Xiao Lingyue tried to move the ornament with her hands, but found that it was fixed on the shelf and could not be moved.
She tried it left and right again, found the position of the mechanism, and turned it gently.
"Click!" A clear voice sounded.
Xiao Lingyue looked around and saw that a small section of one of the partitions on the bookshelf had popped open, revealing a mezzanine space the size of a palm underneath.
"It's quite well hidden! If you don't find the right mechanism, you may not be able to dig it out even if you dismantle the entire bookshelf, right?"
Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows, reached out from the mezzanine and took out two small medicine bottles and a token of unknown use.
The medicine bottle is only two fingers thick, has a long and slender body, and is sealed with wax.
There is no writing on the bottle, so I don’t know what is inside.
Xiao Lingyue opened a bottle directly, and inside were small black pills, exuding a pungent and fishy smell.
She picked up one, smelled it, and licked it on the tip of her tongue. The very bitter and strange taste made her facial features wrinkle up, but her eyes suddenly lit up.
"What are you doing?" The man's deep and cold voice suddenly came.
Before Xiao Lingyue had time to speak, Zhan Beihan strode over, reached for the medicine bottle in her hand, and frowned: "What is this?"
Xiao Lingyue wrinkled her face, but her expression was filled with joy. She didn't pay attention to Zhan Beihan's slightly cold words, and said happily: "This should be the antidote to the poisonous sting of a dead soldier!"
Zhan Beihan paused and looked at her sideways: "Are you sure?"
Xiao Lingyue nodded: "You can't be wrong! Most of Nan Yan's palace secret poisons have no cure, and it is difficult to detoxify them with normal drugs. The so-called antidote is actually another kind of poison, but the toxicity is incompatible.
After taking it, it can fight poison with poison and achieve the effect of detoxification."
After saying that, she urged: "Finally found it, take one quickly to detoxify the poison in your body first!"
Zhan Beihan's face darkened a bit when he heard her excited voice.
He held the medicine bottle and said coldly: "You know this thing is poisonous, but you still dare to put it in your mouth?"
Xiao Lingyue was stunned: "How can I know if it is an antidote if I don't try it?"
"Who asked you to try it yourself!"
"If I don't try it myself, why should I let you try it? Can you tell which one is the antidote?" Xiao Lingyue retorted.
Zhan Beihan: ""
He couldn't refute for a moment and could only stare at her with a dark face.
Xiao Lingyue blinked and suddenly realized: "Are you worried that I will be poisoned?"
Zhan Beihan continued to stare at her.
Only then did Xiao Lingyue become convinced and said helplessly: "I'm not an ignorant child. How could I put something in my mouth when I see it? I've seen many of these pills. They are poisonous or not, and how toxic they are.
I can tell the difference by smelling it. If you only taste a small amount, it will be fine."
Zhan Bei said coldly: "You mean, I am worried for nothing?"
Xiao Lingyue: ""
She complained in her heart, but wasn't it just a waste of worry?
Zhan Beihan didn't understand medical science, and he was as distant as a mountain. In Xiao Lingyue's opinion, the things he was worried about were unnecessary.
However, looking at the man's gloomy and displeased expression, she did not dare to tell the truth. Otherwise, the man's childish spirit of holding grudges would be very annoying.
Xiao Lingyue said politely: "That's not what I meant. In short, you have to try this medicine before you can judge accurately. I am also responsible for your body! What if you haven't detoxified the old poison and used the wrong medicine again?
Is it troublesome?"
She racked her brains to find an explanation.
Zhan Beihan said angrily: "How much more do I need to thank you for your trouble?"
Xiao Lingyue: "Uh"
She smiled and made some perfunctory remarks, quickly skipped the topic, and urged: "Anyway, you take the antidote first, and I'll go outside and watch."
