She changed the prescription from one to three, targeting mild and severe symptoms, and the young and old, adjusting the dosage of each medicinal ingredient according to its medicinal properties, and finding milder alternatives in terms of efficacy, thereby reducing side effects.
After reading the prescriptions, Han Su couldn't help but sigh that Wu Zhi was indeed talented. The three prescriptions used bold yet safe medications, and they could also complement each other's shortcomings.
"If you don't test the medicine, you can't fully understand its efficacy, and there's no way to improve it." This was an explanation to Han Su.
"But you are acting too recklessly. How dare you try such a dangerous medicine when there is no one around you?"
"I'm sure I won't die."
The tenderness in Han Su's heart was immediately suppressed by her. He raised his voice and scolded: "If you can't die, can you also be injured? The poison will destroy your body over time. How can you live in Chang'an?"
Wu Zhi's hand trembled and he made a mistake in writing a word, but he didn't talk back as usual.
Han Su snorted, "Aren't you determined to join the Medical Department? If you continue to abuse your body like this, you'll probably die before the department approves your application."
After this man became a teaching doctor at the Medical Bureau, he became even more unforgiving with his words.
Wu Zhi was busy copying prescriptions, but her hands were weak and she lost strength after just a few copies. She handed the pen to Han Su and said, "You do it. I can't do it anymore. Please make a few more copies and send them to the medical office and the plague clinics in the various districts."
Han Su glared at her for a moment, then took the pen from her hand, massaged it for her, and then started copying.
Wu Zhi rubbed her fingers, picked up the Qingwen tea that Han Su had prepared for her and took a few sips.
Copying prescriptions can calm people down. After a while, Han Su asked, "Where did you get the original prescription?" He had already figured out Wu Zhi's method of using medicine. He knew at a glance that this prescription was not from Wu Zhi's hand.
Wu Zhi was silent for a moment before answering, "The original recipe was made by that old monster."
Han Su paused, "Old monster?"
"The head of the Wu family is also my grandfather."
"It sounds like he's not on good terms with you."
"Ci Mu?" Wu Zhi suddenly smiled, but her tone was cold. "Do you know why I dared to try this prescription?"
Han Su paused and stared at her, "Why?"
A strange light flashed in Wu Zhi's eyes. "Because I tried it a long time ago and I know I won't die."
Han Su felt a chill run down his spine, and a guess came to his mind, "He...used you to test the medicine?"
"I am his medicine man." Wu Zhi placed his palm against the bowl, using the warmth of the tea to dispel the cold.
"But you are his granddaughter."
"In his eyes, I'm nothing more than the illegitimate offspring of his son and a witch servant's momentary indulgence. If it were a son, it would be fine, but it's a daughter, and she can't even enter the witch temple." Wu Zhi looked at the string of silver bells hanging from the bed curtains; they were silent. "My mother is a witch servant and a medicine man. A medicine man's daughter is naturally also a little medicine man."
That's why she dared to test the medicine on herself without restraint.
Han Su's pen trembled slightly. If he wanted to test the medicine, he had to first inoculate himself with the disease. He didn't know anything else, but this plague...
“How did you test this recipe?”
"The year I tried this recipe, Yufu County was struck by a major epidemic. The entire county and surrounding villages were wiped out. The government offices of nearby counties and prefectures posted notices offering a large reward for a cure. The old monster wanted a piece of the action, so he sent people to the epidemic area and captured the plague rats..."
"Bang!" Han Su slammed the pen in his hand hard on the table, with murderous eyes.
