Chapter 6: Detoxification

Doctor Liu returned to his room, the book he read last night was still on the table and had not been touched, he sat down and opened the book and began to look for it seriously.

If he remembered correctly, the pre-plague symptoms were exactly the same as those he had seen last night?

Two hours later, he finally found the warm poison recorded in the thick book.

Those who are warm and poisonous, the temperature is like the sun at the beginning, the poison comes out from the inside, the surface is hot inside and outside, and the temperature is as usual, the red spots appear, and the color is getting black. "That's right! That's right! Not the plague! It's poisoned! ”

He couldn't wait to continue reading, and sure enough, there was an antidote, but the book was old, and the handwriting on it was blurred, and then someone outside knocked on the door a few times and said loudly: "Doctor Liu!" Lord Xuan's high fever has subsided! But... But there are a lot of red spots on the adult's body, so go and take a look! ”

"You go first, I'll be right away!" After saying that, I quickly packed up my things and rushed over.

After he passed, he went directly into Master Xuan's house, and the people were shocked when they saw this, Imperial Doctor Liu actually came in without a face towel, if even he was infected, how could he get it.

"Doctor Liu, face towel!"

"It's okay, Lord Xuan is not infected with the plague, but poisoned, so he won't be infected."

"Poisoned?" Everyone spoke in unison, obviously looking a little unconvinced.

Suddenly, someone outside hurriedly ran in, panting and said, "Imperial Doctor Liu, the little one interrogated all the people here according to your instructions, but they all said that no one had brought water to Master Xuan, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not meet our people!" ”

"I see, you go down first."

"Is that man going to keep looking?"

"Yes, you must find it." That person's purpose was obviously His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and if he didn't find out, the Prince's life might be in danger.

He walked to the side of the bed, bent down and took Master Xuan's hand out of the quilt, and found that there were indeed many large and small red spots on his hands, and some of them had begun to turn black.

"Hurry up and find some eggs, the more the better."

"Yes."

Jun Lin asked puzzledly, "Doctor Liu, what are you looking for eggs for?" ”

"Back to the prince, although the minister is sure that Lord Xuan is poisoned, the handwriting of the antidote method recorded in the book has been blurred, and there is a blind medicine among them, and the minister really can't see why, so he has to control Lord Xuan's red spots first."

"I see, then Lord Xuan will be fine, right?"

"Control the red spot and prevent it from changing color, if the minister can find the antidote in three days, he can save Lord Xuan."

King's Landing suddenly took two steps back, his face pale. "Do you mean that if you can't find an antidote within three days, then Master Xuan will definitely die?"

"The minister will definitely develop an antidote as soon as possible."

After a while, someone found a large box of eggs, some of which were crushed underneath, and the egg whites flowed out of the cracks in the frame.

Imperial Physician Liu picked up an egg, tapped it lightly from one end, then peeled off the shell and applied the egg white to Master Xuan's hand.

"Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to avoid it first."

King's Landing glanced at the man lying on the bed and withdrew with red eyes.

"Come two people, help take off Lord Xuan's clothes, and then apply egg whites to the red spots on Lord Xuan's body like I did."

"Yes."

Several people were skeptical of Imperial Physician Liu's words, and they were still a little worried about being infected with the plague, but seeing that Imperial Physician Liu was not afraid, they didn't care about anything and surrounded them.

It took about half a column of incense time, and several people finally finished applying the large and small red spots on Master Xuan's body.

"You leave two people to guard Lord Xuan, and if there is anything unusual, immediately send one person to inform me, and the other people will go and find all the doctors in Yufeng County."

"Imperial Doctor Liu, where is there a doctor here, they are all dyed... They were all poisoned, and I heard from the people here that they were infected at first... Those who are poisoned are basically those who practice medicine. ”

"Okay, I know, I'm going to go to the pharmacy to test the medicine now, and everyone's diet will be checked from today onwards, especially His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Yes."

Imperial Physician Liu returned to the room and wrote down the prescription for detoxification on paper with a pen, raw rehmannia root, rhino horn, honeysuckle, comfrey, ginseng, danpi, red peony, so what is the last medicine?

In the next two days, he added everything that could be used as a guide with these drugs and tried it, but Master Xuan did not get better after drinking it.

"Doctor Liu, have you tried out what the last medicine is?" King's Landing was worried about Lord Xuan's situation, so he wanted to come to the pharmacy to see how it was going, but as soon as he entered, a large smell of medicine rushed into his nose, stabbing him and quickly covering his nose.

Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly got up and opened all the windows, and the smell of the medicine slowly dissipated, and King's Landing saw that his brows were tightly locked, thinking that he hadn't tried out what the last smell of medicine was.

In the past two days, dozens of people have died because of poisoning, and the person who poisoned him is still continuing to commit murder, and many people are killed every day.

"Alas, it's the old minister who is incompetent."

"Imperial Doctor Liu, don't say that, this palace believes in you, so many people are still waiting for you to save your life!"

As the two were talking, seven or eight people walked over at the door one after another, each holding a pot of purple flowers in their hands, and the person in front of them said loudly: "Be careful with me, if you break the flowers that the little lady wants to see, you will feel better." ”

They had been here for so long, and they had never heard him say that he had a daughter, so King's Landing stopped them with some curiosity.

