Chapter 158 Detoxification
Chapter 158 Detoxification
Manager Yu respectfully led Doctor Mao and Jian Yue into a luxuriously decorated courtyard.
There were a few lanterns hanging in the yard. It wasn't very bright, but I could see the road clearly.
There were shallow breathing sounds in the corners, probably from the guards hiding in the dark. There were eight guards guarding the main door, and Ji Yunzhong was standing at the door to greet them.
"Mr. Mao, Miss Yue." Ji Yunzhong greeted them in a low voice, "The patient's status is special, just treat him and don't say too much." He was talking to Jian Yue. Jian Yue nodded to show that she understood.
Ji Yunzhong led the two into the flower hall. A man in a brocade robe and a silver mask sat in the main seat.
The armchair he sat on was covered with a thick quilt, and the clothes he wore were very loose, making him look skinny. In fact, he was thin and weak, and he didn't even have the strength to sit for a long time. He leaned back in the chair, looked at the person who came in, and just nodded slightly without saying anything.
Ji Yunzhong motioned Jian Yue to come forward and take his pulse.
Jian Yue took out the pulse pillow from the medicine box and placed it on the table. After the masked man placed his wrist on the pulse pillow, Jian Yue took out a handkerchief and covered his wrist. Then he took his pulse.
Masked man: ...Actually, I don’t have such a severe mysophobia.
After checking the pulse, Jian Yue carefully observed the masked man's fingers and said softly: "There is purple color coming through the base of the nails, which is connected to the heart meridian. The poison has already attacked the lungs and will affect his life span."
Ji Yunzhong: "Miss Yue, do you know what kind of poison my friend was infected with?"
Jian Yue: "The poison is called Lian Xin Suo, which is made from a poisonous flower called Devil Lotus in the foggy forest, plus several kinds of poisonous mushroom powder. This poison is a chronic poison. The poisoned person will not die immediately, but will often have hallucinations, slowly lose blood and essence, leading to anorexia, insomnia, and finally death from neurasthenia."
"The most clever thing about this poison is that the silver needle cannot detect the toxicity in the blood. The doctor can only treat it based on the spleen and stomach disharmony and the deficiency of qi and blood."
There was a flash of astonishment in the masked man's eyes.
She said everything right, as if she had seen it herself.
Ji Yunzhong was pleasantly surprised.
It seems that his bet was right, Jian Yue is really capable. He couldn't hide his excitement: "Since you know this poison, you can definitely cure it, right?"
Jian Yue paused and said, "I can, but I don't want to get into trouble." Her words were very clear. She could help to detoxify, but she didn't want to get into trouble. After all, poisons like the Devil Lotus were very rare, and the person who possessed this poison must not be an ordinary person.
She didn't want to help someone with the poison and then be retaliated against, and then die without knowing how.
Ji Yunzhong solemnly assured: "Don't worry, what happened tonight will not be spread out. A famous doctor who can detoxify has been found, and no one will think of blaming you."
Now Jian Yue felt relieved.
She could refuse the credit, but she couldn't get herself involved. The fights between big men were always accompanied by blood and gore, and a small shrimp like her had better stay away from it. She was not worthy of participating.
She stood up and walked to another small table to write a prescription. After finishing, she handed the two prescriptions to Ji Yunzhong: "First, prepare the medicines on the first prescription. It must be used in conjunction with the golden needle technique. The second prescription should also be prepared as soon as possible."
"Okay." Ji Yunzhong walked out with the prescription and handed it to Manager Yu personally, asking him to prepare it quickly.
Jian Yue also asked for more boiled water and glutinous rice soup. She gave the instructions one by one, looking relaxed and casual, as if the poison to be cured was not difficult for her.
And this is indeed the case.
The poison that others thought was unsolvable was a piece of cake for her. She didn't think it was difficult. She had seen all kinds of strange poisons under her master. What she was most worried about now was whether there was the antidote she needed in this world.
"Bring some boiling water and a jar of good wine. Please lie down on the bed and take off your clothes." Jian Yue gave the instructions one by one.
Ji Yunzhong waved his hand, and the servant at the door immediately went to fetch water and wine. Ji Yunzhong went forward and gently picked up the person on the armchair and put him on the bed in the inner room.
The boiling water was quickly brought over, and a maid came in with a jar of first-grade Yanlingchun. Jian Yue took out the golden needles and washed them in boiling water. Then, she poured the wine into a small rectangular porcelain jar and soaked the washed golden needles in it.
Manager Yu hurried over with a bag of herbs for Jian Yue to look at. After a careful inspection, Jian Yue asked someone to boil the herbs in the hall, and she wanted to watch it with her own eyes.
Ji Yunzhong knew that she was cautious and afraid of accidents, so he told his servants to do as he was told.
After half an hour, the medicine was ready. Jian Yue took the porcelain pot for soaking golden needles, Ji Yunzhong held the medicine, and they went into the inner room with Doctor Mao.
The masked man had taken off his clothes and was only wearing a pair of shorts, revealing his skin and bones.
Ji Yunzhong fed him the medicine, and Jian Yue began to perform acupuncture.
Doctor Mao stood behind Jian Yue and watched her insert the longest needles into the most important acupuncture points on her chest, and his heart was in his throat.
To be honest, he usually didn't dare to touch those major acupoints easily when performing acupuncture.
After a while, the masked man's chest was filled with golden needles.
Then, the acupuncture site was transferred to the thigh. Only when the thigh was also filled with golden needles did Jian Yue take the time to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
"Prepare a spittoon and glutinous rice soup." Jian Yue said.
Immediately, a maid appeared at the door of the inner room holding a spittoon.
After about an incense stick of time, Jian Yue asked the maid holding the spittoon to come forward, and she began to remove the needle. Ji Yunzhong also came over to help.
Just when Jian Yue pulled out the last golden needle, the masked man began to feel nauseous and vomit.
Ji Yunzhong immediately helped him half stand up.
vomit!
With a splashing sound, an indescribable stench quickly filled the room as if water was released from the masked man's mouth.
Jian Yue quickly opened all the windows and explained as she did so: "It's not that I dislike you, I'm just afraid that you'll get poisoned again if you smell this kind of odor. You're too weak and have no resistance at all."
The masked man didn't say anything. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but that he didn't have the strength. He felt that he had vomited out all the energy he had.
After he vomited, Jian Yue asked him to rinse his mouth. Then, drink the glutinous rice soup. Three whole bowls of glutinous rice soup, Jian Yue forced him to finish them, these three bowls of soup almost sent him to death.
After drinking, Jian Yue immediately pulled the master out of the inner room: "Let him go to the toilet."
Going to the toilet?
The masked man was confused, but he didn't want to go to the toilet! Thinking of this, his stomach suddenly made a gurgling sound, like thunder.
Ji Yunzhong hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare a chamber pot for him.
Outside, Jian Yue said to Doctor Mao: "Master, please prescribe some warming and nourishing prescriptions for him based on his physical condition. He is too weak, so he can only recuperate slowly."
Doctor Mao nodded, but then asked worriedly, "Are you sure you can detoxify me?"
Jian Yue smiled...
