A rosewood box was opened.

A slender hand, with sleeves rolled up, reached into the box.

A red silk handkerchief was lifted up.

A black pill was revealed.

She picked it up gently with two fingers and took it out.

at this time.

In the room, besides Qin Ji lying on the sickbed, there were only Zhao Rong, Su Xiaoxiao, and Li Shida.

Li Shida's attention was completely attracted by the "Liuwei Dihuang Pill" in Su Xiaoxiao's hand.

It was round in shape, about half the size of a little finger, and was sealed with a layer of black wax. There was nothing magical about it on the surface, but after the box was opened, a fragrance filled the room, which was emitted by this elixir.

Li Shida took a closer look, sniffed the fragrance, and said anxiously:

"Mr. Lin, can this magical medicine from the fairy really save Qin Ji?"

Zhao Rong looked serious.

"Brother Li, please rest assured. This is Liuwei Dihuang Pills... Oh, you probably haven't heard of it. Anyway, all you need to know is that it is specially used to treat this disease."

Zhao Rong swore a solemn oath.

But for some reason, Li Shida felt uneasy in his heart and looked worried.

Zhao Rong saw this and frowned.

"Oh, since Brother Li still doesn't believe in my medical skills, forget it, Yuqing, let's go!"

After saying that, he prepared to leave with Su Xiaoxiao.

"Hey, Mr. Lin, please stay. What are you saying? I don't distrust the fairy lady. It's just that I am born suspicious. This bad habit is hard to change for the time being. Mr. Lin, Fairy Lady Lan, please forgive me!"

Li Shida hurriedly pulled Zhao Rong's sleeve to block their way.

Zhao Rong tilted his head and looked at Li Shida with a squint.

The latter sneered.

Zhao Rong looked at Li Shida's expression for a while, suddenly nodded, and turned around again.

"Alright. Yuqing, go and feed Mr. Qin the medicine. We have something else to do later so we need to leave early."

Zhao Rong immediately said to Li Shida:

"Oh, I forgot to tell Brother Li that my wife and I made an appointment with Emperor Wei a long time ago. We are going to the palace today. I asked Emperor Wei to help us find a spiritual object, and we agreed to give him an answer today."

"Brother Li, please don't worry. After Master Qin takes Liuwei Dihuang Pills, it will take about half a day for the effect to slowly take effect. My wife and I will be back soon, and we will wait with Brother Li then."

"Hehe, if Brother Li still has concerns, you can go with us."

Li Shida frowned when he heard this and wanted to say something, but was blocked by Zhao Rong's next words. He looked at Zhao Rong's expression, thought for a while, and nodded.

At this moment.

Su Xiaoxiao had already arrived at the bedside and reached out, ready to stuff the "Liuwei Dihuang Pills" directly into Qin Ji's mouth.

Seeing this, Li Shida quickly stepped forward and tried to lift up Qin Ji's upper body to make it easier for Su Xiaoxiao to feed him medicine.

However, he was suddenly stopped by Zhao Rong halfway.

Zhao Rong smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't bother. Leave it to my wife. She is a doctor and knows the best way to do it."

Li Shida stopped and nodded slightly, but his frown was still there. His eyes kept moving between Qin Ji who was lying on the bed and Su Xiaoxiao who was still not going to help the patient up and feed him medicine.

Just as the Liuwei Dihuang Pill, which was said to cure all diseases, was about to touch Qin Ji’s pale lips.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li!"

Suddenly there was a shout outside the attic.

"Prime Minister Qin sent back a flying sword for communication!"

Hearing Gao Yi's loud voice again made Zhao Rong frown suddenly, and Gao Yi's next words made Zhao Rong purse his lips.

Li Shida, who was listening attentively, turned around hurriedly and rushed to the bed as soon as the words outside the building fell.

"Please wait, Fairy!"

Su Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, and was then stopped by Li Shida who had come to the bedside.

At this time, a mighty man had walked in from outside the door.

It was Gao Yi, whom I met at the gate of the mansion not long ago.

