Su Luo knew all this, of course, but if it was to save Nangong Chiyu, what did it matter if she bore the blame?
"Chi Yi, you don't need to say anything, I know all this."
Looking at the small porcelain bottle in her hand, Su Luo poured the two pills lying inside into her hand. The black pills emitted a strong medicinal fragrance.
Just by smelling them, Su Luo could identify several of the herbs.
It contains Rehmannia glutinosa, Coptis chinensis, honeysuckle, and Polygonatum sibiricum, among others...
There are antidotes and tonics to neutralize the poison, but we'll have to wait for Su Luo to have them tested to find out the specifics.
"Chi Yi, the army still needs you. The letter requesting reinforcements from the court should have a response soon. If anything comes up, we can discuss it together."
The Chiyu Army suffered heavy casualties this time. If no reinforcements are sent, Beiliang may launch another surprise attack, and Beichuan City will fall.
The first thing Su Luo did upon returning to the courtyard was to check on Nangong Chiyu's condition.
He was still pale, and only his throbbing pulse proved that he was still alive.
Without further ado, Su Luo withdrew her hand from his face and turned to enter the space.
They used every available tool to analyze the antidote given by Ye Beihan, meticulously breaking it down bit by bit.
She didn't trust Ye Beihan, and she certainly wouldn't let Nangong Chiyu take anything Ye Beihan brought, since Ye Beihan was the one who created this poisonous insect.
Now they want to use Nangong Chiyu's poison to control her.
She could break down every substance in the pills, and she could get her hands on all the medicines. These were similar to the antidote pills she had made for Nangong Chiyu before.
Just as Guo Gaofeng said, there was one medicinal herb that Su Luo couldn't decompose no matter what she tried, no matter what methods she used or how many books on rare and precious herbs she read, she still couldn't find out what it was.
Using a machine to analyze it, it seems to be the blood of some kind of animal, but it doesn't seem to be, because there are trace amounts of toxins in it.
If these toxins were truly blood, then animals could not possibly survive, so perhaps only Ye Beihan knows about this.
Then Su Luo extracted the toxins from the dead poisonous insect and used the extracted medicine to detoxify it.
The other medicines only neutralized the effects; only the unnamed, blood-like medicine had some effect.
After combining them and detoxifying them again, the color of the toxins indeed became much lighter.
The pill that Ye Beihan gave her was effective, and Su Luo also extracted it. The most effective part was the blood that she had never seen before.
As long as there is enough of this blood-like medicine, along with herbs, the poison in Nangong Chiyu's body can be cured.
By the time Su Luo left the space, it was already dark. She fed Nangong Chiyu some rice porridge, and then fed him the still intact pill.
After an incense stick had burned, Nangong Chiyu's pulse became noticeably more stable, and the frequency of his pulse was also slightly stronger than before.
If this remedy remains available, she can buy Nangong Chiyu more time to develop an antidote.
Two more days passed. She spent those two days in her spatial dimension, as well as gathering all the doctors from the military camp and Beichuan City to study the matter. No one knew what the blood-like medicinal herb was.
Several doctors believed that it was blood, and some even said that there couldn't possibly be other toxins in the blood, so it must have been mixed with other drugs, and that Su Luo's test was wrong.
They used visual inspection, while Su Luo used a high-data machine. Su Luo was certain that there could not be such blood in animals.
unless……
Su Luo had a sudden inspiration: animals couldn't have this kind of blood, so what about poisonous creatures?
Aren't these poisonous insects brought by the Northern Liang also mutated species that are not recorded in books and ancient texts?
Having figured everything out, Su Luo went to the military camp again to find Chi Yi. She made up her mind: she would go find Ye Beihan, and if she could find this blood, she would save Nangong Chiyu.
Before she even entered the military camp, she encountered Chi Yi riding out of the camp and they met face to face.
The horse galloped forward, and Chi Yi pulled on the reins. The horse neighed in pain, raised its front hooves high, and then put them down heavily.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the court. I am on my way to find you."
"Let's talk back in the tent!"
Chi Yi looked even more anxious than Su Luo, so Su Luo could only tell them to go back and talk about it later.
Inside the tent, Su Luo asked, "Have reinforcements arrived?"
Chi Yi shook his head and handed the urgent imperial edict in his hand to Su Luo.
"No, it's because the late emperor passed away the day before yesterday, and now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, the court can't spare any reinforcements."
Moreover, His Majesty's first decree upon ascending the throne was that you, Princess Consort, are forbidden from going to Northern Liang.
When negotiating with the court, Chi Yi naturally informed His Majesty about Prince Yu's poisoning and the envoy sent by Northern Liang.
The people of Beiliang wanted Su Luo to go to Beiliang to teach agriculture. They said it was to teach agriculture, but once she got there, only the gods knew whether she lived or died.
Su Luo put the imperial edict she had just finished reading aside and spoke in a calm, low voice.
"When the late emperor passed away, Nanning was at its most chaotic and weakest point. Beichuan City did not have Nangong Chiyu as a stronghold. If Beiliang were to raise an army at this time, it would be the best time to win."
We've received information, and Ye Beihan must have received it too. The reason they haven't dared to act this time is because they're afraid of the weapons I possess.
"As the saying goes, a general in the field may disobey some orders. Besides, the late emperor promised me that I could ignore everything in the court except for studying agriculture."
"I will not accept this imperial decree. I have decided to go and find an antidote for Nangong Chiyu. I am determined to go to Beiliang."
Chi Yi had long foreseen that the princess would definitely venture alone into Beiliang for the prince, and she was not afraid of being infamous for it.
"Your Highness, have you thought this through? If you go to Beiliang, you may not be able to come back alive."
Su Luo left the tent without changing her expression. Her resolute back was unshakable, no matter what lay ahead, whether it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire.
She looked back at Nangong Chiyu one last time and told him about her trip to Beiliang, regardless of whether he could hear her or not.
"Nangong Chiyu, as long as I can heal you, I am willing to do whatever it takes. Even if Beiliang is full of thorns and fire, I dare to go and brave it."
"Don't worry, I have my spatial storage. I'll be fine. Even if it's a matter of life and death, I can hide inside my spatial storage and I will definitely bring you the antidote."
After Su Luo left, Nangong Chiyu's fingers twitched, as if he wanted to wake up but couldn't, and the whole room was filled with a sense of helplessness.
Before setting off, Su Luo left a letter for Chi Yi, leaving behind all the weapons she had in her spatial storage that could be used in combat.
With these, Beichuan City will not fall, and with these, no matter how cunning Beiliang is, they will not be able to get close to Nangong Chiyu.
These things can destroy a country. As long as she obtains the antidote in Beiliang, she can attack the city. Or, if news of her death comes from Beiliang, this war can also be started.
After explaining her final arrangements, as well as the management and use of each weapon, Su Luo rode off alone on horseback across the sand.
