Chapter 196 The Operation of the Straight Man
Chapter 196 The Operation of the Straight Man
After a while.
Under the urging of others, the servant who was handling the liquid medicine finally completed all the operations.
Following the steps Song Yuan said, he pressed the stinking substance under a huge rock and collected a whole bowl of emerald green medicine.
The servant held the medicine bowl in both hands and came forward cautiously.
The face is always facing sideways.
The smell of this bowl of medicine is really unpleasant!
As the most senior person present, Mrs. Situ took the bowl of medicine immediately and took a light sniff at it.
His entire face twisted.
Is this smelly liquid really non-toxic?
"Song Yuan, are you sure this thing really works?"
Faced with this reality, even Mrs. Situ felt a little doubtful.
The smell is so pungent that it inevitably makes people think too much.
"Madam, I can guarantee that this bowl of medicine will definitely work!"
Song Yuan responded immediately with a firm look in his eyes.
"I've tried this medicine. Although it tastes pungent, it's definitely effective! It's not as poisonous as others suspect. The saying "good medicine tastes bitter" is exactly what it means!"
As Song Yuan finished speaking, he leaned forward and stretched out his hand to take the bowl of medicine from Madam Situ.
No matter how much you say, in Song Yuan's opinion, it is far less real than taking a sip yourself!
However, Song Yuan didn't expect that just when his palm was about to touch the medicine bowl, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Even if you really drink, it's not your turn, so don't try to kill yourself here!"
Situ Jing had already stood up at this moment, and while speaking, she grabbed Song Yuan's sleeve.
With a gentle tug, he was pulled behind him.
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Song Yuan to react, Situ Jing had already snatched the medicine bowl from her mother's hands.
He brought it directly to his mouth and took two gulps, and half of the entire bowl of medicine was gone.
This chick...
Song Yuan witnessed this action with his own eyes and shook his head with a bit of pampering in his eyes.
He naturally saw what Situ Jing was thinking.
He was clearly doing it for his own good, but he deliberately acted fierce.
When will I be able to change this habit of saying one thing and thinking another?
Just as Song Yuan was sighing in his heart, Situ Jing had already put down the medicine bowl, and the frown on his brow had mostly dissipated.
"Don't say this medicine smells bad, but it doesn't taste that bad!"
“Although it’s a bit bitter, it also has a cool feeling.”
"Let me try it too!" Upon hearing this comment, Mrs. Situ immediately snatched the medicine bowl away.
The mother and daughter took a sip each, and most of the whole bowl of medicine was gone!
"Indeed, although this medicine tastes bitter at first, it has a slightly cool aftertaste, so it shouldn't be poisonous!"
Qin Shuang, who was standing by, saw the two of them trying this, and her eyes suddenly revealed a hint of eagerness to try.
But this time, before she could get close, Song Yuan stretched out his hands to stop Qin Shuang.
"No, no, no, sister-in-law, enough is enough!"
"There's not much medicine left in this bowl. If you drink another sip, I'm afraid it won't be enough to cure Nian'an!"
Song Yuan had spent a lot of effort to finally find this little bit of stinking galangal outside the valley.
If all the medicine had been drunk by others, where would Song Yuan go to find this medicine in the night outside the window?
"Oh well!"
Qin Shuang glanced at the medicine bowl with some hesitation, and realized that what Song Yuan said was true, so he accepted this reality with some helplessness.
However, no one fed the medicine to Nian An immediately.
Instead, he waited for a whole incense stick of time!
Seeing that Mrs. Situ and Situ Jing finally looked sober and showed no symptoms of poisoning, he finally dispelled his original concerns.
After confirming the efficacy of the medicine, Mrs. Situ personally took a wooden spoon, picked up the young Nian'an, and poured half of the medicine into the child's mouth one by one.
Afterwards, Mrs. Situ carefully placed the young Nian on the bed.
At this point, everyone has done their best and everything that needs to be done has been done.
The rest is up to fate!
While waiting, Jinlian would come forward from time to time, use her medical skills to take the pulse of the young Nian'an, and always pay attention to the changes in the child.
As a mother, Qin Shuang remained the same as before, wiping her child's forehead from time to time. This was the only thing she could do!
Mrs. Situ and her daughter looked around the room with apprehension.
At this moment, the mother and daughter were so uneasy that they even held each other's hands in excitement.
This tense atmosphere made Song Yuan feel a little suffocated.
While everyone was waiting, Song Yuan left the dilapidated temple and whispered instructions to the servants, hoping to find more stinky Gao.
In fact, compared to others.
The pressure Song Yuan bears deep in his heart is the greatest!
After all, what if Nian An cannot recover by then, or has any abnormal reaction?
As a participant in this, Song Yuan needs to bear the main responsibility!
The medicinal effect of Chou Gao can indeed cure cold and fever.
But even Song Yuan was not 100% sure whether he could succeed this time.
The Zhenbei Palace has been passed down for three generations, and now there is only this one child left.
If something really happens, Song Yuan might not be able to face the Situ family in the future!
As I waited like this, time passed slowly.
Half an hour had passed, and Song Yuan still hadn't received any good news about Nian An. Instead, the people he had sent out to look for Chou Gao returned with a full load.
