Su Wanyan and Xiao Chensheng are both people with extremely high medical talent. Su Wanyan still has a bug in her body for the time being, but Xiao Chensheng is the real chosen one in Su Wanyan's eyes.
Xiao Chensheng not only understood the knowledge instilled in her by the system, but he was also better at integrating it than Su Wanyan. After studying for a period of time, they were both amazed by each other's outstanding learning ability.
Now, the two have begun to exchange the drugs they have developed. In addition to analyzing each other's drugs, they also discuss the various unexpected situations they encounter when treating patients and share their insights.
Xiao Chensheng's hallucinogenic drug is the focus of Su Wanyan's research. However, unlike Xiao Chensheng, who is skilled in martial arts and uses his internal energy to drive the hallucinogenic drug, he can make people enter a hallucination without them noticing.
Furthermore, due to the manipulation of internal energy, one can freely control what the practitioner wants to see.
Su Wanyan doesn't know martial arts, so she can't achieve that effect, but it's not impossible for her to pursue it. She feels that as long as she makes a slight improvement, she can make a hallucinogenic drug that has the same effect as Xiao Chensheng's even without using internal energy to drive it.
As for the curiosity about Xiao Chensheng's health, Xiao Chensheng is currently unwilling to reveal a single word.
However, although she wanted to develop a hallucinogenic drug as soon as possible, it was not the most important thing for what she wanted to do.
At night, when all is quiet.
Candles were still burning in Su Wanyan's room. She had changed into a simple outfit and her ponytail was neatly tied at the back of her head.
The sleeves are narrow for ease of movement, and the garment is tied at the waist with a belt. Even the hem of the garment is specially tailored.
Huang Ye was the one who helped her change her clothes. Once she was ready, Su Wanyan instructed, "Call them all in."
"Yes." Huang Ye lowered her eyes.
In no time, Qiuye, Xiaobu, Tanaka, and Mingyu were all summoned to the room.
Since learning of Yu Nanqing's death in the East China Sea, they had been quite agitated during the day, but seeing Su Wanyan's composure, they seemed at a loss.
Now, when he enters the house, he looks even more dejected.
Furthermore, the sound of war drums has been heard from time to time these past few days, making people even more restless, especially Xiao Bu and his companions. They originally came from the army but later became guards. Seeing the tense situation at the front, they could only stay here, which made them feel even worse.
When the group entered and saw Su Wanyan's outfit, they were all taken aback.
"Your Majesty, what is this...?" Xiao Bu frowned, puzzled.
Su Wanyan sat calmly in the armchair, a specially made bag on the table next to her. She didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm going to the East Sea."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room, except for Huang Ye, felt a sudden tremor.
Xiao Bu, Tanaka, and Mingyu all thought Su Wanyan was joking.
Only Qiuye spoke up to stop her: "Your Majesty, you mustn't..."
She suddenly looked at Huang Ye, only to see Huang Ye lower his eyes and remain silent.
Qiu Ye's eyes widened. Huang Ye, did she know that the Empress was going to the East Sea?
Why didn't she try to persuade her?
"Your Majesty..." Qiu Ye said anxiously.
But Su Wanyan stopped her with a raised hand. She looked at Xiaobu, Tianzhong and Mingyu and said, "I'm not here to ask for your opinions. I called you here to inform you."
Su Wanyan spoke calmly, her expression showing little change: "Xiaobu and Tianzhong stayed in Wengcheng to cultivate fertile land and build irrigation canals. If I am not here, you will be needed to maintain order if the city's garrison encounters any problems."
Xiao Bu and Tanaka looked slightly surprised, only then realizing that Su Wanyan was not joking.
"Your Majesty! The war at the border is critical, and the East China Sea is also..."
Su Wanyan raised her hand again, stopping Xiaobu from continuing, and instead issued orders: "Mingyu, come with me. Qiuye and Huangye, stay behind. It will be easier for me to get things done if there are fewer people."
What could possibly require a woman to do?
And it was their master!
Even Mingyu, who was supposed to go along, frowned deeply: "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. What if something happens to you..."
We don't even know if the prince is alive or dead now. What if something happens to the empress as well...?
Su Wanyan looked at Mingyu: "You just need to protect me. There's no need to say anything more. My mind is made up."
After saying that, her eyes darkened slightly: "If you are unwilling, I will go myself."
They certainly wouldn't let her go to the East Sea alone; Su Wanyan's actions were also a form of coercion.
Having no other choice, Mingyu quickly bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, I will certainly protect you."
“Your Majesty, if only Brother Mingyu goes with us, I’m afraid we won’t be able to manage. If Your Majesty doesn’t want me and Brother Tian to go, it would be good to select a few guards from the manor to accompany us. That way, if we encounter any danger, we can have someone to look after us.”
"No need." The voice came from outside the door.
Before Su Wanyan could speak, she looked up and saw Xiao Chensheng holding a long pipe, a smile on his face, slowly walking in: "I will go with you."
He knew this little girl wouldn't be able to restrain herself tonight. During the day, he not only noticed her strange expression but also specifically asked her about the East Sea City.
Su Wanyan's brow twitched, and she was about to speak when Xiao Chensheng interrupted her leisurely: "I know what you want to do. I'll go with you, and we'll achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Upon hearing this, the words he wanted to say immediately stuck in his throat.
Su Wanyan reached for the package on the table: "I'll set off tonight."
"...So soon?" Mingyu was caught off guard, not even having a plan.
Little did they know, Su Wanyan had already begun preparations several days prior, knowing full well that they would try to dissuade her.
Once Su Wanyan has made a decision, she won't change her mind without a sufficient reason.
At this moment, Su Wanyan felt that the title of princess was very useful. Even if they did not agree with it, they had no choice but to do as she ordered.
It was midnight.
A crack quietly appeared at the gate of the barracks.
Three horses emerged from the city gate in the darkness. As soon as they stepped out, a few faint cracks of whips were heard, and the three horses immediately galloped onto the wide official road.
Su Wanyan was not good at riding horses. Before, when she was in the capital, she rode a horse recklessly through the bustling city to avoid being noticed, and she never thought of learning properly afterward.
You only realize how little skill you have when you need it. If Su Wanyan had known this day would come, she would have definitely gone to learn it properly.
Fortunately, she knew the tricks, and she had a strong learning ability and could master them quickly. She also had the experience from the trip to the capital. Even if she was a little rusty at first, she was able to catch up with Xiao Chensheng later on.
Not long after leaving the city, the sound of war drums from the border suddenly rang out again.
Su Wanyan was no longer as flustered as she had been when she first heard it. On the contrary, she now felt calm and composed when she heard the continuous drumbeats.
The face facing the night wind was full of resilience.
From Wengcheng to the garrison, it would only take a fast horse about 25 minutes, but Su Wanyan needed to bypass the battlefield and reach the border with the East China Sea.
