Chapter 266 Regression
Back at the small courtyard of the Chen family, Ni Rong recalled: "Because of the panic that day, I grabbed a handful of grass, chewed it and pressed it on the wound. There was indeed some dirt."
Zi'an said, "It's probably not the herbs that are poisonous, but these soils."
She poured out the handful of soil she grabbed just now from the bottle, which was mixed with small white stones, and it shattered when she squeezed lightly, "Look, do you know what this is?"
The two leaned over to look, but they didn't know what it was.
"What is this? Are these powders poisonous?" Su Qing asked.
Zian explained: "This is the letter stone, which is the rough stone we commonly call arsenic, which is highly poisonous."
"Arsenic?" Ni Rong was taken aback for a moment, "You mean that I took arsenic that day, so I was fine."
"Arsenic is not only a poison, but it can also be used as medicine. It has the effects of cutting off phlegm, cutting off malaria, killing insects, and eating evil flesh." Zi'an said.
Su Qing said: "Although I have heard of arsenic being used as medicine, but the doctors of this dynasty rarely use it, because if the amount is not properly controlled, people will die."
Zi'an knew that in the history she was familiar with, arsenic was used in medicine in many dynasties, but it was indeed a drug with restricted purchases, and arsenic in pharmacies had to be reported to the government.
"From today onwards, I will add a little arsenic to Wang Yu's medicine." She looked back at Su Qing, "Stay here and watch, and if you have any reaction, go to the affected area and tell me immediately."
"Okay." Su Qing said.
Zian began to study the dosage, because there are other medicines, so the dosage must be grasped very accurately.
The initial period is three days, and the effect will be seen after three days.
After distributing the medicine, Zi'an Qianwan told Su Qing to take it strictly according to her portion, neither more nor less.
Su Qing has been stationed here for the past few days, and asked someone to find Xiao Tuo and ask him to accompany Zi'an back to the epidemic area.
Although it is said that there may not be any more tricks over there, but be careful when sailing for ten thousand years.
After Xiao Tuo came over, he took Zian and left without saying hello to Su Qing.
"How is your lord?" Zian asked Xiao Tuo in the carriage.
"My lord is in the barracks, something happened in the barracks." Xiao Tuo said.
"What happened?" Zi'an asked hastily.
Xiao Tuo said, "It's nothing, don't worry."
Seeing that Xiao Tuo didn't say anything, Zian knew that this matter must be serious.
"Did someone investigate the missing persons?" Zian asked again.
"I have asked the Criminal Department to do it, and there should be results within two days."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Tuo actually started talking again, "There was a brawl in the barracks."
"Fighting?" This surprised Zian, the military law is strict, and if the fight is serious, it is a capital offense and must be dealt with by the military law.
Xiao Tuo said casually: "Someone provoked and divided, and now there are two gangs in the army. This is an unprecedented thing."
"These garrisons are all under the prince's command. How could they be divided? There are gangs?"
There were dark clouds in Xiao Tuo's eyes, "A preliminary estimate is that two generals have defected to Mr. Liang and deliberately provoked disputes with zombie disease. This time there are hundreds of people involved in the fight."
Zian was shocked, "According to the military law, how should we deal with it?"
"According to the military law, all these hundreds of people will be beaten fifty times with sticks."
"Not only that, if there is a brawl in the army, this group of soldiers must stop for rectification, and they cannot be mobilized until the Ministry of War is unsealed." Xiao Tuo added.
Zi'an then understood that the soldiers under the Regent's command could not move casually because they wanted to rectify the investigation. To a certain extent, Murong Jie's authority was restricted.
Moreover, even if it really came to the last moment, because of the traitors, this would not be an elite unit.
With so many calculations covered, Zian felt the ambition behind it.
Xiao Tuo said: "So, this time in the epidemic area, there is not much time for the prince to take care of you, you have to rely on yourself."
"I know, you don't have to stay with me, go help him more." Zian said.
"I can arrange it well. Fortunately, my eldest brother has returned to Beijing now and brought back some soldiers and horses."
———Lao Tzu is a rough dividing line———
After Xia Zian entered the epidemic area, she has always attracted much attention. Her story has also been spread among the common people, and even her mother, Yuan Cuiyu, has been brought up for discussion.
Yuan Cuiyu's reputation is excellent, and she can somewhat cover up the scandal of repenting marriage for Zi'an.
Sometimes the world is so strange. In the past, Xia Zian was a vicious woman, and no one in Beijing wanted to have anything to do with her. Now she entered the epidemic area as the daughter of the prime minister to treat the epidemic, and suddenly became a hero. Everyone is proud to have met her.
Three days later, Zian left the epidemic area and returned to Chen's small courtyard.
Wang Yu's condition did not improve, but it was considered stable. This may be the effect of the flying needle.
Mrs. Wang and the guards got better, the wound did not rot, and the redness of the eyes faded a little, but they still didn't heal.
This made Zian very disappointed, because Ni Rong only used a little bit at that time, but there was no attack, and the second bite proved that he had antibodies.
"After taking the medicine, have you recorded the situation in the past three days?" Zian asked.
"It's recorded, take a look." Su Qing took out the notebook and handed it to Zian.
Zian flipped through it, but there was nothing special about it.
She checked Wang Yu again and found that although Wang Yu's condition was stable, basically the arsenic had no effect on him.
Is it because the quantity is not well grasped? Zian thought for a while, added some more doses, and told Su Qing, "I'll take another medicine tonight, and I'll come out tomorrow."
"it is good!"
They tried again and again two or three times, but found nothing. It can be seen that arsenic, like acupuncture, can only temporarily stabilize their condition.
Could it be that it wasn't arsenic? Or herbal medicine?
It's just that those herbs have been checked, and even if they are mixed and matched, they will not cause toxicity.
She once again sorted out how Ni Rong handled it when he was bitten.
Poisoning, pouring water to induce vomiting, and cleaning the wound in large quantities are all normal methods of dealing with trauma and poisoning, and there is nothing special about it.
Zi'an looked very depressed, just saw a little bit of dawn, and then went out in an instant.
Murong Jie also came over in the afternoon, he came only when he learned that Zian had left the epidemic area.
He looked a little tired, but in a few days, his whole body seemed to have lost weight.
Xiao Tuo said before that he couldn't sleep well, probably because he had another headache.
"How's the situation?" he asked as he entered.
Zian told him the current situation, and Murong Jie frowned slightly after hearing this, "In this way, it can be said that you have made no progress here?"
"It's a step back." Zi'an said dejectedly.
Seeing her dejected look, Murong Jie comforted her and said: "Don't worry, think slowly, study slowly, there will always be a solution."
"Well, I see." Zian went in with him, "How is your side? Have you dealt with it?"
Murong Jie looked back at Xiao Tuo, "Did he tell you?"
"Forgive his big mouth, he can't hide his words."
