[Red Mansions] The promotion of the female history of salted fish

Speaking of erysipelas, Yang Peishan is no stranger, but only no stranger.Before Yang Peishan married Situ Hui, the Yang family was a standard clean stream.The men in the family would not be so bored as to get some elixirs made by Taoist priests.Yang Peishan knows that if the elixir is not refined properly, the toxicity will not be completely neutralized, and erysipelas will appear, but she has never seen a person who has actually been infected with erysipelas.But seeing Yunling took a few steps back and grabbed her, she looked very cautious, so she didn't insist on moving forward.Wei Zi was standing next to Yang Peishan. Seeing that Yang Peishan and Yun Ling were standing on one side, he quickly ordered someone to cover the clay pot.

Yang Peishan came to Jingsi Palace today with the imperial physician and the female medicine officer. Although the imperial physician’s main direction is not to detoxify, the female officer’s understanding of medicine is a little immature compared with the real imperial physician, but she still understands most of the pharmacology. I still know something.At this moment, when he saw the small puddle of liquid in the clay pot, he couldn't help blurting out, "Mercury!"

Yunling reads all kinds of books when she is free, but medical books require too much professional knowledge after all, so she just flipped through the habits of most of the medicinal materials used in daily life, and hasn't fully memorized them yet.Now it is natural to hear the imperial doctor call this thing, it sounds like the name "mercury" has been around for a long time, so he nodded, turned and asked the imperial doctor who was wrapping the quicksilver with paper, "Does this quicksilver affect people?" Emotions,? Make people emotionally depressed or depressed?" Yunling didn't know the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning, but she vaguely remembered that there was such a thing.A few days ago, I heard that Zhou Guiren and Liu Meiren had similar symptoms, but she didn't think about it. There are too many medicines that can make people irritable. For example, long-term use of ginseng and other tonic medicines can cause people to be irritable. If you have a bad temper, or the ingredients contain what is commonly known as "getting angry", you will feel unable to suppress your temper if you eat too much.

No one would be surprised that Zhou Guiren's temper was twice as irritable when she was bedridden all day before she died.It is said that Zhou Guiren's whole body was swollen and his complexion was sallow when he was about to die, which could be said to be fatal for a concubine in the harem.As for Liu Meiren, if it wasn’t for Mrs. Zhen Taigui’s fuss today, even if the imperial physician and the medical officer came here, it would be nothing more than to take a look at Liu Meiren’s diet and incense. How about pulling out all the flowers and checking them?

Yun Ling didn't know that the name "mercury" had been around for a long time and there was nothing wrong with it, but the so-called "mercury" in ancient times was not the exclusive name for mercury metal in her understanding.In fact, the name of all metals that are liquid at room temperature is "mercury".Moreover, in medical books, the records of mercury are not negative.Even in some books, mercury is a very common material when refining elixir.

Of course, it goes without saying that the emperors who wanted to refine the elixir since ancient times would end up in whatever way.It's just that there is no clear record after all.Mercury is mentioned in some medical books, but that is also because many women in brothels nowadays use mercury to prevent pregnancy.This method does a lot of harm to women's bodies. When you are young, you don't feel it, but when you are old, you can see the evil effects of taking mercury when you were young.

So the imperial doctor heard Yunling's words, stretched out his right hand and stroked his beard for a long time, finally lowered his head, and said something more tactful, "This... I didn't see such a record." Then he said Mercury can be "terminal pregnancy".If mercury is regarded as a medicinal material, perhaps the prescriptions are different, and the effects of mercury on the human body will be somewhat different.But it is also not paired with other things. If mercury is used alone, the old doctor does not think that there will be too much difference in the efficacy of mercury that enters the human body through sniffing and taking mercury.It's just that sniffing may take effect a little slower.

Yang Peishan frowned.She didn't deliberately doubt the results given by the imperial physician, but if mercury only had the effect of contraception or even causing stillbirth, then the person who did it didn't have to spend so much trouble.When Liu Meiren first entered the palace, she was a little bit favored by Situ Hui, but in recent years, the emperor has been all right and can't think of Liu Meiren.Leaving aside the fact that she was directly demoted from a nobleman to a beauty and moved to the Jingsi Palace, it is just that Liu Mei hurt her body when she gave birth to the seventh prince, and there is no possibility of having children in the future.Otherwise, it would be convenient for Liu Meiren to take care of her body and give birth to a child, so why all her anger directed at Concubine Xiande?

Thinking of the bad debt between her and Concubine Xiande, Yang Peishan also sighed slowly, shook her head at Yunling, then turned to the imperial physician and said, "In this case, the imperial physician should give Liu Meiren a pulse." Afterwards, Liu Meiren was like a flower that had lost its moisture, and quickly withered away.If Situ Hui felt pity for the pale and crumbling Liu Meiren at first, but after a long time, he gradually became impatient.When Liu Meiren was a nobleman, she could check her pulse from time to time and take care of her body, but since she moved to the Jingsi Palace, she still has the patented medicines she takes every month to take care of her body. Well, send it to her, but it is impossible for the imperial doctor to come to the door every three or five days.

