?Chapter 490: Chapter 490: The Portrait of the Emperor and Empress, Forever Immortalized Chapter 490: Chapter 490: The Portrait of the Emperor and Empress, Forever Immortalized For Murong Jiu, the biggest surprise of the day was that just before Wang Yingluo was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that high-proof alcohol can sterilize and kill germs, greatly reducing the risk of wound infection.

The phrase “sterilize and kill germs” seems to be from a later era, but it was understandable.

The method of using strong alcohol to disinfect had existed for a long time, but due to the concentration of the alcohol, the effect was naturally not very good. More often, they used strong heat to sterilize tools such as knives and silver needles.

What Wang Yingluo meant was that using high-proof alcohol would kill many invisible viruses and bacteria.

Viruses were easy to understand, but bacteria were something Murong Jiu was hearing about for the first time. In any case, these were the culprits causing wound infections.

Wang Yingluo had previously taught the method of distilling spirits. By simply distilling to extract a higher concentration, one could produce the disinfecting alcohol she referred to.

Murong Jiu was eager to try this and wanted to share the news with her master.

Over the years, countless people had died from infections caused by festering wounds.

Especially on the battlefield, some soldiers who had limbs severed managed to escape with their lives, but most would die from infections, resulting in other complications.

After Wang Yingluo left, Jun Yuyan said to Murong Jiu:
“No wonder I kept smelling a strong scent of alcohol while I was unconscious, it was Wang Yingluo using high-proof alcohol to disinfect my wound. In fact, her knowledge of herbs is very limited, and the medicine she fed me was all common stuff. After all, it was my own strong constitution that got me through this, don’t you think so, Empress?”

Jun Yuyan had never considered Wang Yingluo a lifesaver.
