Shi Xi entered the pharmacy first. Inside, unidentified instruments were scattered haphazardly on the tables, and rows of shelves held bottles and jars, as well as transparent glass containers containing the corpses of centipedes, scorpions, venomous snakes, and other poisonous creatures.

And there was something alive—a snake coiled inside a jar.

Shi Xi swallowed nervously; she was most afraid of these soft, limp creatures.

Di Chenxiao blocked Shi Xi's view.

Emperor Wu swiftly picked up the cloth and covered the wriggling creature.

Shi Xi scratched her head sheepishly, "I...I'm just...just a little...a little afraid of...soft, crawling animals."

The nights in the capital were cold. Shi Xi wore a pink, fluffy pajama set, with a pink coat with bunny ears that Di Chenxiao had given her before she left. Combined with her soft, adorable face and bright, expressive eyes, she was simply irresistible.

Di Chenxiao's face darkened. He regretted dressing Shi Xi in such a cute outfit.

Di Wu lowered his head, not daring to look at Shi Xi, and said, "Girls are all like this. Although I am a doctor, I was also very scared when I first came into contact with these things."

Emperor Yi: "..."

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the man who had grown up playing with drugs say that he was afraid of these things.

He remembered that Emperor Wu had once said that poisonous things like snakes and centipedes were cute.

Women who want to please their masters will lie without batting an eye.

Di Chenxiao looked at the three people at the door with cold eyes and said, "Are you all very free?"

Di Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm not free, I'm really not free, I'm very busy, A Wu, I just remembered I still have a lot of things to do, I'll go first!"

"Master, goodbye Miss Shi!"

Shi Xi: "..."

After she finished speaking, she could no longer see Di Yi's figure.

Di'er sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. Di Yi was always a bit slow on the uptake, except when it came to training and his master's unspoken meanings.

"Master, Miss Shi, please continue looking around. We'll be leaving now!"

Di Shi: "Miss Shi, Master, I take my leave!"

Di'er followed behind Di Shi, helplessly rubbing his forehead.

This kid, really, he's constantly reminding himself of his place.

Di Chenxiao held Shi Xi's hand and said, "Xi Xi, tell Di Wu what kind of poison you want."

After they get the medicine, they can go back.

He and Xixi didn't have much time to spend together to begin with, and now that Xixi finally had a chance to sleep in Xiyuan, there was an extra person following her around.

Emperor Duoyuwu: ...

Shi Xi's eyes lit up. "I want medicine that makes people itchy all over, medicine that makes them have diarrhea, and... medicine that makes them sleepy."

Emperor Wu took out three bottles of medicine from the shelf, took out five pills from each, wrapped them in paper, and wrote their names on the paper.

"This packet contains an itchy medicine, this packet contains a laxative, and this packet contains sleeping pills. These medicines are ten times stronger than those sold outside, especially the sleeping pills; one pill can make someone sleep all day."

Di Wu handed Shi Xi the packages one by one.

"Then... will people die if they take the first two kinds of medicine?"

"No. There's no antidote for itching medicine and laxatives. They won't kill you, but they will... make you feel quite uncomfortable. One pill can make you itchy for three days and have diarrhea for three days."

These two medications are quite harmful.

People with poor health... might not be able to handle it, but Emperor Wu didn't say.

Shi Xi looked at the medicine in her hand and nodded. She only needed to use half of it when she was giving it to others.

Do you have... any medicine here that can make someone's body instantly weak and sore?

Di Wu walked to the innermost part, took out a bottle of spray, gave it to Shi Xi, and said, "As long as you spray it into the air, people will feel weak all over."

He took another pill from the table. "Take this, and the spray will be permanently ineffective against you."

"That's great! I'll eat it when I want to," Shi Xi said with a smile.

Do you have... a drug... that can... kill people?
