However, Yun Jiao did not relax. She pointed to another packet of dicine and instructed Hui Xiang, "Boil this packet too. First, bring it to a boil with high heat, then simr it slowly on low heat. Once it’s ready, leave it here as a backup."
At this mont, the guards sent out to find dicine started returning one after another.
Ah Yun had previously given them a deadline of one hour. If they couldn’t find the dicine within that ti, there was no need to continue the search.
By the ti they returned, they had already exceeded the ti limit.
The guards, unaware of the situation inside the house, reported to Ah Yun one by one, looking defeated, "We couldn’t find it. There’s no such dicine."
"No, the guys at the pharmacy haven’t even heard of this dicine."
"Nowhere to be found; the shopkeeper said no one would have this dicine in stock."
Standing at the door, Ah Yun glanced back. Seeing Jiang Zhong’s hand softly patting Lady Wu’s back, he grinned, "If you couldn’t find it, you couldn’t find it. The Lord is already fine."
The guards exclaid in surprise, "Really, he’s fine?" They then craned their necks to look inside the room.
Ah Yun waved them away with a smile, "Alright, just go back to your duties."
The guards’ tense and anxious mood completely relaxed. Those who were on duty continued working, while those who were resting resud their rest.
Inside the room, Lady Wu was still crying. Jiang Zhongxing sat up, disregarding the presence of his son and daughter-in-law, and held her in his arms to comfort her, "It’s alright, it’s alright."
At this mont, he suddenly realized that Yaoyao, though outwardly fierce, had a softer heart than anyone.
Yun Jiao exchanged a glance with Jiang Youzhi, and the two of them walked out of the room one after the other.
Yun Jiao didn’t dare go far, concerned that the Lord might have another episode. She stood outside and exhaled deeply.
This intense situation was the first she had encountered.
Moreover, she had no real confidence in saving the Lord; it was rely a desperate attempt without certainty.
Jiang Youzhi stood beside her, took her hand, and remained silent.
The two of them looked up at the sky.
The sky was a pure and translucent blue, with almost no clouds, and the sunlight was exceedingly bright.
Yun Jiao suddenly let go of Jiang Youzhi’s hand. Her palm was sweaty, not from her own hand but Jiang Youzhi’s, and his hand was especially warm.
She turned to look at Jiang Youzhi, seeing him drenched in sweat, his whole face flushed.
It was sumr now, and the temperature was naturally high; he had also been by the fire for quite a while.
Yun Jiao reached out to touch his forehead, "Do you feel any discomfort?" She hoped he wouldn’t suffer from heatstroke.
Jiang Youzhi grabbed Yun Jiao’s hand, pressing it against his chest, and shook his head slowly.
Yun Jiao was about to call Hui Xiang to get a fan to cool Jiang Youzhi when suddenly Lady Wu’s startled shout ca from inside the room, "Zhong Xing!"
She instinctively ran inside and saw the Lord clutching his chest, slowly lying back down.
Yun Jiao rushed over, "What’s wrong? Is it chest pain?"
Jiang Zhongxing nodded slowly, "It feels like my chest is cramping, very uncomfortable."
Yun Jiao nodded, "The effect of the poison is to cause the heart to spasm and numb; it’s a normal reaction as the dicine hasn’t tabolized yet."
Lady Wu, too, dared not cry, "Is it serious?"
Yun Jiao said, "Before the dicine tabolizes out of the body, this situation might continue to occur. As long as the spasms aren’t too severe, it shouldn’t be a big problem."
She thought for a mont, "Don’t worry, Madam. I will stay by the Lord’s side. As long as he makes it through today, there should be no issues by tomorrow."
