Chapter 425: Chapter 435: Studying Medicine is Profitable

"And those medicinal materials need to be procured as quickly as possible, if Lingnan doesn’t have them or doesn’t have enough, go to other provinces. Marquess, the disease is already spreading, we must act quickly, the medicine must not be stopped."

After Gu Youyou finished speaking, everyone still thought she was quite presumptuous, but they no longer felt that she was joking or being overly confident like before.

The way she spoke seemed so systematic and earnest, it would be quite a serious lie if it weren’t true. So what she said was very likely the truth.

Typhoid could indeed be controlled and cured by her!

Orders were quickly passed down. With Yue Rujing’s guarantee and the Marquess’s trust, everything proceeded smoothly.

Looking at Jin Zijin who was also helping, Gu Youyou said to him, "Thank you. If it weren’t for you bringing Yue Rujing around, they would still treat me like a fool."

Jin Zijin laughed and said, "Once you cure the epidemic, they’ll consider you a Divine Doctor."

"I am a Divine Doctor already."

Yue Rujing’s anxious voice came from the entrance, "Yes, yes, you are indeed a Divine Doctor. Divine Doctor, please quickly see what’s wrong with that patient."

Jin Zijin and Gu Youyou exchanged a look and quickly followed Yue Rujing to the tent next door.

The patient was already delirious and could faint at any moment. Gu Youyou touched his forehead; it was frighteningly hot.

She said, "The cooling must not stop, wet the cloth and place it on his forehead."

Upon hearing this, someone promptly wrung out a towel and brought it over.

She continued, "Prepare a tub of warm water, and remember the antipyretic prescription I issued last time? Give him a medicinal bath to reduce the fever."

Someone quickly acted on her instructions.

Gu Youyou carefully observed the patient, noting his yellow complexion, indicating jaundice symptoms.

She hurried to unbutton his clothes, and Jin Zijin, frowning, pulled her aside and deftly undressed the soldier himself.

The man was very thin, obviously not in the best of health even normally; surviving life in the military camp was indeed no easy task.

She spotted faint red rashes on his body and a slight swelling in the liver and spleen area. As soon as she pressed on it, he winced in pain.

Gu Youyou, having understood the symptoms, withdrew her hand and said, "That will do, I’ll prescribe another medication in a moment, administer the drugs according to the new prescription."

She left the tent and washed her hands with a medicinal solution.

Jin Zijin, following behind her, felt more at ease.

He said, "As a woman, you really shouldn’t be learning medical skills. Why did you choose to learn this of all things?"

Gu Youyou was taken aback, letting the water droplets fall.

She gave a bitter smile but then retorted, "For the sake of making a living, medical skills fetch good money. The richer people are, the more they fear death, they are willing to spend money to buy life."

Jin Zijin disagreed, saying lightly, "With your intelligence and wit, you could make money doing anything."

"Hmm." Gu Youyou grunted in agreement, saying no more.

Back in her tent, she handed him a bowl of medicine and said, "Drink this, to prevent infection."

Jin Zijin said, "Didn’t you say that those with weaker constitutions are more likely to get infected? Do I look like someone with a weak constitution to you?"

Gu Youyou replied, "But if you were to get a fever, it would be harder to treat than for others, as the heat toxin in your body would also be triggered, and I don’t want to see Yue Rujing bleed you again."

It seemed that Ajing bleeding for her had really affected her deeply.

Jin Zijin paused, then sighed resignedly, "Fine, I’ll drink it!"

He picked up the bowl and drained it in one gulp.

Speaking of blood, Gu Youyou was reminded of something else.

She asked, "Did you also make me drink your blood?"
