Episode 86. Love Potion (2)
“Your Highness.”
When the fireman appeared, the city doctor, who was trying to feed Hyeonbi with charcoal powder, hurriedly stepped aside.
From his point of view, it would be good if he could save Hyeonbi, but if he couldn’t, there was a high probability that he would have to take responsibility for it.
Of course, it is unfair to take responsibility for the death, but there were many cases in which the poet of this era was angry for absurd things.
“Please put Hyeonbi Mama on the bed.”
“yes.”
When the fireman gave the order, the guards lifted the body of the hyeonbi and put it on the bed.
“Only heat the water until it feels slightly warm to the touch. And bring several empty barrels and bowls.”
“yes.”
The fireman gave up the order, washed the coffin he was holding with distilled liquor, opened the Hyeonbi’s mouth, and inserted the coffin into the esophagus.
‘I can’t tell what kind of poison it is because I washed my mouth clean.’
“What poison did you drink? And how long has it been since you ate?”
“I don’t know the type of poison yet. The ti was less than half an hour.”
“It’s half an angle… that’s fortunate.”
‘This is enough to go into the stomach.’
After asuring the length of the coffin, the fireman laid Hyeonbi’s body on the left side.
Since the stomach is tilted to the left, it was to prevent regurgitation when pouring water.
Next, I bent my knees halfway, putting pressure on my stomach.
When the abdon is compressed, the pyloric opening between the stomach and duodenum is compressed, preventing stomach contents from flowing into the duodenum as much as possible.
‘When the poison enters, the pylorus tightens and blocks the entrance, so the poison has not entered the duodenum yet.’
This was the reason why people who had just drank poison could only wash their stomachs.
If the pylorus is overly sensitive, it often stings.
“Give a blanket.”
“yes.”
The painter took the blanket from Shibi and put it under Hyeonbi’s legs, adjusting the slope so that her body leaned slightly downward.
‘Whoa~. I’m the only one who knows how, so I have to do it myself. it’s tough.’
Things that would have been fast if two or three of us did it, kept getting late when we did it alone.
As ti goes by, the poison will be absorbed into the body, increasing the risk.
The painter busied himself, checking to see if he had missed anything.
‘The teeth might bite the coffin, so I guess that’s the last thing I can do to prevent it.’
After inserting a thickly rolled cloth between the teeth, the contents of the stomach were first removed using a bamboo syringe.
‘Ouk!’
When I sniffed it lightly, it slled sour and disgusting.
‘I don’t know what kind of poison it is… but it’s terrible.’
“Please scoop so water into the gourd.”
“yes.”
When Sibi brought the water, he poured it lightly into his hand, checked the temperature, and poured it over the wide spout of the pipe.
‘The temperature is just right and you only need to pour 200 to 300 milliliters of water.’
A strange sound ca from Hyeonbi’s throat
.
‘Fortunately, she’s breathing, so she doesn’t need artificial respiration…’
The fireman asured the amount of water, pointed the spout of the tube under the bed, and turned her body to the other side.
Since the stomach is tilted to the left, if you turn your body like this, you will naturally reflux and the contents will co out better.
Kwak-kwak-
The painter saw the water and venom coming out of his stomach, and he thought that the position of Sang-sang’s wife was also very pitiful.
‘Normally I wouldn’t go so far as to commit suicide even if I couldn’t conceive, but what would pregnancy an to end my life?’
He felt sorry for himself for ruthlessly rejecting her request.
The poets made faces of surprise as they watched the painter insert a long tube into Hyeonbi’s mouth and forcefully feed him water and make him vomit.
‘How did you separate the esophagus from the airway?’
The reason why the city doctors couldn’t forcibly feed her unconscious water with charcoal powder was because they were worried that it might get into the airways.
However, the tube the painter had inserted seed to have entered the esophagus.
Not only did they not distinguish between the airway and the esophagus yet, but they also did not even think of washing the stomach with water by inserting a tube into the esophagus like that.
The dical knowledge they know is that they have to vomit poison, and that way is to feed them with charcoal powdered water. In so cases they were fed other things, but in many cases they were not alive.
In the end, life and death depend on luck…
‘If I wash my stomach like that, I’ll be able to survive even if I eat poison.’
While the courtiers were surprised and the superiors and courtiers were stomping their feet, the hwabu washed the stomach of the hyeonbi as many as five tis.
‘Should this be enough?’
All that was left was clean water.
