In the evening, Su Manman returned to the Su Mansion.

As soon as she entered Nishang Courtyard, Taohong told her everything about Master Wu coming to take her pulse.

Taohong was worried. "Mr. Wu finished taking my pulse and looked embarrassed. Could it be that there's something wrong with my wife's condition?"

Su Manman returned to the bedside, took the patient's pulse, and after a careful examination, she stopped.

She understood that Wu Xiaowen must have found out from taking her mother's pulse that her condition was critical and she might not live long.

So, let her go find him.

but……

There is no point in looking for him. The only way now is to refine the antidote as quickly as possible.

"Shuqi, Shujian, please help put the Ice Stone into the box. I will take it away later."

"Yes!"

The two of them found a box made of special material, put the ice stone in it, and carried it out.

Taohong said worriedly, "Miss, there is no ice stone for Madam's illness..."

"In three days, young lady, I will definitely make an antidote."

"Taohong, spring flowers, autumn moon, wishful thinking, for the next three days, you must guard Nishang Courtyard without moving an inch."

"Yes," the five of them agreed in unison.

Su Manman looked at Madam Li and said, "Madam, they are young and there are many rules in the mansion. Madam Li will need to help them."

"Yes!"

"Girl, then you..."

Nanny Li asked worriedly, "Where to go..."

"I'm going to find an antidote for my mother."

"girl,"

Taohong made a mistake and walked over with her head lowered, whispering, "Master Wu suddenly came to Nishang Courtyard today. I didn't keep an eye on him, and his followers saw the flame water lilies growing by the windowsill."

"I'm not sure if he can recognize it."

Su Manman pondered for a moment, "If he had come here for this reason in the past few days..."

Su Manman explained and Taohong nodded repeatedly.

It was completely dark. Su Manman and Qingluan went out in the dark, and Zhao Dashan was waiting at the side door.

After getting on the carriage, she felt so sleepy that she lay down on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.

The carriage swayed all the way as it headed out of the city.

On the roof beam, Zhuiyun looked at the direction the carriage left, confused.

There is a situation.

He gave a signal and asked others to follow him, while he hurried to Prince Qi's mansion to report.

Inside the study, Ye Mo saw Zhui Yun suddenly appear. He put down the documents in his hand and said coldly, "What happened?"

"Miss Su, carry the Ice Stone and go out."

"Going out?" Ye Mo tapped the table with his fingers.

She asked him for the ice stone to detoxify her mother.

Now, why is the Ice Stone not being used but moved somewhere else?

What on earth is she going to do?

When he was at a loss for words, a thunderous roar suddenly resounded throughout the palace outside the study.

Then someone shouted, "There's a fire, hurry, there's a fire."

Ye Mo stood up and looked under the eaves. It was the location of Wu Xiaowen's pharmacy.

"Damn it!"

He couldn't help but curse and ran over there quickly.

Fire spewed out of the windows of the alchemy room, and the raging flames burned half of the room, and thick smoke rose up.

Seeing the situation, the guards picked up buckets of water and tried their best to put out the fire.

"Where is Wu Xiaowen?"

Unable to find Wu Xiaowen, Ye Mo said coldly, "Where is Wu Xiaowen?"

"The young master is still inside."

Yun Shi, the medicine boy, rushed over with a dark face and cried, "The young master was refining medicine when the medicine cauldron suddenly exploded and caught fire."

"Someone, come and save him!" When Ye Mo heard that Wu Xiaowen was still in the house, he was so anxious that his eyes were bloodshot. Without thinking too much, he rushed in alone.

"Your Highness!"

Zhuiyun caught up with him, and just as they reached the door, a huge force hit them and the whole door was blown over.

Wu Xiaowen rushed out with a brocade box in his arms.

As soon as he got out of the door and escaped to a place without smoke and dust, he gasped for breath and said, "I was scared to death."

"Quick, bring some cold water."

He threw the bronze mask with fangs on his face to the ground, snatched the wooden barrel from someone's hand, and stuffed his entire head into the cold water in the barrel.

The others poured cold water on him to extinguish the small sparks on his body.

