Chapter 1180: Ghost Saint Country 141

of arsenic. We don't need to worry about Dugu Xiu for now, we should focus on investigating the theft of explosives." When the time comes, send a team to look for Dugu Xiu, and the court can't say th...Feng Lingxi examined the rash on the child. The blisters hadn't come up yet, and the medicine used yesterday had no effect. It seemed that the toxins in the body must be cleared first.

"Pass me some ointment, please."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, and Doctor Tian hurriedly applied the remaining ointment to Feng Lingxi. Seeing that she was about to move, he quickly stepped forward, "Your Highness, Princess Chen, let me do it."

"It's fine."

Feng Lingxi finished applying the ointment to the child and washed her hands with water. She then instructed the woman, "I'll be here all day today. If the child has any problems later, just call me."

After the woman expressed her immense gratitude, Feng Lingxi then continued to check on the patients.

"Doctor Tian, when you have a moment, please ask these patients where they got their water from. I want to go and take a look at the source."

After Wind Ling Xi finished her examination, she decided to head to the water source to take a look. She left this place to Wind Yu Mo and Li Su to help out. With them here to assist with the medicine preparation, she had to find the root of the illness as quickly as possible.

"This humble subject shall go investigate at once."

"Xier, most of these people are commoners. I just asked them about their situation. They all drink water from the river outside the city. Let's go to the riverbank and take a look."

Du Gucheng asked about the result and planned to go to the riverside. This river was the main waterway for most of Tu Mu Town, and many people outside the town relied on it for drinking water. Perhaps there was a problem with this river.

"Then you immediately send people to watch that river. Don't let the people drink the water until you are sure it is safe, not even the animals."

This ailment may be a human affliction, but it is also possible that livestock are susceptible to it.

Dugu Cheng hurriedly sent Ye Xi to notify, while he himself went back to the county town to lead troops to investigate by the river. Feng Lingxi made arrangements and then followed Dugu Cheng to the river outside the city.

"Have you found it"

Wind Lingxi arrived at the riverbank, and the people from Dugu City had already been searching there for half a day, but they hadn't found any problems. They didn't really understand how to check the water quality either.

"The water is so clear, you can't see through it."

Feng Lingxi walked to the riverbank and squatted down, scooped some water from the river with her hand, and brought it to her nose to sniff. Dugu Cheng hurried forward, nervously unable to bear it.

"Xier, be careful..."

"Don't worry, I can cure this illness."

Feng Lingxi interrupted Du Gucheng's words, "This water is currently fine. And the direction of this water flow, if we don't regularly introduce corpse worms that would cause illness after drinking them, it wouldn't change."

"Dugu City, have people continue to patrol the surroundings along the way, see if there are graves dug nearby, or mass graves, or corpses exposed in the wilderness. Look around, check carefully."

This source, it cannot allow this disease to infect anyone.

Dugu Cheng gave the order, and Feng Lingxi immediately fetched water. They returned to the slums first. Seeing the pervasive aroma of medicine in the air, she felt a sense of peace.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, I have brought all your medicinal herbs here. Please let me know if you need anything else"

Feng Lingxi looked around and said, "Get me a tent, a big one. Also, prepare ten large buckets for medicinal baths, and ten large jars as well."

Mr. Liu carefully noted everything down and immediately ordered someone to bring the items.

"Your Highness, are you confident that you can suppress this illness"

"Of course."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lady Liu, and upon hearing that she could suppress the illness, Lady Liu let out a breath of relief. "That's good then. In this way, I can rest assured. The common people and soldiers are all hoping that Crown Princess Chen can find a cure."

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, "Right, Lord Liu, could you help me catch a rat I want to experiment."

"The subordinate will dispatch someone to apprehend him at once."

Although he didn't quite understand, Lord Liu was completely obedient to Feng Lingxi. As long as she wanted something, he would do it immediately.

"Your Highness, as you instructed, all the sick patients have been treated with medicine, and we have cleaned everything."

Feng Lingxi nodded and took out a handkerchief, covering her face with it. However, the effect wasn't very good.

"Xiao Li, can you make something for me I'll draw it out later and you can sew it for me."

Feng Ling Xi squatted down and picked up a stone from the ground, beginning to draw. Xiao Li watched as the Princess drew, feeling something strange about it.

"Your Highness, what is this used for" How was this similar to Yuexin

"This is a mask. Wearing it can help prevent infection. It covers your mouth, nose, and face, similar to a face covering, but it doesn't need to be as wide as a traditional face mask. Its main purpose is prevention."

Xiao Li nodded, "This servant will do it right away."

Wind Ling, upon hearing the call, arrived once again before the child. Upon seeing her approach, the woman was overcome with joy.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince hasn't cried. The blisters under the rash haven't come up either."

"My medicine is effective."

Feng Lingxi again took the child's pulse, checking their injuries. Even after an hour had passed, she was still very satisfied with the results.

"Your Highness, if this is the case, will my child be able to get better"

Of course it's fine, just keep him safe and sound.

The woman excitedly thanked her again. Feng Lingxi took the woman's pulse, and her body was normal.

"Sister-in-law, do you remember where your child went before they had a fever How did they get a fever"

“He went to the river to catch fish because there was nothing to eat at home. He went to the river to catch fish and came back, and started having a fever that night. I thought he just caught a cold, but he kept burning for days until the government said that anyone with a fever had to see a doctor. Then I realized something was wrong. Afterwards, the government came to arrest people and brought him here, so I followed.”

"So, you mean you were with him the whole time after he caught the fish"

The woman nodded, seeing the confusion in Feng Lingxi's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness the Princess Consort, a commoner wouldn't dare to lie. Everything I've said is the truth."

Did he catch any fish that day Did you guys eat any fish

That day we caught fish, and we all ate the fish, no problem.

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "If the fish caught in the river are fine, then it means this child got sick while she was in the water. And if the river fish were a problem, she would also be in trouble."

"Then the water that you drink, is it from the river too"

"No, the water in the river is usually used for bathing. We drink the water that flows down from the mountain behind our house. It's sweet and clear, and we've been drinking it all along. It's fine."

Wind Ling nodded. The fish in the river were fine, indicating that the water didn't harm them. The farmer ate the fish and was unharmed. Yet, it was this child who went to catch the fish and fell ill.

"Is he hurt"

"Hurt"

The woman saw the wind and nodded, “These little bumps and bruises, we wouldn't even notice them, there’s definitely no serious injury.”

"Would you please ask your sister-in-law to check him over for any injuries, no matter how big or small"

The woman followed behind, and Feng Lingxi stood up and asked several people. As a result, several of them had eaten fish from across the river, but one had been scratched, while some had nothing happen to them.d back to try and sleep it off, but suddenly a neigh echoed through the air. The carriage shook even more violently. Startled, the horse reared, causing Feng Lingxi to lurch backward and hit her head...
