Chapter 186 Gastric lavage
Chapter 186 Gastric Lavage

Ye Xuan was also thinking hard. After a moment, Ye Xuan suddenly smiled and said, "Since we can't find the antidote, we can only use violence to detoxify!"

"Doctor Hua, you said that Lord Chengyi should not have been poisoned for long, right?"

Hua Yuan nodded blankly and replied: "Yes, from my observation, the poison in Lord Chengyi should be very strong, but Lord Chengyi is only unconscious at the moment, which shows that the poison is not serious."

"That's easy." Ye Xuan smiled and instructed Liu Lian, "Master Liu, please find a fresh beef or pig intestine right away, and some iron wire!"

Liu Lian's face was full of confusion, but under Ye Xuan's stern gaze he did not ask any more questions, but left quickly.

Hu Weiyong and Hua Yuan on the side were also shocked and puzzled. They didn't know what Ye Xuan wanted something like beef intestines for in such a critical situation.

Perhaps because he was too worried about his father's condition, Liu Lian only spent a little time and came back with a large basin of steaming small intestines.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned and said, "Take a five-foot long one and wash it."

Liu Lian also didn't ask any more questions. He was already at a loss. If Ye Xuan hadn't been in charge of the situation, he might have collapsed in anxiety.

Soon after, a section of fresh beef intestine and iron wire were placed in front of him.

At the same time, Ye Xuan had instructed the servants to mix the finest green salt with a large basin of warm water and place it aside.

Everyone stood there in confusion, not knowing what Ye Xuan was trying to do.

Ye Xuan suppressed his nausea, picked up the beef intestines, turned around and looked at the others, especially Liu Lian, and said, "You may not understand what I am going to do next, but I hope you will not interfere. Wait until I am done."

Liu Lian had no other options at this point and could only place all his hopes on Ye Xuan. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Captain Ye, everything depends on you. If you can save my father, you will be the greatest benefactor of my Chengyi Marquis's Mansion. I, Liu Lian, will definitely do my best to repay you!"

"Don't talk about repaying anything." Ye Xuan said solemnly: "Now let Lord Chengyi lie on his side and take away the pillow."

Liu Lian did not hesitate and together with his servants put Liu Bowen in a side-lying position.

Next, Ye Xuan passed the wire through the cow's small intestine, polished one end to make it smooth to avoid cutting, and then tied it to one end of the cow's small intestine. Then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, he slowly inserted the cow's small intestine into Liu Bowen's stomach from his mouth.

While recalling the gastric lavage video he had seen in his previous life, Ye Xuan estimated the distance to which the cow's small intestine should be inserted. When he put one end of the cow's small intestine into the basin of salt water, he saw bubbles coming out and knew it was almost there.

He took a funnel, connected it to the cow's small intestine, and used a ladle to pour the salt water from the funnel into Liu Bowen's stomach.

After a while, a large amount of mucus mixed with semi-digested food and gastric juice, mixed with salt water, flowed out of Liu Bowen's mouth, emitting a foul odor.

However, no one left the scene. They all stared at Ye Xuan's actions without blinking.

This scene made them dumbfounded.

Ye Xuan repeated this operation until Liu Bowen no longer spit out turbid digestive matter and his vomit became clear, then Ye Xuan stopped.

After pulling out the small intestine, Ye Xuan frowned, wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "I have done everything I can. Now it all depends on the fate of Lord Chengyi."

Hua Yuan came back to his senses and asked thoughtfully, "Master Ye, what did you do just now?"

Unconsciously, Hua Yuan began to use honorifics when addressing Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Gastric lavage!"

"Gastric lavage?"

Everyone was confused, but soon they thought of something and were horrified. "Could it be that they cleaned out Lord Chengyi's stomach to expel the toxins?" Hua Yuan was the first to exclaim.

Ye Xuan looked like a teachable boy and nodded.

Everyone was immediately amazed. They didn't expect that there was such miraculous medical skills in the world.

It is really hard to imagine that one could clean a living person's stomach using just a cow's intestine and a piece of wire.

Of course, even if they thought of it, they might not dare to do it even if they had the courage.

On the way, everyone fed Liu Bowen some rice soup.

Although he was still not awake, his complexion looked much better and his lips were no longer purple.

After Hua Yuan felt the pulse, he announced to everyone in shock: "Lord Chengyi's pulse is stable. He is fine except that he is still a little weak. It's just that a small amount of toxins have entered his body, so he is still unconscious."

Hearing this, Liu Lian finally felt relieved and immediately knelt down in front of Ye Xuan in front of everyone's surprised gazes.

He was the Right Councillor of Jiangxi Provincial Government, a third-rank official of the imperial court, not to mention that he was the son of Liu Bowen, the Marquis of Chengyi. But he actually knelt down and kowtowed to a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who was only a fifth-rank officer.

Anyone who sees this scene will feel like a dream.

Ye Xuan didn't feel like he was dreaming, but he was still somewhat flattered and reached out to pull it.

"Why are you doing this, Lord Liu!" Ye Xuan forcibly pulled Liu Lian up.

Liu Lian grabbed Ye Xuan's arm and said, "Lord Ye saved my father's life twice. I just kowtowed to him. How can it be compared with the life-saving grace?"

"Yes, yes!" Ye Xuan said, "I still say the same thing. This is all instructed by His Majesty himself. He asked me to take good care of the Earl of Chengyi no matter what I can do."

"Your Majesty, thank you so much for sending you here!" Liu Lian said with tears streaming down his face. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of Yingtian Prefecture.

Hu Weiyong laughed dryly and said, "Since Imperial Physician Hua and Captain Ye both said that Marquis Chengyi is fine, I will take my leave now!"

Several people saw him off, and after Hu Weiyong left, Hua Yuan also said goodbye.

But before leaving, Hua Yuan looked at Ye Xuan with admiration and apologized sincerely: "I am sorry for offending you these days. I hope you can forgive me, Master Ye. I am too ignorant to recognize a master in person!"

Ye Xuan is not a person who cares about trivial matters. Since Hua Yuan has already surrendered, he will not be unreasonable.

A bow and a smile will put all grudges to rest.

After the two of them left, Ye Xuan turned to look at Liu Lian and said, "Master Liu, don't you think this is strange?"

"You mean my father was suddenly poisoned?" Liu Lian said angrily, "I will definitely get to the bottom of this. I will not let him off if he dares to poison my father!"

"Tracking down the murderer is not a matter of a moment," Ye Xuan said sternly, "If you dare to attack the Earl of Chengyi, you will not back down when you encounter a little difficulty."

"Lord Ye means that the murderer will not give in and will strike again?" Liu Lian was shocked.

Ye Xuan nodded.
