Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Fang Zheng Yi walked to the princess's bed again and observed for a while.

He found that besides a fever, she seemed to just be coughing, and he couldn't see anything special.

Hearing Hu Taiyi say it was a lung disease, he couldn't help but feel it was a bit like pneumonia, but after all, he wasn't a medical professional, so he couldn't be sure at all.

He could only turn to Li Yuanzhao and say, "Your Highness, let's go. It's useless to stay here, lest we disturb the princess's rest."

Li Yuanzhao nodded heavily.

The two walked to the outside of the hall door, Li Yuanzhao leaned against the pillar dejectedly, and said softly: "Lao Fang, do you know, Miao Han is my closest sister. We have been together since we were young. She is only one month younger than me and has always been weak and sickly."

"When I saw her in such pain today, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and I couldn't wait to kill that quack doctor immediately!"

Fang Zheng Yi stood aside in silence.

Li Yuanzhao continued sadly: "I thought you had a lot of ideas and could find a way to save her... I didn't expect...."

"What am I going to do if she leaves!"

The two were silent for a long time.

Li Yuanzhao suddenly looked up at Fang Zheng Yi and said: "Lao Fang, do you want a wife?"

"? ? ?"

Li Yuanzhao suddenly said this, and Fang Zheng Yi suddenly felt that the style of painting had changed too quickly, and his heart couldn't accept it.

"I remembered that there seems to be a method called 'Chong Xi' among the people. Why don't I marry Miao Han to you and try 'Chong Xi'!"

"This is the only way. Only you are okay. I would never agree to another man!"

"Just tell me if you are willing!"

Fang Zheng Yi looked up at the sky speechlessly. Marrying a dying princess to himself, is the prince doing this for my good, or does he hate me?

He smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness, those are just folk legends. If 'Chong Xi' could cure diseases, there would be no wars in this world..."

Hearing this, a string in Li Yuanzhao's heart seemed to suddenly break!

He jumped up and grabbed Fang Zheng Yi's arms forcefully, roaring: "You say!! Then you say!! What else can I do!!"

Fang Zheng Yi immediately tore open Li Yuanzhao's hand and shouted: "Calm down!"

"The most important thing now is to find a way to save the princess. What are you yelling so loudly for! Is it useful! ?"

Being shouted at by Fang Zheng Yi, Li Yuanzhao woke up and slumped to the ground, muttering: "What else can I do... What else can I do..."

Seeing his distraught appearance, Fang Zheng Yi couldn't help but empathize.

The prince is also a man of emotion...

He opened his mouth helplessly and said: "Perhaps... I have a way... but the hope is very slim."

Li Yuanzhao jumped up like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and said excitedly: "Lao Fang! You really have a way! Tell me quickly!"

"There is something called penicillin that might be able to cure the princess's disease."

Fang Zheng Yi had hesitated for a long time before deciding to say it, and he didn't have any hope in his heart at all.

Penicillin was a panacea in later generations, soft gold during wartime.

It is extremely safe and has played an immeasurable role in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Fang Zheng Yi had just watched a drama before he crossed over, which explained in detail the preparation of penicillin by indigenous methods.

However, he only remembered the general idea, and the details still need to be pondered.

But to ensure that the procedure is correct, the preparation environment is qualified, and the knowledge on TV dramas is reliable, these three items must be met at the same time... So the success rate in his heart is basically zero.

Seeing the prince like this, now he can only treat a living horse as a dead horse.

"I have a way to get this medicine, but don't publicize this matter before it is successful, and it takes time to make the medicine. Whether the princess can hold on before that depends on luck..."

Li Yuanzhao was so excited: "Okay! Okay, Lao Fang, tell me what to do! I'll find someone to help you!"

..................

The two hit it off and immediately rushed back to the East Palace, ordering Liu Jin to get a few baskets of oranges.

Put all the oranges in a dark place to allow mold to grow. After several days, mold began to climb on the surface of the oranges.

Fang Zheng Yi also asked people to get rice and taro and boil them into juice, which was roughly made into a culture medium.

Finally, the greenest strains of Penicillium on the orange peel were selected as much as possible and placed on the culture medium.

After a week, the culture medium was almost completed, and vegetable oil was added to it and stirred.

Since penicillin is a water-soluble substance, this step is to continue purification.

Next, add carbon powder and continue stirring to purify.

For the subsequent steps, Fang Zheng Yi vaguely remembered that acid water and alkaline water were used to further purify penicillin.

I don’t know how to get acidic water, so I can only use vinegar directly. As for alkali, there is plenty in the imperial kitchen, although the purity cannot be guaranteed at all.

Several steps must be filtered in the middle. There is no filter paper. Fang Zheng Yi specially brought hand paper produced in Taoyuan County from home!

The hand paper is specially supplied by the Taoyuan County Yamen. It is tough, soft, breathable, water-permeable, and has high density, which is much stronger than ordinary Xuan paper.

Because of the lack of disinfection methods, the hand paper was exposed to the sun to sterilize it when the sun was strong.

The syringe was also handcrafted by a silversmith, and the rubber stopper was replaced with animal tendons.

All experiments were carried out in an orderly manner, and Fang Zheng Yi's confidence was constantly built up in each experiment!

In order to ensure safety and rigor, Fang Zheng Yi reversed the uncertain experimental order, and all experimental equipment was steamed and boiled at high temperature. The ratio of acid and alkali water was also adjusted in groups. Finally, after statistics, a total of twenty-seven experimental groups were set up!

