Zhe looked at Su Qi and sighed in his heart. However, the smile on his face did not change at all. He walked to Su Qi's side and held her hand to stop her self-torture. Then, he pulled her to sit down in their original seats.
Su Qi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and asked,""What happened?"
At that moment, she did not realize that her hand was still in Xiao Chengzhe's big hand, being played with by him.
Xiao Chengzhe smiled and played with her little hand with interest. He said,""Don't worry, General Ye's life is not in danger. On the third day after the army arrived in Li City, some of the soldiers started to vomit, have a fever, and have diarrhea. At first, they thought that it was due to water and soil problems, but drinking medicine had no effect at all. More and more people were suffering from these symptoms, but no one died. However, if this continued, there would definitely be problems with the soldiers 'bodies. General Ye caught the person who poisoned the water, but there was no antidote. Even the imperial doctor was infected.”
Then, he took out a small bottle and placed it on the table.
Su Qi wanted to take the small bottle, but at this moment, she finally realized that her hand was being held by him. He was even pinching it gently. In an instant, her pale face had a suspicious blush. She struggled to pull it out.
"Don't move." Xiao Chengzhe suddenly spoke, and Suqi actually stopped and obediently let him be. At this moment, Xiao Chengzhe revealed the only sincere smile he had in the past few days.
As for Su Qi, she cursed herself for being useless in her heart. "I need to take a look at this poison."
"You can't smell it. Almost all the doctors who have smelled it have been poisoned.”Xiao Chengzhe moved the small bottle further away, then took out something that looked like a mask and handed it to Suqi. "We need a place with no wind and a little safer.”
That made sense, so Su Qi said to Zi Gan and Lu Rao,"Go prepare dinner. Bring it to the small courtyard in the northwest corner in a while.”
After saying that, she brought Xiao Chengzhe to her small laboratory.
"That's Ye Qi's place." Xiao Chengzhe said self-deprecatingly.
Su Qi lowered her head and said softly,""That's my laboratory, where I study herbs and skincare products.”
Xiao Chengzhe did not expect her answer, but he did not expect her to explain it to him. At that moment, his mood improved, and the smile on his face deepened.
When he walked into Su Qi's laboratory, there was a faint smell of herbs that was very similar to the smell on Su Qi's body. There were many bottles and jars here. Xiao Chengzhe picked up a red bottle and asked,""What is this?"
Su Qi glanced at the bottle in his hand and said indifferently,""I call it the Bewitching Trap. This bottle can knock out a person in a small city, and it can be taken internally or externally.”
Xiao Chengzhe's mouth twitched when he heard that. He immediately put down the bottle. It seemed that if he wanted to bully her in the future, he would have to know if she had these things on her. Sigh.
After seeing Xiao Chengzhe's expression, Su Qi immediately felt very comfortable. She picked up a bottle beside her and walked to his side.""Do you know what this is? I made this when I was bored. Just a little bit will make your whole body itch, and it's the kind that itches to the bones. Of course, it's also very convenient to relieve it. You just need to wash it with cold water five or six times. If you can endure it for four hours, it's also possible.”
"Well…we can start getting down to business.”
Su Qi laughed in her heart. She was finally able to gain the upper hand one day. She picked up the poison in Xiao Chengzhe's hand and walked to the operating table that she had made herself. She tied her hair up and took out a pair of gloves and a mask that she had made herself. Of course, she also gave Xiao Chengzhe a set.
Xiao Chengzhe looked at the woman in front of him and watched her operate everything fluently. He suddenly realized that he did not seem to understand her at all. He did not know that she knew medicine, did not know why she knew how to make poison, and did not know that she knew how to sing and dance. Perhaps, there were many things that he did not know.
Su Qi focused on studying the poison in her hands. Her brows furrowed even more. After the time for an incense stick to burn, she finally put down the tools in her hands. Su Qi raised her head and saw Xiao Chengzhe's deep gaze. She blushed when she saw him staring at her.
Xiao Chengzhe saw her stop and retracted his focused gaze. He asked,""How did it go?"
Su Qi shook her head. Her heart was filled with doubts about this so-called poison. She did not know what to do. After researching for so long, there was no progress at all.
"Can't you tell what it is?" Xiao Chengzhe could not help but frown.
"No." Su Qi looked at the bottle in her hand and said,""I don't think it's poison.”
Xiao Chengzhe was puzzled and asked,""But it was indeed this powder that caused all sorts of discomfort to the soldiers.”
"Don't look at me like that. I don't know why I came to such a conclusion, but I really can't analyze its poison. Sigh, I really miss the microscopes of the past.”Looking at the simple and crude equipment here, Su Qi could not help but miss the high-end equipment in the past. Sigh, it was so sad.
"What mirror?" Xiao Chengzhe was even more puzzled by these new terms of the 21st century.
"A magnifying glass allows small things to be magnified through a magnifying glass. You can see many things that the eye can't see.”Su Qi explained patiently. She suddenly remembered that magnifying glasses did not exist in this era, so she added," I also read about it in a book.”
Xiao Chengzhe was skeptical about this explanation, but he did not ask further. He just kept this doubt in his heart.
"Um, can you please get me a bowl of water? It's in the second cabinet on the left.”Su Qi wanted to ask Xiao Chengzhe for help, but she suddenly did not know what to call him.
Xiao Chengzhe approached Su Qi and narrowed his fox-like eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up into a wicked smile as he said ambiguously,""His name is Zhe."
Su Qi subconsciously retreated when he approached her. She said in a fierce tone,""Are you going or not?"
"Yes, I will definitely go if Marinda asks me to do it.”A trace of disappointment flashed in Xiao Chengzhe's eyes, but his tone was exceptionally serious. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the cabinet.
Suqi continued her research. When Xiao Chengzhe brought water, she added some powder into the water. After the powder completely dissolved in the water, she added some more things. Unfortunately, the water did not change. Su Qi looked at this phenomenon and muttered to herself,""So it's gender-neutral?"
"What did you add? Is there anything special about the water?" Xiao Chengzhe was curious about her actions. He had never seen such things before.
"It's a reagent used to measure the acid and base. That water was distilled water, which was the water that had been heated into gas and cooled down. This water was the cleanest.”Su Qi explained without raising her head.
"Acid and base? Distilled water? What do you mean?" These new terms stumped the youngest and smartest Prime Minister Xiao of the Xili Dynasty.
"How do you explain it? It's just a property of its own. I don't know how to explain it.”Su Qi suddenly felt that she was lacking in knowledge when Xiao Chengzhe asked her shamelessly. She did not know how to explain it to him. Moreover, it seemed that her teacher had never explained what was acidic or acidic.
"Miss, dinner is ready. Why don't you and Prime Minister Xiao have some first?”
At that moment, a cyanotic voice rang out from outside the door. It saved Suqi's awkward situation in time and stopped Xiao Chengzhe from continuing his questioning.
Hence, Su Qi quickly put away her tools and tidied up her things before saying,""Go and eat first. We'll study it tonight. Are you staying or what?”
The topic was successfully changed. Xiao Chengzhe smiled again and said,""How can I refuse Marinda's invitation? Of course, I'll stay and have dinner with my Marinda. Then, we'll study together at night.”
It was originally a very ordinary sentence, but when it came out of Prime Minister Xiao's mouth, it somehow added a hint of ambiguity. Su Qi was speechless for a while. Black lines could not help but appear on her forehead. Then, she automatically ignored his words and walked out by herself. I couldn't hear it, I couldn't hear it. I was deaf just now.
