Chapter 471 There is another medicine
Ning Yu wanted to call General Xie to save him, but his throat was tightly pinched and he couldn't make any sound.
Just when he thought he was going to die here, a figure flashed forward and tapped the stall owner's arm a few times.
The stall owner's grip on Ning Yu instantly weakened a lot, and then his arm was clamped and pulled away.
Ning Yu felt that the shackles on his neck had finally disappeared. He collapsed to the ground somewhat exhausted, breathing in deep gulps of fresh air.
General Xie subdued the stall owner to the ground and looked at Ning Yu worriedly: "Ning Dazi, are you okay?"
Ning Yu didn’t like playing with others or talking to others before, and he looked dull.
General Xie gave him a nickname, Ning Daizi.
Ning Yu touched his throat and the place where he was pinched was still aching.
He shook his head, his voice a little hoarse: "I'm fine."
Although the stall owner had been subdued by General Xie at this time, he became more and more agitated.
His eyes were wide open, and he was breathing heavily. He looked like he was possessed by an evil spirit, which was a bit scary.
General Xie increased his strength impatiently: "Behave yourself!"
Ning Yu finally felt better. He slowly stood up and picked up the medicine bottle that had fallen to the ground.
Seeing Ning Yu's actions, the stall owner glared at him fiercely and muttered something, but it was unclear what he was saying.
Ning Yu shuddered all over as he was stared at by that terrifying gaze.
Although he couldn't hear what the stall owner was saying, Ning Yu felt that he was scolding him.
If the stall owner had not been restrained by General Xie and unable to get up, he would have rushed over and torn him to pieces.
Seeing that Ning Yu was fine, General Xie was about to take the stall owner back to interrogate him about what happened, when he saw him start to twitch.
Before General Xie and Ning Yu could react, a figure flashed forward, took out a silver needle and quickly pricked the stall owner several times.
As he moved, the stall owner slowly calmed down, but his eyes were still frighteningly red, as if they were about to bleed.
Ning Yu was slightly startled: "Doctor Fang?"
Doctor Fang is one of the imperial doctors who followed them to the northwest this time, and he is also the youngest among them.
His appearance here proves that Doctor Xu and his team have also arrived.
After Doctor Fang finished the acupuncture, he took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, uncorked it and held the bottle under the stall owner's nose.
The stall owner smelled the contents of the medicine bottle, the bloodshot in his eyes gradually faded, and his breathing became steady.
General Xie and Ning Yu were suspicious and were about to speak when a voice suddenly came over.
"Master Ning, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ning Yu looked up and saw that it was Doctor Xu and his group.

After being busy these days, Zhou Ying asked Chen Huazheng to have a good rest in the inn today as they had a day off.
It happened that Magistrate Lin had someone send some goat's milk wine and cakes to the inn, so she called Princess Lejia to go and try them.
Chen Huazheng walked into Princess Lejia's room and found her sitting at the table, staring at something intently.
"Aning, what are you doing? My cousin Ying and I are waiting for you to drink goat milk wine together."
Shen Huazheng walked forward and found two paintings on Princess Lejia's desk.
What she was staring at just now was the painting on the table.
Princess Lejia looked up: "Zhengzheng, what do you think of these two paintings?"
Shen Huazheng looked at the paintings on the table, one of which showed a winter snow scene.
The other depicts the greenery of spring.
In addition to the scenery, there are also portraits of people.
Shen Huazheng looked at it carefully: "The paintings are very good, but there are some strange things. The winter snow scene painting makes people feel warm, while the spring painting, which should show vigorous vitality, inexplicably feels lonely and sad."
Princess Lejia's eyes lit up: "Do you really think so?"
The winter snow scene painting has delicate brushstrokes and just the right amount of white space.
The sky and the earth were covered in white, with snowflakes falling on the roof and the ground.
There were two people standing opposite each other in front of the house, a man and a woman.
They didn't hold umbrellas, and a few thin snowflakes fell on their heads and bodies.
The colors are just right, with endless charm.
There is a simple, plain, yet happy feeling.
Chen Huazheng nodded: "Looking at this snow scene painting, it seems as if I can see the couple in the painting enjoying the snow scene while chatting and laughing."
She paused and looked back at the spring painting.
The painting is surrounded by mountains in the distance, a stream flowing nearby, lush greenery, and butterflies flying among the flowers.