Gao Yi quickly glanced at the distinguished guests invited by Mr. Li, then looked away, hurried forward, and handed a delicate and small pure white jade sword to Li Shida with both hands.

Gao Yi was breathing slightly.

"Mr. Li, this is for you."

Li Shida took the jade sword and closed his eyes to concentrate.

A clear, serious voice echoed in the lake of my heart.

"You all should guard Ji'er well and don't act rashly. I will be there soon!"

Li Shida was silent for a moment and slowly opened his eyes.

Then he glanced at the people in the room, as if he was thinking about something, and didn't say anything.

For a moment, the house fell into silence.

but.

The next second, Zhao Rong broke the silence and spoke with a chuckle.

"But Senior Qin is coming back?"

Li Shida neither nodded nor shook his head. He stared at Zhao Rong for a while, licked his lips, and suddenly said:

"Why don't Mr. Lin and Fairy Lan go and take a rest first? If there is anything important, you can go and deal with it first. As for this Liuwei Dihuang Pill... just leave it with me first. I will give it to Qin Ji later."

After saying that, Li Shida walked forward and took the elixir from Su Xiaoxiao's hand without saying anything.

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows and said indifferently:

"Okay, there's no rush anyway. We still have some time. My wife and I will stay in your house for a while and see if we can wait for Senior Qin to come back and say hello to Senior from the Academy."

Li Shida nodded and called a guard over.

"Take Mr. Lin and Fairy Lan to Tingyu Tower to rest. They are our distinguished guests of the Qin Mansion, so we must treat them well."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao followed the guards and left. But when they were about to leave, Zhao Rong seemed to remember something, turned around and spoke in a serious tone.

"By the way, Brother Li, the efficacy of Liuwei Dihuang Pills will slowly evaporate from the moment they are taken out of the oven. If you want to keep them for a long time, it is best to preserve them in a special way, such as... refrigerating them with ice."

Li Shida smiled and nodded.

Zhao Rong and the other man left.

When Gao Yi saw the outsider walking away, he immediately asked, "Mr. Li, what does Prime Minister Qin want to tell you?"

"The teacher will be back soon. Let's wait here and don't leave."

Li Shida retracted his gaze and said casually.

He lowered his head and looked carefully at the Liuwei Dihuang Pills in his hand.

A strange fragrance wafts into the air.

After gently squeezing it, I found that the surface of the pill was sealed with a layer of wax and was still slightly warm. I didn't know if it was because it had just come out of the oven that morning, or because the Blue Fairy had held it in her hand for too long and still had some body temperature left.

Li Shida narrowed his eyes.

According to the distance between Qingsui Sect and Wei Dynasty, the old fellow Qin Jianfu should not be able to come back in a short time, but I didn’t expect him to arrive today. I don’t know what happened or whether he got the elixir. Well, judging from the tone of the message in the flying sword just now, there should be a way.

However, I hope that his method of treatment will not work, so that this Liuwei Dihuang Pill that I got with great difficulty can come in handy.

Do not use this Liuwei Dihuang Pill unless it is absolutely necessary.

Anyway, Qin Jianfu will arrive today, so there is no need to take the risk.

When he comes back, if he can't cure Qin Ji, when the situation is at its worst, I will take it out to turn the tide and take a gamble. Anyway, the situation can't get any worse by then.

And if he cures Qin Ji, I can also take credit for it, and maybe I can keep the opportunity to go to Siqi Academy!

In this way, this is the safest and least risky method.

Li Shida thought to himself.

He came to his senses and handed the Liuwei Dihuang Pills to Gao Yi.

"Keep it safe. I'll send someone to the cellar to get ice to keep it refrigerated later."

Gao Yi nodded solemnly, took the Liuwei Dihuang Pills which were still emitting a slight heat, turned around and went outside to tell the servants to get ice.

Afterwards, the two of them stayed in the house without leaving.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

A black dot broke out from the sea of ​​clouds that stretched across the sky.

It broke into pieces the endless sea of ​​clouds.

Immediately thereafter.

The sound of wind and thunder came late.

Qin Jianfu is back.
