Chapter 150 Control Variables and Rabbit Experiments

Not long after, Huang Chongde came back with someone.Seeing him walking quickly from outside the hall, many people realized that he had left the hall.

He walked up to Bai Yi and asked a few words in a low voice. Everyone saw Bai Yi nodding repeatedly, and then said a few words of advice to Huang Chongde.After Huang Chongde also nodded in agreement, he waved and ordered the four guards to bring in a crooked wooden frame.

Rabbits are most likely to be frightened and feign death, so today the wooden frame is also covered with a black cloth.

After the four guards put down the wooden frame carefully, they each untied a corner and uncovered the black cloth—a low exclamation sounded from all around.

At a glance, the cage was full of spotless white rabbits, forty or fifty in number.

"Is this to... offering auspiciousness?"

The imperial physicians murmured, for a moment they didn't know what kind of medicine Bai Yi was selling in the gourd.

Bai Yi looked at his father, and Bai Shijun wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked out with fists clenched, and knelt down in the hall, "Please move to the rabbit cage for a closer look, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jianxi frowned slightly, and his gaze never moved away from the cage full of white rabbits.He raised his hand, and Qiu Shi at the side stepped forward to support his forearm, and helped the emperor slowly walk down the steps in front of the throne.

When everyone's eyes were on Bai Shijun and Emperor Jianxi, several guards had already opened the cage, and took out a total of eight white rabbits from different compartments according to Bai Yi's instructions.Then he followed Bai Yi, walked towards the side hall connected to the main hall, and silently withdrew from everyone's sight.

Bai Ling immediately asked the imperial concubine to step back temporarily to see what Bai Yi was doing there.

The imperial concubine nodded, and her eyes were also fixed on Bai Shijun and the rabbit cage.

"Your Majesty, please see."

Bai Shijun invited Emperor Jianxi to come forward and saw paper signs pasted on each compartment of the four-story rabbit cages.Emperor Jianxi looked carefully, and saw the words "normal control", "low dose", "medium dose"...etc written on it.

Everyone from the Tai Hospital also gathered around.

Bai Shijun took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "In order to evaluate the toxicity of Gongzhong Xiaoer Zhibao Pill, understand the changes in toxicity and further intervention methods, Bai Yi suggested that we can use rabbit experiments to verify— —”

Wang Jixuan jumped up almost immediately, "Absurd!! Absurd!! How can the medicine used by humans be used on rabbits!! This is clearly—"

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Jianxi had already looked back at him in disgust, and Wang Jixuan's voice died down in an instant.

"Go on." Emperor Jianxi bent slightly, leaning over to look at the rabbits in the cage.

"We set up a control group and four experimental groups." Bai Shijun stepped forward, pointed out the compartments with different labels, and signaled to the emperor, "The rabbits in the normal control group do not do anything except water and food." Treatment; the low-dose group, the middle-dose group, and the high-dose group will all be feeding a part of ground Xiaoer Zhibao pill powder in addition to the normal diet.

"These four experimental groups can be divided into two groups. One group is fed with Xiaoer Zhibao pills purchased from folks. Because mercury is expensive, these pills generally do not contain mercury, and the other group is fed with new intrauterine drugs. Medicines—the emperor knows that the pharmaceutical bureau in our palace never skimps on raw materials.

"So after comparing the intrauterine experimental group, the extrauterine experimental group and the normal control group, we can see some clues."

Bai Shijun reached out and took down a notebook hanging on the edge of the wooden shelf, opened the front page, and said softly, "The white rabbit in the intrauterine medicine group started to have diarrhea after taking Xiaoer Zhibao Pill for seven to fourteen hours. , less food intake, unresponsiveness and other symptoms, after [-] hours of exposure to the poison, it becomes irritable, aggressive, and secretions increase. And these symptoms, the higher the dose, the more serious it will be."

With that said, Bai Shijun stepped forward again, motioning everyone to look at the small print on the labels on the cages.

