The guard looked sad: "My lord has been in coma for two days, what else do you want to report?"

"what!"

Nan Xi was shocked and wanted to rush inside.

The guards and the people tried to stop him, but they couldn't stop him at all.

Shaoyao and Hanlian opened the way, Xia Rui flew forward and kicked open the county government door.

"Where is my brother's bedroom?" Nan Xi asked as he walked.

Those guards were quite stubborn and vowed not to tell anyone, as if they could protect Murong Ce.

Li Qingmo dodged over, pinched the guard's throat, and lifted him up, his eyes as cold as frost falling on his face.

Ask: "Where?"

The fingers tightened tighter and tighter.

The guard felt the approach of death and quickly pointed in the direction.

Nan Xi walked over quickly.

Peony and lotus were guarding them.

When they arrived at the backyard, Nan Xi no longer needed to ask anyone.

The strong medicinal smell was enough to serve as a guide, and she followed the medicinal smell to find Murong Ce's room.

When I opened the door, in addition to the smell of medicine, there was also a rotten smell.

She frowned and took out three pills.

I ate one myself and gave the remaining two to peony and lotus.

Then he went in.

Nan Xi looked around.

This room is not big.

As the bedroom of a county magistrate in a city, it is a bit shabby.

Except for a table, a bed, and a box for clothes, there was nothing else.

Not even a pot of flowers.

This room was not half as big as Murong Ce's room in the Marquis Mansion.

The curtains on the bed should be gray, but they have been washed too many times and are a little white.

The bedding was even patched, it was midsummer at this time, but Murong Ce was covered tightly, his brows were furrowed in his sleep, and his body was shaking constantly, as if he was very cold.

As he got closer, he could see the pustules on Murong Ce's face. The pustules were bleeding and had a pungent stench.

"elder brother?"

Nan Xi called out.

There was no reaction from the person on the bed.

She stepped forward to check his pulse and found that there were pustules on his hands and arms.

"Master, is it smallpox?" Shaoyao asked.

She was a little worried.

Smallpox is contagious and fatal.

If it is really smallpox, it is best to let the master avoid it first.

Nan Xi shook his head: "It's very similar, but not."

She lifted the quilt.

"Peony, lotus root, open the doors and windows, it must be ventilated."

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Nan Xi untied Murong Ce's clothes.

As she expected, Murong Ce's body was also covered with pustules.

The blood and thick water were mixed together, exuding a foul smell, which looked a little disgusting.

"What an insidious poison."

Nan Xi quickly wrote a prescription and asked Han Pian to get the medicine.

Shaoyao asked: "Master, are you saying that someone poisoned Lord Murong?"

Nan Xi's expression was solemn, "Go tell Li Qingmo and send someone to arrest Murong Qing." The common people said before that Master Murong's sister had been here.

That person must be Murong Qing.

Moreover, Nan Xi suspected that the person who poisoned Murong Ce was Murong Qing.

After Shaoyao left, Nan Xi took out the silver needle bag and gave Murong Ce acupuncture.

Then he went out and looked at Xia Rui: "Xia Rui, prepare hot water, my brother needs a medicinal bath."

"Yes, Mistress."

The huge county government didn't even have any servants, so Xia Rui escorted two guards to boil water.

"If you want you to be well, you have to listen to us. My mistress's medical skills are unparalleled, and I will definitely be able to cure your illness with medicine."

The lives of the two guards were in Xia Rui's hands, and they didn't dare to say anything. At this time, they could only listen to whatever Xia Rui said. They were all treating a dead horse as a live doctor.

After boiling the water, Xia Rui brought the bathtub and filled it with hot water.

It happened that Hanlian also came back with medicine.

Nan Xi divided the medicine into two parts, one part was used for medicinal bath, and the other part was used by Hanlian to decoct medicine.

"Xia Rui, take off my brother's clothes and soak him in it." Nan Xi said, "By the way, go to the kitchen to prepare some glutinous rice and sprinkle it in."

After giving these instructions, Nan Xi went to the front yard.

Those government officials and common people are still detained here by Li Qingmo.

Nan Xi sat down. She had been the queen for a long time, and every move she made could not help but carry the aura of a superior. She was not angry but assertive, which made the people subconsciously fear her.

Nan Xi asked in a deep voice: "When did Master Murong start to get sick? Have you ever hired a doctor?"

The people dared not speak.

One of the government officials replied: "It's been seven days. Master Murong's sister came to visit him seven days ago. The two of them had a good relationship. Master Murong left the best rooms in the county government to Miss Murong. Later, the two of them didn't know why. , we had a quarrel, and Master Murong fell ill the next day."

The more Nan Xi thought about it, the more suspicious Murong Qing became.

Asked: "Then what?"

The yamen servant continued: "Although Mr. Murong and Miss Murong had a quarrel, Miss Murong was still very kind to him. She specially invited a doctor and even boiled the medicine herself. But I don't know why, the more Mr. Murong took the medicine, the more serious his condition became. Tianqian simply fell into a coma, and we were left in a state of confusion. We tried to find Miss Murong but found that she had left at some point."

"gone?"

"Well, that's probably it. No one has seen her again anyway."

Nan Xi was so angry that if she caught Murong Qing, she would never be spared.

She looked at Li Qingmo on the side and introduced to the government officials and the people: "This is the regent. Before Lord Murong wakes up, if you have any official business, you can report it directly to the regent. Also, if anyone discovers Murong Qing's whereabouts, Be sure to come and report her as soon as possible. Anyone who provides her whereabouts or helps catch her will be rewarded heavily."

Money can make all the difference, but she doesn't believe that Murong Qing can't be found in this situation.

Murong Ce took a medicinal bath for an hour and a half, and with the help of silver needles, all the blood and thick water in the pustules were forced out.

Xia Rui put Murong Ce into new, dry clothes and put him back on the bed.

The bedding on the bed has also been changed.

Nanxi asked Hanlian to buy it again.

After the medicine was cooked, Nan Xi fed Murong Ce to drink it bit by bit.

A quarter of an hour later, Murong Ce slowly woke up.

"elder brother."

Nan Xi called out softly.

Murong Ce felt in a daze that he was dreaming. It was not until Nan Xi took his pulse that he discovered that it was true.

"Nan Nan? Why are you here?"

Nan Xi: "If I didn't come, no one would know if you died here. Why didn't you send someone to notify me that you were sick?"

Murong Ce started to chase her away: "Nan Nan, get out quickly. What I have is smallpox. It is contagious and can kill people."

Nan Xi held his hand, "Is this why you didn't send someone to notify me?"

Afraid that he would be worried, Nan Xi continued: "Don't worry, you are not suffering from smallpox."

Murong Ce was stunned: "Isn't it smallpox?"

Nan Xi frowned and said, "It's poisoning. Someone poisoned you, causing you to slowly suffer to death with symptoms similar to smallpox."

"Poisoned?" Murong Ce seemed to have thought of something, "This, how is this possible..."