The painter received the water from Hyeonbi’s stomach in a small bowl, examined it closely, and even tasted it slightly by dipping his finger.
‘Okay, I think I’m almost done.’
The fireman washed his stomach once more and called for a doctor who had charcoal water.
“Bring that here.”
“Charcoal water?”
“yes.”
“Here it is.”
“Please raise Hyeonbimama, sit her down, and support her back so she can lie down.”
“Like this.”
“yes. Stay as you are.”
When Hyeonbi was sitting at an angle, the fireman lifted the coffin over her head and fed her with charcoal powdered water.
“Are you a maid there? Go get so oil.”
“Gee oil? which?”
“It’s sothing you can eat. The remaining poison in the body must be expelled through diarrhea. Please bring it.”
“I see.”
Old Sibi ran like the wind and soon brought oil.
The painter poured a whole barrel of clear oil into the coffin and fed it to Hyeonbi.
“Now that it’s done, don’t lay it down and hold it as it is.”
The fireman took the coffin out of Hyeonbi’s mouth and noticed that her closed eyes were trembling.
‘You’ve co to your senses!’
I closed my eyes and pretended to be unconscious, but I couldn’t stand the pain of the hose coming out.
The fireman didn’t show any signs of embarrassing her, and after removing the coffin, he wiped off the dirt around her face with a cloth.
“Why did you save ?”
A small voice that only the fireman could hear flowed from Hyunbi’s mouth.
The fireman paused for a mont, then looked at the anxious statue from a little distance. And he replied calmly in a small voice.
“Because living is a hundred tis better than dying.”
“Are you saying that being abandoned by your husband because you couldn’t conceive is better than dying?”
“If you prepare your body and prepare it, you will conceive at the ti appointed by heaven.”
“Didn’t you already reject ? And your husband is already giving affection to another woman.”
“A man’s heart is like a reed. I’ll give you an elixir later that can control not only the mind, but also the body… Grab hold of it.”
“Have a swing?”
Hyeonbi’s closed eyes flashed open.
As a result of the aftereffects of crossing the river of death, her eyes were more bloodshot than a rabbit, but her eyes looking at the painter contained strong anticipation.
The fireman t her eyes and shrugged.
‘The musk pheromone is a little fraudulent, but… well, that’s okay.’
The painter knew that musk was among the herbal ingredients.
Musk is a precious dicine used for paralysis or paralysis because it has the effect of clearing clogged places.
In particular, if you refine it well and take it, you can expect a little aphrodisiac effect, so I thought it might be perfect for Hyunbi now.
The effect of pheromones in musk is known even in modern tis. Of course, there was no way to know such efficacy in this era.
The fireman spoke into Hyunbi’s ear in a small voice that even the woman next to him couldn’t hear.
“Originally, I have no interest in my forr governnt job. And I didn’t want to worry about anything that wasn’t a matter of life and death. So I just wanted to go back. It’s just that I received help from Gocho, and Mama’s heart for the prize seems to be too deep. I will definitely help you to deepen your love for Mama.”
Hyeonbi’s eyes widened after hearing the fireman’s words.
“Am I really? Can you do that with dicine?”
“It’s hard to say for sure, but I can help the two of you deepen your bond.”
The painter was a little embarrassed to say such a thing, but what she needed now was hope, so she put a steel plate on her face for a while.
As the fireman stepped back, Hyeonbi spoke with a desperate look.
“I believe.”
“Then, don’t show your face to Sang as much as possible for now. It’s not because it’s pretty. Say hello as briefly as possible… don’t talk too much.”
“I get it.”
The painter stepped back and bowed his head toward the table.
“Fortunately, it seems that he passed the hurdle by making him vomit the poison quickly.”
“That’s right. Hyuna, are you okay now?”
“Your Highness.”
“Right now, Mama needs absolute peace, so I can’t say much.”
“Yeah, I got it.”
After hearing the painter’s words, Sang hugged Hyeon-bi and wiped the tears from her eyes.
“Your Highness.”
“Don’t say anything and use your strength to recover for the ti being.”
“…..”
“Sir, please allow to use the dicinal materials of the doctor’s office so that Mama can recover quickly.”
“I will. Please make Hyeon feel better.”
“yes. I will do my best.”
The painter stepped aside and looked at the statue hugging Hyeonbi again.
‘He’s a man who loves many won… He must be really tired.’
* * *
The ramifications of Hyeonbi’s suicide were truly enormous.
