"cousin!"
Yan Xiwan pounced on them like a hungry tiger, but was stopped by the guards.
"Master, where did this crazy woman come from?"
The guards were disgusted.
Yan Xiwan had never been so embarrassed before. Tears streamed down her face. She looked at Chu Xuan pitifully: "Cousin, I just missed you so much that I followed you secretly. Who knew that when I left Yecheng, I was infected with this damn plague. Please save me, cousin..."
Before Chu Xuan could speak, Lu Yanluo spoke first: "You said you were infected with the plague?"
At the critical moment of life and death, Yan Xiwan ignored the hatred and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes! Those villagers infected with the plague are coughing and having difficulty breathing. It's the same for me. I must have been infected with the plague by those untouchables!"
Lu Yanluo frowned.
With the protective conditions in ancient times, if Yan Xiwan was really carrying the virus, this kind of large-scale plague should have spread long ago.
But the guards around Yan Xiwan pulled her several times, and the guards did not show any discomfort.
"Chu Xuan, you are right. We cannot just ignore the plague in Ye City."
Lu Yanluo squatted next to Yan Xiwan. Chu Xuan was so scared that he almost jumped up: "A Luo! She has the plague, what are you doing close to her?"
Yan Xiwan cried even more pitifully: "Cousin..."
My cousin didn't care about her illness at all and didn't care whether she lived or died.
Instead, she was concerned about whether Lu Yanluo would be infected if she got close to her!
She was so pissed off!
What that person said was indeed right. If Lu Yanluo wasn’t killed in Yecheng, my cousin would never belong to me!
She stared at Lu Yanluo fiercely——
The purpose of her coming here today was to help that person: to lure Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan to Yecheng.
Now it seems that the plan will soon succeed!
Before she had the chance to act pitiful, Lu Yanluo came over and rudely picked up her wrist to take her pulse.
After a while, Lu Yanluo's brows were furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
She stood up and walked to Chu Xuan's side, leaned close to Chu Xuan's ear, and whispered: "It's not a plague, it's poisoning."
Chu Xuan was dumbfounded: "You mean, the plague that spread throughout Yecheng was actually caused by poison?"
Lu Yanluo nodded.
Chu Xuan was shocked, but he also complained: "It's not as good as a plague. Since someone poisoned Yecheng and created such a panic, it means that the situation in Yecheng is even more chaotic than Yingcheng."
“That’s really frustrating…”
Having said that, Chu Xuan chose to set off for Yecheng without hesitation.
The two were in a hurry to get on the road and didn't notice the viciousness in Yan Xiwan's eyes!
After settling down in Yecheng, Lu Yanluo put on a mask and went to the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic to check on the patients. She was busy all day before returning to the post station.
Chu Xuan looked at her distressedly: "Thank you for your hard work, Princess."
Lu Yanluo rolled her eyes.
[Thank you for your hard work, I am not working for you, I am working to save people! ]
She said with disdain: "All the patients are poisoned. As far as I know, this is a poison caused by Xiaoyao grass. The symptoms of the poisoned are very similar to those of the plague, but the pulse is very different, and the truth will be revealed if the pulse is diagnosed."
Chu Xuan asked seriously, "Will it be fatal?"
"Won't."
Lu Yanluo shook her head. "Although it's not fatal, if there's no antidote, the poisoned person will have a fever and cough every day, and will die sooner or later."
After saying that, she quickly wrote out a prescription and handed it to Chu Xuan.
"Here is the formula for the antidote. Prepare it and distribute it to the people. The plague will be defeated on its own."
There was no problem with the antidote prescription, but Lu Yanluo was always feeling panicked.
I always feel that everything is a bit too simple.
[The person behind the scenes set up such a big plan and directly poisoned the people of the city. How could it be possible to break it so easily? ]
Chu Xuan listened with no expression, and said coldly: "Let's counter it as it happens."
However, he was like a crow's mouth. After nightfall, Shen He suddenly came to report: "Master, there is a medicine in the princess's prescription called Forget-Star Grass, but I have searched all the shops in the city today, and all the Forget-Star Grass is sold out. I didn't find any."
Hearing this, Lu Yanluo was shocked at first, and then sneered: "I was wondering why it was so smooth, it turns out there's a pitfall here."
Chu Xuan considerately put a cape on her and said softly, "It's windy at night, Luo, wear more."
Lu Yanluo glared at him and said, "Can you behave yourself? Now someone is maliciously buying up the most important medicinal ingredient in the antidote. It's not certain when the people of Yecheng can be saved. Do you still want to make trouble with me?"
"No."
Chu Xuan smiled meaningfully and tidied her cloak.
Then he said, "If the person behind the scenes just poisoned and did nothing afterwards, then there would be nothing we could do. But now, he has taken action to buy out the Forget Star Grass, which means he has taken action, so he will definitely reveal his flaws."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xuan's voice turned cold: "Go and investigate."
"yes."
Shen He took the order and left.
Lu Yanluo suddenly realized, yes, if the person behind the scenes did nothing, they would be helpless.
Instead, it was the person behind the scenes who made the buyout. This revealed a flaw, and sooner or later we will be able to find out who the person behind the scenes is.
"I didn't expect you to be so smart!" Lu Yanluo praised insincerely and rolled her eyes. "So when can we find out? The people's illness can't be delayed."
"possible……"
Chu Xuan was halfway through his words when a huge noise suddenly came from outside.
“That’s them!”
“They are right here!”
"Quickly catch that witch and set her on fire!"
“…”
Lu Yanluo suddenly stood up and opened the window, only to see a group of people dressed as villagers rushing into the inn holding torches.
Burn that witch to death?
Lu Yanluo had a bad feeling.
As expected, dozens of villagers headed straight for Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo's room, but were stopped outside by the guards.
Chu Xuan waved his hand and said calmly: "Let them come over. I want to see what they can do."
The guards stopped trying to stop them and the villagers rushed into the room.
Shouting: "Catch this witch!"
However, after seeing Chu Xuan standing with his hands behind his back, no one dared to move for a moment.
Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at them, and said coldly: "Who do you think is the witch?"
The leading villager was frightened by his temperament and swallowed his saliva in panic, but still pointed at Lu Yanluo and shouted: "It's her! It's this witch who brought the plague. Burn her to death and the plague will be cured!"
"Yes! Burn her to death!"
"Burn her to death!"
“…”
The voices of the villagers inside and outside the house rose one after another, as vast as the mountains and the sea. In less than a moment, they attracted many onlookers, and the place was filled with noise for a while.
Chu Xuan sat down calmly and looked them up and down.
"You say that the current princess is a witch. If you don't have evidence, it's a crime of disrespect and your entire clan will be executed."
Then, he sneered again, his laugh was icy: "I wonder if your master told you the consequences of killing all nine clans when he gave you instructions?"
