She had just managed to recognize all the small seal characters. Were these pictographic characters?
Lady Yuan took a look. "I'm not sure either. I saw it was placed together with the medical books, so I brought it over. He Cong should know."
"Then could I trouble Lady Yuan to ask the second young master to come to my mansion and explain this to me?" Yi Qing pondered for a moment. "Once Miss Yuan is ready, I'll surely go to treat her."
"Sure." Only then did Lady Yuan feel relieved.
After seeing Lady Yuan off, the Princess of Qi came with her entourage.
Yi Qing felt that her patience was running out. The busier she was, the more these people came to cause trouble.
The last meeting with the Princess of Qi hadn't been pleasant, so Yi Qing didn't give her a good look.
"I heard that Lady Xiao has been seeking medical books everywhere. Our Qi Mansion happens to have some, so I've brought them here." Cui asked her servants to carry a box in.
Suddenly, Yi Qing remembered that the Prince of Qi had been seriously ill for many years, so there must be some medical books in the mansion. "Thank you, Princess of Qi."
"You're welcome. General Xiao and the Emperor are like brothers. We're of a similar age. We should visit each other more often." The Princess of Qi forced a smile. "Just let me know if you need anything."
Yi Qing didn't expect someone with whom she had a rift to suddenly become so friendly. It was just that each had their own motives. "I'm too busy."
The Princess of Qi showed understanding. "Then I won't trouble Lady Xiao to make the medicine for me. Just give me the prescription for toning up the body."
Yi Qing looked at the Princess of Qi. "Did we talk about this before?" She thought the Princess of Qi was taking advantage of the situation.
Before, when no one knew that Xiao Jinghan was still alive, no one cared about her, so she had been at leisure. Now that Xiao Jinghan was seriously injured and on the verge of death, she had lost her backer. Naturally, she had to get along well with others.
The Princess of Qi thought Yi Qing was a bit obtuse. "I'm sure Lady Xiao won't refuse."
Yi Qing looked at the box of medical books on the ground. "So, Princess of Qi, are you using this box of medical books in exchange for the prescription for toning up the body?"
The Princess of Qi was choked by Yi Qing's attitude. "If Lady Xiao wants to understand it this way, it's okay."
"His Highness the Prince of Qi is here." A servant outside announced.
The Princess of Qi's face changed slightly. She involuntarily clenched the sleeve of her robe. It seemed that there was indeed an unusual relationship between the Prince of Qi and Yi Qing.
Yi Qing looked outside the main hall and didn't even bother to stand up. The Princess of Qi stood up respectfully and stood aside to greet him.
The Prince of Qi glanced at the Princess of Qi and then looked at Yi Qing. "How is General Xiao?"
"Don't bother, Your Highness." Only then did Yi Qing stand up lazily. "The general is unwell. It's inconvenient to receive male guests in the mansion. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
It was okay for the Prince of Qi to joke around before, but at this critical moment, he was causing trouble for her. She wouldn't give him any face.
"Lady Xiao, rest assured. Although I'm just a idle prince, Lady Xiao saved my life. I will surely protect Lady Xiao." The Prince of Qi smiled slightly.
"I've lived well for so many years without anyone's protection." Yi Qing said indifferently. "I saved the Prince of Qi just for the silver. It's better to settle the accounts clearly."
The Princess of Qi clenched and then loosened her fists. Yi Qing dared to speak so arrogantly in front of the Prince of Qi. In fact, it was because the Prince of Qi doted on her. Otherwise, who would dare to talk like this in front of the Prince of Qi?
"Very well. Princess, let's go." The Prince of Qi turned around and left.
Yi Qing knew that the Prince of Qi was unpredictable. Although his temperament had changed greatly, his nature remained the same.
The Princess of Qi was taken away by the Prince of Qi, leaving behind a box of medical books. Yi Qing flipped through them. Some were duplicates of the ones she had just received, and some she had never seen before.
One book mentioned the Shamanic medical meaning, saying that it was the highest mystery of the shamans' communication with heaven and earth. However, the shamans were too mysterious, and there wasn't much recorded in it.
"Shaman." Yi Qing flipped through it for a while longer, but there was nothing else related to the shamans, so she gave up.
In the evening, Yuan Hetong and Yuan Hecong came together. They also brought some medical books from the Imperial Medical Office.
"What's this?" Yi Qing took out the book about Shamanic medical meaning.
"Oh, this is a classic from the Northern Di Temple. It's written in the Northern Di language and contains some things about the shamans." Yuan Hetong had studied this and knew it better.
"Translate it for me." Yi Qing handed the book to Yuan Hetong.
There was indeed a record of the purple glass. However, according to the record in the Shamanic medical meaning, it was a most pious ritual for the believers. They would dedicate themselves to protecting the Shamanic god and redeem all their sins. Later, it was used to make living servants.
"Does it mention how to detoxify the purple glass?" Yi Qing was worried.
"There is a divine spring in the Northern Di Temple. Only by bathing in the divine spring can one wash away their sins and regain freedom." Yuan Hetong felt strange after reading it. "Why is Lady Xiao suddenly so interested in the purple glass?"
Yi Qing smiled. "I saw this in the classics and I'm very interested."
Yuan Hetong didn't think so.
After he finished translating the Shamanic medical meaning, the two brothers bid farewell.
"Brother, General Xiao is seriously injured now. Why is Lady Xiao suddenly so interested in the purple glass poison?" Yuan Hecong asked in a low voice.
The two brothers looked at each other and knew what was going on. It seemed that General Xiao wasn't seriously injured but poisoned.
"Don't mention this to anyone." Yuan Hetong warned.
"Of course. But..." Yuan Hecong was worried that the Great Jin would be in turmoil.
There were many controversies about Xiao Jinghan in the Great Jin, but no one denied that he was the guardian god of the Great Jin. As long as Xiao Jinghan was still alive, they would feel at ease.
Yi Qing guessed that the Yuan brothers would notice. She had no other choice. According to her knowledge of the purple glass poison, it might be a kind of spore that reproduced in the human body. Once it reproduced to a certain extent, it would stiffen the body.
So no matter how much blood she let out from Xiao Jinghan, there would still be some spores left in his body.
"The Northern Di Temple." Yi Qing thought for a moment and immediately ran to find Xiao Jinghan.
Xiao Jinghan was practicing his internal skills and didn't feel any discomfort in his body. Was Yi Qing just being too nervous?
Yi Qing pushed open the door and saw Xiao Jinghan practicing his internal skills. "Are you crazy?"
"My minor injury is nothing." Xiao Jinghan didn't care.
"I want to ask you something. After the Northern Di spies take the city defense map to the border city, will they immediately attack the Great Jin?"
"Probably." Xiao Jinghan wasn't very sure.
"We'll set off for Li City in three days. This time, we'll fight all the way to the Northern Di imperial city." Yi Qing said directly.
Xiao Jinghan didn't know why Yi Qing suddenly wanted to do this. "It's almost impossible. The Northern Di imperial city is thousands of miles away from Li City. There will be no supplies on the way. We can't afford the losses just running there. Moreover, the Northern Di people have a different lifestyle from ours. When we attack, they'll run away. When we withdraw, they'll follow us. For them, as long as there is water and grass, they're okay."
"I don't care. Anyway, this time, we'll fight until the Northern Di seeks peace." Yi Qing was being unreasonable.
"Why are you suddenly so concerned about this?" Xiao Jinghan was puzzled.
"Only the divine spring in the Northern Di Temple can detoxify the purple glass." Yi Qing said seriously.
