Chapter 1283: Smoke Rises 94

hed."Your Majesty, it's time to pay respects to the Dowager Empress."Feng Lingxi responded and looked at the maidservants beside Zhao Mamá. She said softly, "Zhao Mamá, are these maidservants serving...Luo Li was quite surprised by Li Wu Yan's evaluation of Feng Ling Xi. He knew that Feng Ling Xi's medical skills were good, but did he understand this poison so well Li Wu Yan's medical skills, he was very clear about, but to be praised by Li Wu Yan like this, Feng Ling Xi was the first.

"It seems I really underestimated Feng Lingxi."

Luo Li's voice held a hint of frustration. He had spent so many years in the martial arts world and didn't even know this.

Don't you find it strange Before Feng Lingxi married Dugu City, she always portrayed herself as silly and eccentric. Why did she suddenly recover her sanity and possess such incredible medical skills Her way of doing things doesn't resemble a 16-year-old girl at all.

"She must be disguising herself. Yao Wan Ying is a very cunning person. She stole the treasures of our clan, and she was able to hide in the General's Mansion for over ten years and still keep it so well. Do you think her daughter could be any different"

Although Luo Li's words were reasonable, Li Wu Yan didn't feel that way.

"Feng Ling xi bi du geng wo rang gan xi qu."

Li Wuyan quickened his pace. He was very curious to know what had made her understand so much medicine that he didn't, and who had taught her those medical techniques. She had said that her master was a renowned doctor from the Jianghu (martial arts world), but he knew many famous doctors in the Jianghu, yet he had never heard of anyone whose methods were similar to Feng Lingxi's.

"What are you going to do, Seven Days of Madness Cure it or not"

"No need to rush, look at Feng Ling Xi, I have a feeling she'll be able to figure it out."

Luo Li frowned, Wind Ling Xi is this powerful

Is Li Wuyan too trusting of her There's no way she's that capable. He didn't think the poison was simple, and Xin Shui's woman is so vicious. If Feng Lingxi could even cure this poison, he would have to seriously reconsider her skills in poisons.

The night in the mountains in summer is a starlit one, with pleasant weather and not excessive heat.

The soldiers had lit many campfires outside the tents. Feng Lingxi and Lu Nian sat beside one, watching Dugu Cheng who was busy grilling meat. He worried that she hadn't eaten well, so he had roasted a mountain chicken for her to eat.

Lu Nian watched Feng Ling Xi without speaking, her eyes fixed on the sky.

"My parents are arriving soon. When they get here, will you give me some face and introduce us"

"Whether you see the results or not, they are all the same. I won't recognize any of you. This is what my mother means. You tell your parents."

Feng Lingxi held the grass in her hand, tapping it on the ground rhythmically. Her mind was filled with questions from this afternoon's research. She couldn't understand how the formula for the Seven-Day Demon Fever was made.

Why doesn't this poison kill cats and dogs when it's inside their bodies, but instead causes infection and illness after they bite or scratch people

These seven days, the toxicity has been truly frightening.

She knew a lot about infectious diseases, but this one really gave her a headache.

I went through all the remedies for various infectious diseases, concocting each one, but I couldn't determine which one was the right one.

Lu Nian watched her furrowed brow, his eyes filled with worry. "Are you still thinking about the cure for the seven-day madness"

"You tell me about this seven-day madness. Besides what you've said, is there anything else"

Lu Nian thought carefully for a moment, then suddenly patted his leg and said, "I remember now! I heard them say they went to collect a kind of herb called Zi Hua. They said it could relieve the symptoms."

"Purple flowers"

Lu Nian nodded, "I think it's this kind of medicine."

"Is it called 'Purple Ground Ivy'"

Feng Lingxi asked, she remembered that the records once said that Zihuaditing had a bitter, spicy, and cold taste. It returned to the heart and liver meridians. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and reducing swelling, and clearing heat and dampness. It is mainly used to treat boils, carbuncles, lymph nodes, jaundice, dysentery, diarrhea, redness of the eyes, sore throat, and snake bites.

Could it be that the main remedy for this seven-day madness is purple coneflower

"I don't know that, I'm not a doctor after all, how would I know these things."

Lu Nian looked at Feng Ling Xi's slightly narrowed eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

Thank you.

Feng Lingxi thanked him, knowing that with this medicine, she could start here and see how it worked.

"Xi'er, come eat some."

Dugu Cheng walked over with the roasted chicken and sat down beside Feng Ling Xi. Looking at Feng Ling Xi's serious expression, he tore off a drumstick and offered it to her. Feng Ling Xi said thank you but didn't even glance at him, eating silently while thinking.

She's such a hard worker.

Lu Nian stood up and stretched. "It's getting late, let's rest early."

"Xi'er, just do your best. This king will have Ye Xi go back and ask the doctor about a cure for this poison. If there is a way, he will return and report it. Don't worry too much."

Seeing her so worried, and being unable to help, Dugu City felt uncomfortable too.

He can lead troops into battle, but this poison, he truly has no way to deal with it.

"Eat now, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Feng Lingxi looked up and told Dugu City that she had to try the effect of this purple flower ground-nut tomorrow. Even if the ancient people's poison concoction was formidable, there would be a way to resolve it.

The next day, as dawn broke, Feng Lingxi got up and went to the fields to look for purple-flowered ground orchids.

Dugu City woke up and found Feng Lingxi wasn't by his side. He hurriedly got up, dressed himself, and went outside. He saw Feng Lingxi kneeling in the fields and beside the mountains, searching for something, so he frowned and walked towards her.

"Xier, why did you get up so early"

It's getting late, the sky is bright, I am looking for the purple violet.

Wind Ling looked around without raising her head, scanning the area. She had circled it several times but found nothing. It seemed that this place really didn't have the medicinal herbs she was looking for.

What is *Purple Flowering Viola*

Dugu Cheng looked at the weeds on the ground, but he didn't know what they looked like.

"Lu Nian told me about the herbs, saying that he'd heard they could alleviate the symptoms of the Seven Days Madness. I want to give it a try."

Feng Lingxi walked towards the mountainside. There was really nothing there, so she could only go out and look for it.

"What kind of it is Tell this king, and this king will look for it with you."

Purple flowers, with oval leaves clustered together, about ten to twenty centimeters.

Feng Lingxi said a long string of words in one breath, and the people behind Dugu City couldn't understand.

But knowing it's a purple flower makes things much easier.

"We search separately."

Feng Lingxi nodded, trying hard to recall the growth habits of this flower. She was sure it existed here, blooming at this time of year. Unless this mountain village truly didn't have it.

Dugu City leaped down onto the nearby barren field, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He saw a patch of purple flowers in the grass not far away and hurried over, crouching down. "Purple flower, oval leaves... This must be the Zi Hua Di Ding"

Dugu Cheng plucked the flower and, with a light tap of his toes, returned to Feng Lingxi's side.

"Xier, is this it"

Feng Lingxi looked at the purple verbena in Duguxing's hand and nodded with delight.

Where did you get this Do you have any more

"Right over there, but, your Majesty, I just see this one."r to practice and see if she could develop other antidotes.When Dugu Cheng heard that it wasn't for his mother concubine, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was upset again, since it wasn't for...
