Although Mrs. Tian is a businessman and likes money, she also follows the businessman's character of keeping promises. Less than half an hour after Qining returned to Yong'an Hall, the needed ghost eyes grass and wind bones were delivered to her.
The whole night, Yong'an Hall was busy, cooking medicine in the backyard. As soon as the medicine was cooked, it was immediately sent to Tang Nuo's detoxification room.
At the beginning, Tang Nuo listed a total of thirty or forty kinds of medicinal materials. Just looking at the densely packed medicinal names makes people dizzy.
These dozens of medicines are combined with each other. Sometimes there are thirteen or fourteen herbs mixed together, and sometimes there are three or four herbs mixed together.
By daybreak, most of the medicinal materials had been crossed out from Tang Nuo's list of medicinal materials, leaving only sixteen or seventeen medicinal materials that were still being tested.
Just after the ugly season, fine snow suddenly fell from the sky like butterflies, bringing the unique flavor of this season.
The first snow fell suddenly, and the snowflakes were not big or dense, like catkins fluttering in the wind. As the cold wind drifted, the snow became denser and denser, and the snowflakes became larger and larger, as if woven into a white sheet. The big net covered the earth. When dawn came, the snow was flying heavily, and it was impossible to see even a few feet away.
When I open the door in the morning, the city is full of snow, the snow is flying, the clouds are pale, and the sun is cold.
Everyone could only set up tents in the backyard to prevent the heavy snow from affecting the decoction.
Tang Nuo had not slept for two days and two nights and was exhausted. Duan Canghai and others, like Qining, had not rested for a long time, and their eyes were all bloodshot.
It's just that everyone knows that this small medicine shop may be related to the life and death of thousands of people, so no one dares to slack off in the slightest.
Tang Nuo obviously knew that everyone was very tired, so he asked everyone to come inside the room and used a silver needle to prick two acupuncture points on the back of everyone's head.
Duan Canghai knew that pricking these two acupuncture points would not cause any harm to the human body. However, after everyone was pricked by the silver needle, they felt that their energy had recovered a lot. Although it was not as full as when they were full of energy, it was enough to make the fatigue disappear. Young man, he admired Tang Nuo's superb medical skills even more.
Qin Ning was not skilled in medicine. There were Tang Nuo and Doctor Song in the morgue, so Qin Ning could not intervene. Zhao Wushang and others were there to prepare the medicine, so Qin Ning, the Marquis, did not need to work.
Qi Ning and Duan Canghai were responsible for the logistics and preparing meals for everyone. Everyone also found some free time to eat in a hurry to replenish some energy.
At noon, Dr. Song came out of the morgue with a look of joy on his face. Qining could see it clearly and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Have you found a way?"
Doctor Song seemed a little excited, but he still shook his head and said: "Master Hou, hurry up, hurry up, Miss Tang is really a magical healer, it's amazing, she has found a way." He shouted to the back: "Cantharis, Feng Guzi, Take a penny each from Guimucao, Snake Slough, and Buddha's Armor and put them together to boil the juice, the faster the better!"
Qining heard that two of the five herbs were sent by Mrs. Tian and asked, "Can both herbs sent by Tian's medicine store be used?"
"It's not certain yet." Doctor Song said, "But it should be close." He praised, "Although Miss Tang is young, she is extremely familiar with the medicinal properties of medicinal materials. I feel ashamed." He comforted, "Master Marquis, Don't worry, with Miss Tang here, I think in a few hours, I'm afraid I'll be able to find a way."
Qi Ning was also happy, secretly thinking that a large group of Xinglin masters had gathered in the Shenhou Mansion. Xuanyuan Po also said that it would take several months to find an antidote. From this, it can be seen that Tang Nuo's methods have indeed gone far beyond The average person is already a top expert in medicine.
At noon, Qi Ning was waiting for the good news about Tang Nuo, but someone in the palace came to Yong'an Hall and told Qin Ning to enter the palace.
When the emperor summoned him, Qi Ning naturally couldn't delay, so he had to go to the palace first. When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, he saw the young emperor, but he didn't see any other ministers here.
When Longtai saw Qin Ning coming over, he smiled and said, "Qin Ning, do you know what I am going to do when I call you into the palace?"
With no one else present, Qi Ning was more casual and said with a smile: "Your Majesty looks very happy, it must be a happy event." He rolled his eyes and asked: "Your Majesty, is there any good news about the epidemic?"
"You are smart." The little emperor smiled and said: "You know, I didn't sleep all night last night. I didn't relax until Ximen Wuhen came over."
"Ah?" Qi Ning saw that although the little emperor's face was filled with joy, there was indeed a look of fatigue in his brows, and asked, "Has the good news come from Lord Ximen?"
Longtai said with a smile: "The old Shenhou is still quite capable, and he did not disappoint me." He pointed to a chair next to him, "There is no one else here, please sit down and talk first."
Qi Ning smiled, but was not polite. After sitting down, he said: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and don't work too hard."
Longtai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You don't understand, I am different from you. Do you know that the epidemic broke out in the capital yesterday, and someone has privately blamed me for this."
"Blame the emperor?" Qi Ning was a little surprised.
