Xi Chao took the herb and watched it intently for a while, then heard Dr. Zhao say: "Tong Zhou said in the letter that the symptoms of the epidemic in Dongshan are acute and rapid, and those who are infected will soon disappear. It seems like he has some kind of emergency. It must be related to this medicine..."

Hearing Dr. Zhao's words, Xi Chao also thought of Gu Tongzhou's judgment, and because he knew that the medicine was not owned by Daliang, he felt a little strange for some reason.She flipped through the herb a few times, and suddenly heard Xiao Rongjin cough twice, and hurriedly recovered and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Rongjin shook her head: "It's just that there is some discomfort in the throat. What do you see?" She lightly brushed aside the topic, and turned to the herb that Xi Chao had been staring at for a long time.

Xi Chao shook his head, but he was thinking about his Highness's body. Could it be that his body has been hurt by the exhaustion of running around for the past few days. His Highness's foundation is not good, so I don't know if there is a good student to take care of him.After all, that strange power is so fierce that even Xiao Rongjin, who only has poison left in her body, has suffered many crimes...

Xi Chao stopped shaking her head abruptly, and she suddenly remembered the poisonous abnormality on His Highness that Gu Tongzhou had told her several years ago.The poison of Xueshang has excellent dormant properties, it will only gradually weaken the person, and its properties are extremely slow, so it is often difficult to find it when it is not close to death.But the strangeness of His Highness is quite strong, and it is also for this reason that the imperial physician was able to detect the illness in time, and even if he invited Elder Sun into the palace, he saved his life.

She remembered that Gu Tongzhou also said at that time that the poison originated from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Could it be that there is some connection between the two... Xi Chao's expression became solemn, and she looked straight at Xiao Rongjin: "Rongrong, I seem to think about it." what."

Although Xiao Rongjin didn't know what Xi Chao meant, she frowned seeing her excited appearance: "What do you think of?"

After Xi Chao settled down, he remembered that the poisoning of Princess Changle was a secret secret of the palace, so he made a slight change and replaced Xiao Rongjin with a patient he had seen before, and then told all the things he had just thought of.

After Dr. Zhao heard this, his brows were tightly frowned: "Northern Wei Dynasty and I are in the north and south of Daliang. The regions are very different, and even the habits and effects of medicinal herbs are also different. At this time, I will go to someone who is familiar with the medicines of the Northern Wei Dynasty. , I’m afraid it’s too late, what should I do?”

Xi Chao's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, God helped me. I just happened to meet an old man who is proficient in the medicine of the Northern Wei Dynasty today!"

Doctor Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where is that man now?"

"It's in the medical hall!" Xi Chao replied with a smile.

Xi Chao went to invite Gu Huaixiu to the hall for a talk, but saw Zheng Mingyuan following behind.Thinking that he was an official in the Northern Wei Dynasty, even though he was only a medical officer, Xi Chao still hesitated, wondering if he should invite Zheng Mingyuan over.

Gu Huaixiu seemed to see her worries, so he looked up at Zheng Mingyuan: "You haven't packed your things for tomorrow's trip, so you can stay here."

Zheng Mingyuan glanced at Xi Chao, although his expression was still friendly, it made Xi Chao feel a little embarrassed for no reason, and then he heard him mutter: "The night is getting dark, and lonely men and widows don't pay attention."

Xi Chao choked on his saliva, but was speechless.

Gu Huaixiu reached out and patted the back of his head: "Stop talking nonsense and go to work!"

It's just that Xi Chao looked at such a scene, and somehow it looked familiar.Some forgotten scenes suddenly surfaced, she remembered that it was about asking Gui Shuilian, Gu Huaixiu seemed to have found an excuse, and pushed aside the daring companion beside him who dared not speak up.

Sensing Xi Chao's eyes, Gu Huaixiu sighed slightly and said, "Although Ming Yuan sticks to etiquette, he has a very good temper."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xi Chao always felt that when Gu Huaixiu said this, there was a little bit of affection?

"It's a pity, I'm just a little stupid..." Gu Huaixiu changed the subject, and returned to his usual light-tongued temper, shaking his head and said: "After following me for so many years, I didn't make any progress, failure, failure..."

Xi Chao silently rolled his eyes, and it turns out that affection is really just an illusion!

When Gu Huaixiu entered the room, he first bowed to Xiao Rongjin who was sitting on the main seat, then looked at Dr. Zhao who was sitting beside him, and said with a slight smile: "I have admired Mr. Zhao's reputation for a long time, and it is my luck to meet you today. "

Xi Chao was used to Gu Huaixiu's frivolous and rude appearance on weekdays, but he was somewhat surprised by his polite appearance at the moment.

Dr. Zhao stood up and bowed back, "The young master of the Gu family is here, so he is full of glory."

Gu Huaixiu just smiled heartily and stopped being self-effacing, and sat down straight to look at the uncollected herbs on the table, with a faint light in his eyes.

Xi Chao waited patiently for him to come to his conclusion.

He just waited for a while, but Gu Huaixiu didn't see any comments. He just played with the herb, but his eyes fell on Xiao Rongjin.

When Xiao Rongjin met Gu Huaixiu's eyes, she knew it in her heart: "This matter is only for saving the people of Dongshan, and innocent people will never be involved."

