Xiao Qinglan clicked his tongue impatiently.

Liu Suifeng immediately straightened up his attitude and said, ”Alright, alright. Let's get down to business.”

He put his elbows on the table and leaned toward her. ”Has Beauty ever heard of the Seven Day Curse?”

Xiao Qingyi knitted her brows: ”I don't know much about these things. What is it?”

”It's normal for beauties to not know about it. I've only seen this poison in medical books, and I've never seen it in my many years of practicing medicine.” The Seven Day Curse is a combination of chronic and potent poison that will penetrate deep into one's bone marrow. Although the victim normally looks no different from a normal person, there will be two days of poison every month. ”

”When the poison appears, your entire body will be boiling hot and your mind will be muddled. All the suppression, greed, bloodlust, and other vile natures in your body will be released. Those with weak minds will be like ferocious beasts, completely devoid of humanity.”

Xiao Qing Ran's eyes darkened as she subconsciously clenched her hands under her sleeves. In her mind, she recalled that man's appearance at the hot spring that day.

”Moreover, this poison has a trigger, because according to one's physique, the poisons that are infected are different from one another. However, before the poison appears, one must encounter this' trigger 'within seven days.”

Xiao Qing was confused, ”Then what if we don't meet?”

”If the 'cause' did not appear seven days before the poison was released, then he would not have been infected by the poison in the current month. However, the next cycle will begin again.” Liu Suifeng laughed helplessly, ”The so-called 'Seven Day Curse' is like a spell that comes and goes without rest.”

Although the infected people would not die, they had to worry and suffer for days and nights. If they could not find the source, they had to endure that pain every month. This was an extremely vicious medicine.

Xiao Qingyi knitted her brows: ”Can you solve it?”

”Beauty, you should know that the more complicated this poison is, the more ingredients there are for testing. If I can't find the 'trigger', even I have some …”

Liu Suifeng did not say anything after that, but Xiao Qing Qing understood what he meant.

It was likely that Su Qianhan knew about this as well, which was why he had left this person in the mansion for so many days without mentioning the matter of the antidote.

If they couldn't find the 'cause', even if there was a genius doctor around, it would be meaningless.

”What does that beauty want?”

Xiao Qingran put a hand to her temple and shook her head: ”I don't know, but I will find the reason as soon as possible. You should stay here for a while longer.”

Even though she said that, Xiao Qingran did not know what to do. Su Qianhan had not been able to find her for so many years, how could he let her find her in just a few days?

Liu Suifeng nodded happily in agreement.

After all, it was a good place to eat and drink. He didn't need to travel in the wind and rain, and he often had beauties to accompany him. It wasn't the best way to live.

After the two of them had finished talking, Liu Suifeng sent them out. As soon as Xiao Qing returned to the general's mansion, she was informed that there was a teacher's aunt in the mansion who wanted the etiquette of the two ladies.

Although he said he would teach the two of them, it was mainly because of Xiao Qing Ran.

Riko was the one who said this. ”That ritual aunt is actually someone from the palace. Perhaps the crown prince knew that the young lady didn't know much about etiquette, so he came to see you because he was afraid it would be inconvenient in the future.”

”However, because the matter between the young miss and the crown prince hasn't been settled yet, it would be inconvenient for the palace to talk too much. So, let's say that our residence has invited a tutoring aunt from outside for the sake of the two young misses' recuperation.”

Xiao Qing Qing clearly understood the painstaking efforts of those people, but she was the one who decided whether to accept it or not.

He had just returned from the Residence of Han, and Xiao Qing Ran's mind was filled with the 'Seven Day Curse'. Xiao Qing Ran did not have the mood to care about formality and etiquette.

However, since she was from the palace, Xiao Qing Qing could not be too extreme. She let Ri-Er report that she wanted her aunt to stay in the manor for now. She would ask her aunt to stay there until she was better.

Rio'er responded to her master and helped her find quite a few medical books.

She should make up for it by taking some supplementary lessons. Even if she couldn't find a way to cure the poison, she at least had to understand a little bit more so that she wouldn't have to avoid encountering that hot spring in the future.

But speaking of poison, it suddenly reminded her of what Zhao Xin'er had said at the sacrificial ceremony that day.

The matter regarding his mother had always been a mystery.
