The suturing lasted for nearly an hour, and the blood and water changed back and forth countless times. Finally, the imperial physician came out from behind the screen.
"Your Highness, it's done."
Wen Yu asked, "How is he?"
The imperial physician said, "It was a close call. The arrow almost hit his heart, and the Prime Minister pulled the arrow out with the skin and flesh without authorization, causing serious secondary damage. It's a miracle that the Prime Minister hadn't lost too much blood and fainted when I came here! I have only heard of such a thing happening to General Lu in all these years."
Wen Yu was stunned: "Lu Ren?"
"Yes."
Wen Yu suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a small scar on the left side of Lu Ren's chest, but it was very faint and could not even be seen if you didn't touch it.
"Princess, the Prime Minister will stay in this clinic to recuperate for the next few days. I will come here on time every day. You are not allowed to move around at will. I will return to the Prime Minister's Mansion when his wound is better." The imperial physician instructed.
Wen Yu nodded, walked around the screen and went in, but found that Lin Yuzhi's face was blushing and something was wrong.
She reached out and touched it, and it was very hot.
"He has a fever."
The imperial physician was shocked when he heard this: "What? There wasn't any just now!"
As he spoke, he touched Lin Yuzhi's forehead and hurriedly felt his pulse, then murmured, "It's over... It's not good..."
"What?" Wen Yu was surprised. "Didn't you just say that it was safe? How did it become dangerous again?"
"Princess, the Prime Minister didn't have a fever just now!"
The imperial physician took out a white porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out a marble-sized pill, and then stuffed it into Lin Yuzhi's mouth.
He said solemnly: "If the fever goes down tonight, you can survive. If the fever doesn't go down..."
Although it is not fully expressed, everything is implied.
By this time, Wen Yu had realized that Lin Yuzhi had a fever due to a wound infection, and the liquor sprayed by the imperial physician was of little use.
But there were no antibiotics in ancient times, so people could only rely on endurance. If they could make it through, then everything would be fine. If they couldn’t, they would just have to eat the feast.
She closed her eyes, took a clean towel from the side, soaked it in cold water, and applied it to Lin Yuzhi's forehead.
"Princess, let me take care of this." Liu Chun said quickly.
Wen Yu paced to the side. Antibiotics...
I learned before that it was unlikely to extract penicillin in ancient times, but there was still one thing that might have a chance of being produced: allicin.
Even if she hadn't actually done it, she had to give it a try. She couldn't just watch Lin Yuzhi die.
Although he didn't need to block this arrow.
"Liuchun, go buy some garlic, the more the better."
Liu Chun was dumbfounded: "Ah? Garlic?"
"Yes, garlic."
Then we need to get some high-concentration ethanol. Distillation technology existed in ancient times, and Dasheng should have had it as well...
At this time, Lu Ren suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Wen Yu, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Princess, I went back to the mansion and brought something here. Prime Minister Lin will definitely be able to use it."
As he spoke, he placed the jar of wine in his hand on the table.
Lu Ren stepped forward and glanced at Lin Yuzhi: "I knew he would have a fever."
"Princess, I was once seriously wounded by an arrow, but I have a friend in Beiyang Pass who is known as a miracle doctor. He has a magic medicine that is extremely effective for arrow wounds."
Wen Yu's eyes were fixed on the wine jar. She opened it and smelled it, and her eyes lit up. This smell - ethanol! And it was a very high concentration!
It's like giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy.
Lu Ren said: "Crush a large amount of garlic and soak it in this magic medicine for half an hour, then drink it and apply it externally. The effect is very good."
Wen Yu raised the corners of her lips: "Liuchun, did you hear me? Go buy some garlic! Buy as much as you can!"
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
Lu Ren took Wen Yu's hand and said, "Don't worry, Princess. Prime Minister Lin will be fine."
Wen Yu nodded, then hugged Lu Ren's neck and kissed him fiercely: "You can share this princess' worries, reward!"
Lu Ren's ears blushed slightly: "Princess, the imperial physician is still here."
Imperial Physician: ...
The imperial physician wisely left the room. The miracle doctor that General Lu mentioned must be the one who "could not save three people". This was his miracle medicine, so he did not need to worry too much about Prime Minister Lin's safety.
Although the garlic therapy is unheard of, once Prime Minister Lin is out of danger, he can ask General Lu for advice.
Moreover, when General Lu came, the princess had already asked her maid to buy garlic. Could it be that the princess also knew about this garlic therapy early on?
There was some confusion in the doctor's eyes.
Wen Yu was naturally also somewhat interested in this miracle doctor. He could produce alcohol of such a high purity and also knew that allicin could kill bacteria. He was indeed a remarkable person, worthy of being a miracle doctor.
For a few seconds she even wondered if this miracle doctor had also traveled through time, but she quickly dismissed the idea. If he had really traveled through time, what Lu Ren would have brought today would not be alcohol and garlic, but penicillin.
Even in ancient times, there were many geniuses, so it is not surprising that they figured out the uses of allicin.
"I would like to meet this miraculous doctor who can bring people back to health if I have the chance."
Lu Ren smiled and said, "He swore that he would not leave Beiyang Pass."
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows: "Why?"
"He has never told me."
At this time, Liuchun came back, followed by seven or eight people, each holding a lot of garlic in their hands.
Liu Chun called out, "You guys, peel all the garlic, then crush it and put it aside. Each of you will get a reward of one or two taels of silver."
Seven or eight people all looked very happy. There was such a good thing? They could get one or two taels of silver for pounding garlic? They would pound garlic until they could no longer buy garlic in Shengjing City!
"Thank you, girl! Thank you, girl! Let's get started!"
Wen Yu chuckled upon seeing this, look how clever this girl Liuchun is.
There is strength in numbers. In less than a quarter of an hour, seven or eight people had finished crushing all the garlic.
Liu Chun instructed them to put the mashed garlic into the wine jars, and then distributed the reward money and sent them away.
"Girl, if you encounter such good things again in the future, please come to us again!" Several people left reluctantly, holding a tael of silver and smiling from ear to ear.
The next step is to wait for the mashed garlic to soak in the alcohol for half an hour.
During this period, Liu Chun changed Lin Yuzhi's towel several times. Every time he took the towel off, it was already a little hot, which shows how high the temperature of his forehead was.
Lu Ren asked, "Is the princess worried about Prime Minister Lin?"
Wen Yu had a headache after hearing this: "This person is usually very quiet, but who knows why he suddenly came to his senses today and blocked the arrow for me? I'm totally confused. With you here, how can that arrow hurt me?"
Lu Ren looked at the screen and murmured in his heart: Maybe... I am too concerned and confused.
"If I really don't care about him, it would make me look cold-blooded and heartless, but I will feel relieved when he wakes up. After all, Lin Yuzhi is loyal."
"Loyal?" Lu Ren smiled inexplicably, "Maybe."
