Qi Ning felt sorry for Tang Nuo and carefully put her on the bed. He wanted to cover her with a quilt, but then he thought that the quilt had been covered by several men. Although he had to make do with it now, he couldn't do it without a bottom line. Throwing the smelly quilt aside, he took off his cloak and covered Tang Nuo with it. Tang Nuo had also put on another cloak before, and it was still in the room over there, so he immediately went to the room on the side, ready to put it on. The big cloak was also brought and covered with it.
Entering the house, I could only smell the strong smell of herbs. Tang Nuo had been testing medicine here for the past two days, so naturally the smell was strong.
He felt that the smell of herbs was too strong, so he couldn't help but cover his nose. He saw the big cloak hanging by the side. As he was about to pass by, he heard a voice coming from the side: "Hou... Lord Hou!" The voice was quite weak. He turned around and saw There was already a person sitting on the couch in the corner. His clothes were in tatters. Naturally, he was the poisoned person sent by the Beggar Clan for testing.
I saw that the man's face was still covered with marks. He came closer, took a look by the light, and said with a smile: "Is that you?" This man turned out to be the beggar I had seen twice before, once at the gate of Jishi Hall. One time, he sent his companion to see a doctor, and the other time was in Luogu Lane. At that time, the person was already infected with the virus.
The man struggled to get off the couch and was about to kneel down. Qining hurriedly held his arm and said, "It doesn't have to be like this." He asked, "What's your name?"
The beggar said hurriedly: "My name is Liu Qingzhou!"
"Oh?" Qining nodded and smiled: "You don't have to worry, your poison has been removed and you will recover soon."
Since Tang Nuo's experiment was successful, Liu Qingzhou was naturally the first person to be detoxified.
Liu Qingzhou said gratefully: "Thank you Lord Marquis for saving your life. From now on, my little one... my life belongs to Lord Marquis."
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "Your life is your own. You don't have to leave it to anyone. Since you escaped death, you can live well in the future." He patted Liu Qingzhou on the shoulder. Liu Qingzhou was in his thirties. Qin Ning's appearance He was less than twenty years old, but at this moment, Qining looked extremely mature.
He took the big cloak and went over to cover Tang Nuo. Tang Nuo was already fast asleep. There was a stove in the room, and with the two layers of big cloak, he wouldn't be cold.
He went out, closed the door, and then walked quickly to the counter. Qi Feng had already copied a recipe according to it, handed it to Shangguan Lingfeng, and said: "Master Shangguan, follow the recipe above and go back." Buy medicine and prepare medicine immediately...!" After a pause, he felt that there were still hundreds of infected people in the Beggar Clan. If he really spent money to buy medicine, it would be a big expense. After hesitating, he saw Qining coming over and hurriedly He said: "Master Hou, the prescription has been written, and the captain of Shangguan can be sent back to save people."
Qi Ning then took the prescription and looked at it carefully. There were five medicinal ingredients in total. He knew that these five medicinal ingredients looked simple, but they took a lot of Tang Nuo's effort. A small prescription was worth tens of thousands of gold.
I saw the names of the two familiar medicinal herbs above. One was Feng Guzi and the other was Guimucao. They were the two medicinal herbs that I had gone to Tian Mansion to ask for before, but I didn't expect that both of them were used.
If it is other medicinal materials, it will be easier to handle. There are many medicine shops in the capital. The imperial court collects these five medicinal materials to save people, and the inventory should be sufficient. However, Fengguzi and Guimucao are the medicinal materials that the capital lacks. As far as we know, they are really Only Tian's medicine store has these two medicinal materials, but Qining doesn't know how much Tian's medicine store has in stock.
After all, the profits of these two medicinal materials are not high, and the sales are not good. Not many medicine shops will stock these medicinal materials.
"Master Shangguan, please take the prescription first." Qining said: "There are five medicinal herbs in total, three of which are easy to find in the capital, and the other two are a bit troublesome." After a slight pause, he said: " You go to other places to look for Guimucao and Fengguzi, and the remaining three medicinal herbs are also in stock at Yong'an Hall, just ask someone to come and pick them up."
Shangguan Lingfeng was startled.
Last time Qining went to Luogu Lane, the Beggar Gang misunderstood Qi Ning at first and was very rude. Shangguan Lingfeng also treated Qi Ning coldly at that time, so it was quite embarrassing when they met him today.
Qining presented the antidote prescription, and Shangguan Lingfeng was already grateful. Unexpectedly, Qining actually told him to go to Yong'an Hall to get the medicine at any time if he was short of medicinal materials. He had mixed feelings for a while, and he suddenly raised his hand and punched his head fiercely. He was slapped on the face, and several people around him were startled. Shangguan Lingfeng was already ashamed and said: "Master Hou, the beggar is ignorant. I offended Master Hou last time, and the beggar is blind. Your Excellency, there are so many people, don't do it." Complain with me."
Qining knew that such a gangster had clear grievances, and Shangguan Lingfeng's reaction really showed that he was a man of temperament. He smiled and said: "What is there to argue about? I don't remember what happened last time. Then he frowned and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Master Shangguan, after you go back, immediately send your subordinates to inquire around the city to see which medicine shop still has the two medicinal materials of Guimucao and Fengguzi, which can even be used in the capital." Go out and inquire."
Shangguan Lingfeng knew that saving lives is like putting out fires, so he did not hesitate. He put Fang Zi in his arms and said, "Master Hou, I will make arrangements right away." Without delay, he hurried away.
