Chapter 103 General Qin is terminally ill
How could she invite the high priest of the enemy country and make him willingly treat her parents?
That’s a good question…
Either go to Northern Frontier and kidnap the high priest in the palace, or take his relatives and friends as hostages, or directly force the Emperor of Northern Frontier to hand over the high priest.
The key point is that neither of these two methods can be accomplished overnight. After Qin Mingzhu was reborn, she actually didn't rest for a single day and secretly arranged a lot of things.
She issued a bounty order in a very secretive underground killer organization, and arranged the heads of the princesses and princes of the Northern Frontier Kingdom's royal family in descending order of price according to their status.
After seeing the silver, countless desperate criminals wanted to make a fortune. Under the huge reward, the imperial capital of the Northern Frontier Kingdom has been obviously not peaceful recently.
It’s a pity that those who live on the edge of a knife are not all fools. There are very few people who are brave and capable enough to take such orders. Most of them are killers with no special skills who want to try their luck.
But this was enough. Qin Mingzhu never thought that this group of desperadoes who were wiped out a few years later could actually successfully assassinate a member of the royal family.
That would make the Northern Frontier Kingdom a huge joke.
Of course, she was not doing this in vain, but was trying to create chaos in the Northern Frontier Kingdom. Once the time came, she would bring the high priest over no matter what means.
Madam Qin personally went to ask Doctor Bai to treat General Qin.
Qin Mingzhu was not in a hurry either. She already knew that Doctor Bai was a liar and naturally would not be fooled. She just wanted to see his acting skills with her own eyes.
A moment later, an old man wearing a white robe and with gray hair, who looked like an immortal and very deceptive, walked out of the room.
After seeing Mrs. Qin, he bowed politely, and the scent of herbs emanated from his body.
"I have met the Madam."
Madam Qin smiled and said, "Please stand up, old sir. I have heard that Dr. Bai is a very skilled doctor. I would like to ask you to treat my husband."
The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "That's nothing. Since I've come here, of course it's to treat the general. But it's getting late, and my eyesight is blurry. How about I give the general a thorough examination tomorrow morning?"
Mrs. Qin nodded slightly.
"Come here, bring some good wine and food so the miracle doctor can have a good night's rest."
What the other party said was not without reason. It was tiring to travel thousands of miles to the capital, and it was not easy to come here in person.
What's more, it was the Qin family who invited them here. Don't just let them do things for you without even giving them a good meal.
Qin Mingzhu's eyes flickered.
She looked at the old man, and felt a little strange in her heart.
At first glance, this old man doesn't look like a liar at all. He speaks politely and behaves calmly, with the demeanor of a mountain master.
Sure enough, not everyone can be a con man. Since he was able to cheat the Qin family in his previous life, the other party was obviously very skilled.
The other party hasn't done anything yet. Qin Mingzhu secretly calculated the money needed for the other party's meal, kept it in mind, then arranged someone to keep an eye on him, and then returned to the room.
After eating and drinking his fill, Doctor Bai fell asleep and spent a very comfortable night in the general's mansion.
The next day, at dawn, after breakfast, Doctor Bai was finally invited to the main courtyard to treat General Qin's injuries.
He stood at the head of the bed, looked General Qin up and down, frowned, and looked very ugly.
When Mrs. Qin saw him like this, her heart sank.
She was not afraid of anything else except the doctor's low expression.
"Doctor Bai, the general..."
"The poison has penetrated into my bones, and I'm incurable. Oh my god, there's no hope..."
The old doctor Bai shook his head helplessly.
When Mrs. Qin saw the other person's appearance, her face turned pale and bloodless.
Seeing his wife's state, General Qin quickly said, "Madam, I know my health condition. It's nothing serious. I can live for a few more decades... cough cough cough..."
He wanted to pretend nothing happened, but his body was not doing well.
After losing his legs, his originally strong body became increasingly withered, as if all the vitality had been drained away.
Qin Mingzhu narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked, "Doctor Bai has no solution?"
Doctor Bai hesitated and said, "It's not that I don't have one. I have an ancient family method that can prolong life, but..."
Madam Qin was so worried that she asked anxiously, "Just what? Doctor Bai, just speak up."
Qin Mingzhu was stunned watching from the side.
I have to say that this Dr. Bai is really good at cheating people, especially in this situation.
When faced with a terminally ill loved one, everyone wants to grasp at any glimmer of hope. Doctor Bai's words are a life-saving straw for anyone.
If Qin Mingzhu didn't know that the other party was a liar, to be honest... she would definitely be fooled.
This is a complete conspiracy...
Doctor Bai said solemnly, "The herbs that can cure the general's condition are extremely rare and expensive. Over the years, I have only been able to produce this one bottle of rejuvenation pills. As long as the general takes them regularly, he will be cured within a month!"
As he spoke, he took out a very delicate small jade bottle from his arms.
Qin Mingzhu blinked and realized that only the bottle was valuable.
When Mrs. Qin heard what Doctor Bai said, she looked skeptical.
She was not stupid. So many doctors had failed to cure the general, but Doctor Bai was so confident. How could she possibly believe him?
"Is this medicine really so miraculous?"
"Of course, if Madam doesn't believe me, you can take out one of the pills and try it. If the General doesn't get any better, I will definitely not take a penny!"
Doctor Bai was still stroking his chin, which looked like an immortal, and speaking in a righteous manner.
Qin Mingzhu said, "Mother, medicine is three-quarters toxic. We haven't confirmed whether this medicine is toxic or not, so we can't take it carelessly. So, I'll have someone catch a few mice and test the poison first."
Madam Qin nodded slightly and said, "Come here, go catch some mice."
The servants in the mansion worked quickly and an iron cage containing two mice was sent into the room.
Qin Mingzhu opened the medicine bottle with her own hands, and then shook the bottle. There were about dozens of candy-bean-sized pills in it.
Qin Mingzhu poured out one of them, hid it in a piece of cake, and threw it into the cage.
The old doctor Bai standing by looked calm. He knew whether the pill was poisonous or not, and it was certainly not.
The mice in the cage quickly devoured the cakes and the pills hidden inside, quickly sharing out all the leftovers.
Everyone stood by and waited, quietly watching the mouse's reaction.
Divine Doctor Bai shook his head and sighed, "This is the Qin Residence. How dare I poison the General? If I lose one of these pills, there's one less. I can't make them again, and I'm afraid it will delay the General's recovery..."
He directly blamed the mistake on the insufficient dosage of the medicine.
Tell everyone that if General Qin did not fully recover, it was because one pill was missing.
But at this moment... the two mice in the cage twitched at the same time, rolled their eyes, and lay down with foam at the mouth...
