the stamens in the flower and explained, "After being poisoned, this is what the young master will do."
Song Jiyu, the concubine of Song Chengming, was twitching all over, his face was twisted, and his mouth and nose were crooked. He looked extremely horrifying.
The second manager, Lian Er, was in the corner and thought to himself, the name of corpse toxin syndrome really sounds like it.
Isn't it like being possessed by a ghost?
"Is it really the poison of the herb?" Manager Lian Er asked after looking at Mr. Hou's expression.
"That's true." Liu Ruhai replied.
Song Chengming's face was solemn. Before he could say anything, Xiliu, who was standing in the room, let out a sigh of relief in her heart. She was called over by the Marquis to wait on her again.
She also knew that this was a knock on Mrs. Hou.
But she has never heard of this, and my wife must not know about such unknown and mysterious herbs.
"I heard that the longevity elixir made by the Chinese master of Yuan Gong uses corpse poison grass as medicine." Liu Ruhai said slowly.
The Marquis of Nankang finally changed his color.
There is only one immortality pill in the world, and it is in the Buddha statue that Mrs. Hou gave her as a bride.
It’s the fourth watch again.
My wife went to bed late today and discussed with Mother Chen until midnight.
The same was true for the girls who were on duty. Cao Xiwan and Yanzhi didn't go back to their room until midnight and slept side by side in the room.
Together they took out the reward that the wife had given them today.
Last time it was a pair of earrings. Today it is a pair of silver-gold hairpins.
One for each person. There is also a white pearl inlaid on the peach blossom hairpin. The gold thread is fine and clear, trembling slightly in the wind.
"It's so exquisite. It looks like it's old at first glance." Cao Xiwan was filled with joy.
Yanzhi smiled and pinched her, despising her for not having seen the world.
"They say you are out in the study. There is no good thing in the world that you don't know! Look at how poor and stingy you are now!"
"That belongs to the Marquis, and this is what my wife rewarded me with." She thought that the reward she received this time was because she and Yanzhi carefully inquired about the news in Huaiyuan.
"Scared, doesn't the Marquis reward you as usual?"
"Am I sick? I have no money."
After laughing for a while, Yanzhi also chuckled: "Although it is small, it is no wonder that the ladies say that when it comes to our wife's dowry, it may not be worse than the prince's mansion. They are all nobles who founded the country and conquered the city.
At that time, which general led the army and stole more treasures?"
"It's a pity that we don't have much gold, so we can't exchange it for much money in pawn." Cao Xiwan secretly thought about it.
She thought about it carefully and decided to give the hairpin to Suyun.
This thing is decent, Suyun must accept her love.
She wanted to see what Liu Ruhai was trying to do in the Marquis of Nankang's mansion to sow discord between the Marquis and his wife. She had heard what Chen's mother reported to Madam Hou.
Liu Ruhai said that the young master was harmed by corpse poisonous grass.
Corpse poison grass can make immortality elixir.
She got out of the bed, hung the Thousand Buddhas picture on the bedside, chanted the Buddha's name, closed her eyes and thought, does anyone not want her to get her wife's Buddha statue?
Fight with a hundred swords?
She suddenly got the note [poisonous], wasn't it meant to sow discord? Show it to Mr. Hou, and Mr. Hou will be angry and suspicious of Lou Shuluan.
"They say that the Marquis also asked your family to deregister their children? Is this the case?" Yanzhi also asked quietly from under the quilt.
She lay down and mumbled, pretending to be asleep. Yanzhi was so angry that she pinched her arm flesh.
She cooed and huddled under the quilt. Actually, she had agreed with the Marquis that when the Marquis inherited the title, she would redeem her parents from the Marquis's mansion and change her nationality outside the mansion.
Buy a house to live in.
The Marquis agreed.
In fact, she had done all the paperwork quietly. But she knew better that it was important to save her life first.
She buried her face and pondered in the darkness. Mr. Hou was too careless and his life would be short.
Mrs. Hou will become a widow. Her life will be really hard.
She only said this to the ghost doctor Chen Ming. Chen Ming laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe and almost rolled over.
——Chen Ming doesn’t believe it, let alone anyone else.
