The leader did not answer directly this time. Instead, he was silent for a long time before speaking, "Go to the southern Chu territory to search."

Without waiting for the attendant to speak, the leader said again, "Recently, it is because of the Great Xia country that the mother-in-law has been angry again and again. For the time being, you can't take risks there."

"I understand. I will send someone to the State of Chu to look for him right away."

The two of them were discussing with each other, not taking the life of the boy next to them seriously at all, as if this life was too insignificant in their eyes.

After a while, the four vessels were filled with blood, and the boy on the jade stone was completely dead.

The leader picked up the vessel and walked out while saying, "Take out the bones as soon as possible. They are needed in the forbidden area."

"Subordinates take orders."

After the leader came out, he hurried back to the cabin. The witch was still sitting cross-legged in the middle with her eyes closed. There was a thick gloomy atmosphere all around her, which made people feel breathless.

Seeing that the blood in the surrounding blood bowls was almost empty, the leader trembled and hurriedly poured fresh blood into the blood bowls.

After a while, the gloomy and depressing atmosphere in the cabin slowly disappeared, and the witch who had closed her eyes slowly opened them. It was obvious that her sunken eyes had become sharper, and her eyes seemed to emit a cold light that could suck people in like an abyss, which was terrifying.

The leader knelt on the ground, not daring to look up, and said in a trembling voice, "It was my fault that I failed to deliver the blood quickly."

"It won't happen again."

The witch's voice sounded sinister, and the leader trembled all over in fear, but he still didn't dare to relax.

Until the witch's voice came again, "Go to the forbidden area and guard it. The chieftain should be coming out soon."

"I obey your orders."

-

This room.

The General’s Mansion in the capital.

"Dog, feel how Gong Chenyu is handling the flood discharge?"

[Master, rest assured, everything is under the control of the prince, and everything is going smoothly. At the same time, the prince asked the shadow guards to secretly investigate the people involved in the shoddy construction.]

Nan Mo nodded and looked up at the clear sky outside the study. "How long will it take for the heavy rain in Zhenjiang to stop?"

【According to the test analysis, the treatment will stop in two days at most. 】

Hearing this, Nan Mo immediately shouted outside the study, "Smell the fragrance."

"Miss, the servant is here."

"Where's Su Tong?"

"During this period of time, except for eating and sleeping, I have been running between the pharmacy and Renyitang. Now I am in Renyitang."

"Prepare the car."

Soon, Nan Mo took a carriage and entered the back yard from the back door of Renyitang.

Wen Xiang went to the front and called Su Tong over.

In the wing room.

Nan Mo took a sip from the teacup and looked at Su Tong who was behaving well below. "How's your research on poison techniques going recently?"

"I can't say I've mastered all the content in the book The King of All Poisons that the young lady left behind, but at least I've learned 80% of it with ease."

"very good."

After saying this, Nan Mo put down the teacup and took out a few prescriptions.

Wen Xiang respectfully took the prescription and handed it to Su Tong below.

After taking a look at the prescription, Su Tong was surprised, "Preventing epidemics?"

"It seems that I have learned a lot in the pharmacy recently."

Hearing the praise from his girl, Su Tong scratched his head shyly.

She said sincerely, "It's all because of the young lady's good teaching. The young lady has given me so many rare books on medicine and poison. If I can't even understand the prescriptions for preventing epidemics, then I have really failed the young lady's cultivation."

"Those who know how to be grateful will be blessed in the future."

Nan Mo said this meaningfully, and then continued, "Your talent is also part of this, so you don't have to deny your advantages."

Su Tong nodded solemnly, "I understand."

"Does Renyitang have enough medicinal materials?"

"Don't worry, young lady. The pharmacy has always had the habit of storing medicinal materials. In addition to your instructions some time ago, I'm afraid that our Renyitang now has more medicinal materials in stock than the Imperial Hospital."

"That's good. Prepare the herbs according to these prescriptions and support Zhenjiang at any time."

Su Tong immediately became serious when she heard this, "Miss, has there been a flood in Zhenjiang? Usually, floods are followed by various epidemics."

"There won't be a major flood, but there will still be small-scale inundation. It's better to be prepared."

"I will go and count the herbs right away."

On the carriage leaving Renyitang, Gouzi was puzzled: [Master, even if we prepare medicinal materials for Zhenjiang, we don't need to pay for it out of our own pockets. If the treasury of Daxia is empty, you can help, but it is obvious that the emperor lives a very comfortable life. ]

"The emperor's life is indeed too comfortable."

Before the dog could understand what his master meant, the carriage stopped at the palace gate.

Nan Mo got off the carriage, asked Wen Xiang to go back to the general's mansion first, and then she walked towards the palace in a swagger.

[What is the master doing in the palace? ]

"Of course I'm going to ask the emperor for money. Do you really think that I, your master, am the savior? The medicinal materials in Renyitang are not for everyone to use casually."

The dog choked suddenly. It knew how its master could not possibly pay out of his own pocket when the treasury of the Great Xia Kingdom was full. Even if the treasury was insufficient, the master would surely ask the emperor to write an IOU.

Nan Mo arrived outside Chongzheng Hall smoothly.

The emperor had just engaged in a lot of intrigue and deception with a group of ministers, and now he was exhausted and on the verge of anger.

When the door of Chongzheng Hall opened, the ministers all looked miserable, and walked out dejectedly, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.

When the ministers saw Nan Mo suddenly appear here, they immediately lowered their heads and took quick steps, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

After all, Nanmo's banquet in the palace that day really shocked all the ministers.

However, compared to the ministers who lowered their heads and tried their best to reduce their presence, the last minister who was over 60 years old glanced at Nan Mo. His eyes seemed very unhappy, with a hint of suppressed anger.

"Gouzi, who is this guy? Did we steal his money?"

Gouzi responded hastily: [This person is Lan Kangning, Marquis of Anyang.]

Marquis of Anyang?

Nan Mo looked at the backs of the ministers suspiciously, "When did I offend him?"

Gouzi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because of my father, the general."

"Did my father offend the Marquis' Mansion?"

[The master forgot that the old lady's birthday was originally in two days, but because the general's father reported to the emperor, the emperor angrily rebuked the Marquis of Anyang and banned the holding of large banquets when disasters occurred in the north and south. It is said that he also ordered the Marquis's mansion to contribute a lot of money to disaster relief. ]

"Oh! You dare to turn your back on me when you don't dare to do anything to the emperor. He doesn't think I'm a soft persimmon that's easy to bully!"

[The Marquis of Anyang did not attend the last palace banquet, so he must have heard of his master's great achievements. However, for these so-called respected old ministers, they always like to take advantage of their seniority and will only believe it if they see it with their own eyes and hear it with their own ears.]

snort!

Nan Mo snorted lightly, her phoenix eyes turned and she laughed meaningfully, "It seems that we have to ask for double the amount from the emperor, otherwise the glare just now would have been in vain!"

As he spoke, he walked up the stairs and entered the Chongzheng Hall.
