The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 171: Collective Sickness
Bai Qianxi had just come out from Cheng Shaozhi's place when she saw Bai Wangqi hurrying over.

"What happened? Tell me in detail."

Bai Qianxi asked Bai Wangqi to lead the way, and the two of them soon arrived at another room.

"These are the people who got sick this time. I have asked them to gather here."

"You did a good job." Regardless of whether this is a new plague or not, it is always right to take good precautions in the current situation.

"Miss Bai, you are finally here. Please help us find out what happened to us?" Someone couldn't help crying.

While saying this, he also grabbed Rao's face and body with his hands.

Bai Qianxi could see with her own eyes that the people present had all swollen like pig heads, with red bumps on their faces and blood all over them. It was so eye-catching that people were almost suffering from claustrophobia.

"Just bear with it for now, don't scratch it yet, I have some anti-itch medicine here."

Seeing these people's uncontrollable movements, Bai Qianxi quickly spoke in a stern voice.

We still don’t know how these red bumps are formed. If you scratch them, it would be very serious if they get infected.

"Give us medicine quickly. We know we can't catch them, but we really can't stand it."

I just felt like there were countless ants crawling all over my body, scratching my heart and lungs, and I was hot and dry all over.

"Eat it first, one per person." Bai Qianxi took out the porcelain bottle she carried with her. Fortunately, there were not many people at the moment, only seven or eight.

Otherwise, the medicine she had on her would not be enough.

"How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?" After these people took the medicine, Bai Qianxi observed their reactions.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that they were finally not as miserable as before.

"Miss Bai, you are truly a miracle doctor!"

"After we took one of your pills, we immediately felt the itchiness all over our bodies was gone. Miss Bai, do you still have this medicine? Can you give us a few more?"

"These are all the medicines." These anti-itching medicines were the last ones she had on hand. "Now that you are not feeling so bad, can you tell me first, how did you become like this?"

"We don't know either. When we first woke up, we felt itchy all over, and then red rashes started to appear on our face and body." Several people spoke with confused looks on their faces.

"Girl, can you tell what's going on with us? Is this another time of..."

"Let me take a look first."

Bai Qianxi randomly picked someone, grabbed his wrist, and suddenly, frowned slightly.

Everyone's heart couldn't help but be lifted.

Letting go of the man's wrist, Bai Qianxi didn't say anything. She just randomly found another person and pinched his wrist again.

Then comes the third person.

"Girl..." Everyone became even more nervous.

"From the current results, your situation is the same. As to whether this situation is contagious, it is still uncertain and needs further observation."

"This……"

"You don't have to worry. Judging from your pulse, the possibility of your condition being contagious is extremely low. But why did you all get this disease?"

"Do you know each other? Do you have any contact with each other?"

"We know each other. Miss Bai, you may have forgotten that we went to Lin County together." Someone spoke, trying to get closer to Bai Qianxi.

"Have you been to Lin County? Have you all been there?" Bai Qianxi looked at everyone carefully and found that they all looked familiar.

When we first came in, we didn't notice it because these people had rashes all over their faces.

After getting another affirmative answer, Bai Qianxi fell into deep thought, "Have you eaten the same thing alone recently? Or gone somewhere together?"

"No, we may have only had the tea that Miss Liu brought and the meals in the kitchen every day. We have never eaten anything else together."

“We did things… Although we went to Lin County together, we did things separately.”

"This is a bit strange..." Bai Qianxi pondered. Bai Qianxi couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she simply stopped thinking about it for the time being.

"Girl, what about our current physical condition..." Seeing that Bai Qianxi didn't speak for a long time, one of them couldn't help but speak tentatively.

"Don't worry, your current health condition isn't a big problem. I'll go back and get some medicine, and you can just take it when the time comes."

"That's good." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"But please think about how you contracted this disease."

"Yes."

Leaving the courtyard. Bai Qianxi thought for a moment, then ordered Bai Wangqi to send someone to inform Ye Beiling of the matter.

"Also, send someone to Lin County to ask if there is anyone in the same situation as them." At this critical moment, nothing can be sloppy.

Bai Wangqi nodded in agreement, his expression serious.

After she left, Bai Qianxi rubbed his forehead tiredly, and after a while he stood up and started to prepare the medicine.

No matter how these people got sick, the most important thing now is to cure them.

By the time Bai Wangqi had finished his work, it was already dark outside.

"Master, you should take a rest." Bai Wangqi watched all this and said reluctantly, "I have sent people to Lin County to ask. They checked and found nothing like this."

"I understand." Bai Qianxi looked at her worried eyes, put the last pill into the porcelain bottle, and nodded.

"I'll rest after I finish the last bit. You should go to sleep first. I think you'll be busy tomorrow."

Fortunately, everything is on track now. Even though I am busy, I have something to look forward to.

When Bai Qianxi woke up in the morning, she saw Ye Beiling sitting in the yard and paused.

She had been looking for excuses to avoid him these past few days, but she didn't expect him to be waiting at the door so early today.

Seeing Bai Qianxi's evasive movements, Ye Beiling felt a pain in his heart again, "You really don't want to see me now?"

"No." Bai Qianxi's voice was cold.

"Don't worry. I'm not looking for you today for anything else. I heard from Thirteen that someone suddenly fell ill. I went to see them today. Their condition is not very serious now. Your medicine is very effective."

Seeing that he was talking about serious matters, Bai Qianxi's embarrassment eased a little.

"It's good that you're feeling better." She hadn't had the chance to see the person today and was about to go over. Now she felt relieved when she heard the other person's words.

"From the current perspective, this disease is not contagious, but we still need to be careful. It is definitely not a coincidence that so many people are infected at the same time."

"Understood. I'll ask Thirteen to check it out."

Ye Beiling nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

If he finds out who did this, it would not be excessive to kill all nine generations of the clan who dared to do such a trick at this critical moment.

"Since you want to investigate, I won't interfere in this matter."

The two looked at each other again in silence, and an atmosphere of silence spread.

"I'm going to check the surrounding situation today and take in new refugees. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, I'll stay in the city. I've received news that many refugees have returned, and someone is needed to take care of the rear."

"Plus, there are still many seriously ill people. I still don't feel comfortable leaving them to them. I have to watch over them personally."

Ye Beiling continued to remain silent.

He knew that what the other party said was true, but he felt that these were not the real reasons for the other party to stay in the city.

She was still avoiding him.
