Judging from Wang Yonghai's reaction, he probably didn't know what Wang Kang did the first day, nor did he know how he got into the Tang Palace and why he came to trouble them for no reason.
So Sun Ming decided to take the initiative to give him some advice.
Before Wang Yonghai completely turned his back, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Shopkeeper Wang, Wang Kang swore in the palace this morning that he has something to do for the princess's illness. It just so happens that I can't do anything now, so why don't I ask Mr. Xu to take care of me again?" Go find Mr. Wang?"
After hearing Sun Ming's words, Wang Yonghai reacted subconsciously, but he didn't know what was going on yet.
I just had a vague feeling that Sun Ming's visit to the palace and his visit were all related to Wang Kang.
So he suppressed his anger and asked: "Then I don't know what we are going to do. How can you, Mr. Sun, do something about it?"
"Didn't I just say that the medicinal materials I reported are for the princess' treatment, but you don't have them."
Sun Ming gave Wang Yonghai a "Aren't you still a Taoist?" look and said with a half-smile.
Seeing this, Wang Yonghai knew that this matter could not be avoided, so he had to grit his teeth and stamp his feet: "Okay, but the medicinal materials you want, Mr. Sun, are really hard to find. It will take some time for us to get them together. From other places... "
"Three days is too short, it will take at least half a month!"
"Those two days."
"Young Master Sun! It will take at least ten days!"
Wang Yonghai was so angry at Sun Ming that his blood surged, but he could only hold it in.
However, Sun Ming ignored him and turned to Xu Jin: "Boss Xu, I can wait for ten days, but I can't guarantee that the princess can wait as well. Why don't we go back and ask the prince for permission first? I don’t agree to let the princess wait another ten days.”
"No, Shopkeeper Wang, please deliver the medicinal materials to the palace in three days."
Xu Jin didn't waste any time and just made the decision with a cold face.
In fact, he could tell from the beginning that Sun Ming made a special trip to Jichuntang not to buy medicine for the princess's illness, but to cause trouble for the Wang family.
Although he couldn't fully understand the internal reasons, he could still make some guesses.
Originally, Xu Jin was very dissatisfied with Sun Ming, who was trying to take advantage of the prince's palace and drag him along to prop up the situation, and he would definitely not let him succeed.
But thinking about Sun Ming's identity and the fact that he might be able to cure the princess, he couldn't bear it.
He even went along with the flow, which was regarded as selling Sun Ming a favor and helping him to stand up.
Who is Xu Jin?
The commander-in-chief of the Military and Horse Division of Nanyang Prefecture, a serious military attache of the seventh rank of the imperial court.
Although he was just a servant in the palace, he was an unattainable existence to a mere lowly merchant.
Not to mention asking them to hand over the things within three days, even if Jichuntang was confiscated on the spot, there would be no problem at all. At worst, they would just be blamed on the Wang family afterwards.
Could it be that there is still someone in Nanyang Mansion who can overthrow the Prince's Mansion?
Although Wang Yonghai was extremely reluctant, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. He agreed first and then went to Wang Kang to find out what was going on.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Sun Ming was satisfied, and then he continued: "Take your time to look for those medicinal materials, Mr. Wang. There are still some things, so bring them to me now."
"Mulberry leaves, gypsum, licorice, donkey-hide gelatin..."
He named all the medicines at once, this time they were really used to treat pneumonia.
This recipe is called "Qingzao Jiufei Decoction", which was written by Yu Chang, a famous doctor in the early Qing Dynasty. People didn't know it at this time.
However, the medicinal materials were simple. Wang Yonghai didn't take a moment to prepare them according to the detailed dosage reported by Sun Ming and handed them to Sun Ming.
After taking the medicine, he naturally wanted to return to the palace. Before leaving, Sun Ming did not forget to remind Wang Yonghai to hurry up and prepare the things he asked for earlier.
After leaving Jichuntang, Xu Jin asked: "Master Sun, is this medicine a real cure?"
"Of course, the princess' condition can be alleviated by immediately sending the president back to the palace to brew it and give it to the princess three times a day, morning and evening."
Sun Ming nodded and said.
"Relief? I would like to remind you that the prince wants you to cure the princess!"
After hearing Sun Ming's words, Xu Jin's face darkened and his tone became a little cold.
He originally thought that he would help Sun Ming stand up and vent his anger. Sun Ming should be aware of current affairs and treat the princess's illness attentively.
Unexpectedly, the last prescription he took out only alleviated the condition. This made Xu Jin feel like he had been tricked by Sun Ming, and he naturally felt bad.
Hearing this, Sun Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu. Since I promised the prince, I will do my best to treat the princess."
"Even if it's not for the princess, I still have to think about myself."
Xu Jin narrowed his eyes and then said: "I hope Mr. Sun will take care of himself."
After finishing speaking, he returned to the palace with the medicine.
Zhu Xiuyun's condition is getting worse and worse, and it has become more serious in recent days. Although the medicine Sun Ming took can only relieve it and cannot cure it, it is still better than nothing.
As for Qiu Wanli, he did not follow him. He still wanted to stay by Sun Ming's side, both to protect him and to prevent him from running away.
Sun Ming didn't care either.
Traditional Chinese medicine is still too slow to treat acute pneumonia.
Zhu Xiuyun had been infected for some time. If it weren't for the medicine prescribed by the doctors hired by the palace earlier, she would have been seriously ill.
It is obviously not possible to continue gradually, and immediate measures must be used, that is, antibiotics.
But there were no antibiotics in this era, so Sun Ming was the only one who had to think of a way, and he had already thought of this way.
The best thing to treat acute pneumonia is penicillin. This is also the reason why Wang Yonghai was only given three days.
Because Sun Ming will spend these three days cultivating and refining penicillin. When the time comes, it will be used by Zhu Xiuyun, and the condition will be resolved immediately.
However, cultivating and refining penicillin was not an easy task, mainly because the medical conditions in this era were so poor.
Even the most basic petri dishes are not available, and they have to be replaced by other things. The same is true for the equipment required for refining.
After wandering around Nanyang Mansion for a long time, he still couldn't find the best one, so Sun Ming had to find some suitable replacement items as much as possible, and then took these things back to Sun Mansion.
The next step is to cultivate penicillium and extract penicillin.
This process takes time, and there is no need to rush. Sun Ming asked the servants of the Sun family to find a pile of moldy and spoiled food first.
Find Penicillium and remove it, then put it into a petri dish containing culture medium solution and cover it with a damp cloth.
In order to prevent the failure rate from being too high and not being able to extract it in the end, he prepared more than a dozen petri dishes at one time. It was almost evening when he had finished all of them, and the only thing left was left to time.
