Chapter 445: Harvesting the Fruits of Victory
[Are you talking about His Royal Highness Prince Xiang?] We haven't won yet. Su Qianqian kept eating. Although the conditions were difficult, Qin Hanzhang still tried his best to prepare delicious meals.
[Of course it was Xue Zhiqing. How could she miss this opportunity to let Prince Xiang stand out and be favored by the emperor? Although it has not yet come to the end, the result is obvious. The plague at this time is far less serious than what you are experiencing. 】
The system explained with disdain.
[As long as Xue Zhiqing doesn't harm us, stealing the credit is not important. The purpose of my trip is to prevent the Marquis from being convicted and to keep the power to mobilize the troops of the five guards. Otherwise, I may be constrained when necessary. 】
Su Qianqian had almost finished her meal. She had everything in her space, so it was no problem for her to cook something. However, she doubted her cooking skills, and thought that the food she cooked might not be as good as this simple meal, so she just ate her fill.
Coming out of the dining tent, they met Qin Hanzhang and Prince Xiang walking towards them. Next to Prince Xiang was the high-spirited Xue Zhiqing.
"Sister-in-law, you've worked so hard today." Xue Zhiqing quickly walked over and wanted to hold Su Qianqian's hand, but Su Qianqian avoided her by brushing off mosquitoes.
"Curing illnesses and saving lives is a good deed, and it is reasonable to work hard. I wonder where the second young lady went today?"
Su Qianqian said something perfunctorily and changed the subject.
"Zhiqing is with His Royal Highness Prince Xiang today... There are also disaster victims in Sihe Village who need to be comforted."
"So that's how it is. It's all thanks to Your Highness Prince Xiang and the Second Miss for the hard work." Su Qianqian bowed to the Prince Xiang who was approaching.
"I heard that Madam Hou came here to fight the epidemic together. Do you have any good ideas?"
King Xiang already had some respect for Su Qianqian for accompanying Xue Zhiqing to Hongzhou for disaster relief, but when it came to fighting the epidemic, he still trusted the imperial physician more, so this question was asked with some consideration.
"No, I don't have any good ideas. Apart from bringing some medicine to the villagers and trying some old prescriptions, there is really no other way." Su Qianqian answered simply.
Prince Xiang showed an expression of as expected, and said perfunctorily: "It is rare that Madam Hou is willing to travel thousands of miles and endure the hardship... Not to mention that she can fight against the noble families."
"Speaking of which, the prefect of Hongzhou sent some herbs, rice, charcoal, oil, meat and poultry shortly after you entered the village."
Qin Hanzhang looked at Su Qianqian with a smile and said.
"Did they really deliver it?" Xue Zhiqing was a little surprised. Prince Xiang also turned to look at Qin Hanzhang: "Isn't it that the Hongzhou prefect specially sent supplies to the disaster relief envoy?"
"Of course not. The person who came was the chief secretary of the Hongzhou prefectural government. He sent the herbs according to the list of herbs that Madam had given him. There was also a list of supplies. He said that if there were not enough, we could send another letter to Hongzhou."
Qin Hanzhang just looked at Su Qianqian with a smile, his face full of protection and pride.
King Xiang's face was not very good, but he still maintained a decent smile:
"Madam Hou's move really solved the urgent need of the disaster relief army. Food is secondary. The main problem is the scarcity of herbs. It is really difficult to deal with."
"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. These herbs are not for the relief army. I am only concerned about the safety of the Marquis. The relief army around him must be free of disease and disaster."
Su Qianqian replied with confidence, and a flash of disgust flashed across King Xiang's eyes. He would never again associate Su Qianqian with Su Qian who saved him. What similarities could such a selfish person have with that righteous doctor from the Ministry of Personnel?
Su Qianqian was very tired and didn't have the energy to talk to them any more. After completing the formalities, she went back to the tent. While Qin Hanzhang was not back, she ran to the space to extract effective anti-plague drugs.
On the second day, Su Qianqian walked into Cangshan Village again and was greeted by a group of villagers on the village road. Qin Yuzhuo and the two old ladies thought something had happened and were so scared that they stood in front of Su Qianqian.
"What are you doing? There are good and bad cures. Even if someone dies, it's not our Lady Su's fault. Don't mess around!"
Qin Yuzhuo pointed at the villagers and warned them.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what bad luck! How could anyone die from medical treatment? It was Dahe Niang who really recovered. She was still comatose when she woke up yesterday, but today she drank rice soup. If a person can drink rice soup, then she is alive. The King of Hell will not take her away!"
A mother-in-law with sunken eye sockets said with a few spitting sounds.
"Okay...what are you going to do?" Qin Yuzhuo was a little dazed.
"Of course we should ask the fairy lady to save people. Our daughter-in-law is the most seriously ill. Let's go to our house first!" The mother-in-law pushed Qin Yuzhuo away and reached out to grab Su Qianqian.
"Mrs. Zhang, you can't do things like this. We are all from the same village, and you clearly know that our old man is sicker!" Another old woman also came to pull Su Qianqian.
"Goddess!" A hoarse voice was heard, and a person knelt down on the ground with a "thump". There was a dull sound of his knees hitting the ground, and there was a person in front of Su Qianqian.
Qin Yuzhuo was startled. He didn't bother to pull the two old ladies apart. He quickly stretched out his arms to block Su Qianqian: "What are you going to do?"
This man was the young man who had initially picked up a stick and chased Su Qianqian away.
"Please, Fairy Lady, go home and save my father. He can't make it any longer!" The young man kowtowed and begged.
"Yesterday it was you who drove us out with a stick in your hand, and now you come to beg me again. I told you not to regret it, and you even said you wouldn't beg our wife!"
Qin Yuzhuo stopped Su Qianqian and prevented the young man from getting close.
"Ershan, is your father not well?" The mother-in-law who first grabbed Su Qianqian turned around and asked the young man.
"Grandma Zhang, my father is dying. I was foolish and drove the Fairy Lady out yesterday. Later, I heard from Aunt Liu Xingjia that even Dahe Niang, who was seriously ill, had woken up. When I rushed over, the Fairy Lady had already left the village. Grandma Zhang, please help me plead for mercy and save my father!"
The young man named Ershan kowtowed continuously until blood came out of his forehead.
"My fairy lady, please go and see Ershan's father first. There is no one left in his family. Alas..." The mother-in-law let go of Su Qianqian's hand.
"Yes, Ershan's father is a strong man, and Ershan was deceived and suffered a lot, so he did something that offended the fairy lady. I beg you to be magnanimous and not take it to heart..."
The old woman on the other side also let go of her hand.
Su Qianqian walked around Ershan and walked quickly forward. Ershan couldn't help wiping his tears with his sleeves and started crying.
"Why don't you catch up quickly? Do you want to save your father?" The third old lady glared at Ershan and strode to catch up with Su Qianqian.
"Hurry up, you silly child, why don't you follow the fairy lady? Why are you so stupid!" Grandma Zhang was so anxious that she pushed the dazed Ershan.
"Ah... I know, I know..." Ershan rolled over and got up, running to the front to lead the way.
Ershan's father was indeed having difficulty breathing, so Su Qianqian first gave him acupuncture to clear the blockage, then acupuncture to detoxify and remove blood stasis, using a method similar to the one used to treat Dahe's mother. Finally, she gave him a pill to drink.
But Ershan's father didn't open his eyes for a long time.