Gu Huaixiu chuckled: "Although a branch of my Gu family now lives in the Northern Wei Dynasty, my father warned me from an early age that no matter the living, as long as they are patients, medical practitioners should do their best. But if other things are involved, I'm afraid... excuse me Gu is unable to follow his orders."

Xiao Rongjin stared at Gu Huaixiu, his words seemed casual, but there was a kind of firmness in his eyes.Presumably he has made up his mind and will not change it easily.

However, if he sincerely refused this matter, why would he come to Xuanzhou on purpose and sacrifice his life?

Xiao Rongjin stood up, poured out a cup of tea and put it in front of Gu Huaixiu: "Young Master Gu, you saved the people of Dongshan."

……

On the second day, Gu Huaixiu went to Dongshan.Zheng Mingyuan didn't seem to be surprised by Gu Huaixiu's departure. He stayed in the clinic, because he was also a doctor, and he and Dr. Zhao were the same.When Xi Chao watched the two of them sitting in front of the hall discussing medical skills, he remembered that many years ago, Imperial Physician Zhang also seemed to appreciate this person very much. It seems that Zheng Mingyuan seems to be quite liked by these old scholars.

However, Xi Chao's eyes quickly turned to Xiao Rongjin who was sitting beside him drinking tea.

Yesterday she and Dr. Zhao left first, and I don't know what His Royal Highness said to Gu Huaixiu. Today Gu Huaixiu went to Dongshan, but she was told not to leave Xuanzhou City yet.

Although Xi Chao didn't understand the way of this, he also knew that he was probably being targeted. If he returned to Dongshan at this time, those who were hiding behind would know how far they had been investigated.

She naturally had confidence in Gu Huaixiu, so the anxiety in her heart was put down first, but another matter made her a little worried.

Because of Gu Huaixiu's going to Dongshan, Xi Chao told him about the epidemic situation in detail.Of course, she also talked about the similarities between the bloody poison and this epidemic.

But Gu Huaixiu's words afterwards were somewhat intriguing: "Xi Chao, your highness is quite calm."

Before Xi Chao could react at that time, he heard him say again: "You really don't know."

It was these two sentences that made Xi Chao think wildly all night, but he still couldn't figure it out.

What made Xi Chao even more puzzled was that when she asked Xiao Rongjin about this matter, Xiao Rongjin just frowned and said nothing, not even saying a word to Xi Chao this morning.

Xi Chaozheng was wandering, and suddenly felt a scent in front of him, but saw Zhang Kun standing aside, holding a paper bag, with a sincere smile on his face: "Miss Xi, this is a snack from my parents. Would you like to try some?"

Xi Chao laughed, but was distracted by the snack in his hand, she reached out to take the paper bag: "I have a very picky appetite." This piece of Kun Cong saw her cure the mad lady yesterday afternoon. After that, the way she looked at her suddenly changed.Those eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and Xi Chao looked a little embarrassed.

Although Xi Chao's medical skills are not bad, but after all, she is still young, and it is rare for someone to look at her with such admiring eyes, and there is a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart, so she is quite reckless towards Zhang Kun.

When Zhang Kun heard her words, the skin on his face turned a little red, he just smiled silly twice, and watched Xi Chao take a bite of the pastry.

Although the pastry was not as delicate as the Liu's shop in Jian'an City, it was soft, sweet but not greasy, and very refreshing.

Xi Chao couldn't stand seeing dim sum at first, so he ate one piece and went to get another one, of course he didn't forget to praise Zhang Kun: "It's delicious, I haven't eaten such dim sum for a long time."

Zhang Kun looked at Xi Chao's satisfied smile at the moment, and laughed along with him: "Miss Xi just likes it, if you think it's delicious, I'll ask my mother to bring some more tomorrow."

Xi Chao's eyes lit up, and he felt a little out of control again, he quickly swallowed the snack in his mouth and said: "That's no need, it's already very good for you to treat me to a snack today, how can I trouble your parents anymore." Passed the paper bag to Zhang Kun: "Dim sum is delicious, but someone told me not to eat more."

When he said this, Xi Chao took a special look at Xiao Rongjin who had been doing nothing.

When these words came out, Xiao Rongjin really had a reaction. Xi Chao watched her stand up and walk towards him, with a deeper smile on her lips, and in her heart, it was no better than the snack just now.

It's just that when Xiao Rongjin walked to her side, he walked over without a glance.

The smile on Xi Chao's face froze for a moment, then he turned his head to look at Xiao Rongjin and walked towards the man who had just walked into the clinic.

The man bowed to Xiao Rongjin and took out a letter from his waist.

Xiao Rongjin took the letter and glanced at it, then said: "Go down and get ready, I'll leave after noon."

The man bowed and left.

Xi Chao also ignored Zhang Kun who still wanted to say something, and went straight to Xiao Rongjin: "Rongrong, what happened?"

Xiao Rongjin nodded and said, "Lanxi County has a clue."

Lanxi?Xi Chao was stunned for a moment: "You want to go?"

"Let's go after noon." Xiao Rongjin finally raised her eyes to look at her: "I'll solve the doubts in your mind after this matter is resolved."
