Yueniang and Huaxi looked at each other, they didn't know what was going on, so they could only go to treat those patients in person. There are also patients who die directly, because the resistance is too poor to resist these invading toxins, and they have been sick for so long, so they will die directly.

Many family members of the patients carried the bodies in front of the prefect's house, asking for an explanation.

It's not about the medicine that cures the disease and saves people, why did it go wrong in the end.

The prefect's wife was busy explaining to them, but no one listened, and everything had changed. said that Yueniang came to harm them, for fear that they would not die, and also said that Yueniang was a demon girl who brought disaster to the country and the people.

How ugly it sounds, how ugly it is.

"These people must be so excited, someone must have drummed it up, and they don't need to think about it. Xie Bai said. When he heard the news, he rushed back as soon as possible, and stayed by Yueniang's side, afraid that she would be angry and sad.

Yueniang shook her head, "It's not necessarily a rumor instigated by someone, after all, this matter is true, and it is also true that people are dead." I understand them, after all, they can't stand the recent death of their loved ones, and it is also true that they want to ask for an explanation. ”

"Yueniang, I know you have a kind heart, but this time I feel that something is wrong. Hua Xi said on the side: "Think about it, those medicines were all delivered to the people by us personally, and seeing that they are almost well, why are they poisoned again, I don't think things are so simple." And don't you think it's too strange, those people were originally very cowardly, even if they died of their relatives, they were very sad, but the prefect has already sent officers and soldiers to suppress it, and they are still very basic, saying that they want to ask for an explanation, isn't it strange? I think Xie Bai is right, it's not that simple, someone must be behind the scenes. Hua Xi said.

Yueniang nodded, and had to admit that what Hua Xi said made some sense.

"I think the most important thing now is not to focus on anything else, but to investigate the cause first. Huaxi, you come with me and see what's going on. ”

"Don't get excited about Yueniang first. Xie Bai stopped her, "You can't get out at all now, the people outside are very excited, if you go out, they may do something when they see you, I have to ensure your safety, I feel that the first thing is to investigate how public opinion arises, and then suppress public opinion." And although many of these people have side effects after taking the medicine, they are still a minority, because most of them have been cured of the plague after taking your medicine. Those people have spoken for you, but it has not been very effective, so now I feel that it is imperative to pinch out the source of incitement. Xie Bai said.

Yueniang knew that what he said was reasonable, not to mention that if these rumors were used by someone with a heart and spread to the capital, then it was very likely that the Fu family would be implicated.

She can't let this kind of thing happen, after all, she wants to help others, but in the end she hurt herself, and this kind of thing must be put an end to no matter what.

"Then Xie Bai, this matter will be handed over to you. Yueniang said, she is very panicked now, and she can't face those people. Because she wasn't sure if it was because of herself.

After all, everyone's physique is different, although this medicine Huaxi told her that it is suitable for general physique, but no matter what, their bodies are too fragile.

Looking at Yueniang's sad appearance, Xie Bai comforted: "Don't worry, this matter will definitely be investigated, I have ordered someone to move the patient's body to the backyard, wait for me to go out to deal with those mobs, you and Hua Xi will investigate the cause." ”

"Good. Yueniang nodded, "Thank you Xie Bai." ”

"What's polite with me. Xie Bai looked at Yueniang's red and swollen eyes, knowing that she hadn't slept all night last night because of this matter, and she had been sad.

After all, those people scolded too much, and anyone who listened to it would inevitably feel sad and sad.

Xie Bai wanted her to rest and go again, but Yueniang couldn't wait for a moment. Hurry up and go to the backyard with Huaxi to check the body. In fact, Yueniang doesn't know how to perform an autopsy, all this depends on the flowers.

After all, Hua Xi has been in contact with this medical technique for a long time, and if it is a death caused by taking medicine, Hua Xi can see the characteristics on his body at a glance.

Hua Xi took a closer look, then picked up a silver needle and pierced the throat and abdomen of the deceased.

In the end, someone brought a knife and cut the patient's stomach open. was so frightened that all the other people present ran away, and only Yueniang watched with gritted teeth, because she had to know the truth.

