Chapter 28 Fighting poison with poison
The person behind it is very ruthless and knows how to plan people's hearts. He is a master.

Chu Qinglan frowned. At first, she thought it was just Concubine Shu who wanted to seek personal revenge, but now it seems that there is a bigger hand behind the scenes manipulating everything.

She shook her head, not thinking about these intrigues for now, and focused on the epidemic in front of her.

Chu Qinglan carefully inspected the bodies of those two people, and judged that their blood polluted the water source, causing the villages up and down the river to be more or less affected.

Once this kind of plague takes effect on people, it will spread at an extremely fast speed, and it is not surprising that such a large consequence will be caused within three days.

Chu Qinglan put on her clothes and walked out the door with Mo Beiyu. While discussing, the refugee next to him poked out his eyes for help from the gap in the fence: "My lord, my lord, can we help?"

His eager and longing cries infected those around him.

Those patients all grabbed the railing and shook vigorously: "I can't die, there are still people waiting for me in my family."

"My lord, help me!"

"My lord, I have a few acres of fertile land in my house, you take them all. Help me."

These people are considered to be the better performers among the patients. However, they have seen many people die silently in their own villages, and they are terrified of panic.

Seeing that Mo Beiyu and Chu Qinglan were dressed in luxurious clothes, they thought they were some important figures sent by, and kept asking for help.

Hearing this voice was heartbreaking, Chu Qinglan closed her eyes, unable to bear to look.

However, the words kept coming to the ears along the voice.

At this moment, Mo Beiyu held Chu Qinglan's hand personally: "Don't worry, I will order the county magistrate here to take care of it."

These words did not have no effect on Mo Beiyu, his face turned pale, presumably because the root cause of his illness had not been cleared, and he was dealing with political affairs overnight.

The strength from that hand slowly soothed Chu Qinglan's restless and angry heart. She sighed softly and turned to the patients: "Please rest assured, the government is already researching and developing a new drug, which will definitely relieve the disease on everyone."

Although most people knew that these words were meaningless, at least they felt a little comforted in their hearts, so they didn't make any noise, and went back to their beds to stay.

There are many herbs planted in Chu Qinglan's yard, and there are also many ancient medical techniques piled up in the study.

It was the first time for Mo Beiyu to come to this bookstore, and he couldn't help being a little surprised. He had heard Chu Qinglan mention that he knew a little bit about medicine, but he didn't expect that she had accumulated so much.

At this time, Chu Qinglan's attention was all on the prescription to relieve the epidemic.

She had read from an ancient book before that the best way to deal with this kind of difficult-to-treat disease is to fight poison with fire.

It's just that although this method is good, it is also risky enough, so Chu Qinglan hesitated.

"Nyxy? Is she crazy?"

Concubine Shu was still in the palace, but she was still able to see and see. Qingsui took her to a small table beside her and sat down, and said: "This morning, Princess Chang suggested to His Majesty to try this prescription first. The slaves went to investigate and found It was actually mixed with some poisons."

There was a strange light in Qingsui's eyes, in their view, Chu Qinglan's trip was tantamount to giving up on herself.

Concubine Shu frowned, and leaned leisurely on the recliner: "It seems that they are also at the end of their rope."

She narrowed her eyes, and ordered: "Immediately tell the imperial medical office and let them publicize the formula of this medicine. I don't believe it. Knowing what I'm drinking, there are still people who dare to drink it."

The emperor did not agree to use this prescription immediately in the court hall. He had a headache in the imperial study, but suddenly heard the news hurriedly reported by several courtiers.

"Your Majesty, it's absolutely impossible. People in the city know the Eldest Princess's prescription, and now they are making a fuss, insisting that the imperial court wants to kill them to silence them."

Obviously, these people had just received the news, so they ran over without even having time to change their court clothes.

The emperor's eyes are obscure, and there is no room for any discrepancy in national affairs. Now that the people's reaction is so fierce, what should we do?

After taking out the first prescription, Chu Qinglan immediately rushed to the west bank.

Some of the people on the West River Bank had already heard about the prescription, and they were furious at Chu Qinglan: "Look at these officials, they said they wanted to save us yesterday, but today they want to poison us."

A pair of medicine that Chu Qinglan had boiled was thrown to the ground. The leader's face was flushed, but his lips were pale. It was obvious that the epidemic was about to break out.

He waved his arms excitedly and shouted loudly: "Take your medicine and get out! I am a pariah, but I will die myself."

Someone took the lead, and the others also threw what they had at Chu Qinglan one after another.

The child's crying was faintly visible in the crowd, and everyone loudly told about their suffering, most of which were aimed at Chu Qinglan.

Chu Qinglan originally wanted to test the efficacy of the medicine on the West River Bank, but she didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.It's hard to say that no one is secretly playing tricks on purpose.

She was escorted by several yamen servants to another tent. The people here were obviously much calmer, and it seemed that the news had not yet spread.

Chu Qinglan took a deep breath, she didn't intend to lie, she walked to the side of the young man's bed and asked, "I'm a doctor from the capital, and now I have a prescription..."

She took the trouble to explain to this young man with a vague consciousness, and the people next to her were gradually brought in by her deep and soft voice.

In the end, through Chu Qinglan's persuasion, ten people were willing to try the medicine themselves.

Chu Qinglan stayed in the tent on the bank of the West River for a whole night, and returned to the Princess Mansion the next day with bloodshot eyes.

In the court hall, when the Eldest Princess took out the prescription for the first time, although everyone had doubts, they were still calm.

But the second time the prescription was mentioned again, it was like a drop of water dripping into the hot oil.

The opposition in the court almost broke through the sky.

Only Mo Beiyu stood in the center like Mount Tai.

Chu Qinglan had previously told Mo Beiyu why she prescribed the medicine in this way.

In fact, although she knew about this poison through Mo Beiyu's illness, she still didn't dare to confirm whether her medicine would be successful, and originally only planned to try it on a small scale.

Yesterday in the courtroom, I mentioned that I also wanted people from the Tai Hospital to help, but I didn't expect the people behind the scenes to do it so quickly.

"Your Majesty must not."

The emperor's eyes slowly shifted to Mo Beiyu, seeing his calm expression, the anxiety that was pressing down in his heart was gradually calmed down for some reason.

"Your Majesty, I invite the eldest princess to go to the palace."

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Yes."

However, Chu Qinglan hadn't even made it to the court hall when the news that the condition of the ten drug testers on the West River Bank had improved had reached the main hall.

The opposition from the officials suddenly became much smaller, but there were still people who questioned that Chu Qinglan's use of poison to treat the plague was the foundation of shaking the Qing Kingdom.

After all, the villages on the west bank are about to riot now, all because of Chu Qinglan's prescription!
