She didn't mean to look at it, but she knew there was something wrong with the medicine with just a casual glance.
As for who wanted to harm Lu Ruoyan, she had a bad mouth and loved to stir up trouble. She had offended many people before because she was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family.
But Xia Zhiliao vaguely sensed that it might be Lu Seyan. After all, there were cases in the novel where the sisters had a falling out.
In the end, Lu Ruoyan's fate was also very miserable.
Of course, she had nothing to regret.
After all, she did make a move on the heroine. Ever since the heroine returned to the Marquis's Mansion, she and her mother had been causing trouble, and the heroine had avoided them all.
At first, the heroine didn't intend to do anything to them, but they used dirty tricks again and again, so the heroine fought back.
So at this moment, did Lu Seyan take any action?
If that's the case, then the heroine is no longer a white flower. She's very scary. Xia Zhiliao plans to avoid her and stay away from her as much as possible.
“Cicada!”
Xia Zhiliao turned around and saw Wen Chao. His words interrupted her thoughts. She patted her chest. She was almost scared to death by him.
"What's wrong? Did you do anything bad that makes you look so guilty?" Wen Chao asked with a smile.
"You're the one who did something bad!" Xia Zhiliao rolled his eyes, "Are you just passing by or do you have something to talk to me about?"
Wen Chao couldn't help but complain, "You were always polite to Wen Heng and Bage, why are you so fierce around me?"
Xia Zhiliao was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
How come she didn't feel it?
"No?" Wen Chao was angry. "They are all the same. How can you favor one over the other?"
Xia Zhiliao didn't understand what was wrong with this kid today. "No, no, if you don't have anything else, I'll go back."
"Who said I'm fine?" Wen Chao said, "I want to ask you for some medicine."
"Are you ill, too?"
"What do you mean I'm sick too?" Wen Chao looked at her suspiciously, "Who else?"
"Nothing, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Chao lifted up his trouser legs and said, "I don't know what bit me, and then this happened."
Xia Zhiliao's expression changed immediately when he saw the wound.
Wen Chao was originally smiling, but now he looked nervous, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"
"Do you know what bit you?"
Wen Chao shook his head. "I don't know. He was fine before going to bed yesterday, but when he woke up, he became like this. Could it be that you can't cure him?"
Xia Zhiliao glared at him. It was already this late and he was still talking nonsense.
"What's wrong? Tell me, don't scare me."
Xia Zhiliao didn't mean to scare him, "The thing that bit you must be a poisonous insect."
"Poisonous insects? No way? Where do poisonous insects come from here?"
Xia Zhiliao was not sure about this. This was the north, and poisonous insects were rare at this time of year. Moreover, this was the royal enclosure, so this factor must have been taken into consideration when deciding on the location.
What if there are poisonous insects and the emperor gets bitten? What should we do then?
"I know, I won't die, right?"
Wen Chao finally began to worry about his life.
"No!" Xia Zhiliao was just shocked that there were poisonous insects here, but now he is much calmer.
"If there is really something wrong, can you still yell here?"
Wen Chao was not stupid and he figured it out now.
"Then the look on your face just now..."
"This bug is not life-threatening, but it is very poisonous. When it first bites you, it may seem like an ordinary bug, but over time, the toxin will spread and your leg may be crippled."
"Waste?" Wen Chao was so scared that his body shook.
"So poisonous?"
Xia Zhiliao wanted to say that what is more poisonous is the human heart.
This time, Wen Heng was shot by an arrow and Wen Chao was bitten by a poisonous insect. One died and the other was disabled.
I don’t know if it was done by the same person, it’s just so scary.
Is it because he did so many tricks in secret that he doesn't want others to compete with him?
Who is it?
"I...I...then I..."
"You're fine, luckily you came to see me early." Xia Zhiliao said.
"Zhi Liao, you are really my savior."
This is really true. Xia Zhiliao doesn't know how good the imperial doctors in the palace are at detoxifying, but if no one can detoxify this poison, the Wen Dynasty will be ruined.
A prince with a crippled leg naturally cannot inherit the throne.
"What are you two talking about there?"
The weather was clear and the air was fresh, so Emperor Shunde did not go hunting today. He planned to take a walk, but he didn't expect the two little ones to be mumbling there.
"Father, I've been poisoned." Wen Chao said.
"Poisoned? What happened?" Emperor Shunde strode over with a solemn expression.
Wen Chao showed his leg to Emperor Shunde, "Look, Zhiliao said I was bitten by a poisonous insect."
Su Dequan looked nervous, "When did so many poisonous insects appear here? And it looks like they are really poisoned?"
Xia Zhiliao was still hesitating whether to speak out, but now Wen Chao had already started yelling at him.
"It's poisoning." She said affirmatively.
Emperor Shunde glanced at Su Dequan, and it was obvious that he believed Xia Zhiliao.
"Father, don't worry, the cicada can be cured."
Emperor Shunde nodded and said, "Su Dequan, go check why there are poisonous insects here? And tell all the ministers to be careful."
"Your Majesty, being careful is useless."
"Insects are indeed difficult to prevent, so do you have any good solutions?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded, "Yes, I can make sachets to protect you from poisonous insects, but..."
"But what?" Emperor Shunde also thought her method was good. "Just ask for what you need!"
Xia Zhiliao smiled slightly, "But can I not work for nothing?"
"Haha..." Emperor Shunde laughed loudly, "What a clever little man! I won't let you work in vain. I will reward you handsomely when we return to the capital."
Xia Zhiliao smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wen Chao also laughed. Did this count as helping Xia Zhiliao get a reward again?
"Um, my leg...when can it be cured?"
Xia Zhiliao almost forgot about him. "I have to go get the medicine. I'll give it to you in the evening. Eunuch Su, you also need to catch the poisonous insect as soon as possible to prevent more people from being poisoned."
"Yes, yes, the county lady is really a kind person. I will go right away."
Wen Chao was also sent back to the tent.
Xia Zhiliao hurried back to prepare the antidote. In fact, it could be done very quickly, but since someone was poisoned there, she was able to make the antidote here, as if she had been prepared for it.
Anyway, as long as she judges the time well, Wen Chao will be fine.
This can also clear her of suspicion, although probably no one will suspect her.
However, Xia Zhiliao still reminded his three brothers not to run around.
After something like this happened, even if she didn't say anything, Xia He and the others wouldn't dare to move.
"I can't say I will ever come here again. There are dead bodies and poisoning. It's so scary." Xia Hai said.
Xia He also nodded, "Yes, it's better than hunting in the countryside. There's not so much trouble."
