C149

Ji Yunkai had participated in the development of the antidote for the Southern Wilderness' poison previously. She knew about the poisoning of the thirty-thousand soldiers and warhorses and even knew about what kind of poison was in them.

The poisons in the Southern Wilderness were all concocted by different hands. They could not obtain the original poison, nor to know the ratio. If they wanted to detoxify the poison, the only way was through trial and error.

Putting aside the fact that the minds of the thirty-thousand people, who were poisoned, were uneased, even if these thirty-thousand people kept using medicine to suppress the poison's effects, the medicinal ingredients needed to make it would not be easy to collect. The sooner the antidote was created, the earlier the minds of the soldiers and Xiao Jiu'an would be at ease.

Nature had its laws. It bred poisonous plants, and to maintain the balance, Nature would provide the humans with the means to counter them. It only depended on whether or not humans could find them.

It was just that she did not know much about the poisonous plants and bugs from the Southern Wilderness. Although she had the original owner's knowledge, there were a lot of things that she could not remember clearly. If others mentioned it, she might know about it, but it would take a while for her to remember.

"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow. Little Doctor, you know more about the poisonous plants in the Southern Wilderness than I do." After finding a new way of thinking, the urgency in Ji Yunkai's heart dimmed a little.

No matter how anxious she was, it was useless for her to rush in concocting the antidote. She could only rely on various methods, like scientific research, and try a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times.

After thinking for an entire night, Ji Yunkai was tired. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to go to bed and find Little Doctor Zhuge early the next morning.

Perhaps there was something on her mind, Ji Yunkai did not sleep soundly. She woke up at dawn, but Baoqin would not come to serve her right now.

Ji Yunkai was not someone who could not live without a maidservant. After changing, she prepared to go out to get some water and clean up, but when she opened the door, she was stunned.

"Damn... A thief?" Looking at the wilting plants in the courtyard, Ji Yunkai dropped the copper pot in her hands due to shock.

She'd been lazy for five days, and she had not used her special ability to nurture the plants, but why did these plants look like they were about to die?

Was Xiao Jiu'an's killing power that strong?

Previously, when she heard the Little Doctor mention this, she had thought that he was exaggerating, but now it seemed that he was being too polite with his words.

When the copper pot fell to the ground, it produced a loud clanging sound, which woke Baoqin up. Baoqin quickly got up and immediately rushed to Ji Yunkai.

"Princess, what happened?" Seeing Ji Yunkai standing in the courtyard, Baoqin worriedly walked forward.

"The plants I grew are all dead." Although she knew what was going on, she had to pretend that she did not know anything and act like she was ignorant.

"Huh?" Baoqin had thought that things would turn out like this, but in the end, the plants were all gone.

No, this was not a small matter. The plants in the Princess' courtyard had all wilted. There were more than a hundred plants, and not a single one was spared.

The power of His Highness's killing power with plants was growing stronger and stronger.

Ji Yunkai knew what happened, but on her face, she showed a puzzled look, "Impossible, it's the same as usual. Furthermore, some plants don't need to be watered regularly, and I haven't watered them for a few days."

"Is it because the sun is too high, causing the flowers to wilt? The sun has been very bright these days." It was September and the Indian Summer was in full swing. The night was still fine, but it was really hot during the day.

Seeing that Baoqin was painstakingly searching for a reason, Ji Yunkai agreed, "I think it's because the sun is too high. I'll move them to my room to prevent them from dying under the sun again."

As she spoke, Ji Yunkai raised her sleeves and was about to move the plants, but Baoqin hurriedly stopped her saying, "Princess, I'll do this kind of thing. How can I let you do it?"

Their Prince had killed these plants in the first place. How could she let the Princess Consort do the deed?

Ji Yunkai would naturally not fight over it, "Then be careful."

After passing down her instructions, Ji Yunkai then walked out of the courtyard in a "low mood". As she walked out the door, the corner of her mouth twitched when she saw that the plants surrounding the gate had all withered and died too.

Xiao Jiu'an's killing power was just too strong. She remembered that he only touched it once yesterday. Now, look at it...

"So powerful. Why would he be afraid of the poisonous plants in the Southern Wilderness?" With Xiao Jiu'an's ability, would he even need to fight with the Southern Wilderness? He could have just gone to the place where the poisonous plants were grown in the Southern Wilderness and killed them there with little effort.

Of course, Ji Yunkai only dared to think about it, and she did not dare to ask Xiao Jiu'an.

Leaving Baoqin alone to move the plants in the courtyard, after washing up, Ji Yunkai ran over to Little Doctor Zhuge to have breakfast.

Eating alone every day for a long time would cause her to be depressed. Since she had decided to enjoy her life, she did not want to wrong herself anymore.

Little Doctor Zhuge had been tortured to death by the poison in the Southern Wilderness for the past few days and was often concocting medicine without sleep. Last night, he had not slept at all, and the moment Ji Yunkai arrived, she saw him lying on the table dispiritedly.

Ji Yunkai shook her head, and could not help but ask, "You haven't slept for another night?"

Compared to Little Doctor Zhuge, she did not fulfill her duty as a doctor. Even if she knew that she did not fulfill her duty, she would not risk her life as Little Doctor Zhuge would.

She was not that selfless.

"Esteemed Consort, you're here." After interacting with the Little Doctor Zhuge for a long time, he would find out that this person was a natural-born airhead. Other than medicine, he was clueless about anything else.

"Any progress?" Ji Yunkai sat down opposite of him and did not persuade him not to stay up all night.

Everyone had their own goals. She did not have any to pursue, but she could not prevent others from pursuing higher realms.

"Now that I know that the sixty-nine different pill recipes are useless, I can take a little detour." This was Little Doctor Zhuge, defeat was a type of success in his eyes, and this was without a doubt the attitude of a researcher. Ji Yunkai admired him for it. Though he was young, he did not act rashly and kept his feet firmly on the ground.

"Very good, yesterday the Prince came to find me and told me that I must find the cure. I thought for a long time last night and came up with a new idea." Testing the prescription was a very painful thing, but this new idea meant that they had to start over, and had to try all over again.

This was an extremely troublesome matter that involved a huge amount of work. In the end, there was no guarantee of success.

"What new idea?" Little Doctor Zhuge's eyes lit up. Looking at him, one would know that he was not afraid of setbacks at all...
