Chapter 143 Skin Test
Chapter 143 Skin Test
Just as the two were busy, Shen Meizhuang, who was lying on the bed resting, was suddenly awakened by an inexplicable heartache. She sat up abruptly, her forehead covered with sweat and her face as pale as paper.
"What's wrong?" Caiyue heard the noise and hurried over to ask.
Shen Meizhuang covered her chest tightly, feeling the stabbing pain spreading from the bottom of her heart, as if she were being pricked by countless needles, the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.
"Rong'er..." Shen Meizhuang murmured.
"Caiyue, how long have I slept?"
"My Lady, you slept for less than an hour!"
"How's it going at Yanxi Palace?"
"The young lady just woke up, and I asked Doctor Wei to come over!"
"Why didn't you wake me up!"
Shen Meizhuang didn't ask any more questions, quickly got out of bed and went to the Yanx Palace!
Seeing that Wei Lin was the only one in the hall, and the curtains on An Lingrong's bed were drawn, Shen Meizhuang asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
After saying that, he wanted to walk forward to An Lingrong's bed!
"Your Majesty, please wait!" Wei Lin remembered An Lingrong's instruction that anyone who came close to her must be disinfected, so he didn't dare let Shen Meiyu go over and briefly explained the matter again!
Knowing that this was not the time to ask questions, Shen Meizhuang stood outside the bedroom, staring at the slightly shaking bed curtains!
I don't know how long it took before the thin bed curtain was finally gently lifted.
Both people on the bed were exhausted, especially Su Ye, whose face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Cai Xing had just taken two steps when she found her legs were weak, as if she had lost the strength to support her body, and she fell to the ground with a "thump".
Caiyue, who was standing nearby, quickly walked over to help her up and asked with concern, "Caixing, are you okay?"
Cai Xing shook her head, tears blurred her vision, and she choked and said, "I'm fine...it's just...the young lady has really suffered this time!" After saying that, she could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart and burst into tears.
Caixing had waited on An Lingrong for over seven months. During these seven months, they had been together day and night, inseparable. An Lingrong treated her like a younger sister, and Caixing had long since considered An Lingrong her closest person, not just a master-servant relationship. Now, seeing An Lingrong endure such immense pain, Caixing's heart was broken.
Ever since An Lingrong was injured, she has been resentful every moment about why she left her alone in Yikun Palace, and now she can only watch her bear all the pain.
Shen Meizhuang slowly shifted her gaze to the pile of blood-stained soft cloth at the foot of the bed, her eyes filled with sadness and anger. Every drop of blood there pierced her heart deeply. Her body trembled involuntarily, and tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
Su Ye was much calmer at this time. After seeing Shen Meizhuang, he immediately covered the rotten meat with a soft cloth, and then ordered Ju Qing outside the hall to come in and clean up.
After the wound was cleaned, the infection rate of An Lingrong's wound slowed down a little, but she lost a lot of blood, which made her already scarce blood supply even worse. She was awake less every day than before. Su Ye comforted herself by thinking that falling asleep was also a good thing, at least she would not feel pain!

"Miss Su Ye, I went to the Imperial Hospital today. The master said that several strains of Penicillium are growing well and have entered the purification stage!" Wei Lin talked to Su Ye while boiling the medicine.
This was the best news Su Ye had heard recently. A bright smile appeared on his face. "Really?"
Wei Lin was also infected by her smile, "Of course it's true, I go to see it every day, but it's a pity that the master won't let me get close!"
"Then why don't you go and develop it with your master?" Su Ye asked curiously.
"Actually, my master also asked me to go when he was selecting people, but I didn't agree!"
Su Ye stared at him with eyes wide open, "Why? My mistress said this is a matter of great benefit to the country and the people!"
Wei Lin was a little shy and turned his gaze away, "Well, if I go too, who will take care of the young lady?"
Hearing this, Su Ye looked at him suspiciously, "I will take care of my young mistress myself. Besides, there are Caixing and Juqing! Look at you, the most you do every day is to boil medicine with a fan. Xiao Luzi can do this job better than you!"
Wei Lin was speechless!
Seeing his ugly face, Su Ye instantly felt that what he said was inappropriate, and immediately changed his tone, "Doctor Wei, that's not what I meant. In fact, I feel much more at ease with you around!"
After saying that, Su Ye thought about what happened that day and continued, "It was my fault the day before yesterday. I apologize to you. I was really distracted and slapped you. Please don't be angry."
With the words "I feel much more at ease with you around", Wei Lin instantly turned into a cat with its fur smoothed out, and Su Ye's apology became pleasant to the ear, "It's okay, I'm not angry!"
When An Lingrong woke up again, it was already late midnight. She could feel her body getting heavier and heavier, and her breathing became short and rapid. This was because her blood oxygen saturation was decreasing, which also meant that she didn't have much time left!
Fortunately, Wen Shichu didn't make her wait too long.
Two days later, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were summoned to the Yanx Palace by Wen Shichu.
When the two of them arrived, Wen Shichu and two other imperial doctors had already arrived. They were fully armed, with their braids wrapped in loose hats, and their clothes changed into plain narrow-sleeved tops and tight-fitting pants. Their faces were covered with thick masks, leaving only their eyes exposed.
Su Ye and Cai Xing also changed into this outfit and began to disinfect the bedroom with alcohol.
After the disinfection was completed, Su Ye used a silver needle to wake An Lingrong up.
"My lord, I have prepared penicillin and tested it on a bacterial culture dish. It is effective. Please take a look!" Wen Shichu took out a palm-sized jar from a tightly sealed box, gently opened the lid, and inside was the extracted penicillin solution.
Since he was appointed as the deputy director of the Imperial Medical Service, he found several clean rooms in the hospital and selected more than 30 people to specialize in the research of penicillin. They ate, drank and slept all in the hospital, working non-stop for nearly ten days. They used nearly a thousand kilograms of oranges alone, but in the end, there was only this small jar of successful penicillin solution.
Wen Shichu carefully brought the jar in front of An Lingrong.
An Lingrong didn't expect that he could actually make it. She was happy and sniffed carefully. She looked down again. It was white and tasted bitter. It looked quite similar!
Seeing An Lingrong nod, Wen Shichu took out a syringe with confidence, sucked up some solution, and injected the solution into the subcutaneous tissue according to the position pointed by An Lingrong, forming a round hillock on the skin.
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang in the outer hall watched their actions nervously.
