Chapter 25 What's the allergy to sumac?
She frowned slightly, took out a jade bottle from her sleeve, poured out a black pill, and quickly popped it into her mouth that she wanted to close but couldn't.
Forced to swallow the pill, Chen Ying stopped laughing after a while.
Everyone was amazed.
Chen Ying straightened her appearance and glanced at Ji Zixuan coldly. She felt humiliated by her laughter just now. She immediately said goodbye to Xiao Jinhuan and turned to leave.
Ji Zixuan returned to her seat as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Jinhuan was astonished and praised: "Ji Zixuan, you also know medical skills?"
Ji Zixuan stood up and saluted Xiao Jinhuan, saying calmly, "Your Highness, I have read a few medical books before, but I only have a basic understanding of medical principles."
So, can you be so powerful just by reading a few books? None of the people present had even seen Chen Ying's symptoms before, yet she was able to cure her with just one pill after taking her pulse. She was even more powerful than the imperial physician.
So at first glance, her words seemed self-deprecating, but everyone present thought she was extremely arrogant.
Xiao Jinhuan asked with a hint of doubt, "Princess Anyang was laughing so strangely just now. I wonder what's wrong with her?"
Ji Zixuan pointed to the wooden plaque on the square plate and asked, "Excuse me, Your Highness, is the plaque on this plate made of lacquer?"
Xiao Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed the lacquer tree. What does this have to do with Chen Ying's illness?"
Ji Zixuan said slowly, "The princess is allergic to lacquer trees."
Shen Junheng almost laughed out loud. She even developed an allergy to lacquer trees. Was she afraid others wouldn't know she was a time traveler?
Just now, Chen Ying laughed uncontrollably. If it appeared in modern texts, it might be some kind of mental illness. In ancient texts, it would most likely be a human frame-up such as poisoning or being poisoned.
She actually brought up the allergy to lacquer trees without batting an eyelid, which was clearly an attempt to bully Tang Chao because no one knew what allergies were.
As a time traveler, Shen Junheng certainly knows about lacquer tree allergies. The symptoms are generally redness, itching, and blisters of the skin. Severe cases may cause systemic allergic reactions.
However, Shen Junheng did not expose her. She just wanted to be a leisurely spectator.
Xiao Jinhuan became more and more confused: "Allergy? What is allergy?"
As if realizing that she had said the wrong word, Ji Zhixuan's expression flickered for a moment.
She continued seriously, "It's actually a special physical condition that naturally repels certain things, whether it's food, smells, or objects. Once in contact, it will trigger a strange physical reaction, which can even be life-threatening in severe cases."
These words were undoubtedly new knowledge to the ladies present, and they all listened carefully and thought about them.
A noble lady asked, "I vomit uncontrollably whenever I eat crabs. Is it an allergy?"
Ji Zixuan said: "Yes."
"So, I keep coughing when I smell lilies. Is this an allergy?"
Ji Zixuan nodded to her.
…
Several people present had experienced allergies, and several doctors had been unable to explain the cause, let alone prescribe the right medicine. After hearing what Ji Zixuan said, they suddenly understood and couldn't help but regard her as a miracle doctor.
Xiao Jinhuan pondered for a moment, his eyes becoming sharper as he asked in a deep voice, "How come you happen to have medicine to treat the princess's allergies?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately cast questioning glances at Ji Zixuan.
The fact that she was able to diagnose Chen Ying's allergy could be explained by her superb medical skills, but she also happened to carry medicine that could cure her allergy, which really needs a detailed explanation.
Ji Zixuan smiled slightly, took out a jade bottle from her sleeve, and said, "This is a pill that I have recently researched. Keep it with you in case of emergency. This medicine can cure various allergies."
It is barely understandable that the medicine is not just for Chen Ying's symptoms.
However, even in the 21st century when medicine is advanced, there is no medicine that can cure all allergies.
Shen Junheng couldn't help but have a guess and became curious about the medicine in her jade bottle.
Xiao Jinhuan was half-believing and half-doubting her words. After a moment's hesitation, he asked Shen Junheng beside him, "Ah Heng, what do you think?"
Shen Junheng thought to himself, I'll eat and watch at the same time.
As long as Ji Zixuan is not stupid, she will naturally find a way to prove herself after she said this.
"Miss Ji is well versed in medicine and can develop such a miraculous medicine. It is not an exaggeration to call her a miracle doctor." Shen Junheng's eyes fell on Ji Zixuan.
Ji Zixuan's gaze fell on the woman who had just said she was allergic to lilies, and she said, "Your Highness, when I came here, I saw several pots of lilies in the yard that were in full bloom. I wonder if Madam would like to give them a try?"
The woman was willing to give it a try and was about to stand up, but her face fell when she heard what Ji Zixuan said next.
"My medicine is called Worry-Free Pills, and each pill is worth one ounce of gold. If Madam is willing to try it, I would like to give you one."
Is one tael of gold a lot?
It's quite a lot. In the Tang Dynasty, one ounce of gold was worth 8,000 coins, which could buy about 180 dan of rice. According to the price of gold in the 21st century, this is equivalent to about 13,000 yuan in RMB.
But those present here were either princesses or wives of high-ranking officials. One or two ounces of gold was nothing to them. If they really came out to test the medicine for one or two ounces of gold, they would be ridiculed.
Shen Junheng finally understood. No wonder she was so pushy; it turned out she was trying to sell medicine. It was just a shame she'd rushed things a bit too quickly, and the placement of the ad was a bit awkward.
Xiao Jinhuan looked at the woman who was allergic to lilies and said, "Ms. Zhu, are you willing to give it a try?"
Since Princess Chenghuan asked her, it would be difficult for her to refuse.
Zhu stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I am willing to try the medicine."
Xiao Jinhuan said to a maid, "Go and get a pot of lilies from the yard."
"Yes." The maid bowed and retreated. After a while, she came to Zhu with a pot of lilies.
The fragrance of the lilies was rich and refreshing to everyone, but Zhu started coughing violently as soon as she smelled it.
Ji Zixuan immediately poured out a pill from the jade bottle and presented it to Zhu.
Zhu took the pill and put it in her mouth. The man beside her kindly handed her a cup of warm water. She took the warm water and swallowed the pill.
Zhu took the pill and her cough stopped quickly.
Zhu was so surprised that she couldn't help but take the lily from the maid's hand, put it under her nose and sniffed it hard without coughing again.
She could finally enjoy such a rich fragrance to her heart's content.
She was overjoyed and said excitedly, "I don't cough anymore. I can enjoy the fragrance of lilies!"
Ji Zixuan took out another pill and handed it to Zhu, saying with a smile, "Thank you for trying it, Madam. This is a gift, please accept it."
"No need." Zhu didn't reach out to take it. She glanced at Ji Zixuan unnaturally and winked at her maid, saying, "Give this Miss Ji one ounce of gold."
Upon hearing this, Zhu's maid took out one or two taels of gold and handed it to Ji Zixuan, who accepted it calmly.
It’s really amazing!
Everyone was amazed.