Faced with such an outcome, Song Yuan looked worried.
Why is there no result yet?
However, considering the effect of the stinky tofu, Song Yuan waved his hand and told his servants to collect these herbs carefully.
After all, this thing is definitely an effective medicine for treating malaria. Although there is a certain probability, it is the only way at the moment.
Without the reason to look for Chou Gao, Song Yuan could no longer comfort himself. With his heart tied, he finally turned back and walked towards the ruined temple.
I just hope to be the first to know the news about Nian An!
This time it seemed as if God heard everyone's prayers, just as Song Yuan stepped into the dilapidated temple.
A cry of surprise resounded throughout the venue.
"The fever has gone down, Nian An's fever has started to go down!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present clenched their fists excitedly!
Song Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he started running wildly. However, he didn't expect that he was tripped by a vine after just two steps.
"My Lord, are you okay?"
Seeing this scene, others rushed forward to support him, but Song Yuan waved his hands and pretended to be relaxed.
"Don't worry, it's okay!"
As he spoke, Song Yuan had already stood up despite the pain, but when he glanced at the wound on his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Why are you panicking?
A piece of flesh had fallen off Song Yuan's thumb due to the previous abrasion.
The burning pain made Song Yuan gasp repeatedly.
But thinking of the previous turn of events, Song Yuan no longer cared about the pain. He immediately separated the crowd and walked towards the center of the ruined temple.
Looking at Song Yuan's back as he gritted his teeth and persevered, many servants gathered together.
They also heard the exclamation just now, and when they saw Song Yuan again, they were all shocked by his beauty.
"Your Highness is truly capable! His medical skills are so extraordinary that he was able to save the young lady!"
"Your Highness is simply like Hua Tuo in the world. With just a few herbs, he cured diseases that doctors were helpless against. He is simply a god!"
"Hearing what you said, I have to collect these medicines carefully. These medicines are miracle cures. If I encounter colds and fevers again, they will be able to cure them!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded. In the eyes of everyone, these herbs were worth a fortune and were much more important than gold!
After all, in today's Qin Dynasty, cold and fever are considered terminal illnesses.
Once you are infected, you can only leave it to fate!
Even the little princess of Zhenbei Palace almost passed away, let alone others!
Ten thousand taels of gold are not worth a life, so people naturally regard this herb as extremely precious.
……
In the ruined temple.
When Song Yuan came forward, Nian An's condition had basically recovered.
His originally pale face now had a red cloud on it, and his trembling body had completely stopped moving.
His eyelids were twitching, clearly showing signs of waking up.
As the child's mother, Qin Shuang knelt down on the ground as soon as she noticed Song Yuan.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness. Thank you for saving Nian'an's life. Otherwise, if the child had died, I wouldn't want to live either!"
"I doubted Your Highness before, I hope Your Highness will forgive me. I was ignorant. I apologize to Your Highness here!"
When he got excited, Qin Shuang even prepared to kowtow to Song Yuan.
Song Yuan hurried forward and, after much effort, finally helped his sister-in-law up.
"Sister-in-law, why are you so reserved? We are a family. You are being so formal. Don't you consider me a relative?"
Song Yuan deliberately frowned, and finally dispelled Qin Shuang's worries.
"Your Highness, thank you very much... No, Your Highness. What happened to your hand?"
Qin Shuang was halfway through his words when his eyes fell on Qin Shuang's palm. Noticing the blood oozing from the other's palm, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Situ Jing, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the two and came forward immediately.
He snatched Song Yuan's hand away, and after seeing the wound, there was a hint of heartache in his eyes.
"What the hell did you do? You're so careless that you don't even know how to be careful!"
With a bit of complaint, Situ Jing muttered to Song Yuan in a bad mood, and while speaking, she wiped the wound directly with her sleeve.
However, seeing that the bleeding still could not be stopped, Situ Jing immediately lowered her head and prepared to suck the blood clean with her mouth!
Song Yuan, upon witnessing this scene, hurriedly tried to stop them: "No, no, no, my aunt, you must not dare to do this!"
It’s just a pity that how could Song Yuan be a match for Situ Jing?
The tigress gently pinched Song Yuan's wrist, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.
"Just stand here and do whatever I tell you to do!"
"I really don't need it! What if you give me rabies again?"
A warm current surged in Song Yuan's heart, but he was unforgiving in his words.
"What is rabies?" Situ Jing had never heard of this term before, so she asked curiously.
Song Yuan, the straight man, didn't notice anything unusual at all. He explained to Situ Jing seriously, "Speaking of rabies, we have to talk about dogs. If a dog bites a human, some bacteria will remain in the human body..."
As he was speaking, Song Yuan suddenly shut his mouth.
It was because in his sight, Situ Jing, who had originally lowered her head, had stood up, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him clearly contained some ill intentions!
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Faced with such a scene, Song Yuan still did not know he was wrong and asked subconsciously.
But Situ Jing glared at him and threw his hand aside.
"Get lost, let someone else stop the bleeding for you, I don't care anymore!"
Situ Jing left a word and walked aside angrily.
I tried to stop your bleeding out of kindness, but you kept calling me a dog.
Do you really think I'm trying to curry favor with you?
