Chapter 27 Goddess Jiang's Gift of Medicine
"Be careful, don't break them!" Jiang Yi directed the soldiers as they carried the boxes out one by one.
The box landed, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the items inside rattled and made a soft sound.
Jiang Yi was so shocked that he twitched.
He kicked the clumsy soldier in the butt!
"How many times have I told you! Handle with care! This box is a matter of life and death! Get out of the way, I can do it myself!"
Jiang Yi had personally witnessed the effects of that miraculous medicine—no, that fever reducer.
He genuinely believed that a deity had descended to earth!
His brother was wounded on the battlefield, and the wound became infected and was not treated in time, which led to a high fever. He died after burning a fever for four days!
If that fever reducer had been available back then, it could have saved his brother's life...
So he valued these boxes of things more than his own life.
Qin Zhao stood in the corner, watching as boxes of life-saving medicine were carried out, and felt as if most of the burden on his shoulders had been lifted.
Although he hasn't seen the effects yet, he believes that with these drugs, the epidemic will surely be resolved!
When the epidemic first broke out, many people, concerned for his safety, urged him to return to Beijing.
He resolutely refused!
He cannot go back; his army and his people are suffering here, fighting for their lives!
If he leaves now, he would be unworthy of being the Crown Prince of the Great Yu Dynasty!
They don't deserve the love and respect of others!
Even without the elixir of immortality, he was determined to stand with the people of the Great Yu Dynasty!
Fortunately, heaven was on his side!
He had waited so many days, and finally it had arrived...
Qin Zhao's gaze involuntarily turned to Jiang Ling, who was fanning herself while speaking.
The sunlight streaming through the window fell on her.
In that instant, she was surrounded by a halo of light!
Like a celestial being banished to the mortal realm!
No matter how many years passed, Qin Zhao could never forget that moment.
"This box contains ibuprofen, which can relieve fever, reduce pain, and fight inflammation. The dosage is one tablet at a time, dissolved in water. If there is a recurring high fever, another tablet can be taken after two hours."
"This box contains Yunnan Baiyao spray, used for external abrasions and sprains. The red bottle provides rapid pain relief and stops bleeding. After a short interval (about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn), spray the white bottle to promote recovery."
"This box contains anti-inflammatory medicine..."
"This box contains iodine solution..."
"This box contains gauze..."
Before each box of medicine was moved out, it would be opened and shown to Jiang Ling.
Please provide a detailed description of the main causes of illness, usage, and dosage of this medicine.
Although each box had written instructions, they couldn't read simplified Chinese characters.
Jiang Ling gave her statement, and Cheng Fang took notes.
In fact, Jiang Ling had been practicing calligraphy since she was a child, and her small regular script was excellent.
Because she used traditional Chinese characters when practicing calligraphy, Jiang Ling was able to read and write without any problems in this dynasty.
Little did Cheng Fang know that he had deceived her and felt guilty.
He volunteered to help with the writing.
Jiang Ling was happy to have some free time.
During a casual chat, I learned that Cheng Fang was actually a young marquis, and his father was the famous Marquis of Wu'an in the Great Yu Dynasty.
He was a general with a distinguished military record, worthy of respect.
Marquis Wu'an's younger sister married the current emperor of the Dayu Dynasty, became empress, and gave birth to Crown Prince Qin Zhao.
He had the Marquis's son, the Crown Prince's cousin, copy books for him.
I won't hold it against him for lying to me earlier.
The soldiers were very efficient, and the warehouse was emptied in no time.
They were firmly trapped in the carriage.
Qin Zhao said without delay: "Jiang Yi, immediately send this batch of medicine back to camp. If anything goes wrong, you'll be beheaded!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The number of people at the entrance instantly decreased by more than half.
Only a few skilled fighters remained to guard the crown prince.
Crown Prince Qin Zhao bowed again, his words full of sincerity.
