Chapter 16 How would you deal with the murderer?
Qiwu Garden.
Since returning from the main courtyard, Yun Si has been busy.
Yun Si can now recite the medical information recorded in the journal by heart, but there are many things she doesn't understand and needs further exploration and practice.
Among them are records about Gu worms.
For some reason, when she saw these contents, even though it was her first time trying it, it felt as if she had done it many times before. Not only was her technique skillful, but she was also incredibly confident.
Just like when she first concocted the wound medicine, she hadn't even tried it herself, yet she dared to give it to Granny Qian and Mu Ze to use.
As it turned out, her inexplicable confidence did not disappoint her.
"Master, we have brought back everything you requested."
Lansing returned carrying large and small bags, but when she reached the entrance of the pharmacy, she didn't go in.
Because Yun Si had told them that there were many dangerous things in this pharmacy, including the most deadly poison, scattered throughout the room.
To avoid accidental injury, they should not be allowed to enter this room without permission.
Upon hearing this, the two immediately erected a wooden sign in front of their door.
Danger! Trespassers will be held responsible for any consequences.
When Yun Si saw it, she just smiled and didn't take the sign away.
This is perfect; it prevents people from going in and touching her things, and if anything happens, she won't have to take responsibility.
Yun Si is grinding new medicinal powder.
She ran out of the medicine she had prescribed a while ago, and now she needs to modify the prescription before continuing to take it.
She got up, took the bundle, placed it on the table, and opened it to check its contents.
These are all medical tools recorded in the notes.
She drew up blueprints; some could be made, some could be made but not replicated, and some were completely impossible to make.
Some small knives are very exquisite.
There are also specially made silver needles of various sizes.
The rest were medicinal herbs, all kinds of common and uncommon, precious and ordinary, I bought them all.
Yun Si used all of her dowry to cover these expenses.
Her dowry was an astronomical sum.
When she got married, her parents gave her a share, her eldest brother and sister-in-law gave her a share, her second brother also gave her a share, and her three uncles each gave her a share.
The largest portion was given by my maternal grandparents.
I've never calculated the total amount, but it's a lot, so much that even Lansing and Lu Yu don't hesitate to buy anything.
When the Yongyi Marquis's mansion was in trouble, the Yongyi Marquis's wife was worried that it would implicate her maternal grandparents' family. On the day she received the news, the first thing she did was to sever ties with her maternal grandparents' family, and the second thing she did was to sever ties with Yun Si.
Although the crime they were falsely accused of would not affect their maternal family or their married daughter, they still did not hesitate to sever ties, even though it was painful, in order to cut off any potential trouble and to be on the safe side.
So strictly speaking, after Yun Si and Qin Ye divorced, she was not the daughter of a disgraced official; at most, she was an orphan.
However, in Yun Si's heart, she could never sever ties with her parents and relatives. She believed that they would be reunited soon.
After organizing all the medicinal materials, Yun Si prepared a powder that could attract Gu worms according to the method in the handbook, and also made a few pills to treat internal injuries, which Granny Qian might need.
After making these preparations, she planned to rest for a while and recharge her energy so that she could secretly perform the Gu ritual for Granny Qian that night.
The longer the worm stays inside her body, the greater the danger she will face.
Just as Yun Si put the pills into the porcelain bottle, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"Master Yun!"
It is Doctor Ji.
Doctor Ji, unusually losing his composure, had cold sweat beading on his forehead: "Granny Qian's Gu poison has flared up, and her life is in danger at any moment. Is it true that you have a way to cure the Gu?"
"I have a way!"
Yun Si picked up her medicine box and left, saying, "Let's talk as we walk."
In the side courtyard, Granny Qian lay on the bed, her face pale and purplish, her limbs twitching uncontrollably.
Chun Tao was wiping the black blood seeping from her ears and nose with a handkerchief when she saw Doctor Ji come in. She immediately looked up as if she had seen a savior: "Doctor Ji, Granny is bleeding a lot of black blood, what should we do?"
Yun Si quickly stepped forward and placed her fingertips on Granny Qian's pulse.
The pulse was disordered and numb, and tiny bumps could be faintly seen moving under the skin.
This is a worm gnawing at her skin, flesh, and internal organs.
"Go fetch a basin of warm water, and also a jar of strong liquor."
As she gave the instructions, Yun Si quickly opened her medicine box: "Doctor Ji, come and lend a hand, help me hold down the old woman."
Chuntao and Chunmei initially distrusted Yunsi, but seeing Yunsi's decisive actions and the fact that Doctor Ji was actually cooperating with her and pressing down on Granny Qian, the two realized what was happening and hurriedly prepared warm water and strong liquor.
Just as Doctor Ji made his move, Granny Qian suddenly sprang into action, struggling with immense strength.
Yun Si reacted quickly, precisely inserting a silver needle into the acupoint on the back of Qian Mama's neck, causing her to collapse instantly.
"This is..." Doctor Ji's eyes widened.
If there was any doubt before, now Doctor Ji was only shocked.
"Acupuncture technique to temporarily seal the activity of Gu worms."
As Yun Si spoke, she deftly sliced open the tips of Granny Qian's ten fingers, and black blood immediately gushed out.
She sprinkled the prepared powder on the wound, and a strange, fishy smell instantly filled the air.
In a short while, the bumps under Granny Qian's skin began to converge toward her fingertips.
Yun Si took out a specially made hollow silver needle, heated it over a candle flame, and then inserted it into a vein in her wrist.
"Bring the wine over here!"
Chun Tao promptly handed over the wine jar, and a thin, blood-red Gu worm emerged from the other end of the silver needle, falling into the wine with a hissing sound.
