Chapter 99 What Reward Do You Want
One of the old eunuchs burst into tears.
“This…this…”
He was so excited that he was incoherent.
A younger person next to him continued, "It really doesn't hurt anymore!"
"It doesn't itch anymore."
Although the frostbite doesn't seem to have changed much, it really doesn't hurt anymore.
Every winter, they were tortured to death by frostbite.
My hands were in excruciating pain and I couldn't sleep even when I got into bed at night because of the pain.
If I go to warm myself by the fire, the pain will be replaced by an itch that is worse than death, so it is better to just endure the pain.
Now it doesn’t hurt at all!
They can finally have a good sleep at night!
He knelt down and kowtowed several times: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, thank you, Miss, for your grace!"
Desheng noticed the changes in their frostbite with his sharp eyes.
"Your Majesty, it really works. The redness and swelling of their wounds have faded away."
His Majesty was overjoyed: "Bai Qinghuan, you really relieved my worries."
"I will reward you handsomely when I return to the capital. What reward do you want?"
Bai Qinghuan knew that it was time for her to put forward conditions.
"It is my duty to contribute prescriptions to Dongxi's soldiers. I do not ask for any reward."
"That won't do. If I don't reward people for their contributions, wouldn't that make me a tyrant?"
Everyone said that he was a tyrant, so Bai Qinghuan had no choice but to mention it.
She knelt down and said pitifully, "I only hope that no one will bully me in the future and that I can live in peace with my mother and brother."
The emperor immediately thought of Yun Yuyan, Chi Zhuoxu's aggressiveness, and her father's harsh treatment.
I have made up my mind.
"You go back first. When the frostbite of the 50,000 soldiers is cured, we will reward them according to their merits."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, I have another request for your Majesty."
"you say."
"I would like to open a pharmacy in the capital, specializing in selling frostbite ointment. I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission."
"Okay, this prescription originally belongs to you, of course you can sell it."
In addition to soldiers, ordinary people in the north will also get frostbite. It doesn't matter who sells them, so it's better to let Bai Qinghuan sell them.
It's not just the north. The west is high in terrain and is even colder in winter than the north, so many people suffer from frostbite.
After all, if she didn't give away the prescription, she could still make a fortune by selling the medicine herself.
At that time, the army will still need to purchase from her, which will cost a lot of military pay.
Now that the prescription is in the hands of the court, a lot of money has been saved.
After Bai Qinghuan left, the emperor felt more and more that this girl was someone with hidden talents.
"Desheng, you see, she writes so well, and she also knows medical skills. When the court needed it, she generously contributed prescriptions, which shows that she has a kind heart. How could she be so depressed that she chased after Chi Zhuoxu every day?"
"This... Is the Third Prince good-looking?"
Desheng really couldn't think of any advantages of the third prince.
Although the Third Prince is a prince and has not yet helped the Emperor handle state affairs, he listens to Concubine Yun or Grand Tutor Yun on everything.
Oh, Master Yun has been stripped of his title of Master, and can only be called Lord Yun.
Because he still holds the position of Zhongshu Ling.
The third prince has no opinion of his own and in his opinion, he is not worthy of Miss Bai.
But he couldn't say such things.
No matter how powerful the Third Prince is, he is still a descendant of a royal family and it is not something that a servant like him can arrange.
Just this identity made countless girls in the capital city try their best to get into the Third Prince's palace.
After all, in their opinion, the third prince has a great chance of becoming the crown prince.
"He's good-looking? How can he be as good-looking as Xiao Ming?"
Desheng agreed with this: "Indeed, the Regent King is a man of heaven, and the Third Prince is slightly inferior."
But if the prince knew that the emperor still called him Xiao Ming in private, I wonder if he would be angry?
When Chi Ming was mentioned, the emperor's mind became active.
"He doesn't have a princess yet."
"The prince is focused on government affairs and not interested in women."
He knew that last time Xishun came to the palace and asked for a palace maid to be sent back, he didn't even like such a beautiful girl. He really wasn't interested in women.
"What do you think of me granting him a marriage?"
"Will Your Majesty agree to this?"
If it were anyone else, disobeying the order would be a capital crime.
But the Regent is different. When he gets angry, the emperor can do nothing about it.
If this trick worked, all the children in the Regent's Palace would run everywhere.
"Ah...it's so depressing!"
......
On the way back to her yard, Bai Qinghuan saw Chen Qingrui's figure flash by at the corner of the wall not far away.
Her eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.
"Biyun, my second sister didn't come to Donglie this time. I missed her so much."
Biyun was shocked. Why did the girl say that?
Are they the kind of people who miss each other after not seeing each other for a few days?
I could only bite the bullet and continue: "The second girl had a miscarriage. I guess she can't go out."
"That's true, but the position of concubine is really unfair to her."
"That's what she deserved. She was so shameless to be with the Third Prince before marriage."
"That's not important anymore. Wasn't she sent to the Third Prince's residence because of this? If she gives birth to a child, she will be a concubine. Who will remember what happened in the past?"
Bai Qinghuan saw the stagnant figure and continued, "In this way, the positions of the third prince's principal wife and concubine are all filled. I wonder how many girls' hearts will be broken."
Biyun didn't even think about it:
"This is very simple. The number of concubines is full, but there is no limit on the number of concubines."
Bai Qinghuan gave Biyun an appreciative look. This was a very good response.
"That's right. Any girl who wants to marry the Third Prince can only be a concubine."
After they walked away, Chen Qingrui walked out of the corner, lowered her head, and seemed to be thinking about something.
......
Here, the sky has darkened, with cold wind blowing. Snowflakes are falling from under the trees and floating in the air like a dance of demons.
When people see this, their internal organs will shrink into a ball and they will feel cold from the inside out.
Chi Ming ordered people to light a fire to keep warm and continue cooking the broth.
The soldiers enjoyed a bowl of meat soup from time to time and took turns guarding the valley entrance, which made their lives a little easier on this cold night.
Sun Shouyi ran over happily: "My Lord, I found it, I found it!"
"What did you find?"
White air came out of Sun Shouyi's nose and mouth, and he was breathing heavily like a cow that was almost exhausted.
"We found our clothes and armor."
He wanted to jump up on the spot; there couldn't be any better news than this.
Deputy General Tao was overjoyed: "Really?"
"Hahaha... That's great. The soldiers finally don't have to suffer from the cold."
The soldiers who heard the news were also very happy. They had given away half of their clothes and were very cold as they were guarding the fire.
Now, I have clothes to wear, that’s a total of 50,000 sets of clothes and armor.
They huddled together in groups of three or five and cried with joy.
Chi Ming was not so optimistic and told the doctor: "Go check if there is any problem. Wear it only if there is no problem."
Sun Shouyi's joy was stiffly written on his face. He actually forgot such an important thing.
His brain was frozen by the ice and snow in the mountains. He was so happy that he didn't even have the slightest sense of caution.
He raised his palm and slapped his face a few times.
Let’s see if you can still grow a brain in the future.
What if Han Nuo put poison in the clothes, wouldn’t that harm the soldiers?
"I admit my guilt!"
"It won't happen again."
Fifty thousand soldiers suffered because of his carelessness. They forgot the pain before their scars had healed yet.
If I do it again, I will no longer be a general.
Sun Shouyi was terrified and quickly took the imperial physician to the valley where the clothes were found.
Sure enough, they found that the clothes were poisoned.
He was scared to death.
"What kind of poison is this?"
"This medicine will cause skin rashes, and wearing it for a long time will cause skin ulcers."
