Chapter t.i.tle: Vampire, What? (6)

Chapter no. 59

(Qin Zetian's POV)

It was almost in the hour of liang dian that I managed to leave the library. What I did there was comparable with what I did before I took bar exam. Well back then I earned a license as an attorney but I never wanted to be a lawyer, yet my dad just pursued me to take it up for the purpose of running a business. Back then globalization governed the world. According to Mohan (2009), economic globalization refers to free movement of goods, capital, services, technology and information. [1]

Right now I need to determine the type of poison that the empress was given; be it coming from food, drinks, and/ or occurring from the air or the water around her palace. I need to base everything from the findings that even the imperial doctors have not noticed. Then I will test a formula of a medication and try if it will work for her condition. I will need to reconsider her blood pressure, sadly there are no equipment to test it and will make me resort to letting her drink a tonic that lowers blood pressure. Next I need to reconsider a normalization in her body's sugar. And another reconsideration is the dosage of the medicine. The empress has a weak const.i.tution and I don't have clear records of her having an asthma since this is ancient times.

Absolutely troublesome, I need to work in a time where machines are not yet invented and there are only needles. Well I will trouble the blacksmith to create sets of medical equipment for me. If I could only use magic, then I have already resorted to that, sadly I am powerless.

I hurriedly went to the alchemistic room. When I arrived, I immediately think of creating tonics, luckily the ingredients are accessible in the pavilion beside it. It's actually very refres.h.i.+ng to see tons of herbs in a green garden that is well maintained. And I forgot to ask my father for his permission before entering this area. I chuckled and went on with the ingredients.

What a lovely sight.

Ancient times surely amazes me.

I wash the herbs thoroughly, removing unnecessary impurities with the freshly cut herb tips. Then I sat down and started with the procedures I've written in my journal book.

It was almost lunch time by the time that I was done with the medicines. There are in liquid and solid forms. I'll try which works best for the empress. So I gathered the medicines and cleaned the area. Then I went to back to my room and asked Han Yuomei to deliver me breakfast while Han Wan prepared my bath and the dress I'll wear for the day.

Being a soldier meant bathing is not a problem when you're busy. I ate as I walk towards the empress' courtyard in our residence.

I saw her alone.

"Good morning your majesty" I said

"I haven't seen you for so long, come here, and let this aunt see you" the queen said

I sat beside her and let Han Wan lay the basket with the medicines.

"Aunt, I have here a batch of medicines, first we need to eliminate the poison in your body. Then we need to nourish it back to health. You will take the medicine in one week, then you are free to take nouris.h.i.+ng pills. I will Han Yuomei handle everything since I have already instructed her."

"Thank you, this means a lot to me. I don't know how I can repay you. If you need anything else, feel free to tell me."

I nodded, then the empress hugged.

It's somewhat strange though.

This feeling.

Why is it that I feel a closer bond to her than my own mother?
