Chapter 555 Let's examine the treatment plan.
When Jiang Nuanzhi said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
It's possible that an ordinary person would keep it as a family heirloom and pass it down, after all, it's a hundred-tonifying pill from the Imperial Preceptor's mansion!
This thing is not just about medicinal effects; it's also a symbol of ability and power. Keeping it at home is infinitely more useful than its actual medicinal effects.
Unexpectedly, they never imagined they would have the chance to get a share of the pie.
Judging others by one's own standards, Dr. Jiang truly treats everyone as one of her own.
The waiter, however, didn't think as much as the adults. He was very decisive. He and Lin Chun filled a large teapot with hot water, crushed the pills into small pieces, threw them in and stirred them to dissolve. They also prepared a pot of yellow wine and, as Jiang Nuanzhi instructed, gave everyone in the room a small cup.
While everyone was curiously watching the water, General Wan tilted his head back and drank it all down in one gulp.
Then he blinked and said, "Hey! There's something like this in the world? After the cool sensation went down my throat, I felt a surge of energy rising in my dantian, and I suddenly felt a surge of strength."
As General Wan spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fist, looking at his hand in surprise.
Dongzang nodded in agreement: "It really feels so good, it's like my whole body is warming up!"
“That’s right!” Wei Ke was also taken aback: “Why do I feel like my symptoms have improved?”
Chi Heng hadn't been willing to drink yet, but after hearing everyone's words, he immediately brought it to his lips. He didn't drink it all in one gulp, but tasted it first. After a while, he stared at his cup, looking rather unsatisfied.
Because one pill could be converted into a pot of water, and there were many people in the family, each person only received a small cup.
The old steward, the two protectors, the waiter, Baozhu, the young princess, and Yuchuan were all treated to a cup.
Commander Liu had already left, and Sanqi had returned to the palace. Eunuch Liu had stayed here because he was worried about Jiang Nuanzhi. Now he was extremely glad that he hadn't left, otherwise, how would a servant like him ever have the chance to drink such good things from the Imperial Preceptor's mansion?
After finishing the cup, he felt a faint warmth creeping into his knees, which were usually chilled by the cold wind. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but his previously blurred vision seemed to clear up. These servants, accustomed to serving in the palace, once outside Physician Jiang's residence, who would still consider them human?
Liu Gonggong's eyes reddened instantly. He lowered his head and pulled at his sleeves to hide his face, not wanting anyone to see his appearance.
In fact, while everyone was marveling at the amazing changes in their bodies, no one actually noticed them.
"Mother, why do I feel so warm and sleepy?" Xiao Er blinked slowly, almost dropping the cup in his hand.
Jiang Nuanzhi took the cup from his hand and touched his rosy little face: "Go to sleep if you want to. Look, your sister is already asleep."
In fact, Baozhu was also fed a cup by Linchun. She reacted even faster. She was originally guarding Li Rong, but the next second she lay down and fell asleep in front of her father.
He handed the drowsy waiter to Lü Shizhu, who was still busy, and instructed him, "Take him to sleep. Everyone else has had a drink, so don't forget to have one after you, Linchun, and Chen Shu finish your work."
The three of them smiled and nodded.
The group had escaped unscathed from Xiao Yuanshan's residence today, which was already like winning a battle, and their morale was now greatly boosted. It was as if the dejection they had felt over the past few days since arriving in the capital had completely dissipated. They were no longer the sorrowful figures they had looked in the previous days.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and handed the old butler the cup of honey water that he hadn't picked up yet: "Please drink, sir. And what about the two guardians? Why aren't they touching it?"
The old butler stared hesitantly at the cup of tea. He didn't know how to use intimidation, but his intuition told him he should refuse. However, having served his master for so many years, he hadn't actually had tea more than twice. Although the temptation was small, even a fly is still meat.
"Thank you, young master."
The old butler silently picked up his teacup and drank it.
The two guardians behind them, who seemed to be watching a good show, exchanged a glance, and then both drank it down in one gulp.
It wasn't that they were worried about the old steward's attitude, but rather that if he drank it, and the master got angry later, they could just blame it all on him. For a moment, both of them had a hint of excitement in their eyes. Arriving early had its advantages; if they, like the other two protectors, didn't arrive until tomorrow, wouldn't they miss out on the drink too?
Jiang Nuanzhi, now that the medicine was taking effect, stretched and moved around a bit before saying, "Let's get ready to begin! Prepare some paper and pen; I'll draw a meridian diagram, and the two of us will discuss the treatment plan."
"Hmm?" The old butler looked over, somewhat puzzled.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "It's better to be prepared. Let's discuss how to treat it later, just in case."
As they spoke, Jiang Nuanzhi took the paper and pen that Dongzang had brought and quickly sketched out a rough diagram of the human body's meridians.
The old steward stared in disbelief, and for a moment he even felt that the young master in front of him seemed somewhat reliable, at least more so than he had imagined.
The old steward actually wanted to start with Li Rong.
He still felt that this young master was unpredictable, so he decided to let her treat others first, and make sure he was fine before proceeding.
However, because he had consumed too much of that Qi-stabilizing pill, his body was still digesting its effects, and his blood was surging. The young master had to administer acupuncture several times, and with a skilled practitioner by his side to assist with absorption, he barely managed to stabilize the situation. It wasn't a good time to administer acupuncture at this moment. Ultimately, they started with the master.
After repeatedly confirming that what Jiang Nuanzhi said was safe, the old butler frowned and followed Jiang Nuanzhi to begin detoxifying the old man.
In the end, she didn't dare use the blood that Xiao Yuanshan had put in the porcelain bottle; she used the blood from the handkerchief instead.
Jiang Nuanzhi stared curiously at the old butler's actions. To be honest, she had never seen what this Gu worm was before, or why it had to be made with human blood.
The old housekeeper cut the handkerchief in half, then poured some powder onto one half of the blood. She then began chanting incantations. After a short while, she felt a red blood clot faintly emerging from the old man's chest, flowing out with the blood.
When the red blood clot flowed into his arm, the old steward's expression hardened. He immediately used his internal energy to fix the red blood clot there, and then relaxed slightly: "The mother Gu has been drawn out. Young Master, you can begin."
After he finished speaking, the two guardians immediately came to his side to assist Jiang Nuanzhi in performing the acupuncture.
It has to be said that the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is truly a place where hidden talents abound. Jiang Nuanzhi never expected that the two guards, who were so skilled, would also be familiar with medical principles and even know how to perform acupuncture.
With their help, Jiang Nuanzhi's treatment this time was even less tiring than when she treated Wei Ke.
An hour and a half later, after several rounds of acupuncture, Jiang Nuanzhi quickly made an incision in his arm, and then the red, wriggling blood clump suddenly came out. The old steward immediately covered it with a special cup for holding Gu worms. Jiang Nuanzhi performed a final acupuncture, expelling the poison and worm eggs that had been forced there. Black blood flowed from his veins and was soon caught by a cloth that had been prepared beforehand. A strong liquor was poured on top, and a fire burned it all away.
After doing all that, the group finally stopped, exhausted.
The old steward, ignoring the sweat on his forehead, hurried over and placed his fingers on the old man's pulse. The next second, his eyes lit up with excitement: "It's done! Master's poison has been dispelled! Only a little residual poison remains. With some medicine, he will be fully recovered in less than half a month!"
Then, his eyes fell on Jiang Nuanzhi's skillful hands, and he couldn't help but be amazed: "Young Master, what exquisite acupuncture technique!"
