Chapter 54 Poisonous Weeds
Phantom waved at Liu Tiantong with a smile on his face and said in a gentle tone: "Miss Liu, I look forward to seeing you again."
However, his unconsciously slowed waving movements and the brief pause and concentration in his eyes all hinted at his concern about this separation.
After Shen Yiran and the others said goodbye to Ye Mingyuan, she turned to look at Miss Liu and said softly, "Miss Liu, I want to go with Xiao Ge to visit her mother. I wonder if you are willing to go with us?"
Miss Liu nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, then let's go together."
Just as the group took a few steps forward, Shen Yiran suddenly stopped, her beautiful eyebrows knitted tightly, and she thought to herself: "Oh no, how could she forget about Yun'er? She must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot now, maybe she is going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for that Ice Face."
Then he turned around and ordered Banxia: "Banxia, go back to the mansion and stop Yun'er. Don't let her tell the prince what happened today."
Banxia took the order and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shen Yiran then breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward with Miss Liu and the little pigeon.
At this moment, Shen Yiran looked at Liu Tiantong who was walking side by side with her, and recalled the dangerous situation today. As a weak woman with no martial arts skills, she was able to risk her life to rescue a strange little girl. Her bravery and kindness really made people respect her.
This reminded her of her comrades in the army, who had done the same thing, risking their own lives in critical moments and willing to sacrifice their lives at any time to save others.
Thinking of this, Shen Yiran stopped and said to Liu Tiantong solemnly, "Miss Liu, I am Shen Yiran, the Crown Prince's Consort of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you need any help in the capital in the future, you can come to my mansion to find me."
Liu Tiantong was stunned at first, then she remembered that she had tried her best to conceal the fact that she knew medicine in the carriage, and she understood that she certainly did not want Master Ye and Master Phantom to know her true identity.
Thinking of this, Liu Tiantong smiled brightly and said, "Thank you for being honest with me, Miss. I like your personality very much. If Miss Shen doesn't mind, we can call each other sisters and become friends in the future, okay?"
Shen Yiran smiled happily when she heard this: "That's great, of course. It's my honor to be friends with Miss Liu."
This was the first friend she made after traveling through time, and she was very happy. She said, "From now on, I will call you Tiantong, and you can just call me Yiran."
The two smiled at each other and continued to walk side by side. A quarter of an hour later, under the guidance of the little pigeon, they arrived at a shabby little mud house.
As I walked into the house, a damp and rotten smell hit my nose. The house was dimly lit, the walls were mottled and peeling, and the corners were filled with old junk.
A woman was lying on the only wooden bed. Her hair was disheveled and scattered on the pillow like dead grass. Her clothes were dirty and covered with stains and patches.
She was in a coma at the time and had no idea that three people had walked in.
The little pigeon rushed over, lay on the woman and cried, "Mom! Mom! Please wake up, I brought my two sisters to see you, they will heal you..."
The two people watching the scene had tears in their eyes. Liu Tiantong came forward, gently lifted the little pigeon up and handed it to Shen Yiran, while she took the pulse of the pigeon's mother.
Liu Tiantong frowned, her expression solemn, her fingers gently resting on the pigeon girl's wrist. As time passed, beads of sweat gradually oozed out of her forehead. Her fingers trembled slightly, sometimes increasing the force, sometimes moving gently, trying to find a trace of life from this weak pulse.
After a while, she slowly let go of her hand, her eyes full of confusion and worry. She shook her head, sighed softly, and murmured to herself: "This pulse... is so weak and disordered, I have never seen such symptoms." She looked at Shen Yiran, knowing that her medical skills must be better than hers, and said: "Yiran, you should take her pulse."
Shen Yiran handed the still sobbing little pigeon to Liu Tiantong, squatted down and concentrated on taking the pulse of the pigeon's mother.
After a moment, Shen Yiran frowned tightly, and his expression became increasingly heavy.
Then, she slowly stood up and said with a gloomy face: "She was poisoned, and it was two kinds of poisons. These two poisons restrained each other and conflicted with each other, and they could not be completely eliminated for a long time.
Every time she got sick, she would faint from the pain. This repeated torture had almost worn her body out. The medicine that Xiao Gege used to take was only effective in relieving pain."
She shook her head, her face full of confusion: "I really can't understand, she is just an ordinary village woman, why would she be poisoned by such a domineering poison?"
The two looked at each other, their eyes revealing a desire for the truth.
At this moment, the little pigeon suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "Yes, I'll go find some grass. Mom said that if I eat the grass, the pain will be less." After that, he ran outside.
Shen Yiran signaled Liu Tiantong to stay and look after Pigeon's mother, while she chased after him.
She followed the little pigeon to the riverside, where she pulled up some green grass and called out to Shen Yiran, "Sister, look, this is the kind of grass."
Shen Yiran quickly stepped forward to take the grass and took a look at it, and was shocked. The grass had slender leaves with serrated edges, purple lines on the stems, and a faint pungent smell.
She looked solemn, thinking to herself, "This is a poisonous herb. It is mixed with other poisons. It can still have a relieving effect in the early stage, but it will be exhausted after more than ten years."
This could explain why two kinds of poison could be detected from Pigeon's mother's pulse. Fighting poison with poison is really a very bad strategy. It can only prolong life with difficulty, but it will also accelerate organ failure.
After Shen Yiran pondered for a moment, he resolutely decided to use "Yuehua Shengyu Dan" to save Pigeon's mother. Apart from this, there was really no other way.
She couldn't help but feel a little pain in her heart. This elixir was worth five thousand taels of silver! Pigeon's useless father would definitely not spend money to treat her mother. Even if he was willing, he couldn't afford that much money just by looking at this shabby house.
Forget it. Although she has always loved money, she also understands that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Although she does not believe these, she really cannot bear to see the little pigeon lose its mother at such a young age.
Thinking of this, she pulled the little pigeon towards the earthen house.
When Liu Tiantong saw the grass in Shen Yiran's hand, her eyes suddenly widened in shock, and she exclaimed: "This... Pigeon Lady actually eats poisonous grass!"
She suddenly remembered what Shen Yiran had just said about being poisoned by two kinds of poison. It was as if a flash of lightning passed through her mind. He seemed to understand something in an instant and looked at her anxiously.
Shen Yiran seemed to have expected her to do so. He nodded slightly at her with a firm gaze and gave her an affirmative answer.
At this time, the little pigeon next to her eagerly took the poisonous grass from Shen Yiran's hand, quickly tore off a few leaves, rubbed them hard with her hands, and prepared to stuff them into her mother's mouth.
