Yun Qingluo softly said yes.
The group of guards' eyes shone even brighter. Could there really be such a miraculous medicine in the world?!
If they had this medicine, wouldn't they be immune to all poisons? Even if His Highness wanted to unify these ten continents, it wouldn't be impossible!
Just as they were still immersed in their beautiful fantasies, Yun Qingluo's next words ruthlessly shattered their illusions: "This medicine requires the extraction of tens of thousands of medicinal herbs. Even if all the herbs were placed in front of me now, I still wouldn't be able to extract it because the environment for refining the herbs is too harsh."
Hearing this, the guards were somewhat disappointed, but they still comforted themselves: "It's alright, being able to cure all poisons is already very impressive."
However, Yun Qingluo added insult to injury: "Besides, I don't even remember many of the medicinal herbs."
Upon hearing this, the guards were completely speechless.
However, that last sentence is, of course, false. The truth is that some of the medicinal materials cannot be found, and the environment for refining them is also difficult.
Although such an environment can be created within the system, it would take six months.
She and Xiao Yi had spent more than ten years working on this medicine.
This is why Yun Qingluo didn't provide this medicine during the disaster relief efforts in the southwest and during this flood, even when the people were dying from illness.
If other medicines can be used to treat the condition, then this antidote powder should be avoided as much as possible. After all, this medicine is too precious to be wasted easily.
"Is Luo Luo using this medicine now because she doesn't know what kind of poison the other party used?" Mo Beichen asked softly.
Yun Qingluo nodded and sighed mournfully, "Alas, it's just this little bit. Once it's used up, there won't be any left. Husband, tell me, is it worth it?"
Mo Beichen smiled, knowing that Yun Qing was putting on an act for these people, but he also knew that she was genuinely worried about the medicine powder. So he went along with her and said loudly, "It's worth it, isn't it? We've done Xuanming such a big favor. He certainly won't treat us unfairly afterward, otherwise wouldn't that make people feel disheartened?"
The group of guards were stunned, but dared not speak.
After all, the Shadow Lord had already told them about the identities of these two people on the way here, and they were not qualified to talk to them.
Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen sang in unison. Yun Qingluo glanced at them out of the corner of her eye, guessing that they had all taken it to heart, before she stopped.
"Sprinkle this powder into every well in the capital. Remember, every single one. Not a single drop can be missed. This is priceless. The amount has been precisely divided for each well. If even a drop is missing, it won't have the desired effect and could even kill someone," Yun Qingluo said slowly, but her hands moved swiftly. She found several sheets of oiled paper, spread the powder evenly, and carefully wrapped each portion.
She added a final remark, emphasizing the importance of always being cautious. Although Xuanming trusted her guards, she apologized, stating that she couldn't fully trust them yet. If someone secretly concealed some of the powder, resulting in insufficient dosage and affecting the antidote's effectiveness, it would be a matter of life and death.
"Also, spread the word in the city tomorrow that all the wells have been filled with a miraculous medicine that can cure all poisons. And one more thing, make sure to spread this message: as long as this antidote powder is added, no matter how many times it is poisoned later, the well water will not be affected." Yun Qingluo continued to instruct, her eyes serious and firm, as if telling the guards the importance of this matter.
"These two things must be handled properly." Yun Qingluo looked at the guard with some suspicion. After all, these were matters concerning the safety of the entire capital's population, and no one dared to take them lightly.
Some of the guards were injured, but it was nothing serious.
"May I ask, Madam, should we send someone to keep an eye on the well?" a guard stepped forward and asked respectfully.
Yun Qingluo was satisfied with his attitude, so she replied in a friendly manner, "Anything is fine."
All OK?
After bowing respectfully, the guard left with his men.
Either way is fine, but let's still send someone to keep an eye on things.
The following day at noon.
Yun Qingluo went out of the city as usual to help her master and junior uncle treat the sick.
She had already used up more than half of the medicinal herbs she brought. Shadow said he would figure out how to get the rest, and that Yun Qingluo could just give him a list of herbs.
Yun Qingluo couldn't be happier. Early in the morning, while eating the breakfast that Mo Beichen fed her, she kept organizing the list of medicinal herbs.
Just after lunch, I delivered the list to Shadow.
Looking at the ten densely packed sheets of paper in his hand, Yingzi wondered if the couple were deliberately trying to harm him. But since it concerned the lives of ordinary people, he could only grumble and quickly find someone to prepare the medicinal herbs.
Yun Qingluo arrived at the place where the girl who vomited blood yesterday was staying.
"Dr. Yun, you've arrived." The woman was leaning against the headboard, and an older woman was feeding her medicine.
"How are you feeling today? Is there any bleeding?" Yun Qingluo smiled and nodded. She was wearing a mask, so only her eyes and eyebrows could be seen, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
Having tricked Xuan Ming out of a bunch of medicinal herbs, she was naturally in a good mood. Xiao Yi saw through the girl's thoughts and added insult to injury in the system.
"No, thank you so much, Dr. Yun, for saving my life. I didn't have a chance to properly thank you yesterday." The woman said, and was about to get out of bed to kowtow to Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo quickly stopped her, "Don't move around. Your speedy recovery is the greatest gift you can give me in return."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely listen to Doctor Yun." The woman sat on the bed and promised Yun Qingluo with a face full of excitement.
To be honest, everything yesterday felt like a dream. When she was vomiting blood, including when the blood kept flowing from her wounds, she thought she was going to die.
Those miracle doctors all said the bleeding couldn't be stopped and that she was beyond saving.
