248 Invisible
Gu Jinzhi prescribed the prescription for Jiang Xin, and she took it for three days in a row.
On the fourth day, Mrs. Jiang came to the door in person and asked Gu Jinzhi to follow up with Jiang Xin.
Gu Jinzhi followed Mrs. Jiang.
Qin Shensi also arrived.
The abscesses on Jiang Xin's face have disappeared, which is a sign of improvement, which makes Mrs. Jiang very happy.
Gu Jinzhi took Jiang Xin's pulse and found that the heat poison in her body had subsided and the medicine had taken effect.
But she was still not in a good mood.
Mrs. Jiang asked the maids to pick up the dead branches that she had thrown out. When the maids refused to help her, she struggled to get out of bed. Even the maids and her mother in the room couldn't help her.
"Let's take it for another five days." Gu Jinzhi said to Qin Shensi and Mrs. Jiang, "If it can be cured, it can be cured after another five days of taking it."
Five days…
Gu Jinzhi actually let Jiang Xin take this ferocious medicine for five more days.
Mrs. Jiang didn’t quite understand, so she agreed.
Qin Shensi was a little frightened.
After the follow-up consultation, Gu Jinzhi sat down and chatted with Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin could have a few words with Gu Jinzhi.
She was more curious about Gu Jinzhi, asking her about interesting things she encountered while practicing medicine, and asked her what interesting places there were in Yanling Mansion.
Gu Jinzhi told her one by one.
After taking the medicine for three days, her eyes had improved a lot and she could vaguely see Gu Jinzhi's outline.
She said: "You are very tall..."
"Yes, I am taller than many girls..." Gu Jinzhi said, then looked at Jiang Xin on the bed. "You are quite tall too."
"Well, some people always say that I am too tall and not good-looking." Jiang Xin said with a smile, "I didn't expect that there are people as tall as me. We are kind of destined..."
Mrs. Jiang took the opportunity to wink at Gu Jinzhi and asked her to chat more with Jiang Xin, while trying to trick Jiang Xin.
Gu Jinzhi nodded slightly.
Mrs. Jiang then said: "Sister Xin, please talk to Miss Gu, while mother goes to work first."
Jiang Xin said yes.
Gu Jinzhi talked to her for half the afternoon.
Jiang Xin read a lot of books and was particularly interested in history, and Gu Jinzhi could also add a sentence or a half. When Jiang Xin told her, she listened attentively and encouraged her to talk more.
After talking for about half an hour, Jiang Xin felt a little tired and stopped.
Gu Jinzhi stood up and said goodbye.
Originally, her condition was already stable.
As a result, the next day, she suddenly had uncontrollable diarrhea...
Rhubarb was originally a purgative medicine with powerful medicinal properties. Gu Jinzhi also wanted to use rhubarb to expel all the heat toxins remaining in her body.
Unexpectedly, only four days later, her body began to resist again.
She was lying on the bed dying.
Qin Shensi asked Gu Jinzhi's permission and stopped taking the medicine of Sapodilla Cortex and Rhubarb. He prescribed Pulsatilla Decoction to her. She had drunk the Pulsatilla Decoction before, and it could clear away heat evil and treat dysentery.
She had severe diarrhea, so I had to give her Pulsatilla soup again.
As a result, one dose had no effect at all, and it took two days to stop the diarrhea.
Qin Shensi was at his wits' end.
He said to Mrs. Jiang: "I have seen several cases of strange diseases in the years I have been practicing medicine. But no one can blame the second lady. Madam, there is nothing I can do. Please ask someone else."
Mrs. Jiang looked after Gu Jinzhi.
Gu Jinzhi shook his head slightly and said: "I still think that the medicine is right, but it's just the second lady's fault. Didn't you notice that the dead branches in the bottle in her room, although they are still inserted, are all single
One? She was emotionally averse to the treatment."
Mrs. Jiang covered her chest in pain.
She couldn't help but sit on the kang and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Finally, she thanked Gu Jinzhi and Qin Shensi and sent them out.
On the same day, she invited the Imperial Physician Peng Leyi and two other imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital. The three of them looked back at the second lady and said it was heat poison, and asked who had prescribed the prescription.
Mrs. Jiang said it was Qin Shensi, and the seventh girl from the Gu family had also seen it.
They also showed the prescriptions prescribed by Qin Shensi and Gu Jinzhi to several imperial doctors.
Peng Leyi frowned as he looked at it.
Qin Shensi has tried all the recipes he can think of...
"Have you tried all of these?" Peng Leyi asked Mrs. Jiang, "Still it doesn't work?"
Mrs. Jiang understood the meaning of these words and nodded, but her heart sank.
Peng Leyi had no choice but to cup his hands and said: "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do... Throughout the ages, Qin Imperial Physician has tried many prescriptions that can treat heat poisoning. But none of them work..."
He didn't say any more.
Mrs. Jiang was mentally prepared and did not lose her composure. She sent the three imperial doctors away politely.
After she got the confirmation and made a comparison in her mind, she became more inclined to Gu Jinzhi's diagnosis: Sister Xin was probably suffering from her own emotional illness.
Mrs. Jiang came to visit again and asked Gu Jinzhi to find a way to save Jiang Xin.
"...Last time, didn't she talk to you for a long time?" Mrs. Jiang said, "She never said that to us or other people in the family. She admires capable people and is willing to talk to you. Please
Miss Seven, please help, ask her. If there is anything wrong with her, just tell me. I will definitely do it for her..."
