"It's only the third day. It looks like we have to wait a little longer. Taking out the antidote at this time won't achieve the best effect."
When speaking, Zhao Fulan's face was full of compassion, and her voice was kind and gentle, but the content of her words was terrifying when one thought about it carefully.
At this moment, a deafening gong sounded outside the yard, startling Zhao Fulan so much that she broke the branches in her hands.
Then she heard the city guards shouting.
"Doctor, demon?"
Zhao Fulan clenched her fingers, and the delicate petals were crushed and shattered.
She was very familiar with this person who had ruined the plans of the Immortal Doctor Sect several times.
This person was very mysterious, wearing a white robe that was not stained by dust, and a silver-white mask covering his face. No one knew whether he was a man or a woman, how old he was, or where he lived. It was as if he had appeared out of thin air.
The only thing we know is that he has superb medical skills and can bring the dead back to life.
Because of him, the expansion plan of the Immortal Doctor Sect was abruptly slowed down.
I didn't expect to run into him again this time.
But this time, she would never let him pick peaches from her hands and step on her to gain the reputation and gratitude of the people.
Zhao Fulan looked at the flower arrangement in front of her with a dark look in her eyes. "Xiang Wu, go to the City Lord's Mansion and invite Sima Kuang to come. Tell him that I have been working day and night for the past few days and have already found an antidote."
"Yes, I will go right away."
Originally, the person Zhao Fulan really wanted to hook up with was the acting city lord Sima Lin. Unfortunately, Sima Lin was a wooden man who only knew how to practice and had basically never stepped out of the city lord's mansion.
If she went directly to the door, it would seem a bit deliberate.
Fortunately, there is Sima Kuang.
When Sima Kuang heard that Zhao Fulan had actually developed an antidote, he was so surprised that he immediately followed Xiang Wu to the courtyard.
"Third Young Master, you're here..." Before Zhao Fulan finished her words, she covered her mouth and started coughing.
Xiang Wu hurried forward and supported her.
Seeing her pale and haggard face and thin body, Sima Kuang felt distressed: "Fulan, you have worked hard these days. Sit down quickly."
He carefully helped Zhao Fulan sit down, as if he treated her as fragile porcelain.
Zhao Fulan frowned slightly and resisted the urge to push him away.
"Fulan, where is the antidote?" Sima Kuang asked, suppressing his excitement.
Zhao Fulan took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve.
Sima Kuang's eyes flashed, but he did not take it. Instead, he held Zhao Fulan's shoulders and looked at her seriously: "Fulan, thank you for everything you have done for me. With the antidote, this plague will be nothing. But..."
"But what?"
Sima Kuang sighed and said, "You also know that I am suppressed in every way at home. Although I am called the son of the city lord's mansion, I am actually living a worse life than a servant with a better life."
He pounded his fist in anger.
"It's fine for me, but I can't let you suffer with me."
Zhao Fulan: “…”
Why do I feel like I can't understand what he's saying? "This is a great opportunity! As long as you give me the prescription, I can use it to completely solve the plague and gain the love of the people in the city. Then, with a little more work, the position of city lord will be mine! And you will be the city lord's wife!"
Sima Kuang stared at her with shining eyes, and his nostrils seemed to expand due to excitement.
Zhao Fulan: “…”
When did she give him the illusion that she would marry him? Why did he think that she would give him the prescription that she had "researched with great effort"? Moreover, if he wanted to become the city lord, he should fight for it with his own ability. Why did he even want to rely on her? How arrogant and narcissistic is this person! Damn idiot! Zhao Fulan moved her fingers, and she had the urge to plant a poison on him.
But thinking that he might be useful later, he held back.
She lowered her eyes, "I can give you the prescription..."
Sima Kuang was ecstatic.
But then Zhao Fulan added: "But to make the antidote, we need a medicinal lead, and this medicinal lead can only be provided by me."
Sima Kuang's face darkened: "Fulan, you didn't mean to tell me the prescription and made up this lie, did you?"
Zhao Fulan: Damn it! I can’t act anymore! I really want to crush this ugly thing to death!
Xiang Wu stepped forward very considerately and complained: "How can Third Young Master think like this? You know, our girl has been working day and night to develop an antidote these days."
Sima Kuang looked at Zhao Fulan who was keeping silent with her head down, thinking that she was hurt by him, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Fulan, I'm sorry, I don't know how to speak, please don't bother with me..."
Seeing Zhao Fulan's expression turn around, he asked, "What is the medicine lead? Why are you the only one who can provide it?"
"The medicine is the spiritual power in my body."
Zhao Fulan lightly touched the flower buds with her finger, and the buds bloomed layer by layer, beautifully captivating.
Sima Kuang looked at this scene, feeling both envious and jealous. Why couldn't he practice?
But it doesn't matter, even if he is just a mortal, so what? Zhao Fulan, the cultivator and the young master of the Immortal Doctor Sect, is still infatuated with him, right?
The Penglai Secret Realm will be opened soon, and he will definitely be able to obtain supreme opportunities in it and become an immortal in one fell swoop! "In this case, I'll trouble you to work harder, Fulan. Once the plague is over, I will marry you."
Zhao Fulan lowered her head and said nothing.
Sima Kuang thought she was shy and felt that he was extremely charming.
Little did he know that Zhao Fulan was thinking of eighteen ways for him to die.
"Well, thank you for taking care of these herbs." Zhao Fulan handed him a list that had been prepared long ago.
Sima Kuang took it in a good mood, "No problem, leave it to me."
Sima Kuang owned a pharmacy, so he quickly prepared all the medicinal materials Zhao Fulan needed.
At the same time, Sima Lin also received the news and learned that he was mobilizing a large number of medicinal materials.
At the beginning of the afternoon at 3 o'clock, Sima Kuang and Zhao Fulan went to the quarantine area in the north of the city with a large amount of prepared antidote.
However, when they stepped in, what they saw were not patients suffering from the plague, but a large number of city guards wearing soft armor and holding weapons.
The city guards surrounded the few people.
Zhao Fulan's heart sank.
Sima Kuang's face turned pale with horror.
Sima Lin stepped out from the crowd and gave the order: "Capture him!"
"Brother, what do you mean?" Sima Kuang tried to break free from the two hands that were holding his shoulders.
Sima Lin sneered: "What do you mean? You teamed up with this vicious female liar who called herself the 'Young Master of the Immortal Doctor Sect' to release poison to the people of the city. When the situation became urgent, you brought out the so-called 'antidote' and tried to gain the love of the people by posing as a savior so that you could usurp the position of city lord!
"For the mere position of city lord, you disregarded the lives of all the people in the city. Your methods are so cruel and ruthless that they make people shudder!"
