Chapter 27 Preliminary Diagnosis
She took out two bottles of pills and handed them to Qing Tong, instructing him to give them to the two of them, and told him: "Give Qing Ying two pills from the white bottle and one from the green bottle; give Qing Yang two pills from the white bottle and two from the green bottle."
Before the bronze bottle could even be warmed up, Doctor Yuan snatched it away, saying, "Let me do it, let me do it."
After receiving the medicine, Dr. Yuan opened the lid, smelled it, and asked Long Chuqing with a curious expression what kind of medicine this bottle contained and what kind of medicine this bottle contained.
"If you trust me, give it to them first. I'll explain later. Can't you see they're in excruciating pain?" Long Chuqing pointed at the two of them.
Qing Tong was speechless. When he told Miss Long to hurry up, she said she wasn't in a rush. And Doctor Yuan, they didn't know what was important and what was urgent, they were only concerned with their own research. Qing Tong mentally complained about the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Yuan quickly went over and administered the medicine to them.
Not long after they took the medicine, Dr. Yuan asked them, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?" They both shook their heads.
Dr. Yuan stood in front of them, observing them carefully. Less than a minute later, he asked again, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?" A little while later, he asked again, "How are you? Does it still hurt? Do you feel any better?"
Long Chuqing leaned against the table, propping his chin up with one hand. Looking at Doctor Yuan, he frowned and sighed, thinking to himself, "Speechless. I'm not a concoctionist. You act like I'm giving you some kind of magic pill. I'll give you a look and you'll understand. Sigh..."
Her frowning, glaring, and sighing were all witnessed by Xiao Han, who was sitting diagonally opposite her. He smiled slightly and glanced at Doctor Yuan, feeling helpless as well.
Qing Tong refused to listen. He pulled Doctor Yuan aside and earnestly tried to persuade him.
"Dr. Yuan, please stop asking. Even the best medicine won't work that quickly! They already have headaches, and you're just making them suffer even more by constantly buzzing in their ears!"
Long Chuqing nodded frantically, resting her chin on her hand, indicating her approval. Everyone else nodded in agreement as well. They were all helpless about Doctor Yuan's actions, but they also expressed their understanding.
Dr. Yuan sat back down on the stool in embarrassment, remaining silent, and took a sip of the tea beside him.
After about half a cup of tea's time, their pain subsided, and they gradually regained consciousness.
Before Dr. Yuan could even ask, they said they were much better and the pain had subsided.
Long Chuqing said slowly, "Actually, if you don't get treatment, you won't feel any pain in a couple of days."
Everyone is puzzled.
Qingyang quickly asked, "Why will the pain stop in a couple of days? We were both in so much pain last night."
Dr. Yuan also looked at her curiously, his eyes conveying a question.
"Because if you don't get treatment, you'll die in a couple of days, and of course you won't feel pain when you're dead."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock. Qingying and Qingtong gasped, as if her words were a death sentence. Both of them frowned, their faces contorted in distress, and their hearts pounded with fear.
Dr. Yuan quickly asked, "Is that white bottle a painkiller?"
Long Chuqing nodded: "Mm."
"Why does this bottle of painkiller smell so peculiar? I can't even recognize the scent of any herb," Dr. Yuan humbly inquired.
"There are countless paths to take, and there is certainly more than one prescription. Different medicines can be combined to create different prescriptions, and their smells will naturally be different, but the final effect is the same."
"For example, I have five bottles of painkillers. Each bottle has a different prescription and smell, but they are all used to relieve pain. Do you understand?" Long Chuqing patiently explained to him.
In fact, Dr. Yuan was considered to have good medical skills in their time. It wasn't that he didn't understand some pharmacology; it was just that Long Chuqing lived a long time and liked to combine and adjust various prescriptions. Naturally, she developed many prescriptions that others didn't know about. She also had many strange prescriptions, and many of them had different smells from ordinary herbs.
