Chapter 170 Mercury Poisoning



Ning Xi'er was attacked from both sides, and when her hands got tired, Bai Zhi handed her the newly retrieved spiritual spring liquid to drink without her having to ask.

Xu Yan's once refined and fair face was now covered in bruises and swollen like a pig's head.

He stopped covering his groin, because the pain had become so intense that he could no longer tell whether the pain was worse on his face or in his groin.

After drinking the spiritual spring liquid, Ning Xi'er's soreness in her hands disappeared completely.

She grabbed Xu Yan's wrist, took out a dagger from his sleeve, cut her finger, and took out a small porcelain bottle from her spatial storage, filling the bottle to the brim.

He then took out another empty porcelain bottle and handed it to Xuanfeng, asking him to collect a bottle of blood for Eunuch Xu as well.

Mentioning Eunuch Xu...

Xu Yan's unreadable eyes finally moved, a strange light flashing across them.

Although it was only for a moment, Ning Xi'er still managed to catch it.

Xu Yan's character is so different from that of Eunuch Xu.

Logically speaking, Xu Gonggong's family was so poor that they sold their own son to the palace to be castrated...

Such families, though unlikely to produce outstanding sons, are unlikely to produce anyone truly wicked or evil, except perhaps those who become outlaws.

Moreover, Xu Yan was carefully raised by his grandfather for over ten years after being adopted, so he wouldn't have been spoiled...

Unless, it was a malignant tumor from the beginning, and was handed over to Eunuch Xu.

In ancient times, methods of kinship recognition were very limited. Besides blood tests, identification by familiar people based on appearance and physical characteristics, and verification through household registration documents and other evidence...

Unfortunately, Mr. Xu had been separated from his family for several years and was not very familiar with his "nephew's" situation...

They are not direct blood relatives and cannot undergo a blood test to determine kinship.

There are many similar people in the world, not to mention that Xu Yan was still young when he was found. Like most orphans, he was thin and pale, and it was impossible to tell them apart.

Household registration documents are the easiest place to tamper with.

Since Xie Zhun had already diverted Xu Yan's troops along the way, transferring him to Xiude...

It must be a sure thing, but we're just missing solid evidence.

The people behind the scenes, and Xu Yan on the ground, were well aware of this. As long as no one could provide concrete evidence that he wasn't Xu Gonggong's biological nephew...

He always has a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, he is...

You can't kill me!

Worried that Ning Xi'er might harm him after taking his blood, Xu Yan suddenly shouted.

No longer caring about her previous pride, Ning Xi'er raised her knife and brought it down, fearing she might finish speaking.

The person in front of him was both righteous and wicked, and Xu Yan couldn't guess what she would do next.

"oh?"

Ning Xi'er scoffed, "Why don't you tell me why I can't kill you?"

Xu Yan suddenly remembered that on the mountaintop where he fought the bandits, in order to prevent Xie Zhun from being rescued, the poison in his body was neutralized...

Bringing Cang Shu was a ploy to harm Chao Ningxi'er...

He feared that speaking up now, even if he revealed the truth, might only hasten his death...

So he fell silent, pondering a more reasonable explanation in his mind...

Xuanfeng rushed back and presented Ning Xier with the porcelain bottle filled with Eunuch Xu's blood.

Seeing that Xu Yan had stopped talking, Ning Xi'er handed him over to Xuan Feng and the other guards, and then returned to her room, leaving Bai Zhi and Gan Cao to guard outside.

She quickly entered the medical space, put the blood containing Eunuch Xu into a test tube, and divided it in two.

One sample was used for blood testing, and the other was compared with Xu Yan's blood sample.

While waiting for the results, Ning Xi'er lay down on the lab desk and took a nap.

"Click click click..."

The test and examination results are automatically bound into two A4 booklets.

Ning Xi'er opened it, and even though she had expected it, she still felt weak in her limbs...

She slowly backed away, leaned on the desk, and sat down, waiting for the data from the two reports, her breathing rapid.

Based on the diagnosis in the test report, Ning Xi'er quickly prepared the medicine and the corresponding traditional Chinese medicine, took out more than twenty doses, and left the space.

Just as she was about to step out of the space, she went back in.

Manually open the report and remove the conclusion sheet separately.

After adjusting the font, I manually typed a new report on the computer and rebound it.

Ning Xi'er threw the original piece of paper into the shredder without looking back.

Aside from the space, Ning Xi'er went straight to Eunuch Xu's room.

After receiving the antidote injection, Ning Xi'er had Xuan Shuang help her drink the nutrient solution from the three water bags. She was still shaken.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time!

Ning Xi'er doesn't know if Xu Yan will cry if Eunuch Xu passes away, but Xie Zhun will definitely be sad for a long time...

Since being exiled, Eunuch Xu has taken good care of Ning Xi'er. If something unexpected were to happen, Ning Xi'er would be distressed.

Even in the past, when medical technology was highly advanced, there was still no cure for mercury poisoning.

We can only try our best to alleviate the symptoms, depending on the severity of the poisoning.

Even if the condition is relieved, it can trigger many diseases and cancers, resulting in a very short survival period for patients.

Test results showed that Mr. Xu's mercury levels were high, but he has not yet shown any symptoms...

It's possible that Xu Yan added small amounts multiple times, subtly and gradually, until the amount accumulated...

Even if some changes occur in his body, they are gradual, and Mr. Xu himself may not even have noticed them.

Fortunately, Ning Xi'er's medical skills can be tested in the space, so they still have a chance!

Fortunately, Ning Xi'er had a universal antidote injection that could protect Eunuch Xu's heart.

Although the damage is irreversible and lifespan is shortened, Ning Xi'er still has the Spirit Spring. She can give some to Eunuch Xu every day to gradually counteract and reduce the damage caused by mercury to the body.
