1070 A Big Problem

After Xue Fanxin left the room, she instructed the servants in the Lord’s Estate to take good care of Yi Fenyun. Then, she continued to do her own thing and treat people.

At this moment, more and more people were queuing up outside the Lord’s Estate to receive the antidote. Previously, it had only been the ordinary people at the bottom of the line. Now, even some royal descendants and aristocrats had come to line up. The four great families were no exception. However, no matter who came, they would all be given the antidote. Even if someone from the palace came, they would also be given the antidote.

Although the Empress had used the Asura Badge, she did not have the patience to wait for the Asura Hall to bring her the antidote. Therefore, she sent people to line up outside the Ninth Lord’s Estate to take the antidote and see if the antidote there could cure the plague poison in her body.

Everyone could be cured after drinking the antidote distributed by the Ninth Lord’s Estate. She should be no exception, right?

With this in mind, the Empress drank the antidote she had taken from outside the Ninth Lord’s Estate. However, no matter how hard she waited, there was no effect. After half a day, the antidote still had no effect. Not only did the pustules on her body not decrease, but they also increased and became more and more serious. Her body emitted an unpleasant stench that could not be hidden no matter what.

What made her depressed was that the plague poison in her body was not contagious. In the entire palace, only she and her son had been poisoned by this special plague poison. There was no way to use others to experiment and develop an antidote.

“Xue Fanxin, you’re ruthless.” After the Empress realized that the antidote was ineffective, she flared up again and smashed a bunch of things. She roared and scolded Xue Fanxin loudly. “B*tch, b*tch, I’ll definitely skin you alive. Xue Fanxin, just you wait. I’ll see how long you can remain arrogant.”

Xue Fanxin naturally knew that the Empress was angry in the palace. Someone would report the commotion in the palace to her at different times, but she could not be bothered. All her energy was on saving the commoners.

As the number of antidotes distributed by the Ninth Lord’s Estate increased, coupled with Xue Fanxin’s treatment, many people’s plague poison had already been cured. The panic in the Imperial City slowly decreased, and the commoners saw new hope. The line outside the Ninth Lord’s Estate was even longer, lining up outside the city gates.

Because there were too many people, Xue Fanxin decided to add a few more people to distribute the antidote and get the people in the residence to add a few more large pots to continue brewing the antidote.

However, the shortage of medicine became a huge problem.

The antidote for tens of millions of people required an extraordinary number of herbs. Even if they plundered all the herbs in the various medicine shops and trading companies in the Imperial City, they could only brew hundreds of thousands of antidotes. They still needed a lot of herbs for the future antidotes.

Hai Feng was the financial envoy of the Nine Cloud Palace. He used all kinds of methods to buy herbs and did not hesitate to use the human and material resources of the Nine Cloud Palace to transport the herbs bought elsewhere to the Imperial City as quickly as possible.

At this moment, batch after batch of herbs were on the way to the Imperial City.

Because of the shortage of manpower, there were not many people transporting herbs. Once anything happened on the way, the losses would be huge.

Fortunately, the Nine Cloud Palace was very famous and no one dared to provoke them easily. Therefore, the herbs everywhere were successfully transported to the Imperial City, especially the herbs in the nearby towns. They arrived in a day.

However, the herbs in other places might not arrive so smoothly. The news that the Ninth Lord’s Estate and the Nine Cloud Palace had bought a large number of herbs had spread. The Empress, the four great clans, and the Golden Sea Pavilion all knew, and some people with ill intentions had crooked thoughts.

There was naturally no need to mention the Empress. She would not let go of the chance to deal with Xue Fanxin.

As for the Golden Sea Pavilion, they also had some thoughts.

At this moment, in the Hai family, the family head and the various elders had all gathered together to discuss important matters.
