"Why are all women out to work?" She looked at Liu Ming suspiciously, the custom of the Wu clan is very clear about the division of work between men and women, and it is very traditional for men to lead outside and women to work inside.

"A lot of people have been poisoned, mostly men." Liu Ming explained in a deep voice.

Lu Qingjin frowned slightly when he heard this, so strange?

"What are the main responsibilities of the poisoned people?"

"Men are cultivators, and the few women who are scattered are also cared for at home."

Lu Qingjin's brows furrowed even deeper, how could a few women who stayed at home almost all day be inexplicably poisoned together with men who were working outside.

Lu Qingjin remembered that Liu Ming had said before that those poisoned people had a common characteristic - vomiting and diarrhea, and she suspected that those people were probably suffering from food poisoning.

"What did they eat before they were poisoned?"

"It's just the usual food at the people's house, nothing special." Liu Ming replied.

"Whether it's special or not, from waking up that day to being poisoned, everything I've eaten during this time is listed for me to see." Lu Qingjin's tone was a little impatient, it was because Liu Ming had this kind of thought that he didn't realize that those people had food poisoning because they had eaten the wrong thing.

Liu Mingdang even sent someone to ask what the poisoned people had eaten that day.

The person who was sent to question him soon returned, "Hui patriarch, they said that they usually drank a few bowls of water before plowing on weekdays and went out, and at noon, a few mothers-in-law whose husbands were working in the fields discussed and boiled some potatoes. The big guys ate it separately. ”

"Aren't those poisoned women these mothers-in-law who boiled potatoes and sent them?" Lu Qingjin keenly grasped the key point.

"Yes."

"Then they must have eaten the same thing, and the potatoes are still there, and they brought them to me to see." Lu Qingjin felt that he was about to find the truth.

The leftover potatoes that were eaten were quickly served, Lu Qingjin pinched a small piece of potatoes, sniffed them gently, and observed them carefully, "The reason why they are poisoned is because of this potato!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Ming's eyes widened in shock, "Then why are the rest of the people okay after eating potatoes." ”

"The potatoes in this are not yet cooked, and eating them is easy to have adverse effects on the body, but there is no big problem, pick some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs and boil them into a thick soup for them to drink, and they can be detoxified in less than half an hour." Lu Qingjin threw the potatoes at his fingertips back into the pot, "These can't be eaten, just throw them away." ”

"You must remember that no matter what you eat, you must cook it before you can eat it, otherwise it will be easy to be poisoned." Lu Qingjin admonished uneasily.

"Okay, I'll tell you to go down." Liu Ming nodded, signaling that he understood.

"It's just ......," Liu Ming said hesitantly, "I don't know what herbs are used to clear heat and detoxify?" I don't know if there is such a place? ”

Lu Qingjin raised her eyebrows slightly, she had forgotten this, this area was already desolate, how could there be nutritious herbs.

She didn't go around the bush with him, "You don't have it here, I know where it is." ”

"Where?" Liu Ming asked impatiently.

"What if you know that place? The green everywhere, do you know which are weeds and which are medicinal herbs? Even if you can recognize it as a medicinal herb, are you sure it can cure the poison? Lu Qingjin smiled coldly.

Liu Ming narrowed his eyes dangerously when he heard this, "Say, what conditions do you have?" ”

"First of all, you have to recognize the reality, now only I know where the herb is and what it looks like, and only I can save your people. If you dare to act against me, then ...... It was also very difficult for those people to survive. Lu Qingjin was worried that Liu Ming would do whatever it took to get into his impulse, and warned in a deep voice.

"Well, I know, you just have to say your conditions." Liu Ming turned his back.

"My conditions are very simple, you must help Qin Zhao unconditionally." She only has this condition.

"He doesn't need my help, your condition is a bit nonsensical." Liu Ming turned around and looked at her puzzled.

Lu Qingjin raised his eyes to look at him, "You don't need to care about that, you just need to tell me whether you agree to this condition or not." ”

"Let me think about it......" Liu Ming waved his hand.

He knew that the woman in front of him was very smart, and there was no reason for such a woman to put forward such nonsensical conditions, so in the future, Qin Zhao would definitely need him to work for it.

It's just that I don't know if what Qin Zhao lets himself do will hurt himself and his clansmen when the time comes.

"Have you thought about it? Your people can't afford to wait, and I'll have to spend time looking for herbs. Lu Qingjin said slowly.

"I promise you!" Liu Ming finally agreed.

"Okay, give me a carriage and a coachman, and I'll go to pick herbs." Lu Qingjin is also very simple.

Soon she was in the carriage that Liu Ming had prepared for her, and with the sound of the coachman's whip, the carriage sped away towards her destination.

On the other side, in the solemn palace, there was a mess at this time.

Although after Lu Qingjin left, the palace people were a little loose on weekdays, but the emperor was shocked, but now that the emperor is bedridden, there is a lot of gossip in the palace.

"I want to see the emperor!" Lu Youruo stood outside the emperor's bedroom with a calm face.

In this entire harem, she is the only one who dresses up with flowers, and the other concubines now disdain to be with her.

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor has already rested." The eunuch guarding the palace gate repeated the words countless times without emotion.

"I came in the morning, you said that the emperor was resting, and when I came at noon, you still said that the emperor was resting, and now that the moon is out, you still tell me that the emperor is resting! Do you believe that this palace ordered someone to drag you out and behead you? Lu Youruo was furious, she had eaten too much of the emperor's closed-door soup recently.

When she heard that the emperor was sick, she rushed over in a hurry and offered herself to serve the sick, but she didn't expect to be rejected.

To make matters worse, she hasn't seen the emperor since.

"Niangniang, please stop being angry, what the slave said is the truth, he is a housewife, the emperor needs to cultivate well, and he should not be disturbed." The eunuch's tone was indifferent.

He has dealt with this lady many times, and when the mothers of other palaces came, there was more or less sadness in her eyes, but there was no sadness in this mother's eyes, more ambition and desire. Besides, the emperor is sick, she is still dressed brightly, I don't know, I think she is celebrating the emperor's illness.

"You! How dare you talk to me like that, a eunuch! Come on, drag this dog slave down for me......"

"Presumptuous!"

Lu Youruo looked back, it was Concubine Li.

Concubine Li was born in Jiangmen, her eyes were sharp and aggressive, and the sound of "presumptuous" really scared Lu Youruo.
