Upon hearing Zhong Muyu's words, the villagers simultaneously stopped their discussion.

Sister-in-law Zheng said, "This is absolutely unacceptable! You are a princess..."

"The princess's condition is the most important thing; saving lives is paramount. Zaochun, get all irrelevant people out!"

After saying that, Zhong Muyu pushed past the old man, leaving only the few of them in the room.

She collected some of the poisoned blood and put it into her sleeve, asking Butler 4601 to test it for her. She remembered that there were antitoxin serum and other drugs in the storage room deep inside the space.

The old man had already given Uncle Zheng some basic treatment. Now, Zhong Muyu only applied some disinfectant to the wound, and the antitoxin serum came out shortly afterward.

Both Sister-in-law Zheng and Zaochun were startled when they saw the syringe in Zhong Muyu's hand.

Sister-in-law Zheng asked with some skepticism, "Your Highness, will this really work?"

"Don't worry, this is the most useful."

After saying that, Zhong Muyu quickly injected the antitoxin serum into Uncle Zheng's body.

"Alright, now we just have to wait for him to wake up. Fortunately, it was a snake with weak venom, and with timely treatment, his life was saved."

Zhong Muyu spoke in an ordinary tone, but in Zheng Dasao's eyes now, it carried a convincing power.

Many things have happened in the past few days, making her increasingly feel that the princess is no ordinary woman.

Early spring still left her worried: "Are you sure everything's okay?"

"Of course there's no problem! Why don't you believe me!"

"No, it's just that Your Highness has never studied medicine before, and I'm worried about it."

"What's there to be afraid of? Just because I don't know medicine doesn't mean I can't buy medicine for injuries. There are so many snakes, insects, and rodents in these deep mountains and forests, I have to have some on hand."

That's right, that makes perfect sense.

After a while, Uncle Zheng slowly woke up.

"Old Zheng! You're awake, thank goodness! Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Hearing Sister-in-law Zheng's voice from the inner room, Zhong Muyu and Zaochun put down their teacups and went inside.

Uncle Zheng shook his head: "I just feel a little tired."

"It was the Princess Consort who saved you! She gave you her own antidote, so why don't you thank her quickly!"

"Ah? So it's the Princess Consort? This old servant kowtows to thank Your Highness for saving my life!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zheng immediately jumped up and was about to kneel down when Zhong Muyu stopped him.

"Don't kneel down so easily. This is Qingshui Village, we don't stand on ceremony."

After sitting down, Uncle Zheng couldn't stop thanking her: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving this old servant. I am truly humbled."

"Let's not talk about that now. There's everything on the mountain at this time of year. Just be careful when you're working in the future."

Uncle Zheng sighed, "Alas, it was my carelessness. Actually, there aren't many poisonous snakes and wild beasts in this area, but we still have to be careful. Your Highness, you must also be careful and not go to the mountains alone in the future."

Sister-in-law Zheng chimed in, "Yes, I'm still shaken by what happened today. Your Highness, perhaps you shouldn't go to the hot springs in the mountains anymore. If you wish to take a bath, just let us know, and we'll do our best."

Zhong Muyu was about to thank them when Uncle Zheng suddenly exclaimed, "What? You're letting the Princess go to the hot springs on the mountain? Do you know how dangerous that is?"

Sister-in-law Zheng looked guilty: "I...I meant well..."

Zhong Muyu quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, alright, I have my own ideas about this, so don't worry about it."

"..."

After calming down Uncle Zheng and his wife who were about to argue, Zhong Muyu and Zaochun left the side room. Zaochun patted her chest with lingering fear and said, "Your Highness, it's good that we came back early. I told you that the mountain is very dangerous. For your safety, please don't go there in the future."

"That makes sense..."

Zhong Muyu responded verbally, but her gaze fell on the thick bamboo poles piled in the corner.

Those were leftover materials from renovating the house; there's a lot of bamboo in this area, and the quality is quite good.

Early Spring was still talking to herself: "Then this servant will go to the village to inquire about a skilled carpenter and make you a large bathtub. If Your Highness wants to take a bath, this servant will heat up a large tub of water for you. It will definitely feel just like soaking in a hot spring!"

"That would exhaust you! But I do need a skilled carpenter, so go and look for one."

"Ah? Okay, then this servant will go and inquire right away."

Zao Chun looked bewildered. She had just noticed that Zhong Muyu was deep in thought, so she guessed he had some ideas up his sleeve.

When the person was found in early spring, Zhong Muyu was drawing in the hall, looking very focused.

"Your Highness, this is the best carpenter in the village."

The carpenter bowed and said, "This humble subject pays respects to Your Highness, the Princess!"

"No need for such formalities."

Zhong Muyu stood up and handed him the drawing she had just finished.

The carpenter reached out his calloused hand, took the document, and examined it, but couldn't make heads or tails of it.

"Do you think it's possible to make such a long tube out of bamboo?"

The carpenter analyzed, "If it were just pipes, it would be easy; many people like to use bamboo to make water pipes. It's just that there are a few things I don't understand."

Seeing where the carpenter was pointing, Zhong Muyu smiled and said, "Don't worry about those places, I'll help with the preparations. You just need to work on the water pipes. How long will it take?"

The carpenter thought for a moment and said, "For this length, two days will suffice. I have plenty of bamboo of this thickness, so there's no need to cut any extra."

"Thank you so much! The sooner the better!"

Zhong Muyu summoned Zaochun and gave the carpenter a deposit. After the carpenter left, Zaochun asked curiously, "What is the princess going to do now?"

“I see that everyone works very hard carrying water every day, so I want to try to build a water pipe. There are plenty of water sources around Qingshui Village, so it should be easy to bring water here. Then we will achieve water freedom!”
