Chapter 105
They wouldn't let Gu Xi approach them, and they directly drove Gu Xi away like chasing flies. Then they opened the door of the room and checked it thoroughly.
So they were worried that nothing had happened. But they were not relieved, so they still called someone to report to Yi Chengbei.
After hearing this, Yi Chengbei felt something was strange, so he simply sent out most of his men to cover the entire two-story building where the Gu family was imprisoned, especially the room where the Gu family was located, with nearly thirty people inside and out.
This is what Gu Xi wants. The more people come, the more complete they are, the more Gu Xi likes it.
After everyone was in their own duties, Gu Xi also came back from the front hall. She was scared of the people around the building and walked back and forth outside the building with fear, but she didn't dare to go in.
People who had seen Gu Xi come over to see this and wanted to ask Gu Xi what she was afraid of, but Gu Xi sneezes several times in a row.
The man avoided it with disgust. From a distance, he saw Gu Xi red nose and tears flowing, and was very embarrassed. Then he relaxed his guard and slowly leaned over to invite Gu Xi in.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xi took out a pack of medicine powder from his arms at this time, the dark brown medicine powder, and the kind that could smell the medicine from afar.
Gu Xi raised the powder and was about to take it, but she couldn't help but sneeze. The powder was blown everywhere in an instant, dissipating around her with the rustling autumn wind.
The man was shocked when he saw this. While covering his nose with a water-stained veil, he reached out to snatch the powder bag from Gu Xi's hand and asked someone to take Gu Xi down.
Now Gu Xi stopped sneezing, and was so scared that he shivered. He sat on the ground with his head in his arms, sobbing and begging for mercy.
Gu Xi's performance did not eliminate the suspicion of those people. They surrounded Gu Xi and put five or six swords on her tiny neck.
Gu Xi was so scared that he shivered, his lips turned pale and curled up on the ground and did not dare to move. His snot was covered with tears and his face was still pouring out.
Gu Xi did not realize how terrifying her image was. She just regretted that she had used the medicine too hard, which made her unable to cry.
As a result, the annoying snot couldn't stop, making her feel uncomfortable and disgusting.
Those people surrounded Gu Xi for a long time but still didn't notice anything unusual. They had to repay Yi Chengbei and let him make a decision.
After hearing this, Yi Chengbei thought for a long time and asked someone to go to find a doctor, and then invited the young eunuch who knew medical science around Eunuch Liu.
I said please, that's because Eunuch Liu is more capable than him in front of the emperor.
Gu Xi was actually waiting for such an opportunity, but she was a little unhappy.
Because He Ming did not appear in time.
Does this mean that He Ming has been convinced by her previous words? As long as she does not ask for help on her own initiative, he will never take the initiative to make a move.
This is fine, Gu Xi thought. She is not really brainless, she just never uses her brain when someone relies on her.
She is waiting for the doctor to come now and will be able to treat the Gu family members.
Not only the Gu family members, but also those present now have to take pulses and take medication, otherwise they will be better than tonight.
The first one to arrive was the little eunuch beside Eunuch Liu, the handsome young man who was seventeen years old. He looked at Gu Xi from a distance and felt familiar. When he walked in, he couldn't even erase the surprise in his eyes.
Fortunately, he still knows the importance of it. He has been in the melting pot of the palace and has not revealed Gu Xi's identity. But after listening to those people's explanations, he suspiciously took Gu Xi's pulse.
The eunuch was frightened again when he took the pulse. He looked at Gu Xi in admiration, lamenting for her tongue, and was also worried about the wounds that had not yet healed on her body.
After checking Gu Xi, the little eunuch checked the medicine powder bag that was stolen by those people, and the bamboo tube with a lot of medicine still remaining.
The little eunuch smelled the powder in the medicine bag, which was a general medicine for treating typhoid fever. As for the medicine liquid in the bamboo tube, he still couldn't analyze what its effect was.
But one thing he is sure of is that the ingredients in the bamboo tube are in conflict with a certain medicinal herb in the powder, which can cause hallucination.
If Gu Xi’s purpose is just to make people hallucinate, that’s not a big problem. I’m afraid that Gu Xi’s medicine is not that simple.
He came back to his senses and checked Gu Xi again, but there was still no big problem, so he gave Yi Chengbei the truth.
Yi Chengbei had never seen Gu Xi, so he did not doubt Gu Xi's identity and asked: "Then is she like this now because of being mentally insane?"
If he was a normal person, he would never be like Gu Xi. He would still be dazed in such a situation, burst into tears and not wiped or talked, and remained indifferent to his appearance.
When a normal person sees him, his first reaction is not to kneel down and beg for mercy.
The little eunuch looked at Gu Xi, and was not sure whether Gu Xi was hallucinating. But he was sure that Gu Xi was not feeling well now.
Gu Xi’s tongue is probably not very useful now. Even if he speaks, he is also a big tongue and his voice is particularly hoarse.
"She is in a bad condition now and needs to take medicine in time, otherwise it will be difficult to treat." The little eunuch told the truth.
If Gu Xi’s tongue and throat do not take medicine in time, it will not be able to return to normal and will keep his tongue wide in the future.
Another even more terrifying thing is that her eyes will be blind due to tears.
Yi Chengbei was not so easy to fool him. He asked: "Is these two medicines that made her like this?" If this is true, then he would rather kill the person in front of him by mistake than let her go.
The little eunuch just shook his head and said nothing extra.
Seeing this, Yi Chengbei was a little confused and ordered someone to return Gu Xiguan to her room, and then asked the little eunuch to check his people one by one.
When checking those people, the little monk's expression was particularly serious. After checking until the end, he suspected his medical skills.
Could it be that he is really not good at learning skills and can’t even sense the pulse?
"These people are all very good, there is nothing unusual." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the person guarding Gu's family's house running out with an anxious look on his face.
The man reported to Yi Chengbei and said, "The two old men in the Gu family have been suffering from fever and are confused. They were able to talk nonsense before, but now they can't even make a sound. And that little man has rashes on his neck and back of his hands. I heard that there are more rashes on his body."
When Yi Chengbei heard this, his expression was immediately solemn. He had an ominous premonition and always felt that he had seen those symptoms somewhere.
"It sounds like smallpox, I wonder if I can let the young one go in and take a look. If it weren't for smallpox, then the young one would prescribe a few prescriptions to cure the disease. If it was really..." The little eunuch was as serious as Yi Chengbei.
Smallpox is an incurable epidemic. If one cannot make a fuss, these people may be infected and die.
