The bitter tea accompanied by the bitter medicine made Su Miner's face wrinkled.

After the cold tea slid down her throat, a stinging pain spread in Su Miner's chest.

"Ah! It hurts!"

Su Miner's already sickly face turned even paler, blue veins appeared on her forehead, and she rolled over and over on the bed.

Su Xuqing rubbed her chin and said thoughtfully, "The cold poison will irritate the lungs. I don't know if the old princess can bear the pain. It seems that we need to add some mild medicine to continue to neutralize it."

"you……"

Su Min'er was in so much pain that she almost vomited blood after hearing Su Xuqing's muttering.

"Are you testing medicine on me?"

"if not?"

Su Xuqing spread her hands and said, "You and the old princess are the only ones who are sick in our house. I can't use the old princess to test the medicine, right?"

The corners of Su Miner's mouth twitched. She clearly saw a hint of mockery in Su Xuqing's eyes. It was obvious that she came here deliberately to test the medicine on her. Otherwise, with so many patients in the capital, who could she not test it on?

Su Xuqing reached out and felt Su Miner's pulse, then nodded with satisfaction.

"After the pain subsided, my pulse gradually became strong again. This medicine has an immediate effect."

After withdrawing her hands, Su Xuqing wiped her hands on the quilt in disgust, then turned and left.

The pain on Su Miner's face gradually eased and she broke out in a cold sweat.

She sat up slowly and found that her throat didn't hurt as much and her body was no longer cold. The medicine was really working.

Su Min'er was very sober at this moment. Fortunately, she pretended to be filial for a few days, otherwise Su Xuqing would probably not detoxify her... She was lucky to escape this time.

"Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future, Su Xuqing, just wait for me!"

Su Miner's eyes gradually became cruel, and she showed no gratitude at all.

Su Xuqing returned to the side room and improved the existing antidote, then went to the old princess's orchid room and fed her the medicine powder mixed with water little by little.

Although the antidote had been improved, the old princess still felt a little uncomfortable after taking it. She looked painful, but it was still within her tolerance.

After a brief period of discomfort, the old princess broke out in a cold sweat. This was the effect of the antidote, which expelled the cold poison in her body from her pores.

After regaining a little strength, the old princess sat up from the bed, a kind look on her frail face.

"Qing'er, you are really a blessing to me. Not only did you help Xiaojiu recuperate and prolong his life, but you also saved my life. It is a blessing for the Zhen'an Palace to marry you as my daughter-in-law."

Su Xuqing felt a little embarrassed by the old princess's praise, and said shyly: "Mom, we are a family, why are you saying these things."

"I have to let you know what I really mean."

The old princess had a kind face and gently held Su Xuqing's hand.

"hiss……"

Su Xuqing took a breath of cold air and retracted her hand like lightning.

The old princess was stunned for a moment, and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

"No...nothing..."

Su Xuqing smiled and hid her left hand behind her back.

The old princess frowned and stretched out a hand, "Give me your hand."

"Mom, it's okay..."

"Bring it here."

Su Xuqing had no choice but to stretch out her hand.

I saw that her originally slender and white fingertips were covered with needle holes, red and swollen, and some were still bleeding.

"This...what's going on..."

The old princess felt distressed and held her hand carefully.

"To develop an antidote, we need to take blood, so..."

Su Xuqing took her hand back, her eyes curved, "It's okay, mother, it will be fine in a few days."

"You kid..."

"Oh, by the way, mother, the people in the capital are also in urgent need of an antidote to save their lives. I have to send the prescription to the Ministry of Justice as soon as possible. You should have a good rest at home. I have to leave first."

"go Go."

The old princess had heard about the situation outside. With so many lives at stake, she naturally would not delay Su Xuqing and quickly waved her hand.

The old princess sat on the bed, listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, a gentle smile on her lips.

"He's a good kid. Xiaojiu is lucky. He's better than the other kids."

The other sons of the old princess, although healthy and brave, have now died in battle. Although the male protagonist is sick, he is still alive, right? A borrowed blessing is also a blessing.

Su Xuqing left the palace and got straight into the carriage.

"lady."

Su Xuqing was about to leave when she saw Taozi chasing her out from the door.

"What, is something wrong?"

Taozi nodded, walked up to her and said, "Madam, are you going to find out the formula for the medicine and hand it over to the Ministry of Justice?"

Su Xuqing nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course. Now that countless people in the capital have been poisoned, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to mass-produce the antidote by myself, so I have to ask His Royal Highness to send someone to make it overnight."

"But Madam...if the antidote is sent to the Ministry of Justice, the people will be saved and they will be grateful to the court. But if you and Miss Sun make the medicine and sell it in the shop in the north of the city, then this Chamber of Commerce will be famous before it even opens."

"This move is indeed beneficial... but..." Su Xuqing groaned after hearing this, and slowly said: "But when you are alive, you can't just care about the power and ignore the right and wrong. Miss Sun and I will ask someone to spend a few days to make enough antidotes, but no one can guarantee that no one will die from the cold poison during this period, so it's better not to have this kind of reputation and wealth in danger."

Hearing Su Xuqing say this, Taozi felt helpless and relieved. She was helpless because Su Xuqing was too kind, and she was relieved because she was too kind.

"In that case, I was just giving a blind suggestion. I hope Madam will not blame me."

Su Xuqing smiled slightly, "I know you are thinking about me, how can I blame you? It's getting late, you and Yinhuan should go to bed early, so you don't have to wait for me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Taozi bowed and respectfully saw Su Xuqing off.

Half an hour later, Ministry of Justice.

The mass poisoning of the people has caused panic among the people. All day long today, many people gathered in front of the Ministry of Justice and marched through the streets, demanding that the Ministry of Justice execute Xu Mo.

Even though the government had issued an official document telling the people that the criminals would be punished after a thorough investigation, the people were not buying it and continued to linger at the door.

Su Xuqing's carriage was forced to stop a hundred meters away from the Ministry of Justice, because the street in front of the Ministry of Justice was full of people. They brought their families and even mats, and it seemed that they were planning to block the way here at night.

So Su Xuqing had no choice but to get off the carriage and trot into the Ministry of Justice.

In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, important officials at all levels gathered and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"Sir Shangshu, the people of the capital are now boiling with resentment, and we have found poison in Xu Mo's shop. We can completely prove his guilt. Why are you still hesitating? If this goes on, the matter will be reported to the emperor, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Minister Xu of the Ministry of Justice looked worried and persuaded the male protagonist to convict Xu Mo in order to calm the current situation.