Qi Ning then ordered Qi Feng: "You arrange for someone to go to the Tian family medicine store and tell Mrs. Tian that there is no problem with what I promised her, so that she can rest assured. However, she can prepare as many of these two medicinal materials as she has in her medicine store." , it will be used soon." Before Qi Feng could say anything, he added: "Go to Commander Xue in person and explain these five herbs. It is not necessary to say that these are antidote prescriptions, just say that these five herbs are essential for detoxification. , ask him to send people to collect these five medicinal herbs."
Qi Feng said: "Let Commander Xue collect medicinal materials?"
"The Emperor has decreed that the Tiger God Camp led by Xue should maintain order in the capital, and if necessary, it can even forcefully commandeer mansions to house infected people." Qi Ning said: "Soldiers should just do things happily. Asking people from Hushen Camp to go to medicine shops and medicine shops to collect medicinal materials will not waste time. Since the mansion can be requisitioned, it is natural to requisition some medicinal materials. This is a life-saving matter, and no one dares to stop it."
Qi Feng smiled and said: "Master Hou said, I will go now." After a pause, he asked: "Master Hou, what did you promise Mrs. Tian and how should you say it?"
"No need to say too much, just say that what I promised her has been accomplished." Qi Ning said with a smile: "She wants the medicinal materials from the Tian Family Medicine Store to be brought into the Imperial Hospital, and their medicinal materials will be used in the palace from now on. It is a matter of fame and fortune. .”
Qi Feng was startled and said with a smile: "I see, then the Marquis has really done it for her?"
"How can I have time to dwell on this matter?" Qi Ning said: "When this matter is over, let's see if there is a chance to help her." He smiled and said: "This Mrs. Tian is not easy to deal with. If there is no benefit, I'm afraid I'll have to push back and forth again, and we can't let a woman delay anything that's urgent."
Qi Feng cupped his hands and said, "I know, Lord Marquis, I will make arrangements right now." He immediately arranged for someone to go to Tian Mansion immediately, while he went to find Xue Lingfeng.
Qi Ning went over and saw Tang Nuo sleeping soundly, closed the door, and even arranged for someone to escort him outside, he did not stop at the medicine shop, but rushed to the palace.
There was still a long way to go from Yong'an Hall to the Imperial City and the palace was already dark. When we arrived at the Imperial City, it was just in time to enter the palace.
Although the young emperor had ascended the throne and held a ceremony to worship heaven and ascend the throne at Daguangming Temple, the first court meeting of ministers had not yet been held.
Qi Ning knew that the emperor's first court meeting was an extremely solemn event. The court should have been preparing. If it weren't for the sudden epidemic disaster, the first court meeting would have been held.
When we arrived outside the imperial city, it was already bright. The Yulin camp guarding the city saw Qining showing off the gold medal and immediately let him go.
Qi Ning entered the palace twice. Although the palace was like a forest and resplendent, fortunately he had an excellent memory, had a gold medal in his hand, and was a Marquis of Jinyi. He made it all the way to the outside of the imperial study, but he did not know that the emperor was there. When he was not in the royal study, he saw the eunuch on duty and went to ask. The eunuch went in to report and soon came out to summon Qining.
Long Tai heard Qin Ning begging to see him and said happily: "Come in, come in, damn, you can actually escape death." It was obvious that he was very excited that Qin Ning could come back safely, and he couldn't help but curse. .
Qi Ning walked in quickly and saw Long Tai coming forward. Seeing the excited expression on Long Tai's face, it seemed that the little emperor had been really concerned about his safety. He felt warm in his heart and stepped forward to kneel down and salute. Long Tai had already He grabbed his arm to prevent him from kneeling down, looked him up and down, and suddenly punched Qining in the chest without any force, and said with a smile: "Qining, I knew you were a loach in the river, very slippery. How can you be harmed so easily?"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Qi Ning shouted in a fake tone, and then smiled: "The Emperor's power is in the sky, and with the Emperor's protection, it is natural to turn danger into safety."
"Stop talking nonsense." Long Tai said with a smile: "You don't think so." He let go of Qining's hand, turned around and sat down behind the case, and then said: "After you were arrested, Ximen Wuhen came to report, this Shenhou Mansion Someone dared to break in and rob someone. How audacious. Qining, Ximen Wuhen said that the person had his face covered and couldn’t see clearly, but he was probably from the Black Lotus Sect. Is that true? Can you see clearly? Who is he?"
Qi Ning took two steps forward and said: "Your Majesty, I see clearly that the person who entered the Shenhou Mansion to rob people is Jiuxi Poison King Swing Yi!"
Long Tai frowned for a while and said: "Is it really him? Ximen Wuhen said that that person might be the Jiuxi Poison King. It seems that he was not wrong." He sneered and said: "Now it seems that the epidemic poison is indeed the black one." I was still doubting what the Holy Lotus Sect did before, but now there is irrefutable proof that the Black Lotus Holy Sect is going to rebel."
"Your Majesty, I will report to the Emperor about the Black Lotus Holy Sect later." Qi Ning said: "I am asking to see the Emperor because I have something very happy to report to the Emperor."
"A happy event?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the antidote to the epidemic has just been successfully found." He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is the recipe for the antidote. There is no mistake. It has been made. Pass the experiment.”
Longtai picked up the prescription and glanced at it. He was surprised and happy, and his hands were shaking slightly, "Qining... this... did you really find a way to detoxify?" He slammed the table and shouted: "Qining, Damn it, you have made a huge contribution, a great achievement, I know that with you by my side, all difficulties will be solved."
