Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 99 Nian Duan: Artemisinin?

Xu Lin was startled upon hearing this, then reluctantly released Jing Ni's jade leg, abruptly stood up, and headed straight for the study.

Jing Ni's skin was as smooth as jade, and although Xu Lin's force was very light, her fair and rounded thighs still turned red as a result.

After witnessing this scene, Yan Lingji slowly walked towards Jing Ni.

"lady."

Why didn't you refuse just now?

Yan Lingji asked, puzzled.

She had just noticed out of the corner of her eye that Jingni was in great pain.

"reject?"

"Reject what?"

Jingni asked while adjusting her skirt.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji lifted her skirt and placed her hand on her thigh.

"You saw everything just now?"

Upon seeing this, Jingni blushed and immediately asked.

I caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye.

Yan Lingji nodded.

What do you think I should do?

Jing Ni suddenly stood up and asked in a cold voice.

She was just holding back, but she is Xu Lin's woman. What should she do? Does she need Yan Lingji to teach her?
Seeing the displeasure in Jingni's eyes, Yan Lingji hesitated to speak.

Jingni is Xu Lin's woman, and the two already have a daughter. As an outsider, she shouldn't interfere in their marital affairs.

"I do not know."

"I was just saying it casually, I hope you won't mind, Madam."

After a moment's hesitation, Yan Lingji smiled sweetly.

Then, swaying her hips, she left.

……

at the same time.

study.

Ying Zheng was telling Xu Lin about the malaria outbreak in Sichuan and Chongqing.

Xu Lin listened attentively, after all, this was no small matter.

"Do you know anything about malaria, sir?"

After he finished speaking, Ying Zheng asked.

"I have some understanding of it."

Xu Lin answered.

"Sir, you are a man of great learning; do you have a way to cure malaria?"

Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.

"A ruler is long, an inch is short."

"Treating the sick and saving lives is not my forte."

"Mr. Nian Duan may have a solution."

"We will go to the Nian residence."

Xu Lin shook his head, then said.

Ying Zheng looked pleased upon hearing this, and then personally poured Xu Lin a bowl of boiled water.

Xu Lin happily took the teacup, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Just as Ying Zheng was about to leave, Yan Lingji suddenly walked into the study carrying a plate of melons, fruits, and candied fruit.

"Is this Miss Yan?"

Ying Zheng looked in the direction of the sound and asked.

"Correct."

Xu Lin nodded.

"This humble woman, Yan Lingji, greets the King of Qin!"

Yan Lingji bowed slightly.

"No gift."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"Sir, your judgment remains as excellent as ever; I admire you!"

Ying Zheng forced a smile.

After saying this, he and Zhao Gao left the Xu residence.

The people of Sichuan and Chongqing are suffering, and he has no mood to chat about beauties with Xu Lin at the Xu residence.

"Are these fruits and candied fruits prepared for me?"

After Ying Zheng walked away, Xu Lin approached Yan Lingji, grabbed a handful of candied fruit from the plate, and asked while eating.

"if not?"

"Even a drop of water in need deserves a spring in return, let alone the life-saving grace of you, sir?"

Yan Lingji puffed out her chest and asked in return with a charming smile.

Although she wasn't particularly large-chested, she liked to puff out her chest, and since most of her clothes were tight-fitting, it often gave people the illusion that hers were larger.

Actually, that's not the case. Not to mention compared to Jing Ni, even compared to Li Ji or Li Wu, Yan Ling Ji might not be able to win easily.

Fortunately, Xu Lin doesn't blindly pursue size; otherwise, Li Wu and Yan Ling Ji probably wouldn't have been able to move into the Xu residence.

"So, have you figured out how to repay me?"

Xu Lin put his wrist on Yan Lingji's fragrant shoulder and asked with a smile.

Upon feeling Xu Lin's wrist, Yan Lingji immediately felt uncomfortable. Xu Lin was less than a step away from her, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"The key issue isn't your sister, but your benefactor. Have you thought this through?"

After a moment of contemplation, Yan Lingji smiled and asked in a seemingly calm manner.

