Chapter 357: Vomiting Blood for No Reason



Chapter 357: Vomiting Blood for No Reason

"Very good!"

When Wen Yan received the pigeon message from Yang Lie, his face immediately showed joy.

"The Marquis said they have already arrived at Shili Pavilion, and should be able to reach the Marquis' Mansion at midnight tonight!"

The situation in the Marquis' Mansion is in chaos now, and it is exactly when a backbone is needed.

Yang Lie's return so quickly was undoubtedly encouraging news.

Wen Yan had someone spread the news to everyone in the mansion, and sent someone to keep an eye on Song Yuqiu to see when she woke up.

He immediately left the house and headed for the city gate.

Nanyang was heavily guarded, and after nightfall the city gates could not be opened without special orders, not even by the lord of the city.

However, Marquis Changxing and his men arrived at 11:00 p.m., so they had to have someone to meet them in the city before they could enter.

Ever since Zhao Yiyan learned about Song Yuqiu's wealthy family background, he was stunned for a while.

It was not until he heard the news that Yang Lie was about to return that he regained his spirits.

So what if Song Yuqiu is rich? She still can't be loved by her husband, right?

As long as he keeps the Marquis firmly under his control, won't she still be at his mercy?

Thinking of this, she immediately called a trusted doctor and handed him the prescription that Mei'er had handed over. "Take a look. Is there anything wrong with this prescription?"

The doctor looked at it carefully several times, with deep wrinkles between his brows, "This prescription is so strange..."

Zhao Yi asked hurriedly, "What's so strange about this? Is it a fake prescription given by Song Yuqiu?"

"This prescription doesn't look like a common medicine for treating epidemics, but it is indeed a life-saving medicine..."

When asked to describe specifically what was wrong, he couldn't say.

But there was one thing he was sure of, that the prescription was fine.

Even the dosage and proportion of the medicine are perfect.

Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then there is a medicine called Bai Lei in this prescription. Can it be replaced with another medicine?"

The doctor thought for a moment and said, "Bai Lei is specifically used to invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. There are other herbs that can replace it, but if I replace it with other herbs, I'm afraid it will counteract the other herbs in this prescription. So, I'll try to pick a herb that has a similar effect to Bai Lei as a substitute."

"In that case, thanks to Dr. Lao!"

In an instant, Zhao Yi's expression suddenly became relaxed.

She now urgently needs to show some achievements to win the Marquis to her side.

At the same time, she must also find a way to eliminate the hatred of the officials towards her and win back the hearts of the people.

And curing everyone is undoubtedly the fastest, most effective and two-birds-at-one-stone approach!

Soon, the doctor decided to use Atractylodes to replace Bai Lei. Not only was it cheap, but there was also a lot of stock in the pharmacy, so there was no need to go to those herbal medicine merchants for help.

Zhao Yi immediately asked someone to set up a big pot in the yard and light a fire to boil the medicine.

He also said to all the infected people in a very emotional voice: "Don't panic, I will make medicine to save you right away!"

These words were like a refreshing rain after a long drought, which made everyone's hearts suddenly warm up and in the blink of an eye, all the previous dissatisfaction towards Zhao Yi was washed away.

At the critical moment of life and death, whoever can save their lives will be their benefactor!

Soon, the fragrance of medicine wafted out of the yard.

Song Yuqiu was drinking scented tea and eating melon seeds with her sister Zhuoning when Mei'er ran into the house in a hurry.

"Madam, it's already so late, you still have time to eat melon seeds? The medicine has already been boiled over there!"

"If they don't have all the medicine, what are they boiling?" Song Yuqiu disagreed.

Although in terms of intelligence, she is not as good as her own sister Zhuo Ning.

But when it comes to practicing medicine, she is still somewhat confident.

The medicine given to the stewards looked serious, but in fact it did not cause any harm to the body.

When a doctor sees the symptoms, he will definitely think of an epidemic.

She had looked up information before coming here and knew that no effective medicine against epidemics had been invented in this era.

So the doctors were not sure they could cure the disease, and in the end they had to use the medicine she prescribed.

She also put a lot of thought into the prescription she wrote.

Among them, the medicine Bailei is difficult to collect and prepare, so its price is very high and the stock is very limited.

Therefore, it was easy for her to join forces with major medicinal material dealers to plunder all of Nanyang and the nearby Bailei.

Moreover, there are many medicinal herbs with similar medicinal properties to Bai Lei, and it will not delay the daily medication of ordinary people.

Thinking of the similar medicinal properties, Song Yuqiu suddenly realized, "Could they have used other medicinal herbs to replace Bai Lei?"

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows and asked her, "What will happen if I use the alternative medicine?"

Song Yuqiu waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal, it's just that my seven orifices will bleed and I'll spit out black blood."

"Huh?" Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Is this also called "not how"?

Song Yuqiu glanced outside the house and said in a low voice, "Sister Zhuoning, didn't you ask me to get you some vomiting blood pills? I don't want to waste money and let those people get away with it."

Those people were fine to begin with and didn't need to take any medicine.

She spent so much money to buy the medicine from various major medicine vendors, but she was planning to secretly keep some of it and give it to Xie Zhuoning in the future.

Those medicines were all life-sustaining drugs, but she used the principle of mutual promotion and restraint between medicines to achieve an ingenious balance in the prescription.

If you take it alone, it is just a tonic. If you drink ginseng soup or other tonic foods at the same time, you will start vomiting blood immediately due to over-nourishment.

Wouldn't it be much more convenient for her to spit out blood for fun in the future?

Now Zhao Yi replaced Bai Lei with other herbs of similar properties, breaking the balance she had cleverly set. Those people drank the tonic, so wouldn't they bleed?

Wait for the body to digest it and you will be fine in two days.

After Xie Zhuoning heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "In that case, then let Zhao Yi go and fight with him."

The more trouble she made, the bigger the fuss she made, the better it was for them.

Things got out of hand faster than expected.

In order to show his respect, Zhao Yi personally handed bowls of medicine to everyone after the medicine was ready.

"Be careful, it's hot."

"Don't worry, everyone has it."

"Manager Li, how is your son? Is he feeling better?"

The gentle, considerate and caring look moved everyone to tears.

But soon, someone noticed something was wrong.

Two streams of hot liquid gushed out of his nose. He reached out his hand to wipe them away and was shocked. "Blood...blood..."

Not only did they have nosebleeds, but some people also felt a fishy and sweet taste rising up in their throats, and then they vomited a large mouthful of black blood with a "wow"!

And this was not an isolated case. Soon, all the people who took the medicine showed reactions.

"What's going on? Why is it getting worse?"

"Dad, am I going to die?"

"This is fake medicine! She gave us fake medicine!"

No one knew who started shouting first, but a group of people immediately rushed towards Zhao Yi with grim looks on their faces.

"Listen to my explanation...Listen to me...Ah!"

She quickly hid behind a group of guards and tried to say something to comfort him, but no one listened to her.

In the chaos, someone threw a fist-sized stone from midair, hitting her right on the head.

In an instant, blood flowed down his forehead and cheeks.

She reached out her hand and felt blood all over it. She gritted her teeth in anger and her face was sharp.

She asked someone to bring the doctor over, and she scolded him, "Didn't you say the prescription was fine? What's going on?"