After holding his breath for a while, Wu Xiaowen finally stuck his head out, touched his face lovingly with both hands, and looked back at Ye Mo, "My face, how is my face?"

"Someone, bring me a mirror."

Someone hurriedly brought a mirror.

He held up the mirror, looked left and right, and touched his face again and again. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness, my handsome face has been saved."

Seeing that he was fine, Ye Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Wu Xiaowen's snow-white brocade robe was stained with stains. The shock wave generated by the explosion blew his brocade robe into strips and charred it black, leaving him with no trace of his usual image as a handsome young man.

"What's going on?" Ye Mo asked him, "Are you planning to burn down my Prince Qi's Mansion?"

After Wu Xiaowen recovered from the shock, he exclaimed, "Ye Mo, Miss Su's words have come true."

He picked up the ghost mask on the ground and waved it, "If it weren't for it, I would be disfigured today!"

"She's truly amazing. She's predicted everything that's happened recently. Could it be that she really knows how to tell fortunes?"

Wu Xiaowen was amazed. "At first, I thought five hundred taels of silver was too much for her to tell fortunes once, but now that I've calculated it, it's not much at all!"

"Where's Zhuifeng?"

Wu Xiaowen suddenly realized, "She said that Zhuifeng will have a bloody disaster soon, related to going to the toilet and having contact with wild beasts. Could it be that this will come true?"

Ye Mo also remembered and turned around to ask, "Where is the Wind Chaser?"

"Your Highness," a guard bowed and reported, "This morning, we discovered news of Wang Er. Guard Zhuifeng and Guard Jin have left the city to arrest him."

"Where to go?"

"The dense forests of the green hills west of the city."

"Good boy, chasing the wind."

Wu Xiaowen wiped the water stains off his face and said, "I warned him to be careful, but he wasn't afraid at all!"

"Go, bring more people with you and ensure the safety of Zhuifeng's guards." Ye Mo gave the order.

"Yes!" Zhuiyun took the order and left.

The servants continued to put out the fire. Wu Xiaowen recovered, picked up the brocade box on the ground and opened it carefully.

A plant of Flame Water Lily was missing some petals and leaves, and the dried medicinal herbs were shattered after being impacted.

Wu Xiaowen looked frustrated. He crouched down slowly while holding the brocade box. "This Flame Water Lily flower is used as medicine. It's too powerful. The medicine cauldron couldn't withstand the power of the flames, so it exploded."

"Fortunately, I only picked some petals and leaves for medicinal purposes, so there's still a little left..."

"pity……"

Wu Xiaowen wanted to touch it but didn't dare. "The whole herb is damaged. Even if I start refining it and use it as medicine, I'm afraid the effect will not be as good as before."

The unprecedented sense of frustration made Wu Xiaowen breathless.

"To think that our dignified Wu family, the young master of Huichun Hall, was actually stumped by a single medicinal herb, what a failure!"

Yun Shi, who had been guarding Wu Xiaowen's side, looked at Yan Linghua in the brocade box. He looked at her again and again in the candlelight and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, I've seen this medicinal herb before."

"Of course you have seen it!"

Wu Xiaowen said dejectedly, "Isn't it in the brocade box now?"

Yunshi shook his head. "It's not this one. I saw a living one in a flowerpot."

"how is this possible?"

Wu Xiaowen retorted, "As a medicine boy of Huichuntang, you should be aware of the growth habits of the Flame Linghua. How could it grow in a flowerpot?"

"perhaps……"

Yunshi touched the back of his head and stammered, "Maybe I saw it wrong."

"Sister Taohong treated it like a treasure. I looked at it a few more times and she panicked and covered it with gauze."

"Who are you talking about?"

Ye Mo and Wu Xiaowen said almost in unison.

"Sister Taohong."

Yun Shi said seriously, "Today I accompanied the young master to Nishang Courtyard for a consultation. While I was waiting in the courtyard, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the potted flowers on the windowsill. They looked familiar."

"I walked over and wanted to take a closer look, but Sister Taohong blocked my view and even covered her face with a veil in panic."

Ye Mo and Wu Xiaowen looked at each other, and a line of words flashed through their minds, "She has more than one Flame Diamond Flower."
