Chapter 88 He ran away with the medicinal herbs!
Xiangying took the military doctor to check, and luckily it was a false alarm.
The two men just had common diarrhea, so Xiangying gave them some herbal medicine.
When she returned to the first ship, the military doctor followed her and asked anxiously:
"Can the medicine I have cure the plague? Just tell me the truth!"
The military doctor knew very well what diseases his medicine could cure.
How is it possible to deal with the plague?
Xiangying hummed, without looking away: "It can be cured."
She planned to add her own special ingredients to the herbs.
With the combined use of Chinese and Western medicine, those suffering from plague will definitely see improvement within two days.
Seeing that Xiangying was unwilling to say more, the military doctor's brows became even more worried.
at night.
Xiangying went to visit the children, and when he came out, he ran into Scarface on the deck.
It seemed that he came here specifically to wait for Xiangying.
"What do you want from me?"
"Princess, I want to..." He dragged out his words, looked around, coughed lightly, and lowered his voice, "I want to ask for medicine for Concubine Liu."
Xiangying raised an eyebrow: "You don't believe I can cure her either?"
“No, no, no!” Scarface waved his hands hastily. “I saw that her condition was more serious. Those people in the cabin complained that they were hungry at night and ate a lot. Only Concubine Liu stayed in the corner without eating or drinking.”
He frowned, a little worried: "So I wonder if she doesn't have enough medicine?"
Xiangying pursed her red lips and said, "No, I prescribed the medicine strictly according to her age and condition."
Scarface could only swallow his heart back into his stomach when he heard this.
"That's good... I hope she can pull through."
Xiangying raised her eyebrows and teased him, "You didn't want to care about her before, why do you regard her as your responsibility now?"
Scarface sighed and said, "She is an old widower who is all alone. She is pitiful. We should help her if we can."
"Besides, I didn't accept the people of Xizhou before because I thought they were all fools."
After all, the impression given by the emperors of the Western Zhou Dynasty was that they were extremely incompetent and the people were living in misery.
Scarface changed the subject: "But after getting along with the eldest princess, I felt that what I had before was all prejudice. There are good people and bad people everywhere. It's all because of this fucked up world."
Hearing him say this, Xiangying followed Zhan Yan and smiled.
"After this is over, I will teach you how to swim." After saying that, she patted Scarface's shoulder and walked towards Jie Chen's room.
Push open the door of the cabin.
Xie Chen had already made his own bed on the floor and was leaning against the wall, reading a letter.
When Xiangying came in, he quickly put the letter back in his arms.
"You're back?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "I've left a bowl of fish soup for you on the table."
Xiangying washed his hands with diluted alcohol at the door, then took off his outer robe and looked at the soup on the table in surprise.
"I heard you went fishing this evening. Was it to make soup?"
Xie Chen said indifferently, "What else? Some people are picky eaters and won't even drink a bite of meat porridge. In order to prevent her from getting tired, I can only do what I can to help her."
Xiangying blinked her innocent eyes.
Only then did I remember the bowl of meat porridge that she had thrown out of her mind.
She smiled softly: "I'm not picky about food, I just forgot because I was busy. I'll try the fish soup now."
Seeing Xiangying pick up the soup bowl, he scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
Jie Chen raised his eyes and looked at her quietly, seeming to have some expectation.
“How does it taste?”
"It tastes good," Xiangying nodded sincerely, "These cooks are getting better and better."
Xie Chen pursed his lips: "I did it."
Xiangying pretended to be surprised: "I didn't expect you have this skill."
After receiving the compliment, Xie Chen finally lowered his head again and pretended to be indifferent.
"If you like it, drink it all. What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll have someone catch some river shrimp and fry them for you."
"Don't bother the cook."
"Then I'll catch it myself. It won't be a problem." Xie Chen said, and as if he didn't want her to refuse, he added, "It's settled. You can take a rest."
He lay down first.
Xiangying drank up a bowl of fish soup.
In fact, she was so full that she couldn't tell Jie Chen that she had eaten ten lamb skewers, a sandwich, four boneless chicken feet, and a glass of apple milk in the space in the evening.
Xiangying has never been a person who would put himself in a difficult position, so now he can only feel uncomfortable.
She leaned aside silently, took out the list that the Seventh Princess had helped to draw up, checked them one by one, and took the opportunity to digest her food.
Jie Chen's voice suddenly sounded: "If you need me to do anything, just tell me and I can help you share the burden."
Xiangying was stunned.
She raised her watery eyes and looked over. Jie Chen was not looking at her. His back was facing away from her, his features hard.
Xiangying thought about it, and a sincere smile appeared on her red lips.
"I'll tell you when I think of it, and you can't refuse then."
Xie Chen hummed, and as if he was thinking of something, the muscles on his back suddenly tensed up.
He immediately added: "That kind of thing is not allowed."
Xiangying snorted and laughed: "What do you think of me? I, Xiangying, am not that kind of womanizer."
It was the original owner who was lustful in the past, what does it have to do with her, Xiangying.
Xie Chen didn't say anything else. After a while, Xiangying also lay down to rest.
The boat floated on the dangerous blue river.
Xiangying didn't feel sleepy because treating the plague was not a difficult challenge for her.
What she really needed to think about was whether she would be troubled by that deputy general after arriving in Luzhou.
It is true that she killed Captain Jia, there is no way to refute this, and the other party's character may not be easy to grasp.
By the way, that letter that Jie Chen received... could it be of any help?
Xiangying remembered his action of hiding the letter before entering the door just now. Her eyes darkened and she turned her head to look.
In the dark blue light, the sound of water outside hitting the boat made a splashing noise.
Xie Chen always maintained a lying posture, with a handsome profile and extremely cold bone lines.
He should have fallen asleep.
Thinking of this, Xiangying got out of bed quietly and walked in slowly. She reached out and gently opened Jie Chen's clothes.
Xiangying searched very gently inside his clothes.
I didn't touch anything except a hard chest, which felt good.
But what about the letter? She remembered seeing him put it in.
Suddenly, a cold voice came: "Have you touched enough?"
Xiangying's body stiffened and she looked up. Jie Chen had woken up at some point and was still lying flat, his eyes fixed on her.
Xiangying immediately withdrew his hand, and at the same time, Jie Chen also sat up.
"What are you looking for?" He raised his eyebrows, his dark eyes full of inquiry.
Xiangying would naturally not admit it, and replied calmly: "Looking for the feeling we had that night of intimacy. You are right, I am a nymphomaniac."
Xie Chen's face instantly turned dark and pale!
He stood up instantly: "I'll go out to sleep, you rest here."
Just as he was about to leave, he opened the door and saw the skinny monkey who was about to knock on the door.
Skinny Monkey didn't expect Jie Chen to appear suddenly, and his action of raising his hand to knock on the door stopped in mid-air.
Xie Chen felt that he was here to look for Xiangying, and frowned: "It's so late, she's asleep, let's talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."
Unexpectedly, Xiangying tilted his head behind him and saw: "What's the matter?"
The skinny monkey finally came to his senses and reported: "The military doctor ran away with the medicine!"