She wasn't actually sure who was older, her or Xu Lin, but she liked to call herself 'older sister'.

"almost."

Xu Lin answered while thinking.

Then, after gently patting Yan Lingji's shoulders a few times, he rode off to the Nian residence.

Nian Duan was studying medical books in his study at that moment.

Upon seeing Xu Lin from afar, the little girl Duanmu Rong immediately told Nian Duan that Xu Lin had arrived.

Upon hearing this, Nian Duan put down his medical book, stood up while holding onto the table, and personally went out to greet him.

"Mr. Xu, what brings you here today...?"

Her beautiful hair fell naturally down her back, and she asked a question.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"Something has happened in Sichuan and Chongqing."

Xu Lin answered seriously.

Nian Duan was startled upon hearing this, and then invited Xu Lin to the study.

After taking his seat, Nian Duan took out a map from under the table and laid it flat on the table.

The Sichuan and Chongqing regions are adjacent to the Baiyue region, which is prone to outbreaks of malaria due to its abundant rainfall and miasma.

Xu Lin sat cross-legged, pointed to the Sichuan and Chongqing regions on the map, and told Nian Duan about the malaria.

"The situation is more serious in Ba County, while it is just beginning in Shu County."

"Mr. Nian Duan is well-versed in medical books; do you have any methods to deal with malaria?"

Xu Lin looked at Nian Duan, who was without makeup, and asked in a deep voice.

Nian Duan not only wore no makeup, but also dressed very casually, and even her hair was tied up casually.

Even so, Nian Duan still had a faint fragrance on her body, a fragrance mixed with the ancient scent of medicine, which smelled very pleasant!

Nian Duan simply dressed plainly and disliked cosmetics and dressing up; it was not that she disliked cleanliness.

On the contrary, Nian Duan is cleaner than Li Wu, Jing Ni and others.

Nian Duan takes a bath every night before bed, cleans her room every day, and even washes herself with water.

Malaria has existed since ancient times, and there is still no cure.

Nian Duan brushed the wind-blown strands of hair behind her ear, strode to the bookshelf, and took out several medical books related to malaria.

Then I focused my attention on the contents of the book.

After reading it, Nian Duan sighed and shook his head.

She also had no way to cure malaria.

As the saying goes, "The student surpasses the teacher."

"Mr. Nian Duan, there is no need to be discouraged."

"I wonder if Mr. Nian Duan has ever heard of Artemisia annua being used to treat malaria?"

Xu Lin comforted.

In his later years, he had seen many videos of artemisinin treating malaria, which is why he went straight to the Nian residence after Ying Zheng left.

"Artemisia annua?"

"It seems that someone said that Artemisia annua could cure malaria, but there is no record of it in the book."

Nian Duan frowned slightly as she thought for a moment before answering.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin told Nian Duan the method of producing artemisinin that he knew.

"Low-temperature extraction?"

After hearing this, Nian Duan was first stunned, then shocked.

This was the first time she had ever heard the word.

Then she wrote down what Xu Lin said.

"Sir, from whom did you hear that low-temperature extraction of Artemisia annua can cure malaria?"

After making a note of it, Nian Duan blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

Xu Lin spoke very professionally, leaving her with a sense of awe and admiration!

"Many years ago."

"That day I went hunting or fishing, based on what a doctor told me."

Xu Lin thought and made up the story.

"Try it first and see if it works."

"If that doesn't work, we'll think of another way."

Xu Lindao.

"it is good."

Nian Duan nodded.

Then he saw Xu Lin out of the mansion.

……

Three days later.

As the first hint of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon, Nian Duan successfully produced artemisinin through low-temperature extraction of Artemisia annua.

This pleased Nian Duan greatly.

After a quick wash and some food, she sent the little girl Duanmu Rong to the Xu residence to tell Xu Lin about the matter.

She hasn't slept much these past few days and needs to catch up on her sleep!
Upon learning of this, Xu Lin immediately went to the Nian residence with the little girl Duanmu Rong.
