Old Shen Momo's eyes flashed with surprise, but the surprise merely lasted for a fleeting second, "Young Miss Gu, whatever had happened in Minister's Residence this old body had also heard little of it, but there are some words this old body need to remind you of. If you had thought, that treating the Imperial Goddess to buy for time, then you have made a big mistake, you must know that fire cannot be wrapped up with paper if you really were to lie to Prince Li, if there comes a day where Prince Li gets to know of this, the consequences of it, it is something that you are not able to afford it yourself."
Gu Qianxue indifferently laughed while nodding her head up and down, turning her body around to seriously take a look at Shen Momo and said, "Qianxue knows that Momo is telling me this for my own good, though rest assured, I said that I would be able to treat her then it means I will be able to treat, even though short term treatments are not that good at all, I still have my own ways, in letting the Imperial Goddess's condition improve."
Shen Momo coldly laughed while shaking her head, her face turned into one of that seriousness, looked around, and said, "You are all dismissed."
Maid Zhouwei listened afterward, bid her greetings then retreated to go out.
Gu Qianxue's eyes drooped downwards, her heart knew, that this Shen Momo indeed was not a simple role that played in this game, she must know some of the inside stories regarding Consort Qin's madness.
Waiting for the room to quieten down, Shen Momo only then slowly spoke, "Since Miss Gu thinks that you are able to cure of Consort Qin's madness, then this old body would like to ask of you, Imperial Goddess had obtained what sort of illness?"
What Consort Qin gained was not a mental illness, but it also is not madness either, in this way what did Shen Momo mean when she had asked this sort of question? Did she knew some of the insides of the story or is she trying to test her? How should she answer this?"
Shen Momo wore ash-gray colored padded clothing, the bottom half is a dark blue tight-fitting skirt, her greying hair was tied up to a bun where not a single piece of hair was out of place, apart from the piece of a basic external accessory hairpin, there was nothing else apart from that.
The atmosphere suddenly solidified.
Gu Qianxue quietly stands on one side of the carved bed, drooping her eyes downwards. Under the slight smell of the medicine in the room, she has a sense of standing out of the world.
Her pale red lips slightly open, "Does Momo want to hear the truth or lies?"
Shen Momo sneered, "Of course, it's the truth. I have lived for so long, could it be that you, this silly little girl, be able to have the last laugh?"
Gu Qianxue nodded, then raised her eyes, her eyes burst out a sharp gaze within the thick eyelashes. "Imperial Goddess is indeed poisoned."
"!" Shen Momo's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and the old woman's eyes were full of killing intent.
Gu Qianxue chuckled and said, "Momo is really contradictory. If I don't see the illness of the Imperial Goddess, you will kill me for cheating out of Prince Li; if I see the disease of Imperial Goddess, you will still kill me in order to silence myself. No matter what the truth is, I have no way to live. Aren't you like Prince Li? But I don't understand. I pushed Prince Li into the water and Prince Li had killed me. But I have no grievances about what was in the past and no hatred in what happened in the recent days. Why do you have to make me suffer like this? Since you don't want the Imperial Goddess to be ill, and you're afraid that the truth will be seen by others, why don't you just let me diagnose the disease?"
After a few words, she was speechless.
Gu Qianxue glanced at Shen Momo lightly, "In fact, I'm not afraid of Prince Lii."
Mother Shen was stunned, and then there was disdain in her eyes, "Oh?"
Gu Qianxue showed his hand, "Although I, Gu Qianxue am not a very important personage such as a prince or a princess, my father is still also a second-grade official. My grandfather is the Grand Marshal of the town. If Prince Li is not afraid of trouble, he can kill me. Now I take the risk to see the Imperial Goddess. I just don't want to implicate my grandfather and mother."
