332 Your Royal Highness, What Does This Smell Have to Do With Me?
“Okay,” Rong Zhan agreed without thinking. His reaction speed was so fast that it seemed that he had been waiting for Gu Qingxue to ask him to stay.
Gu Qingxue could not figure out what the last medicinal herb was, so she could only put this matter aside and sit beside Rong Zhan to have dinner with her.
“Your Royal Highness, I’ve observed the situation in Tie Family Village today, and the current situation of the plague is still within my control. However, the medicine I’ve concocted can only play a part, and can not cure the plague completely. If it can not be cured completely, it is still infectious. It will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. It will only temporarily prolong the lives of the patients and is not a long-term solution. In the following days, the patients’ conditions will get worse and worse. Even if we delay it, we can only delay it for half a month at most,” Gu Qingxue said with a serious expression.
“In another two or three days, jing City will send someone to assist you. How confident are you in curing the plague?” Rong Zhan asked.
“80%. So far, I’m only one herb away from finding the antidote. I’m just not sure what the antidote is yet,” Gu Qingxue said slowly.
“How do you know that you’re only one herb away?” Rong Zhan asked, puzzled.
Even if Gu Qingxue had found the hern that she thought would be effective in treating the plague, she would still need to conduct experiments to determine the result based on the recovery of the patients.
However, when Gu Qingxue said this, it seemed that she knew what the medicine should be from the very beginning.
“My master once treated the cadaveric rash, leaving behind an empty bottle and a prescription that contained the antidote. Unfortunately, a part of the prescription was missing. After careful consideration, I’ve already filled in the missing medicinal herbs. Currently, there’s only one medicinal herb left.” Gu Qingxue had already thought of an excuse, she lied without blushing or jumping up and down, and then came up with a completely nonexistent master.
Her medical skills were strange, and it was hard to guarantee that she would not be exposed in the future. In addition to the plague, it would be strange if she developed the medicine to cure it too quickly.
However, she could create a master for herself. No matter how many amazing things she could do with the system in the future, she could say that it was her master who taught her these things.
As expected, Rong Zhan did not expect Gu Qingxue to say this. He glanced at her and asked, “Where is the medicine bottle? Show it to me.”
Gu Qingxue generously gave the medicine bottle to Rong Zhan.
Rong Zhan reached out to take it and gently sniffed the medicine left in the bottle.
Gu Qingxue patiently explained at the side, “Your Royal Highness should have smelled a sweet smell hidden in this medicine. This smell is the key to the antidote…”
“I know what it is,” Rong Zhan said suddenly before Gu Qingxue could finish her sentence.
Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Zhan with surprise and excitement, “Your Royal Highness, are you serious? Where did you smell this smell?”
Rong Zhan did not answer but looked at Gu Qingxue with a complicated gaze.
Gu Qingxue was confused. She turned around and looked behind her to make sure there was nothing. Then, she raised her hand and pointed at herself, “Your Royal Highness, what does this smell have to do with me?”
Rong Zhan said with certainty, “You have the same sweet fragrance on your body. However, this smell was only there on the day I met you at An Pharmacy. I’ve never smelled it before that.”