Then came the second, the third... a total of seven Gu worms were drawn out, writhing wildly in the strong liquor.
Dr. Ji gasped in astonishment: "There are so many!"
Yun Si's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, but her hands kept moving.
She took out a scarlet pill, dissolved it in warm water, and helped Granny Qian sit up to slowly feed it to her.
As the medicine was ingested, Granny Qian's bluish-purple complexion gradually returned to normal, and her breathing became steady.
"Although the Gu worms have been eliminated, the internal organs have been damaged and require proper recuperation."
Yun Si wrote down the prescription: "Take this prescription for seven consecutive days, and you should be fine."
Doctor Ji took the prescription, looking at her with a complicated expression: "Master Yun, you've kept this a secret for a long time. With such amazing medical skills, why did you..."
As a doctor, it's impossible not to be attracted to someone with such amazing medical skills. Doctor Ji's eyes were shining as he looked at Yun Si.
After Qin Ye finished his work, he learned from Eunuch De Cai that Granny Qian's Gu poison had flared up. He rushed over and heard Doctor Ji's words as soon as he arrived at the door.
"Ji Ke!"
Qin Ye stepped forward, grabbed Yun Si's wrist, and pulled her in front of him, blocking Doctor Ji's view.
He turned around, gave Doctor Ji a cold look, and his eyes were full of threat: "Why aren't you going to get the medicine for the old woman and brew it? What are you standing here for?"
"..."
Dr. Ji touched his nose, puzzled.
What's wrong with Your Highness today?
The old woman's poison has been cured, so why is she still so angry?
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"
Doctor Ji turned and left angrily. Before leaving, he leaned out and smiled at Yun Si: "Master Yun, let's discuss medical skills together another day when we have time."
Just as Yun Si was about to nod, Qin Ye said sarcastically, "You're just an incompetent quack doctor, what's there to discuss with you?"
Dr. Ji: "..."
Yun Si also: "..."
Has this person taken the wrong medicine?
Doctor Ji glanced sadly at Qin Ye and walked away silently.
Yun Si pulled her wrist free from his grasp and wiped the blood from her hands: "Your Highness..."
I had just called out "Your Highness" when I suddenly felt dizzy.
Qin Ye quickly steadied her: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
Yun Si had been busy all day. She had planned to rest for a while before coming to cure Granny Qian of the Gu poison, but Granny Qian suddenly flared up, and Yun Si didn't even have time to catch her breath.
She didn't realize it when she was under a lot of tension, but now that she's relaxed, she feels like all her strength has been drained.
This body is still too weak.
"I'll take you back to rest."
After Qin Ye finished speaking, he picked Yun Si up by the waist.
There were other people watching inside, and Yun Si subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she met his dark eyes, she obediently shut her mouth.
It's best to go along with a man who is unpredictable in his moods.
“Yun…Master Yun.”
Qin Ye carried Yun Si away, and behind him came Chun Tao's terrified voice: "This thing isn't dead yet, what should we do?"
"Let me see it."
Yun Si struggled in Qin Ye's arms for a moment, but Qin Ye did not put her down. Instead, he held her and turned to walk towards Chun Tao.
Not only were the insects in the wine jar not dead, they were still jumping around.
This wine might make them dizzy at most, but it won't kill them.
"Put the lid on and send it, along with my medicine box, to Qiwu Garden."
"yes."
Chuntao quickly agreed.
Just don't let them handle it; this thing is really terrifying and disgusting.
At this moment, Chuntao and Chunmei no longer looked at Yunsi with the same indifference and disgust as before.
Back to Qiwu Garden.
Lanxin and Lu Yu saw once again that their master was being carried back by His Highness, and they were no longer as shocked as before.
I'm much calmer now.
"Go to the pharmacy."
Qin Ye carried Yun Si to the pharmacy.
At the door, Lanxin took the wine jar and medicine box from Chuntao and politely said thank you.
Chun Tao glanced curiously into the pharmacy, and when she saw the sign next to it, she immediately took a step back. She smiled and said, "Sister Lan Xin, I've delivered the things to Master Yun. Granny still needs someone to take care of her, so I'll be going now."
"Okay, take care, Sister Chuntao."
Lansing was somewhat flattered.
Chuntao and Chunmei were first-class maids in Prince Xiao's mansion. In the past, whenever they saw Chuntao and Lu Yu, Chuntao would ignore them.
Especially after the mistress and the prince divorced, no one in the manor treated them well.
I haven't seen such a smiling face in a long time.
very nice.
Inside the room, Qin Ye put Yun Si down and glanced around. A hint of curiosity flashed in his deep, cold eyes: "Is it really that dangerous?"
"Lansin and Lu Yu did it, but with medicine everywhere in the room, it's easy to get accidentally injured."
When did you learn all this?
"Before I married you."
While answering Qin Ye's question, Yun Si was also busy with her hands.
She opened the wine jar, pricked her finger with a silver needle, and squeezed out two drops of blood.
Suddenly, a miraculous scene unfolded.
Qin Ye leaned closer and, seeing this, the two exchanged a glance. Their faces were calm, but their hearts were in turmoil.
"This matter must not be told to anyone except me."
Qin Ye solemnly instructed, then added, "Including Doctor Ji."
"Didn't he know?"
Yun Si raised a question: "He took my pulse."
"He only knows that you cured the poison yourself, but he doesn't know the specific details or methods."
"Okay, I won't say."
Yun Si agreed.
The two fell silent, looking at each other without saying a word.
"By the way, when Granny wakes up, if she knows who the murderer is, how will you deal with that murderer?"
