Chapter 485 People from the Capital
When Luo Shui arrived at Qin Shi'an's camp, he saw Fei Yan opening a large box.
Inside were various hidden weapons that Qin Shi'an had given Fei Yan to conceal on her person.
A jade pendant with a sleeping potion, a hairpin, and earrings containing poison.
All kinds are available.
Luo Shui laughed as she watched Fei Yan fully armed herself.
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going on some kind of mission."
Feiyan chuckled and said, "I don't know martial arts. If I get caught, I'll be a burden to the princess."
Luo Shui took out a box of face powder and handed it to her.
"If you encounter danger, just sprinkle this box of incense powder. There is a pill inside. Take it and you will be fine. Even if you still can't escape, this incense powder will allow me to find you."
Feiyan's eyes lit up. "Luoshui, thank you! When I get back, I'll definitely make the princess give you lots of money!"
Luo Shui raised an eyebrow. "Your princess is penniless now."
When they left Beijing, the national treasury did not provide much grain.
The rest consisted of the wealth Qin Shi'an had amassed over the years and 70% of Zhao Yuanying's assets.
Mechanical beasts are powerful siege weapons.
However, casting is extremely costly.
If this iron ore hadn't come from Qin Shi'an's fiefdom, it would probably have been another huge windfall.
Luo Shui looked at Fei Yan and sighed. Sometimes she really didn't know what Qin Shi'an was thinking.
This country wasn't even hers. She supported the army, provided disaster relief, and eliminated treacherous officials. In the end, the person closest to her was the protector of her father's killer.
Indeed, because of her, the soldiers in the army did not have to fight while starving, the soldiers did not die of the cold before they even went to the battlefield, the seriously wounded received timely treatment from doctors and herbs, meaningless casualties were reduced by 90%, and the veterans who left the front lines were also well taken care of by her.
Needless to say, the disaster victims of Jin also had to manage the floods and rebuild their homes.
Despite the large sums of money being distributed, there were no widespread deaths of starving people.
The powerful regime that treated ordinary people like ants was abruptly cut in half by her.
The imperial court was no longer controlled by powerful families.
A large number of students from impoverished families were able to be employed.
The woman found a new way out because of her.
Attending school and entering officialdom will no longer be mere fantasies.
Women can also make a living in the world on their own.
His Majesty gradually realized what he had in mind.
The Empress was no longer a woman confined to the inner palace.
Rather, he is a ruler who stands shoulder to shoulder with His Majesty.
Qin Shi'an seemed to have found a home for everything.
But what about herself?
No one could know what Qin Shi'an was thinking.
No one could answer this question for her.
Xiao Saijin sent a letter upon receiving news of Feiyan's abduction.
After reading the report, Qin Shi'an simply ordered his soldiers, "Speed up the attack on the city!"
Everything now is the last desperate struggle of the State of Chu.
Once the State of Chu is destroyed, all conspiracies and schemes will be exposed.
Since Cha Man broke into the camp and kidnapped Fei Yan, the number of soldiers guarding the rear has increased by two.
There were at least three generals in the camp.
The epidemic in the army has been largely brought under control, but a small number of soldiers are still getting infected.
Liu Yiyi fainted twice while treating the soldiers.
After waking up, Liu Yiyi had someone summon Feiyan.
"Prepare some meat for me."
When the medical officers who were in quarantine with Liu Yiyi returned to their rest area, they saw Liu Yiyi stuffing large mouthfuls of meat into her mouth.
Upon seeing them return, Liu Yiyi swallowed the meat in her mouth and said, "Everyone eat."
One of the military doctors frowned and said, "Director Liu, the soldiers are still bedridden. It's not appropriate for us to serve them such rich food here."
As expected of someone from the capital, he is quite delicate and still craves rich food despite the tense war situation.
Liu Yiyi wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and looked at the crowd standing to the side.
“If our bodies can’t hold up, who will care about the lives of those soldiers? We are in the epidemic area. Once our bodies collapse, it’s uncertain whether we can stand up again. This meat was bought with my salary. Please eat with peace of mind.”
After saying that, she stopped looking at the others and focused on eating the food on the table.
The other military doctors felt ashamed upon hearing Liu Yiyi's words.
Liu Yiyi quickly finished what was in her bowl and got up.
"You all continue eating, I'll go check how much medicine we have left."
After Liu Yiyi left, everyone looked at each other.
One of them said, "Academician Liu is right. If we fall, what will happen to the lives of so many soldiers outside? This is Academician Liu's good intention, and we should not let her down."
The military doctors ate their food, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
Liu Yiyi arrived at the warehouse, feeling somewhat worried, as the medicinal herbs were running out.
Transportation is a very troublesome thing now.
Liu Yiyi noted down the required medicinal herbs and prepared to discuss them with the soldiers guarding the camp.
Before she could even discuss it with anyone, people from the capital arrived.
Xiao Saijin came out to greet him.
Chu Xingsheng immediately stepped forward and said, “Your humble servant Chu Xingsheng greets the Princess! Your humble servant has come to provide support on the orders of Her Majesty and Her Highness. The military report says that the camp is infected with a plague, so I have brought some medicinal herbs.”
Xiao Saijin nodded: "You've come at the right time."
Chu Xingsheng didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Saijin, "May I ask, Your Highness, where is Principal Liu?"
Xiao Saijin said, "She's in the epidemic area."
Chu Xingsheng was taken aback. If the plague was not handled carefully, it could be fatal!
Liu Yiyi, fully armed, was somewhat surprised to see Chu Xingsheng behind the railing.
"Imperial Physician Chu, what brings you here?"
Chu Xingsheng was stopped by the fence just as he was about to step forward.
He quickly said, "I have petitioned His Majesty and the Empress to support the front lines, and I have also brought the herbs that the princess needs."
Liu Yiyi finally smiled. "Imperial Physician Chu, you've arrived just in time."
Chu Xingsheng remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Director Liu, why don't I also enter the epidemic area and work with you?"
We worked together, sharing our resources and efforts to defeat the plague as soon as possible.
Liu Yiyi coughed twice. "I understand Physician Chu's intentions, but at least one of us can take charge. I will record the prescriptions I will use and the details of the patients every day and send them out. I will leave the outside to you."
Chu Xingsheng nodded after hearing this, "That's fine."
After Chu Xingsheng arrived at the military camp, the medical officers of the Red Flower Society went into most of the epidemic area.
This greatly reduced Liu Yiyi's burden.
Finally, the plague was brought under control through their discussions.
The soldiers infected with the plague began to show signs of improvement.
Liu Yiyi also breathed a sigh of relief.
But just when the plague was about to be completely eradicated...
A large number of soldiers in the military camp have been poisoned.
Those who are seriously injured and then show signs of poisoning will die.
Upon learning this, Liu Yiyi immediately summoned Chu Xingsheng.
How could poisoning occur in a military camp?
Chu Xingsheng looked worried. "I don't know what happened either."
Liu Yiyi hurriedly asked, "Have you investigated everything thoroughly, including what they ate, what they used, and what they came into contact with?"
Chu Xingsheng quickly replied, "Everything is the same; there is no difference whatsoever."
Just then, Chu Xingsheng suddenly thought of something: "I just realized that poisoning symptoms don't occur in everyone, but only in those who are injured. The more severe the injury, the deeper the poisoning!"
