Xu Jinhuan nodded, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Do you have a formula that can make someone stay in a deep sleep?"
Xie Guangbai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then began to think seriously. After a while, he said, "Master, do you want something poisonous, or just something that causes a simple drowsy state?"
Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment. If Xu Youyou was simply unconscious, Heaven would not be able to find fault with her and could only suffer in silence, unable to punish her.
But if it's poisonous, Heaven is just looking for an opportunity to deal with her, and it's very likely that it will take the opportunity to severely punish her. Xu Jinhuan wouldn't dig a hole for herself.
"Just use a simple drowsy state, no need to use poison, but the drowsy state should last for a long time, preferably ten days to half a month, and after waking up and eating, it can fall back into a drowsy state."
Xu Jinhuan told Xie Guangbai what he needed.
After listening, Xie Guangbai nodded seriously, "No problem, the prescription I have can achieve this effect, but I don't know if there are many herbs on the mountain."
I'll wander around for a bit to see if I can gather any herbs. If we still need more, I'll need you to send someone out to buy them.
After listening to Xie Guangbai's words, Xu Jinhuan smiled casually and said, "You don't need to worry about the medicinal herbs. Although the village is not big, there are plenty of medicinal herbs."
"I've put everything away since I'm leaving. Just tell me what herbs you need, and I'll find them for you."
Xie Guangbai nodded and quickly wrote down the medicinal herbs he needed.
After Xu Jinhuan took the prescription and looked at it, he said to Xie Guangbai, "Go back to your room first, and I will have someone deliver the medicine to your room in a while."
Upon hearing this, Xie Guangbai immediately bowed respectfully. Just as he was about to leave, he remembered what had happened before he entered the house.
"Master, is the woman crying in the courtyard Xu Youyou, the talented woman from the capital?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan raised his head, glanced at Xie Guangbai, and wondered to himself, could this young imperial physician Xie also be a subject of Xu Youyou's affections?
As she thought this, she replied, "That's right, that's Xu Youyou, the talented woman who once became famous in the capital with her poem 'Prelude to Water Melody'. What, does Imperial Physician Xie also have a heart for chivalry?"
But in her heart she was thinking that if Xie Guangbai really took the plunge, she wouldn't mind losing a doctor and gaining a corpse in the village.
To everyone's surprise, Xie Guangbai waved his hands repeatedly, his face showing disgust and anger, "Even if Guangbai marries Wuyan, he doesn't want to have anything to do with this talented woman from the capital!"
After hearing what he said, Xu Jinhuan blinked her bright eyes. There was some gossip she didn't know!
"Quick, tell me about the gossip between you two... cough cough, it's between you two."
Xie Guangbai smiled helplessly, "Last year, my mother met Xu Youyou by chance at Xiangguo Temple. The two had a very pleasant conversation. Later, my mother's carriage broke down on the road, and Xu Youyou, who happened to be passing by, helped her out again."
Later, my mother would often run into her at the temple, and over time they became acquainted. My mother was very pleased with Xu Youyou and decided to arrange the marriage for me.
When Xie Guangbai spoke of his deceased mother, his eyes were filled with both longing and sorrow.
He composed himself and continued.
"Just as the two families had finished their conversation and exchanged their marriage compatibility certificates, and were about to set a wedding date, Xu Youyou's poem became famous throughout the capital, and she began to be seen with the Fifth Prince."
Those who are close to our family know that the Xie and Xu families are about to become related by marriage. Xu Youyou's actions are not only a slap in my face, but also a slap in the face to the Xie family.
Xie Guangbai's face turned bright red as he spoke. No one could remain indifferent to seeing their fiancée being intimate with another man.
Then, with a heavy expression, he said, "I even suspect that the reason our Xie family is in trouble is because of that fifth prince."
When Xu Wenzhong brought Xu Youyou to break off the engagement, my mother agreed, but she also said some unpleasant things to her.
Not long after that, my father was implicated in the incident, and the Xie family was also implicated. Later, when I became a royal physician, I secretly investigated, but unfortunately, all the leads went cold.
The more Xu Jinhuan listened to Xie Guangbai's words, the more familiar they sounded. After thinking for a while, she realized that this was the female lead's ex-husband who was her scapegoat.
If the plot unfolds as it should, after Xu Youyou becomes the Crown Prince's consort, she goes to see her ex-husband in order to help the Fifth Prince seize the throne.
After telling a bunch of lies, the simple-minded ex-husband actually believed that Xu Youyou had her reasons and actually made her a slow poison.
Who knew that after Xu Youyou obtained the poison, she forgot all about her ex-husband. When she thought of him again, it was only to find a scapegoat for the old emperor's death.
As for why no one doubted that the ex-husband would kill the old emperor, the deep-seated blood feud of hundreds of members of the Xie family has already provided the answer.
Thus, her ex-husband once again became a stepping stone for Xu Youyou and Lei Tingjun, and his death helped them reach the position that everyone admired.
Thinking of this, Xu Jinhuan glanced at Xie Guangbai again, thinking how unlucky the man really was.
From the beginning, Xu Youyou used him as a stepping stone. Otherwise, given the Xu family's status, it would have been difficult for Xu Youyou to attend banquets where even princes and princesses were present, let alone amaze everyone with a poem.
However, Xu Jinhuan believes that the plot mainly revolves around the male and female protagonists, and the characterization of other characters is not that deep.
In later episodes, Xie Guangbai's agreement to help Xu Youyou produce poison might be because he suspected they were planning to attack the old emperor.
After all, Xie Guangbai now suspects the Fifth Prince.
Seeing that Xu Jinhuan didn't speak, Xie Guangbai, who was standing to the side, scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, wondering if what he had said had disturbed his master.
He just didn't expect to run into Xu Youyou here, which is why...
Wait, wasn't Xu Youyou exiled? Then what about the people here?
Xie Guangbai suddenly looked at Xu Jinhuan, "Master, are you also an exiled person?"
Xu Jinhuan was surprised by Xie Guangbai's sudden question and asked in confusion, "Didn't Ma Wencai give you a proper introduction to us? Most of the people here have been sentenced to exile."
Xie Guangbai blinked blankly. He thought he had entered a mysterious organization and was about to show his skills when he realized that he had come to the Victims' Alliance.
So it turns out we were all persecuted by that dog emperor!
At this moment, Xie Guangbai felt an even deeper sense of belonging to this place.
Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you didn't know before, you know now, right? Besides, in a sense, we have a common enemy."
Not only the corrupt emperor, but also the fifth prince, and all those in the capital who abuse their power and do whatever they want.
Xie Guangbai nodded repeatedly. Ever since the Xie family, except for him, was wiped out, he had felt that Da Gan was truly rotten to the core.
Now, the Great Zhou and Great Jin are eyeing the Great Gan with covetous intent, and may provoke war at any time, while the people in the capital are thinking only of drinking, having fun, and amassing wealth.
How can a country like this protect its people?
