In fact, the research results indicated that the cause of those people's blisters and full-body stiffness wasn't poison, but rather a completely unknown substance.
A substance that even the little assistant, a dical repository filled with countless strange materials, couldn't identify.
Qi Yue had always believed that the source of the poisoning had to be so kind of poison and that it was inseparably linked to Qing Nanzun's poisoned blood.
But now, it seed that having the little assistant research Qing Nanzun's poisoned blood, as well as Hu Keqing's, was utterly futile and of no use at all.
This was simply the greatest challenge she had ever encountered in her two lifetis as a doctor!
Staring at that strange molecular formula on the screen, Qi Yue fell into an unprecedented stupor.
Just like she had felt before.
At this mont, she was completely out of ideas.
She didn't know where to begin.
"Little Assistant, do you have any thoughts?"
Even the Little Assistant, quite rarely, shook its chanical neck.
"I'm completely clueless."
"....." Qi Yue wordlessly pursed her lips.
What's the use of these things?
Amidst her frustration, she suddenly heard a shout.
"Qi Yue!!"
This voice was so cold that it seeped into Qi Yue's eardrums, startling her into a shiver!
"...Is this... Zhao Xiyan?"
Qi Yue incredulously dug at her ears.
It was her first ti hearing Zhao Xiyan shout at her so fiercely!
She really hadn't expected that this jerk's angry voice could also be so pleasant to hear.
It even had the sonorous ring of a sword being unsheathed.
"Co out this instant! Qi Yue!"
Another stern shout rang in her ear.
Qi Yue hurriedly left the laboratory.
She rembered she had an agreent with that jerk, to see each other at least once every three shichen.
She had planned to go out imdiately, but upon glancing at her clothes, she quickly went upstairs to change.
In the brief space of a minute, Zhao Xiyan's angry voice bell-like, clanged in her ears.
"Qi Yue..."
As Zhao Xiyan called out to her again, Qi Yue finally appeared above the bed.
It was already bright outside.
The whistling of the wind through the window lattice seed to echo Zhao Xiyan's angry shouts.
Qi Yue, observing the man's seemingly furious figure, spoke up weakly.
"Hey, is there any need to shout so loudly? You're going to deafen !"
Hearing her voice, Zhao Xiyan imdiately turned around and strode to the bedside.
"You finally know to co out?"
His voice still carried anger, but it remained captivating.
It was majestic and resonant, like the cry of a phoenix and the sound of a lute.
Qi Yue, knowing she was in the wrong, didn't dare to look up at him. She just pursed her lips and savored his voice.
It had to be said, although this life was still tough, it was definitely worth it.
She had snagged a man with both good looks and a great voice.
Heh heh.
Caught up in delightful thoughts, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Yueyue... Yueyue..."
Suddenly, Zhao Xiyan called her na softly and bent down to embrace her.
"Yueyue, don't cry. I was just trying to scare you..."
The man's voice carried a touch of appeasent.
"Didn't you want to experience dating different n? Just now, I was being a man with a bad temper. Can you handle that?"
Qi Yue nearly died of laughter.
What kind of treasure had she gotten in a man?
How incredibly adorable!
However, since she was misunderstood to have cried, how could she bring the scene to a close without shedding so real tears?
With a turn of her eyes, Qi Yue imdiately started wailing at the top of her voice.
"You heartless man, don't you know I've been busy all night? And yet you take your anger out on !"
Everything about this space was great, except for this one thing, you exit at the sa place you entered!
Otherwise, she should have at least appeared in the washroom, and then told the man she was bathing, to prove that she wasn't in the space all night long.
She leaned into Zhao Xiyan's embrace and pounded on his chest mightily.
It wasn't until Zhao Xiyan admitted he was wrong that she finally let go.
Reaching out her hand, she indeed managed to squeeze out quite a few tears from her eyes.
Zhao Xiyan had no choice but to use a handkerchief to wipe them away, while also saying so words to appease her.
After all this commotion, Qi Yue felt as if all the troubles of the night had been swept away, and she began to feel tired.
"Husband, I want to sleep for a while. When I wake up, I'll tell you about the latest developnts," she said.
As she spoke, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She had been traveling by plane the previous night, busy in Longnan all day, and up all through the last night!
Even the strongest of people would be tired after such a continuous stretch.
Zhao Xiyan sighed softly, laid Qi Yue back on the bed, and carefully covered her with the blanket.
"Won't you sleep unless I call you out?" he muttered.
The response he received was Qi Yue's gentle breathing.
He pursed his lips and pecked her face lightly.
"Don't even know if you have eaten, not saying anything... Are you that distrustful of ?" he murmured.
He sat quietly by her side for a while before finally getting into bed lightly, lying down next to Qi Yue.
The next second, a soft body rolled into his arms and clung tightly to his waist.
Zhao Xiyan raised the corners of his mouth and silently closed his eyes.
No matter if the sky fell or the earth cracked outside, at least at this mont, she needed him, and he only wanted to be with her.
Quite different from the tranquility here was the Qi Mansion's next door pharmacy.
Early in the morning, several people with stiff bodies were carried in, seeking dical assistance.
Huang Zai'an, not yet fully awake, was jolted from sleep by Little Shanzi and dragged to the consultation table.
After examining those stiff individuals, Huang Zai'an found that their symptoms were the sa as those of the won from the Hu Family from the day before.
Their muscles were as if frozen, with only other organs in their bodies still functioning.
Huang Zai'an was clueless about this condition,
He could only follow Qi Yue's prescription from the day before to brew the dicine, ensuring each person had so to drink.
The news spread, and more people with blisters all over their faces and bodies arrived.
The reason they had not panicked before was that the blisters were neither painful nor itchy, but now that their bodies were stiffening, fear was inevitable.
They crowded around, crying and shouting, pleading with Huang Zai'an about their sudden outbreak of blisters!
"Doctor Huang, please prescribe dicine for us, I don't want to turn into stone, please give us dicine!"
"Doctor Huang, save us!"
"..."
The crowd grew larger and the noise more complex.
So people implied that this disease had sothing to do with Qi Yue.
If only she would show up and produce the antidote, everything would be fine.
At first, it was just a quiet discussion, but gradually, the voices grew louder.
Huang Zai'an, terror-stricken, quickly pulled over the other physician, Qiao Zhiyuan, before slipping away himself.
He needed to talk to Qi Yue and figure out what was going on.
At this mont, he was unaware that the whole situation had been precipitated by him seeking the Governor's Office to promptly control the outbreak after he discovered the symptoms,
Especially since he uttered a sentence he shouldn't have.
—My apprentice sensed sothing was wrong with the Hu Residence early on and told to keep a close watch when she left.
In his eyes, that sentence was ant to signify that Qi Yue was deeply concerned about the people of Longnan.
But to those with ulterior motives, it took on a different aning.
And indeed, it had been grossly misinterpreted and spread.
Huang Zai'an rushed to the entrance, only to be stopped by Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai.
"Doctor Huang, our Marquis has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb our lady!"
Huang Zai'an's eyelids flipped, "Move aside, what about the lady? They're not even married yet."
