Chapter 318 Impossible

When Huo Jingnan returned to the Hou Mansion, he went directly to the study, but Anle Hou hadn't woken up yet.

Huo Jingnan woke him up simply and roughly.

An Lehou slowly opened her eyes, and just as she was about to speak, she began to feel something was wrong all over her body, yawning, crying and shaking.

"Father, your current appearance is exactly the same as the symptoms of taking opium. I suspect that you have eaten opium by mistake." Huo Jingnan said lightly.

When Anlehou heard this, he immediately yelled angrily: "You are talking nonsense, how could I smoke aphrodisiac? I..."

Anlehou's voice became softer and softer because he remembered that he had read the manual issued by the Hanlin Academy, and the symptoms recorded in it were exactly the same as his.

Thinking of the appearance of the three death row prisoners he saw in the court that day, and the laws promulgated by the emperor, and the serious consequences of smoking aphrodisiac, Anlehou squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. The physical discomfort and mental torture made him Almost collapsed, "How could this happen? I obviously didn't smoke that stuff, so why am I addicted? What should I do?"

Seeing that he had regained some sense, Huo Jingnan said: "As for the reason, I don't know for the time being. I need to wait for the investigation to find out. But you must stop acting like this now. Otherwise, not only you, but also the entire Hou Mansion will fall." A place of eternal destruction.”

There was a trace of confusion on An Lehou's face: "Quit? How can I quit?"

"I'll accompany you to find Chen'er and Princess Huguo. They will definitely come up with something." Huo Jingnan said calmly.

"Yes, yes, go find Chen'er and Princess Huguo. Come on, accompany me to find them now." An Lehou stood up unsteadily and urged.

"Yes."

Huo Jingnan helped Anlehou get into the sedan that had been prepared long ago, and then got into the carriage and went directly to the north of the city.

An Lehou was worthy of being a man with a military background. He could endure what ordinary people could not endure. Even though his whole body felt extremely uncomfortable and he was in a state of utter disarray, he just clenched his fists and endured it.

When he arrived at the house in the north of the city, Anlehou's face was as pale as paper, his face was covered with tears and snot, and he was soaked to the skin.

Huo Jingnan helped him get off the carriage.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen walked out of the room.

Shen Jia could tell at a glance that Anle Hou was really addicted, and hurriedly ordered: "Uncle, help Mr. Hou to the bed in the bedroom inside."

An Lehou glanced at Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen, and lay on the bed obediently without asking any questions.

Addiction mainly affects people in two parts. One is physical dependence, also called "body addiction", which manifests as withdrawal symptoms; the other is psychological dependence, also called "heart addiction", which is persistent craving.

Acupuncture has a great effect on body addiction. It has two-way benign regulation, enhances the immune function of addicts, and plays a role in balancing yin and yang.

Shen Jia took out the silver needle from the acupuncture bag and inserted the needle at the acupoints such as Hegu, Zusanli, Neiguan, Sanyinjiao, Baihui... in Anlehou. He twisted and lifted the needle skillfully. At Anlehou, there was soreness, numbness and swelling. When you feel it, leave the needle in for another quarter of an hour, and then twist, lift and insert it again every half-quarter of an hour.

Xiao Yichen took the handkerchief and gently helped Shen Jia wipe the thin sweat on his forehead.

The acupuncture was completed after more than half an hour.

An Lehou had already fallen asleep, and Xiao Yichen left a boy to guard him. They went to the living room outside, and Huo Jingnan asked in a low voice: "Xiaojia, does my father need any medicine?"

Shen Jia sat down and took a sip of tea, "Yes, after the aphrodisiac smoked by Mr. Hou enters the human body, it will deplete the yin energy of the spleen and kidneys, causing yin and yang imbalance, loss of heart and blood; causing internal dampness and turbidity, blocking all pathways in the body, and then Blocking the heart orifices will eventually damage the brain, so various dysfunctions will occur. If you want to quit, you must adjust the yin and yang and open the heart orifices. "

When Xiao Yichen heard this, he disappeared with a whoosh. After a moment, he brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After laying out the paper, he started grinding the ink. His movements were careful and thoughtful, like flowing water. He obviously did this often.

Huo Jingnan was blinded by Xiao Yichen's coquettish maneuvers. Who would have thought that the grandson of the emperor of a country would look like this in front of his beloved woman.

Shen Jia picked up the brush and swiped it a few times before writing the prescription, "Take this prescription to the pharmacy and boil it into one bowl of water. Take it once in the morning and evening."

Huo Jingnan took the prescription and said, "Thank you, Xiaojia."

Shen Jia nodded: "Uncle, there is no need to be polite. But I have to remind you that even if you give him acupuncture and take medicine, you still can't be careless today and tomorrow. You have to send two confidants to guard him for twelve hours. If he commits self-harm, Then tie him up."

"I will personally lead people to stay here until he recovers." Huo Jingnan thought for a moment and said.

"Uncle, don't worry too much. I will come over and give him acupuncture every day. With Master Hou's will, he will be able to get rid of the drug in half a month at most."

"Thank you, Xiaojia."

"Uncle, you're welcome."

Shen Jia told him some more precautions until the boy came out and said that An Lehou was awake, and the three of them went to the bedroom together.

Anlehou seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, his eyes were dull, his expression was listless and haggard. When I saw them coming in, a glimmer of light flashed in my eyes, my lips moved, and it took me a long time to say: "I obviously didn't smoke opium, why did it happen like this?"

Shen Jia remembered that afurong had medicinal effects, and Hua Tuo used cannabis and afurong as an anesthetic in his previous life, so he said: "Afurong also has sedative, antidiarrheal, analgesic, and hypnotic effects, but at the beginning it was... Nausea and vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, blurred vision, and even anxiety. Think carefully about when did your body start to feel different from usual?”

An Lehou fell into deep thought. After a while, his eyes widened in disbelief, emotions rolling in his eyes, and he murmured: "Is it her? No, it's impossible!"

"Who is it?" Xiao Yichen asked deliberately.

An Lehou glanced at Xiao Yichen and others with complicated eyes, as if there was something unspeakable.

Huo Jingnan took a deep breath and urged, "Father, please speak up! We've already reached this point, there's nothing we can't say."

An Lehou took a deep breath and said slowly: "Ms. Liang."

Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Can you tell us about the situation at that time?"

An Lehou's face was a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Shen Jia and saw that she was standing there openly, and Xiao Yichen had no intention of letting her out. He thought about the seriousness of this matter.

Then he said: "Last year, after I brought Mrs. Liang back from northern Xinjiang, I stayed at her place for a long time. A few days ago, I had a severe headache, and the imperial doctor prescribed medicine but it didn't get better. Mrs. Liang saw that I was in unbearable pain, so she She gave me a small pill, which she said was a painkiller elixir left for her by her master. I didn’t think much about taking it and ate it. After taking it, the pain in my head soon stopped.

But I had mild dizziness, nausea and vomiting, and other symptoms that the princess said. Later, she gave me one of those pills every once in a while. Gradually, I felt like a young boy after taking the pills. …”

An Lehou didn't say anything else, everyone understood.