A lonely figure stood at the foot of the mountain, looking into the distance.
It seems like he is waiting for someone.
"This spring painting looks full of life, but the figure looks lonely, which makes people feel a little disappointed."
As Shen Huazheng spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and she suddenly looked at Princess Lejia——
"Aning, did you draw this?"
Is Aning missing someone?
Or, is the person in the painting someone that Aning knows?
Could it be that Aning was hiding in the room and not going out because she was thinking about something sad? ? ! !
Princess Lejia stood up with a smile: "What are you thinking about? I copied these two paintings."
Shen Huazheng choked when she heard this: "Copy?"
She had already thought about how to comfort Aning, but it turned out that this painting was copied by her.
Princess Lejia: "You also know the owner of the painting, it's Mo Daru."
Shen Huazheng was slightly startled: “Mo Jijiu?”
Mo Jijiu always looks happy and eats and drinks for free everywhere.
I didn't expect his paintings to be in this style.
Princess Lejia carefully put away the painting, then pulled Shen Huazheng out.
"It's a long story. Two years ago, I accidentally got these two paintings and I liked them very much. You know me, I like to paint. But I can't paint this kind of mood, so I tried to copy them."
When Princess Lejia got these two paintings, she was extremely happy.
She likes Mo Daru's paintings the most.
Moreover, you can tell there are stories behind these two paintings at a glance.
Sometimes when I want to write a heart-wrenching, tear-jerking love story, I have no inspiration.
Princess Lejia would take out these two paintings and sometimes even copy them.
Chen Huazheng: "This is your copy, is the original still in the capital?"
Princess Lejia nodded: "Of course, if I really bring the original, what if it gets damaged?"
This time when she came to the northwest, Princess Lejia planned to conceive the content of a new storybook.
Before leaving, she thought about it and decided to take with her the two paintings that she had copied most closely.
You never know when it might come in handy.
As for the original, it is now safely kept in the Princess's Mansion.

After Doctor Fang's acupuncture, the stall owner's expression returned to normal, but Doctor Xu still took his pulse after he arrived.
Doctor Xu is the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau and the master of Doctor Fang.
The diagnosis he gave was naturally the most convincing.
"He should have taken Luohui as well, but the dosage was not high. His pulse is stable for now, so there is no major problem."
Falling brilliance? ?
Hearing what Doctor Xu said, Ning Yu and General Xie frowned at the same time.
Although they didn't know what Luohui was, Ning Yu and General Xie both guessed that it was some kind of medicine.
It seems that the stall owner's unusual behavior was indeed affected by drugs.
I just don't know if the same thing happens to other people.
Also, what exactly did Doctor Fang let the stall owner smell just now? ?
Ning Yu and General Xie saw it clearly at that time. Although the stall owner gradually calmed down after Doctor Fang gave him acupuncture, his eyes were still frighteningly red.
It was not until Doctor Fang asked him to smell the contents of the bottle that the bloodshot in the stall owner's eyes gradually faded and he stopped panting heavily.
Although they were full of questions, Ning Yu and General Xie both knew that outside was not the place to talk.
General Xie had the stall owner taken away for interrogation, and then he took Doctor Xu and his party to the place he had arranged for them to stay.
Imperial Physician Xu and several other imperial physicians sat opposite General Xie and Ning Yu and began to talk about their gains in Pingyu Town.
"At that time, we received the news sent by Lord Ning. After arriving in Pingyu Town, we went to find Wang Zhao as soon as possible. When we met Wang Zhao, he was already on his last legs..."
Wang Zhao was in his prime, but he was extremely weak and didn't even have the strength to walk.
Just as Ning Yu found out, Wang Zhao was indeed very ill, to the point where he could not be cured.
Ning Yu frowned: "Doctor Xu, don't you have any solution?"
What he found out at that time was that Wang Zhao was indeed terminally ill and several doctors were unable to help him.
But if folk doctors can’t cure the disease, is there nothing the imperial doctors can do?
If Wang Zhao was really hopeless, what had supported him to force his way into the post station?
It can't be a flash of life, right?
General Xie also thought of this question: "But when Wang Zhao broke into the post station, he didn't look like a patient at all. On the contrary, he had more strength than the average martial artist."
Doctor Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I was just about to say this. Wang Zhao, like that man just now, has taken Luohui."
