The northern tribe was getting impatient.
It didn’t take long for them to reach the courtyard and Nan Hua stopped on the edge. Her sensitive senses clearly detect the unusual amount of medicine in the air.
"Second Senior Sister, did you spread poison in your own courtyard?" Nan Hua asked unhurriedly.
Lin Xia walked out of her residence, her body was thin and haggard. Compared to a few months ago, she looked like she lost a few more kilograms and looked like a dying person.
Seeing her appearance, Wei Da Lang frowned.
"Did you abuse yourself?"
"For both of you, the answer is no." Lin Xia took a deep breath and slowly sat down in front of the house. She maintained a large distance between her and the other two people in front of her. "The poison broke out faster and I need more medicine to maintain my body."
Maintain the body?
Nan Hua’s eyes flickered.
If she was not wrong, Shangguan Yu used to do the same thing in order to maintain his fake sister’s life. In order to make sure that she could stay alive, he asked for prescription from Kuang Sheng that could allow her to live even when her body was broken.
But it would not last long.
This kind of method could only prolong the death for a short period of time.
The reason why Nan Hua knew about it was because she had discussed about the possibility of prolonging the life of a terminally ill patient. Traveling Doctor Liu proposed this method, but he said that this kind of method should not be used often.
Because the medicine was diffused in the air and might affect the people around them who was in close contact with that person.
So unless it was necessary, they should avoid using this method.
But later on, Nan Hua received information from the few people she planted in Cheng City about what Shangguan Yu was doing. It could be said that this cruel man didn’t seem to care at all about what happened to the people who came into contact with his fake sister.
Nor did he care whether his fake sister’s body could hold on or not.
Now, Lin Xia used the same method.
Presumably, it should be Traveling Doctor Liu who had told her about the possibility of this method.
"You’re about to die," Wei Da Lang said, his voice was certain.
Lin Xia showed a weak smile. "Isn’t it obvious?"
That poison was actually not a fatal poison.
Because the Lin Family looked down on those people who came from the north. As the medical family that had been passed down for so many years in Zhang Xu Kingdom, how could they be willing to cooperate with the northern tribe?
Fan Yi Kingdom would eat them all up!
Moreover, they were also located at the border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom.
So if they were not careful enough, they would be found out.
But in the end, some elders were greedy and the money that these people offered were a lot. They designed this special poison that would not have much effect aside from making one’s body temperature lower.
In other places, this was not fatal. Even in the hot places, this would be medicine instead of poison.
But in the north area, this kind of poison was fatal.
The temperature was already cold enough and people were trying their best to raise their body temperature through wearing enough clothing. But this poison made their effort useless as their body temperature was forcibly lowered slightly.
For people with weaker physique, this was the same as inviting death.
And for people who were not used to the cold temperature, it was even more so.
