Chapter 365: Silver Fox Poison
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the dishes have been served."
"You two read so many memorials every day, maybe your eyes feel a little tired sometimes? This eye-clearing soup is very good for your eyes."
"This is Poria cocos and carp soup, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen and calming the mind."
"I heard that Your Majesty had a cough a few days ago. Your Majesty can drink more of this turtle and Fritillaria soup."
“And this one…”
Jiang Rumin introduced the dishes on the table one by one, and finally picked up a pot of soup and placed it in front of Song Yunchu.
"Your Highness, I made this lotus seed beauty soup especially for you. I added pearl powder and peach petals to it. It not only tastes refreshing, but also has the effect of nourishing the skin."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunchu immediately opened the lid and took a sip.
"It's really delicious." She praised with a smile. Seeing Jiang Rumin was still standing, she pulled her wrist and asked her to sit next to her, "You can eat with us too."
Jiang Rumin felt a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, this..."
"Your Majesty and I are just two people, how can we finish all this? This isn't a big occasion, so there's no need to be restrained. You worked hard to prepare this table, so of course you have to eat it."
Jiang Rumin heard this and smiled faintly: "My current glory is all given by His Majesty and His Highness. Why should I work so hard?"
"That's an understatement. You have earned your current success by yourself. Regardless of whether we have a personal relationship, the court will not treat you unfairly. Come, eat."
Jiang Rumin looked at the chicken leg that Song Yunchu put into her bowl, and felt warm in her heart.
Before she met Song Yunchu, she had never thought that there would be someone who would always praise her and remind her that she was a capable person.
It was Song Yunchu who made her understand that she could strive for wealth and glory by relying on herself alone, without relying on the pity and charity of others.
In Song Yunchu's words, although she looks weak, she is strong inside and is also a strong person.
The strength of the strong is not only reflected in military force. Being able to help the weak, contribute to the country and realize one's own value is also a manifestation of strength.
The title of 'Divine Doctor Jiang' is the recognition given to her by countless people.
She often wondered how she could repay His Highness.
Your Highness has everything he needs now, but His Majesty...
Although your majesty's heart disease does not occur often, it is a hidden danger as long as it exists. Your majesty is still young and may feel that the impact is not significant, but as he grows older, this disease will sooner or later cause more trouble.
She looked through many ancient medical books, trying to find a cure for this disease, but many ancient books only wrote about ways to alleviate the symptoms.
The medicines prescribed by the Imperial Medical Bureau for Your Majesty can only relieve the symptoms.
In fact, after the Worry-Free Pill incident, she and Medicine King also discussed how to cure heart disease. Medicine King's original words were - there is no cure for heart disease and tuberculosis so far. If he could help, he would have helped long ago. Why wait until now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rumin sighed lightly.
If Your Majesty can recover, Your Highness will be very happy.
"What's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
Song Yunchu caught a glimpse of sadness between Jiang Rumin's eyebrows and asked curiously, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"Nothing, Your Highness, please eat your food."
Jiang Rumin didn't intend to say it out loud to dampen Song Yunchu's mood.
There is no limit to the advancement of medical skills. Weren’t plague and the poison of Wuyoudan also terminal illnesses in the past?
Perhaps in the near future, heart disease will be completely cured by doctors.
…
As evening approached, the sky became dark.
In the spacious courtyard of the winery, a silver fox was sleeping under a banana leaf.
A few feet away, Jun Tianyi tore open the seal of a jar of green plum wine, and the air was immediately filled with the aroma of wine.
He looked at the silver fox in front of him, only to see that the little fellow, who had been lying quietly, suddenly opened his eyes, then poked his head out from under the banana leaves and jumped onto his legs in a flash.
Jun Tianyi poured the wine into a bowl and placed it on the edge of the table. The silver fox then climbed onto the table to lick the wine. He raised his hand and gently stroked the silver fox's fur, and the silver fox quietly let him stroke its fur.
When Du Zhong brought over the cut beef and mutton, the silver fox had already licked a bowl of wine and returned to Jun Tianyi's lap.
"This little guy has become fatter now than when I first caught him." Du Zhong said with a smile, "My method really works. You have been with him day and night for these days, feeding him wine and meat every day. Even if he is out of the cage now, he will not want to leave you."
Jun Tianyi rubbed the little head of the silver fox and said leisurely: "I have raised it for so long, it is time to let it do something for me."
He still doesn't know what species this fox is, and none of his men can recognize it.
I can't recognize it, which shows that it is an extremely rare species.
