Chapter 139 You lion is opening your mouth!
inside the house.
Xiangying stood near the bed, instructing the maids to pat Mr. Li on the back, while another maid rinsed his mouth with salt water.
Mr. Li gasped for breath, and there was blood on his mouth.
Xiangying stepped forward, tilted her head and looked at her: "Master Li, how are you? Are you much better?"
Master Li had already vomited and ran out of energy.
He panted for a moment before nodding: "It's much better. What did I vomit out just now?"
Xiangying smiled: "Looking at the number of bugs, there should be about ten."
Mr. Li was almost sick.
"You mean, this thing has been living in my body before?"
"To be precise, it's in your intestines and stomach. Adults eat things with small eggs, so these parasites stay in the body and gradually grow up."
After hearing this, Mr. Li subconsciously vomited twice, but fortunately, he found that he couldn't vomit it out at all.
"I feel so hungry!"
Xiang Ying nodded: "I have already asked the servants to prepare salt porridge and side dishes for you to serve."
A bowl of hot porridge was brought in by the servant. The temperature was suitable, and Mr. Li swallowed it in one gulp.
After eating it, it wasn't enough, so I ate four or five bowls in a row.
He almost cried with joy.
Since I got sick, I haven't had a good meal for more than a month.
Mr. Li looked at Xiang Ying happily: "Can I all eat in the future?"
Xiangying nodded: "Indeed, but your spleen and stomach are weak now. You have to eat gruel for at least a month before you can eat other meals normally."
Mr. Li agreed immediately.
He has been hungry for a long time, so some food would be good.
However, what he is most concerned about is how to treat Xiangying.
"Since sheep dung is used as medicine, why is Zhao Yushi's medicine useless?"
"Sheep manure is a good medicine, but the other medicines must be properly matched. Miss Zhao's prescription cannot cure the disease."
Mr. Li's eyes suddenly turned vicious, and he threw the rag he used to wipe his mouth at the butler next to him.
"You bastards, didn't you ask that Zhao Yushi cured the soldier responsible for escorting him?"
The housekeeper knelt down in panic: "I don't know what's going on, but I did hear that she cured the soldier. Moreover, when she first brought him over, she didn't say she couldn't cure him!"

Xiangying's red lips parted slightly: "Sir, Zhao Yushi's prescription was taught to her by someone else."
"Maybe there is someone hiding behind your back to harm you. With a little interrogation, we will definitely know who it is."
Mr. Li immediately ordered: "Go! Drag Zhao Yushi to the trial. No matter what method you use, I must have a clear trial!"
Xiangying watched the housekeeper leave in a hurry.
Mr. Li's voice rang in his ears: "Your name is Xiangying, right? She is indeed the eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but she knows more than others. When I meet you, I am saved."
Xiang Ying raised her head slightly: "If you had not massacred those 3,300 innocent Western Zhou people when you entered the city, you would have recovered faster."
After hearing her words, Master Li's eyes that were still smiling just now turned cold in an instant.
He stared at her: "What do you mean? As a South Vietnamese official, killing a few people from the captive country is the same as slaughtering pigs, cattle and sheep. What's the difference?"
Xiangying's face was calm, and her white and tender skin was covered with the dusk light cast in from the window.
"Among the people you killed, there was a family named Zeng, whose descendants had opened a medicine shop in Mangzhou for six generations. His family's unique prescription can cure the local waterworm disease."
Master Li was shocked.
"What did you say?"
"Haven't you ever thought about it, sir? How did the people here deal with this disease before you came to Mangzhou?"
Xiangying said, with a cold smile on her lips: "If you kill the person who can save your life, of course you will only be tortured." In fact, this was Xiangying's accidental discovery.
She was lying in the tent last night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, thinking about this problem.
Has Mangzhou had this disease before? If so, how do the people here live?
After thinking about it, she went into the study room in the space to look for information and research.
Finally, she discovered the reason.
This disease has long existed in Mangzhou, and is called waterworm disease by local people.
Therefore, there is a family of doctors named Zeng who has been researching treatment methods for generations.
Finally, they developed an exclusive secret recipe. If the locals in Mangzhou have a bad stomach after drinking water, they can go to his house and prescribe medicine to cure the disease.
Unfortunately, Xiangying discovered the fate of the Zeng family in a memorial that her father did not read.
When South Vietnamese officials took over the massacre of the city in Mangzhou, the Zeng family took the lead and followed the other wealthy gentry families to resist tenaciously and were wiped out.
Mr. Li felt that Xiangying's tone was very graceful. He was suspicious, so he raised his hand and picked at his throat. When he found that he couldn't pull it out, he pointed at Xiangying.
"Do you want to seek revenge for them? Is there something wrong with the medicine you just gave me?"
Xiangying lowered her eyes, standing in the light and shadow, with a cold expression: "My lord, you are overthinking. Of course there is nothing wrong with the medicine I gave you."
"I just want to remind you that this medicine can only repel insects, but it cannot cure waterworm disease, unless you can stop drinking water from Mangzhou for the rest of your life."
Mr. Li was anxious: "You mean I will make such a mistake again in the future? What should I do!"
Xiang Ying's face didn't change: "It's very simple. There are two things you must do. First, be kind to the remaining people in Mangzhou. If anyone among them has the prescription, it can save your life;"
"Second, to protect the cleanness of Mangzhou's water sources, it is up to the adults to find a way."
Mr. Li pinched his eyebrows: "Why did things come to this point!"
It was trickier than he thought.
This damn disease cannot be cured.
"If everything is okay, sir, I will go back first."
"Wait!" Mr. Li suddenly stopped her.
Xiangying endured his cold gaze.
But I heard Mr. Li say: "I want to reward you. Whatever you want, just say it."
Xiangying pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
She knew that Mr. Li was planning to publicize that she had saved his illness, so he rewarded her generously.
This is equivalent to reminding the people that they can receive rewards by relying on the prescription.
That he could make such a decision also meant that he believed Xiang Ying's words.
So, Xiangying said directly: "Sir, just give me a hundred pairs of thick wool shoes."
"A hundred pairs!? You lion is so open-mouthed!"
"The rewards are generous enough to convince people."
Mr. Li closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Butler! Give it as she said!"
Xiangying smiled: "Thank you, sir."
She turned and went out.
Zhao Yushi was no longer at the door. On the contrary, after a while, Xiang Qianqian and Shu Fei were escorted over with frightened faces.
Behind them was Xie Chen.
Compared with their embarrassment and panic, the way Xiangying swaggered out of the city garrison was particularly eye-catching.
Seeing Jin Chen, Xiangying waved happily: "Come and help me move my things."
Xiang Qianqian was startled and turned pale.
Zhao Yushi had already been raped, so how could Xiang Ying still be fine?
