Chapter 147: Exorcism
Thinking that he knew his elder brother was poisoned by a Gu but was unable to do anything about it, the originally weak Mengxi became so anxious that he spit out a mouthful of blood.
When Zhiqiu saw this, he was so shocked that he dropped the box in his hand, stepped forward to support Mengxi, and shouted:
"Second, Second Master, what's wrong with you? Don't scare the tiger slave."
Seeing Mengxi vomiting blood, the people in the room were shocked by the jade-like young man in front of them, and were even more moved by his pure love. Doctor Li hurried over and said.
"Mr. Li, are you okay? Let me feel your pulse."
Mengxi just shook her head after hearing this. Zhiqiu's eyes were already full of tears. He wiped the blood from the corner of Second Mistress's mouth with a handkerchief and murmured:
"Second Master, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have asked you to come. I shouldn't have asked you to come!"
"If Master Shangguan is truly beyond saving, that is God's will. Fate plays tricks on us. How can you force it on your own? God's will cannot be violated!"
Upon seeing this, Imperial Doctor Li and Master Li hurried over to persuade them.
"It is God's will! It is God's will! Ha, ha, ha... I don't believe in God. I must fight against God!"
After hearing what Doctor Li said, Mengxi remembered the oath she made on Qiqiao Night and laughed wildly, but her laughter was filled with sadness.
Zhiqiu hugged Mengxi's frail body and shook her vigorously:
"Sir, don't do this, don't do this"
Everyone in the room was stunned by Mengxi's wild laughter. They didn't know how much desolation the young man in front of them had stored in his heart and how much suffering , which made him not even believe in the heaven. For a moment, they even forgot to step forward to dissuade him.
After a long time, Mengxi finally calmed down under Zhiqiu's comfort, and Zhiqiu let Mengxi go.
After a while of silence, Zhiqiu suddenly remembered the box on the ground, hurried over to pick it up, came to Mengxi, opened the box and said:
"Sir, these medicines were all prepared by you. They are rare and special medicines that you don't sell. Please take a look and see which one can cure your disease. You once said that any one of them is worth a fortune. Sir, please look for it quickly. Find it out quickly. This, this, this..."
After hearing Zhiqiu's words, everyone looked at the box in unison, especially Doctor Li, whose eyes glowed blue, but they also knew that Mengxi was Shangguan's sworn brother, so they could only watch and drool.
Zhiqiu didn't care about the greedy looks of these people. He took out the medicine in the box one by one and presented them to Mengxi as if he were presenting treasures.
The Second Grandma vomited blood, which scared her. She really regretted bringing the Second Grandma out today. The Second Grandma has always been weak, and now she vomited blood. Thinking that the Second Grandma would have no chance to recuperate after returning home, she became even more worried.
At this moment, she not only secretly regretted being soft-hearted and bringing the second grandma out, but Shangguan's life or death was not her and the second grandma's business.
Mengxi had calmed down at this moment, watching Zhiqiu taking out medicines one by one. When she saw Zhiqiu take out the spices prepared with red heart bananas in the morning, an idea flashed in her mind. The red heart bananas in the south are naturally the nemesis of various exotic flowers in the Western Regions. If the Gu in big brother was fed by the exotic flowers in the Western Regions, then the fragrance of the red heart bananas might be able to attract the female Gu. Thinking of this, Mengxi grabbed the medicine bottle in Zhiqiu's hand and said decisively:
"Yes, that's it."
This scared Zhiqiu, and she looked at her second grandmother with wide eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I was just in a hurry."
"Second Young Master..."
Zhiqiu wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Mengxi. Mengxi turned around with the medicine bottle and came to Shangguan's bed. He looked at Doctor Li and the others and said:
"I want to try the medicine I prepared myself, but I don't know how effective it is, and I'm not sure I can save my brother's life."
Mengxi only speculated that the red banana would be useful, but she was not 100% sure. Everyone in the room was moved by Mengxi's sincerity and hard work. Besides, there was no other way to cure Shangguan's illness. After hearing her words, they all nodded repeatedly, thinking it would be better to let him give it a try.
I saw that Master Li nodded firmly to Mengxi, his eyes full of encouragement. Little Zongzi was even more like a chicken, nodding continuously and saying:
"Please feel free to try, sir. If it doesn't work, I will never blame you. I will only be grateful to you."
Zhiqiu rolled his eyes after hearing what Xiao Zongzi said. What are you talking about? As a servant, what can I do if I complain? The key is that the master doesn't complain!
Turning his head to look at Shangguan who was unconscious on the bed, it was difficult for him to promise not to blame the Second Mistress for killing him. He shook his head, sighed, and stopped talking.
Xiao Zong called two strong servants in, took a basin of water and placed it beside the bed. Meng Xi took out a few silver needles from the box and sealed several major acupoints near Mr. Shangguan's heart. He also asked for half a bowl of sesame oil, poured the powder in the bottle into the sesame oil, and stirred it with a spoon. The fragrance was immediately overwhelming and refreshing. Everyone couldn't help but sigh that the owner of Yichun Hall could make such a wonderful fragrance.
The prepared fragrant oil was placed in front of Shangguan's eyes, allowing the fragrance to float directly into his nose. After a while, small bags were seen on Shangguan's skin, rising and falling, as if something was wriggling. Shangguan's teeth could be heard chattering, and everyone in the room was stunned. They all held their breath, staring at Shangguan without blinking.
Mengxi hurriedly ordered the servants to hold down Shangguan's hands and feet to prevent them from touching the silver needles near his heart meridian and injuring it. However, Shangguan's face became more and more distorted, as if in extreme pain. The blisters on his skin became more and more frequent, like waves of flowing water.
After waiting for about half an hour, Shangguan's skin gradually calmed down. Mengxi began to move the bowl away, and signaled the servants to move Shangguan away from the bed. She moved Shangguan's head to the side of the bed, and asked Xiao Zongzi to come and support him, with his mouth facing the basin of water on the ground. After a while, Shangguan opened his mouth, vomited a bunch of white stuff with a wow sound, and then continued to vomit. When everyone looked carefully, they saw a bunch of white bugs, which was frightening. They all looked up at Mengxi, marveling at her superb medical skills.
Xiao Zongzi was so frightened by the white bugs that his hands were shaking, and Shangguan's head was shaking along with his hands. Master Li could n't bear to watch it anymore, so he came over, pushed Xiao Zongzi aside, and held Shangguan up himself.
When Shangguan couldn't vomit anything and just kept retching, Xiao Zongzi hurriedly asked someone to prepare some water for Shangguan to rinse his mouth. Mengxi glanced at him and said:
"Not urgent."
As he spoke, he handed the bowl to him. Doctor Li saw that Xiao Zongzi's hands were still shaking, so he stepped forward and took it.
Mengxi poured some medicine powder from another bottle, put it into the bowl and stirred it evenly. The fragrance in the room seemed to be ten times stronger. She motioned to Doctor Li to bring the bowl to Shangguan's mouth. After a while, Shangguan's body shook violently, and his mouth opened, spitting out a dark red worm that was more than three inches long, as thick as a thumb, and fell into the bowl in Doctor Li's hand. Even Doctor Li was so scared that his hands shook.
Mengxi then let out a long sigh and said, the mother Gu has come out, and everything is fine. After hearing what Mengxi said, the people in the room all breathed a sigh of relief, and the air began to become lively again.
