Chapter 290 Antidote Production
Upon hearing that her son had been poisoned, Luo Zheng's wife gasped. Thinking of her son's current half-dead state, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with grief.
Luo staggered over, staring at the electrocardiogram on the life support device; the faint heartbeat seemed as if it might stop at any moment.
"Hongyuan... Hongyuan is really poisoned?" Luo Zheng was ashen-faced. If his son was indeed poisoned, and he had secretly hidden him away, missing the opportunity for an antidote, then...
“The poison in your son’s body is deeply hidden, undetectable by instruments, and its effects are slow, gradually eroding his internal organs. Once the toxin spreads to his brain, there will be no cure.” Xi Yu’s expression darkened slightly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zheng's wife immediately covered her mouth and choked up, wishing she could suffer in her son's place.
"So that means there's still hope for salvation?" Yan San grasped the meaning behind Xi Yu's words.
Luo looked up hurriedly, his eyes revealing a humble, pleading look.
Xi Yu's lips parted slightly, and she uttered only one word: "Yes."
Luo Zheng could hardly believe his ears. For the past two weeks, he had secretly invited doctors from the outer city to treat Luo Hongyuan, but without exception, every doctor looked regretful and advised him to grieve. Only the young girl in front of him said with a firm look that Luo Hongyuan could be saved.
"Is there really...is there any hope? Hongyuan won't just die like this, will he?" Luo Zheng asked, his eyes bloodshot and trembling.
Xi Yu didn't reply, but nodded slightly. But for Luo Zheng, who had nowhere else to turn for help, this simple gesture was incredibly precious and full of hope.
"I need the materials and equipment to make the potion, as well as a room where I won't be disturbed," Xi Yu said, looking at Yan San. Although the antidote he was making required some special materials, with Yan San there, he could always get everything he needed.
"No problem, just tell me what you need." Yan San nodded slightly.
Since he said so, Xi Yu naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony and immediately gave him a long list.
Yan San spent only half a day gathering everything she needed, and secretly brought over a complete set of instruments and tools for making potions.
Luo Zheng vacated the entire third floor of the villa for Xi Yu's use, and the servants in the villa were also dismissed early on to ensure that the secret would not be leaked.
Everything is ready; now all we have to do is wait for her to make the antidote.
However, there was still something in the room that was getting in the way.
Xi Yu glared coldly at Yan San, who was stubbornly refusing to leave, and said coolly, "Major Yan, are you waiting for me to personally escort you out?" She wouldn't mind kicking him out.
"Can't I stay here? I promise I won't bother you." He looked up at her, his eyes seeming somewhat disappointed.
"...Whatever!" Xi Yu shouted in a somewhat self-deprecating tone. She wasn't a resentful woman; who was she trying to impress with that look?
She wiped her face, focused her mind and began processing the materials. Beside her was a vial of red blood, drawn from Luo Hongyuan.
Yan San carefully observed Xi Yu's movements and helped her sort and put away the hundreds of materials. He pointed to the vial of blood and asked, "Can Hong Yuan's blood be used in the potion?"
"This is the medicinal guide. Only with it can we make an antidote specifically targeting the toxins in his body." As Xi Yu spoke, she ground a section of Li wood root into powder, and then added a little bit of wood yellow powder.
Yan San discovered that Xi Yu didn't need to use a high-precision measuring instrument to calculate the dosage; she could tell the exact dosage just by touching it with her finger.
