The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

241-245

Bang!

The bucket of bath water fell.

Eunuch Sun courteously asked Helian Wei Wei, "Eldest Miss, the bucket of water and the wine are now ready. Would you like something else?"
"There's still the firewood." Helian Wei Wei did not raise her head.
"Yes..." Eunuch Sun hesitated for a moment and asked people to prepare the things supposed to be used for bathing.
After the firewood was brought in, Helian Wei Wei ordered people to boil water, and then had the Retired Emperor and all the ministers sit in the cask.

The scene was not so much saving lives as steaming people with boiling water.

Under the cask was an iron rack. Below it, firewood was burning. The firewood burned more and more vigorously. In a short time, the room became full of steam.

Up to now, the ministers were in a daze. They were resigned to keep trying everything in this desperate situation. They didn't believe at all that the little girl in front of them can help them rid the bone-eroding poison.

When Helian Wei Wei saw the water was boiled, she poured all the wine in the wine jar into the bath buckets.

Doing these things, she did not spend more than the time it took an incense stick to burn.
When a doctor saved a person, whatever he did seemed particularly convincing.

However.
"You can detoxify this way?" Eunuch Sun looked at His Majesty anxiously. Wouldn't this be unsafe should there be a mishap to the Retired Emperor and the other old men?
Helian Wei Wei was totally unaffected by others. She even got Yuan Ming to pick a tomato from the mysterious spatial space to compensate for her physical strength.

She stood lazily in the midst of the vapour and tested the water temperature in the barrel with her hand.

Helian Wei Wei randomly took the medical ingredients brought by the Imperial Physician and threw them into the bathtub one by one.

The boiling water took those medicinal herbs to the bottom of the cask in an instant, and the smell of medicine in the room became more and more concentrated. The smell made Yuan Ming choked when he breathing it in, "Woman, what are you doing putting these things in a hideous mess? You don't need these things to detoxify them. Martial artists only need to use internal force to remove the poison in them."

"Didn't do this to make myself look more professional?" Helian Wei Wei continued throwing medicinal herbs inside and lazily answered, "Otherwise, if I detoxify them as soon as I start, everyone will know that I am a martial artist. Now I also have an identity of a phoenix so that I can not expose my strength. Moreover... this makes my medical skills seem more outstanding."
Yuan Ming was finally convinced.
When he looked sideways, the Imperial Physician seriously memorized what kind of herbs Helian Wei Wei had thrown into the cask, even the order of the herbs that she had thrown in. He whispered, giving a look that he was very clear about something and had on an expectant look that blatantly showed"I memorized it"!

What was this all about at such a time?

"All right." Helian Wei Wei released the herbs in her hands, then sat on the floor, palms supporting the outside of the cask, with a little effort!

With the previous steaming of alcohol and sweat, it took only a second for the poisonous gas to spill out of the barrel.
The ministers looked at the surge of black gas and knew they were saved!
One after another, they sat straight with both legs folded and eyes closed.
Helian Wei Wei frowned, she felt that doing this one by one was a waste of time. She simply put one hand on one side of the cask, while exerting force, boiling water to a rolling boil and the top of the barrel formed a silent air stream.