I still remember that during the first few days after this little guy was put in the cage, his temper was very unstable. After every meal, he would make a fuss in the cage. Sometimes he would bite the cage with his teeth, and sometimes he would jump and bump into it, making so much noise that it was difficult to fall asleep at night.
But even so, he still insisted on living with the silver fox and remained patient. No matter how the silver fox made trouble, he treated it with a gentle attitude.
The silver fox seemed to sense his good intentions and gradually stopped making trouble.
He tried to open the cage and let the little fox move freely in his house.
The space was expanded, and the silver fox wagged its tail happily. During the day, it sometimes slept on the table, and sometimes in the bookcase. At night when he rested, the silver fox would jump onto the bed and sleep at his feet.
In fact, he really didn't like the animal hair everywhere in the house, but he was determined to tame the silver fox, so naturally he had to endure some things that he couldn't tolerate before.
As they spent time together day by day, Silver Fox became closer to him. He also discovered that Silver Fox was not irritable towards strangers under normal circumstances. Occasionally, when his men entered the house, Silver Fox would be very vigilant and stay five feet away, but would not actively attack.
The Silver Fox will only react violently when dealing with two people.
These were the two guards who had caught it in a net and put it in a cage a few days ago.
In order to test how good Silver Fox's memory was, he asked the two guards to hide in a large iron cage, locked the cage, and then carried Silver Fox to the front of the cage.
As soon as he let go, the silver fox pounced on the iron cage, as if trying to bite the cage open so that it could get in and take revenge on its "enemy".
But the cage was made of mesh and was hard. It could neither get in nor bite through it, so it could only bare its teeth wildly at the two people in the cage.
Jun Tianyi guessed Silver Fox's reaction.
In order to make good use of the silver fox's aggressiveness, he ordered people to prepare a special kind of powder and asked two subordinates to apply it on their bodies. He also prepared bamboo sticks for the two men. The two men used the bamboo sticks to fight the silver fox across the cage, and the silver fox's attitude towards them became more and more ferocious.
But it could not attack the two at all, and was so angry that it bared its teeth and roared. After a stalemate of some time, Jun Tianyi thought that the silver fox should remember the smell of the powder, so he tried to let his men bring other animals over, including a nimble little leopard and a wolfhound. After he sprinkled the powder on these animals, the silver fox attacked the animals as he expected.
In the silver fox's cognition, the smell of the two guards is what it hates the most. If other species have the same smell, it will never let it go.
Jun Tianyi was naturally not worried about the silver fox getting hurt. It was no exaggeration to say that its speed was as fast as the wind. Other agile beasts were much inferior to it. Therefore, whether it was a leopard or a wolfhound, they were quickly defeated by its attack.
Moreover, they did not die from being bitten by it, but died from poisoning.
Jun Tianyi was very satisfied with the training results.
"Maybe God took pity on my situation and let me encounter it."
Jun Tianyi stroked the silver fox on his knees and said slowly, "It will be the sharpest weapon in my hand."
"It's good that it can help you deal with the enemy." Du Zhong took over the conversation, "But sir, its poison is so strong, what if it hurts one of our own people one day?"
"So we have to find someone to develop an antidote."
Listening to Jun Tianyi's words, Du Zhong almost immediately thought of someone, "You are talking about Jiang Xiao... No, Princess, except her, no one else has this ability."
"That's right." Jun Tianyi said, "Let's find someone to try it on her first. The doctors we found before all said that the poison cannot be cured. I don't know if there will be any hope if Minmin can save the person before he dies. If she can save the person before he dies, we can't act rashly."
"yes."
…
The night passed in a flash.
The next morning, before dawn, someone knocked on the door of Ruihe Hall.
"Princess! Princess, please save my husband. Please, open the door!"
As the woman shouted, the door of Ruihe Hall was opened by a guard.
The guard looked at the woman outside the door, and found that she was the owner of the grocery store next door.
"Aunt Zhang? What's wrong? This is..."
"Something happened to my husband! I don't know what poison he was poisoned with, but his lips have turned purple!"
The guard saw that the person lying behind her had purple lips and was barely breathing, so he stepped out quickly and said, "Don't worry, the shopkeeper has already gotten off. Let's carry the person in and let him take a look."
The two carried the patient into the clinic. The innkeeper felt the patient's pulse and immediately asked about the cause of the poisoning, "How did you get the poison?"
"On his way to the toilet late at night, a fox jumped out from nowhere and pounced on him. The fox scratched his neck hard. He didn't think it was a big deal at first, so he came back and asked me to apply medicine on him. But when I saw him again after making breakfast, he looked like this!"
