The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 281

Okra and Holly quickly moved several large wooden barrels into Shangguan Ziling's tent. Shangguan Ziling also walked in. After a while, the wooden barrels were filled with clear and transparent spiritual spring water.

The two men carefully carried out the full buckets of spiritual spring water and prepared to distribute them to the surrounding victims.

Seeing this, Xue Zhiyan asked curiously, "Princess, what is this?"

Shangguan Ziling explained: "Let the victims drink it to enhance their resistance. Doctor Xue, you should drink a bowl as well. From now on, until we find a prescription to cure the plague, you must drink a bowl every day."

After hearing this, Xue Zhiyan walked to the table nearby, picked up a bowl, scooped a bowl of "medicine soup", and drank it all. Suddenly, he felt a coolness from his throat straight to his heart, and the fatigue and discomfort in his body disappeared instantly, and he felt refreshed.

Xue Zhiyan was shocked by this miraculous change. He carefully examined the bowl in his hand, trying to detect the ingredients of the "drug", but he could not find any clues.

He was full of doubts and was about to ask Shangguan Ziling for details when he was stopped by Mo Shaoxie's cold gaze.

Xue Zhiyan instantly understood what Mo Shaoxie meant, and knew that he didn't want him to ask more questions. So, he obediently shut his mouth and stopped asking.

Shangguan Ziling asked, "Doctor Xue, will you work with me to research a prescription for curing the plague?"

Xue Zhiyan bowed and said: "I am very happy to do so."

Afterwards, Shangguan Ziling and Xue Zhiyan walked into the tent together. Shangguan Ziling took out a few bottles of liquid medicine from her sleeves and showed them to Xue Zhiyan: "Doctor Xue, this is the liquid medicine I carefully developed in the past few days. Although it can slightly relieve the symptoms of severe plague patients, it still cannot eradicate the plague."

Xue Zhiyan took the medicine and examined each bottle carefully. His eyes were focused and deep. He sniffed it and after a long time, he slowly said, "The princess's prescription is already quite good. It may be because she has not yet found the right herbal medicine for the disease."

Shangguan Ziling nodded in agreement, and revealed that she had recently changed the prescription and added the Heart-Destroying Herb: "I think so too, so I added the Heart-Destroying Herb to the prescription."

She showed the new prescription to Xue Zhiyan, who took it and looked over it. After thinking for a long time, Xue Zhiyan made a suggestion: "Heart-piercing herbs do have a detoxifying effect, Princess. If you add a herb called Hanmiao grass to your prescription, the effect may be better."

Shangguan Ziling was stunned when she heard this, and then she suddenly realized: "Yes, why did I forget about Hanmeicao! It can indeed enhance the efficacy of the prescription." She thought for a moment and regretfully found that there was no Hanmeicao in her space.

Xue Zhiyan said: "Hanmeicao is quite common in the market and is sold in most pharmacies. I will report this to the prince and have someone go to the pharmacy to buy it."

Shangguan Ziling nodded and watched Xue Zhiyan leave. Then, she began to take out the various medicinal materials stored in the space one by one and arranged them in an orderly manner. These medicinal materials included various rare herbs, such as Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, and Coptis chinensis. Each plant exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, and they were obviously carefully selected top-grade.

Shangguan Ziling sorted out the herbs while thinking about how to further improve her prescription. She knew that in order to completely cure the plague, she had to find the most suitable combination of herbs to maximize the effectiveness of the prescription. She was full of firm belief that she would be able to successfully develop a good prescription to cure the plague.

Xue Zhiyan hurried to the place where the medicinal herbs brought by the Fourth Prince were placed. He asked the several imperial doctors who came with him to explain the situation. The doctors took out the list of medicinal herbs they brought and found that the ordinary Hanmeicao was not in the prescription.

Although this Hanmei grass is an ordinary medicinal material, it is an indispensable ingredient in the prescription developed by Princess Shangguan Ziling. He was anxious, knowing that without this medicine, the effect of the prescription would be greatly reduced.

So Xue Zhiyan hurriedly found Mo Shaoxie and told him the truth: "Your Majesty, the princess's prescription is still missing a herb called Hanmei grass. Although this herb is common, it is not included in the herbs that the Fourth Prince brought this time."

Mo Shaoxie frowned when he heard this. He immediately realized the urgency of the situation. In the face of the plague, every minute and every second was crucial. He gave the order without hesitation: "Mo Ying, immediately ask the people outside to go to the county town to purchase the Hanmei grass and make sure it is delivered as soon as possible."

Mo Ying left in response.

After receiving the order, a squad of ten soldiers immediately rode towards the county town. They galloped all the way, like lightning streaking through the sky, with only one thought in mind - to bring the Hanmei grass back to the disaster area as soon as possible.

When they arrived at the county town, the soldiers did not stop at all and went directly to the pharmacy in the county town. Jun Yaotian was drinking tea in the teahouse when he suddenly saw the people brought by Lao Si appear in the pharmacy. He was very surprised and walked down immediately.

Jun Yaotian walked over and asked in a bad tone, "Why are you coming to the county town instead of staying in the disaster area?"

Several soldiers turned their heads when they heard this, and the captain of the defending team, Wang Bing, stepped forward and explained, "Prince Yao, I was ordered to buy medicinal materials."

Jun Yaotian's face turned even uglier when he heard this. He had always been dissatisfied with the fourth brother, and when he heard that the other party actually called him "King Yao", he was furious. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Take them down!"

Jun Yaotian's men immediately surrounded the ten soldiers, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The team leader Wang Bing asked in confusion: "King Yao, what do you mean?"

Jun Yaotian sneered, "You came from the disaster area, so I have reason to suspect that you are infected with the plague. You still dare to come into the county town, aren't you afraid that the people in the county town will also be infected?"

Jun Yaotian's words frightened the people nearby and they started talking about it.

For a moment, the pharmacy was filled with panic and anxiety.

"Oh my god! There's a plague in the disaster area?"

“Are they coming from the disaster area?”

This is going to kill us! "

"Take them, take them, lock them up!"

"..."

Facing the accusations and panic of the crowd, Wang Bing loudly defended himself, "Prince Yao, don't talk nonsense! You are no longer His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have been named Prince Yao. The imperial edict is with the Fourth Prince, and the Emperor has ordered the Fourth Prince to have you escorted back to the capital. Our Fourth Prince was concerned about the victims, so he was unable to announce the edict in time."

However, Jun Yaotian was furious. He snorted coldly and said angrily: "Lock them up in the county government! How dare you slander this prince and speak to me like that!"

As his orders were given, Jun Yaotian's men stepped forward.

The ten soldiers resisted, but they were no match for Jun Yaotian's men and were quickly controlled, tied up and escorted towards the county government office.
