Unconsciously, Gu Qingli tugged at the hem of her corset and said softly, "He …" He really did to me... What did you do? "

"No, don't think too much."

Gu Qing Li closed her eyes in silence. After a long time, tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, but she didn't say a word.

Xiao Yi Xiu held onto his clothes and said softly, "Don't think too much. The Cheng Yang Inn is a place of the East Abyss after all. Helian Yu is the Crown Prince of the Northern Chu so it shouldn't be …" I don't think so. "

Gu Qingli remained silent. She placed her hand on her abdomen and silently closed her eyes.

Xiao Yixiu knew how to explain it, but she wouldn't believe it. He felt suffocated, but he was powerless. In fact, even he wasn't sure what Helian Yu had done to her.

Helian Peng's words clearly lured him in that direction. Not only did Helian Yu acquiesce to her words, he even lured them deeper into the depths of their thoughts.

Upon returning to the manor, Gu Qingli washed herself and changed her clothes. She looked as if she had returned to normal.

Xiao Yi Xiu tried to tell her a few things about the epidemic situation in the capital. She listened seriously, nodding from time to time as she analyzed everything.

Only when he saw her calm expression did his heart gradually calm down.

Gu Qingli then made her own guess. Perhaps these people with the disease would die faster because of the constant cell division and metabolism. After their abnormal attacking power, their lives would be overdrawn.

"I wonder how the outer city is doing." Gu Qingli's eyes were filled with worry.

"I heard that it was the same as in the inner city. The disease has occurred repeatedly, but the first batch to take medicine, due to the improvement of the condition, seldom took medicine in the later stages. Now, the court is divided into two factions. One is the ones that you've cured, purely due to luck. The other is that your prescription has indeed cured a portion of people, but it is unable to do anything to serious patients. "

"I prefer the mutation of the virus." Gu Qingli looked up and saw that Xiao Yixiu's eyes were filled with doubt. She could only smile bitterly, "About that …" It's hard to explain. It is also possible that someone did something about it. "

"I suspect the same, because some families took medicine and the epidemic improved."

Gu Qingli's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Do you still remember the earliest porcelain merchant? The maid known as Qiu Yue in his residence had become much better after taking the medicine. As for Aunt Zhao, her illness was too severe, and not long after, the medicine did not work and she died. "

"Why is it that Qiu Yue's condition only improved?"

The porcelain merchant, Ye Qiuyu, had already moved back home. The house that he had been hiding in was in another part of the inner city. When there was chaos in the residence, he thought that everything else was still peaceful.

Gu Qing Li followed behind Xiao Yi Xiu as they entered the house. On the other hand, Gentleman Ye welcomed them with a face full of joy and gratitude. He didn't seem to feel much gratitude towards his aunt's death.

At this time, the sky had darkened, but the yard was still brightly lit, dispelling the smoke from the leaves. Gentleman Ye led them along a winding path to the place where the autumn moon had been imprisoned, saying that since the beginning of the day, no one had been sick in the Ye Residence.

"Not everyone listens to us. We burn the leaves and the calamus root." Xiao Yi Xiu said as he walked. He could tell from the look in his eyes that the sudden illness in the inner city and the drugs sent by Jing Zhaoyin had caused the disease to recur or even worsen.

Gu Qingli didn't argue with him and followed the servant leading the way to Qiu Yue's room. Gentleman Ye stood far away, took off his mask and gloves, but still didn't want to take a step forward.

The door opened from the inside. Qiu Yue looked up and saw Gu Qing Li. Surprised and happy, she said, "Gu Wei, thank you for saving me." She seemed to want to invite Gu Qing Li in to take a seat, but then she cast a timid glance at Gentleman Ye and softly said, "Let's talk here."

Gu Qingli didn't mind. She looked her up and down, the numerous bite marks on Qiu Yue's body had all scabbed up, the black webs in her eyes had faded, and the clear black and white color confirmed that she was awake and better.

"Autumn moon, give me your hand."

Gu Qing Li flung out a thread and wrapped it around her wrist, slicing through her veins to right and left before nodding. "It's indeed better now, just like the patients in the outer city who were diagnosed and treated previously, it will only take a few days to recover." Boss Ye, get me some pen and paper, I want to change the recipe. "

After bidding farewell to Qiu Yue, Ye Qiuyu courteously led them into a reception hall, prepared a pen and paper, and said with a face full of smiles, "Ever since the prince and his wife left, Qiu Yue has been following the instructions given by Imperial Concubine Gu to grab and fry medicine …"

Gu Qingli interrupted him. "How did Aunt Zhao die?"

Ye Qiuyue was stunned for a moment. "She and Qiu Yue took the medicine together, and according to your orders, the two of them were then separated and imprisoned. However, her condition was more serious, and after more and more festering wounds appeared on her body, the medicine pills became inert, and she died. Autumn is a bit lighter than her, or perhaps her body is a bit more solid, and is gradually beginning to improve. "

Gu Qing Li had already heard from him that under her orders, the Ye Residence had been ordered by the steward to personally capture the medicine and then return to the house for Aunt Zhao and Qiu Yue to fry instead of sending someone to deliver the medicine.

Ye Qiuyi had abandoned his family and fled, abandoning his official wife and aunt Zhao. One could see that he was a cold-hearted person. After he heard that Autumn Moon had improved, he immediately began to use the merchant's brain to think about why the rest of the patients in the capital would not be able to take medicine, but Autumn Moon was gradually recovering.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Shaotian had taken the risk to move back to the manor and found out that the medicine that Qiu Yue had consumed was not the same as the medicine she had shared. As a businessman, what he lacked the least was a flexible mind. Ye Qiuyi immediately thought that it was very possible that there was a problem with the medicines distributed uniformly by Jing Zhaoyin. In order to prove this point, he took this matter very seriously.

Gu Qingli vaguely understood why Ye Qiuyu had set his sights on the young maid's life. She then asked, "Before Aunt Zhao passed away, did any recurrent illnesses, such as super strong attack power?"

"No, it was a severe festering that eventually led to death … But it's a bit strange, she lost a lot of weight in the last two days. "

This was in line with Gu Qing Li's conjecture. The inner-city official's symptoms were slightly different from the outer city official's, which meant that the body consumption was very high. It was possible that Aunt Zhao hadn't taken any problematic drugs, and there were no signs of deterioration of the Gu poison.

She finished the prescription for the internal and external application and said, "This medicine was used to slightly adjust the dosage according to her condition. The external application can ease the scars on her body. Boss Ye, you have to be careful not to let anyone tamper with the medicine."

"Yes, yes." Boss Ye was flattering him.

Gu Qing Li was worried. This Ye Yin was obviously a snob. He valued Qiu Yue's illness because he wanted to cling onto Xiao Yi Xiu. If someone tried to tempt him with greater benefits, he'd probably change his mind.
