The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 277 Roots

Yongning Hou looked at him and saw that he could actually stand up. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled and teased:

"You are injured, why don't you lie on the couch and stand without fear of pain?"

Seeing this, Li Laile stood up straight, and then looked at Yongning Hou. With clear eyes, he felt the wound on his left abdomen, where he had applied the golden wound medicine he had prepared long ago. It was still painful from time to time. He pursed his lips slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he opened his mouth and said:

"External injuries are minor, but internal injuries are difficult to deal with."

When Yongning Hou heard this, his eyebrows jumped. He was surprised and curious about the meaning of Li Laile's words. If there were internal injuries, then the doctor should have seen it when he took the pulse. This made him very curious, so he asked:

"What internal injuries do you have?"

Li Laile said with a relaxed look: "Poisoned."

Yongning Hou frowned, with a look of suspicion on his face: "Poisoned? You don't look like you've been poisoned. Moreover, a day has passed and there's no sign of the poison taking effect. Unless it's a chronic poison."

Li Laile naturally knew what he was suspicious of. After hearing what he said, Li Laile didn't care. He just turned around calmly and said in a lighter tone:

"Of course it's not a slow-acting poison. On the contrary, it's a strong one. The villain who poisoned me hates me so much that even this poison is from Qianqiu He, a famous poison in the martial arts world."

When Yongning Hou heard the three words "Qian Qiuhe", his eyes flashed, and he obviously knew how toxic it was. He frowned even more tightly and asked:

"It is said that there is no medicine to cure Qianqiuhe. You..." He did not continue the rest of the sentence. Obviously, he did not know how to say it. After all, according to rumors in the martial arts world, people who are poisoned by Qianqiuhe usually lose their lives. Even Yongning Hou, who did not pay much attention to the affairs of the martial arts world, knew a lot about this poison. Moreover, he had seen people die from the poison here before.

This poison has a certain slow-down period. It takes two hours for the poison to take effect, and then the person will die within half a quarter of an hour.

But looking at the reaction of the man in front of him, it has been more than two hours since yesterday. If he was really poisoned by Qianqiu He, Li Laile would have died of the poison and was lying on the couch now, instead of talking to him like he is now. This guy doesn't look like someone who was poisoned by Qianqiu He at all.

"Generally speaking, Qianqiuhe has no antidote, but that was in the past. Now that I'm poisoned, I have to find a way to detoxify. I've been thinking about it all day. Now I just need to make the antidote, but I'm still short of herbs. The reason I haven't been poisoned yet is entirely thanks to the life-slowing pills I prepared earlier. I took a few before, and now I only have three left."

At the end, the man's unchanging tone finally showed some changes, and there was a hint of regret in his tone.

Look at what this person said. If he hadn't been poisoned, then Qian Qiu He would have remained incurable and harmed others. Now that he was poisoned, there was an antidote.

After hearing what he said, Yongning Hou showed a dull look on his face. Then, as if he finally reacted, he opened his eyes wide, raised his voice slightly, and said in disbelief:

"There is no cure for Qian Qiu He's poison, but you said you spent a day figuring out how to cure it?!"

Li Laile tried to correct him and added: "That is when there are medicinal herbs. This poison can be cured. Now I am penniless and can't even buy the most basic medicinal herbs. I can't even afford the medicinal herbs, so how can there be an antidote?"

Yongning Hou recovered and listened to his words. It was what he had expected, but the thing that the City Lord's Mansion lacked the least now was medicinal materials. He could provide them to Li Laile, but he couldn't let himself suffer a loss.

Hearing Li Laile say that he could easily figure out how to detoxify a poison that was famous in the martial arts world and was said to have no antidote within one day, it can be concluded from this point alone that this man named Li Laile must be a doctor, perhaps even a miracle doctor with superb medical skills.

Marquis Yongning thought about how many famous miracle doctors there were in the world. However, after thinking again and again, he realized that he only knew of one or two miracle doctors, and they were both old and lived in seclusion in the mountains.

He looked up at the young man in front of him. Even though he knew in his heart that this man was a doctor, he still asked him knowingly: "Are you a doctor?"

Li Laile raised his eyebrows and nodded in response.

"You still need medicinal herbs now, so can you show me the list of herbs you have prepared earlier?"

Yongning Hou asked.

Li Laile smiled and didn't say anything. He just turned around and walked to the couch. Then he looked at the medicinal prescription that he had thrown on the pillow, reached out to take it, and then turned around and handed the prescription in his hand to Yongning Hou. Seeing that he lowered his eyes and looked at the prescription carefully after taking it, he curled his lips.

He thought that if they hadn't saved his life, how could he, Li Laile, have come to deal with the plague in Nanyu City? He hated owing people things the most, let alone now he owed them a life. Besides, he really needed help from others. After all, except here, medicinal herbs in other places were almost impossible to buy, or those that could be bought might have been contaminated with diseases, and were really not safe to use. The medicinal herbs in the City Lord's Mansion were better.

Marquis Yongning looked at the medicinal herbs written on the prescription, then thought about the City Lord's Mansion and the medicinal herbs that the emperor had prepared for them when he came here, and thought to himself, what a coincidence, he has all the medicinal herbs here.

He was calculating in his mind, and then he returned the prescription to Li Laile, coughed lightly, and asked politely with a smile in his eyes: "Since Brother Li can research the antidote for Qianqiu He, it naturally shows that his medical skills are superb. As for the herbs in these prescriptions, don't worry, our City Lord's Mansion happens to have these herbs, but there is no free lunch in the world. I believe Brother Li has also seen the situation in Nanyu City. The plague is raging, and the people are getting sick one by one. Now City Lord Zhang is worried about the plague every day. Everyone hopes that the plague can end as soon as possible and return peace to Nanyu City. However, the plague came strangely and lingeringly. More than ten days have passed, and still no doctor can solve the root cause of the plague. They have only developed inhibitory drugs and prescriptions to suppress infection."

Having said this, Yongning Hou paused, raised his eyes to look at Li Laile's expression, and saw that his face did not change, but his eyes showed a serious expression. He smiled faintly and said:

"Brother Li needs medicinal herbs now, but what we in the City Lord's Mansion need is talents. I wonder if Brother Li is willing to join us and solve the problem of the plague together?"
