Chapter 430 "Void"
Chapter 430 "Void"
The Sixth Prince sat aside as a mascot. If there was any unrest there, he would just glance over and the people would immediately behave themselves. There were a few favored young princes and princes, who also sat aside obediently, waiting for the arrival of the imperial physician and others.
As for Yun Qinghan, after shocking everyone, he stayed by Shu Xiaoxiao's side. Apart from worrying about any danger, the two of them had just confirmed their relationship and naturally wanted to be together.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Shu Xiaoxiao sincerely felt that it was a good thing that she brought the three big guys with her, otherwise it would be difficult for her to appease them alone.
Taking advantage of everyone's quiet time, Shu Xiaoxiao began to observe the state of these people. The more she watched, the heavier her heart became. Even if people who can come to the brothel are easy to... easy to be "tired", right? It's normal for them to be in a bad mood.
But it had only been dark for a short time. Even in ancient times, the nightlife had just begun. But now most people looked gloomy and listless. This was not right!
Besides, it's not like she hasn't been to a brothel before. At this moment, these people are in good spirits. Even if there are some who feel as if their bodies are drained by women, there are not many of them. After all, women are important, but health is more important. Only those who know nothing will overdraw their bodies. Other men with good family conditions will take care of their bodies even if they come to a brothel.
But there are too many people who are in low spirits.
Shu Xiaoxiao looked carefully, and the hope in her heart was gone. She came close to Yun Qinghan and whispered, "Brother, we need a rope now."
Yun Qinghan asked directly: "How much do you need?"
Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the endless number of heads and sighed: "The more the better!"
Yun Qinghan touched her head soothingly and immediately sent someone to find a rope.
Before the rope was found, Doctor Zhang and his colleagues also arrived.
Originally, we shouldn't have invited Imperial Physician Zhang. After all, Imperial Physician Zhang is mainly responsible for the emperor's cases. His status is very high. Most people can't afford to invite him. Even if they can afford it, they don't have the courage to do so. Otherwise, if they arouse the emperor's suspicion, it will not be a question of whether he can cure the disease or not, but a question of whether his brain is still there.
But now that the emperor's health is getting better and better, Doctor Zhang is not as nervous as before. Moreover, because of Shu Xiaoxiao's ability to dig and make medicine, Doctor Zhang has been coveting her for a long time. The emperor also allowed Doctor Zhang to discuss with Shu Xiaoxiao, and even Shu Xiaoxiao could ask Doctor Zhang if he didn't understand anything.
After all, the emperor's current strong body is all thanks to Shu Xiaoxiao. The emperor hopes that Shu Xiaoxiao's medical skills will be even better. The emperor is also happy to see that Doctor Zhang and Shu Xiaoxiao are close.
Moreover, what Shu Xiaoxiao said this time was too serious and involved too many people. With Imperial Physician Zhang in charge, everyone felt more at ease.
Several imperial doctors came over and were surprised to see so many people, but since they were there, they hurried to take the pulse.
Then I found these people: pale purple tongue with thin yellow fur, deep and slippery pulse, qi deficiency, yang deficiency, qi stagnation, blood deficiency, yin deficiency..............
After taking the pulse, Doctor Zhang looked at the young man who looked a little weak, frowned, said nothing, and started to examine the next patient.
Then: the heart pulse is weak, the liver pulse is thin, stringy and tight, the kidney pulse is deep and slow, the heart pulse is weak, the spleen and stomach pulses are smooth and slippery, and the triple burner is deep and slippery or weak.
After examining several patients, several doctors felt that they had made a mistake in their diagnosis. They looked at each other, but it was already dark. Even with the lights on, they could not see each other's expressions. They could only see their movements.
Several imperial doctors stroked their beards, thinking that this was a brothel after all, and it was normal for the men who came here to feel weak. They looked at the others, and thought that not all of them could be so weak, right?
He frowned, shook his head, and continued to diagnose the person behind him.
Seeing the imperial physician shaking his head, no matter if they were currently taking the patient's pulse, had already done so, or not, everyone felt nervous. Imperial Physician Zhang, Imperial Physician Li, Imperial Physician Liu, please tell us what's wrong with us, but stop shaking your heads. We can still save him, right?
But seeing the people standing around and the imperial doctors, he did not dare to urge them and could only wait anxiously.
