94 - The Antidote Potion.


Azkia was so surprised when she saw her brother carrying Yura while carrying her bridal style which looks weak. It was only fitting that his residence sounded noisily with the panicked voice of the maid.


"Oh my goodness, Brother Arvan, Brother Yura? What's the matter? What exactly happened?" ask Azkia


"Forgot my question first. Let's bring Kak Yura into the room first" Azkia continued


Arvan walks Yura into a room shown by Azkia.


"Please I want to sit down" Yura asked


Arvan lowers Yura's body and helps her sit on the edge of the bed.


"What have you done to Brother Yura, Brother Arvan?" ask Azkia


"It's not your sister's doing, Azkia. Arvan only helped me," Yura replied in a soft voice.


"Yura poisoned someone. So, please take it and bring me the antidote I gave you. Azkia, hurry .. " said Arvan


Azkia immediately left after a short nod after understanding what Arvan said.


"Arvan, listen to me carefully. His Majesty is in the residence of the second concubine. Even though his condition was very calm like sleeping because I had fainted, it must have been much worse than me. You must offer poison to His Majesty quickly. Then, I felt that the second concubine was not an easy person to be able to trap and deceive myself just by her request," said Yura


"If you meet the second concubine, you should be very careful when talking to her and not have any physical contact with her. If His Majesty wakes up in a daze, then you must make him aware by clapping near his ears or patting his body parts. Especially if His Majesty complains of pain in a certain part of his body or His Majesty appears to be beating a certain part of his body, pat several times on that part of his body ." continued Yura.


"His wife, the second concubine who had done something like this .. "inner Arvan


At that moment, Azkia returned with a box in her hand.


"Sister, this box contains the potion medicine you once gave me" Azkia said


"Quick give it to me" Arvan's pinta immediately grabbed and opened the box that Azkia had brought.


"Arvan, did you hear what I said or not?" ask Yura


"I heard it, but how is this? The antidote potion needed is only one, whereas we need 2 of the same potions," arvan said after searching and finding the right antidote potion needed among the many medicinal herbs in the box.


"You bring the antidote to His Majesty. I can concoct the antidote for myself and there is Azkia here who will help me," Yura said


"Then, please immediately prepare cold water for Yura to soak," Arvan said


Azkia asked her servant who was there to prepare cold water in the bathroom. Hearing what Arvan and Yura said, Azkia was now at least able to guess what had happened.


"I can still survive and know what to do. Arvan, you quickly go, sana ... and remember my words to be careful with the second concubine," Yura said as she pushed Arvan's body with her remaining strength.


Finally, Arvan left the third concubine's residence and turned to the second concubine's residence, albeit with a forced and heavy heart.


"Madam, the pool in the bathroom is already filled with cold water." The waiter reported quickly as requested.


"Sir Yura, let me help you get into the bathroom .. " said Azkia who immediately grabbed Yura's body to stand up and walk towards the bathroom. Even the waiter helped.


"When you go outside just want to go around, why would it be like this?" tanya Azkia was more like muttering.


"Azkia, I really didn't do anything .." Yura said


"I understand, Brother Yura. You must have just been framed. I believe in you," said Azkia


"Sister Arvan must also believe that it wasn't you who did something strange like this. You can't do this" said Azkia, who managed to cut off Yura's words.


Azkia and her servant helped until Yura went into the wading pool to soak in the cold water. The pool that is usually filled and used to soak warm water is actually filled and used by Yura to soak cold water.


"I remember that you also had medical skills like Brother Arvan. Tell me, what ingredients do you need to make the antidote?" ask Azkia


Yura also mentioned the ingredients to make poison antidote potions and Yura deliberately called the ingredients that are easily available that contain the same as high-level herb making ingredients so that they are easier to find and obtain when almost it was midnight then because Yura needed those ingredients quickly to make a poison-tasting potion for herself.


Since the materials needed were easy to obtain and available in the kitchen of the Royal Palace, the maid Azkia had told her to take the materials back quickly. Azkia told her servant to brew the ingredients with warm water. Azkia deliberately had the waiter do such a thing so that Yura who was definitely feeling cold by soaking in cold water at night could feel the warmth from the brew of the poison-tasting potion that used warm water.


"Sister Yura, this is the ingredients of the potion you requested that has been brewed with warm water. Drink ... I had the waiter brew with warm water so you could feel the warmth even if it was just a little, because you must feel cold when soaking in cold water at night like this," azkia


"Or actually the herb will not be nutritious after being brewed with warm water? Did I wrongly tell the waiter to brew the ingredients in warm water? Because just as you minimized the effects of the poison by soaking in cold water, what ingredients of the herb should also be brewed with cold water can be efficacious? Say something, Brother Yura. Open your eyes and don't fall asleep" Azkia continued in a voice full of worry and panic.


Yura did close her eyes to hold the piercing cold in the skin to penetrate the bone when she had to soak in cold water to minimize the effects of the poison. And during that time, Azkia always accompanied Yura in the bathroom until it was only natural that Azkia was worried when Yura did not respond to her words and kept silent while closing her eyes.


"Give me that poison potion drink. No matter what water is brewed, I will still drink it and there will still be benefits. Even if there's no water, I'll chew and swallow the ingredients you've told your waiter to find them," yura said after opening her eyes slightly with a voice that shook from the cold.


At first Azkia only gave a cup containing the poison-treating potion drink to Yura so that Yura could drink it herself freely. However, it was not free for Yura because she was not able to hold objects properly when she shivered because she felt cold while still soaking in cold water. Finally, Azkia helped Yura to drink from the cup she was holding and she helped slowly pour it into Yura's mouth.


"Thank you very much, Azkia. I'm fine, so you can calm down. You better go back to the room and take care of Afia. Don't leave your baby for too long" Yura said


"I told the waiter to keep Afia in the room, so I'll stay here. Tell me, how are you feeling, brother? Are you feeling better?" ask Azkia


"I still have to soak here and finish the poison-treating potion drink until I feel the poison effect in me has completely disappeared. However, this won't be long since the antidote potion drink must be working quickly" Yura explained


"In that case, do I have to brew the ingredients of this poison-treating herb again so that its properties work faster? Say, what am I supposed to do?" ask Azkia


"No need, this is enough. If you consume it excessively will actually appear other effects, because anything that is excessive is not good. We just need to wait a little while longer," Yura replied


"In that case, I will accompany you here until you feel that the poison effect in you has completely disappeared" Azkia said


"But, you must also feel cold in the bathroom like this, what's more you continue to sit on the bathroom floor from the beginning to come here just to accompany me," Yura said


"No problem. Because just in case, I've already rolled out a small mat to sit here. So I didn't sit on the floor. Brother Yura, just calm down. I'll just assume that we're both camping at midnight" Azkia said


"Azkia, I've been troubling you again and again ." Yura said


"Don't say that, brother. Even though I never felt bothered by you," Azkia said


"If only I had a sister like you. However, I am the youngest in my family" Yura said


"I am your sister because that is what I call you Big Brother" Azkia said


"But, the age of both of us is as good as ." said Yura


"Anyway we are a family" Azkia said


"You are right" Yura said


Azkia continued to accompany Yura who was soaking in cold water and helped Yura drink the antidote potion until it ran out. Until the moment Yura felt the poison effect had completely disappeared from within her, though, Azkia also helped him to get out of the bathroom even to help Yura change clothes that are completely wet because they remain worn during soaking.
