This potion is a specially made anesthetic by Lin Yuxin. Just one sip will make someone unconscious for days and nights. It's a bit of a waste to use this Gu worm today, but there's nothing she can do about it; this is all she has right now.
The insects were too small, so soaking was the only option.
The Gu worms that had been injected with the medicine tried to escape, but after struggling a few times, they gradually became unable to move.
"Squeak?"
Why go through all this trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just kill him?
"The book on Gu I read said that this kind of Gu is not fatal, but it can control a person's brain. The harm after removing the Gu is brain damage, which means that one may become stupid."
"There have been too many cases of this disease among the people these past few days, so I need to prepare the medicine in advance. The most important ingredient in this medicine is the mother worm."
"I grind the mother insect into powder and put it into my specially prepared medicine, which can alleviate the brain damage caused by the Gu poison."
"I saw this last night, but it was only mentioned briefly. I don't know if it will work, but I'll add some fairy dew, and the effect should be better."
Lin Yuxin continued what she was doing while explaining it to it.
She originally thought that simply killing the mother worm and burning it would be enough to cure the people from the curse.
However, the book on Gu that I read last night recorded that the method to remove each Gu is different, and not every Gu can be removed by simply killing the mother Gu.
Some types of Gu poison, if they kill the mother insect, will also cause the offspring insects to rebel, which may cause the person infected with the Gu to die on the spot.
So Lin Yuxin actually studied the antidotes for these poisons carefully last night.
After Lin Yuxin ground the mother insect in her hand into powder, the mother insect was already dead beyond any doubt.
She flashed out of the space, wrote down a prescription, then walked out of the room and handed the prescription to Xueying.
"Take some of this prescription and decoct the medicine. Once you've finished, come find me in the West Garden."
Lin Yuxin gave the instructions.
"yes."
Xueying took the prescription and left.
Xueying had already left, and Xiaohao was no longer trained by his master, so Lin Yuxin took him with her and turned to walk towards Qiyuan.
The group of people afflicted by the poison lived in the West Garden; there were a total of 280 people.
Xiyuan was the largest residence next to the county government office. Lin Yuxin had it opened up because of its size and the fact that the people living there had moved out long ago. She then took in the people living there.
It's also close to the county government office, just across the street.
When Lin Yuxin arrived with Xiao Hao, a guard anxiously came out and, upon seeing Lin Yuxin, hurriedly stepped forward to report:
"Princess, for some reason, many of these people have suddenly fainted. I've left them in the courtyard and am just about to go find you."
"It's alright, I'll go take a look."
Lin Yuxin said she was fine, but she didn't stop walking and strode into the yard.
When Lin Yuxin walked into the courtyard, she saw more than two hundred people being placed on the ground by the guards. Lin Yuxin paused, her lips twitching. Why did this scene look so strange?
Before Lin Yuxin could think further, she quickly walked to the nearest villager, squatted down, and began to take his pulse.
After a long while, Lin Yuxin let go of her hand. Sure enough, this Gu poison damaged the brain. Even though the mother worm was dead, the offspring worms would also die naturally.
However, the part that is being controlled is the human brain. When the brain is controlled by a foreign object for a long time, the nerves in various parts of the brain will be damaged.
"It's alright. The Gu poison in their bodies has been neutralized. However, after being poisoned for a long time, their bodies couldn't handle the sudden removal of the poison, and the Gu poison had also caused some damage. Xueying will bring the medicine over in a bit, and they can drink it. They'll be fine after a little rest."
Lin Yuxin stood up and gave instructions to the guards who had been following her.
She assigned four guards to watch over the West Garden, just in case anything happened to the people, so she could know immediately.
"yes!"
A short while later, Xueying and her men carried a bucket of medicine. Lin Yuxin put the ground mother worm powder and fairy dew into it, and then had Xueying lead everyone to feed it to the people.
After everyone had finished drinking, Lin Yuxin noticed there was still a lot left in the bucket and said to Xueying:
"Go out into the street and see if anyone has a family member who suddenly fainted. Give them a bowl of this."
"yes!"
Xueying accepted the order, then led her men, carrying buckets, to the streets, asking from house to house.
For some people who hadn't yet developed symptoms, and whose symptoms weren't very obvious—at most they just looked dazed and reacted slowly—Lin Yuxin let them stay home and didn't send them to Xiyuan.
By the afternoon, the people who had been poisoned by the curse had all woken up.
Where is this?
"Where am I? Why am I lying on the ground?"
"Is that a princess? What's she doing?"
The people woke up one by one, looking around in confusion. Seeing everyone lying on the ground, they asked anxiously.
Lin Yuxin felt relieved when she saw that everyone was awake.
Seeing that the people were all puzzled and had started discussing it, he then began to explain:
"People, you were poisoned before, but today we have cured you. You will be fine from now on! If you still feel unwell, you can come to me. I will stay here for two more days."
"Now everyone can go home."
The people sitting on the ground looked at each other, then stood up. Had they been poisoned? They had no recollection of it; they only remembered the princess saying she would distribute grain and provide free medical care, and then nothing more.
"Princess, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that we have no memory of it and really don't know what happened! Is the poison really cured? Will we be poisoned again in the future?"
Some of the people, upon hearing Lin Yuxin say that they had been poisoned, were extremely uneasy. Although the princess said the poison had been cured, they didn't remember anything about it and had no idea!
