‘Feng Yili’s junior sister? She actually came here?’

However, Yu Yunxi was not in the mood to care about these things when the lives of the people around her were hanging by a thread. She asked Doctor Qin, “Doctor Qin, what’s going on?”

Doctor Qin was slightly panicked. He said tremblingly, “Initially, their condition improved after drinking the medicine. Unexpectedly, after a while, they began to vomit dark blood.. ‘

‘Their blood is dark?’

Yu Yunxi lowered her head and looked at the bloodstain on the ground, which emitted a foul smell.

“County Princess, I think something’s wrong with that medicine,” Doctor Zheng said, using the last of his strength to speak. He was lying on the ground weakly at this moment.

Yu Yunxi checked Doctor Zheng’s pulse, and she soon found that he was poisoned by a different poison.

‘Were they poisoned by my prescription? No, that’s not right. Even if it’s poisonous, I was very careful. The effects shouldn’t be deadly like this…’

“Where’s the new batch of medicine?” Yu Yunxi asked urgently.

“It’s just done. I just brought it over,” Doctor Qin replied.

Yu Yunxi hurriedly walked toward the two maidservants behind Doctor Qin who were carrying the medicine and tested the medicine.

“County Princess!”

The others were anxious when they saw this.

“Yu Yunxi!” Luo Xiuran was very anxious as well. He had promised Feng Yili that he would help protect her.

Yu Yunxi did not seem to hear them. She was trying to distinguish the medicine’s ingredients. After a moment, she shook her head and said urgently, “No, this isn’t what I prescribed. Something has been added!”

She looked at Doctor Qin and asked, “Where are the prescriptions?”

Doctor Qin handed the twenty prescriptions over. She looked at them and discovered that each of them had been added with an extra ingredient. With just an additional ingredient, it could easily turn medicine into poison!

The handwriting was also similar to hers so Doctor Qin and the others did not notice anything.

‘The shy has already infiltrated this place!’

“County Princess, what should we do?” Doctor Qin asked anxiously. His eyes turned red.

“Go brew the medicine again!” Yu Yunxi said through gritted teeth. She clenched her hands into fists, and her eyes were extremely red.

Doctor Qin took the prescription that had been corrected and quickly left to brew the medicine.

Yu Yunxi turned to the other doctors and said, “The situation is critical. We can only perform bloodletting while we wait for the medicine!”

They had to do this to get rid of as much poison as they could to increase the chance of survival.

“B-but, County Princess, if the patients lose too much blood, they’ll die as well,” one doctor said solemnly.

Yu Yunxi’s eyes were red as she said hoarsely, “We have to give it a try…”

‘This is our last chance…’

She tried to hold back her tears as she apologized to the commoners and the soldiers.

“Everyone, I’m sorry for being careless and putting all of you in danger…”

At this time, a soldier said firmly, “County Princess, we trust you! If you have a way, let’s try them! We believe in you! Even if you fail, we have no complaints!”

The others also expressed similar sentiments.

“County Princess, we believe in you!”

In their opinion, Yu Yunxi had suffered too much for their sake and this was not her fault.

Yu Yunxi calmed down when she heard their words. She said firmly to the other doctors, “Let’s do this.”

The doctors were also infected by the emotions. All of their eyes shone with determination as they nodded and went to work.

Meanwhile, Feng Yili’s junior sister who was standing in a corner saw this, and the corners of her lips curled up.

‘This Yu Yunxi is quite… interesting…

On the other side, Yu Yunxi rolled up her sleeves and began to perform bloodletting on the patients. She had to carefully control the amount of blood, and she had to stop the bleeding at the right time.

When they were almost done, Doctor Qin finally returned with the freshly brewed medicine. He wiped his sweat as he said anxiously, “County Princess, the medicine is here!”

This time, Yu Yunxi did not dare to give it to the others first. She tried all of them again until she almost vomited before she said tremblingly, “That one…”

Doctor Qin was about to cry tears of joy when she heard this. He quickly asked the servants to distribute the medicine. Thanks to his foresight, he also brew more medicine this time and medicine to replenish blood. “Hurry, hurry, distribute the medicine,” Doctor Qin urged.

After a few hours, the situation barely stabilized.

“County Princess,” Doctor Qin called out worriedly. In his opinion, the most tired person today should be Yu Yunxi.

Yu Yunxi had no time to rest. She ordered the guards to send the correct prescription to the military camp before she asked Doctor Qin seriously, “After I gave you the prescriptions, did anyone else see it apart from you and your people?”

She had to find the person who changed the prescriptions as soon as possible. The other party was truly vicious, trying to kill hundreds of people. She could not let such a person go so easily. If that person’s terrifying plan had succeeded, not only would she be unable to save the people here, but the entire Xinan might even be poisoned.

“Hmm…” Doctor Qin frowned and thought about it for a moment. Then, a figure appeared in his mind, and his expression turned hesitant.

Yu Yunxi frowned slightly when she saw Doctor Qin’s reaction. She asked with a slight frown, “What’s wrong, Doctor Qin? You can speak honestly.”

Doctor Qin looked at Song Cang, who was standing behind Yu Yunxi, hesitantly as he said, “I left the prescriptions unattended when I rushed away to gather the herbs. Song Cang was alone with the prescriptions…”

‘Song Gang?’

Everyone looked at Song Cang suspiciously, but he did not seem to care. Instead, he looked at Yu Yunxi and asked, “County Princess, do you also think I betrayed you?”

At the same time, people began to whisper among themselves, voicing their suspicion.

“He’s the most suspicious one. He’s not from Xinan after all.”

“That’s right. He’s an outsider!”

“Didn’t you hear Doctor Qin? He was alone with the prescriptions earlier!”

“He’s really vicious. There are so many lives involved…’

At this moment, Yu Yunxi suddenly said, “It’s not him.”

Yu Yunxi’s tone was very confident.

At this moment, the woman covered her mouth and chuckled before she asked,

“Why are you so sure that he didn’t do it?”
