Qin Yu explained the usage of the sanitary napkin in a serious and detailed manner, seemingly becoming a friend of women.
Liu Caiqing finally understood and realized what this thing was for!
Her pretty face turned bright red almost instantly, so embarrassed she wished she could disappear into the ground.
How could Your Majesty speak such vulgar and inappropriate words in broad daylight about such a private matter?
More importantly, how come it was explained so clearly?
Seeing Qin Yu hand the item to her, Liu Caiqing hurriedly took it, lowered her head shyly, and said, "Your Majesty... I understand."
Perhaps still feeling shy, Liu Caiqing raised her head again and changed the subject, saying, "Your Majesty, Lord Hu Pan should be arriving soon. You should go and attend to important state affairs."
After Liu Caiqing finished speaking, she quickly hid the item in her sleeve.
However, it was quite a coincidence that just after she finished speaking, Yang Tao's report came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Lord Hu Pan has arrived."
"oh?"
When the important matter came up, Qin Yu put away his smile and walked out of the inner room.
Hu Pan stood respectfully outside, and upon seeing Qin Yu, he quickly knelt down to pay his respects.
Qin Yu raised his hand in a gesture of support and said calmly, "No need for formalities, I have summoned you here on important business."
After Hu Pan expressed his gratitude, Qin Yu asked directly:
"I wish to secretly enter the imperial prison again to check on General Li Dingbang's condition. Can you arrange it?"
Qin Yu's gaze was intense as he stared at Hu Pan.
If Sima Lie weren't keeping a close eye on things, Qin Yu would have already been itching to rescue the old general.
Hu Pan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, I can make the arrangements, but no matter how well the arrangements are made or how clever the timing is, this matter is quite dangerous. I still have to advise you that if you can avoid going, it would be best if you did not go in person."
Qin Yu shook his head and said firmly, "No, I must go and see the old general's condition in person, otherwise I will not be at ease!"
Hu Pan sighed helplessly and had no choice but to agree.
"I obey the decree!"
"Your Majesty, we still need to keep a low profile this time, so Your Majesty still needs to change into the clothes of a prison guard."
Qin Yu nodded, agreeing to his suggestion.
A moment later, Qin Yu, under Hu Pan's arrangement, hurriedly changed into the clothes of a jailer.
Following Hu Pan, they went along the secret passage towards the Heavenly Prison.
The two of them were quite familiar with the route, and with Hu Pan leading the way, they traveled smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
Finally, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they finally arrived at the deepest part of the Heavenly Prison, in front of the door of the number one cell in the Heavenly Class.
Hu Pan dismissed the jailer, opened the cell door, and invited Qin Yu inside.
Li Dingbang, who was lying on the bed in the prison cell, struggled to lift his head after hearing the noise.
Upon seeing Hu Pan respectfully ushering in a jailer, Li Dingbang immediately realized that the Emperor had arrived.
His eyes were brimming with excitement, and he struggled to get up to greet him.
Unfortunately, his back felt as if it were broken, and he didn't even have the strength to move.
Qin Yu waved his hand, indicating that Li Dingbang did not need to stand on ceremony, and then immediately stepped forward and reached out to shake Li Dingbang's rough, old, and wrinkled hand.
"General, how are you?" Qin Yu asked with concern.
Li Dingbang's eyes reddened, and he said excitedly, "Your Majesty, this old minister is doing very well. You have other matters to attend to, so there is no need for you to risk coming to see this old minister so many times."
Qin Yu shook his head, his expression grave, and said, "General, this is not the time to talk about this. Didn't I treat you last time? But your condition doesn't seem to have improved much."
"No, this old minister has recovered. If he hadn't recovered, would he still be alive today?"
A smile appeared on Li Dingbang's face.
What he said was true. He had almost died in prison because of carbuncles. If Qin Yu hadn't rescued him in time, he probably would have died long ago.
"General, lie down first, let me see what's going on behind you."
Upon hearing this, Li Dingbang obediently lay down on the bed.
Qin Yu lifted the shirt behind him, and what he saw inside immediately made him frown.
The carbuncle on his back had indeed healed, and his condition had improved considerably. However, the problem was that the prison environment was damp and filthy, and some of the wounds were inflamed and rotten. If the rotten flesh wasn't cleaned properly, it would be difficult for the wounds to scab over and heal.
Qin Yu sighed and shook his head, saying, "General, how can you possibly get better like this? To fully recover, I'm afraid all the rotten flesh will have to be cut off."
He paused for a moment at this point.
Suddenly, Qin Yu had a flash of inspiration.
"Got it!"
He immediately said to Hu Pan, "Lord Hu, could you please find me some maggots? Maggots might be able to cure the old general's illness!"
"What?"
Hu Pan was immediately dumbfounded. Using maggots to treat illness?
Could such filthy and foul-smelling stuff cure Li Dingbang?
"Your Majesty, I think I misheard. Did you say that you were going to use those rotten and filthy maggots to treat the old general?" Hu Pan asked cautiously.
He was afraid he had misheard.
At this moment, Li Dingbang, lying on the straw bed, urged impatiently, "If the Emperor tells you to go, then go. No matter what the method is, even if the Emperor says that boiling the food in oil can cure the disease, I will believe the Emperor!"
"Yes, yes, General, Your Majesty, I'll go right away..."
Hu Pan shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and went off to look for maggots.
Qin Yu's method was certainly not a random act.
In later years, when he and his comrades carried out secret combat missions in the rainforest and their wounds became rotten and there were no conditions for treatment, they would catch some maggots and put them on the wounds so that they could eat the rotting flesh.
Maggots are quite unique; they only eat rotten flesh and not good flesh, so it doesn't take long for them to precisely devour all the rotten flesh on the wound.
That's how he survived back then.
Before long, Hu Pan found a lot of maggots. Looking at the maggots wriggling in the bowl, Hu Pan felt a little nauseous.
Qin Yu looked at Li Dingbang and said seriously, "General, under normal circumstances, you should not feel any pain when the maggots are gnawing on the rotten flesh of your wound. If you do feel pain, you must tell me immediately."
"This old minister has remembered!" Li Dingbang nodded.
Seeing that Li Dingbang was ready, Qin Yu began to instruct Hu Pan to pour the maggots onto Li Dingbang's wound so that they could quickly gnaw on the rotting flesh.
Hu Pan looked at the maggots that were gnawing on the rotting flesh and felt a chill. He had seen maggots on dead people many times, but this was the first time he had seen them on a living person, which was why he felt uncomfortable.
Hu Pan looked at Li Dingbang curiously and asked, "General, do you feel any pain?"
Li Dingbang chuckled and said, "I don't feel any pain. On the contrary, the places that used to hurt don't hurt anymore. My whole back feels cool and comfortable."
