Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

When Mo Ye heard that the herbal soup might turn into a deadly soup, his expression turned grim. "Is there a problem with the people drinking it now?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Ye, you really care about the people. Has Emperor Dongli's eyes been blinded? He doesn't love his own son who loves the people like his own children, but instead loves those who are wicked and never grow up."

Mo Ye gently tapped Yang Jianwu's forehead. "Naughty girl, be careful what you say. After all, he is my father. Shouldn't you consider my feelings?"

Yang Jianwu pretended to think for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll be more respectful next time."

In his mind, he criticized Emperor Dongli from beginning to end, saying he had no taste whatsoever.

"You don't need to worry too much. As long as the patient doesn't increase the amount of poison, there won't be any major problems."

"That's good." If Xiao Wu'er says so, then she must be right.

"Brother Ye, it will be dark soon. Are you planning to see the prefect tonight?"

Mo Ye was focused on resolving the poisoning issue as quickly as possible. The dosage of the medicine could be increased at any time, and the poison would remain a hidden danger if it wasn't cured. "Hmm, go meet with them, understand the situation, and also sound them out. If possible, arrange for the people to be detoxified as soon as possible."

Yang Jianwu looked around and pulled Mo Ye to a secluded corner. "Brother Ye, now that you know the people have been poisoned, you must catch the poisoner and find out who is behind it."

Mo Ye clenched his fists, wishing he could kill them right now. "I will not let them get away with this! They sacrificed the lives of the people. Whatever they do is unforgivable!"

Yang Jianwu pinched the bridge of his nose. "Brother, didn't you think that if we detoxify now, it's easy to alert the enemy, and the person who poisoned us will only hide the clues more thoroughly?"

Mo Ye understood Yang Jianwu's thoughts. "Right now, it's just the two of us who have come to Lucheng. We can't completely trust the people around Prefect Feng. Sending people to investigate this matter will also let the person behind it know. Since they're going to find out anyway, let's minimize the damage and get rid of the poison first before making any further plans."

Yang Jianwu was exasperated and punched Mo Ye on the shoulder, "Are you stupid? Can't you investigate by yourself? You have hands and feet, can't you rely on yourself!"

Mo Ye rubbed the spot where he had been hit, somewhat helplessly, "Xiao Wu'er, the two of us can't monitor everyone all the time, so how are we supposed to investigate? Even if we could monitor several people at the same time, Lu City is such a large area, and before we can find out anything, Prince Rui will arrive."

"What do you do, sister? Ah~ that~ slip of the tongue, who am I? I'm a doctor that even the old ghost doctor has to curry favor with. I have a very keen sense of smell, and I can identify where poison is hidden by its scent. This kind of poison requires a continuous increase in dosage to be fatal. As long as the conspiracy behind it is not over, they will send someone to poison us again. Let's walk around now and see if we can find the person carrying the poison. If we can't find them, we'll wait by the water source."

Mo Ye's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Great idea, Xiao Wu'er, you're amazing! Meeting you is truly my greatest fortune."

Yang Jianwu wasn't embarrassed at all by the praise. Normally, she had to maintain the demeanor of a well-bred young lady in front of others, but Mo Ye knew her true nature and there was no need for her to pretend anymore. The smug expression she had now was just what someone her age should have.

Thanks to the space's automatic object recognition function, I've gained the ability to identify medicines by smell. While this function is great, each activation costs five medical points, and it only lasts for six hours at a time. Alas, in these extraordinary times, I have to keep it running constantly; I wonder how many precious medical points I'll lose...

Yang Jianwu secretly resolved that after returning home, she must consolidate her pharmacological knowledge and learn more from the old man, for genuine knowledge and skills are the most practical.

"Let's go to the woods over there and change our clothes. We're too eye-catching in this outfit."

The two were not dressed in bright colors, but the fabric was of very high quality, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were not patients with the epidemic.

Upon arriving in the woods, Yang Jianwu took out two sets of coarse men's clothing from her spatial storage, tossed one set to Mo Ye, and then went deeper into the woods to change. Her figure, appearing and disappearing in the shadows, stirred up all sorts of fantasies.

Mo Ye shook his head; now was not the time to let his mind wander. He looked away and quickly changed his clothes.

Yang Jianwu changed into men's clothing and made some changes to his face. When going out, it's safest to look like a man.

Mo Ye turned around only after hearing the rustling sound, and the person in front of him had already transformed into the appearance he had when he first met Yang Jian...

"you……"

Yang Jianwu tidied her hair with her hands. "You're making a fuss over nothing. You haven't seen how I do Luo Li's female makeup. It's absolutely stunning. It's just that female makeup takes too long. It always takes at least half an hour."

"You two have such a great relationship..." someone said with a hint of jealousy, but unfortunately, the woman didn't catch it...

“He’s my brother, and Aunt Jiang has helped me a lot over the years, so I can’t treat her child too badly.”

Mo Ye grew up in the royal family and had a strong sense of hierarchy. His change in feelings occurred after he met Yang Jianwu. In his eyes, Luo Li and Jiang Shi were both servants, and Xiao Wu'er was too kind to them.

“You pay them a salary every month, so it’s only right that they work for you. Being too nice to them will make them forget their job.”

Mo Ye's words made sense, but he had gotten used to being with them over the years and couldn't change his ways in a day or two. So he decided to leave it at that for now. One of Yang Jianwu's principles for dealing with people was that she would not offend others unless they offended her, but if they did, she would kill them to the end. As long as they did not betray her, there was nothing wrong with getting along like this.

The best way to avoid answering questions is to change the subject. "Brother Ye, let's set off now that it's dark and we won't attract attention."

"Okay." Let's get down to business first, and we can correct it slowly later. Don't think he can't see through it; Xiao Wu'er is doing it on purpose.

Just as Mo Ye was about to turn around, Yang Jianwu called out to him again. When he turned around, he was greeted by a pair of black hands... with a "smack" on his face... Without even looking, there were now two black claw marks on his face...

Yang Jianwu waved her black claws. "Your face is too pale. Lucheng isn't big; you can count the number of delicate-skinned young masters on one hand. If you don't change your face, you won't look like an ordinary person..."

Mo Ye was speechless. "Xiao Wu'er, you could sit down and spend half an hour carefully changing my makeup."

Yang Jianwu awkwardly wiped her hands. Honestly, she was still fussing over it. "Oh dear, we're ordinary people now, and we're even suffering from the plague. We don't need to be clean and tidy; being a little disheveled is just right. Look how quickly this changes our makeup, it doesn't waste any time at all..."

The more she explained, the weaker and more feeble her words became. Finally, the woman stopped explaining altogether, put her hands on her hips, and resolutely refused to admit her mistake. "I did it on purpose, so what?"