The maid next to Liu Meiren was also clever, after hearing what Yang Peishan said, she quickly took out a handkerchief from her bosom and covered Liu Meiren's wrist.Liu Meiren glanced at the palace lady, turned her head and looked straight at the handkerchief, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, looking a bit sarcastic, but finally held back and said nothing.

Before the imperial physician came, he was mentally prepared to check Liu Meiren's pulse. Now that he saw Liu Meiren stretched out his hand, he did not hesitate to press on Liu Meiren's wrist for a long time.Yun Ling watched helplessly as his face wrinkled from the still smooth orange peel to a walnut, and looked at Liu Meiren's face from time to time during the pulse diagnosis.The more he looked, the more doubtful the imperial physician became, and finally he couldn't help asking, "Does this beauty have chest tightness and shortness of breath recently?"

As soon as he asked, the maid who covered Liu Meiren shook her head slightly, but the movement was not large.She was about to speak, when she heard Liu Meiren's voice sounded without ups and downs, "Yes."

The maid widened her eyes.

The imperial physician withdrew his hand from Liu Mei's contacts, his frown was slightly relaxed, but the expression on his face was still not very good-looking, "How often?"

Liu Meiren nodded.

"When it hurts, is it like being pierced by a steel needle or like being hit by a blunt object?" The imperial doctor's hand slowly twisted his beard again, and the medicine boy who followed the imperial doctor couldn't help but worry about the remaining few of the imperial doctor. beard worried.

"The former." Liu Meiren didn't expect that the imperial physician's medical skills were decent, her expression slowed down a little.

Under Yaotong's terrified gaze, the imperial physician who diagnosed Liu Meiren's pulse finally tore off his beard.

In front of Liu Meiren, the imperial physician didn't say anything discouraging, but seriously prescribed the medicine, telling Liu Meiren's close maid what to pay attention to when taking medicine.But after coming out of the Jingsi Palace, the imperial doctor told the truth about Liu Meiren's physical condition, "The beauty has suffered a serious loss in recent years, and she has recently hurt her heart and lungs for some reason. If she can survive this winter in peace , it will probably be fine in the future.”

The words of these imperial physicians serving the royal family should be listened to carefully. For example, the basic meaning of this imperial physician's words is that there is a high probability that Liu Meiren will not survive this winter.

Yang Peishan nodded, and waved the imperial doctor to go down.Before the imperial doctor left, he also took away the mercury that had been brought out from the Jingsi Palace. Yang Peishan's eyes turned around the medicine boy behind him, and her brows that were originally stretched slightly frowned.Seeing Yun Ling who was sitting on the side, the expression on her face relaxed a little, "Then mercury can really cause people's emotional depression and anger?"

Although Yunling didn't touch the mercury just now, her hands touched the clay pot and flower materials for a long time, so now she doesn't plan to eat the things on the Kunning Palace table with her hands, and just wipes her hands with the handkerchief.Hearing Yang Peishan's question, she nodded hesitantly, "I remember so." But she didn't expect that there was no such record in the serious medical books of this era. If Yang Peishan asked later, what would she say?Yunling thought for a while, although the books she read after entering the palace were numerous and miscellaneous, but the origins of those books can be traced, it seems that it is necessary to push this matter to some of the books she read when she was in the mansion. The book is up.Not all the books she read when she was in the hidden mansion were moved to the palace in the end, and many books were scattered by her casually, as long as she said that she didn't remember reading it in that book. .

Unexpectedly, Yang Peishan didn't ask her where she saw it, and only sighed a little, "I have sent someone to interrogate the little maid who arranged flowers for Liu Meiren this morning. However, since there is no This thing has a poisonous record, even if the person behind it is found out, it may not be possible to convict it."

Yun Ling recalled that when Zhou Guiren was dying, the imperial physician gave Zhou Guiren "failure of viscera", but Liu Meiren's heart and lung function was damaged now. Although she was sure that these were symptoms of heavy metal poisoning, at this time her According to Chinese medicine, the symptoms of these two people are quite different.Even if it is proved that mercury has the effect of inducing people's rage, the person who caused the death of these two people can also say that she was just out of anger for a while and wanted a little revenge.Seriously speaking, the crime of giving contraception is really many times less than murdering the emperor's heir.

Up until now, Yunling and Yang Peishan looked at each other, and they had some guesses about who the person who put the mercury in Zhou and Liu's room was.Yang Peishan sighed, "There are some things that should be reported to the emperor, and should not be vague." The matter of Liu Meiren could not be found out in a short time, so when it came to the two going to Jingsi Palace together, Yang Peishan's focus was only It can be on Zhen Taigui, even the words of Zhen Taigui crying about the late emperor are not covered up.

Yunling had known for a long time that Situ Hui was really not a "soft-hearted" person, but she really didn't expect that Situ Hui's actions would be so straightforward when dealing with Mrs. Zhen's crying, making trouble and hanging herself.

On the third day after Yang Peishan and Yunling returned from Jingsi Palace, Situ Hui issued an imperial edict.Although the imperial decree said that Situ Hui, as a younger brother, should be more considerate to Brother Sanhuang, but Yunling felt that Mrs. Zhen would probably not be happy at all.