Longtai sneered and said: "With such a big thing happening in Beijing, I naturally can't just listen to what a few ministers say in my ears. I sent Master Xiang to inquire about the situation and heard some words that I would never hear from the ministers. "
Qining knew that the Master Xiang that Longtai was talking about was Xiang Tianbei, who had a strange life experience. Xiang Tianbei was a master of swordsmanship and someone whom Longtai trusted greatly.
"What did your Majesty hear?"
Longtai said lightly: "Some people say that a plague broke out in the capital just after I ascended the throne. This is because my virtue is not enough and I offended God, so I punished you."
"Damn it, who is talking nonsense?" Qi Ning scolded: "Your Majesty, don't take such nonsense to heart."
Longtai smiled indifferently and said: "Of course I won't take it to heart. I'm only worried that the people will be deceived and they will take it to heart. They don't know that this plague was deliberately poisoned by someone, and they thought it was really just a plague. When there is a natural disaster, someone spreads the rumor behind his back, and if they spread it from one person to another, it is inevitable that some people who don’t know the truth will believe it.”
"It's really pervasive." Qi Ning sneered: "Your Majesty, it seems that someone really took this opportunity to cholera people's hearts."
Longtai smiled and said: "This is what I expected. Am I not virtuous enough? Hum, I would like to know, what kind of virtuous person is worthy of sitting on this chair?" Then he said: "When you tell me to the master, , I was really a little upset, but just now the old god came over to report the good news, and my unhappiness disappeared."
"Your Majesty, what good news has Ximen Shenhou reported?" Qining asked: "Is it possible that the Shenhou Mansion has found a way to detoxify?"
Longtai laughed and said: "I said you are smart. Yes, the Shenhou Mansion has found a way to detoxify."
Qi Ning was slightly surprised, thinking that yesterday Xuanyuan Po said that it would take several months to detoxify. How come it was only one night before the Shenhou Mansion found the antidote? Could it be that the Shenhou Mansion was deliberately deceiving him
It's just that Xuanyuan Po's expression and tone at that time didn't seem to be fake, otherwise his acting skills would have been too lifelike.
The fact that the Shenhou Mansion has found an antidote means that Tang Nuo and the others have been working in vain for the past two days. Although Tang Nuo is almost able to find a way to detoxify, after all, it cannot be said that it has been successful until the antidote is actually prepared. .
However, if the Shenhou Mansion really finds a way to detoxify, it would not be a bad thing. At least many people in the capital will be saved.
"This is because the emperor is protected by God." Qi Ning said with a smile: "Now that we have found the antidote, we can survive this disaster."
Long Tai hurriedly shook his head and said: "I didn't explain clearly. The antidote hasn't been obtained yet, but it will be soon." After a pause, he said: "The Shenhou Mansion has caught the poisoner."
Qi Ning's body was shaken and he said in shock: "Seriously?"
Longtai seemed to have guessed that Qi Ning would be very surprised. He was really surprised when he saw Qi Ning. He laughed and said: "Old Shenhou came here earlier and reported that he had captured the disciples of Jiuxi Poison King. He is now being held in Shenhou Mansion and is being interrogated. .”
"A disciple of Jiuxi Poison King?" Qi Ning was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, isn't Jiuxi Poison King himself here?"
"Jiuxi Poison King has not appeared yet, and it is very likely that he did not take action personally this time, but just sent his disciples here." Longtai said: "But since we have captured this person, if this is the one who poisoned Man, then this man should know the method of detoxification. The Shenhou Mansion is interrogating him. As soon as there is an explanation, I will order them to come and report as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, it was Ximen Shenhou who said that the disciples of Jiuxi Poison King can know the antidote method?" Qi Ning asked with a frown, but at this moment he was wondering who the Shenhou Mansion had caught
He knew that the little demon girl Anao was a disciple of the Jiuxi Poison King, and she seemed to be active in the capital now, but he didn't know whether it was this girl who was caught by the Shenhou Mansion or Anao had another companion in the capital with her.
Longtai said: "The old Shenhou didn't say that. He only said that with that person in hand, the antidote would be available soon." He asked: "Qining, are you worried about anything?"
Longtai was good at observing words and expressions. He saw Qining's expression and saw that Qining seemed to be worried about something else.
"Your Majesty, if Ximen Shenhou really said this, the problem shouldn't be too big." Qi Ning said, "I'm worried that even if that person poisoned me, he might not really know the antidote."
Longtai nodded and said: "I have also considered your worries, but now that I have a clue, the next thing will be much easier to handle." After a pause, he said: "I want you to come here, not just to tell you the news. , but there is one more thing for you to do."
Qi Ning stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Whatever the emperor has to do, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"I don't need you to go through fire and water." Long Tai said with a smile: "I want you to go to the Shenhou Mansion to interrogate the disciple of Jiuxi Poison King alone."
"Your Majesty, this... why is this?" Qi Ning was stunned and a little surprised, "The Shenhou Mansion has a special criminal department, which is used for interrogating prisoners. They have interrogated countless people, and their interrogation techniques must be very clever. In their If the disciples of the Jiuxi Poison King really know how to detoxify the poison in their hands, they should be taken out of their mouths by the officials of the Shenhou Mansion."
Longtai's expression became solemn, he looked around and waved to Qining. Qining approached the imperial desk, and then Longtai leaned closer and whispered: "I asked you to go to bring back the truth, from the Shenhou Mansion. People... I don't trust. And... I want you to confirm whether this matter is really related to Jiuxi Poison King!"
