Chapter 394 is in progress
The female doctor Yan was certain that this poison was rare and potent, affecting the five internal organs. Although an antidote had been taken, it had not been completely eliminated, and the remaining poison still had a great lingering effect.
At this point, Xiao Chenggui's lungs and kidneys were both affected, and if the poison was not neutralized, the condition would worsen.
"I think we should detoxify first."
The female doctor looked at the physician Liao and asked for his opinion.
Liao the Physician also noticed the poisoning, but he wasn't sure and dared not speak recklessly. Besides, Chen Shi wasn't strong enough to withstand it, and he worried that if he exaggerated the severity, Chen Shi would collapse first. What if his judgment was wrong, wouldn't it be a complete misunderstanding?
Now that Doctor Yan had brought it up, although he didn't understand why she had to be so direct with Lin Yuesha, he hesitated and nodded, "There are indeed signs of poisoning, but..."
The problem remains the same.
If the toxins are not detoxified, the internal organs will bleed. If the toxins are detoxified, the vomiting of blood and white blood in the lung meridian will continue, which will also be difficult to manage.
If one focuses solely on treating vomiting blood from the lung meridian, the vomiting of white blood will worsen the condition, and there will be no cure.
No matter which approach you take, it will ultimately lead to a dead end; it's just a matter of prolonging the situation.
"Sister Yue Sha, to be honest, neither Doctor Liao nor I have a good solution."
Female doctor Yan and physician Liao discussed the matter, but both shook their heads repeatedly. If they wanted to treat Xiao Chenggui, they had no choice but to go to the capital.
“My uncle has a lot of experience with coughing up blood from the lung meridian, so he might have some confidence in it.”
Right now, if the poison cannot be detoxified, the bleeding in the lung meridian must be addressed first. If he continues to vomit blood like this, he will surely die within three months.
However, this situation was difficult to control with a prescription, leaving Dr. Yan and Physician Liao in a dilemma.
It's possible there are better doctors in the north, but where are those skilled physicians? Since we can't find anyone to treat us, it's better to go to the capital as soon as possible than to wait for a slim hope.
Lin Yuesha lowered her eyes, pondering in her heart. If she was confident, given Doctor Yan's character, she would definitely help her by letting her take her father to the capital. This showed that the problem was thorny, and Doctor Yan had no confidence at all, and couldn't even find a starting point.
What kind of poison did Father take? It was so potent that ordinary people could be poisoned.
Lin Yuesha began to doubt Xiao Chenggui's identity for the first time, but she was not someone who couldn't distinguish between what was important and what was urgent; treating the illness was the key right now.
Lin Yuesha was somewhat timid about going to the capital without any prior preparation.
But... Father's illness can't be delayed any longer.
After the consultation, Dr. Yan wanted to stay a little longer, and seeing this, Physician Liao had no choice but to leave, looking back every few steps.
"Sister Yue Sha, to be honest, there's something strange about your father's poison. It would be best to go to the capital for treatment."
As soon as Physician Liao left, Physician Yan went straight to the point. She was almost certain that no one in the north could cure her; her skill level was considered that of a miracle doctor in the prefectural city.
“When we arrive in the capital, I will personally introduce you to my uncle.”
Xiao Chenggui's symptoms of vomiting blood were very similar to those of her fiancé, who fell from his horse and died vomiting blood. The Jingzhao Yin government suppressed the matter, but Yan Yan knew that the man had died of poisoning.
The Yan family knew the truth, but they forbade her to investigate further. Yan Yan had no clues or connections, and was forced to remarry, so she had no choice but to go far away to the north.
Now, this poison has resurfaced. Although she doesn't know how it relates to an ordinary scholar, she'll follow this lead to find out who poisoned him and where he got the poison.
Yan Yan didn't tell Lin Yuesha these things, also to protect her, because people who know too much don't live long.
"Sister Yan, if we can't find anyone to treat my father's illness, how much longer will he have?"
Lin Yuesha gradually calmed down. She realized that problems should be addressed, and that dwelling on sadness and grief was pointless.
"It can take anywhere from three months to half a year."
Yan Yan looked at Lin Yuesha and said, "Sister Yuesha, you don't need to worry too much. Good people are always blessed. Besides, I can tell from your pulse that your father should have taken a similar antidote."
Therefore, if the priority is to recuperate, there should be no problem living for about six months.
Half a year is a very short time.
It takes about a month to travel from the north to the capital. Once in the capital, she had to rely on connections and ask people for help. Lin Yuesha felt that this journey was very difficult.
"As long as you set a date, I'm ready to leave with you anytime."
The female doctor stood up, picked up her medical kit and shook it. "With my acupuncture skills, I can temporarily control your father's illness."
"Sister Yan, isn't this putting you in a bit of a difficult position?"
Lin Yuesha looked at Doctor Yan with gratitude in her eyes. Back then, Yan Yan left the Yan family and broke with them. Now she went back for her sake, and she was afraid she would be blamed again.
“I’m not doing this entirely for you. I also have things to take care of when I get back. We’re just going the same way, so I’ll do you a favor.”
Yan Yan stood up. It was getting late, and she still had to go to the Bai residence.
Today is Bai Dingfeng's wedding day, and the Bai family is in complete chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Madam Yan poisoned her pregnant concubine, thinking she could get away with it undetected amidst the crowd. However, the concubine was also cunning, rushing straight to Bai Dingfeng's wedding hall and causing a bloodbath on the spot.
Li Ruoxue threw away her veil before marrying into the Bai family, and blood was seen in the wedding hall, which was considered a great omen of bad luck.
Prefect Bai felt extremely unlucky, and to make matters worse, his colleagues who came to observe the ceremony saw it all. He felt utterly humiliated and almost fainted from anger.
The Bai residence was in chaos. Prefect Bai ordered Physician Yan to stay and treat his concubine, making sure to save the child in her womb.
Originally, Prefect Bai didn't care at all about a concubine giving birth to a child, but Yan's actions made him lose face. He was determined to challenge Yan, so he went to the concubine's room that very day to show concern for her.
“My aunt has a bad temper, I need to go and see her again.”
Before leaving, Doctor Yan told Lin Yuesha about what had happened at the Bai residence, giving her a juicy tidbit.
Inside the room, Xiao Chenggui had regained consciousness and was comforting Chen.
Seeing Lin Yuesha return, Xiao Chenggui breathed a sigh of relief and winked at her.
"Mom, my father just woke up and you're already crying and whining, which is disturbing his rest."
Having made the decision, Lin Yuesha knew what she was doing. She put aside all her negative emotions and still had to comfort her mother.
“Your father vomited blood without warning, so he must not have taken his medicine. The flowers I planted under the eaves a few days ago all died. It’s probably because your father watered the flowers with the medicine.”
Unaware of the truth, Chen assumed that Xiao Chenggui's illness had worsened because he refused to drink the medicine due to its bitterness, and kept rambling on and on.
"Mother, the medicine the doctor prescribed earlier is fine to skip."
If the medicine is not right for the condition, drinking more of it will not help.
"But neither Dr. Yan nor Physician Liao had a good solution."
Chen was not stupid; she had already discerned the hidden meaning in their words, but she always tried to avoid it, unwilling to believe it from the bottom of her heart.
"Mother, if the North is no good, there's still the capital. Let's go to the capital together."
Time was of the essence; every day of delay would worsen her father's illness. Lin Yuesha made a decisive decision.
