Chapter 75 Li Wan, you are quite courageous
After Crown Prince Xiao Zhuo was demoted by the Emperor, everyone associated with him was implicated, with Xiao Zhuo's maternal family bearing the brunt of the consequences. However, Xiao Zhuo's maternal uncle, the Marquis of Pingyang, was only stripped of his title, and his family was not significantly implicated.
Xiao Zhuo was very surprised that the person in front of him had come from afar to join the army.
"Why did my aunt come here?"
Upon hearing this, Li burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. The girl who was supporting her also started to sob softly. As they cried so passionately, the two of them hugged each other.
Xiao Zhuo seemed not to be good at dealing with women. Seeing the two of them hugging each other and crying, he just stood there blankly.
Shen Yuexi stood aside and couldn't help thinking: This is what it's like when Sister Daiyu enters the Rongguo Mansion. Everyone has to hug her and cry bitterly to show their close relationship.
But Madam Li is probably crying for the wrong reason. Xiao Zhuo is a man, how could he possibly cry with you?
She was not familiar with Mrs. Li, let alone had never met her, so she really couldn't cry as soon as she met her. But seeing Mrs. Li crying, Shen Yuexi could only silently pull out a handkerchief from her sleeve and hand it to her.
"Ma'am, please wipe it."
The clear spring-like voice, like a cool breeze, made the two people who were hugging each other and crying stop abruptly, and they looked up at Shen Yuexi at the same time.
Shen Yuexi let them look at her, still with a faint smile on her face, standing facing the wind, her figure as graceful as an immortal.
"This...you are the Second Miss Shen from the Shen Mansion?" Li did not take the handkerchief, but took out a handkerchief herself to wipe her tears, "What's your name, Shen?"
Seeing that she didn't take it, Shen Yuexi put it back into her sleeve as if nothing had happened.
She is not used to letting outsiders use it, so Li's reaction is just right.
Xiao Zhuo glanced at Li, frowning slightly. The initial surprise in his expression gradually faded, and his face became a little colder.
Li saw Xiao Zhuo's expression between her fingers, paused in her wiping motion, and glanced at Shen Yuexi again. She said, "I remember now, your name is Shen Yuexi, right?"
"Exactly."
Shen Yuexi tilted her head and gave her a faint smile. No matter how Li tried to act like an elder, it was like punching cotton, and she didn't know how to exert any strength.
Li nodded slightly, and without looking at Shen Yuexi again, turned her gaze to Xiao Zhuo.
"Your Highness, your cousin and I were kicked out of the Marquis's Mansion and have nowhere to go. Now we have no choice but to come to you for refuge. From now on, we will be a family."
After Li finished speaking, she pulled the girl over and pointed at her and said to Xiao Zhuo, "This is your cousin Li Wan."
The girl had a pretty face, and was wearing a coarse blue dress with a sky-blue silk ribbon tied around her waist, which gave her a unique charm.
Li Wan is Li's only daughter. When Li came this time, she could have stayed in the Marquis' Mansion, but she still insisted on being with Li.
Just based on this filial piety, one can indeed look up to him.
Li Wan raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Zhuo secretly. He was indeed graceful, handsome, elegant and noble.
People who could only be admired from afar in the past are now right in front of us.
She smiled shyly, her jade-like face perfectly composed, and bowed to Xiao Zhuo: "Brother Crown Prince."
Xiao Zhuo frowned and glanced at her. Li Wan realized his gaze and lowered her head shyly, thinking that the prince was looking at her differently. But she heard a cold and distant voice from above her head.
"I am no longer the crown prince. From now on, you are not allowed to speak of the crown prince's affairs," Xiao Zhuo said, his eyes falling on Li. "From now on, your aunt and Miss Li can live with my wife. We will be treated equally in terms of food, clothing, housing and other necessities."
After she finished speaking, the corners of Li Wan's mouth froze, and she looked at Xiao Zhuo with a bit of disbelief.
Xiao Zhuo had a lot of things to do, and many soldiers followed him, so he had to arrange the subsequent deployment of defenses personally.
After saying this, Xiao Zhuo whispered a few words in Shen Yuexi's ear and left with Meng Yue.
When Li Wan saw that Xiao Zhuo didn't say a word to her, the smile on her face froze and she almost lost control of it.
She looked at the tall figure, biting her lower lip tightly, and crumpling the handkerchief in her hand.
There was always a faint smile on Shen Yuexi's lips, but it did not reach her eyes.
Seeing this, Li only coughed dryly, interrupting her daughter's absent-minded look, and said to Shen Yuexi:
"Miss Chen, from now on you can call me Madam. Wan'er, come and meet Miss Chen."
Li Wan then withdrew her gaze and fixed it on Shen Yuexi, looking at her sideways with her head tilted.
Is this the prince’s bride?
When in the capital, the second young lady of the Shen family was rarely heard of when the noble ladies gathered together. Instead, the eldest young lady of the Shen family, Shen Lan, came out to the gathering. Shen Lan was known for her talent and was also outstanding in appearance.
But as for the position of Crown Princess, the status of the eldest daughter of the Shen family is still a little inferior.
But who could have imagined that the Shen family was so cruel and ruthless that they would send this unknown second young lady over.
However, this Second Miss Shen is much better looking than the First Miss Shen. Just standing there, she has an air of unrestrained and free-spiritedness.
It's hard to look away.
Shen Yuexi met her scrutinizing gaze gracefully and gave her a faint smile: "Madam and Miss Li have worked hard all the way. Why don't you come down the mountain with me and rest at home?"
This girl is quite bold. She actually dares to flirt with Xiao Zhuo in front of her.
Since these two people don't take her seriously, she doesn't need to be polite.
As long as she's not starving and can save face, that's enough. Forget about expecting her to be sincere.
As soon as Xiao Zhuo left, Madam Li straightened her back, acted like an elder, stretched out a hand, and pretended to ask for her support.
The corner of Shen Yuexi's mouth twitched, and she was speechless.
Mrs. Li is also a strange person. She has come to this remote place, but she still acts like a rich lady.
She clenched her fist and coughed dryly, then turned around as if nothing had happened, flicked a leaf off her shoulder, and ignored Li's displeased look as she walked around.
Mrs. Li and Li Wan were not familiar with Xiaogang Village and didn't know where to go, so they had to follow behind.
Since she finally got out, of course she had to take a good look around and collect some materials.
The garlic extract capsules we made previously are already on sale, but they are only used to treat lung and gastrointestinal diseases and have no effect on wound infections.
There will probably be a fierce battle with the Western Rong people next.
She had to be prepared.
When two armies fight, there will be a large number of casualties. If there are anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, the casualties can be minimized.
She walked and thought.
To disinfect, you can just extract 75% of alcohol from wine. This is easy to do.
But antibiotics, things of the future, are really hard to make, and most of them are chemically synthesized into finished drugs.
Some chemical ingredients are not here.
Then it can only be extracted from the most primitive rotten animals, plants and meat.
Then all you need to do is prepare enough rotten plants and animals and use the universal manufacturing mechanism to make antibiotics.
It is not impossible to cultivate these by ourselves, but without a sterile experimental environment, we are afraid that the extracted fungi may not be pure enough, and that using them may worsen the condition.
Before she knew it, she had walked around for a long time, until she reached the foot of the mountain, and then she led Li and Li Wan home.