Dr. Yuan nodded, "Understood." He was very interested in medical theory, so even though she was just a young girl who knew more than him, he would still ask her questions earnestly.
"What's in the green bottle?"
"This is my specially made insect repellent medicine. I also added anesthetic powder to it. Of course, it can't kill the Gu worms. I just drug them to make them unconscious, so that they can temporarily lose their ability to move and prevent them from causing damage in their bodies, thereby reducing their pain."
Everyone looked enlightened: "I see."
Qingying swallowed hard, her face full of anxiety, and asked, "Miss Long, do you have a way to help us get rid of the Gu worms in our bodies?"
Qingyang was also anxious, his face full of worry. He didn't want to die yet; he hadn't even gotten married. "Please, young lady, save me."
Hearing her say that they might die, they couldn't help but feel scared. Doctor Yuan was at a loss, but the medicine Long Chuqing had given them could help relieve their pain, so they pinned their hopes on her.
Seeing their worried faces, Long Chuqing didn't tease them. Instead, she straightened her expression and gently comforted them, "There must be a solution. Just like the prescription I mentioned earlier, there's more than one."
Qingying and Qingyang exchanged a glance, and upon hearing that there was still hope, they both showed long-lost smiles.
Long Chuqing smiled back: "Don't worry, I won't die."
After hearing her words, everyone's initial worries gradually subsided.
Long Chuqing pondered for a moment and asked, "Um, is the person who cast the Gu poison still alive?"
Qing Tong replied, "She's alive, but we've captured her. She said before that as long as she doesn't die, Qing Ying and Qing Yang won't die either. If she dies, they'll die seven days later."
"She's lying to you. She's stalling for time. They'll both die in six or seven days. She probably wants to take them down with her!"
Then she glanced at Qingyang, then at Qingying: "Yeah, you two are just scapegoats."
Qingying and Qingyang both slumped their shoulders and lowered their heads.
Long Chuqing turned to Doctor Yuan and said, "Give them the medicine. If they start to feel pain again in two hours, they need to take it again in the same amount as before. If they don't feel pain, they don't need to take it."
Dr. Yuan had originally planned to secretly take it back for research, but he reluctantly handed it to Qingying.
Then she thought that since she was living in the Prince's mansion now, there was no rush, and she could ask her for advice another day.
Long Chuqing continued, "I need to meet the person who cast the Gu tomorrow, is that alright?"
Bronze looked at Xiao Han.
Xiao Han simply said, "She's dangerous."
Bronze wondered to himself, "That maid is half-dead now; she's no threat at all."
"Didn't you capture her? You must have tortured her and forced her to give you the antidote! I bet she's half-dead by now."
Bronze thought to himself, "Congratulations, you guessed everything correctly."
Xiao Han looked slightly embarrassed, but quickly regained his composure and looked at Qing Tong: "Oh, did you torture her?"
Qing Tong secretly groaned, "Your Highness, because I was worried that Qingying and Qingyang's bodies couldn't take it, I didn't have time to explain to you in detail. I did use torture on her. I hope Your Highness will forgive me this time, considering my eagerness to save my friends."
Xiao Han said calmly, "Since there's a reason for this, let's let it go this time, but don't let it happen again."
"Yes," Qing Tong thought to himself, "Working is tough! And I even have to take the blame for the boss."
The other guards, feeling awkward, could only pick at their things here and look around there.
"I'll just watch you perform quietly. Are you trying to put on a show?" Long Chuqing glanced at Xiao Han and thought to herself, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You still want to fool me?"
Long Chuqing felt it was best to explain things directly to them. "I'm going to see her because it's related to removing the curse. I'll go tomorrow morning!"
“Since it’s related to removing the curse, then of course we have to go. Qing Tong, you’ll accompany Miss Long tomorrow and make sure she’s safe.”
"Yes," Bronze replied.
"Let's leave it at that for now! They'll be fine tonight, so they can all go home and get a good night's sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow." Long Chuqing stood up and walked out, leaning on her cane.
