Chapter 709 A Dream of Youth 241
It's unclear whether the problem lies with her methodology or with the subjects of her experiment.
Xie Ning chose injured animals or soldiers who were beyond saving and waiting to die as her test subjects. She was desperate and wanted to see if she could save them with this medicine.
However, very few survived, only one or two out of a hundred. Therefore, Xie Ning could not determine whether it was the effect of his medicine or their good fortune in surviving.
The plasters they use now mostly contain oil, which has a good effect on preventing infection of wounds, but it is far less effective than antibiotics.
Taking out a new sheet of paper, Xie Ning continued to copy down his other innovative formulas based on existing plasters, intending to go back and discuss with Jiang Yuanzheng and the others whether to hand them over to the pharmacy for production and sale.
These remedies are effective and cheaper, so they probably won't refuse them.
On the way there, they marched at breakneck speed, and Xie Ning rode a horse the whole way, especially during battles. On the way back, however, she quietly rode in a carriage.
After several months of continuous fighting, even though she had consciously strengthened her training since childhood, her body had suffered a lot from the long-term fatigue. She should take a good rest when she is not busy.
Otherwise, my parents and relatives will definitely worry when I get home.
The army returned to the capital at noon. Earlier, messengers had rushed to the city to report the news. The army camped outside the city, while the generals who returned to the capital led a small number of imperial guards into the city.
Even before they reached the city, people were already shouting for a certain general, interspersed with the sounds of families calling for their children.
The emperor, accompanied by his officials, specially greeted the generals at the palace gate, showing them the utmost respect.
Xie Ning, dressed in a scarlet official robe, rode alongside Imperial Physician Du and others. The female physicians she brought were also dressed in uniform and followed behind Xie Ning. They rode on opposite sides of the other students, their bright clothes and spirited horses making them extremely eye-catching.
The people lined the streets, cheering to welcome the army's triumphant return. Chen Yuncheng leaned half his body out of the second-floor window, screaming for Xie Ning, "Cousin! Cousin!"
Xie Qi was initially embarrassed, but caught up in the atmosphere, he excitedly joined Chen Yuncheng in shouting.
Xie Ning seemed to have heard it, so she looked up and glanced at her. When she saw her family standing at the window, she smiled, and the sunlight shone on her face, making her look radiant.
Before Chen Yuncheng and his group could react to the smile, screams erupted from the window next door: "Ahhh! Lord Xie looked at me! She looked at me! She smiled at me!"
They were all young girls, pushing and shoving each other, crowding around the window. Some clutched their chests and threw their sachets down. When Xie Ning caught one, more and more handkerchiefs, sachets, and flowers rained down on her.
The other imperial physicians frequently glanced at Xie Ning, jokingly remarking, "Lord Xie is quite popular, unlike us old men."
Du Mingzhao, who was silently following behind, subconsciously touched his face. He was not bad-looking, so why was no one screaming for him or throwing him sachets?
Just then, a pink sachet embroidered with hydrangeas fell into his arms. Before he could even smile and see which young lady it belonged to, a young lady shouted, "Oh dear, I threw the wrong one! That's for Lord Xie!"
"Young master, please give my sachet to Lord Xie!"
Du Mingzhao's face fell instantly, and he threw the flowers at Xie Ning, who was almost buried in them. His heart was deeply hurt!
Shouldn't the ladies be throwing their sachets and handkerchiefs at their husbands? Why are they all throwing them at Xie Ning!
Xie Ning, who got hit on the head again: ......
Du Xin glared at her petty brother who was secretly taking revenge, then looked at the light yellow sachet with tassels hanging from Xie Ning's waist. She gently raised her chin; it was embroidered by her!
Many women brought their children to watch the spectacle. When they saw Xie Ning, who was young and handsome and dressed in a red robe, their eyes shone with a special light. Then they looked down at their own little daughters and a secret expectation rose in their hearts.
If daughters in the family can bring glory to the family like Xie Ning, then what difference is there between daughters and sons?
Tomorrow I'll discuss with the elders in the family about sending my daughter to the pharmaceutical institute to study medicine!
