Children of Loulan

"Special physique?"

The concubine obviously didn't believe it.

The court doctor replied slowly: "Yes, everyone's physique is different. For example, most people can eat eggs, but a few people cannot. If they eat them, they will itch all over their body."

"I have indeed heard about this!"

After all, Aunt Taji came from the palace, so she naturally had much more experience than these little girls.

"That is to say, if it was someone else, it might take two or three days for the disease to break out, but because of her special physique, it broke out in just one go!"

The court doctor looked at the person who was speaking. He wanted to nod his head, but when he saw the woman who was speaking, he saw that her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. The court doctor was also frightened and immediately said:

"Miss, are you feeling unwell? Can I take your pulse?"

No one noticed until he said it, but once he said it, everyone looked at the person who spoke at the same time.

The woman who spoke was none other than Gu Lixian. At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Her body was also trembling slightly, as if she would fall down if the wind blew. Seeing this, the maid next to her was so scared that she rushed over and supported her young lady, and asked with a worried look on her face:

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look like this?"

Gu Lixian just shook her head slightly and did not answer the maid's question. Instead, she turned her gaze to the palace doctor in front of her and said in a firm tone:

"Thank you for your kindness, doctor, but it's really not necessary."

After saying that, she turned her head again and stared at Auntie Taji standing beside her, her eyes full of pleading, "Please make sure to find out the truth about this poisoning and find out who is behind it!"

At this moment, a burst of whispers suddenly came from the crowd.

"She looks like this... is she frightened? But she is so proud on weekdays, it doesn't seem like she would scare herself to this extent because of others."

"Who knows? There might be some hidden story. And I haven't seen her and Adora being so close in the past. Now they seem to be like sisters with deep affection."

"Hey, look at the name on the food box. It doesn't seem to be Dora's name."

The discussion was not loud, but everyone present heard it, and they all turned to look at the label on the food box.

Someone exclaimed

"It's Gu Lixian, but why is Gu Lixian's food box here?"

After everyone saw the name on the food box, they all looked at Gu Lixian in surprise.

"Yes, this food box was originally mine, so the poison should have been given to me!"

Gu Lixian is still frightened at the thought that the poison would disfigure her. No one knows how panicked and scared she was when she heard that the poison was in the food.

She also began to explain to everyone how her food box came to Dora!

Dora looked at the food box with a hollow look in her eyes, and her mind began to sink into memories.

It turned out that after studying the music course yesterday, when she returned with Gu Lixian, she did not go back to her room to rest, but went straight to Gu Lixian's room to sit for a while.

After all, she was recruited by Gu Lixian, so she naturally wanted to know the person behind this "good friend" - behind him was the support of the royal dignitaries! Because of this, she secretly thought about whether she could use this relationship to cling to the big tree of the palace. If she could really hold on to this thigh as she wished, then her future would be bright and the road would be smooth!

However, things did not go as planned. After she chatted with Gu Lixian for a while to get closer, a maid came into the house with a food box. She stared at the exquisite food box and said expectantly:

"Wow, dinner is served so soon? Let me see what delicious dishes the kitchen has prepared today."

As she was talking, Gu Lixian's personal maid gently opened the lid of the food box, and immediately a tempting aroma of food came to her face. She couldn't wait to stand up and get closer to see what kind of food was inside.

Just as she left her seat, a piercing cold wind suddenly blew in from the door. She couldn't help but shiver all over, and felt an unbearable itch on the tip of her nose. She couldn't help but sneeze twice in succession:

"A sneeze! A sneeze..."

After the series of sneezes ended, she instinctively reached out and rubbed her itchy nose. When the strange feeling disappeared, she slowly opened her eyes.

But when she opened her eyes, she realized that she did not turn her head when she sneezed, and Gu Lixian's food box was right in front of her. Although her sneeze was not directly at the food, and she sat down subconsciously when she sneezed, it was also at the food box, and the sneeze was sprayed on the outer wall of the food box, and the lid of the food box was still open.

She looked at Gu Lixian awkwardly.

"I'm so sorry, sister. It's all my fault. I accidentally soiled your food. Please switch with me!"

As he spoke, he closed the food box, held it in his hand, turned to his maid and said:

"Go and get my portion..."