When everyone saw that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came out of the pharmacy, they quickly stopped and saluted. "See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"All of them are exempt, what are you going to do with these flowers?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, my little lady got up early this morning and didn't know why, she had to see the purple orchids, but where to find the orchids at this time, let alone the purple ones, the county magistrates had no choice but to ask the little ones to find some purple flowers."

"The little lady in your mouth is a person? This palace has been here for a month and a half, and I have never heard the county lord mention that he has a daughter? ”

"It's... This..."The person who took the lead didn't know how to speak for a long time, and he couldn't say that it was his family that the adults heard that the prince was seventeen years old this year and didn't have a princess, so he was afraid that His Royal Highness the prince would take a fancy to their little lady and bring her back to Beijing.

Imperial Physician Liu looked at the flowers in their hands and walked over to take a closer look. "What your little lady wants to see is an orchid, although the flowers of this skullcap are purple, but there is no fragrance of orchids, your little lady is afraid that she will be more angry when she sees it."

"Hey, isn't there no way to do it, His Royal Highness the Prince, Imperial Doctor Liu, the little ones will retire first."

"Go ahead."

Rehmannia root, rhino horn, honeysuckle, comfrey, ginseng, danpi, red peony, if this last medicine is Huang Cen, thinking of this, Imperial Doctor Liu immediately turned back to the pharmacy, and King Landing also followed when he saw this.

"One and a half of raw rehmannia root, three coins of rhino horn, two taels of honeysuckle, six coins of comfrey, one and a half halves of ginseng, eight coins of danpi, five coins of red peony, and then three taels of shuangcen!"

He personally guarded this medicine, until after the decoction he asked someone to bring the medicine to Lord Xuan, success or failure in this move, if the drink is still ineffective, then he can only report the matter to the emperor, let the emperor call the people to seek a doctor, his name as the first imperial doctor in the palace is also afraid to change hands.

However, until the next morning, Xuanda, who had drunk the medicine, still did not wake up, and eighteen people died that night.

"Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send a letter on this matter back to Beijing and send it to the emperor."

"That's all there is to it. But Imperial Doctor Liu, don't worry, your father will not blame you. ”

Just after the letter was sent, someone came to report that the red spots on Lord Xuan's body had begun to subside, and Imperial Physician Liu rushed over excitedly when he heard it, and he checked the pulse of Lord Xuan, and found that there was no sign of poisoning!

"Doctor Liu, how is Master Xuan?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Xuan... It's okay! The red spots on his body are slowly disappearing, and they will return to normal in less than two days. ”

"That's true!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the top priority is to detoxify the poisoned people as soon as possible, and the minister immediately sent someone to decoct the medicine, and then sent it to them to detoxify."

"Good! All right! Imperial Physician Liu deserves to be the first imperial doctor in the palace! When I go back, I will definitely tell my father that I will be rewarded! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised falsely, this is the duty of the minister, and the minister retired first."

"Haha, let's go, the palace will also go and send another letter to my father."

As Doctor Liu said, after two days, Lord Xuan returned to normal, and the poisoned people slowly got better after drinking the medicine.

The people knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. "Thank you, Doctor Liu! Thank you, Your Highness the Prince! ”

"Everyone, let's go home and rest, your health is important, you are all my people in Nanyuan, and it is my duty to solve problems for the people." King's Landing had never felt so happy since he was a child, and for the first time, he felt that the name of the prince was meaningful, as he watched the people cheer as they had been detoxified.

After Jun Ye received the letter, Long Yan was furious, he thought it was a natural disaster, but he didn't expect it to be a man-made disaster, this poisoned person is smart, in different time periods, people mistakenly think that it is caused by infection, so they naturally think that it is a plague infection.

After calming down his anger, he immediately drafted a holy decree to seek a doctor, but before the holy decree could be issued, he received a second letter from King's Landing, saying that Imperial Physician Liu had researched an antidote.

The matter was settled, and King's Landing planned to return to Beijing immediately, and when he left, the magistrate took the people of Yufeng County to see him off.

Master Xuan saw that there was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl beside Zhixian, who looked very watery, and there was a small pear vortex on her right cheek when she laughed. "Whose child is that little girl? How I haven't seen it. ”

Although I hadn't seen her, Imperial Physician Liu already knew who she was, so he smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

King's Landing and Imperial Physician Liu looked at each other and smiled, and then they each got into the carriage.

On the way back to Beijing, King's Landing felt bored alone and went to ride in the same carriage with the two adults.

"Fortunately, this time there is Imperial Doctor Liu, otherwise how could it be solved so quickly."

"Hahaha, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that the minister's old life is also thanks to Imperial Doctor Liu to pick it up, although I can't forget the disgusting smell of egg whites until now, but if I didn't have that life extension talisman, I'm afraid I would have gone to see the king of Hades a long time ago."

"Master Xuan is serious."

"Yes, this palace also wants to thank Lord Xuan, if it weren't for Lord Xuan, I'm afraid that this palace will ......"

"Oh, do a lot of things when you say these things, say something happy, the emperor will definitely reward us well when I go back this time." There was a pause. "It's a pity that we couldn't find out the real murderer who poisoned him, I hope the magistrate can arrest him."

"yes."
