Qi Yue frowned.
What kind of prescription is this?
It's so strange.
Fortunately, Little Shanzi didn't have any issues, and rembering he hadn't taken the Detoxification Pill yet, Qi Yue took one out and let him swallow it.
"Senior sister, after taking this, will I not get sick?"
"I don't know, we'll see, but this dicine is good for you!"
How can it not be?
The placenta of the White Rhino, capable of countering all poisons.
Originally, there weren't many made, and with each pill consud, there would be one less.
However, at this point, she both hoped the Detoxification Pill was effective and that it wasn't.
If it were ineffective, although it would increase the safety risks, she might figure out so other thod.
But if it were effective, especially if it were indispensable, then it would be troubleso.
After all, there was only one White Rhino placenta, and no substitutes were available.
Listening to Little Shanzi's introduction, in Longnan County Governnt alone, there were at least a thousand people with blisters all over their bodies.
With the few pills left, who would they be used on?
Thinking of this, Qi Yue couldn't help but sigh.
"Yueyue, is it very troubleso?"
Seeing Zhao Xiyan looking at her worriedly, Qi Yue couldn't help but express her worries.
"Let's wait and see first, don't worry too much; the situation isn't that bad yet."
Qi Yue nodded.
She didn't say it aloud, but her mind was occupied with another matter.
Often, diseases that show no initial symptoms can erupt trendously.
She could only hope everything would develop in a favorable direction!
The group followed Little Shanzi to the second yard, where they imdiately slled the overpowering scent of herbs.
Then they saw Huang Zai'an with his ssy hair, busy at work!
Their footsteps disturbed Huang Zai'an, who imdiately stopped what he was doing and rushed over.
"Apprentice ah, you're finally back? Your master is about to die from exhaustion!"
Qi Yue directly grabbed Huang Zai'an's arm and took his pulse.
She wanted to know if soone who had taken the Detoxification Pill would be infected after being in close contact with a patient like this.
Huang Zai'an didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing Qi Yue so concerned about him made him feel gratified.
"Truly my good apprentice, always thinking of your master!"
Qi Yue didn't speak, pulling him aside to sit down in the pavilion.
Several minutes later, she released Huang Zai'an's arm.
"Master, where are the patients, and how many are there now?"
"They are all inside the rooms," Huang Zai'an nodded towards the chambers on both sides, "More than twenty were brought from outside, plus the Hu Family mbers, there are over fifty in total."
Qi Yue was struck silent.
"Only over fifty? The number doesn't seem right."
Huang Zai'an shrugged, "How co you think it's too few!"
Qi Yue glared at him.
"Master, can't you be serious for once? The Hu Family alone had over fifty mbers!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zai'an also began to worry.
"No way, are you saying that soone ran away?"
Before she could reply, Qi Yue hurried into the room, determined to verify the situation herself.
In the main room, a woman lay on the bed, presumably Mrs. Hu from her attire.
In the outer room, several female relatives, maidservants, and old won lay on couches; their treatnt was significantly poorer as they lay on the ground.
After a thorough check, she did not find Hu Keqing's wife, Pri Minister Lin's daughter, Lin Keke!
Huang Zai'an was instantly bewildered.
"It's not my business, eh? Were there only these people when I arrived?... Apprentice, that woman nad Lin sothing, she didn't run out after getting infected, did she?!"
Qi Yue furrowed her brows.
"Let's hope she escaped that fate! Otherwise...."
She did not continue, but everyone who heard her was secretly alard.
If Lin Keke had been infected when she left, not only would she have spread the infection all along the way back to the capital city, but the citizens of the capital city might not be spared either.
That would indeed be a catastrophe.
The lives of the citizens of the Beiyuan Kingdom had already been hard in recent years.
The Emperor was incompetent; treacherous ministers held power; uprisings were incessant; disasters occurred year after year. Neighboring Western Chu, Nanyue, and Donggao had long been coveting their territory. One more crisis like this, and the country would truly be finished.
After a mont of silence, Zhao Xiyan imdiately ordered Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai to send a fast ssage to the capital city, to find Lin Keke's whereabouts.
The only hope now was that this woman had not been infected, or had not gone to the capital city at all.
At that mont, Mrs. Hu, lying in bed, suddenly scread that she couldn't move.
"Quick, soone, carry out!"
Just as Huang Zai'an was about to rush in, Qi Yue hastily stopped him.
"Master, wait a mont."
She had just checked and found that the symptoms of this woman were the sa as those described in Huang Zai'an's letter; her body was covered with water blisters both large and small, and her face as well.
The most bizarre thing was that these blisters were neither painful nor itchy, and they were hard when pressed, like a shell.
Ever since Qi Yue had seen the condition of these people, an image kept flashing through her mind: those blisters suddenly bursting, splashing liquid everywhere.
Whoever touched it would be afflicted!
In such a situation, it was definitely important to first protect oneself!
She reached into the small bag she carried with her and began to take things out.
She quickly pulled out two protective suits, two high-protection helts, as well as a sampling device and a petri dish.
She ordered Zhao Xiyan and the others not to follow her in; she and Huang Zai'an put on the protective suits and went in together to investigate.
Apart from Zhao Xiyan, who knew the true story, everyone knew that Qi Yue's small bag was a treasure trove that could produce various items. Upon seeing her retrieving items, they all watched in silence, dumbstruck.
In the room, in addition to Mrs. Hu, a few other aunts also started shouting.
"I can't move, soone help !"
"Quick, soone, I can't move!"
"..."
Qi Yue and Huang Zai'an exchanged glances, both frowning and remaining silent.
They quietly walked in to start the examination.
The situation was indeed eerie.
They had suddenly beco immobile, as if a freezing spell had been cast on them, unable to move their hands, feet, or necks.
Their eyes, however, kept rolling ceaselessly, and their tongues were quite agile, continuously shouting.
Yet, the water blisters on their bodies had not changed at all compared to before.
Even the sizes and colors were exactly the sa.
"Apprentice, what on earth is going on?" Huang Zai'an anxiously looked at her from behind the veil.
Qi Yue was taking the pulse of the two screaming won and shook her head silently at his words.
The pulse of these people was too strange.
Apart from being a bit weaker than normal people, she found nothing amiss.
"Absolutely clueless."
The only thod now was to take samples and bring them back to the space to research with the most advanced modern instrunts.
If even that could not determine what it was, she wouldn't know what to do either.
The won of the Hu Family, seeing two people in white pointing at them, scread in terror.
After being scolded, they recognized her as Qi Yue, who had entered before and had prepared dicine for them, and they cald down.
But imdiately after, they began begging the two to treat them.
"Miss Qi, please, you must save us!"
"Miss Qi, it was their father and husband who opposed you before, not us!"
"..."