Gu Qianxue said and looked deeply at the sleeping Consort Qin on the bed. "Prince Li tried every means to save his mother. Why not I, Gu Qianxue, give it a shot? At the end of the day, he is just a poor child who can't live without the Imperial Goddess who is also his mother. "
After hearing this, Shen Momo finally relaxed her eyebrows and sighed, "Good girl, you should diagnose the Imperial Goddess. As long as you do your best, even if you can't cure the Imperial Goddess, I will try my best to keep you safe."
Was Gu Qianxue really hating to part with this cheap mother Zhao Shi in this whole lifetime? It was really something that was hard to answer.
Gu Qianxue was also gambling on women's nature and maternal love. Obviously, she had won.
It was easy to guess the identity of the person who poisoned imperial concubine Qin without thinking much about it. It's probably some people in the harem. Who are they? She doesn't want to know. She just wants to protect her life and live in peace and security.
With permission, Gu Qianxue took out the self-made medical equipment again and diagnosed Qin Fei again.
The bamboo tube is a simple stethoscope used to listen to the heartbeat rate.
Because of Gu Qianxue's female identity, she had a unique advantage in consulting Consort Qin's illness. She can observe all the body features of Consort Qin closely and without any scruples. Through breathing and heartbeat sounds, and body surface features, she can predict the direction of treatment she would be using, even if she is unable to know the name of the illness.
"Miss Gu, will you call the maid in with your old body?" Asked mother Shen.
"No, they're in the way." Gu Qianxue's face did not change, a pair of bright eyes focused on looking at Qin Fei.
Shen Momo did not speak. In fact, she was very suspicious of Gu Qianxue.
Even though Gu Qianxue was right, Shen Momo always believed that the eldest lady of the Minister, who had a poor reputation and was extremely mediocre, could not suddenly become a doctor. What's more, it's so weird to use a bamboo tube and a bamboo hammer.
Gu Qianxue put down all the "medical equipment", stood up, and began to twist her wrists and roll her shoulders.
Shen Momo was scared by the said line of actions and blocked her while standing in front of Consort Qin. "What are you going to do?"
"You have invited so many doctors. I think some of them had seen the cause on mother. Since we can see that it has not been cured, it shows that the poison is not so easy to solve. So, instead of continuing to tangle with the results, I might as well try to find a way to relieve the disease immediately. " The bones were examined by Gu Qianxue this girl to obtain the encephalogram by rattling the bone down a bit. Different from the coarse action, the tone of the bone had always been steady and unreactive.
She doesn't know why, clearly the other party is just a 14-year-old girl who has not grown fully yet into an adult, and still an unknown official lady, but she exudes a kind of admirable aura.
This aura made Shen Momo have the illusion that Gu Qianxue can finally cure Qin Fei's illness.
When Shen Momo became aware of her way of thinking afterward, she only felt that it was ridiculous. Laughing ridiculously at herself for her entire handful of age she had lived for so far, unexpectedly that there was this kind of young delusion.
"Yes, but what is Miss Gu going to do?" asked Shen Momo..
"Just now I did an inspection on the knees to test for palpitations on the Imperial Goddess and found that her muscle spindles, tendons, and neurons were okay. This is a good sign that her body has not been fatally damaged, especially the spine and spinal cord." Gu Qianxue said as she took off the outer coat on her body.
Shen Momo looked at all this in a daze and to go as far as not to stop her from removing the coat off Consort Qin's body...
Gu Qianxue continued to explain while doing some preparatory activities. "There are several kinds of poisons, no matter the size or the type of toxicity. They act on the nerves, blood, and muscles. It's lucky that the person who poisoned Consort Qin did not reveal his or her identity. The poison is chronic, and the drug is not too much in quantity nor is it toxic in poison quality. It's a pity that she has been poisoned for too long… "
Shen Momo couldn't help interrupting, "Wait a minute, Miss Gu. You've talked till you've made this old body of mine dizzy till I feel like fainting, just say to the point, so what are you going to do?"
At this time, Gu Qianxue had taken off the outer coat of Consort Qin, turned around, and earnestly said to Shen Momo, "Very simple, a massage."
