Waking up, Jiang Li found herself transmigrated into a novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character. She was destined to be a stepping stone for her illegitimate sister and would be ...
With a "bang", the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
A maid rushed out screaming.
"What's going on?!"
Seeing this, the housekeeper behind Old Madam Liu quickly stepped forward, grabbed the little maid, and scolded her, "Cai Lian, are you crazy?! How can you act like this? Aren't you afraid of offending the noble?"
Old Madam Liu's face had completely darkened.
The princess encountered such a thing on her first visit. If this gets out, will the reputation of their Liu Mansion be ruined?
However, Cai Lian didn't care about anything else. She screamed and pointed behind her: "Miss...Miss she..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman with a face so pale that there was no trace of blood on her face, only a pair of blood-red eyes walked out of the room. Her hands were scratching at the air and a terrifying roar came out of her mouth.
Like zombies.
Jiang Li thought of what Jiang Shengsheng wrote in the letter about refining corpse oil. It seemed that Miss Liu's current condition was the real symptom of being poisoned by corpse poison.
"ah--"
This time, not only the maid named Cai Lian, but everyone else present also started screaming when they saw this.
They had never seen such a lady before. Looking at her appearance, she looked almost like she was possessed by a ghost.
"shut up!"
Old Madam Liu wasn't panicking at all, acting like a matriarch. Seeing her insane granddaughter approaching them, she slammed her dragon-headed cane to the ground and said, "Everyone, calm down. Go and bring the young lady into the room."
Even so, the servants were still frightened to the point of losing control of their bladder.
However, seeing that the princess was standing there without moving, without even a trace of fear on her face, he gradually calmed down.
The housekeeper took a deep breath and walked towards her young lady with a few maids.
But before they got close, Liu Jingyun's roar suddenly increased, and he even pounced towards the people coming, as if he wanted to bite them.
At this moment, the psychological preparation that everyone had just made collapsed in an instant, and even the housekeeper stepped back honestly.
"Yun'er..."
Mrs. Liu, who had been crying for a long time just because of a sentence, now showed no sign of cowardice at all. She shook off the hand of the maid beside her and rushed straight towards her daughter.
"Yun'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother!"
Mrs. Liu stepped forward and grabbed Liu Jingyun's waving hand, trying to wake him up.
But Liu Jingyun, whose eyes were already blank, no longer recognized anyone. When he saw someone stopping him, he instantly became even more manic.
"Yun'er!"
When Madam Liu saw Liu Jingyun struggling to free her hands and even trying to attack her, she slapped the woman in the face and said, "Yun'er, wake up!"
Perhaps even the old lady did not expect that her daughter-in-law, who always treated her daughter as a treasure, would actually take action.
Everyone present was stunned, even Liu Jingyun was stunned for a moment.
"Yun'er, look at me, I am your mother. Look carefully, I am your mother!"
After slapping her daughter, Mrs. Liu burst into tears of heartache. She held her daughter's face in her hands, wishing she could suffer for her.
"Mrs. Liu, be careful!"
Jiang Li had been watching from the side. When she saw Liu Jingyun react and fall into a state of dementia again, and when he reached for Madam Liu's neck with both hands, she pulled Madam Liu back.
"Xiaoxiao, knock Miss Liu unconscious."
Liu Jingyun missed his attack, and the bloodshot in his eyes became even more intense. When he was about to pounce on Jiang Li, Mo Xiaoxiao suddenly landed behind Liu Jingyun and knocked him unconscious with a knife when he was not prepared.
Mo Xiaoxiao had great strength. After knocking the man unconscious, he carried him back to the room.
Now, everyone in the Liu Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yun'er, my Yun'er!"
Madam Liu was about to faint from crying, but finally it was Madam Liu who spoke up and asked the maid to help the person to the room to rest for a while.
Don’t let Liu Jingyun not be cured by the time another one falls in the Liu Mansion.
"Princess, what on earth is going on?"
After Jiang Li finished the examination, Madam Liu began to ask questions.
"Miss Liu's illness is not ordinary hysteria. The old lady must send someone to keep an eye on Miss Liu these days and make sure she doesn't do anything that would hurt others or herself."
After Jiang Li finished his instructions, he sullenly wrote down a prescription and handed it to the frightened Cai Lian beside him. "From today on, follow this prescription to prepare the medicine. The instructions for decocting the medicine are also written on it. Remember, three times a day, and be sure to feed your young lady the medicine on time."
She had just fed Liu Jingyun a tranquilizing pill, and this sedative prescription could temporarily suppress the manic symptoms caused by the corpse poison in her body.
However, this is different from the epidemic in Qinzhou. If you want to completely detoxify it, you still need to get the corpse oil that caused the poison. I just hope that after Qin Yu’s report, the Dali Temple Minister can get something tonight.
"By the way, does Old Madam Liu know where Miss Liu's illness came from?"
Madam Liu was still in shock over what Jiang Li had just said, but now she came to her senses and thought carefully. "To be honest, we don't know where it all started. I just remember a few days ago, on Yun'er's birthday, she went to the temple with her mother to burn incense early in the morning, then went out to a teahouse to watch an opera. She was so happy when she came back, but that evening, she collapsed."
Burning incense in the temple, listening to opera in the teahouse... Jiang Li thought for a moment. If there was something unusual in these places, Liu Jingyun shouldn't be the only one in trouble.
Jiang Li had no idea where Qin Ji's corpse oil would be used for, and was still worried that other patients might suddenly develop manic symptoms, so he didn't stay. After comforting Old Madam Liu, he left the Liu Mansion.
"Doctor You, come back alive!"
Fortunately, when Jiang Li was teaching Doctor You how to make detoxification pills, he also taught him how to make tranquility pills.
Upon hearing that there were new developments in the symptoms, Imperial Physician You hurriedly stopped the other doctors who were about to go off duty. They set up stalls on the spot, and soon the backyard of the Imperial Hospital became a medicine-making workshop.
"Princess, Miss Liu from Master Liu's house on East Street has fallen ill. I have sent her a prescription and tranquilizing pills."
"Princess, Miss Li from Master Li's family in East Street is not ill. I have sent her a prescription and tranquilizing pills for future use."
"Princess, Miss Qin from the Qin family in South Street has fallen ill. I have sent her a prescription and tranquilizing pills."
"princess……"
On the other side, the medicine delivery escort team composed of palace guards also began to move.
On the one hand, they delivered medicine point-to-point based on the medical records registered by the Imperial Hospital. On the other hand, they checked whether there were similar cases in other families besides the ministers.
A few hours later, the commander of the guards found Jiang Li with the results of the investigation.
"Princess, we've checked almost all the people in the capital. Aside from the daughters of two merchant families who have shown symptoms, all others are fine for now."
"Only two?"
"Yes, Miss An Wanqiu from the An Mansion, and Miss Yin Jia from the Yin Mansion."
