Chapter 215: Consultation 1
After the few people exchanged greetings, Ye Jintang asked four servants to carry Old Madam Li into Yuchun Hall.
Li Jinhui originally wanted to go with them, but since it was the backyard of the palace, he had to give up.
"Lord Li, please come this way. The princess' medical skills are very good, so you don't have to worry too much."
Xiao Mo made a gesture of invitation, and Li Jinhui quickly bowed to him.
"Your Highness Princess is willing to help me treat my mother. Regardless of whether she can be cured or not, I am grateful to you, Your Highness and Your Highness Princess."
Xiao Mo invited Li Jinhui to the study to drink tea together and wait for the result from Ye Jintang.
The two of them did not talk about any state affairs in the study, but instead talked about the martial arts competition in the South Camp, in which Zhou Wuwei won the championship.
On the other side, Ye Jintang first comforted Madam Li. Even though she was taking painkillers, her leg disease was still extremely uncomfortable, making Madam Li depressed.
"Madam, bear with it for now. I will feel your pulse to see what the disease is. After confirming the disease, I will treat you immediately."
"Princess, please examine me."
Although Madam Li had an imperial decree, she would never have dared to think about having the princess see her before.
It was because Princess Qin had a good temper that she was able to persuade such people. If it were any other princess, she would have cursed the Li family to death behind their backs.
Ye Jintang learned how to take a pulse from Master Mu for some time. She took Madam Li's pulse with full confidence, but in the end she felt nothing and could not find out anything.
Madam Li's pulse was really too strange.
"Master, please come and check Madam Li's pulse."
With just one look, the pastor realized that Ye Jintang probably didn't see the whole picture.
She took a step forward, and as soon as her fingers touched Madam Li's pulse, she felt something was wrong.
"This kind of pulse that beats like a drum is most likely caused by poisoning."
When Master Mu finished speaking, Ye Jintang and Old Madam Li were both surprised.
"Madam, let me take a look at the wound on your leg."
Liuli took off Madam Li's shoes and socks, revealing her red and swollen knees and calves.
The entire calf below the knee was swollen like a steamed bun, and the knee area was red and a little weird.
Ye Jintang gently touched the red and swollen areas with his hands, and they were all hot.
"Madam, does it hurt here?"
"It hurts."
Gently pressing Mrs. Li's knee, she immediately grimaced in pain.
I don't feel anything at the swelling area in my calf.
"It looks like the lesion is in the knee."
"Liuli, bring me my silver needle."
Ye Jintang's silver needles are more sensitive than ordinary silver needles. If they are really poisonous, the silver needles will definitely react.
As soon as the thin silver needle pierced Mrs. Li's knee, she burst into tears due to the pain.
Ye Jintang was puzzled. What kind of poison was so strange that it could amplify the pain and make people feel so painful that they would rather die than live.
As soon as the silver needle touched Madam Li's blood, it immediately turned black, like a ball of ink.
"Madam, besides leg pain, do you have any other symptoms?"
"My legs hurt so much that I have no appetite on weekdays and I can't sleep well at night. I am always woken up by the noise."
"I've had leg pain for four years. I've been tortured to the point where I'm no longer human."
Mrs. Li was lying on the couch, tears flashing in her cloudy eyes. If it weren't for her children and grandchildren, she would have committed suicide long ago to end it all.
"I suspect the old lady was poisoned by a scorpion called the Ink Evil Scorpion. Ink Evil Scorpions usually grow in the dense forests of the mountains in the south. They are as big as a palm and can kill a person instantly if stung by them."
"Madam, please recall how your leg disease came about. I guess someone must have pierced your knee with a needle dipped in scorpion venom powder, which is why your leg is always hurting."
"The book states that if the tail of the Black Evil Poison Scorpion is dried and ground into powder, the poison is still there, but it is no longer fatal. As long as the poison is not removed, the affected area will continue to be painful."
When Mrs. Li heard this, her brows furrowed and the corners of her lips drooped slightly.
After a while, she said, "Four years ago, I accidentally fell and both my knees were bruised and even had bones broken."
"I have always thought it was a sequelae of that fall. I have seen countless doctors over the years, and the bones have long since healed. I just don't know why my legs keep hurting."
"Now it seems that someone tampered with the medicine when applying the medicine to the skin on the knee."
"My Lady Princess, do you have the antidote to save my life?"
Madam Li, who had been listless just now, suddenly struggled to sit up.
"Naturally there is."
Ye Jintang asked Liuli to bring the detoxification pills, but did not include any space spring water.
The detoxification pills all use medicinal materials produced in the space, and their effects are sufficient to detoxify.
Within a cup of tea after Mrs. Li took the detoxification pill, the pain in her legs was greatly relieved.
She pressed gently on her knee with her old hands, but there was no stinging pain.
"Qing'er, help me up."
With the help of her maid, Old Lady Li slowly sat up and wanted to get up and pay her respects to Ye Jintang.
"Madam, your legs are still swollen, there's no need to be so polite."
Ye Jintang hurried forward to support Madam Li. The scorpion venom in her leg had been removed, but the redness and swelling would take at least three days to slowly subside. After all, she had been in pain for four years, so it would still take some time for the swelling to completely subside.
"Madam, I'm writing you a prescription to help you recover. You're old and have suffered so much. It will take at least half a year for you to recover completely."
"Thank you, Princess. You gave me this life. If you have anything to ask, just tell me. I will never refuse anything I can do."
Mrs. Li's promise is not simple.
If Ye Jintang asked the Li family for help at a critical moment, I'm afraid Madam Li would agree without hesitation.
Old Madam Li knew very well that she had endured four years of hardship, and given her current physical condition she was lucky to live for another year.
If Ye Jintang had not treated her in time, she would have died a year later. According to the laws of the Tianqin Kingdom, Li Jinhui, the Minister of Justice, would have to return home to mourn.
Not to mention leaving the court for three years, even if it was just three months, when he came back, I'm afraid there would be no place for Li Jinhui in the Ministry of Justice.
It was for this reason that she had been forcing herself to live all these years, even though the pain kept her awake at night, she was still suffering.
The Li family is a wealthy and powerful family, and there must be a pillar in the court. Li Jinhui lost his position as the Minister of Justice. It is not just a loss for Li Jinhui's branch, but a loss for the entire Li family.
In order to prevent the Li family from being left without anyone in the court, Li Jinhui has been supporting his cousin's son to enter the Ministry of Justice in the past two years.
He hoped that his nephew would be able to support the Ministry of Justice while he was in mourning. If he could no longer serve as the Minister of Justice three years later, it would be good for his nephew to be able to do so, at least the Li family's foundation would still be there.
This idea was also approved by Mrs. Li in the past.
But today Ye Jintang told her that she had been suffering from leg disease because of poisoning, and she wished she could cut the eldest wife into pieces.
Because when she was injured, it was the eldest wife's niece-in-law who applied medicine to her.
It was almost, just a little bit, that Li Jinhui's branch would have handed over the foundation he had built in the Ministry of Justice to others, and to their enemy.
At this moment, Mrs. Li wanted to kowtow to Ye Jintang to thank her for saving her life.
