Snake venom itself has hemostatic, anticoagulant, thrombolytic, and sedative effects, but the dosage must be precise, otherwise it will turn into poison.
Considering that the snake was quite old and its venom was likely extremely potent, Xie Yushu increased the dosage to twenty times the normal amount, and combined it with Ligusticum striatum, borneol, and Artemisia argyi to make one hundred small water drop pills, which she named Zhuifeng Huoluo Pills. She sealed them in a small, opaque brown glass bottle.
Snake gallbladders have an even better effect in clearing heat and detoxifying, so they were made into large detoxifying pills, with one hundred pills made according to the dosage.
Half of the ginseng was used, purified, and made into sixty Rejuvenation Pills. Ordinary ginseng can keep a person alive, let alone this thousand-year-old ginseng. Xie Yushu ruthlessly fed a tiny bit to the rabbit that was about to die, which kept the rabbit alive for two days. The effect was even stronger than adrenaline!
Xie Yushu absolutely refused to eat it all!
Anyway, the ginseng has already been processed, so it won't spoil even if it's stored for several more years!
With these few life-saving items, you'll be able to survive no matter what happens!
I had some borneol and Sichuan lovage root left over, so I made two bottles of quick-acting heart medicine, thinking that it would be convenient to give them to any heart patients who came for treatment.
After she finished these tasks, the steamed buns were all evenly covered with a layer of green mold. She then called over the Liu family father and his two sons to learn how to extract and make the product.
While making medicine, the four masters and their apprentices also conducted experiments on mice they had caught beforehand. After seven or eight days of work, they confirmed that the extracted antibiotic was effective and officially made it into tablets and injections. They still used the name penicillin and repeatedly instructed that allergy tests must be performed before administering the medicine to patients!
Time always flies when you're busy.
In the meantime, Xie Tianqi and Liu Qiang came over after returning from their hometown. They brought Xie Yushu some New Year's goods from home and said that everyone liked the glass they brought back. Some of the more ambitious ones had already started saving money to buy glass and sell it!
Before they knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Xie Yushu handed over the task of packing the medicine to her three apprentices and then took Xiao Haitang, Chu Jinyu, Qu Xiaodie, Nanxing, Chunyu, and Qiushuang to the city to see the lanterns.
Although the weather was cold, it couldn't dampen the festive spirit!
Looking at the lanterns of various shapes on the street, Xie Yushu once again marveled at the wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients!
Whether it's rabbits, puppies, or flowers, they are all made to life. Especially the carousel, which can display six images when it spins, and it is in no way inferior to modern craftsmanship!
This group of girls were all naive and inexperienced! They were lucky to have made it this far. Xie Yushu waved her hand and bought a lantern for each of them! Not only were Xiao Haitang and Chu Jinyu happy, but Qu Xiaodie and Nanxing were also overjoyed, looking at the lanterns from all angles!
As the group strolled around, they ran into Han Zhongyu. Xie Tianqi and the others were on duty and hadn't come.
After strolling around for a while, they started eating glutinous rice balls together on the street. It was a lively day, and Han Zhongyu didn't hold back anymore. He ate while talking to Xie Yushu.
As they were enjoying their meal, Lanting suddenly came over and whispered something to Han Zhongyu. Han Zhongyu replied...
"Find out which group they are from!"
Lanting then made a hand gesture, and two more bodyguards disappeared into the crowd!
Xie Yushu asked
"What's wrong?"
"It's alright. Lan Ting's men have noticed someone following us from a distance. It's probably because of the glass that caused the commotion, or perhaps Chu Mingzhu has taken action again!"
I asked Lanting to check, and we should have the results soon!
"oh!"
Xie Yushu wasn't surprised. She had anticipated that the glass would attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. As for Chu Mingzhu, from the first time she sent assassins, it was destined that there would be no peace between the two of them. She had suffered two losses at her hands. Even a pig would have sent someone to investigate. Besides, didn't Old Madam Xiao go to the capital to ask her to save Xiao Yuanhang? If Chu Mingzhu intended to take action, there should be some movement by now!
Thinking of this, Xie Yushu couldn't help but ask...
"Do you think Chu Mingzhu would be stupid enough to actually come and rescue Xiao Yuanhang?"
"Hmm, it's hard to say. Based on her past practices, it's possible, but she's already suffered twice. If she were to ask her sister, the Imperial Concubine Chu, for help, Imperial Concubine Chu would definitely stop her. It depends on the situation!"
"That's right. Those who can regain favor are all extraordinary. She wouldn't do anything without personal gain!"
Lanting's efficiency was indeed outstanding. In less than half an hour, they had a result: they had caught one of them. He was sent by Chu Mingzhu to investigate Xiao Yuanhang's case and, incidentally, to find out about some of their missing brothers!
Another person saw Lanting and the others and ran away from afar; judging from their movements, they must have received professional training.
Moreover, people on the street have been inquiring about Yuquan Villa and the glass in the past few days!
Having obtained the information they wanted, Chu Mingzhu's men were immediately sent to the death row to keep the others company. The one who escaped wasn't pursued relentlessly; after all, they hadn't broken the law, and even if the person wasn't sent by Consort Chu, she must have known. Detaining him directly wouldn't be appropriate; it wasn't time to escalate the conflict!
Moreover, the information he wanted to find out wasn't anything top secret, so spending so much effort chasing after him was really overkill!
Han Zhongyu unconsciously spoke up to remind him.
"It seems they're about to make a move, you need to be careful!"
I'll leave two bodyguards for you!
"No need! Lanting has trained Nanxing and the others quite well, it's just that they're all with me today and can't keep an eye on the outside!"
If they can't protect me, sending two more won't make a difference!
Don't worry, I'm not one to be trifled with either. If she wants to make a move, then let's see who goes first!
"Alright, just have someone come to me anytime if anything happens!"
Oh, by the way, this is my personal jade pendant. You can take it; it can be used to command the guards and secret agents in my residence. If something happens that they can't handle, even if I'm not around, you can directly go to the Han residence to call for help!
"That's great! Thanks!"
Seeing that Han Zhongyu was still worried, Xie Yushu simply took the jade pendant!
Even though we may not necessarily need it, it's still heartwarming to know that someone cares!
As night deepened, Xiao Haitang and Chu Jinyu had finished their fun, so Han Zhongyu escorted Xie Yushu and her group back to the manor before heading home himself.
Meanwhile, the spy who had narrowly escaped from Lanting's clutches dared not linger in Tai'an Prefecture any longer. He traveled day and night to return to the Fifth Prince's residence and told the Fifth Prince everything he had learned.
Furthermore, it was mentioned that the people Chu Mingzhu sent had been discovered, and Xie Yushu might have learned of Chu Mingzhu's actions.
The Fifth Prince sighed and cursed.
"More trouble than they're worth!"
Then he hurriedly went to the palace again.
When Consort Chu heard that the Fifth Prince had arrived, she dismissed all the palace maids, leaving only her trusted head maid behind.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, the Fifth Prince called out "Mother Consort" and sat down opposite Consort Chu, then spoke directly.
"I've come to tell my mother about the situation in Tai'an Prefecture."
Consort Chu asked
"The people we sent have returned? What did they say?"
The Fifth Prince first sighed, then frowned and said...
"I've been thinking about this Xie Yushu all the way here, and I still find her somewhat unbelievable!"
