This wasn’t the first time Li Xiaoran had made instant noodles, so she was familiar with making them.
Two hours later, a bunch of instant noodles was made. Next, they needed to make some seasoning bags.
In order to make the soup of the instant noodles tastier, Li Xiaoran put in a great deal of effort.
The chicken and fish were made into soup. After picking out the bones and meat dregs, they used the soup as the base soup for the instant noodles.
After that, she added some fried eggs, vegetables, and spring onions. An extravagant bowl of instant noodles was ready.
It had to be said that the noodles tasted delicious. When Luo Cheng and the others came out to eat again, the group actually finished a large bucket of instant noodles.
Seeing that this group of people really liked the instant noodles, Li Xiaoran recalled the way to make condiment bags for instant noodles.
In the end, Li Xiaoran ground the chicken and fish into powder and mixed it with salt to make a seasoning bag.
As for the oil of the broth, Li Xiaoran made a basin of braised pork.
When the group was hungry and wanted to eat it, they could spoon some pork into a bowl and add some mixed condiments. Then, a simple bowl of instant noodles would be ready.
Li Xiaoran cooked a lot, so she simply sent some to the Eldest Princess and the others.
Just like that, the entire farmstead was filled with the smell of instant noodles.
However, no matter how delicious the instant noodles were, they couldn’t be eaten every day!
Besides, it wasn’t nutritious to eat instant noodles over a long time, so Li Xiaoran cooked some fried chicken and crispy meat too.
With delicious food to fill their stomachs, Luo Cheng and the others were more energetic.
After ten days of research, they finally had some success.m
Whenever a man became agitated, he became quiet after Luo Cheng sprayed some antidote on him.
This didn’t refer to the state where one fell asleep after taking the knockout drug, nor did it refer to the state where one’s body was numb and unable to move. Instead, the person slowly regained rationality.
While this person regained his senses, Luo Cheng asked some questions.
This person didn’t hide anything and cooperated by recalling what he had done before his mania acted up.
If there was one, there would be a second.
As more and more people regained their rationality, the information Luo Cheng gathered became more and more comprehensive.
Luo Cheng understood more and more about what these people were drugged with.
Just like that, Luo Cheng’s antidote became more and more complete.
Those people could only stay awake for half an hour at first, but later on, they stayed awake for longer and longer periods of time.
It wasn’t until another seven days pa.s.sed that everyone who had mania stopped acting up.
Luo Cheng felt that the antidote for mania had been successfully developed.
However, for safety reasons, Luo Cheng left these people behind to observe.
Luo Cheng sent some more antidotes to the maniac people who had been placed with the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu.
Soon, news came from the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu that those people had regained their rationality after taking it.
Just like that, both sides observed at the same time to see if these people would relapse after taking the antidote.
The capital had been closed off for twenty days, but there was still no movement from inside.
Even someone as levelheaded as the Eldest Princess felt uneasy at this moment.
The capital couldn’t continue to be closed off. If this continued, there would really be chaos.
Just as the Eldest Princess was wondering if she should find someone to break into the capital, Luo Cheng and the others finally appeared in front of everyone.
“Luo Cheng, how is it? Have you developed the antidote?” The Eldest Princess asked expectantly.
Luo Cheng nodded and replied, “Auntie, don’t worry. The antidote has been developed. After taking it, people won’t go crazy anymore. However, how long the effect of this medicine will last remains to be seen. But in this situation, we can’t care about that much anymore! The capital needs these antidotes!”
“Do you know anything about the situation in the capital?” the Eldest Princess asked when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.
Luo Cheng nodded and said something that rea.s.sured everyone.
“Just as we guessed previously, there are also many people with mania in the capital. Because these people relapse every day and the government office can’t control so many people, the emperor ordered the city gate to be closed. Now, not only in the capital, but even in the royal family, there are many people with mania. What’s even more worrying is that every day, there are people who suddenly go crazy. Under such circ.u.mstances, my father has no choice but to put the capital in lockdown to control the situation!”
“In that case, no one mutinied?” The Eldest Princess thought of something and said.
“I’m not sure 11 meres a mutiny, DUE me capital neeas mese anuaotes now, so 1 have to send some antidotes in. Moreover, I need to get some herbs from the various medicine shops in the capital to make them. After all, I don’t have enough herbs to make these antidotes!” Luo Cheng said.
In that case, entering the capital was imperative.
However, the capital’s door was closed and there were many people watching, so how to enter was a problem.
Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked, “Will the people in the capital still shoot those messenger pigeons that fly into the capital now?”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he didn’t understand why she asked this.
“The guards in the capital are in a mess now. No one is paying attention to the messenger pigeon anymore, so the letter was delivered to me!”
“If that’s the case, things will be easy!” Li Xiaoran smiled and said, “Since we’re going in, why don’t we fly in?!”
When the Eldest Princess heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she thought of something.
“Can we use the method of leaving the farmstead to enter the capital?”
Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “The capital has no tall trees nearby, so the previous method is useless. When I say fly, I mean really flying in. Of course, we definitely have to use some tools!”
As Li Xiaoran spoke, she asked someone to get paper and a burned wooden stick.
She quickly drew a simple glider on the white paper.
“We need to practice how to use this thing. It’s relatively easy to build. We can use the wind to fly towards the middle of the capital from a small mountain not far away.” Li Xiaoran briefly explained how to use this glider.
After Luo Cheng looked at the thing on the drawing paper, he asked with uncertainty, “Do you really think this can bring us into the capital?”
“Of course, it’s just a little risky. Why don’t you guys throw some iron claws up at night to bring you guys over the wall with a rope?!” Li Xiaoran suggested another method..
