Safflower is a traditional Chinese medicine, its main function is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but it is really taboo for pregnant women. In "Hougong Empress", Duan Fei brought a bowl of "abortion medicine" to Hua Fei when she was young. Huafei had no children after drinking, so he hated Duan Fei. After Duan Fei got pregnant, he gave Duan Fei a bowl of safflower, which made Duan Fei unable to get pregnant. Alas, the emperor is the most scheming person among the concubines in the palace.
Second, musk.
Musk comes from Shennong Herbal Classic, which has the effect of waking up. Musk is generally harvested artificially, hunted in winter and spring, and then cut off the musk sac to dry in the shade, which is called "hairy shell musk"; When the secretion in the sachet is taken out, it becomes a "sachet kernel". Musk is pungent and warm, and is often used for inducing resuscitation, promoting blood circulation, dredging menstruation, relieving pain and inducing labor. Because musk is very fragrant, it can run out of breath, promote blood circulation and dredge menstruation, and give birth to a baby, so pregnant women are forbidden, which may also lead to miscarriage.
In the TV series, Ling Rong gave Zhen Xuan a bottle of Shuhen glue, telling him that this medicine has excellent scar removal effect, but secretly put a lot of musk in this ointment, which will definitely hurt the fetus in the abdomen if pregnant women use it for a long time; In addition, in order to prevent Nian Shi's consanguinity from becoming too powerful, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager added a lot of musk to Huan Yixiang, resulting in her lifelong infertility.
But now it is difficult to find real natural musk, and those synthetic musk are not so strong. If it is some chemicals with musk smell, such as musk perfume, it has no effect on pregnant women's abortion at all. However, if the external application medicine made of musk is absorbed through the skin, it may also lead to abortion.
Third, oleander
To tell the truth, the name and shape of oleander are really pleasing, but it is very toxic. It contains a variety of toxins, even fatal, and its toxicity has a great impact on heart function. The juice of oleander has the highest toxic concentration, which can cause skin paralysis.
In the play, Qi Fei gave Zhen Xuan a cake mixed with oleander. The doctor said that Zhen Xuan drank Guizhi decoction, and oleander and cassia twig would cause miscarriage.
Fourth, bitter almond.
Used for cough and asthma, chest fullness and phlegm, blood deficiency and body fluid deficiency, intestinal dryness and constipation. But it is also poisonous. If you eat too much, you will be poisoned; if you eat too little, you will clear away heat.
One of the plots in the play is that when An Lingrong was put into limbo, Zhen Xuan came to see her, eating bitter almonds while talking to Zhen Xuan, and finally died. Although An Lingrong is sad, betraying his friends is really unacceptable.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) crane top red
Since ancient times, the "Red-crowned Crane's Top Red" on the head of the red-crowned crane is often regarded as a highly toxic substance, which is called "Red-crowned Crane" or "erysipelas". Once imported, people will die, and it is hopeless. It is said that when the emperor executed the minister, he put erysipelas into the wine. Ministers also put "He Ding Hong" in a Buddha's bead to take it to commit suicide in an emergency. In martial arts novels, Wulin people often use this toxic substance to show their superb poisoning skills.
Although we often hear flamingo in TV series, the name is abstract after all. In fact, it is the "famous" arsenic! I don't know why the ancients gave it such a poetic name.
The little maid who cut autumn in the play was mad when she saw the queen locked up. She asked eunuch Jiang Fuhai to put some poison under her nails and put it in the soup of the Liu brothers. As a result, the unlucky Meng Jingxian took a sip and sprayed blood.
Croton
I believe everyone is no stranger to croton, after all, the appearance rate in film and television dramas is very high. You will often see croton in some plays, and then those unfortunate enough to eat it will start running to the toilet-and these unfortunate people are often very small.
Seven, see blood to seal the throat
Blood-sealing throat, also known as "poison arrow wood" and "scissors tree", is an endangered plant under national key protection and one of the most poisonous plant species in the world. Listening to this name is also domineering.
Its juice is milky white and highly toxic. Once the juice enters the blood through the wound, it is life-threatening. The ancients often painted it on an arrow to shoot wild animals or enemies. Basically, an arrow was fatal.
Eight, poison
Among the ancient poisons in China, the most famous one should be "zhenniao", from which the idiom "drinking zhenniao to quench your thirst" came. Robin is a legendary poisonous bird. Its feathers are highly toxic, and when soaked in wine, it becomes an owl. The drinker bleeds to death, which is often used to give death. Silver carp may be the only more humane form of torture.
Nine, Desmodium styracifolium
Kidney tea is a kind of poison with high occurrence rate in costume dramas. It doesn't mean a fixed poison. According to records, kidney tea is at least 10 the name of many kinds of Chinese herbal medicines or plants.
In ancient times, people often called herbs that could have strong gastrointestinal side effects on human body. After eating, the intestines will turn black and stick together, and people will die of abdominal pain. The general detoxification method is gastric lavage, taking charcoal ash, and then using alkaline water and emetic. Taking mung beans, honeysuckle and licorice after gastric lavage can detoxify.
Semen Strychni
Momordica cochinchinensis, also known as Semen Strychni, recorded in "Herbal Shu Shu": "People with weak qi and blood and spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should not use it." The initial symptoms of poisoning are headache and dizziness, followed by stiff neck and whole body tension. In severe cases, pupils will be dilated, and arrhythmia will lead to circulatory failure and death. Li Yu, queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, died of this poison.
