Chapter 352 Xiang Mingzhu, You Lost

Just see.

A young and thin figure covered his mouth and coughed while pushing Li Songwen away.

Li Songwen's head hit the cabinet and he was a little confused for a moment.

When he saw the man in front of him clearly, he became angry and said, "Shen Xuanzhi, what are you doing?"

Shen Xuanzhi ignored his anger, put a portion of galangal and a portion of poria in Qiao Xi's hands and said, "I saw the herbs you tried to take just now, and guessed that you drew the galangal soup, which is galangal and poria."

Qiao Xi looked at him in surprise.

Li Songwen's face turned pale: "Shen Xuanzhi, this is a competition! You are cheating for her!"

Shen Xuanzhi's cold and world-weary face did not waver as he said, "You are causing trouble for her, but aren't you cheating Xiang Mingzhu? You can exploit loopholes in the rules, but we can't? Is the Chinese Medicine Association owned by your family?"

"you……"

Li Songwen was left speechless and immediately wanted to report this behavior to the examiner.

But the examiner squinted his eyes and leaned back in his rocking chair, very calm: "Any behavior not prohibited by the rules is allowed. As colleagues, we should help each other. This was Mr. Zhong's intention when he supervised the needle testing conference in his early years. It's a pity that it took so many years for someone to understand this truth."

Li Songwen's expression became even uglier: "Then why don't you just say it?"

The examiner said coldly: "We didn't expect that someone would make it so difficult for us. The rules have loopholes, but there are ways to break them. Do you really think that we old guys are vegetarians?"

Li Songwen's face turned pale from the ridicule, and he could only grit his teeth and look at Qiao Xi resentfully.

Qiao Xi was not shy and took the herbs from Shen Xuanzhi and said, "Thank you."

Shen Xuan had heard that there were conflicts between the Shen family and the Lu family in the imperial capital, and he knew that this move was probably aimed at Xiang Mingzhu.

"It's a piece of cake."

Shen Xuanzhi walked out of the Chinese medicine cabinet slowly, carrying a few medicine bags.

He had already prepared the medicine.

Qiao Xi quickly withdrew her gaze from him and took another dose of licorice according to the prescription. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she thought for a moment and took another dose of angelica.

When she finished everything, she handed the brown paper seal and medicinal materials to the examiner.

The timer is reset to zero.

The game is over.

The big screen shows that the points are being settled.

Many people held their breath.

"Did this Chinese medicine apprentice complete the competition?"

"Is her prescription correct? Why is it being settled and not updated?"

"I think it's a bit suspenseful. Who knows who will come out at the right time? Maybe they just picked up the herbs without collecting them all. In fact, Xiang Mingzhu is more reliable."

Most of them came for the bet and wanted to see the excitement of the Chinese Medicine Festival. Therefore, they were very concerned about Qiao Xi's points.

When Qiao Xi sat in the rest area, Xiang Mingzhu was staring at her eagerly.

"Qiao Xi, there is an extra herb in the herbs you took. There are 10 herbs in the Longdan Decoction, but I saw that you took 11. Did you remember the recipe wrong?"

Xiang Mingzhu smiled deeply, "How could you make a mistake with such a simple soup recipe?"

She was originally angry at Shen Xuanzhi for helping Qiao Xi, but now it seems that some people are hopeless.

"Ms. Xiang, this must be her first time seeing such a big scene. She is so nervous."

"Haha, how come there are 11 herbs in Longdan Soup?"

He motioned to Mingzhu to keep quiet and said to Qiao Xi, "Miss Qiao, don't forget our bet. We originally agreed to recognize it in public, and I think today is a good opportunity."

She didn't want to owe Qiao Xi the debt.

Qiao Xi looked at Xiang Mingzhu and the others, and said in a cold voice: "The second round of competition is about prescribing the right medicine for the right disease, not just memorizing the prescription. If I lose, I will admit defeat..."

She stretched out her slender white finger, pointed at the platform in the middle of the Chinese Medicine Hall and said, "If I lose, I will stand there and fulfill my bet in public."

Xiang Mingzhu curled her lips and said, "Okay, me too."

Han Jia, who was sitting next to him, seemed to have thought of something.

Under what circumstances would Angelica dahurica be added to Longdan Decoction? It is also used to treat children's symptoms. I have read this prescription.

The answer is obvious!

Xiang Mingzhu claims to be familiar with various prescriptions. Hasn't she learned to apply them?

He stared blankly at Qiao Xi's delicate and cold face.

At this time.

The points table is updated on the big screen!

Everyone looked at the name at the top, and many of them opened their mouths wide and were unable to speak for a long time.

"This……"

Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes, and the familiar name was reflected in her eyes.

She stood up, looked at Xiang Mingzhu, and said, "You lose."

Xiang Mingzhu was surprised.

Her mind went blank, and she was almost overwhelmed by the shock. Then she said in a sharp voice: "This is impossible! How could her dragon gall soup win when it has 11 herbs? I strongly demand that Qiao Xi's contest questions be made public!"

Tang Chengde, the honorary president of the Haicheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, has a close relationship with Qiao Xi, so he might be helping her on purpose!

Xiang Mingzhu was furious. She had clearly instructed Ma Hongwen to trick Qiao Xi into getting the most difficult test questions, but why was it only a dragon's gall soup? She should have been given a soup with at least 20 herbs!

Could it be that Ma Hongwen is also helping Qiao Xi?

Xiang Mingzhu's mind was full of mixed feelings. She felt that many people had betrayed her!

It was clearly a foolproof situation, so how come she ended up losing?

How could she lose!

Things are already getting out of hand!

"Miss Xiang is right!"

“We want to see it too!”

"Reveal Qiao Xi's test questions!"

The forum bet aroused dissatisfaction among many people, and Xiang Mingzhu's fans did not expect such an outcome. They always felt that there was something fishy going on, and perhaps the Huo family had used some extraordinary connections.

But insiders know that no matter what the relationship is, they can't handle those old antiques of the Chinese Medicine Association.

But it cannot resist the speculation of outsiders.

Sun Shao complained: "So if Qiao Xi wins, there's something wrong, but if the pig wins, it's natural? These people are unreasonable."

Shu Xue said coldly: "Who asked them to be related to the Lu family? I believe Qiao Xi must have her own considerations. Don't tell me, I love watching this kind of face-slapping drama, it makes their faces swollen!"

Doesn’t Qiao Xi know that Longdan Soup contains 10 main medicinal ingredients?

When she was helping Qiao Xi at Haicheng Hospital, she saw her seeing many pediatric patients and prescribing Longdan Decoction.

The Liu family was worried.

Old Lady Liu said softly, "I asked a few old friends to act as a bridge, hoping that these old gentlemen could make fair and objective judgments. But I didn't bribe them to cheat for Qiao Xi. I don't understand this Chinese medicine soup either. What's going on?"

Xu Yunye's expression was indifferent: "It's obvious from what I saw. She can't possibly cheat."

…

The crowds are noisy and the people are full of aspirations.

Several older examiners decided to teach them a lesson, so they agreed to make Qiao Xi's test paper public. Then Tang Chengde walked up to them with Qiao Xi's prescription.

He passed the test paper that Qiao Xi had picked out to them and recorded it with a high-definition camera.

"Yes, Longdan decoction should be used for children with epilepsy. For children aged three or four, the dosage should be increased. But why add angelica root?"

"Fever, vomiting, wheezing, and abdominal pain. Wheezing and abdominal pain... I remember there was a record of this in Qianjin Fang! This seems to be... I understand!"

“I think I understand too!”
