Back home, Zhang Shufen followed Li Xu's instructions to brew the medicine.
When the 30 grams of dark-colored Aconite went into the pot, she didn't think much of it.
But if anyone with expertise had seen it, their heart would have been pounding—it was almost five times the normal dosage!
After the decoction was ready, its color was much darker than before, and the smell was more potent.
The first sip was so bitter she nearly spat it out.
But strangely, less than ten minutes later, she felt a wave of warmth spread from her stomach throughout her entire body. It was like a frozen person suddenly being submerged in warm water, every pore relaxing and opening up.
That night, for the first time in ages, Zhang Shufen only had to change her clothes once.
What surprised her even more was that when she woke up in the middle of the night, the cotton padding she had placed behind her back was actually dry!
For the first time in three months, she wasn't woken up drenched in a cold sweat.
