Chapter 462 Conjecture
Sheng Ze has been in a coma for three whole days. During these three days, King Zhao's army launched feint attacks every day, and the atmosphere in the army became increasingly tense.
"Strange, why haven't you woken up yet?" Doctor Hu was so worried that two more wrinkles appeared on his face.
He and Shen Qingqian had tried various methods, and judging from Sheng Ze's pulse, there was nothing wrong with his body.
Shen Qingqian was also thinking. Whether it was the medical records or the various cases she had seen, Shengze's situation was not right.
His current condition is somewhat similar to that of a modern vegetative state, but judging by the efficacy of the magic spring water and the universal detoxification pills, as well as the fact that she had used acupuncture to bleed him in the past few days, he should not have no reaction.
The blood that came out this morning was a normal color, but Shengze still showed no signs of waking up. What went wrong?
"Girl, I leave him to you. I, an old man, have no other choice. Alas!" Doctor Hu sighed, shook his head and left.
Shen Qingqian sat on a low stool, looking at Sheng Ze's face, which was already covered with stubble, and frowned slightly.
No, there must be something she overlooked.
When her eyes fell on the tea bowl on the low table, Shen Qingqian suddenly had an idea. She knew!
In order to confirm her guess, Shen Qingqian immediately stood up, lifted her skirt and ran into Liang Cheng's tent.
"Doctor Shen, are you looking for the general? He is not here. Go check ahead." The soldier guarding the gate saw Shen Qingqian running out of breath and said to her without thinking.
Shen Qingqian panted and hurriedly thanked him, then turned around and ran towards the Lanjiang River.
But she stopped halfway through the run.
Liang Cheng should be busy at the moment, so it would not be convenient for her to talk to him alone.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Qingqian turned around and decided to go to the kitchen first.
The head of the kitchen saw her coming and immediately greeted her warmly: "Doctor Shen, you are here, what can I do for you?"
"Well, there is something I would like to ask you for help with." Shen Qingqian smiled faintly and nodded.
"If you have any questions, just tell me. I promise it will be fine."
Shen Qingqian didn't bother to be polite with him. "The general is not here now. I have something important to do and need to go to the stone house to get water. Can you take me there?"
Ever since the spy was caught last time, only two or three people from the kitchen were allowed to enter the stone house.
"Oh, I thought it was something else. If you want water, the big vat over there is filled with water I just drew this morning. Feel free to take some." The head of the kitchen said generously.
Shen Qingqian shook her head. "I have to go get it myself. To detoxify Cheng San, I need water fresh from the well."
"Ah, you want to go in," the head cook immediately said in a dilemma, "but the general has issued a death order. No one else is allowed to approach except us."
Shen Qingqian sighed, "I know you're in a difficult situation, but Cheng San's poison can't be delayed any longer. Take me with you first. If the general blames me, I will bear the responsibility alone."
"This..." He hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, "Okay, I'll take you there, but you must come out as soon as you get the water."
"I understand, don't worry." Shen Qingqian replied immediately.
The two of them took a small wooden barrel from the kitchen and went to the stone house together.
Others who went in to get water needed to be searched, but Shen Qingqian was a woman, and she had a certain reputation in the army these days. The head of the kitchen also gave her repeated assurances, so the guards reluctantly let her in.
"Brother Cheng saved us before, so I will make an exception today and let Doctor Shen in. But please come out as soon as possible." The guard bowed to Shen Qingqian.
Shen Qingqian nodded repeatedly, "I'll be out soon!"