Hua Xi examines the inside of the deceased's stomach to see what he had eaten before he died. But not much was found. After all, it had been many days since the deceased had taken the pill, and he must have digested it a long time ago.

"How's it going?" asked Yueniang.

Hua Xi shook her head, "I can't say, but this patient doesn't seem to have taken our pills." ”

"Why do you say that, it was obviously us who sent it at the time, and there was no one else, could it be that there was something wrong when dispensing the medicine?" Yueniang asked.

"Quite possibly. "Because although the deceased is dead, the plague is not good, in fact, they are not poisoned, but because the plague is aggravated, and their previous pills should be cold, causing a stroke.

"You're saying that eventually they died of the plague?"

Xie Bai nodded, "That's right, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

"Then their families insisted that I gave them the pill and that they would become like this after taking my pill. It's true that we're the only ones handing out pills these days, and almost everyone who is sick has received it. What do you think is wrong?" asked Hua Xi.

Hua Xi thought for a while, and suddenly came to her senses, "Yueniang, do you think someone is doing something in our pills, and someone wants to blame us?" Hua Xi said.

"Who could it be?" Although Yueniang didn't want to believe that there was such a situation, it was inevitable that there would be such a person.

Yueniang called the prefect's wife to come over and ask her if she had found anything strange in the past few days.

The prefect shook her head and said no.

"Madam Prefect, you'd better think about it, because we suspect that the problem with this pill is that it is being made. Because these patients died of the plague in the end, I advise you to tell the truth. ”

"Oh, Miss Fu, you really misunderstood me, didn't you do it by me?"

"I didn't say that you did it, I just asked you if there was anything suspicious, you don't have to be so excited. Yueniang frowned, this loud voice yelled at her directly.

Isn't it time for her to get excited?

The prefect shook her head and said, "I have checked every medicinal herb and cleaned it by the girls, and there is no problem." ”

"Are you sure?" asked Yueniang.

The prefect nodded with certainty.

Yueniang let her leave, and then asked Zhu Ling, because she was here to watch when she was not there these days.

Zhu Ling thought for a while and said, "Miss, there is really no problem. The prefect kept staring, and I was staring, and I didn't see anything wrong. ”

If the prefect's wife lies, then Zhuling will definitely not lie, so where is the problem?

Hua Xi pulled Yueniang and left.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go to the storeroom, if you suspect that it's a problem with the medicinal herbs, then you might be able to find clues in the storeroom. Hua Xi said.

Yueniang thought about it, it was really. At that time, she only wrote several prescriptions, and then handed them to the prefect's wife to ask her to go to the prescription to grab the medicine and let people deliver the medicine. After all, there is a special adoption in the prefect, and the adoption is to listen to the words of the prefect's wife.

Yueniang took a general look at the medicinal materials that had been adopted before, and she didn't check them carefully, after all, the medicinal materials were piled up in the warehouse, and there was no way to check them.

So once there is a problem, it is likely to be a matter of medicinal materials.

I thought before, but I just grabbed the medicine according to my own prescription, and it must be no problem. But that's not the case now. When I arrived at the warehouse, there was only a small amount of medicinal materials in the warehouse, because these days, the medicinal materials have almost been used up.

Moreover, the warehouse was also cleaned, and the previous medicinal herbs did not fall to the ground.

"It looks like I can't find any clues. Yueniang said dejectedly.

"Not necessarily. ”

Hua Xi closed her eyes, sniffed vigorously, and then said, "Sure enough, other medicinal herbs have appeared here." ”

"What medicinal herbs?" Yue Niang couldn't believe it, after all, he just closed his eyes and smelled it, and he felt that there were other medicinal herbs. Maybe the herbs were originally used by the people in the prefect's house.

