First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Now the entire Wei Mansion is in the open, while those who want Wei Ling dead are in the dark, so even if martial law is imposed, Su Jixiang and Guihua and others dare not take it lightly.

The reason why Guihua agreed to come out with Su Jixiang so quickly was because Wei Ling had previously instructed her that if he fell into a coma, the secret guards in the mansion would obey Su Jixiang's orders.

It can be said that Wei Ling trusts Su Jixiang very much.

But there was nothing to disbelieve. After all, when Su Jixiang was in the palace, she handled several things that Wei Ling thought were very appropriate. She even took Qu Wanning out of the palace alone. Although she was only one step away from leaving the palace... but to be able to do so in the midst of a chaotic army without any help, it was already very impressive!

He admired people like Su Jixiang who were brave and resourceful, no matter whether they were men or women. What's more, Su Jixiang was his wife, the one he had chosen, so he gave this order to the secret guards.

Su Jixiang and Guihua arrived at the back door of Zhou Ziqi's house. Guihua gave a secret signal, and the secret guards who had been hiding in Zhou Ziqi's house to protect him came over and opened the back door.

"Doctor Zhou, our lady wants to see you." The secret guard went forward to report.

"Please ask her to come in." Zhou Ziqi had been up all night, his eyes were a little red, and his voice sounded a little tired.

He knew that there were people arranged by Wei Ling to protect him at home, so he didn't mind.

After all, if something happened to him at this time, it would mean that Wei Ling would be close to death.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that no one came to disturb him to prepare the medicine last night. Now he has figured out the properties of the poison. Guihua brought back several poisonous arrows for him to study.

The next step is to prescribe medicine based on the toxicity.

Zhou Ziqi was very confident this time, and could be said to have it all planned out. After all, he had a few ice-blue lotus calyxes to cooperate with him, so the antidote would definitely work.

Su Jixiang was carried into Zhou Ziqi's medicine room.

"Mrs. Wei, you've come just in time." Zhou Ziqi was startled when he saw Su Jixiang, but when Su Jixiang said it was a disguise, he nodded. "I was looking for someone to help me make medicine."

"Me?" Su Jixiang was stunned and pointed at himself.

"If you hadn't come, I would have been busy until the afternoon. But there is one ingredient in this antidote that requires very strict control of the temperature." Zhou Ziqi said, "If you hadn't come, I would have had to do it myself. Now that you're here, I can speed it up. If nothing goes wrong, it will be ready in an hour!"

"What if I can't master it well?" Su Jixiang shook his head quickly when he heard it.

"Don't worry, you are such a good cook, I think you have mastered the control of the fire, which should be better than mine. I will tell you when to use high heat and when to use low heat. You should be more precise than me." Zhou Ziqi said, "I can do other things while you are watching the fire."

Su Jixiang...

When it comes to controlling the temperature, she is indeed the best.

But this is medicine.

"If I burn it, do we have any spare ones?" Su Jixiang asked cautiously.

"Yes. It just takes longer." Zhou Ziqi said confidently. "Don't be afraid. Even if I do it, it may not be successful in one go."

That's why he told Wei Ling that it would be in the morning at the earliest and in the evening at the latest.

It’s a question of controlling the temperature.

In case of failure, this part will have to be done again, wasting time.

Although Zhou Ziqi can make medicine, he is not good at controlling the heat. In his opinion, only those who can cook like Su Jixiang are true masters of controlling the heat.

Su Jixiang felt relieved when he heard this.

There was also a spare one, so she had peace of mind.

If there was only one batch of raw materials left, she would be a little hesitant to start...

Zhou Ziqi took out a portion of light blue liquid medicine and handed it to Su Jixiang. "Use high heat first. When the liquid medicine becomes clear, immediately turn down the heat and boil it until it turns slightly brown and small bubbles appear. Then add this liquid medicine in. You have to be careful. It only turns white for a short moment. You have to move the jar to low heat immediately. If you wait a little longer, the medicine will turn back to color."

"I understand." Su Jixiang held the jar of blue medicine as if he was holding Wei Ling's life.

"When small bubbles appear, there is only a blink of an eye. Otherwise, they will turn into big bubbles. It will be too late to add medicine after they turn into big bubbles!" Zhou Ziqi said.

"I understand this too!" Su Jixiang said, "What kind of bubbles are they?"

Zhou Ziqi...how should he describe what kind of bubbles?

"Let me describe it this way. It's definitely not boiling, but it's emitting bubbles the size of rice grains, right?" Su Jixiang changed the way he put it.

Zhou Ziqi thought about it and said, "Yes!"

"Okay, now I completely understand it!" said Su Jixiang.

"Then I'll give this to you first!" Zhou Ziqi said, "There are a few charcoal stoves over there, go and get the charcoal ready first."

Su Jixiang looked over and saw that there were indeed several charcoal stoves placed by the window.

She first tested the strength of the charcoal fire by boiling water, and when it was adjusted to the intensity she was satisfied with, she carefully put the liquid medicine on.

Zhou Ziqi went to prepare other medicine.

The high fire soon boiled the medicine liquid. Su Jixiang did not dare to relax. He stared closely and dared not even blink.

Sure enough, after boiling for a while, the medicine liquid suddenly turned white.

Su Jixiang was quick to pick up the white cloth he had prepared in advance, put the small pot under it, and then carefully placed it on the second stove with less charcoal.

"Is this right?" she asked when she was done.

Zhou Ziqi put down the medicine in his hand and walked over to take a look. He couldn't help but look at Su Jixiang with approval, "Great, you succeeded in one try. You have to keep an eye on the next things."

The liquid medicine was boiling now. Su Jixiang understood what Zhou Ziqi meant. He wanted to wait until the liquid medicine was boiled to a viscous state and then small bubbles would appear. This was just like the syrup used to make candied haws.

It is only when it is boiled to that degree that tiny bubbles will appear all over the pot. The sugar is boiled at the best time. If it is boiled past this time, the sugar will be ruined!

Su Jixiang has experience in making the syrup for making candied haws, so she thinks this should not be difficult.

As expected by Su Jixiang, this thing was really slowly drying up and becoming thicker, and then small bubbles gradually appeared at the bottom of the pot.

At this time, Su Jixiang poured the other medicine Zhou Ziqi gave her into her!

A medicinal fragrance suddenly emerged from the pot!
