212 Treating the Old Marquis

When Su Mo was about to enter, he was stopped by Su Xiaoxiao.

“Please wait outside, Young Master Su.”

Su Mo glanced at Physician Fu. Clearly, he thought this was Physician Fu’s intention.

Physician Fu muttered in his head, “It’s useless to look at me. I’m just a teacher in name. I came to learn…”

But he said calmly, “That’s right. When I practice medicine, I don’t like anyone disturbing me.”

Heavens, he actually spoke to the future heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei like this. Could he walk out of the capital alive…

Su Mo retracted his foot and said to Physician Fu, “Then, I’ll have to trouble Doctor Fu.”

Physician Fu broke out in cold sweat.

He was scared to death…

Su Xiaoxiao closed the door and bolted it.

Su Mo looked at the closed door without blinking. He suppressed the anxiety in his heart and waited silently.

The servant at the side was puzzled. Even the Imperial Physician was not so arrogant as to reject his young master.

The room was filled with a thick medicinal fragrance. The doors and windows were closed, and the smell could not be dissipated. It was so stuffy that one felt a little dizzy.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the window.

Physician Fu said, “Can the Old Marquis take the wind? The capital is still very cold.”

Su Xiaoxiao took a pole and pressed it against the window. “We have to maintain the air circulation in the ward. A little breeze is fine.”

The curtain of the Luohan bed was also lowered. It was so tightly covered that one would be suffocated even if she was not sick.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the veil and hung it up with a tent hook.

Physician Fu came over to help hang the other half of the veil.

A thin and old sickly face entered their vision.

Physician Fu had seen the Old Marquis when he was young. Although he had only seen him a few times, the mighty and burly Marquis of Zhenbei had left a deep impression on him.

Who would have thought that in just twenty years, the First-grade Martial Lord who had casually beheaded the enemy king and defended the northern territory would actually fall to such a withered appearance?

A great sadness surged in Physician Fu’s heart.

Men did not cry easily, but perhaps it was because they had not experienced sadness.

Physician Fu’s eyes suddenly turned red. “How did it become like this… How did it become like this…”

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t relate to Physician Fu’s emotions. However, from a doctor’s point of view, this patient had indeed suffered a lot of illness.

When he was young, he did not take good care of his body. He suffered countless light injuries and old injuries. He was even repeatedly torn and seriously injured in the same areas. After healing, extremely ugly scars remained.

Some injuries would leave aftereffects. They tortured his body repeatedly on countless cold nights.

These were injuries. He also had an illness.

It was impossible to imagine how it was to have a body that was riddled with holes.

Su Xiaoxiao calmly took the patient’s pulse and took out a stethoscope from the small medicine box Liu Ping had made for her. She listen to his heart and lungs.

His heart was arrhythmic.

It matched the pulse.

She took out the blood pressure gauge again, rolled up the patient’s sleeve, and took his blood pressure.

His blood pressure was a little low.

Su Xiaoxiao opened his eyelids with her fingers and checked the changes in his pupils with a small flashlight.

The pupils were so large that the cornea reflection was almost invisible, and the reflection of light had disappeared.

The patient’s condition was between a moderate and serious coma. If she did not intervene, the brain stem reaction would completely disappear. That would be a serious coma. There might be even be respiratory failure, heart stop, or even brain death.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at his fingers again.

Su Xiaoxiao’s calm medical practice pulled Physician Fu out of his suppressed and sorrowful emotions.

He wiped his tears, pulled himself together, and asked, “Is there anything I can help with?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Continue to take the patient’s blood pressure two to three times in fifteen minutes.”

“Okay.” Physician Fu came to the bed and took the blood pressure gauge.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the door and walked out.

Seeing her come out, Su Mo hurriedly asked, “How’s my grandfather?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Before answering you, I want to know the patient’s diet and living conditions.”

Su Mo took a deep breath and nodded patiently. He said to the servant at the side, “Who took care of Grandpa these days?”

“It was me,” the servant said.

Su Xiaoxiao asked about the patient’s habits, and the servant answered truthfully.

The Old Marquis loved to drink. Those who licked blood ate meat and drank wine in big bowls to satiate themselves. The Imperial Physician had once reminded the Old Marquis that alcohol was harmful to the body.

The Old Marquis did not listen to advice and continued to drink.

It was not until half a year ago that the Old Marquis could not take it anymore and quit drinking.

He continued to consume meat.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, “When was the last time the patient ate?”

The servant said, “Yesterday afternoon, He ate two mouthfuls of porridge. He hasn’t eaten a single drop of rice since.”

“How long has he been unconscious? Be more specific,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“This…” The servant scratched his head.

Su Mo said, “I came to look for Grandpa last night and wanted him to eat something. Grandpa said that he couldn’t eat. Then he fell asleep and didn’t wake up again in the morning.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “So you don’t know when he passed out?”

The servant lowered his head. “I’m useless.”

A patient becoming unconscious at night was the easiest to neglect. It was not this servant’s fault.

“Have you seen nausea, vomiting, cough, and other symptoms recently?”

“Yes, yes!” the servant said.

“How long has it been?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The servant replied, “It started last winter.”

Su Mo frowned. “Why haven’t I heard of it?”

The servant lowered his head. “The Old Marquis hid it and didn’t allow me to say it. He couldn’t take it anymore last month and invited the Imperial Physician over. The Imperial Physician gave him a prescription and it was better. Who would have thought that his condition would suddenly worsen half a month ago?”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Is there angina?”

“This… I’m not sure. The Old Marquis is very strong…”

Su Xiaoxiao understood what he meant. The Old Marquis was someone who didn’t groan even when he was in pain.

Su Xiaoxiao already had a deduction in her heart, but she still needed to confirm it further.

She said to Su Mo, “Your grandfather’s illness still needs to be diagnosed, but you said that he suddenly worsened half a month ago. I found out the reason.”

“What is it?” Su Mo asked.

“He was poisoned,” Su Xiaoxiao said seriously.

Su Mo’s expression changed.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “I’m not sure what poison it is, but your grandfather does have symptoms of poisoning.”

Su Mo held his breath. “Can, can you undo it?”

“I’ll try.”

With that, Su Xiaoxiao entered the house and closed the door again.

Su Mo clenched his fists.

His grandfather was actually poisoned…

“Was the Old Marquis really poisoned? What poison?” Physician Fu asked.

“I don’t know,” Su Xiaoxiao said honestly.

She did not know much about ancient poisons, so she really could not tell what kind of poison the Old Marquis had been poisoned with.

Physician Fu was stunned. “I wonder what poison it is… How can it be cured?”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the bottle of Bezoar Detox Pills in the small medicine box.