The prince only had a small amount of time to participate because he was caught skipping class and was severely reprimanded by Yan Guoan and Jingdi.

Fang Zheng Yi was of course scolded along with him, but this could not stop the continuation of the two people's experiment.

During the preparation of penicillin, the princess inexplicably fell ill again, but fortunately, she survived again without any danger.

Finally! Half a month later, all the penicillin in the experimental group was successfully prepared, and Fang Zheng Yi also summarized a thick notebook, which recorded in detail the experimental process of each group!

Fang Zheng Yi looked at the twenty-seven small silver bowls with lids on the table, each containing a portion of penicillin, and a sense of pride rose in his heart!

This is the first time since I crossed over that I have done an experiment by myself and taken a great step in human history!

Li Yuanzhao looked at these silver bowls, and his heart couldn't help but start to beat.

I have never heard of such a way to treat diseases, but Lao Fang is a strange man! There is naturally a reason for doing this!

You have to believe him! You have to believe him!

"Lao Fang! What should we do next?"

Fang Zheng Yi said: "Whether this medicine can cure the disease is one thing, our top priority is to verify the safety of penicillin. I need some death row prisoners. The next thing is up to your Highness...."

Li Yuanzhao readily agreed.

I don't know what method he used, but early the next morning, a thick list of death row prisoners was sent to Fang Zheng Yi's hands.

Fang Zheng Yi looked through the list, and his face became darker and darker...

Each list records one by one what the prisoner has done. Things like murder and arson, adultery and rape of women are trivial in it. There are even many perverts who enjoy eating people and are addicted to abuse.

Originally, twenty-seven people were scheduled to participate in the experiment, but Fang Zheng Yi selected more than forty people.

I originally wanted to cancel it... But considering the differences between individuals, I finally felt that it would be good to select more people to get more accurate results. The princess has no time, so this time we must succeed in one go and not fail!

So he ticked a few more to make up fifty-four people.

Three days later, a dungeon in the capital.

It has been transformed into a huge Japanese-shaped prison. The dungeon is covered with oil lamps, but it still appears somewhat dim.

It is separated by curtains in the middle. Fang Zheng Yi is afraid that the prisoners' bodies are too dirty and they will sneeze and breathe to spread some bacteria, polluting the experimental products.

Because the prince was caught skipping class, only Fang Zheng Yi was here for the experiment today.

More than a dozen guards guarded Fang Zheng Yi. In front of him was a large table, on which twenty-seven silver bowls were placed.

Fang Zheng Yi silently extracted the penicillin from the twenty-seven silver bowls into silver syringes with numbers.

Everything was ready, and the curtain in the middle of the dungeon was slowly opened.

More than fifty death row prisoners looked at the young man in front of them through the prison door, and they were a little uneasy. This was the first time they had such an unusual prison experience.

Fang Zheng Yi slowly said: "Everyone, don't be nervous. The reason why everyone is gathered here today is to test a new drug for the warriors of our Great Jing."

"This medicine can detoxify all poisons! It is extremely safe, but you need to talk about your experience after using it."

"The lucky prisoners who participate in the experiment today will each receive a reward of twenty taels of silver, which will be distributed after the autumn!"

"After the experiment is successful, I will also ask the court to pardon you from the death penalty and change it to life imprisonment!"

"Okay, I'm done talking, who agrees, who opposes?"

As soon as Fang Zheng Yi finished speaking, all the guards around him put their hands on the handles of their knives.

They cursed in their hearts, damn it, you really know how to find work for us!!

"I object! Aren't you just trying to kill us! If you have the guts, give us a quick one!"

"Slap him!"

The guard stepped forward, opened the prison door and slapped the prisoner twice.

The prisoner suddenly shrank into the corner aggrievedly.

The other prisoners also looked at each other.

Have you been a pervert all your life, and you've finally met a real pervert?

There must be something wrong with your medicine! And you're thinking of giving out bonuses after the fall, you son of a bitch!

And life imprisonment, I might as well die sooner!

Seeing that no one objected, Fang Zheng Yi was very satisfied.

"Okay! Then let's start the experiment. Go, take them out in groups of two!"

The guard opened the prison door and led out two death row inmates. Then, several men stepped forward and pinned one of them to a chair. Fang Zheng Yi picked up a syringe, pierced the needle into the condemned man's vein, and slowly injected the contents.

It was Fang Zheng Yi's first time giving an injection, and beads of cold sweat popped out on his forehead. Fortunately, it ended quickly.

The second prisoner was pressed onto the table, his pants pulled down, and he received a shot in the buttocks. This one was much easier!

After the two death row inmates received their injections, a label was stuck on their arms, and they were sent back.

Soon, more than fifty people were treated one by one in the same manner, all of them receiving injections.

..........

An hour later, Li Yuan Zhao, dressed in a guard's uniform, burst into the dungeon, shouting!

"Lao Fang! Lao Fang! How are those death row inmates! Did it work!"

Li Yuan Zhao was extremely nervous. Whether his sister could live depended on this!

Fang Zheng Yi was standing facing the curtain when he heard Li Yuan Zhao's shouts and turned his head.

The candlelight in the dungeon flickered continuously, and the changing light and shadows constantly reflected on Fang Zheng Yi's sharply defined face, making him appear mysterious and unpredictable.

Meeting Li Yuan Zhao's hopeful gaze, Fang Zheng Yi slowly turned around, his voice filled with immense disappointment and a trace of sorrow.

"They're all dead."
