Fertile land

"Toffee, I know you are very upset now, but you must answer me!"

"Is your heart beating faster, your throat and tongue itching, and you feeling weak, dizzy and dazed?" Concubine Carp suppressed her discomfort and nodded slightly.

"What did the Toffee eat in the morning and afternoon?"

"Yinan, you speak!" Zong Momo said.

Yinan recalled carefully: "The concubine had steamed buns in the morning, and the side dishes included cattail sprouts, perilla leaves, jujubes, and small seafood."

"Lunch: black rice, Hu pancakes, beef and mutton!"

"In the afternoon, I only drank a little pumpkin millet porridge. Because I don't have a good appetite, I ate very little, almost negligible!"

Although she said so much, they didn't see what specific dishes she picked up and ate.

Li Xier lowered her head and thought, now she had to figure out what was going on with her!

Zong Momo: "Is there anything wrong?"

Doctor Hu thought that there was nothing wrong with the food. In his opinion, the main reason was that he ate too many stinky fruits.

"Does Toffee have the habit of drinking alcohol or taking supplements?" If he only eats seafood, it wouldn't be the case.

"Toffee does have a habit of drinking, plum wine, but it's fine normally. She also drinks bird's nest from time to time, but she only drinks a little before going to bed at night."

"When did she order the plum wine today?"

"morning!"

Li Xier remembered that when Concubine Li spoke to her in the morning, she faintly smelled a hint of wine, and she thought it was the scent of a ripe durian!
"Can you please bring me that plum wine?"

Yinan looked at Zong Momo, and Zong Momo nodded to her.

Looking at Li Xier with suspicion,
"You said you didn't poison me. How come you know so much about pharmacology?"

"Zong Momo, my father is a barefoot itinerant doctor. I believe you have asked about it, right?"

Zong Momo choked and said, "Humph! If you can't find out, I'll settle the score with you!"

Li Xier ignored her threat. When Yinan brought out the plum wine, she scooped a little bit into the cup and took a sip.

This is not ordinary plum wine, the concentration of this wine is comparable to that of white wine!
"Yinan, does the Toffee drink on an empty stomach?"

"Well, Yinan also reminded the Concubine, but she didn't take it seriously, saying that it had always been like this before, and it would be fine if she drank less!"

"Doctor Hu, have you noticed anything?"

Doctor Hu watched her drinking and was thinking after hearing Yinan's answer. He was thinking about the relationship between wine and durian.

"Is there something wrong with this wine?"

"No, the wine is good, Doctor Hu, according to the properties of wine, it is cold! If you drink a moderate amount, it can clear away heat and detoxify, relax muscles and activate blood circulation, but..."

"But the stinky fruit is hot in nature, could it be that it is incompatible with the fruit?" Doctor Hu was enlightened by her!

"Well, I think there is a reason for this. In addition, Taifei ate seafood, beef and mutton, and a lot of stinky fruit. Seafood is also cold in nature, and beef and mutton are hot in nature. The alternation of cold and heat counteracts each other in the stomach and intestines!"

"Then her rash..."

"This is an allergy to a certain ingredient. The allergy plus the fire reaction plus the conflicting effects caused the nosebleed, rashes all over the body, edema, nausea and vomiting. Toffee may be allergic to a certain ingredient in the seafood!"

"Well, what Miss Xi'er said makes sense. The red rash all over the concubine's body is urticaria, which is a manifestation of allergy! It's not poisoning!"

He was not sure just now, and he naturally had a preconceived idea and only asked the Toffee whether he had eaten the stinky fruit again. Old people have weak stomachs and are prone to food accumulation!

But how can indigestion produce a reaction similar to poisoning? Is it possible that stinky fruits have their own toxins that have not been discovered before?
It turned out that Toffee had eaten other incompatible foods. It was his mistake! "Allergic to seafood? Could it be shrimp?" Yinan murmured.

"Toffee didn't have a good appetite today. Yinan remembered that she only ate a few bites of shrimp cocktail."

After finding out the root cause of the problem, the matter was handed over to Doctor Hu.

Relieving itching and swelling is the primary priority, anti-allergic ointments can be applied externally, anti-allergic drugs can be taken internally, and medicines that are beneficial to the intestines can be used!
Li Xier thought about it and realized that being allergic to shrimp and seafood was essentially an allergy to foreign proteins. "Zong Momo, the Concubine must not eat shrimp, crab, shellfish, snails and other seafood in the future to avoid an allergic reaction again!"

"Another thing is, after eating the stinking fruit, don't drink alcohol, or eat beef, mutton, milk, shrimp, etc. immediately. Eating these together with the stinking fruit will cause a toxic reaction!"

"Okay, got it!"

So that's how it is. This is really unfair to her. Zong Momo feels a little embarrassed now.

Zong Momo: “That…”

Li Xier knew she was embarrassed and waved her sleeves:
"It's okay, Zong Momo, you were just worried about the Concubine just now, you were too anxious, the Concubine is so lucky to have someone like you serving her!"

"Then Concubine Li, you should take good care of yourself and rest. Don't worry. Just take the medicine and you will be fine in two days. Zong Momo, now that I have found the cause, I will return to Zuiyue Pavilion. If there is any problem, you can ask Yinan to notify me!"

"..."

Doctor Hu was actually a little curious about her. How did she know which foods would conflict with the stinky fruit?

He secretly memorized all the incompatible ingredients she mentioned just now. This was medical knowledge worth remembering.

He opened his mouth but found himself unable to speak. He had not determined the cause of the disease just now. It was his lack of medical experience and ignorance that almost led to her taking the blame.

Zi Su Hong Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Xier had returned to Zui Yue Pavilion safely.

"Master, is the Concubine all right?"

"Well, I found the cause. It's an allergy to cocktail shrimp. After taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Hu, I should be fine in two days!"

"That's good. You really scared me to death!" Zi Su patted her chest.

Thinking that the food she had just cooked had not been finished yet, Li Xier took the two little girls with flour on their faces to the kitchen to bake pizza.

After taking the pizza test, she didn't see anyone when she came back. The concubine was probably sick and went to find Feng Qingcheng.

She changed her clothes and dressed like she used to, took some cooled durian pizza and durian pastry and went to her godmother's house alone.

I arrived at the alley where I had brought my godmother last time. I knocked on the door, but no one opened it for a long time. I looked inside the crack of the door, but there was no one there. "Godmother, godmother, are you home?"

After calling twice, still no one answered. She felt a little strange. Why was the door open when she was not at home?

I gently pushed open the door and walked into the yard. I saw clothes hanging on a rope in the middle of the yard. I touched it and it was not dry yet. It must have been washed not long ago.

The ground in the yard was swept very clean. There were some small vegetables planted against the wall, such as garlic sprouts, onions, chili seedlings, etc. My godmother is a hardworking person!

But she was nowhere to be seen outside and the door of the house was wide open. She called out a few times and walked in, and then she found something was wrong!
The room was in a mess! There was a woman lying on the ground in front of us, her life or death unknown!

"Godmother!" Li Xier called out urgently and ran over to help the person who had fallen to the ground. "Godmother, wake up, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Li Xier called out a few times, pinched her philtrum with her hand, and gently patted her cheek, which was a little hot, "Godmother, what's wrong with you?"

The woman woke up slowly, and looked at the young man in front of her with tired eyes, a little confused!

As if he suddenly remembered something, he held her wrist with a hint of surprise: "Xiao Xi! You are here to see your godmother!"
