Cheng Yifei sensed something was wrong with Gu Feiyan, he asked seriously, "What are you running for?"
Gu Feiyan only perfunctory, "I thought there would be ephedra here. Let's go, let's look elsewhere."
She avoided Cheng Yifei's scrutiny, turned around and returned the same way. Seeing her anxious look, Cheng Yifei didn't press her further.
However, not long after, Cheng Yifei suddenly shouted behind her, "Come here... come here! Come here!"
Gu Feiyan was startled, thinking that Cheng Yifei had seen the assassin.
She hurriedly turned her head, but saw Cheng Yifei pointing in the direction of the steep slope and shouting. She looked over and was shocked again!
There is really ephedra here!
What a coincidence!
I saw five or six ephedra plants on the steep slope, and not all of them died. At least two of them had usable stems. If you pick the others, you should be able to pick some.
Cheng Yifei was very happy, and asked, "Little drug girl, how do you know that there is ephedra here? I thought you were running around!"
Gu Feiyan was stunned! How would she know? She doesn't know anything at all!
The soldiers rushed over after hearing the news, and they were all overjoyed.
"Is it ephedra? Orphan girl, is there anything wrong this time?"
"Great! Xu Bin is saved!"
"Fortunately, we believe in the lonely drug girl, or we can..."
…
The steep slope was too steep to stand on at all. The soldiers could only hold hands one by one and use each other's strength to walk down. Cheng Yifei was very excited, he was the first to go down. He wanted to pick the ephedra himself, but he didn't notice the strangeness of Gu Feiyan.
As soon as he reached the ephedra, he shouted, "Little drug girl, how do you pick it? Tell me!"
Only then did Gu Feiyan regain her senses, and said hastily, "Cut off everything above the root, keep the root. Be careful."
Generally speaking, ephedra refers to the stem of ephedra, but the root of ephedra is also medicinal. Ephedra stems sweat and dispel cold, ventilate the lungs and relieve asthma; ephedra roots are mainly used to treat night sweats due to physical deficiency, and their value is not as high as the stems. These ephedras have roots, and when the spring is warm, new stems will grow again. Gu Feiyan could tell that these ephedra were old plants, and they should have been picked several times.
Cheng Yifei did as he did, but Gu Feiyan was still panicked. She watched and thought.
Isn't this a coincidence
Could it be that the masked assassin lured her here on purpose? However, the location of the military camp here, and that guy is an assassin, how could he be familiar with this area? Besides, they have enmity, and he is not a good person, why should he help her
Gu Feiyan felt that she really thought too much!
After picking up the ephedra, Cheng Yifei let go of the soldier's hand, borrowed some strength from the cliff, flew up into the air, landed in front of Gu Feiyan, handed the ephedra to her, and continued to ask the question just now.
"Little drug girl, how do you know that there is ephedra here? We didn't go here last night, did we?"
Gu Feiyan didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and made up a bunch of reasons such as terrain, light, soil, etc. to prevaricate. She didn't care whether Cheng Yifei believed it or not, she just urged him to go down the mountain to save people.
After a large group of people left, Jun Jiuchen's figure appeared on the path. Like a shadow, he suddenly appeared out of thin air, quickly and quietly, making it unclear where he came from.
He was familiar with the Eastern Army Camp. He is not only familiar with the East Army Camp, but also the West Army Camp. These two armies are like the two legs of Tianyan Kingdom. If he is not familiar with them, how can he make Tianyan want to stand firm and go far
If he was not in the city, he would always lurk in the forest near the military camp. He doesn't know medicine or medicine, but he has a photographic memory for things related to medicine. He didn't know if it was his innate ability, or because he learned it when he was a child. He couldn't remember anything before the age of fourteen.
Gu Feiyan and the others left, but Jun Jiuchen did not leave. He jumped lightly and sat on the huge tree trunk. He took off a bunch of beads from his wrist and played with them quietly. There are a total of 108 beads in this hand, and they are not common sandalwood beads, but made of an extremely rare spice called Qinan Chenxiang. He also doesn't remember how the Buddhist beads came about, he just remembers that the Buddhist beads are very important to him.
Jun Jiuchen lowered his head, played quietly, seemed to be thinking about something, and seemed to be distracted, the lonely figure silently merged with the dead grass and decayed trees all over the mountain into a picture, lonely and desolate .
After a long time, a black shadow fell, and it was Mang Zhong who had arrived.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Wu's evidence is all in hand, and it's all prescriptions. Imperial Physician Luo asked three reliable retired pharmacists to look at it, but they couldn't find any clues.
"Who made these prescriptions?"
"I have compared the handwriting of all the imperial physicians, and none of them match. It should come from outside the palace. Both Mang Zhong and Luo imperial physicians suspect that these prescriptions are secret letters, hiding the real murderer's instructions to Eunuch Wu. If you want to decipher them, I am afraid that only Eunuch Wu can be tried."
"So, Eunuch Wu's true master is not someone from the palace?"
Jun Jiuchen was quite surprised. He jumped down from the tree and took the large stack of prescriptions. He flipped through a few pages, and he could roughly see what diseases these prescriptions were for, but he couldn't see the mystery behind them.
Mang Zhong said in a low voice, "Your Highness, why don't you do it? The truth will be revealed after Eunuch Wu is interrogated! It's very dangerous to keep Eunuch Wu."
Jun Jiuchen didn't think about it, not to mention that it was too early to arrest Eunuch Wu, even if he was arrested, he might not be able to pry Eunuch Wu's mouth open. He has plenty of time and patience when dealing with enemies. Whether it's ghosts in the palace or enemies outside the palace, he will take care of it all!
"No, let's not startle the snake."
After Jun Jiuchen explained, he went down the mountain and walked in another direction, which was different from Gu Feiyan and the others.
Gu Feiyan and Cheng Yifei returned to the barracks as quickly as possible. At this time, there was only one hour before noon. Xu Bin's condition continued to deteriorate as expected by Guo Junyi.
It used to happen once every 25 minutes, but now it happens once every 15 minutes, and even the duration of the attacks is still shortening, and the intensity of the attacks is still increasing. Acupuncture and moxibustion have basically lost their effect, yet Dr. Guo Jun still insisted on applying acupuncture.
After Gu Feiyan understood the situation, she made a decisive decision and asked her maid to boil the "raw ephedra" quickly for Xu Bin to take first. For the remaining ephedra, she will take it to roast with honey!
Not all medicinal materials are suitable for direct use. Direct use is called "raw use" of medicinal materials, while medicinal materials used after processing are called "cooked use". There are many ways to process medicinal materials, and honey roasting is one of them, which can enhance the medicinal properties, help the medicinal effects to be exerted, and promote the body's absorption. In specific prescriptions, there are specific effects.
Gu Feiyan was about to leave, but Guo Junyi didn't care too much, and said seriously, "Guyao girl, I'm wrong! What I said just now is just sophistry. It's better to use all these medicinal materials raw. If the medicinal effect is enough, maybe It can be delayed for a while. If it is honey roasting, it will take too much time!"
Gu Feiyan was comforted by the attitude of Doctor Guo.
She looked back and saw that not only Doctor Guo was looking at her, but everyone in the room, including the dying soldier, was also looking at her. There was no doubt in their eyes, but worry...
