Proteins would denature when they encountered heavy metal ions, and this kind of denaturation could not be restored. Proteins were bioactive substances. Once denatured, they could no longer play their original functions. It could be said that the various functions in the human body were dominated by proteins. Any reaction in any part of the body was related to proteins, so heavy metal ions could poison people.
However, heavy metal ions could not bind with other proteins after binding with proteins, because this reaction was irreversible. Therefore, once heavy metal poisoning occurred, substances containing a lot of protein such as milk were used to bind the heavy metal ions, so that the heavy metal ions would not bind with the functional proteins of the human body as much as possible.
Although the Golden Ripple Flower did not seem to have much to do with heavy metal, although most of the plant toxins acted on the nervous system, many of them also acted on proteins.
Song Qingshu also knew that the success rate of using milk to detoxify the Golden Ripple Flower poison was very slim, but as long as there was a chance, he had to try. After all, he was not living for himself anymore. He had so many confidantes who loved him, and so many subordinates who relied on him. The heavy responsibility made him have a strong desire to survive.
Hearing that it was her husband who had poisoned her, Qi Fang could not help but bite her lips. She had previously quarreled with Wan Gui over this matter. As a kind-hearted person, she could not accept her husband's despicable actions. At the same time, she had secretly prayed for Song QingShu to escape.
Although she did not know him, Song Qingshu had been so famous these years, and he was often mentioned in the circle of women in Lin 'an City. She could more or less understand him. Judging from all the information, Song Qingshu should be a good person, even a hero. She naturally did not want such a person to have any misfortune, and at the same time, she also wanted her husband to have less blood and sin on his hands.
In addition, the other was Di Yun's friend. If it was other ways, Qi Fang might not even frown and agree. However, she had never even given such a private and shameful thing to her husband, so how could she give it to another man?
"No, absolutely not!" Qi Fang shook her head fiercely. "I … I can think of other ways to help you, but this … this …"
Song Qingshu knew that Qi Fang was a very traditional woman. The concept of abiding by women's morality could be said to have been imprinted in her bone marrow. It was really impossible for her to give him the milk that she squeezed out.
"Forget it. For the sake of Zhiruo and the others, I can only be shameless for once."
Song Qingshu clenched his teeth and suddenly shouted, "Ah, the poison is acting up again!" As he spoke, he fell to the ground, his body trembling non-stop. His face revealed an expression of extreme pain.
"You … What's wrong with you?" Qi Fang was shocked. She called out to him a few times, but he couldn't respond to her at all.
"Don't scare me." Qi Fang immediately became anxious and paced around him anxiously. Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do. "Tell me quickly, how can I help you now?"
She had always been kind-hearted. In the past, when Di Yun killed a butterfly in front of her, she had been sad for a long time, let alone a living person.
In the midst of her anxiety, her gaze suddenly fell on the wooden bowl at the side. Qi Fang couldn't help but recall Song Qingshu's previous words.
"Can this thing really cure the poison?" Qi Fang's face flushed red. For a moment, she hesitated, but in the end, the kindness in her heart prevailed. "A human life is at stake. I can't care so much."
Qi Fang squatted down and helped Song Qingshu up. She let his head rest on her thighs. Then she picked up the wooden bowl and took a deep breath. With a blushing face, she brought it to his mouth.
Song Qingshu only felt a stream of warm nectar flowing into his mouth. His heart was suddenly filled with emotion. Qi Fang was really kind to the bone. Unfortunately, she married a cruel and unscrupulous husband. It could only be said that fate was fickle and nature made fools of people.
Unknowingly, he drank the big bowl clean. Song Qingshu only felt a lingering fragrance in his mouth. The tip of his nose could still smell the faint body fragrance of the other party.
Even if he was thick-skinned enough, he still felt a little guilty. He could only deliberately groan and pretend to wake up.
Song Qingshu's plan really worked. Seeing this, Qi Fang hurriedly put him back on the ground. Then she suddenly stood up and stood three feet away from him. She asked nervously, "You … Are you feeling better?"
Slowly opening his eyes, Song Qingshu subconsciously answered, "Much better … Huh?"
Originally, he didn't have any hope of curing the poison. He just wanted to casually comfort the other party. After all, she made such a big sacrifice. If there was no effect at all, he was afraid that she would feel even worse.
But before the words left his mouth, Song Qingshu was suddenly surprised to find that the Qi in his body, which had been stagnant for a long time, was actually showing signs of returning to circulation. He didn't have time to answer and hurriedly began to circulate.
Seeing this, Qi Fang didn't care. Knowing that he was at a critical moment, she didn't say anything to disturb him. But she suddenly noticed that there was still a drop of milk left on Song Qingshu's lips. Under the candlelight, it was especially crystal clear. Her face immediately turned red.
"I'm really too daring. Why did I do such a thing today …"
At the same time that Qi Fang was at a loss, Song Qingshu couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Because he'd actually successfully circulated the Qi in his body for a cycle. This was absolutely unimaginable in the past.
"Could it be that human milk really has such a miraculous effect?" At this moment, Song Qingshu didn't have the time to ponder about the profundities. He hurriedly circulated his Qi and tried to force out the poison of the Goldwave Flower in his body. Earlier, his biggest problem was that the Qi in his body couldn't circulate normally, so he was unable to force out the poison in his body. Now that the most critical problem had been solved, how could he not be pleasantly surprised?
Actually, this could be considered a lucky hit. After being poisoned by the poison of the Goldwave Flower, the biggest characteristic was that the whole body started to become numb. This was similar to the symptoms of the poison of aconitine. In his previous life, medicine was developed, and in order to cure the poison of aconitine, a large amount of atropine was needed. Atropine was also a highly toxic substance. Once it was overdosed, it would also cause death.
Using the term commonly used in martial arts novels, this was called fighting poison with poison. Using the theory of modern medicine to explain it, it was that the poison of aconitine dilated the blood vessels of the human body, rapidly lowering the blood pressure of the human body. At the same time, it suppressed the central nervous system and respiratory center. On the other hand, the poison of atropine could relieve the spasms of the smooth muscles, improve the circulation of the capillaries, suppress the secretion of glands, and remove the suppression of the vagus nerve on the heart, causing the heart to beat faster, dilate the pupils, increase the pressure of the eye, and excite the respiratory center. The effects of these two poisons were just opposite, so they could detoxify each other.
The Earth Dragon Pill that Xiao Long Nu had Song Qingshu take came from the body of a beast from the West. That beast loved to eat a highly toxic plant, Belladonna, when it was alive. Belladonna was rich in the poison of atropine.
Unfortunately, it wasn't as pure as modern industrial extraction. The amount of atropine in the Earth Dragon Pill wasn't enough to cure the poison of the Goldwave Flower. It could only temporarily save Song Qingshu's life.
As for detoxifying the poison of aconitine, apart from a special medicine like atropine, modern medicine had proven that milk also had a certain effect!
If milk could work, then human milk would naturally work too. Furthermore, this was Qi Fang's first child, so there was a large amount of growth factors and immunoglobulin in her milk, which was even more beneficial for detoxification. So, by a freak combination of factors, Song Qingshu was able to circulate his internal energy again.
But what he didn't know was that the toxicity of the Goldwave Flower was far above that of aconitine. Aconitine required a large amount of atropine to neutralize, so how could a mere bowl of milk be enough?

I was already admiring my ability to spout nonsense with a straight face. Even this could be explained with a scientific explanation.
However, aconitine did require a large amount of atropine to detoxify it, and milk also had a certain effect.
