"Since we're not sure what this potion is, let's just assume it's a fire spirit. Lin Qingyang said with some self-defeat.

Nalan Jinxiu sighed: "The antidote I am preparing now is to treat it as a fire spirit, but the result is not ideal. Although it has slowed down the speed of poisoning, it cannot completely remove the residual poison from the body. ”

And I also added a little bit of poison to this medicine, to be precise, it is an antidote made of six flavors of poison. But she didn't say this, she was afraid that the villagers would know that the medicine they used contained a poison that could be deadly, which would cause them to panic.

"That means that this thing that we can't figure out is definitely not a fire spirit?" Lin Qingyang said again.

Nalan Jinxiu shook his head: "It can't be ruled out that when we are not sure what this is, everything is unknown." Or maybe it's not one, maybe it's two, or more. ”

Lin Qingyang also recognized this. Heaven and earth have given birth to countless kinds of herbs, and they are mutually reinforcing, which is a law and a law. Even if they are skilled enough to be medical, there is no guarantee that they are proficient in all herbs and plants. There are many things in this world that they have not seen, but there is still a lot to learn.

"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to let everyone try their best to see if they can rule it out the same way, and finally determine what this thing is. ”

"There's no other way to do it than that. ”

There is a way, it is better than having no clue, although the amount of task will be relatively large, but if there is a chance to find a result, Nalan Jinxiu is willing to give it a try.

Three days later, news came from outside the epidemic area that the same plague had occurred in a village near Fuhe Village. Nalan Jinxiu's heart sank suddenly, wasn't it poison? How could it be infected? Or was it that the neighboring village was also poisoned?

Lin Qingyang sent two imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital over and asked them to determine whether the new outbreak was the same as here. The news that the two men brought back was exactly the same.

Lin Qingyang only now had a feeling that the situation was serious. After living for so long and experiencing so many things, it was the first time something so unexpected had happened to him. Because he found that in the field he was best at, something uncontrollable had happened. This accident was mostly due to his disappointment with himself and his recognition of the supremacy of his medical skills. It is precisely because of recognition that I cannot tolerate failure.

After discussing with Lin Qingyang, Nalan Jinxiu decided to send all the imperial doctors he brought, and they needed to know if there was the same source of infection over there. The imperial doctors searched carefully, but found nothing. This is not good news, because it means that the plague over there may have been transmitted from here in Fuhe Village. If that's the case, it's troublesome.

When they were anxious, Xu Jince finally couldn't help it and brought a few personal soldiers. When he saw that his sister was not infected with the plague and was still intact, his restless heart was settled. Seeing that she had worked hard for this matter, she had lost a lot of weight, and she was even more determined to bring her back to the palace. This time, no matter how much his father objected, he would not let her stay here.

"Sheng'er, you go clean up, we're going back to Chiyang City. Xu Jince looked at her and said.

Nalan Jinxiu was puzzled, and didn't know why when her brother came, not only did he not help her solve her problems, but asked her to go back to Chiyang City. She had been here for so many days before she could feel some eyebrows, how could she give up halfway? Besides, Mu Li's body had not yet cleared the remaining poison, and she couldn't prepare an antidote, so she wouldn't leave.

"Sheng'er. Xu Jince saw that she didn't move, just looked at himself blankly, and called her again.

Xu Jince is a well-known general in northern Xinjiang, and everyone respects him as a young marshal. Nalan Jinxiu didn't dare to disobey his brother's thoughts in front of people, so he had to pull him to a place where there was no one and discuss with good words.

Xu Jince had always frowned, and since he knew that the village next to Fuhe Village was also infected with the plague, he had a bad feeling in his heart. Sheng'er had been here for so long, and it was already a blessing in misfortune that she hadn't contracted the plague, and he couldn't keep her here.

"You don't have to try to convince me, today is the tie-up, and I have to tie you back to the palace. Xu Jince looked like he didn't go in, and said with a gloomy face.

"I don't care, even if you tie me back and let me go, I can still come by myself. Do you want to tie me up for the rest of your life?"

"You ......"

"I was the one who was supposed to try the medicine myself, but Mu Li remembered his task and wanted to protect me at all times, so he tried the medicine for me. I can't ignore him and go back to the palace myself. ”

Xu Jince was a little angry, his brows frowned deeper, and his tone was quite calm: "After you return to the palace, you can still continue to prepare the recipe." ”

"How could that be the same as now? There are no patients in the palace, and I can't catch their changes at the first time. How can we concoct an antidote based on imagination?"

