The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

"This is the incense bag and the colorful rope I sewed. I wish my third brother a happy Dragon Boat Festival."

Ye Lansheng looked at the incense bags and colorful ropes on the tray, and his previous unhappiness disappeared instantly.

The royal blue cloth is embroidered with magnolia flowers, without too much decoration, simple and elegant.

"The herbs inside can repel mosquitoes, and can help you sleep if you put it next to your pillow at night."

"Thank you, sister Xin. Have a good rest. I'll come to see you again in a few days."

"Okay, third brother."

After Ye Lansheng left, Nangong Ziqiu sat down beside the bed, still with worry in his eyes.

It seemed that seeing Hua Xin didn't want to say more, he didn't ask even if he wanted to.

"Want to get some sleep?"

Hua Xin originally wanted to say that she didn't want to sleep, but lying down was quite comfortable, so she simply nodded and said, "Yeah, I feel weak all over, so I'd better take a nap."

"Will the inner strength recover on its own? Or is there anything I can do to help?"

Hua Xin held Nangong Ziqiu's hand and explained, "You should go and rest too! I'm just suffering from the effects of the medicine. I'll be fine once the effects wear off."

Nangong Ziqiu misunderstood what he heard: "Who gave you the medicine? What medicine was it? Can't you solve it yourself? You'd better go to the operating room!"

Hua Xin patted the back of Nangong Ziqiu's hand.

"How can it be so serious? It's not that someone drugged me, but I took Qingfeng Yulu Pills and my own antidote, and the interaction between the two caused the internal strength to disappear temporarily."

"Qingfeng Yulu Pill?"

The only person in the Prime Minister's Mansion who has this kind of medicine must be the one in the southeast courtyard.

"You healed him, but he ended up causing you to lose all your internal energy?" Nangong Ziqiu almost ran over to settle the score with Song Guanqing.

"Don't get so excited, he doesn't know I took the antidote."

"Antidote? Are you poisoned?"

Nangong Ziqiu realized it later and immediately felt that he was not careful enough. He did not even notice that Hua Xin was poisoned.

His eyes fell on the back of her other hand, and the purple marks were still there.

"Were you bitten by a snake? Are there snakes in the mansion?"

Nangong Ziqiu didn't wait for Hua Xin to speak, and said, "You take a good rest. I'll go find the housekeeper to catch the snake together. It turned out to be a poisonous snake. It's really incredible."

"Hey!"

Hua Xin saw a figure rushing out like flying, and she couldn't stop it even if she shouted.

But she also has to be careful. Now is the season when snakes, insects, rats and ants are rampant. If she gets bitten without realizing it, it will definitely be dangerous. There are so many people in the mansion!

So at Nangong Ziqiu's call, Steward Li led the entire mansion to sprinkle realgar powder everywhere.

When Hua Xin found out, she realized she was wrong. In fact, snakes are not afraid of realgar powder at all, but alkaloids.

There are thousands of alkaloids, which are synthesized from different amino acids or their direct derivatives.

For example, aconitine in Chuanwu and Caowu; triptolide in Tripterygium wilfordii and Malus kunmingensis are all types of alkaloids.

Alkaloids mainly exist in plants in nature. They are nitrogen-containing alkaline organic compounds, also called pseudoalkalis.

This substance has a ring structure and reacts with acid to form salt, but it is insoluble in water and tastes bitter, which is irreparable harm to cold-blooded snakes.

In addition, there is Datura. Snakes have strong reactions to these alkaloids, showing fearful behavior and running away when they smell it from a distance. However, Datura is poisonous and is not usually planted in gardens.

There is also a kind of neem alkaloids, which comes from the bark and fruit of the neem tree, and is a natural plant extract.

It can inhibit the toxins of specific enzymes of snakes, stimulate the olfactory system of snakes, make them feel weak and have difficulty breathing, and thus achieve the purpose of driving them away.

At the same time, the strong fragrance of neem flowers will make snakes feel uncomfortable and dare not approach. Neem fruit itself is also a natural insecticide. (From the Internet, thank you!)

In order to drive away snakes, Hua Xin asked Butler Li to buy some Datura and chinaberry trees to plant. Even if they cannot be used this year, they can be used next year. However, they need special people to take care of them on a daily basis. He also reminded everyone not to get close to them easily.

The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival. Hua Xin could not go to the palace, but Hua Yuxing and Hua Moxuan had to go, so only Nangong Ziqiu and Song Guanqing were left to spend the New Year with her in the mansion.

When she saw Song Guanqing again, Hua Xin subconsciously looked at his lips.

She didn't expect the other person's lips to be so soft and delicious. Even though she had only fed him medicine yesterday, she could still savor it endlessly.

It has to be said that the cold and aloof gods are more domineering than ordinary mortals when they come down to earth.

She really didn't expect that he would feed her the medicine himself yesterday.

Look, he is just sitting in a wheelchair covered with a white veil, with his lips slightly pursed and a calm face. How can he be associated with his appearance yesterday?

It happened that Ye Lansheng saw it at such an embarrassing moment.

The scene yesterday was too chaotic, and perhaps Ye Lansheng couldn't think of anything, but when he calmed down and reviewed it, he would find that everything about yesterday's scene was wrong.

Hua Xin didn't have time to think about these things, because things had already happened and she couldn't turn back time.

Everyone in the mansion is celebrating the New Year, so the dishes tonight are very rich.

Hua Xin didn't want Chunqin and the others to serve her. Since everyone was celebrating the New Year together, they could just eat together.

However, there were only five people at the main table: Hua Xin, Nangong Ziqiu, Song Guanqing, Bai Zhu and Bai Mi.

The rest of the people sat at other tables.

Hua Xin's internal strength has recovered, and she went into the operating room in the middle of the night for an expedited period. Otherwise, it would be a bit unreasonable that she would still be weak during the New Year.

Nangong Ziqiu was very happy that she recovered, while Song Guanqing was surprised at her recovery ability.

"No one should drink alcohol. I asked the kitchen to prepare some juice. You can try it and see if you can drink it. If you are not used to it, you can drink tea."

Hua Xin asked someone to prepare apple juice. Apple is warm in nature and has the functions of promoting salivation, moistening the lungs, relieving restlessness, relieving heat, stimulating appetite and sobering up. Generally speaking, it is good for people.

"This is... apple flavor." Nangong Ziqiu took the first sip and it tasted pretty good.

"Yes!"

Hua Xin took a glance and saw that Nangong Ziqiu and Song Guanqing both had colorful ropes on their wrists. This discovery made her smile knowingly.

I originally thought they wouldn't wear them, but I didn't expect them to wear them today just to suit the occasion.

"Miss, I'll toast you a glass."

Yan Youzhi came over with a glass of juice, and his face turned red after he finished speaking. It was obvious that he had done a lot of mental preparation to come to Hua Xin.

Yan, who was sitting in her seat, was sweating for him, fearing that her son would displease Hua Xin. Although such a situation would basically not happen, she couldn't help but worry!

"It's Youzhi! Come, let's toast, and have a happy Dragon Boat Festival!"

When Hua Xin saw that Yan Youzhi was also wearing a colorful rope on his wrist, she noticed that she didn't have one on her wrist. This wouldn't do; she couldn't be without one.
