After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

Knowing that she couldn't break through the guards, Chen Luo didn't force her way in.

She stood up straight, her bright almond eyes filled with firm tenderness: "My husband is the future master of this world, and I am the only heir of the Medical Saint lineage."

"If the sky falls, it should first fall on me and my husband, not on these people."

"Please put yourself in their shoes, soldiers. If it were your parents, wives, and children who were in danger today, would you stop them like this?"

He bent down and helped the chief guard up: "I know you are doing this for my own good, but as long as I, Chen Luo, am alive, I cannot sit idly by."

After passing through the kneeling guards and without the obstruction of the soldiers arranged by Han Zhou, no one inside or outside the Luo Garden dared to stop Chen Luo.

The gate that blocked the people outside was opened at Chen Luo's order.

Everywhere I looked, I saw people with pale faces and white scarves on their faces.

Looking up, paper money for the dead was fluttering in the warm sun. Common people, wrapped in straw mats, were being taken to the burial place by their hunched and coughing relatives.

Her heart was in a mess and the hot tears in Chen Luo's eyes flowed down.

The people in the city felt sorry for Chen Luo's serious illness, and only when she was in the desperate situation and could not be saved did they come to her with their sick bodies to beg for help.

In the cold winter, Dingxi County, which had no disease or disaster, suddenly suffered from such a serious illness that could take people's lives. If it wasn't poisoned by someone with ulterior motives, then why?

She bowed deeply, repaying the people of Dingxi County for their love and trust in her.

He also apologized to the people who were killed in the struggle for imperial power.

"Chen Luo is late, please forgive me, please be at ease, please persevere, I will definitely come up with the cure as soon as possible."

With the help of the nanny, Chen Luo entered the mansion and first met the nanny who was taking care of the brother and sister.

"Grandma, don't let An'an and Ning'ning leave the house these days. All food and drinks should be from the existing ones in the house."

"It's enough to fill your stomach. There's no need to make it elaborate."

Too many casualties could easily lead to an epidemic. Chen Luo gave another reminder: "The teachers who teach them should also take a holiday in the near future. All those who take care of them must take a medicinal bath every day and wear a face cloth."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

Sitting on the main chair in the study, Chen Luo said to the housekeeper, "Go and copy all the pulse diagnosis notes of the doctors in the city. Don't mind the trouble, use the more detailed ones."

"If there are any doctors who can spare some time, please bring them directly to Luoyuan to see me."

He handed a prescription to the housekeeper and said, "Luo Garden will be crowded with people these days. You can make sachets out of these herbs and give them to everyone in the mansion."

The housekeeper took the order and hurried out of the house. Chen Luo called the people who were doing the shopping in the mansion and said, "Take out all the stored medicinal herbs. All the channels for purchasing medicinal herbs should be opened quickly. You should personally lead people to purchase these medicinal herbs."

By the time all these things were arranged, it was already dark.

Chen Luo sat at the desk, drinking rice soup while looking at the pulse diagnosis notes copied from the doctor. What echoed in her ears were the doctors' ever-changing methods of detoxification.

Putting down the spoon, Chen Luo, who had not even finished half a bowl of rice soup, asked the housekeeper to send all the doctors back.

It’s not that these doctors’ medical skills are so poor that they can’t even take a pulse, it’s that they have seen too many dead bodies and have become afraid.

No matter what the pulse condition is, they will only rely on the pulse condition of the epidemic left by their ancestors, and they will only use the prescription left by their ancestors to detoxify.

Under such high pressure, they could no longer find out any truth.

But the poison that fell from Xia Hong's hands must be new and deadly. There is no existing prescription in the world that can cure this poison.

Chen Luo's plan to rely on the doctor to take her pulse and prescribe medicine failed.

At daybreak, the soldiers sent by Chen Luo to investigate the source of the poison returned.

Chen Luo, who had not slept all night, heard the knock on the door. She took another stimulating pill and asked the housekeeper to invite someone in.

The leader, who had just gathered all the information together, knelt on the ground, his red and swollen eyes filled with guilt, revealing the severity of his current illness.

He never imagined that their concealment of the truth about Chen Luo would cause hundreds of thousands of people to become seriously ill and nearly a thousand people to die every day.

They are guilty.

Looking up at Chen Luo's increasingly paler face, the leader's eyes began to be moist.

If...if they had told Chen Luo everything earlier, would...would Chen Luo not have to torture herself like this.

"My lady, I am guilty, please punish me."

Raising her hand, Chen Luo asked directly: "Where did the disease originate, when did it start, and where has it affected now?"

He spread a map in front of Chen Luo and said, "There are ten places where the disease first appeared. This time, the disease trend is from northwest to southeast."

"With the red line as the axis, 30% of the people are now infected."

"I have sent people to investigate. With the wells at various locations as the axis, the time when all people contract the disease is roughly the same. All those who contract the disease will die within five days at most."

Chen Luo's eyes passed over every well marked as having been poisoned: "Is this poison contagious?"

Based on Chen Luo's understanding of Xia Hong's vicious mind, this poison must be contagious.

"None of the people I questioned had been infected, so the disease was not contagious. Every household ate and drank together, so if one person got sick, no one in the family would be spared."

Hearing this, Chen Luo's heart began to relax a little: "You go to the wells where the incidents occurred to get water first. I want to find the source of the poison first."

From morning till night, jug after jug ​​of water from the poisoned well was retrieved.

Seeing the chickens locked in cages still jumping around after drinking the poisonous well water, Chen Luo knew that the poison in the well was limited. Once the first batch of water was taken out, the rest of the water would no longer be poisonous.

Similarly, Chen Luo will have to watch her people die in front of her eyes because she cannot find the source of the poison.

No, Chen Luo can't recognize it.

She wants to save people, she must keep all the people in Dingxi County alive!

She unfolded the map again, holding in her hand the poisoning time estimation notebook that had just been delivered to her.

The frequency of poisoning has dropped from ten times a day initially to two times a day yesterday.

This step-by-step reduction in poisoning methods is either due to fear of being caught and becoming cautious, or the mission is about to be accomplished and they are preparing to retreat.

Thinking of the secret guards Xia Hong had hired, Chen Luo felt it was the latter.

If she missed tonight, Chen Luo would have no choice but to watch the innocent people in this city die.

"Come here, prepare my horse, I want to leave the house."

Sitting in the carriage, I looked at the map again by candlelight. I closed my eyes, and what emerged in my mind was the layout of the entire city's markets.

With her fingertips falling on the map, Chen Luo selected an address with an increasingly weak voice.

"Go to this well and set up an ambush in advance. The person who poisons the well can be killed, but the poison must be confiscated."

"If the poison cannot be contained, the well must be sealed immediately and the water must be sent back to Luoyuan immediately."

Chen Luo thought about it and picked another location: "You will go there with me."

Thinking too much is harmful to the body. After making these instructions, Chen Luo fed herself two more pills.

The guard beside her saw Chen Luo eating so recklessly, and pursed his lips, but in the end, he didn't say a word of persuasion.

None of them could defeat Chen Luo.

None of them can bear the crime of causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the city!
