Chapter 354 Don’t move around here. I’ll buy you some oranges.

He Zhaojun felt a slight headache and couldn't help but rub her temples. Why did this feel so familiar to her? "So, you want me to pretend to be Lord Zhao and marry her to the prince of Central Plains?"

"That's inappropriate. I look Han Chinese, how could I possibly fool the princes? Furthermore, as a princess, Zhao Jun must be very familiar with the Baiyue people of Lingnan. But I know nothing about them. I'll be exposed on the first day."

Zhao Hu waved his hands repeatedly: "Jun'er is the offspring of the king and the girl from the Central Plains. She doesn't look much different from you. Besides, she usually stays at home, so there's no need to worry about being discovered."

"As for other aspects, you can learn them later..." Zhao Hu was interrupted by a burst of chaotic footsteps when he said this. He looked towards the door in confusion, only to see a man dressed as a servant hurriedly coming to the screen and bowing to the ground.

He straightened his hat, took a few breaths, and finally spoke, "Lord Zhao, the fleet has returned from the long voyage... The people on board are in critical condition. Could Your Majesty please go and see them?"

When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately put down his chopsticks and said, "You wait here first. I want to go see my people first." As he said this, he was about to get up and leave. He Zhaojun stopped eating and followed him to leave.

However, He Zhaojun knew that someone had seen the real Princess Jun'er. In order to avoid being exposed, she took off the half-face crane mask and feather decoration hanging on the wall, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

The two were surrounded by their followers and came to a simple dock, but they only saw many thin wounded soldiers groaning in the houses on the side, with blood dripping from their mouths. They looked at the food on the side but couldn't swallow any of it.

The shaman quickly saluted Zhao Hu and said, "These warriors couldn't eat. Their mouths were rotten, and many of them had lost their teeth. They died of high fever on the boat."

Zhao Hu was shocked when he saw this, because these people were carefully selected by him, and they were the best young and strong people in swimming and boat driving. If they all became like this, who would be able to explore more possibilities for his people in the wind and waves?

He Zhaojun looked for a while, and suddenly picked some light green oranges from the tree outside the house. These fruits were not yet ripe, had a sour smell, and were not delicious.

"Eat one, and you'll feel better." He Zhaojun peeled the orange and placed the juicy flesh into the man's hand. An image flashed through her mind: she had once told someone to always carry sour, astringent fruits that lasted long voyages.

Zhao Hu shook his head: "Jun'er, this is just an ordinary unripe fruit, it has no healing effect."

"Yes, if it doesn't work, I'm willing to accept the punishment." He Zhaojun said this with great confidence. Many people with milder symptoms were frightened by the people lying down. They were also afraid of becoming like their companions, so they simply grabbed the sour fruits and swallowed them in big mouthfuls.

Who would have thought that by the evening, many people with milder symptoms felt that they could use their strength again and their pain was much relieved. Those who only drank the medicine prescribed by the witch also saw some improvement, but it was not very obvious.

Once this pattern was discovered, everyone started eating oranges crazily while drinking the medicine. Many unripe fruits on the trees were picked and went into the stomachs of these sailors.

"I didn't know that the fruits we eat every day can save lives." Zhao Hu looked at He Zhaojun in surprise. How did she know that this ordinary fruit could save the lives of sailors?
