The old Chinese medicine doctor's face changed drastically, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Old Master Yu didn't force her, and turned back to speak to Jiang Zhiyuan: "Acupuncture and medicinal bath, a total of seven times, once a day, will basically clear away most of the toxins! The remaining toxins will be completely cleared away after taking medicine for another seven days! After seven days, bring her to see me again, and I will prescribe some medicine to strengthen her body and nourish her health."
"Your wife suffered a lot in her childhood. Although she has made up for it with good food and drink in the past two years, she has still lost too much! Take good care of herself for a month or two, and I guarantee you will have two children within three years after marriage!"
That's just a joke.
Even though Jiang Zhiyuan seemed very composed, his ears turned red when this topic came up, but he remained calm on the surface: "Then I'll have to trouble Elder Yu!"
She held back for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "When will Yan Yan wake up?"
Old Yu couldn't help but laugh: "You child, you're not a blockhead after all! Who was it that said you'd probably become a monk someday? Haven't you come to your senses now?"
Jiang Zhiyuan pursed his lips, remaining expressionless as Old Yu mocked him.
Fortunately, Old Master Yu was a kind man. He only smiled for a while before saying, "After today's acupuncture and medicated bath, you should wake up tonight! After you wake up, drink your medicine first, and then you can eat something, like some millet porridge. Don't eat anything else, especially oily or greasy food. You must abstain from it for seven days!"
Jiang Zhiyuan nodded repeatedly.
Old Yu became interested when he saw Jiang Zhiyuan's appearance. He noticed that besides Xu Ningyan, who was lying unconscious, there were only the two of them left in the ward.
The old Chinese medicine doctor had secretly slipped out sometime earlier and even closed the door behind him.
Then he said, "What exactly happened? How could your wife, at such a young age, suffer so much? This poison is extremely insidious. If it weren't for me and you finding those two prescriptions, she would probably be in grave danger! Even if she could be saved, her body would be ruined! Fortunately, your wife's poisoning wasn't too severe. If she had eaten even a single extra bite of those two things, I'm afraid even a god couldn't have saved her!"
Jiang Zhiyuan's expression was grave: "We are currently investigating! The person who poisoned us is dead, but the mastermind has not yet been found!"
Old Yu sighed, glanced at Xu Ningyan, and lowered his voice: "These two poisons were not made by one person!"
Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes sharpened, and his whole body tensed up like an arrow about to be released from a bow: "What do you mean by that? Didn't you say that two poisons mixed together form a deadly poison?"
Old Yu pointed to the brown sugar water: "It seems like the two poisons are mixed together to cause poisoning, but that's not the case. The poison in the brown sugar water is more subtle and insidious. It can't be seen immediately, but once poisoned, it will linger in the internal organs and destroy a person's body."
"The poison on the pastries is the same poison from those two recipes. It's similar to snake venom. A small dose might save you, but a large dose will kill you on the spot!"
"The poison in the sugar water has been seen in the secret records of imperial physicians left over from the previous dynasty."
Master Yu's advice has reached its peak here.
He only said that because of his past relationship with Jiang Yuan's family.
Otherwise, given his character, he would have simply saved people without saying a word.
Jiang Zhiyuan's face turned ashen, but he quickly regained his composure, knowing he couldn't say anything more. He nodded to Elder Yu, "I understand! Thank you, Elder Yu!"
Old Yu nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair to rest.
Jiang Zhiyuan took a few deep breaths to suppress his raging anger. Seeing that his expression had calmed down, he walked out of the ward.
Jiang Zhixing had been standing guard at the door. When Jiang Zhiyuan came out, he looked at him with concern.
Jiang Zhiyuan whispered, "I have urgent business to attend to at the unit. You go into the ward and stay with Old Yu and your sister-in-law. I'll be back soon after I'm done. Everything here is in your hands!"
Jiang Zhixing quickly realized what was going on and his expression turned serious: "Don't worry, big brother, leave this to me!"
Jiang Zhiyuan patted Jiang Zhixing on the shoulder, returned to the ward, glanced at Xu Ningyan again, and strode out of the ward.
After he had walked away, Old Master Yu opened his eyes and shook his head: This ancient tree has blossomed, its entire heart devoted to this little girl. Who was so audacious as to hurt this tree's beloved? As a compassionate healer, he would first offer his silent condolences for that person; he feared they would suffer a terrible fate.
Jiang Zhiyuan left in a hurry and returned quickly!
When he returned, Xu Ningyan had just finished taking her medicine when a large wooden tub was brought into the ward. Jiang Yuan and two female nurses were about to change Xu Ningyan's clothes and put her into the tub filled with medicine.
To help her absorb as much of the medicine as possible and expel the toxins from her body, Xu Ningyan was only wearing a tank top and shorts.
When Jiang Zhiyuan came in, Jiang Yuan was taken aback. Before she could scold him, the usually composed Jiang Zhiyuan turned around with a flushed face.
She glared at her son's retreating back, then signaled to the nurses to help put him into the wooden tub.
The liquid was pitch black, and when a person submerged in it, it completely covered their skin and everything else underwater. Jiang Yuan then had a sheet added on top to cover the liquid and Xu Ningyan's body, so that only his head was visible.
This made Jiang Zhiyuan turn his head.
Jiang Zhiyuan turned his head, his face still flushed, and his eyes looking somewhat uneasy.
Jiang Yuan said irritably, "You stay here and watch over Xiao Yan, making sure she doesn't slip down and choke on the water! Check the temperature of the medicine every half hour, and if it's not warm enough, call someone to add more."
Jiang Zhiyuan nodded hurriedly, obediently moved a stool over, and sat down to keep watch.
Jiang Yuan had other things to do, so she gave a few instructions and left in a hurry.
After removing the needles, Master Yu instructed on taking a bath, left his disciples behind, and then departed.
To avoid suspicion, Jiang Zhixing stayed outside the door and didn't come in. He only dared to call out to the inside from the doorway: "Big brother, it's almost lunchtime. Should I buy you something later?"
Jiang Zhiyuan was in no mood to eat and just mumbled "whatever."
All her attention was focused on Xu Ningyan.
At first, Xu Ningyan leaned quietly against the wooden tub. About half an hour later, she showed signs of pain even in her unconscious state. Her brows were furrowed, and her arm, which was soaking in the medicinal liquid, couldn't help but lift up, and she also lurched upwards.
Jiang Zhiyuan quickly pressed her down into the wooden tub, preventing her from getting up.
In the struggle, the bed sheet that was originally draped over Xu Ningyan was pulled off. Jiang Zhiyuan pressed one hand tightly on Xu Ningyan's shoulder, and with the other hand, he restrained Xu Ningyan's flailing arm.
Xu Ningyan couldn't use her hands or legs to exert any strength, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but shake her head.
The soft strands of hair brushed against Jiang Zhiyuan's face, neck, and arms, making him feel itchy and a little uncomfortable.
However, Jiang Zhiyuan could endure all of this until those warm, smooth lips landed on his lowered neck, earlobe, and chin, at which point Jiang Zhiyuan's hands involuntarily tightened—