"At the same time, here is also a record of the weight changes of the rabbits in each cage in the past few days. Compared with the time when they first entered the Taiyuan Hospital, the weight of the white rabbits in the intrauterine medicine group generally dropped by [-] to [-], but it was normal. This was not observed for the control group and the extrauterine drug group..."

Emperor Jianxi took the record book in Bai Shijun's hand, and carefully considered every word.

Before he could, he looked at Bai Shijun, "Why is there only one rabbit in the high-dose group of intrauterine medicine?"

Bai Shijun stepped forward with a sullen expression, stretched out his hand and turned the notebook in Emperor Jianxi's hand to the back, and said in a low voice, "Return to the emperor, one of the rabbits in the high-dose group died last night and this morning. ..."

"emperor!"

Concubine Ning on the screen couldn't listen any more, and she walked out with her skirt in her hand. Her eyes were full of shock and anger, "Please adjust the little prince's daily life note last month!"

The sound was almost like a thunderclap.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Wang Jixuan was already sweating and knelt on the ground at this moment, "Please Your Majesty—"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Concubine Ning's eyes sparkled, "Ever since A Tuo started taking Xiaoer Zhibao Pills last month because of crying at night, he has gradually been unable to eat, and has frequent diarrhea and yellowing! Others are a little coaxing I couldn't stop crying when I teased him. Fortunately, Bengong listened to Bai Yi's advice and stopped all the medicines to soothe the little prince. Otherwise, I'm afraid that my A Tuo... my A Tuo will soon be like this caged... It died like a rabbit!!"

Concubine Ning hadn't finished speaking when Zheng Shu exclaimed from behind the screen, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

——Qu Shi fainted on the spot.

Concubine Ning's eyes were slightly red, and she stood there in a daze, only then remembered these things about A Tuo, which she had kept from telling Qu Shi.

The whole hall was in chaos, everyone rushed to lift Qu Shi up, and sent her to a ventilated place to comfort and rest. Several imperial doctors took orders on the spot, and followed the imperial concubine back to Chengqian Palace to comfort and treat her.

……

When the confrontation outside was in full swing, Bai Ling stood by the door and looked at Bai Yi without saying a word.He was standing intently in front of a wooden table that reached to his waist, and he didn't notice Bo Ling's gaze at all.

Eight white rabbits were tied hands and feet and placed in front of him one by one.

With one hand, Bai Yi gently stroked the white rabbit's forehead to calm him down, while in the other hand he held a sharp lancet.His movements were extremely fast, without delay, after the white rabbit struggled for a moment, all four feet kicked stiffly in the air.

The dead rabbit was fixed on a wooden board lying on its back. Bai Yi cut off the hair on the rabbit's chest and abdomen. The incision was inserted between the third and fourth ribs, and the rabbit's heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and small intestine.

"Put these on plate number one." Bai Yi whispered, "Mark 'normal control group'."

The guards on the side held plates and pens and looked at him as if they were listening to heavenly scriptures, "...what?"

Bo Ling stepped forward and took the pen and paper from the guard's hand, "I'll do it."

　Because of the needs of the plot, there are two magical changes to the medical facts in this paragraph_(:з」∠)_
　　The tribute poisoning experiment of rabbits refers to Shi Xiaoqing’s article "Local and Systemic Toxic Effects of Intramuscular Injection of Metal Mercury in Young Rabbits", but on the one hand, the original article directly injects metal mercury into rabbits; The symptoms of rabbit poisoning change on a weekly basis, and the observation lasted for about a month. However, in the novel, because of the need to end the plot, this section was directly accelerated to "hours" as the observation unit.

　　I also thought about writing according to the normal rhythm, but in that case the plot would be slower, so here I chose to exaggerate the speed of symptoms.

　　In addition to these two places, there may be other mistakes and omissions that I haven't noticed. You are welcome to point out in the comment area. Although the VIP chapter released cannot be modified after 3 days, but if there are similar plots in the future, I will be careful to avoid it. .

　　Finally, thanks to Mr. Qiu Ke for the monthly ticket~Thanks to Ni Yi for the reward~
