Chapter 375
"How could this be?"

When Jiang Wu hurried to the government office, she found that Zichai had been burned to ashes, with no bones left, and not even a trace of dregs could be found.

Such a scene made Jiang Wu feel a strong sense of guilt.

"Master Xu, how could you let her become like this?"

"My subordinates are also very sorry, but this is the emperor's will."

Master Xu looked like he was about to cry without tears. Jiang Wu couldn't help but wonder who leaked the news!
But it shouldn't be, this matter is obviously directed at me.

Jiang Wu had a vague premonition in her heart, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"County Lord, let's go back to the mansion."

Cuizhu and Yuerong spoke carefully, while Jiang Wu looked grief-stricken.

"The Imperial Physician Song? Go and call the Imperial Physician Song!"

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Wu waited for a long time, but there was no sign of Imperial Physician Song. Another maid told Jiang Wu that Imperial Physician Song had been unwell these past few days, so she could not come.

After Jiang Wu heard this, she just thought it was ridiculous. When this matter spread to the palace, the Song Dynasty doctor should also be involved.

"Damn it, it must be the Song Imperial Physician who leaked the news."

Seeing Jiang Wu being so angry, Grandma Yunhua lowered her eyes with guilt.

"County Master, this can't be entirely blamed on the imperial doctor. I still remember that seven years ago, a smallpox broke out in the palace, so everyone has always been worried about smallpox. The only way is to burn the source of the disease, which is only one death away. It can’t be spread.”

Aunt Yunhua's words made Jiang Wu feel sad in her heart.

"But this is not a case of medicine and stone without cure!"

Jiang Wu's pupils suddenly shrank. Do all people infected with smallpox have to be burned into a pool of blood like Zichai, and then die from the smallpox poison?

Jiang Wu couldn't help but shudder. She didn't want to see this scene, no!

Jiang Wu's abnormal behavior shocked both Grandma Yunhua and Cuizhu.

"County Lord, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, Sister Yunhua. What you mean is that there was this disease in the palace seven years ago. How did it disappear later?"

"This" Grandma Yunhua hesitated.

"Is it the same as the smallpox seven years ago?"

Jiang Wu couldn't help but think of what happened seven years ago.

"Back to the county master, it's the same as it was seven years ago, so no one dares to come into contact with this plague." Grandma Yunhua answered truthfully.

Jiang Wu couldn't help but frown. Who caused the smallpox seven years ago?

"County Master, why are you looking so pale? How about my servant help you go back to your room to rest."

Cuizhu asked with concern.

"Okay, I'm tired too. Please help me to the room."

Jiang Wu's face became increasingly ugly, not only that, but also accompanied by a hint of pain.

Seeing Jiang Wu leave, Cuizhu and Grandma Yunhua looked at each other.

"Sister Cuizhu, what's wrong with the county master?"

Sister Yunhua shook her head.

"My servant doesn't know, but it looks like the county master is seriously ill. Let's help her back to her room quickly."

After returning to the room, Cuizhu took out a prescription and said, "County Master, your pulse is very strange. I guess you may have been poisoned by some kind of poison."

"Oh?"

Jiang Wu narrowed her eyes slightly, a flash of shock flashing through her heart.

"What kind of poison?"

"This slave is not sure, but I see that your situation is very unstable. If you continue like this, something may go wrong." Cuizhu said worriedly.

"Well" Jiang Wu pondered for a moment, "In that case, go and call Yin Bai."

"Yes, County Master, don't worry, I'll go and invite him right away." Cuizhu hurriedly retreated.

Yin Bai heard that Jiang Wu was unwell and rushed there in a hurry.

And Yin Bai's shadow was also discovered by Du Juan.He immediately turned around and told Wang Miaoyan about the incident.

"This Jiang Wu must have contracted smallpox because she is so showy. Send someone to keep an eye on her and tell me immediately if there is anything strange!"

Wang Miaoyan vowed that this was a good time to add insult to injury, and she would not let it go in vain.

"Yes!"

When the scene changed, Yin Bai was feeling Jiang Wu's pulse and tested her blood. He found that it was not smallpox, but a special toxin.

This kind of toxin is trapped in Jiang Wu's body and requires some rare medicinal materials to slowly dissolve it.

"Yin Bai, what disease does our county chief have?" Cuizhu was worried.

Jiang Wu's face became increasingly ugly, and they were all worried to death.

"This is a rare poison called 'Wangchuan Powder'. It needs to be brewed with various precious herbs. You must drink a bowl of medicine every half an hour. Otherwise, the poison will come from the ginger." Wu's body penetrated into her internal organs, causing the poison to attack her heart and kill her."

Yin Bai's words shocked everyone.

"So serious? What should we do, Yin Bai, help us quickly, please, help our county master." Cuizhu cried sadly, tears falling down.

"Don't cry, don't you want me to save her?"

"Ok!"

Cuizhu nodded repeatedly, "If you have any conditions, just say it. As long as I can do it, I won't hesitate!"

Yin Bai looked at everyone with satisfaction.

"Very well, you all go out first."

Cuizhu didn't know why, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to retreat as ordered.

"Yin Bai, stop scaring Cuizhu, just tell me if it's smallpox?"

Jiang Wu knew full well that Yin Bai said this deliberately to protect Jiang Wu.

With other illnesses, there may be a glimmer of hope.

If you were really infected with smallpox, you would definitely die. The Queen Mother had always kept silent about the disease. If you were infected with smallpox, you would be burned to death regardless of whether you were diagnosed or not.

"Don't worry, the prescription you prescribed to me before is indeed effective, but there is no airtight wall in this world. Please don't go out and walk around during this period!"

Yin Bai exhorted.

"Ok!"

Jiang Wu nodded.

Although this matter did not reach the final result, Jiang Wu's knowledge of the smallpox incident was a wake-up call, and she must act cautiously in the future.

"County Master, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"

Cuizhu came forward to serve her, with concern written all over her face.

"Cui Zhu, don't get so close to me in the future. Just put the food and drinks on the table. And don't tell His Highness what happened to me!"

Jiang Wu's words made Cuizhu suspicious.

"County Lord! Could it be you..."

Everyone has seen Zichai's fate. If the matter is already a certainty, then there is only one consequence.

"Is that why Yin Bai said that?"

Cuizhu suddenly realized that it was all to protect Jiang Wu.

"Well, Cuizhu, Dujuan will definitely find ways to talk to you, so you have to find a way to deal with it!"

"clear."

Cuizhu didn't dare to slack off at all and left in a hurry. As expected, she met the sneaky Du Juan.
