Todayâs weather is really nice, the sun blazing overhead, and thereâs no shade outside the Meridian Gate, so the crowd watching the spectacle has slowly started to dwindle.
"Those damned nuns cheated me out of a lot of silver." Suddenly, a woman shouted as she rushed forward, carrying a bucket, "Get out of the way, let that damned Abbess taste my slop water..."
The crowd immediately parted to make a path.
Yu Qingge also pulled Yang Ruxin slightly to the side: "Iâve smelled the sour stench from far away."
Yang Ruxin sniffed and then raised her wrist, Xiaolun and her family seemed a bit agitated. Suddenly, her expression changed; the womanâs bucket did not contain slop water but poison.
At the same time, she noticed those people across the way collectively pulling out cloths to cover their mouths and noses and drew their weapons.
"Get out of the way, thereâs poison." Yang Ruxin shouted, pushing Yu Qingge towards Xuxu, "Protect your lady and leave first." Then she instantly threw Xiaolun at the woman.
Simultaneously, Xiaoyin and Silver darted out, but they headed towards those masked people.
"Miss!" Xuxu tightly protected Yu Qingge.
"Letâs quickly find a safe place, donât add trouble for my sister." Yu Qingge didnât pretend to be brave and instead turned and dragged Xuxu to run toward a distant place, only stopping when she felt safe.
Yang Ruxinâs shout made the people around them freeze for a moment, then they began to scatter away.
The masked men had already charged at Abbess Nianyi, and instantly started fighting with the Imperial Guards and the Experts.
That woman evidently didnât expect anyone to see through their plot, her expression instantly turned ferocious as she raised the bucket to splash it toward the crowd.
But just as she lifted the bucket, a green light flashed by, the woman suddenly fell to the ground, and the entire bucket of poison spilled onto herself.
Then everyone watched as the previously living woman started to blacken and rot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The excruciating pain made the woman scream and struggle, lunging toward the crowd.
People who were too slow to flee and were close by were immediately grabbed by her, causing screams to rise.
However, an Imperial Guard quickly rushed over and chopped off the womanâs arm with a sword.
Yet, the skin of the person she grabbed began to rot.
"Quickly eat this." Yang Ruxin couldnât care about much else, she went over and stuffed a medicine pill into that personâs mouth, then pulled out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the grabbed arm, finally handing over the bottle, "Wash it off with strong liquor tomorrow and sprinkle the powder over it, no alcohol, youâll be fine in half a month."
"Thank you." The man bowed gratefully to Yang Ruxin. After eating the pill and applying the powder, the pain really subsided.
"Donât thank me, itâs the medicine given by the wife of Ningyuan General, sheâs a little Divine Doctor." Yang Ruxin waved her hand, "If you want to thank someone, thank Madam Gu."
The man ran off with gratitude, and of course, after going home and applying the medicine as Yang Ruxin instructed, his arm was indeed healed. Thus, his entire family tirelessly spread the word about the little Divine Doctor Madam Gu, and to distinguish from Madam Gu Sheng, they directly referred to Yang Ruxin as Madam Xiaogu, but thatâs a story for another time.
