    Miracle Doctor General’s Wife(9)

    The place was full of patients, and doctors and medicine boys came and went, busy boiling medicine and bringing hot water.Dead patients were carried out and new patients were brought in.

    Leng Xiyan walked to the side of the patient to diagnose their pulse. The prefect explained at the side, “I have asked the doctor. This disease will occur within an hour after drinking water. The patient will have vomiting and diarrhea at first, then a rash all over the body, followed by a high fever, confusion, and finally death…”

    “The doctors have tried countless prescriptions, but they can only suppress them temporarily. These patients will die within three days at most…”

    Leng Xiyan concentrated on diagnosing the patient’s pulse, her brows furrowed tightly and her expression became serious.

    “How is it? Can you tell what kind of poison this is?” Shangguan Zijing saw Leng Xiyan let go of her hand and asked her.

    Leng Xiyan shook her head, “It’s not certain yet. I’m going to go to that well to have a look…”

    The prefect took them to the well again.After filling a small bucket of water, Leng Xiyan took a closer look: This poison is colorless and odorless, and cannot be detected in the water. No wonder so many people have been infected.Who is so vicious as to poison the water and harm the people of a city?

    “Girl, due to terrain problems, there are very few rivers in Bincheng area, and ordinary people don’t have the spare money to dig wells at home, so this well is the main way for people in the city to use water. If it cannot be solved, the people’s water use will become a problem…” The prefect was very worried.

    Leng Xiyan filled a kettle with some well water and planned to study it when she went back.The group stayed at the prefect’s mansion.After driving for two consecutive days, everyone was a little tired. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

    For several days after that, Leng Xiyan and the doctors had been discussing how to treat these patients. They changed the prescriptions countless times, but still could not solve the problem.Later, a pill that could suppress the toxin was finally developed, but it could only solve a temporary emergency, and the antidote had not yet been developed.

    What is gratifying is that the successful development of the elixir has slowed down the death rate of patients and bought some time for the development of antidotes.

    Late at night, the prefect’s mansion.

    Shangguan Zijing pushed his wheelchair to Leng Xiyan’s yard.In order to facilitate continued research, Leng Xiyan set up a simple pharmacy in the yard.It was already midnight, and the candles in the pharmacy were still on.

    Shangguan Zijing gently opened the door of the pharmacy and walked in.He’s legs are already able to walk, but it’s a little strange when walking. It will take some time to fully return to normal.

    As soon as he stepped into the pharmacy, he saw Leng Xiyan asleep on the table.There are some medicinal materials and a few prescriptions piled on the table, and there are some paper balls on the ground.Shangguan Zijing picked up a ball of paper and opened it. It was a invalid prescription.

    He looked at Leng Xiyan again.She slept on her side, her brows furrowed in her sleep, and she seemed to be sleeping uneasily.During this period of time, in order to develop the antidote, she didn’t get much rest. Her eyes were slightly green and black, and she lost a lot of weight. Her already sharp chin became even sharper.

    Shangguan Zijing’s hand touched her face and caressed her.The smooth touch on the fingertips makes him love it.Leng Xiyan seemed to be aware of something in her dream, and she was about to wake up with a cry.Shangguan Zijing quickly took back his hand.

    Leng Xiyan opened her eyes, saw Shangguan Zijing in front of her, and subconsciously shouted, “General?”

    “It’s me. It’s already very late. Go back and rest quickly. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to hold on…” Shangguan Zijing persuaded her.

    Leng Xiyan sobered up a little and asked he, “Why is the general here so late?”

    “I can’t sleep, so I came out to take a look…” Shangguan Zijing explained softly.

    “I see. General, go back and rest quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow…” Leng Xiyan covered her mouth and yawned again.

    After watching the lights in Leng Xiyan’s room go out, Shangguan Zijing turned around and left.

    After countless improvements, Leng Xiyan finally developed the antidote.She ordered people to hurry up and make it and then give it to those patients.The disease was quickly brought under control and the patients were gradually recovering.The people were all grateful to Leng Xiyan for saving their lives, and almost worshiped her as a Bodhisattva.

    Although the strange disease has been solved, the person behind the poison still needs to be found out, otherwise no one knows what he will do next.

    I followed the clues and found a county official in Bincheng.It turns out that the county magistrate has been dissatisfied with the governor of Bincheng for a long time, and has been thinking of ways to squeeze out he so that he can replace him.

    This time, he went so crazy that he poured poison into the wells commonly used by the people in an attempt to harm the people of the city.Once this matter is not resolved, the prefect will definitely be reprimanded by the emperor for failing to defend the city, and he may even lose his head because of it.At that time, the position of prefect will belong to him.The county magistrate had this calculation in mind.

    However, he didn’t expect that the matter would be revealed so quickly, so he hurriedly packed up and fled.By the time Shangguan Zijing and his group rushed over, the building was already empty.The prefect sent people to search the city for the county magistrate’s traces, but they never expected that the county magistrate actually fished in troubled waters and hid in the prefect’s mansion.

    It was about to succeed, but in the end it fell short, and the county magistrate was very angry.He blames all this on Leng Xiyan. If it weren’t for She, he would have become a prefect long ago.The county magistrate had a grudge and sneaked into the prefect’s mansion to kidnap Leng Xiyan.Finally, he found an opportunity and was successfully kidnapped.