"Just being scratched by a fox, and this is what happened?"
The shopkeeper found this a little unbelievable and turned up the patient's clothes at the back of his neck, and indeed he saw a dark purple wound.
This made him frown.
The color is so dark, it is obvious that the toxicity is quite high.
"I've never seen a fox scratch a person like this. His pulse is in chaos. You can't use medicine rashly."
"If you can't do anything, then please ask the princess to come and see?"
The woman looked anxious, her eyes red from crying, "Did the princess stay in the clinic last night? She has always been kind and generous, and we have been neighbors for such a long time. Please call her and ask her to check on my child..."
The shopkeeper turned around and told the guards to invite Jiang Rumin.
Jiang Rumin had just gotten up and washed up. When she heard the guard report what happened in the clinic, she quickly tidied her clothes and went with the guard to check it out.
After taking the patient's pulse, she was also a little stunned.
What a confusing pulse.
She found it even more incredible when she learned from other people that the patient was scratched by a fox.
What kind of fox's claws could be so poisonous?
She tried giving the patient two of her most commonly used Baicao Yulu pills. "This pill has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It works even when you're bitten by a centipede or poisonous snake. Let's see if it helps him."
However, the results were somewhat disappointing; the two pills seemed to have no effect at all.
Jiang Rumin discussed with the shopkeeper for a long time. Seeing that the patient's condition was getting worse, Jiang Rumin had no choice but to order the guards to go to Prince Ning's Mansion to invite the King of Medicine to discuss the matter.
She thought that the King of Medicine would be quite interested in this tricky poison.
About half an hour later, the King of Medicine arrived at the clinic.
"Senior, you have seen many poisonous things, but have you ever heard of poisonous foxes? My patient was said to have been injured by a fox. I gave him two Jade Dew Pills, but they didn't work. Do you have a better way?"
Hearing the words "poisonous fox", Medicine King's eyebrows moved slightly. He came to the patient's side, looked at the wound and felt the pulse, and said in a deep voice: "It should be a golden-eyed silver fox."
Jiang Rumin was curious when he heard the unfamiliar words, "Senior, do you know this kind of poisonous fox?"
"This fox is an extremely rare species, almost extinct. I saw it hurting people when I was young. It's not big, but it's very strong and fast. If you are targeted by it, it's almost impossible to escape."
The Medicine King paused and said, "You have seen Xiao Song's Qinggong, right? Silver Fox's speed is not inferior to hers."
"So powerful?" Jiang Rumin's heart sank, and he glanced at the patient beside him. "So what you mean, senior, is that we can't cure this poison?"
"Yes, at least we have no clue at the moment. In the ancient medical books I have read, there is no record of a prescription that can cure the silver fox poison."
Listening to the conversation between the two, the woman next to them turned pale and sat down on the ground weakly.
Jiang Rumin sighed and said, "Aunt Zhang, he is still breathing. We will still try our best to treat him, but the result may not be satisfactory. You need to be mentally prepared."
As she spoke, she turned to look at the Medicine King and said, "Senior, we need to consider how to use the medicine. Please follow me to the pharmacy."
The two of them came to the backyard of the clinic. Jiang Rumin raised his eyes and looked at the Medicine King. "Senior, what did you hide about the Silver Fox? I saw that you seemed to be... hesitant to speak."
"Girl, you have sharp eyes."
The Medicine King stroked his beard and said slowly, "There is indeed no cure for the silver fox poison, because the antidote must be taken from the silver fox, but how can a silver fox be so easy to find? Even if you can find it, you can't catch it, so it's useless to talk about it."
"You are a kind-hearted girl. What if that woman relies on the fact that you have been neighbors for so long and asks you, the county magistrate, to use manpower to help her find the silver fox? Do you really want to find it? Don't take on such troublesome things. You might as well read more medical books if you have that time."
Jiang Rumin was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Senior is right."
It is indeed not her duty to do anything other than practicing medicine.
Jiang Rumin returned to the patient. Although she had anticipated the consequences, she still wanted to try whether she could alleviate the toxicity or relieve the patient's pain.
…
"It's almost sunset, and I don't know if there's any progress from Rumin's side."
In the courtyard of the winery, Jun Tianyi was feeding the silver fox while talking to his entourage.
As soon as he finished speaking, one of his subordinates came to report: "Master, the princess was unable to cure the poisoned person, which shows that this poison is indeed incurable at present."
"Really? That's great."
Jun Tianyi chuckled and stroked Silver Fox's head, "Xiaoyin, whether you can avenge me depends on you."
