"Lord Yan, how is the Lady of Julu County?"

Zhao Zhen asked.

Yan Shu's first wife, Li, died early, and his current wife is his second wife. She is the daughter of Meng Xuzhou, the Yuwenlang of Tuntian, and was granted the title of Lady of Julu County.

In history, Meng did not stay with Yan Shu until the end and eventually died of illness.

Although Yan Shu looked a little haggard, he was in good spirits. He smiled and said, "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, my wife has recovered from her critical condition and is now well."

"From danger to safety?"

Zhao Zhen had just heard this and was about to nod his head to express his congratulations to Yan Shu, but when he heard the following words, he was in disbelief and said, "Lord Yan, what are you talking about? It's only been a few days, and the Lady of Julu County has already recovered?"

You should know that Mrs. Meng suffered from lung heat. Modern bronchitis, pneumonia, and lung abscess are all types of lung heat. In ancient times, they were not completely incurable diseases and required symptomatic treatment. For example, Qianjin Weijing Decoction, Yiren Fuzi Baijiang San, and Dahuang Mudan Decoction can all be used for treatment.

However, treating this disease requires both the right medicine for the symptoms and the patient's ability to withstand it. Otherwise, the Chinese medicine would be slow to take effect and the patient would die. Therefore, in ancient times, lung heat was still a disease with a relatively high mortality rate. Even if it could be cured, the body would be extremely weak, rather than recovering within a few days.

So Zhao Zhen was extremely shocked when he heard Yan Shu say that Madam Meng had fully recovered.

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Yes, I only took two amoxicillin pills. The imperial physician said that the properties of the medicine are still uncertain and whether it is effective for the symptoms, so I shouldn't take too much. Seeing that my wife was seriously ill, I gave her one pill. Unexpectedly, she got better so quickly. She took another pill the day before yesterday, and now she can get out of bed and walk around freely. However, she has eaten less recently and is a little weak."

“This medicine is so miraculous.”

Zhao Zhen was surprised and asked, "Can the imperial physician extract the medicinal properties from it?"

Yan Shu shook his head and said, "If it were medicinal residue, the imperial physician would know the smell even if he just smelled it, but there's white powder inside, and I have no idea what it is. I think it must be the chemical compound that Zhao Jun mentioned."

"That would be a shame."

Zhao Zhen was disappointed at first, but then he said happily: "But he still has a lot of miracle medicines from later generations. This is a good thing."

Yan Shu said, "Yes, Your Majesty. If they can be preserved, perhaps they can be used to derive new medicines in the future. Our most urgent task now is to steal some from Zhao Jun... well, take some and preserve some of his medicines."

"In that case, let's go see Zhao Jun."

Zhao Zhen said.