"Many thanks to Miss Jiang for providing the medicine. With this medicine, the people of Ping'an County will surely be saved from their suffering! On behalf of the disaster-stricken people of Ping'an County, I express my gratitude!"
"It's what I should do, Your Highness, you don't need to be so polite."
"Once the epidemic stabilizes, I will return to the capital to inform my father, the Emperor, and reward Miss Jiang for her contributions!"
Jiang Ling: ......
That's unnecessary!
"Your Highness, there's no need for rewards! I'm just a merchant and don't want to attract too much attention. Can't you just say that I sold these medicines to Your Highness?"
She was just an intruder; she had no intention of making her mark in history.
Moreover, she'll leave once she's earned enough!
She didn't want to become one of history's unsolved mysteries.
Qin Zhao was taken aback, his eyes filled with doubt.
"What troubles Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Ling was speechless for a moment. How should she explain it to him?
Cheng Fang said, "Your Highness, since this is what Miss Jiang requested, why not do as Miss Jiang said and consider the medicine as something we bought?"
Qin Zhao thought about it and then agreed.
“In that case, I will do as you say, young lady. This batch of medicine is priceless in my heart. Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have gathered all the rarest treasures in the world to give to you as a token of my gratitude!”
"However, the disaster situation is severe now, so I may have to wait until I return to the capital to raise funds for the girl."
Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, "It's alright, Your Highness, you should take care of important matters first."
After everyone had left.
Jiang Ling stared at the empty warehouse, somewhat dazed.
Let's just consider it a one-time sale; otherwise, if she were to sell them bottle by bottle, she wouldn't be able to sell them all before they expired.
I cleaned the warehouse and organized the shelves.
Outside the door, the sunset glows and a lone wild goose flies in unison.
The sky is covered with clouds, sending hardworking people home.
So beautiful!

The medicine was sent back to the military camp by noon.
According to Jiang Ling, this is the instruction manual written by Cheng Fang.
Zhao Jingxing was the main commander, with the magistrate of Ping'an County as his assistant, and two hundred soldiers.
Distribute antipyretics to patients with high fever.
The gauze and Yunnan Baiyao spray were delivered to the military doctors, who then treated each patient with external injuries.
The antipyretics were very effective; by the afternoon, half of the patients had completely recovered from their fevers.
The large pot in the military camp was constantly burning and boiling for twelve hours a day. This time, the pot was filled with honeysuckle, isatis root, and forsythia.
It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying.
All soldiers and disaster victims, regardless of whether they were sick or not, had to drink three large bowls of this drink every day as a preventative measure.
The patient's fever subsided, giving the disaster victims hope. Finally, the feeling of shared sorrow over the loss of their loved ones had subsided.
"I heard it was a celestial medicine bestowed by a goddess surnamed Jiang!"
"The prince's sincerity moved the gods, and the goddess Jiang bestowed upon him a divine elixir!"
"Yes, the Liu family's son, the Wang family's second son, and the Zhang family's fourth son all took this kind of medicine. I've seen it; it's a small, round, white pill!"
"What pills! Those are elixirs of immortality! Don't blaspheme the gods! If the gods are displeased, they might take the medicine back!"
"May the Goddess of the River protect me! May the Goddess of the River protect me! I did not mean to blaspheme! Please forgive me if I am wrong!"
"Since the Crown Prince was able to obtain the elixir of immortality, it means that the Crown Prince has the approval of the gods!"
Cheng Fang overheard the villagers' discussion as he passed by and couldn't help but shake his head.
He turned around and went into the tent next to him.
"The rumors circulating outside are getting more and more outrageous. Aren't you going to stop them?"
Zhao Jingxing was taking inventory of the medicine stock. "What's the point of stopping them? If you rush into the crowd and say that it's not a magic medicine, but just a fast-acting fever reducer, they won't listen. They might even beat you up!"
Cheng Fang thought for a moment, "That's true!"