"Earth binding spirit, this medicinal herb causes cold, will change a person's physique, and make people become cold physique. If you are a person with a cold constitution, then you will be particularly afraid of cold, and you may have a stroke if you catch a cold, and you will also be infected with some other diseases. It is impossible for the people in the prefect to use this medicinal material, after all, this medicinal material is too evil. This medicine is only used except for people who have a fever and are dying of fever. Hua Xi said: "And there are a lot of medicinal materials in this place, and the medicinal materials of this earth binding spirit are very similar to one of our medicinal materials, Sanqi, and it may be exchanged, so even if it is Zhuling, it is not easy to find." ”

Yueniang was covered in a cold sweat, "Are you saying that the problem is with the prefect's wife?"

"I can't say, after all, she is the prefect's wife, and even if we point to her, there is no evidence. There was no reason why she would do it, and she could blame the adoption problem entirely. It was said that it was adopted and taken by mistake. ”

"A mistake can offset the responsibility?" said Yueniang.

Hua Xi was a little helpless and sighed, "The effect of this earth binding spirit to solve the fever person is really good." But for those people, who are already sick and in a state of being on the street, it is really fatal to take this medicine. ”

Although Yueniang has found out the reason, she has not found the murderer, no matter what, this is still the prince's biggest, and she has to talk to the prince.

"By the way, Miss, when you and Young Master Huaxi went out of the mansion that day, Miss Qin came to the garden to do it for a while, talking and laughing with the prefect's wife, this shouldn't be a special thing. ”

"Not really. Yueniang didn't think much about it, thinking that it was normal for Qin Yuman to sit in the garden after staying in the room.

"Let's go, now go to the prince. ”

The prince was drinking tea in the front hall, because the situation of the victims had eased, and he had been tired for several days, so he naturally wanted to rest. When he saw Yueniang coming, he frowned, because he was planning to go to Yueniang.

After all, there is a lot of commotion outside, which was originally a great thing, but now it has become like this. He was going to ask Yueniang what was wrong, whether it was a prescription problem.

Now people outside say that she is a demon girl, once this is introduced to the capital, it is very likely that someone will make a big fuss, and maybe the emperor will dispose of her at that time.

Even if the power of the Fu family is big and the power of the Xie family is big, it is not as big as the royal family. The royal family is most afraid of hearing that the country and the people will be harmed, and it is the words of the demon girl, which is still relatively superstitious.

And Yueniang caused such a big disaster here, so naturally there is an excuse to punish the crime.

"You came just in time for Yueniang, did you hear what the people outside said?" Zhao Mingchen asked after putting down the teacup.

Seeing that she nodded lightly, her unhurried appearance was really uplifted, "I said why aren't you in a hurry, people outside say so about you, do you know what will happen once you enter the capital?"

Yueniang nodded and said, "Of course I know, but the prince also knows that those people are just ** controlled." It is only when it is instigated. ”

"But it's true that a lot of people died, and that's true. Zhao Mingchen said angrily, "What is wrong, is it that your prescription does not apply to everyone, how can it cause so many deaths?"

Yueniang still had a faint expression, but she knelt on the ground, "Please also ask the prince to make the decision for me." ”

The prince didn't react at all, and he didn't know how Yueniang could behave like this. Even if she is wronged, this matter is not trivial.

Although he also wants to speak for Yueniang, it is obviously not suitable now, and even in the end, the emperor may condemn him together.

"You get up first, after all, you are responsible for this matter, and if something goes wrong, you have to bear it. Zhao Mingchen said, leaving his responsibilities clear.

"If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have let you interfere, but now it's fine. Zhao Mingchen sighed and said.

"Prince, if I say that I am the one who carries the black pot in this matter, someone has done something in the medicinal materials, doesn't the prince plan to seek justice for me? After all, the prince knows, everyone is working hard for the people these days, and I am even more dedicated to the people, how can I do this kind of harmful thing, this prescription is right I prescribed, but the medicinal materials are not caught by me, and the medicinal materials that came at the end are not for treating the plague at all, prince, can you still blame Yueniang for this matter?" Yueniang was very angry, especially after seeing the prince's attitude.

She also knows that people don't kill for themselves, but don't be so obvious. After all, he has been giving him advice these days, and now he has completely forgotten what happened.