What are the ingredients of the poison, how did the poison get into Hyeon-bi’s hands, and even the disputes that Hyeon-bi didn’t even notice while drinking the poison.
The atmosphere in the palace was quite heinous as they were being dragged in and being interrogated one after another.
Like a person who had nothing to do with such an atmosphere, the painter was going in and out of Uicheong’s dicinal stock as if he were at ho, taking and using various dicinal materials.
The city doctors and governnt officials who manage dicinal materials already knew the status of the fireman, so they gave them all, no matter how expensive, as they were told.
‘Whoops! This musk can be used for Hyeonbimama, and wild ginseng, deer antler, these are sent to Boon hyung, and Angelica, Cheonma, and Baekgwisan purify the blood, so I can send them to my mother. Let’s see the eldest brother…. There is also Sanjoin, and let’s mix a little bit of Changpo Bokryeong. It will help you study. I also have wild ginseng and baeksuo. Is this Gongcheongyu? Will I get better if I eat so of this? His physical strength was low compared to his internal strength, so his balance was bad, but this will get better.’
As the painter has accumulated knowledge of oriental dicine on top of knowledge of future dicine, he has recently been able to combine the composition ratio of the so-called elixir in his head.
The dicines needed to increase one’s physical strength and endurance, the dicines to neutralize the side effects of those dicines, and the ratios they should be combined with.
Of course, there was a risk because I had never made an elixir with this kind of dicine before, but it was sothing that could be reduced to clinical trials using animals.
‘Well, when the combination is complete, shall we feed the flurry? Oh, he’s fine these days too, but since he’s showing signs he couldn’t eat when he was young, he’ll have to be seen with Hasuo and an antler.’
A smile ca to the corners of the painter’s lips.
The painter took all the expensive and precious dicinal materials from the dicine stock and started making sweet dicine at Yeoncheong Gaeksa.
Of course, the first thing to make was musk perfu and dicine for Hyeonbi.
“To think I, a doctor, was making perfu.”
The fireman sighed as he drew out the distillation of the incense. Well, in modern tis, perfu is an inexhaustibly expensive luxury item. If you think about it, you can’t even say that academic is shorter than dicine. In so ways, it is also the best business that goes hand in hand with mankind…..
“Eh… So, originally, perfu is a product that can cost millions of won if made well. Then… Couldn’t we make a little more and sell it to noble ladies?”
Change your stereotypes and you will see money.
I don’t think I’ll grow it as a business, but wouldn’t it be quite profitable if I made so and sold it?
I don’t know if there are many noble ladies with similar stories to Hyeonbi. Since this era did not set a limit on the number of wives and concubines, a woman’s secret plan to seize a man could have been worth a thousand gold pieces.
“Okay, let’s make a little more while we’re already making it.”
When he thought of money, a hum ca out of the fireman’s nose.
‘How much do you charge for a bottle? I think it will sell even if I get 5 gold coins… Whooping, I’ll have to decide the price after looking at the person who will buy it.’
When the musk, which had a very unpleasant sll, was diluted with the spirit and other fragrances were added, the fragrance began to mix exquisitely.
It was such a beautiful scent that the fireman’s heart was excited.
“This should be enough.”
The painter smiled broadly as he felt the subtly reacting lower part. The perfu was then poured into several vials and sealed.
“Six bottles. Haha…..”
The painter made the perfu and took the remaining musk and dicinal herbs and put them in the bag.
“Senator, no, Master.”
At that ti, Obo, who was morizing dical books, called the painter.
Obo recently started learning dicine in earnest from Hwabu and was calling him Master.
“why.”
“Hyeonbimama’s fertility has co. But what is it?”
“this?”
The fireman smiled brightly.
“It is a love potion.”
“A love potion? Do you have any dicine for that?”
“Yes, there is such a thing.”
The painter smiled and put the gourd he was going to present to Hyeonbi into his bosom.
“It’s not for you to learn, so stop caring about it and put it away until I return.”
“yes.”
Obo nodded.
When the painter went out of the inn and disappeared along with the fight, Obo started to clean up.
“This slls really good.”
Obo cleaned up the things left by the painter and was intoxicated by the scent. How could there be such a beautiful scent in the world? Even so, when the painter made this inside, there was a riot among quarrels outside.
‘A young god nad Hwabu makes the most beautiful incense in the world.’
Rumors quickly spread throughout the castle.