"Jinling has already sent so many imperial doctors, this matter will be handed over to them, you must go back to the palace with me now. ”

"They're new here, and they don't know as much as I know. ”

Then tell them everything you know. ”

"Brother......" Nalan Jinxiu's tail note was long, a little angry, and a little coquettish and flattering. She remembered that Xu Jince was most afraid of Xu Jinsheng like this, as soon as he called him like this when he was a child, he would be soft-hearted, and everything would be up to his sister.

"Sheng'er, I'm just a sister like you, and I'm all for your good. Leave you here alone, my father and I are not at ease, you go back with me obediently, obedient. ”

Nalan Jinxiu saw that this trick didn't work, so she had to have a showdown with him. Xu Jince is a person with his own beliefs, and in his heart, his personal gains and losses are insignificant compared to Northern Xinjiang. She stood on tiptoe and leaned into his ear and said, "Brother, I have determined that what happened in Fuhe Village is not a plague at all, but a collective poisoning. ”

"Poisoned?"

"Yes. ”

"Then why is the same situation in another village?"

Nalan Jinxiu shook his head: "I don't know about this yet, but I think there must be a reason, because poisoning is not contagious." ”

Xu Jince was a little skeptical about the authenticity of her words. This girl has had a lot of ideas since she was a child, and now it is possible that because she doesn't want to go back, she will casually tell such a lie to bluff him. But her eyes were clear and thorough, without the slightest trace of dodging, and it didn't look like she was lying. He had no choice but to say, "Are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

"And what are you going to do next?"

"Naturally, we are trying our best to concoct the antidote. ”

"But what if it doesn't work?"

"If you don't succeed, you have to try it. Northern Xinjiang is my hometown, and it is also the place that my father and you protect wholeheartedly. I can't let anyone with a heart destroy it with poison, and it is my brother's dream and mine to keep the peace of the country. I've grown up, and I have my own mission, and I have responsibilities on my shoulders. You can't always look at me like a child......"

Xu Jince naturally knew that she was reasonable, the children from the Zhenbei Wangfu were naturally more conscious than others, and their temperament was not comparable to ordinary girls. But as the saying goes, if the wolf doesn't bite anyone's child, who doesn't feel distressed.

If this girl from someone else's family said these words righteously, he would applaud his hands. But this is not someone else's, this is his sister-in-law, the only sister. The two of them had the same blood on their bodies, how could he be ruthless and see her in danger?

Nalan Jinxiu saw that although he didn't speak again, his expression already had the intention of being shaken, so he stepped forward and pulled his arm, smiling like a flower: "Brother, don't worry, it will definitely be fine." Do you know? My life is very big, even if I die and go to the underworld, people will not accept it, but I still have to send it back. ”

Nalan Jinxiu's words were absolutely true, but Xu Jince's eyes were strange when he looked at her. It was an unbelievable attitude, making it clear that she was bluffing, Nalan Jinxiu was speechless, and she touched her nose in embarrassment. I don't know what's wrong with the world today, and when you tell the truth, no one believes it.

"I don't know if the underworld will accept you, I only know that you learned to bluff people at a young age. ”

Well, Nalan Jinxiu also knows that her experience is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and it sounds a bit bluffing. She folded her hands and bowed to Xu Jince a few times, completely looking like a bodhisattva.

Xu Jince didn't know what this little girl was thinking, but she quickly solved his confusion, only to see her say very frankly: "Do you think I'm pious enough now?"

"Didn't find ......"

"Why didn't you find out? Because you said that I was bluffing, I used all my heart to worship the Bodhisattva. ”

Xu Jince was helpless: "Do you really want to stay here so much?"

"Of course, you can't do things halfway. And I didn't lie to you, this time it's really not a plague, someone poisoned it. ”

"Who could it be?" If it was Beiyan's spies, it would be impossible to put the poison in Fuhe Village, but it would definitely be a military camp.

Nalan Jinxiu also knew what he was thinking, so he explained: "Since the poisoner did not throw it into the Doma River, but into such a small well, he should have intended not to hurt innocent people. And as far as I know, this well is usually used by only two households, that is, Li Yin and his brother's house. ”

"You mean, Li Yin or Li Yin's younger brother has offended people, and someone wants their lives?"

"Well, but I didn't say anything so as not to cause panic among the villagers. Now that you've brought someone here, why don't you start looking into it. ”
