The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 639: Searching for the Antidote
Lady Wu shouted sharply at the guards, "Go find the antidote again. Search carefully on the bodies of the Twin Evils of Lingnan, strip them bare, don’t leave even a strand of hair unchecked."
"Also, have someone find a herb called Red-backed Bamboo Grass. Hurry, it will be too late if it’s delayed!"
Outside, Ah Yun quickly instructed the guards to carry out the orders.
Yun Jiao suddenly stood up and ran outside, "I’ll be right back."
She ran outside, instructed Ah Yun at the door: "Quickly go to the kitchen and get a burning charcoal stove to the main courtyard. I need it immediately, run!"
Ah Yun used Qinggong and dashed off.
She exited through the back gate of the main courtyard, ran back to her own courtyard, and instructed Hui Xiang who had run back with her, "Find a clean medicine pot and bring it to the main courtyard. I need it right away!"
Hui Xiang hurried off to find a medicine pot.
Yun Jiao returned to her room, closed the door, and entered the pharmacy.
The blood-sealing poison paralyzes the heart, and Lord Jiang’s heartbeat has already slowed significantly. If this continues, his heartbeat will stop.
Modern medical treatment for such bradycardia involves injecting atropine. Atropine can relieve muscle and vascular spasms, speeding up the heartbeat.
Atropine is extracted from plants like the Mandala Flower.
The Mandala Flower is a main ingredient in anesthesia making, and Yun Jiao has made quite a bit of anesthesia since coming here; she has Mandala Flowers in her medicine storage.
Upon entering the pharmacy, Yun Jiao quickly found the Mandala Flowers, measured the dosage, wrapped it in paper, and came out.
Yun Jiao didn’t know how long Lord Jiang had been poisoned, but with this poison, one could live for only about two hours—sometimes just twenty minutes, and they’re gone, hence she is now racing against death, everything needs to be fast.
She quickly ran out from the courtyard and saw Hui Xiang walking briskly ahead with a medicine pot.
Seeing her mistress run past her, Hui Xiang started running too.
The two of them breathlessly ran into the main courtyard.
At this moment, Ah Yun came in with a burning charcoal stove in his arms.
Yun Jiao had Hui Xiang fill half a pot with water, then put most of the Mandala Flowers wrapped in paper into it, "Fan the stove to make the fire bigger. Boil the juice quickly."
At this point, Lord Jiang’s heartbeat was slowing more and more. Lying on the bed, still conscious, he saw Yun Jiao approaching and slowly uttered two words, "Dizzy—"
Yun Jiao had previously asked him if he was dizzy; he hadn’t felt it then, but now his head was spinning terribly.
Yun Jiao nodded, as it was due to bradycardia causing insufficient blood supply to the brain.
She took out some dried Mandala Flowers, fed them into Lord Jiang’s mouth, "Chew hard, swallow after the juice comes out."
Jiang Zhongxing was already very weak at this moment, the slow heartbeat causing the blood flow throughout his body to slow down, even making chewing difficult.
He mustered all his strength to chew what was in his mouth.
Beside him, Lady Wu desperately pushed the medicine into Jiang Zhongxing’s mouth, agitated, "Is this the Red-backed Bamboo Grass?"
Yun Jiao opened her hand, "Mandala Flower."
Lady Wu saw clearly the thing in Yun Jiao’s hand, both disappointment and despair flooding over her.
It wasn’t the Red-backed Bamboo Grass she had seen before—it looked like a dried-up flower.
She had heard from her master that Red-backed Bamboo Grass was the only antidote to the blood-sealing poison; without it, there’s nothing in the world that can cure the poison.
Nonetheless, Lady Wu said nothing. She knew Yun Jiao’s medical skill well, and if there’s anyone in this world who could save her husband without the Red-backed Bamboo Grass, it must be Yun Jiao.
Her medical skill truly far exceeds that of any doctor she has ever seen.
Besides, she had no other alternative but to put her hope in Yun Jiao.
