Chapter 385 Mandragora Poison
Soon, Aunt Liu's blood test result came out, and it was Datura. Oh my god, this person must be very scheming to use such a chronic poison.
Because the whole plant of Datura is poisonous, the fruit and seeds are the most toxic, and the dried leaves are less toxic than the fresh leaves. If a small amount is used as medicine every day, it will cause people to sleep. Judging from the test results, I am afraid that Aunt Liu has been using the medicine for a long time, otherwise this would not happen.
But what should I do? Gastric lavage? If it is discovered early, gastric lavage may still be useful. Oh, Rumei, Rumei must know what solution to use. I can only look at the medical records.
The first thing to do was to wash Aunt Liu's stomach. After a series of operations, Su Qing vomited. She secretly sighed in her heart: "How do my colleagues working in the gastroenterology department hold on? I really admire them!" Even after everything was done, Su Qing was still nauseous.
Aunt Liu's face turned pale, and Su Qing fed her another detoxification pill she prepared. After washing her hands N times, she felt a disgusting smell all over her body. She wanted to go in for a paternity test, but she didn't want to enter the space for a short time. She felt sick just thinking about it.
Su Qing called a maid to watch over the place, and went to the side room to change her clothes. She then asked someone to throw away the clothes.
Then she discussed with Rumei the detoxification method of Datura. Rumei said that licorice could be used to detoxify, but Su Qing didn't believe it. Then she went to the space to look through the medical books. It didn't matter if she didn't read them. After reading them, she realized that many simple herbs could save lives!
In fact, Aunt Liu had already been detoxified after taking the detoxification pills, but Su Qing was still worried.
"Rumei, please write down the prescription so I can see it."
Rumei went to the side and wrote down the prescription. Su Qing picked it up and saw it. She suddenly realized what was going on. The prescription said, "24 qian of mung bean skin, 12 qian of honeysuckle, 6 qian of forsythia, 3 qian of licorice, add water to one liter, boil until 200 mg, three times a day."
These are all medicines for clearing away heat and detoxifying. Wait until Aunt Liu feels better, then give her some laxatives!
"Rumei, go see if Ruxue is back. Then call Ruyi over."
"Yes, ma'am, but...are you okay here alone?"
"What? Is there another tiger that wants to eat me? I need to investigate. Someone must have asked my aunt's people to give her drugs. How could I let him go? Mandragora, how much do you want to kill my aunt? You are so mean. My aunt is such an honest person. She has never crossed the line."
Just as Rumei turned around and was about to leave the room, Ruxue, Ruhu and Ruyi walked into the room together.
"Greetings, Madam!" The three of them bowed to Su Qing in unison.
"Oh, you came at the right time. I was just thinking of asking Rumei to go find you! Speak of the devil and he will appear!" Su Qing said with a smile.
"Madam, please tell me if you have anything to say." Ru Hu and Ru Yi stepped forward and answered in unison.
"This matter can be big or small, but it still needs to be investigated thoroughly. Ruyi, go and help me check the poisoning of my aunt, especially the people around her and the source of the mandragora. Ruhu, go and investigate the situation of the general's wife Qin. Remember, you must be careful and not miss any details. At the same time, you must also pay attention to your own safety and the confidentiality of your actions. Do you understand?" Su Qing ordered with a serious expression.
"Yes, sir!" Ruyi responded and turned away. However, Ruhu did not leave immediately. He thought for a while and then asked, "Madam, do you need me to pick up Wu Yanran?"
"No need for that. She and Li Yue are checking the accounts, so she won't be involved in this matter. You go! Be careful." His tone was calm, but there was a firmness in his eyes.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Ru Hu bowed slightly, turned around and left, his steps steady and powerful.
After Ruhu left, Ruxue asked, "Madam, did you just say that Aunt Liu was poisoned by the mandrake?"
Su Qing nodded gently, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Well, but fortunately it was discovered in time. I have already washed Auntie's stomach and asked her to take the detoxification pill."
Ruxue's heart tightened after hearing this. She knew the strength of the mandrake poison. If it was not detoxified in time, the consequences would be disastrous. She secretly thanked her wife for being there, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Rumei, go and boil the antidote yourself. Bring it here when it's done so I can feed it to my aunt. I hope everything is still in time..."
Rumei listened to Su Qing and went to boil the medicine.
Time passed by, and the room was filled with a tense atmosphere. Finally, Rumei came in with a bowl of steaming medicine.
"Madam, the medicine is ready." Rumei said softly, handing the medicine bowl to Su Qing.
Su Qing took the medicine bowl and walked carefully to Aunt Liu's bed. She scooped up a spoonful of medicine with a spoon, blew on it, and then slowly fed it into her mouth.
Although less of the medicine was fed in and it all flowed out, Su Qing felt a little more relaxed after watching Aunt Liu swallow the medicine. She prayed that the antidote would work and let Aunt Liu wake up as soon as possible.
However, the waiting process is always long and tormenting. Su Qing silently stayed by the bed, hoping that her aunt would wake up soon.
Su Qing hadn't eaten anything for the whole day. She really couldn't eat and felt a little nauseous.
Ruxue and Rumei thought that Su Qing didn't eat because she was worried about Aunt Liu, so they advised her to eat something. But Su Qing didn't give them any face and she really couldn't eat!
It was not until the evening that Su Qing discovered that no one came to visit Aunt Liu, and she felt very strange.
After midnight, Aunt Liu showed some signs of waking up, because Su Qing discovered that Aunt Liu's hands moved.
Su Qing held Aunt Liu's hand and told her the original owner's memory. Aunt Liu's eyes moved a few times and slowly opened.
"Aunt, you finally woke up? That's great! I'll go get you a glass of water to moisten your throat." Seeing Liu waking up, Su Qing was so excited that tears filled her eyes, but she quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned around to pour water for Liu.
Liu took the cup of water from Su Qing and drank it all in one gulp, as if she had gained new vitality. She reached out and gently stroked Su Qing's face, saying weakly, "Just now I felt like I had set foot on the road to the underworld, but the King of Hell refused to take me in. He told me that my child was calling me back to the human world."
Hearing this, Su Qing's tears burst out like a dam bursting. She couldn't suppress her inner sadness and moved, and let the tears keep falling. "Aunt, don't say that. You will live a long life! We will spend many good times together." Su Qing held Liu's hand tightly, trying to give her warmth and strength.
Aunt Liu nodded slightly, indicating that she understood Su Qing's feelings. Then she raised her hand with all her strength, pointed to a cabinet in the corner of the room, and said to Su Qing: "Child, don't cry. There is a brocade box hidden at the bottom of the cabinet. Please help me take it out. There is a very important letter in it." After saying that, Aunt Liu closed her eyes, seeming a little exhausted.
Su Qing quickly agreed, "Okay, Auntie, I'll get it right away." She quickly walked to the cabinet and found the brocade box according to the location Liu pointed out. After opening the box, she found a sealed letter. Su Qing carefully took out the letter, her heart full of curiosity and expectation. She knew that this letter might hide important information or secrets that Liu wanted to convey to her.
