After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray
Chapter 40: Bone Scraping and Poison Treatment
Li Jin and Lu Yin looked at each other and then quickly looked away, both of them looking like they had ulterior motives.
I looked at the two of them, then at the old lady, and said, "Originally, when the heat toxins first appeared, taking some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines and supplementing with diet therapy should have quickly cleared the heat toxins from the body. But you have seen so many doctors and taken so many different prescriptions of medicine, which has messed up the symptoms. Not only can the heat toxins not be expelled, but they have accumulated in the internal organs, seriously damaging the old lady's health."
As soon as I finished speaking, Li Jin suddenly knelt down in front of the old lady with a plop, knocking his head loudly, crying and saying, "Mother, I am unfilial. It is all my fault. Beat me to death!"
I knew Li Jin was going to do something weird, but I didn't expect such a magical move. Not only did it scare me, but it also made Yiping, who was eating, choke. I hurriedly massaged Yiping's back and she finally spit out the piece of chicken stuck in her throat, which almost cost her life.
The old lady pretended not to notice and silently moved the fish meat in the bowl to the bone plate, saying, "If the fish meat can't be eaten, you can at least eat the shrimp."
I quickly held her down with one hand and said, "You can't eat shrimp either. I guess the old lady's upper legs are already covered with heat and poison sores, right? If she continues to eat these irritating foods, it will accelerate the onset of systemic poisoning. By then, I'm afraid even the gods won't be able to save her."
When the old lady heard this, she threw her chopsticks onto the table with a "bang" and said, "You can't eat fish, and you can't eat shrimp either. Forget it, just carry me into the house and let me rest."
Lu Yin stood up quickly and shouted, "Someone, bring the old lady into the house."
As soon as Lu Yin finished speaking, two strong men rushed in from outside, ran behind the old lady like a gust of wind, one of them grabbed the armrest of a chair, lifted it lightly, and ran into the inner room like a gust of wind again.
I was stunned and pointed at the two strong men and shouted, "Aren't these the two people who dragged me off the carriage just now?"
Yiping whispered, "It looks like that to me, too."
Lu Yin walked over to me and sat down leisurely, as if nothing had happened. He said, "The food is getting cold. Come on, let's eat first."
Li Jin, who had been kowtowing, slowly stood up with a big bump on his forehead. He walked to the table and sat down. He picked up a wet towel, wiped his face vigorously, and said with a sigh, "I'm so tired."
Lu Yin smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master!"
I stared at Li Jin blankly, then turned my head to look at Lu Yin. It was as if a flash of lightning flashed through my mind. I pointed at Li Jin, then at Lu Yin, and said in disbelief: "You, you, you are kidding me."
Lu Yin pressed my finger down and said with a smile, "Miss Zhao is overthinking."
"Over your head!" I shouted angrily, "Do you think this is fun?"
As I was talking, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Ever since she traveled through time, she had been either beaten, wronged, or treated like a fool by Zheng Xian. All kinds of grievances, sadness, and dissatisfaction flooded into her heart in an instant, and tears could not help but flow down like a faucet that had been turned on.
Yiping quickly jumped over and hugged me, buried her head in my chest, and cried, "Don't cry, sister. If you cry, I will cry too."
Li Jin and Lu Yin didn't expect that I would burst into tears suddenly. There was a hint of embarrassment in their eyes. They pouted and looked at each other, then looked outside the door.
At this time, Zheng Xian quietly peeked in from outside the door, took a look, and immediately retracted his head.
I looked at that big round head and yelled angrily, "Come in!"
Li Jin and Lu Yin's faces changed, and they quickly stood up, knelt on the ground, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Zheng Xian hid behind the door and whispered, "I will go in after your anger subsides."
I got even angrier after hearing that. I picked up a bowl and threw it at the door, shouting, "You liar, you think you are so great just because you are an emperor and you can fool people. But I am also a human being. I have self-respect, okay?"
Li Jin and Lu Yin were so frightened that they trembled even more violently, buried their heads deeply in the ground, and dared not move.
Yiping held my hand tightly to prevent me from smashing the second bowl, and said loudly: "Second sister, second sister, don't be angry. What if they ask you to pay for the money you smashed this bowl?"
I was so confused by what he said. What was going on in my head? Is this the time to talk about money? I wanted to smash him to death with a bowl of rice!
But as soon as I hesitated, my hands stopped moving.
Zheng Xian saw the opportunity and quickly flashed in from the door, saying, "I didn't expect the little girl to have such a bad temper."
I gritted my teeth and said, "There are so many things you can't imagine. Tell me, why did you lie to me again? Didn't you say you wouldn't lie to me again?"
Zheng Xian smirked a few times and said, "It can be considered a lie. At most, it can only be considered a test. Ha, a test."
"Just give it a try, what's the point of trying?" I was almost driven crazy by him, I was so angry that I almost lost my mind and just wanted to beat him up.
Zheng Xian quickly brought a cup of tea to me and said, "You've been shouting for so long, your throat must be dry. Come on, have a cup of tea, and let's sit down and talk slowly."
Zheng Xian always does the right thing at the right time.
I was really angry and my mouth was dry, so I took the teacup and drank it in one gulp without hesitation.
Zheng Xian was stroking my back while saying, "Don't be impatient, let me explain it slowly."
I was like a cat with its fur standing on end, but after Zheng Xian stroked me, I couldn't get angry anymore.
Zheng Xian went on to say, "Madame Lu is my wet nurse. When I brought her out of the palace, she was already suffering from a variety of illnesses. After so many years of nursing, her condition has not only not improved, but has become worse day by day. As you can see, the wet nurse doesn't have many days left."
I thought about it and said, "Actually, there is still a way to cure it?"
Zheng Xian immediately asked: "Do you have a cure?"
I continued, "Yes, there is, but the treatment process is very painful. Have you ever heard of scraping bones to cure poison?"
Scraping bones to treat poison is an allusion handed down from the story of Hua Tuo treating Guan Yu's injuries during the Three Kingdoms period.
This story is not meant to illustrate how superb Hua Tuo's medical skills are, but to praise Guan Yu for the fact that during the treatment process, his arm was covered in blood, which had even overflowed from the plate, but Guan Yu was still cutting meat, drinking, and chatting and laughing as usual, without showing any sign of pain.
"Scrape the bones to cure the poison?" Zheng Xian lowered his head and muttered, then raised his head and looked at me and said, "Is it like you opened up Concubine Yu's belly to get the baby? Do you need to cut open the flesh on Lu Ma's leg and scrape the poison off the leg bones?"
I didn't expect Zheng Xian to be so smart and understand things so quickly.
I nodded and said, "This bone scraping to cure the poison is much less risky than a caesarean section, but Aunt Lu is old and weak. Even with anesthesia, I'm afraid she won't be able to endure the pain and it will hasten her death."
