Liuli could still remember from reading that bizarre transcending novel, she had a scornful attitude, thinking that the author writing such a bizarre scene must have had something wrong with his brain.
She couldn't be any more grateful to that author seeing as her present predicament and the story she read were too alike. She felt a little creeped out.
She also did not expect that she would be in the same situation she use to ridicule. She liked to pull her best friend who was also a medical doctor along to laugh at the novel's female lead refining salicylic acid without filtering purification and chemical decomposition conditions. There were some simple experimental instruments for distillation flasks and other things, but what about her? She had to use the big iron wok for it.
What could Ye Liuli do? She was also desperate.
But this section of bowls and iron pots must also be used, as the prince cannot be killed!
Gu Yanxi stood not far from Ye Liuli, with a complex look.
Now he dared not to underestimate this Ye Liuli, although she still behaved strangely from time to time saying some incomprehensible things, but whether it is because of the stitching on the Lord's head or distilled alcohol, he had a hunch ... this woman will change this kingdom. Not only will it change this kingdom, she could change everything in the continent.
Although Gu Yanxi thought that this idea was too ridiculous.
Ye Liuli thought about it, turned around, his face pressed into a firm look, "Does Master. Gu know where there is a willow tree?"
"What does the princess want from the willow?" Gu Yanxi asked in a deep voice.
"Willow bark can be used to extract a substance to reduce fever and temperature," Ye Liuli said earnestly.
Gu Yanxi nodded, "please follow me, Princess." Then he turned to the backyard of the palace.
There was a large lake in the backyard of the palace. Although it was artificially repaired, it was formed naturally. There were many willow trees by the lake. Although it was slightly cold in spring, the willow branches were quietly pumping buds, which looked very tender.
Ye Liuli walked towards one of the willow trees, touched it, looked up, and then said to the guards who followed behind them, "Would you help me cut some bark?"
Although the guard couldn't understand what the beautiful new princess wanted the willow bark for, he obediently set to scraping the bark off for her like she wanted. Without saying a word, he cut off a few pieces of bark.
A group of people returned to the kitchen still curiously watching the new princess. Ye Liuli didn't mind, instead she just concentrated on preparing the salicylic acid. She looked at the iron wok that was still exuding a little smell of wine, and sighed.
She brushed the iron pot clean, cut the willow bark into the pot, added water and brought it to boil.
Gu Yanxi finally did not hold back, "Princess, willow bark can cure fever? Is this what you were taught?"
Ye Liuli nodded. "There is something called salicylic acid in the willow bark. Salicylic acid is a fat-soluble organic acid. It is also one of the main ingredients in aspirin and many painkillers. It is used in clinical trials. To reduce the long-term risk of heart disease in diabetic patients. But this is not the most important thing. The main thing is that salicylic acid is a good medicine for high fever and cooling. "
Gu Yanxi frowned. "The princess's words don't make sense to me at all."
Ye Liuli raised an eyebrow. "I said these are just to answer your questions. I didn't expect you to understand." After a short while, she paused. "Although salicylic acid is good, refining it is dangerous."
"What danger?" Gu Minxi warned.
"Salicylic acid stimulates the skin and mucous membranes, and because it can react with proteins in the body's tissues, it has a corrosive effect. It has a certain toxicity. If taken in large amounts, it can cause vomiting, diarrhea, headache, sweating, rash, and shortness of breath, acidosis and excitement. "
