Wan Xueying's guess about those women was soon confirmed by Shen Yu.
The women captured this time were once decent women, but after giving birth to children for those infected with the "Drawing Thread" poison, some were trained as assassins to survive. They would only receive a temporary antidote by the end of the year if they completed various tasks.
"Then why did that group of thieves capture young ladies from various families?" This was what Wan Xueying couldn't figure out. "Aren't they afraid that capturing young ladies from various families will cause unnecessary trouble?" For example, last time, because Ji Rongsan was captured, Ji Yun ordered his men to wipe out almost all the thieves' dens in Northern Xinjiang, but he didn't expect that the other party would come back so soon.
Shen Yu replied: "Maybe they want to use the young ladies from various families to bribe important officials in the court." For some important officials in the court, ordinary girls from good families are not even in their eyes.
"I see!"
"Don't be too stressed out or anxious about the detoxification work." Shen Yu felt a little distressed when he saw Wan Xueying busy with Doctor Lu all day long.
"I've already got some clues. I think I can make a useful antidote this time. However, I need to find a few people who have been poisoned by the thread-pulling poison to conduct experiments." It was meaningless to use mice for experiments nowadays. She needed to develop antidotes with different proportions according to different individuals.
Over the past two days, she had taken the blood of several women for research and discovered that none of them had the Dragnetic Apothecary poison, otherwise they could have been used for experiments. Come to think of it, the herbs used to infect Dragnetic Apothecary poison were extremely expensive and it was impossible to use them casually on these women.
"Then I'll let Pei Xuanqing arrange it." After all, it involves human life, and the lives of the Dark Forest Guards, so Shen Yu had to let Pei Xuanqing make the decision.
Pei Xuanqing was extremely efficient and quickly selected two people from the Dark Forest Guards.
"I have to explain to you two in advance that the antidote I prepare later may not be able to remove the poison, and it may even directly take your lives." When the two were sent to Wan Xueying and Doctor Lu, Wan Xueying explained again responsibly.
One of them replied, "The commander explained it clearly to us before we came. We came of our own accord." He then explained, "I'm thirty-seven years old. If I don't detoxify myself, I won't live many more years. I might as well take a chance and give it a try."
Another person followed up, "I'm thirty-five, and it's the same."
"Then let's start now. I'm going to take some of your blood first." Wan Xueying planned to analyze the two people's current poisoning conditions based on their blood.
This comparison revealed that, as Doctor Lu had previously warned, the toxins in the two people's bodies had changed, and the poison from Qiansi was no longer the main poison they were infected with.
Wan Xueying used her full mental power to record the toxins in their blood, then spent several days calculating the proportion of each toxin. Then, she spent several more days working with Doctor Lu to formulate an antidote based on this data.
When the antidote was prepared and given to the two men, she also prepared a large amount of antidotes for common poisons just in case, hoping to save their lives.
The moment the two received the antidote, their pupils couldn't help but dilate, and their expressions became somewhat complicated. Without waiting for Wan Xueying to ask them to think about it again, it would be best if one of them took the antidote first. As if they had agreed, they both took the antidote at the same time.
Under the close watch of Wan Xueying and Doctor Lu, the older Dark Forest Guard vomited a large mouthful of black blood less than an hour after taking the antidote.
Impulsively, Wan Xueying was about to ask the man to take medicine to cure common poisons, but Doctor Lu waved his hand at her, "Don't be impatient, wait a little longer."
"Wait?" You won't miss the last chance to save people, right?
Doctor Lu comforted the Dark Forest Guard, "Don't be nervous. Just vomit as much as you can. Those are all poisonous." He also carefully called a servant to prepare two spittoons for the two men.
Not long after, the other Dark Forest Guard opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of black blood.
After hearing Doctor Lu's explanation, not only Wan Xueying, but also the two of them were no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning when they vomited blood again. However, not long after, they both had fever again. Their faces were as red as boiled shrimp.
Wan Xueying suspected this was the body's immune response to the toxin. Since medication couldn't reduce the fever, she had someone wipe them repeatedly with warm water.
By the next morning, their temperatures had finally dropped. Doctor Lu felt their pulses again, and a slightly satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Uncle Lu, what happened?" Although Wan Xueying could tell something from Doctor Lu's expression, she still asked anxiously.
"All the poisons should be resolved."
"Really?" Not only Wan Xueying, but the two Dark Forest Guards also opened their eyes wide.
Doctor Lu nodded. "That's right. However, their bodies have been severely damaged by toxins over the years, and they need more treatment."
"I'll have to trouble Uncle Lu for this." Wan Xueying decided to see these two brave men off to the end.
The two guards looked at each other and knelt down to express their gratitude to Wan Xueying and Doctor Lu.
The older one said, "You two are our second parents. From now on, if you need anything, just tell us what you want."
Reborn parents? Wan Xueying glanced at Doctor Lu. Why did that sound so awkward? But she also knew it was just a thank you. So she said, "You've earned all this yourselves. Don't think too much about it. Just take care of your health."
Finally it succeeded, which made Pei Xuanqing and Shen Yu excited and secretly relieved at the same time.
Pei Xuanqing wasn't in a rush to arrange for the next batch of detoxification personnel, nor were he and Shen Yu. They still had to use this period to screen for available personnel. Besides, he and Shen Yu had been very busy cleaning up that gang of thieves.
Han Jun was a very experienced man. When he returned and found that Wan Xueying, Xue Lingyue and the others had been rescued (he personally believed so), he immediately led his men out of the city through a secret passage. So when Pei Xuanqing and Shen Yu led their men to capture them, the thieves had already fled.
However, Pei Xuanqing and Shen Yu had no intention of letting them go, so they sent people to search everywhere and sealed all the secret passages in the house.
Pei Xuanqing also reported the matter of Han Jun and Princess Shuhua's husband to Lian Zong in time through the falcons trained by the Dark Forest Guards. Unfortunately, the person who received the secret letter was not Lian Zong, but Ning Tai, who was in charge of the government.
The reason was simple: Lian Zong was ill and very seriously ill.
As a filial son, Ning Tai went to see Lian Zong, who was lying on the dragon bed with a crooked mouth and eyes and unable to speak, as soon as he received the secret letter.
"Father, guess whose secret report I received today?" Ning Tai kindly waved it before Lian Zong's eyes. "It was from Pei Xuanqing. He said that Princess Shuhua's consort, Qingling's father, Zheng Xincheng, is still alive. Isn't that ridiculous?"
