As soon as the warming soup entered her mouth, Liu Caiqing felt a warm current spreading from her throat to her abdomen.
The warm sensation gradually eased the excruciating pain in her abdomen.
At first, she did feel cold hands and feet, and a dull, intense pain in her stomach, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
But gradually, the biting cold dissipated, replaced by a warmth that spread throughout the body, making it feel cozy and comfortable.
Her originally pale face regained some color.
Liu Caiqing was surprised and couldn't help but look up at Qin Yu, only to find him staring intently at her.
"Cough cough!"
Liu Caiqing hurriedly looked away and coughed awkwardly to cover it up.
"Yes, I've finished drinking."
Liu Caiqing handed the empty bowl back to Qin Yu, who accepted it without hesitation.
Are you feeling any better now?
Liu Caiqing blushed and nodded gently.
She did feel less pain.
Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It seems that my little inventions are quite useful sometimes. I can't come here often, so if you still feel pain in the future, just cook another batch according to my recipe."
Liu Caiqing lowered her head slightly, somewhat embarrassed, and obediently replied:
"yes."
After her stomach pain subsided, Liu Caiqing also thought about the important matter at hand.
She looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Your Majesty, is there any important matter that you have come here today?"
Qin Yu nodded, his expression becoming serious: "I have been busy these past few days and am not sure how General Li Dingbang is doing in prison, so I would like to go and see him."
"I see."
Liu Caiqing suddenly realized, and at the same time, she immediately became serious, looked at Yang Tao, and instructed:
"Yang Tao, go out through the secret passage and invite Lord Hu Pan over."
Yang Tao accepted the order and hurriedly left the inner room.
Inside the room, only Liu Caiqing and Qin Yu remained.
The atmosphere was a bit strange. Liu Caiqing seemed particularly shy and didn't dare to look at Qin Yu at this moment.
Qin Yu was also a little bored. He suddenly thought that women in this era seemed to be quite tired.
For women, menstruation is a tumultuous experience every month.
Even if it doesn't hurt, there are still a lot of troubles.
Take the menstrual belts they use now, for example. They're just a few ropes and a piece of cloth, and they're reusable. Not only are they extremely inconvenient, but Qin Yu also thinks they're not very hygienic.
Qin Yu sat there in a daze. He remembered that sanitary napkins were not complicated to make. Could he make some of them?
Qin Yu blinked. There were quite a few women in the palace. If he could really do it, wouldn't he be able to benefit the women in the palace in a short period of time?
Furthermore, noble ladies in the capital have always longed for items from the palace. Once these sanitary napkins can be promoted, they will likely become an instant hit among noble ladies in the capital!
It's practical and comfortable, and it's even a royal item from the imperial palace!
It might actually be a way to make a fortune!
Thinking of this, Qin Yu's eyes lit up. So, Qin Yu immediately turned his head and said softly, "You rest for a while. I'll be back soon."
Liu Caiqing didn't understand Qin Yu's intentions, so she just nodded slightly.
Qin Yu didn't explain further, and immediately stood up and walked out.
Anfu and the others were waiting outside. As soon as they saw Qin Yu come out, they rushed to greet him.
"emperor."
Qin Yu waved his hand, indicating that An Fu should not stand on ceremony, then he lowered his voice and said:
"Anfu, go and get me some cotton, gauze, and some absorbent silk... Remember, it must be soft and clean!"
He rattled off several kinds of materials, all of which were common items, leaving Anfu somewhat bewildered.
After a pause, he suddenly realized that the Emperor was probably going to personally treat General Li's injuries again.
The cloth used to bandage a wound must be soft and clean!
"I'll go find it right now."
Anfu responded and immediately left.
He walked very fast, as if rushing to a battlefield.
Qin Yu didn't have to wait long before he rushed in with all sorts of things.
Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction and then began making it.
Anfu stood by, watching Qin Yu operate the system.
First, the silk was folded into long strips, and then cotton and gauze were stuffed into the middle.
When it came to stuffing the cotton, Anfu asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Why does this bandage look so strange? Why are you only stuffing cotton and gauze in the middle?"
"This part in the middle is called a panty liner! Never mind, don't ask anymore. Even though you're not a man, you don't need this thing anyway."
Qin Yu pursed his lips and teased with a mischievous smile, then added, "Only women can use it."
An Fu was stunned! This wasn't the bandage meant for General Li Dingbang?
Anfu looked embarrassed, but he didn't press the matter further; he simply stood by quietly.
Soon, Qin Yu had made a series of strangely shaped long pads.
"Mission accomplished!" Qin Yu put down the last pad with satisfaction and clapped her hands.
Qin Yu chuckled, told An Fu to wait outside, and went into the inner room.
At this moment, Liu Caiqing, feeling much better, had already gotten out of bed. She was just about to change her clothes when she ran into Qin Yu.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Caiqing called out nervously.
Qin Yu smiled and showed off the pieces in his hand, saying, "I just made these good things, all for you."
Liu Caiqing stared at the strange-looking object, momentarily bewildered, and asked curiously:
"What's this?"
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows smugly and said proudly:
"I call it a sanitary napkin."
"Sanitary napkins...?"
Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Liu Caiqing was stunned.
"Your Majesty... what is the use of this sanitary napkin?" she asked curiously, pointing to the sanitary napkin in Qin Yu's hand.
Qin Yu looked at Liu Caiqing, then leaned close to her ear mysteriously and whispered:
"The biggest advantage of this thing is that it can quickly absorb blood without causing leakage."
"oh?"
Liu Caiqing blinked and subconsciously said, "Then wouldn't it be suitable for the soldiers on the front lines?"
Qin Yu was both amused and exasperated, and explained:
"This won't stop the bleeding from sword wounds. This thing is specifically for women."
Upon hearing this, Liu Caiqing was momentarily stunned and unable to react.
Qin Yu explained with a smile:
"Take this and stick it on your underwear when you get your period. It will absorb all the blood, no matter how much, and it won't leak. You can turn over in bed whenever you want at night!"
"Just change them frequently, and throw them away after you take them off. That's very hygienic! That's why I call them sanitary napkins."
"Look, I specially used silk fabric, which is soft, close-fitting, and breathable, so it won't feel stuffy even in the hot summer."
