Looking at her extremely haggard appearance, Baili Yingfeng felt a mix of emotions.
"Well, the villagers of Peach Blossom Village have all been healed. I thought there might be wounded soldiers in the military camp, so I rushed back."
She originally wanted to say that she was worried about Baili Mingwen's safety and that she could only feel at ease if he returned to the military camp as soon as possible.
But considering that the inscription had been secretly taken out, it was better not to say anything, so he could only find another reason.
"Tell me about what's going on in the village. Why did all these villagers get sick?"
Miao Nanyan recounted what happened in the village, but deliberately omitted the fact that Baili Mingwen had gone there with her.
Anyway, the soldiers should all be busy and haven't seen the Baili inscription, so they won't let this slip.
"I see." Baili Yingfeng nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work this time."
"It is my duty to share the king's burdens."
"Come, take my pulse."
"Yes." Miao Nanyan sat down next to him and placed her hand on his pulse.
"His Majesty's pulse is very strong, and he seems to have no symptoms."
Miao Nanyan didn't understand why Baili Yingfeng suddenly asked her to take his pulse. She then noticed that his outer garment at the chest and waist seemed to be slightly red. "Your Majesty, are you injured again?"
Miao Nanyan gently lifted his collar and looked at his chest. There was a fresh wound that had been wrapped in gauze, and an old wound as well.
"The wound is healing very well and has already scabbed over."
"Does Your Majesty feel unwell anywhere?" Miao Nanyan couldn't see any other illness in Baili Yingfeng.
"Sometimes I feel my heart racing, my chest tightness, and my face burning."
Baili Yingfeng hesitated before describing his symptoms.
Especially when Miao Nanyan is around, he can't help but want to stare at her.
"My face is burning up, could it be that I've caught a cold?"
"With the changing seasons, springtime is unpredictable, and it's easy to catch a cold."
Miao Nanyan stretched out the back of her hand to feel the temperature of Baili Yingfeng's forehead.
Baili Yingfeng suddenly dodged, and Miao Nanyan was taken aback: "Your Majesty, let me check the temperature of your forehead."
Baili Yingfeng coughed but didn't move. Miao Nanyan approached him, and he smelled her pleasant, faint herbal scent. He felt a little uncomfortable and his body stiffened.
Miao Nanyan placed the back of her hand on his forehead: "Hmm, not hot, he probably doesn't have a fever."
"Your Majesty, perhaps it's because of the recent rains that the weather is a bit muggy. Here's some camphor for you. You can take it out and smell it when you feel chest tightness."
Miao Nanyan took out a small white porcelain bottle painted with blue irises from her sleeve and handed it to Baili Yingfeng.
"I often use this camphor incense, but recently the military camp has run out of it."
He opened the lid of the small porcelain bottle, took a sniff, and immediately felt refreshed.
...
Just then, a guard came in and said that a man claiming to be from Peach Blossom Village was waiting at the entrance of the military camp, saying he wanted to see Baili Yingfeng.
"Chen Yuan, go out and take a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chen Yuan walked outside the tent and listened to the message delivered by the people sent by Village Chief Bai.
"Your Majesty, Village Chief Bai said that the person who poisoned the person has been caught. After being severely tortured, he was not kept in check and bit his tongue, thus committing suicide."
Miao Nanyan and Baili Yingfeng said that when they went to treat the villagers' diarrhea, they stayed in the courtyard of Village Chief Bai.
"Oh, has the trail gone cold?" Miao Nanyan asked with a look of regret.
"It's not like the trail has gone cold. Judging from the tattoos on the person who poisoned him, he's one of the Right Wise King's men," Chen Yuan said.
"Alright, you can go now."
"Tell Village Chief Bai to be more vigilant in the future."
"If you find villagers who are not locals or unfamiliar faces, you must question them."
"Yes, I understand."
After that person left, Baili Yingfeng's gaze drifted into the distance.
“Right Wise King,” Baili Yingfeng said coldly, displeased.
"This old bastard, in order to achieve his own goals, did not hesitate to poison the lives of the entire village."
"Dr. Miao, what's your opinion on the illnesses of the villagers in Peach Blossom Village?"
Baili Yingfeng looked at Miao Nanyan, who was wearing a dark green military uniform. [She seems to have lost a lot of weight. Has she been overworked these past few days?]
"The illness came on suddenly. When I left, Village Chief Bai had already caught the person who poisoned me."
What's your opinion on the person who poisoned the victim?
What does she think?
Miao Nanyan was a little confused.
He was a military doctor in the barracks, not his strategist.
Why ask her these questions?
Besides, haven't you already guessed that it was the Right Wise King who did it?
"Dr. Miao, do you think they have any ulterior motives?"
Seeing that Miao Nanyan did not reply, Baili Yingfeng continued to ask.
Purpose?
"Diarrhea is not a serious illness, but if the dose of poison powder is large, it will gradually weaken a person. If the source of the disease cannot be found and the person continues to drink the poisoned water, it will be difficult to save their life."
"The most serious consequence was that everyone in Peach Blossom Village died from diarrhea."
"Yes, continue."
"I guess they're after the military camp," Miao Nanyan guessed, stroking her chin.
"Oh?" Baili Yingfeng looked at her with interest.
"The disease itself is not contagious, but it recurs frequently. If excrement is not disposed of in a timely manner, patients will inevitably develop new diseases when they come into contact with each other."
"The villagers of Peach Blossom Village are very poor and have no money to see a doctor. They will definitely seek help from the army camp. Once the army camp arrives, they will bring their diseases to the army camp."
"Go on."