After hearing the order, the maid quickly turned around and left. Gu Lixian smiled and responded politely:

"It's okay, it's just that the weather is still a bit cold and damp recently. You must remember to wear more clothes and don't catch a cold."

"Thank you for your concern, sister. I will keep it in mind." Just as the two were talking, the maid moved quickly and came over with a food box in the blink of an eye.

She walked forward quickly, took the food box from the maid, and gently placed it on the table. Then, she handed the other food box that she had been holding tightly in her hand to the maid. Then, she took a step back and bowed deeply to Gu Lixian to express her apology.

"I'm so sorry to bother you. I won't bother you any more. Please enjoy your meal first."

Gu Lixian nodded slightly, said "hmm" softly, then stood up and personally walked her to the door.

After Dora left, Gu Lixian returned to the house. Dora went straight back to her room and opened the meal without hesitation to enjoy it. However, something unexpected happened...

At this point, Dora's memories ended, and Gu Lixian finally explained to everyone the whole story.

"So I beg you to find out who the person who poisoned me is. This was originally aimed at me, and Sister Dora was implicated by me!"

After saying this, she looked at the court doctor with pleading eyes and said:

"Doctor, Sister Dora's injury depends on you, please make sure to heal her!"

Dora seemed to come back to her senses and glanced at Gulixian. She was very angry. She had been poisoned by this woman without knowing it. In fact, she looked down on this woman from the bottom of her heart. However, she wanted to use the power behind her, but she didn't expect... She didn't expect that she would become her scapegoat. She was so angry.

But she also understood that now was not the time to worry about this. The most important thing now was to heal her face, and secondly to find out who had poisoned her. As for this woman, it would not be too late to deal with her after she recovered.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and then looked at the court doctor again, and said with a slightly trembling voice:

"Doctor, please tell me the truth. What happened to my face?"

The court doctor looked embarrassed and hesitant. He once again looked to Auntie Taji standing beside him for help, as if hoping to get some instructions or confirmation. After Auntie Taji nodded slightly to show her agreement, the court doctor slowly spoke.

"Originally, the toxin content in these foods is not enough to cause such serious consequences. However, due to the girl's special physique, and the fact that the symptoms occur at night, if it were during the day, as long as she could endure and not scratch, the condition should have improved quickly and she would have recovered. Unfortunately..."

"What is it?" Dora's heartbeat became more and more rapid. She clenched her hands tightly, and her palms even began to sweat. She stared at the court doctor without blinking, afraid to miss any key information.

"The current situation is that the rash that the girl originally suffered from poisoning will subside in a few days. But those scratched wounds... I'm afraid they will take longer to heal, and may leave scars." The court doctor's tone was full of regret and helplessness.

"Can't the scratch heal? It's just a little skin break, the wound isn't deep, right?"

The more Dora listened, the more anxious she became. She was especially afraid to hear the court doctor say that her face would never heal.

The court doctor said: "Yes, the scratches on the girl's face were not deep and could have healed. However, when she scratched her face, she broke the rash, and the pus in the rash flowed into the wound. If you look at the rash or the scratches alone, it's not a big deal. But the rash broke the skin, the pus flowed out, and there were scratches. Together, the two will leave scars on the face after the treatment."

Hearing the words of the court doctor, Dora was struck by lightning, and her body instantly lost strength and collapsed to the ground. Her maid saw this and was extremely worried. She hurried forward to support her and comforted her with a crying voice:

"Miss, please don't lose heart! I've heard before that some highly skilled doctors have specially made scar removal creams that are very effective. As long as... as long as you keep applying it for a few months, your skin will be restored to its original state."

The maid's words seemed to give Dora a glimmer of hope, and her originally dull eyes suddenly lit up. However, before Dora could respond, Gu Lixian beside her could not wait to turn her head and look at the palace doctor, and said anxiously:

"Yes, yes, doctor, do you know how to make scar cream?"

The court doctor hesitated for a moment, his eyes wandering between Gu Lixian and Dora, who was looking forward to it. He thought to himself that ordinary scar removal cream might be effective for scars left by ordinary injuries, but the wound of the girl in front of him was not only toxic, but also had a very special constitution. Even if scar removal cream was used, it would probably have little effect.

"This... I..." The court doctor hesitated to speak, as he couldn't bear to shatter Dora's newly ignited hope.