At the end of the sentence, I was a little choked up and a little helpless.
After hearing this, Song Pan'er quickly comforted her and said to Gu Jinzhi: "Then go quickly."
Gu Jinzhi said yes.
She went to Jiang's house again.
Jiang Xin was lying on the bed. Compared with last time, her hair had fallen out more and her face was quite scary.
A young woman with a woman's bun sat beside Jiang Xin's bed wiping her tears, but Jiang Xin closed her eyes and ignored her.
When Gu Jinzhi and Mrs. Jiang came in, they heard Jiang Xin say lukewarmly: "Sister, you are busy at home and have to take care of Brother Mu. Go back."
The young woman's tears fell even more fiercely: "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"
She is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, named Jiang Yun. She is now married to the Duke of Zheng's palace and has become the Duke's wife.
Jiang Xin sighed impatiently.
Mrs. Jiang stepped forward and said to her eldest daughter: "Let's go. Let's go out and talk. Your sister is here, and let Miss Seven accompany her."
Hearing Miss Seven, Jiang Xin opened her eyes slightly.
The last time she regained some of her vision, it became dim again. She could only see a bunch of shadows, and couldn't tell which one was Gu Jinzhi.
Jiang Yun, on the other hand, stood up and bowed to Gu Jinzhi before leaving his sister's yard with his mother.
"Mom, according to me, it's better to invite a senior monk to perform a ritual ceremony." Jiang Yun wiped away tears and repeated the old conversation with his mother, "When I see my little sister like this, she must have contracted something unclean.
Otherwise, she is a good person. Why doesn’t she want to live anymore?”
Mrs. Jiang shook her head.
She still insisted on her position: "Our family doesn't believe in that."
Jiang Yun tried to persuade her again, but found that her mother could not persuade her at all.
Mrs. Jiang's character also has a stubborn and extreme side. But she usually hides it well and cannot be discovered by ordinary people. Jiang Xin's character still follows her mother's to a certain extent.
——*——*——
Gu Jinzhi sat beside Jiang Xin's bed and saw the maids and old ladies in the room. He ordered them: "You girls and I will have a few words of respect alone. Why don't your mother and sisters go and do their work first?"
Mrs. Jiang ordered these people to listen to Gu Jinzhi.
So, Jiang Xin's nurse Wan Mama led everyone out.
There were only Gu Jinzhi and Jiang Xin in the inner room.
"Are you here to see me again?" Jiang Xin said in a calm tone, "Are you going to give me a prescription this time? I took a lot of the prescription last time, but I ended up with diarrhea and failed. It's really disappointing."
She just stated one thing in a straightforward manner without any connotation of praise or criticism.
Gu Jinzhi smiled.
"Your maiden name is Jiang Xin?" Gu Jinzhi did not answer Jiang Xin's words and just said it by himself. "Is there a word for it?"
"No." Jiang Xin said, "What do you want to do with a word? I'm not going to take an exam..."
"Then I'll call you Jiang Xin." Gu Jinzhi said, "By calling me this way, you can prepare to express your name. There is no intimacy or unfamiliarity in it. It is just an objective title."
Jiang Xin got a little interested and said, "That's great. I also hate those messy nicknames. Then I'll call you Gu Jinzhi."
Gu Jinzhi also agreed.
"Jiang Xin, why don't you want to live?" Gu Jinzhi asked.
Jiang Xin paused.
There was a hint of complexity in her expression, but she didn't feel disgusted at all. She seemed to appreciate Gu Jinzhi's alternative way of asking questions, and didn't like to be circuitous.
She pursed her lips slightly.
"No, I want to live too." She still lied.
"Actually, this is a lie. You have no interest in living..." Gu Jinzhi said, "Why? I don't quite understand. You should have a better life than most people. For example, you have to live in the middle of winter.
The little maid sweeping the floor outside, you live a better life than her, why don't you want to live?"
Jiang Xin's lips pursed deeper.
She didn't answer.
"...Your mother said that your father and family members love you very much." Gu Jinzhi asked again, "Have you done something shameful and you are afraid that it will be revealed in the future and your face will be disgraced?"
Jiang Xin was stunned, then laughed.
"What?" She was amused by Gu Jinzhi's imagination, but she was not angry.
She seemed to appreciate Gu Jinzhi's keenness and outspokenness.
At least Gu Jinzhi was the first person to see that he had no desire to survive.
"No." Jiang Xin smiled, "I didn't do anything wrong, let alone be afraid. I just think life is a bit boring..."
"So bored that you want to die?" Gu Jinzhi asked.
Jiang Xin smiled again.
She shook her head and said, "It's not that serious."
After that, she was silent for a while.
"Gu Jinzhi, what do you think everything in the world is like?" Jiang Xin said.
This topic is too broad and difficult to answer.
Gu Jinzhi also pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone has their own preference. I like beautiful and simple things. What about you?"
"I can't see it," Jiang Xin said.
Her eyes are blurry now.
"What about when you could see before you got sick?" Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "What do you think everything looks like?"
"I haven't been able to see since I was a child," Jiang Xin said.
Gu Jinzhi was slightly stunned.
"You...how could you not see it?" she said, "I never heard your mother say this."
"I can't see colors." Jiang Xin said.
