Chapter 1381 Thinking it was a mental illness
Shu Yu's excessive attention to Young Master Tan puzzled Mrs. Tan, who asked in a low voice, "Lu Xiangjun, is there something wrong?"
Shu Yu snapped out of her reverie, shook her head, and said, "No, I just wanted to ask if Young Master Tan has changed at all since being poisoned."
change?
Before Mrs. Tan could answer, Dr. Zhao, who was washing his hands, said, "It's probably a loss of appetite. He feels nauseous at the sight of food and doesn't want to eat. But he can't vomit after eating, which is how he stays alive."
Mrs. Tan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's exactly it."
This time, she believed that the person in front of her was a truly skilled doctor. Previously, other doctors would ask them about specific symptoms and deduce what disease they had based on what they said.
But the doctor in front of us, Dr. Zhao, spoke directly after taking my pulse.
She recalled Tan Dashao's earlier condition: "Two years ago, he took the imperial examination but failed. After returning home, he ate less. At first, we thought it was because he was upset about failing the exam, which led to his poor appetite. But later, the situation became more and more serious. We consulted a doctor, but they couldn't find anything wrong. They just said it was probably a psychological problem."
But his son had at least traveled far with his master and gained some knowledge, and he only failed the exam once. How could he have developed such a serious mental illness?
Mrs. Tan didn't believe her son was so incapable of handling things. She thought he was just having a temporary lapse in judgment, so she let him go out for a trip and found him something to do.
But the result was still the same, and Mrs. Tan had no choice but to accept that Young Master Tan had indeed developed a heart condition.
However, now the doctor tells her that it's poisoning, not an illness at all, and she doesn't know whether to be happy or sad.
As he listened, Dr. Zhao nodded. “It’s not surprising that other doctors can’t see it either, as this poison is very rare. Not to mention ordinary doctors, even the imperial physicians in the palace may not have seen it before. I have traveled all over the country for many years and have seen this situation before, which is why I am so sure.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Tan felt somewhat relieved.
"Old Zhao, can we detoxify my son now? You mentioned using poison to fight poison, do we really need to use those poisons? Won't they be too... too... toxic?"
Just thinking about the long list of poisons and toxins that Dr. Zhao had originally listed made Mr. Tan shudder, and his whole body felt cold.
Dr. Zhao waved his hand, “Although there are many things, the amount of each one is small, so they are not that toxic. However, it is not possible to detoxify now. Your son’s health has deteriorated quite badly, and the pain of fighting poison with poison requires sufficient physical strength to endure. I need to help him regulate his body first, and we will start again in half a month. In the meantime, you just need to prepare the medicines on the list I have made.”
"Alright, alright, Elder Zhao, just give us your instructions, and we'll do as you say."
Dr. Zhao nodded and added, "By the way, I'll only handle the detoxification; you can deal with the rest yourselves. Especially finding the poisoner—I don't want someone to sabotage the detoxification process halfway through."
Mr. Tan's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Mr. Zhao, please rest assured that this will not happen again. I will find the person who poisoned you as soon as possible."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "I wonder if Elder Zhao could help me find out where the poison was placed?"
"I can't find it. When I first took Young Master Tan's pulse, I said he was poisoned. Since I couldn't control him at the time, he must have disposed of the evidence."