General Xie and Ning Yu looked at Doctor Xu at the same time, their eyes full of surprise.
Why is it Luo Hui again? ?
What on earth is Luohui?
Could it be that those people made these abnormal behaviors because of this thing? ?
Ning Yu suddenly thought of the medicine bottle he had just put away, and he quickly took it out: "Doctor Xu, is Luo Hui in it?"
Doctor Xu took the medicine bottle from Ning Yu's hand, poured a pill into it, and brought it to his nose to smell it.
"Yes, this is Luohui. This medicine can be made into pills or powder. Here is the Luohui in pill form."
Ning Yu: "Is there any difference between pills and powder?"
Doctor Xu: "There is no difference in the efficacy of the medicine, only the way of taking it is different. Pills can be swallowed directly, but if it is a powder, you may need to inhale it or add it to water and swallow it."
General Xie couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Xu, what exactly is Luohui?"
Doctor Xu: "Luohui is a medicine that was banned from sale in the market during the reign of the previous emperor. If taken in small amounts, it can relieve certain pains and even have a suppressive effect on some stubborn diseases."
As he said this, he sighed.
"Daliang once highly praised this medicine and believed it was a miracle drug that could cure diseases and save lives."
Among the people present, only Doctor Xu had witnessed Luo Hui's terrifying power.
After a number of tragedies occurred that year, the late emperor ordered a ban on this medicine and had the matter covered up.
It was precisely because Doctor Xu knew the inside story that Emperor Jingning allowed him to come to the northwest with the young doctors this time.
Ning Yu and General Xie understood that there must be something wrong with the medicine.
Otherwise, how could it be banned?
Also, since Luo Hui had been banned during the reign of the previous emperor, why did he appear in Daliang now? ?
Still on the Northwest Frontier.
Is it someone trying to stir up trouble in Daliang, or is it another country interfering? ?
Doctor Xu took another sip of tea and moistened his throat. "Within a certain dosage, Luohui is a good medicine that can relieve pain and promote blood circulation. But if it exceeds a certain amount, it will put people in a state of excitement. It may even become addictive, and slowly make the body dependent on Luohui. If the person taking the medicine suddenly stops taking it, he will get sick."
Ning Yu asked: "What kind of actions will they take when they are sick?"
Doctor Xu put down his teacup and said, "When the patient who takes the medicine becomes ill, he will be unable to restrain himself and do some crazy things. People with weak physical conditions will also twitch and spasm all over their body."
General Xie lowered his eyes. The owner of the pancake stall was in the same situation.
He looked at Doctor Xu and said, "What if the patient continues to take the medicine and keeps taking Luohui?"
Doctor Xu: "Just now I said that within a certain dose, Luohui is a good medicine that can relieve pain and promote blood circulation. But if it exceeds a certain dose, it will be a fatal poison. It can also numb a person's sense of pain and make that person feel refreshed. It can even give some terminally ill people a new lease of life."
Doctor Xu paused for a moment and said, "If taken for a long time, the patient's emotions will become increasingly difficult to control. They will become irritable over trivial matters, or even go crazy at any time. And over time, the toxicity in the body will slowly accumulate. The patient's body will be hollowed out bit by bit, and finally die in extreme pain."
After taking it, seriously ill people can regain their vitality, and originally weak people will suddenly become strong, but it is just drinking poison to quench thirst.
Once they become dependent on this drug, their bodies will be slowly drained away without them realizing it.
In other words, once you overdose on this drug, it's basically a vicious cycle.
General Xie pondered for a while and said, "In other words, Wang Zhao was able to recover when there was no medicine to cure him, and it took three or four soldiers to subdue him when he broke into the post station. Is it all because of Luo Hui?"
Is this medicine really so magical that it can give a dying person extraordinary powers? ?
However, if Wang Zhaohe, like the owner of the pancake stall, had taken Luohui.
Why is there such a big difference in strength between the two?
When he subdued the stall owner just now, General Xie could easily pull him away with one hand.
But Wang Zhao was so strong at the time that it took several people to subdue him.
Is it because Wang Zhao took a larger dose?
Doctor Xu shook his head: "Not only that, he also took another medicine."
Ning Yu's eyebrows jumped. It was already troublesome enough for Luo Hui to listen to.
There is another medicine?? ! !
