Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

Zhennan Palace.

In order to develop an antidote for the unknown poison, Su Xuqing ordered the maid to clean out a side room.

The agarwood table was filled with bottles and jars containing various medicinal powders. Some of these powders were harmless, while some were poisonous. In order to avoid inhaling the powders into the mouth and nose, Su Xuqing wore a white veil.

Su Xuqing used a small wooden medicine spoon to sprinkle the crushed flyweed powder into a porcelain bowl, then pricked her finger and dripped a drop of blood into it, and then gently stirred it with a silver needle to mix the two together.

Before the mixture dried up, Su Xuqing added the poison powder sifted from the white sugar into it, then lay on the ground and carefully observed the changes in the mixture.

The blood began to turn black the moment it came into contact with the poison powder, but the powder of fly lily seemed to work, quickly neutralizing the toxicity and the blood returned to its original color.

"It turns out to be the ice bug poison..."

The so-called ice worm is a strange insect in the far north. It lives in thick glaciers and feeds on snow lotus. The toxin in a single insect is very weak and a bite will at most cause a small frostbite.

But the person who poisoned the drug had obviously extracted the ice worm poison and mixed it with the rhizome powder of the snow lotus to make a chronic poison.

Because ice worms and snow lotus are both cold-causing organisms, once they enter the body they will cause symptoms similar to those of a cold. Using drugs to treat a cold at the beginning can indeed eliminate the symptoms, but it is only a temporary solution and not a cure for the disease.

The patient appears to be cured, but in fact the cold poison accumulates in the body, making the person weaker and eventually death.

After repeated experiments by Su Xuqing, she has found a solution. Flyweed powder can effectively remove cold poison. Combined with some warming and tonic medicines, it can easily treat cold poison.

The detoxification method was found, and Su Xuqing's colleague breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was filled with doubts.

Ice worms are found in the far north, and no one would go there specifically to catch them. Even herbalists who specialize in picking snow lotus are annoyed by these worms and would even try to avoid them.

Who would go to so much trouble to extract the ice worm poison and run to the capital to poison people?

If this person wanted to kill people indiscriminately, he could have used a more potent poison. Why did he choose this slow-acting poison...

What is the intention of this mastermind behind this?

Taking off his gloves, Su Xuqing rubbed his aching brows. Now was not the time to worry about these things. He had to make the antidote quickly.

Su Xuqing had been facing these medicinal powders for a whole day. Her eyes, which were originally as clear as autumn water, were now covered with dense bloodshot. However, the situation in the capital was not optimistic and she had no time to rest.

As it got darker, oil lamps were lit in the room.

Yinhuan was standing guard at the door, looking at her reflection on the window paper, anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Taozi sat on the steps, holding three pebbles in her hand. She threw them high up and caught them with the back of her hand, then threw them up again and caught them with the palm of her hand.

Seeing Yinhuan walking away, Taozi flicked her finger and hit a stone on Yinhuan's knee.

"My dear aunt, can you please be quiet for a while? I am dizzy because of you shaking my head."

Yinhuan frowned and said with a pursed mouth: "Madam hasn't come out for a whole day, and she didn't come out for dinner. What if she gets too tired? Do you think I should try to persuade her?"

"Persuade? How?"

Taozi rolled her eyes and pointed to the north, "The old princess is still lying in bed, and Madam is very filial to her. Even if you talk her out of her mouth, she won't come out."

"Ugh!"

Yinhuan let out a long sigh and sat down on the steps.

Just as Yinhuan was sighing, the door at the back was pushed open.

Yinhuan turned around in surprise and said hurriedly, "Madam, you finally came out."

Taozi looked up and saw Su Xuqing's smiling face. She immediately dropped the stone, patted her butt, stood up and said, "Madam, have you made the antidote?"

Su Xuqing smiled on her tired face and nodded slightly, "It's done, but I don't know the specific effect. I need to find someone to try it out."

Taozi groaned and gave a wicked smile.

"We have one person who can test the medicine in our palace."

Su Xuqing's eyes lit up, and she walked towards the second room with two maids.

"Cough cough cough."

Su Miner was lying on the bed, coughing continuously. Her voice was already hoarse and she was almost coughing up foam from her lungs.

"Someone...I need...I need...some water."

Su Miner's lips were cracked. She licked them with her tongue and felt a stinging pain on her lips.

She struggled to stand up and shouted several times, but no one answered from outside. Ever since she stole Li's banknotes, her status in the second house plummeted and even the maids were unwilling to pay attention to her.

There was resentment in Su Miner's weak eyes.

"One day...one day I will make you all kneel before me!"

squeak--

The door was suddenly pushed open, making a teeth-grinding friction sound.

"Oh, you're still awake. That's great. I don't have to give you any medicine."

"Give...give medicine?"

Su Miner's gray eyes shrank, fear quickly spread in her heart, and she couldn't help but shrink into the corner.

"You...what do you want to do?"

"What?"

There was no one waiting in the room. Su Xuqing's expression was obscured by the darkness. She sneered grimly and said, "Su Min'er, now you don't have the support of the Duke's Mansion, and the Li family doesn't like you. Even if I kill you, no one will speak up for you. What do you think I want to do?"

"no no……"

Su Min'er's heart was about to jump out of her throat. "You can't do this. I have reformed, and the old princess likes me very much now. You can't kill me."

Su Xuqing narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of a smile on her lips. Seeing Su Miner's frightened look really made her feel very happy.

"Okay, stop shaking. I was just teasing you. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have waited until today. Here you go."

Su Xuqing threw a small packet of medicine powder to Su Miner, and then personally poured her a bowl of water.

Su Miner took the medicine bag with a vigilant look.

"what is this?"

Su Xuqing handed her the water and said slowly, "You were poisoned by a cold poison. This medicine is used to detoxify you. Take it quickly."

Hearing this, Su Miner's eyes flickered.

Would Su Xuqing be so kind as to send her medicine to detoxify her? What if there was some poison in it?

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous."

Su Xuqing saw her hesitation and knew what she was thinking. "You have already been poisoned. Even if I don't care about you, you won't live for a few days. Why should I go to the trouble of poisoning you? This time, I will detoxify you, which is your reward for reforming yourself and serving the old princess."

Su Miner thought about it carefully and it made sense, then she slowly took the tea.