Doctor Zhang and his colleagues have examined more than a dozen patients, all of whom have similar symptoms, and have noticed something is wrong. Even though they are in a brothel, and although it is normal for people who come to a brothel to be weak, the fact that these people are all weak in the same way is actually not right. Although they are not sure whether they are poisoned, it is certain that something is wrong with their bodies, so they should discuss it with each other.
And the reason why these people are so weak also needs to be investigated.
But before the doctors could speak, someone in the crowd started making a noise.
A young man in a green robe suddenly fell down, curled up his body, trembling and sweating, appearing to be in great pain. The people around him were startled and immediately stepped back to make room for him.
The man in green curled up on the ground with a painful look on his face. His eyes were not anxious, but he shouted in pain: "Give me the longevity cream, the longevity cream, I want the longevity cream."
The more he shouted, the more ferocious his expression became. Then he looked in Shu Xiaoxiao's direction and shouted, "Fu Shou cream, give me Fu Shou cream."
Then he rolled and tumbled on the ground, banging his head against the ground. He looked in extreme pain, and the people around him were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe.
Just then the rope was found, and Shu Xiaoxiao quickly shouted, "Rope, hurry up, tie him up."
Seeing the guards going to tie someone up, Shu Xiaoxiao thought of something and added, "And his mouth. Use a cloth to cover his mouth. Don't bite his tongue by accident."
People around: ...............
Even more scared.
Doctor Zhang had just taken this man's pulse, and now that he was tied up, he immediately went over to take his pulse.
Well, I’m still weak. All of me are weak. All my internal organs are weak!
Looking at the terrified people standing beside him, Doctor Zhang nodded quickly: "Your pulses are similar."
Everyone's horrified faces!
Help!
As the first attack occurred, the second and third appeared one after another. The guards were holding ropes and watching eagerly. As long as someone fell, they would tie him up and stuff his mouth in one go. Although the onlookers were terrified, no one dared to stop them. After all, they knew whether they would be the next one!
They feel comfortable when they inhale this thing, and it is normal that they like it. They just inhale it when they want to, since they have no shortage of money anyway. But who knew that it would be like this when there is nothing to inhale when they want to!
Seeing their frightened expressions, Shu Xiaoxiao explained, "When the poison takes effect, without the longevity cream, they will be unable to control themselves and will bite their tongues to commit suicide. Therefore, their movements must be controlled when the poison takes effect."
"Lord Ye, can you knock him out? This looks too painful. It should be better if he faints!" The young man in brocade clothes next to him asked expectantly. Looking at the scene, he really wanted to faint.
Shu Xiaoxiao shook her head regretfully: "If you faint, your life will be in danger. There is a high possibility that you will never wake up."
Young Master in Brocade Clothes:............
Shu Tingfei stood behind his elder brother, pulling his elder brother's sleeve tightly, feeling extremely grateful. He almost burst into tears when looking at his sister's back. It was so almost, so almost, he might have been among them too!
Mother Li from Lichunlou has also woken up. She hadn't figured out what was going on at first, but now she is huddled aside, not daring to make a sound. She still hasn't figured out how the longevity cream became like this.
After all, it was something used by nobles. When she first got it, she specially sought help from a doctor. How could it become like this? It has harmed so many nobles. Not to mention whether her Lichunlou can continue to operate in the future, she doesn't even know whether she can save her life.
The mothers of other brothels also opened their eyes wide. This... offended so many nobles. Who knows if the masters behind them can protect them? They... they didn't mean it!
At this moment, some people also remembered the mothers of these brothels. No matter how the things appeared in the brothels, they must seek an explanation.
But the mothers in the brothel didn't know that this stuff was poisonous, so Shu Tingyu took these people away for interrogation. In any case, these mothers must have been the first to come into contact with the longevity cream. No matter how they would be held accountable in the future, the origin of the longevity cream must be clarified now.
The mothers who were visiting the brothel were taken away, and the others had no time to care about them. They gathered around the imperial doctors to ask about their conditions.
But there is nothing wrong at the moment. Judging from the pulse, the body is very weak. The symptoms include dilated pupils, sweating, trembling, accelerated heartbeat, and difficulty breathing. He can only endure this on his own.
As for continuing to take the drug and becoming completely addicted, the body will be too weak, life span will be shortened, and infertility will occur, these are the most basic conditions. There are definitely more side effects that they themselves need to slowly discover. The best way is to quit, and then the body will slowly recover.
