The snow-white flower has thick, smooth, oval leaves and six fan-shaped petals. The edges of the petals are pink and gradually turn white towards the stamens, which are light purple.

After Lin Haitang and Gu An left the space, they rushed to Zhanglin County without stopping.

It is winter now, and it is the time when snow flowers bloom. Snow flowers grow on cliffs and are difficult to harvest, so we have to send people to pick them quickly.

The horse was galloping, and snowflakes were flying under its heavy hooves. Gu An, who was on horseback, held Lin Haitang tightly in his arms. The biting cold wind blew in at every opportunity. His cheeks were frozen, but after becoming numb, he didn't feel cold anymore.

The soldiers guarding the gate of Zhanglin County recognized Lin Haitang and Gu An and directly opened the gate to let them in.

Gu An didn't hesitate and rushed directly into the city gate without slowing down at all.

The current situation does not allow them to slow down.

Arriving at the temporary Imperial Medical Bureau, before even dismounting, Lin Haitang shouted, "Masters! Masters!"

Five old men were preparing medicine. When they heard Lin Haitang's voice, they dropped what they were holding in unison and ran out.

Yang Zhiwen took particularly big steps, and with a hint of excitement in his voice, he asked, "Girl, how are you?"

Lin Haitang dismounted quickly and decisively, her face clearly filled with joy. She pulled a piece of paper from her sleeve and unfolded it. On it was a picture of a snow-cold flower. She said, "It's a snow-cold flower! Snow-cold flowers can cure febrile diseases!"

"Snow and cold flower?"

This picture of snowy flowers was painted by Liu Sanyou.

The old gentlemen rushed to stare at the picture of the snowy winter flowers. Yang Zhiwen held the paper in his hand, his eyelids and lips trembling slightly. He raised his head, his eyes moist, and asked, "Really?"

"Really!" Lin Haitang answered confidently, nodded, and gave Yang Zhiwen a firm look.

Xuehanhua is indeed a medicinal herb. Doctors believe it is a good medicine for clearing heat. However, Xuehanhua is difficult to harvest and its yield is not that high. There are many other herbs that can clear heat, so Xuehanhua is generally not used. Therefore, Xuehanhua is not well known, and some doctors don't even know it exists.

The old gentlemen carefully questioned Lin Haitang, saying, "Girl, how did you discover that the Snow Cold Flower can cure febrile diseases?"

Lin Haitang and Gu An exchanged a glance without saying a word. Lin Haitang untied the purse from her waist and carefully poured the purple scorpions inside onto the table. She pointed at them and said, "Master, this is the culprit that caused the febrile disease to break out."

The old gentlemen looked at the scorpion with strange colors, their faces full of surprise and confusion.

They stared at the purple scorpion, knowing it was poisonous and not daring to touch it, so they could only observe it with their heads tilted.

"I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen this kind of scorpion..." Shi Wei sighed and shook his head.

Among the five, Shi Wei is the oldest.

Lin Haitang shook her head slightly and said, "Master, it's no wonder you haven't seen it before. This thing isn't natural. It's been raised by a wizard using witchcraft. Anyone who eats these purple scorpions will contract febrile disease and infect others. The mortality rate is 100%."

The old gentlemen's pupils trembled violently. After a long pause, Yang Zhiwen finally said in a hoarse voice, "You mean, someone is deliberately trying to destroy our Kang Dynasty?"

Lin Haitang nodded solemnly.

"Master, the most urgent thing is to quickly report this intelligence to the court. Also, mobilize troops to pick the Snow-Frost Flowers." Lin Haitang's tone was a little heavy as she added, "Master, we must also inform the higher-ups that the picking of the Snow-Frost Flowers must be done in secret. The person who poisoned us must be watching us from behind. We can't let them know that we've found the antidote."

The old gentlemen nodded solemnly. Yang Zhiwen's mouth was tight as he said, "Girl, don't worry."

Gu An's expression did not get any better after hearing what Liu Sanyou said. He looked up at the gloomy sky worriedly and clenched his fingers slightly.

Lin Haitang had already noticed that something was wrong with Gu An. After returning to the room, she closed the doors and windows and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Gu An frowned and said, "I'm worried that the febrile disease is not limited to Zhanglin County. I'm afraid that many places across the country have been infected as well."

Gu An's worries were right. Xiaohuai Village was just the first experimental field. After Xiaohuai Village, there were countless experimental fields all over Kang Dynasty. In the process of searching for snow-han flowers, febrile diseases broke out in many places in Kang Dynasty, and a large number of people were infected.

However, the snow-white flower was never found, the emperor was furious, the whole country was worried, and countless people's hair turned white overnight.

The only lucky thing is that these people can still be saved and can rely on Lin Haitang's prescription to live longer until the snow-cold flower arrives.

"Cough cough cough..."

In the imperial study, the emperor's muffled coughs continued to be heard. Chen Le, the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, walked in with a steaming bowl of medicine, slightly hunched over.

The emperor was thirty-six years old this year, but because of this febrile disease, he suddenly looked ten years older.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to take your medicine." Chen Le bent his body and raised the medicine bowl above his head.

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. After wiping his lips with a piece of silk, he sighed deeply and said, "Chen Le, I feel ashamed of the people."

Chen Le had served the emperor since he was a child, and he understood that the emperor just wanted to complain and did not need him to answer anything.

The north wind was howling. The emperor walked to the window and just opened it a crack when the strong wind rushed in.

The emperor looked at the snowflakes mixed in the strong wind with a silent expression, but the white hair at his temples showed that he was not so calm.

In just ten days, the emperor's hair turned a lot whiter.

The Snow-Cold Flower has been nowhere to be found. Lin Haitang and Gu An have been unable to eat or drink properly. More than half a month has passed, and they haven't found a single Snow-Cold Flower.

Today, Lin Haitang checked the conditions of everyone in Zhanglin County as usual. He looked up at the cold and clear sky. The sky was beautiful blue and the clouds looked exactly like those in cartoons. If it weren't for the febrile disease, Lin Haitang would like this kind of weather the most.

"Gu An, I can't stand it anymore. I can't just sit there and wait like this. Let's go find the Snow-Frost Flowers together." Lin Haitang scratched her hair, looking like she was going crazy: "I don't believe that those people can take away all the Snow-Frost Flowers in the Kang Dynasty. There must be some Snow-Frost Flowers they haven't found."

I have to say that the people on the other side were very well prepared and did not even let go of the Snow Cold Flower. During this period of time, the court had released countless people, but no one brought back even a single Snow Cold Flower.

"If I can find one, I can save the lives of all the people in Kang Dynasty." Lin Haitang said gritting his teeth.

Gu An has not had a good time recently. He has gone out to look for the snow-cold flower countless times, but to no avail. After learning that warm diseases have also appeared in other places, he has not slept well.

Gu An took Lin Haitang's hand and pulled her into his arms. He laid on top of her and sighed deeply, saying, "Okay."

Just like that, Lin Haitang and Gu An got on their horses again and gradually disappeared on the winding road.
