The fate of the world's beauty

Chapter 173 Don't move, that is poisonous

The jar for decocting medicine is a black porcelain jar with a handle, and next to it is a spout, which is used to pour the medicine out.

Holding the porcelain pot, Nan Ruo frowned and thought about it. At this moment, there was a heavy panting sound from behind Pearl, probably because the stove was too heavy and she was tired from carrying it.

"Miss, the stove is here." Pearl panted.

Nan Ruo raised her head and smiled at her, said: "Let's put it aside." Then asked: "Pearl, are you usually in charge of decocting medicine?"

Pearl said: "Yes, Miss, Madame seldom allows us to go in to serve. The daily work of the servants is to decoct medicine for Madam and then deliver it to her."

Nan Ruo nodded, suddenly poured out the medicine residue in the pot in his hand, and then washed the porcelain pot in the basin.

Pearl had put down the stove at this time, and seeing Nan Ruo washing the medicine jar, she asked, "Miss, is this medicine jar not clean?"

Nan Ruo nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Pearl, light up the fire."

Pearl agreed, and went to raise the fire.

Nan Ruo found a veil, covered his mouth and nose, and put the medicine jar on the fire.

When Pearl raised the fire, Nan Ruo pulled her, pointed at himself, and motioned her to cover up her nose and mouth like him.

Although Pearl is very strange, she still does it.

The medicine jar was set on the fire, and it sizzled.

Nan Ruo stared at the jar without blinking. Suddenly, a line of very shallow silver-white liquid flowed down the wall of the medicine jar. Nan Ruo immediately took a wet handkerchief, picked up the jar, Looking at the sunlight outside the window.

Pearl was also very strange, and asked suspiciously: "Miss, what's going on?"

Nan Ruo brought the jar in front of her, and pointed to the silver-white liquid that just flowed out. After a while, the liquid solidified, but because the time was short, it hadn't had time to oxidize, so it was still bright silver-white.

Nan Ruo said: "Look, this is a highly poisonous heavy metal." Nan Ruo moved his fingers up the silver-white liquid, and finally found a small hole the size of a needle's eye near the handle. Pointing to the small hole, he said: "Pearl, you see, they hide this kind of poison in this small hole. Once heated, the poison in the small hole will melt, and then flow out along the small hole, because it is fried. The medicine and medicine soup are all black, so no one will find this place at all."

Pearl let out an exclamation, and she turned her whole head to see clearly what this thing that caused her to be nearly killed with a stick looked like.

After seeing the small hole as small as the eye of a needle, Pearl opened her mouth wide in surprise, and stammered after a long time: "That's it, it's just such a small hole that caused Madam to be like this."

Nan Ruo nodded with determination, at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of her, snatching the medicine jar from Nan Ruo's hand.

Nan Ruo was startled, and when she looked up, she saw Nan Qing holding the medicine jar for a closer look with a solemn face, while asking, "Ruo'er, where is the small hole you mentioned?"

Nan Ruo stretched out his finger to show him, and Nan Qing was about to reach out to pick the silver-white thing.

Nan Ruo hurriedly snatched the jar, said: "Don't move, that is poisonous." Then asked: "Brother, why are you here?"

Nan Qing's face was very ugly, but she didn't answer, she just asked: "Is this what you usually use to make medicine for your mother?"

Pearl nodded quickly, but seeing Nan Qing's ugly complexion, she was afraid in her heart, so she couldn't help but retreated behind Nan Ruo.