Shu Xiaoxiao told the little bit of what she knew. She had never taken drugs before, and she learned all this from books or videos. She only had a general idea, but the main thing was that she knew that this stuff should never be touched. She only needed to know this, and her decades of study would not be in vain.
It will damage your lifespan!
Break the grandson!
They felt like the sky was falling as only these two words emerged in their minds. You know, after they felt good about this thing, some of them introduced it to their brothers, and some recommended it to their fathers and sons. Now they are told that this thing will shorten their lifespan and cut off their lineage!
Even if they survived, would they really not be beaten to death when they returned home?
This is not the sky falling, those who have just recovered from drug addiction, still thinking about the discomfort, the worst that can happen is that they can secretly take drugs:................
I will never touch this stuff again...
Everyone immediately looked at Doctor Zhang eagerly. Lord Ye was usually very busy, and she was not a specialized doctor. Maybe her medical skills were not very good!
Doctor Zhang nodded calmly under everyone's expectant gazes, "Lord Ye is right. Judging from your pulses, you are all weak. Some of you appear to be fine on the surface, but in fact, you have already suffered damage inside. If this continues for a long time, it will be harmful to your lifespan and health."
“Then…then let’s…”
Li Licai, who had just had an attack, controlled his still trembling body and asked with difficulty: "Then how can we quit this addiction?"
He was a poor guy who was introduced by a friend. His family was relatively well off. He was still studying and his schoolwork had been a little difficult recently. His friend said he wanted to bring him here to relax. He tried it a few times and felt good. Who knew...
He originally felt a little resentful, but seeing that his friend looked even more miserable than him, he thought that ignorance is not a crime. Seeing his friend like this, he probably didn't know either. But he would never believe what he said and relax again. Now he could only try his best to see how to treat it.
"boil!"
Shu Xiaoxiao looked at everyone's expectant expressions with a firm voice. In any case, she had never heard of drugs and antidotes in modern times. However, she knew in the drug rehabilitation center that if one wanted to quit drugs, they could only rely on their own will or force themselves to do so.
Moreover, there are so many people taking Fu Shou Gao now, and ancient drug rehabilitation centers must be prepared as soon as possible. It would be better to have imperial doctors looking after them.
As the drug addiction attacked one after another, the imperial doctors became busy. A new batch of ropes and cloth strips for gags were delivered. Shu Tingyu was investigating the source of the Fushou ointment, while the Sixth Prince, after seeing the scenes of everyone suffering from the drug addiction, hurried to the palace to report.
Through Shu Tingyu's interrogation, they found that the spread of Fu Shou Gao was more widespread than they thought, and its effect was so vicious. How could they wait until tomorrow? They had to report the matter to the emperor overnight to deal with it.
Shu Xiaoxiao and Yun Qinghan were in charge of the situation on the scene. Although they had learned about this kind of thing in modern times, it was the first time that Shu Xiaoxiao actually saw the appearance of a person under the influence of drugs. Their hideous looks were even more terrifying than imagined.
If Yun Qinghan hadn't been there to protect her, she would have wanted to run away.
Many people were trembling and going crazy, and some even hurt themselves. Several imperial doctors were shocked. Fortunately, the Sixth Prince and his two men brought enough people with them, and the ropes and handkerchiefs to gag them arrived in time, so they managed to control the scene temporarily.
Because there were so many people, those who had not yet had an attack also asked to be tied up, for they were worried that when they had an attack, no one would notice them, and who knew what cruel things they would do. They would rather be in a miserable state than hurt themselves.
Shu Xiaoxiao and the others naturally had no objection to this request. They not only had them tied up tightly, but also blocked their mouths.
Shu Xiaoxiao is relieved, and they are also relieved.
Not only several imperial physicians, but all the doctors in Kyoto had been invited. However, they could only diagnose that they were physically weak and that all their internal organs were damaged. They could only prescribe some warming and nourishing herbs as much as possible. After all, it was quite tiring for them when the poison took effect, and their bodies were very weak, so they still needed to be well nourished.
The emperor was also surprised when he heard the report. He even came to Pipa Lane despite it being late at night. He was frightened when he saw their appearance when they had the attack.
After knowing what had happened and learning from Shu Xiaoxiao about the dangers of the Fushou ointment, he took it very seriously.
