Chapter 336 What the Immortal Told Me
Wen Qingqing had been holding it in for so long, she had wanted to ask but felt it wasn't the right time. Now that she finally had the chance, she was really anxious.
She learned medicine from her maternal grandfather from a young age. With a family tradition of medicine, her medical skills were quite good. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been called the Little Fairy Doctor after leaving the mountain. However, venereal disease has been an incurable disease since ancient times. At most, she could try some extreme methods, but there was no guarantee that she could be cured!
Wen Qingqing stared longingly at Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang reached out and touched her forehead, pushing her away slightly: "Yes."
Wen Qingqing looked at her in disbelief: "Really? How is that possible? How did you do it? This is impossible. My grandfather said that using poison to fight poison only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. If you're not careful, it can even kill you. The Medicine God Valley has been working on prescriptions for generations, but they can only play a supporting role. They can't cure the root cause."
Wen Qingqing excitedly grasped Lu Yangyang's hands: "Yangyang, you're not lying to me, are you? Is it true? Here's what we'll do: if you can tell me how to cure this illness, I promise you on behalf of my grandfather, I'll not only go back and bring you the two herbs you need, but I'll also give you my grandfather's treasured medical books. You need treatment for your leg injury, right? I roughly know what the other herbs you need are, and I can find them for you, but there are two living things I really can't help you with. However, I can accompany you to the ancient forest in the southwest. My little darling has been raised by me for many years; he should be able to help you."
Lu Yangyang's eyelids flickered slightly.
The herbs she needs, apart from the two that are said to grow on the sacred mountain, should all be found in the ancient forests of the southwest. The most difficult to find are two living creatures that are highly poisonous. If they can be used as medicine, His Highness's leg will surely recover completely. Even if he cannot practice martial arts in the future, it will not affect his normal life or his lifespan.
The venom of the Azure Python and the Fire Cicada are among the most potent poisons. A slight mistake can result in instant death; one can die within ten steps, in the blink of an eye.
She hadn't initially included these two things in the prescription. If she wanted to cure His Highness's leg, she would have to be alive. She didn't know much about poisons, and if she wasn't careful, she would lose her own life first, and then she would be even less able to cure His Highness's leg.
But it would be different if Wen Qingqing were to help. Wen Qingqing comes from the Valley of the Medicine God, and the prescriptions in her mind are probably more extensive than any medical books she has ever seen. Moreover, she herself has a great deal of knowledge about poisons. If she were there, she would have a much better chance of obtaining these two highly poisonous substances.
Lu Yangyang nodded without hesitation: "Deal!"
Wen Qingqing's eyes lit up. "Then tell me quickly, how do I treat it?"
Lu Yangyang pushed her away: "I need something, penicillin."
"What? Penicillin? What is that? I've never heard of it before. Is it true? Where did you hear about it? What does it look like? Why can it cure venereal diseases?" Wen Qingqing asked one question after another, almost driving Lu Yangyang crazy.
Of course, Lu Yangyang couldn't tell her where she heard it, because it was her aunt who taught her.
When her aunt was lucid, she told her that penicillin is an antibiotic. Many illnesses and complications from injuries are caused by bacterial infections in the body. For example, some people die because their wounds weren't treated promptly, and others suffer brain damage from persistent fever—all due to inflammation. Antibiotics can effectively treat these bacterial infections, so penicillin can treat most such conditions. Syphilis, also known as venereal disease, is caused by a bacterial infection, so penicillin can treat it.
When her aunt told her about these things, she instructed her that they could be used to save lives, but she couldn't tell others why. She didn't quite understand at the time, but later, when she was learning medicine from Wen Yu, she consulted many classic texts and found that although many of the things her aunt had taught her could be found on paper, many more were not recorded in any medical books or classic texts.
She had a vague feeling that those things might not belong to this land, but might come from a more mysterious place, the place that belonged to her aunt.
Similarly, it is a secret that can never be revealed in the slightest.
Lu Yangyang patted her shoulder: "A deity told me this. I don't know why it can cure, but it definitely can. Wait for me to change my clothes, rest for a while, and eat before I tell you how to make penicillin."
Wen Qingqing stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Even after Lu Yangyang left, she was still pacing around the room, muttering to herself, "Immortals? Could there really be immortals? How come I've never heard of them? My mother, who's such a wise person, told me that immortals don't actually exist. Could my mother be wrong? What do immortals look like? Wait, a while ago there was a rumor that some princess discovered cowpox to prevent smallpox, and they also said it was an immortal descended to earth. So what do immortals look like?"
When Lu Yangyang finished tidying up and came out, Wen Qingqing was still engrossed in the question of whether gods existed in this world. Lu Yangyang was silent for a moment, and suddenly believed that Wen Qingqing was the Little Fairy Doctor. After all, most people probably wouldn't be as focused and persistent as her, willing to cross mountains and risk their lives for a snake, and still agonizing over the existence of gods for so long...
……
After settling everyone in, Jiang Xun hurried to the study to find his father and told him the whole story of what had happened that day.
Governor Jiang, enraged, smashed his favorite inkstone on the table. This man, who was usually extremely well-mannered, was now so angry that his veins were bulging: "The Yang family is shameless, utterly shameless!"
The Yang family was also a prominent family, and they were of the same clan as the current Fifth Prince's maternal family. Yang Chengfeng, who was married into their family, was the Fifth Prince's cousin. He and Yang Chengfeng's father were classmates and old friends. Because he trusted his old friend's character, he arranged the marriage. After his old friend passed away, he still remembered their friendship and did not break off the engagement, but married his daughter to him. However, he never expected that he would push his daughter into a fire pit with his own hands.
Governor Jiang slammed his fist on the table, his eyes bloodshot with hatred.
"Don't tell your mother about this yet. She's fallen ill these past few days while searching for Yiyi," Governor Jiang said after a long silence, suppressing his emotions.
"Father, rest assured, I have made all the arrangements. Miss Lu said that Miss Wen is a little fairy doctor and will definitely be able to cure my sister. I will tell Mother when my sister is feeling better in a few days," Jiang Xun said.
"Miss Lu? Little Fairy Doctor? Are these the two ladies you mentioned today?" Governor Jiang asked.
Jiang Xun hurriedly recounted how Lu Yangyang had stood up for his sister at the mountain stronghold earlier that day. After listening, Governor Jiang frowned and tapped his fingers on the table repeatedly: "Do you remember what I told you this morning?"
"Father means...?" Jiang Xun lowered his voice.
"The Imperial Guards said that the deposed Crown Prince was assassinated and died in the Mi River, and the deposed Crown Princess has disappeared without a trace."
