Prince Yuexi smiled and said, "No need. Your Majesty has four thousand Yulin Guards, all of whom are at the high Foundation Establishment stage. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards is at the middle stage of the Golden Core stage. If I lead this army, it will be a piece of cake to wipe out Donglin County."
Empress Zhao Lingyu said, "Sir, please don't worry. I have just issued an imperial decree for the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard to come to see me. Only with my personal authorization will the Imperial Guard obey Yuexi's orders."
Sure enough, a voice rang out from outside the palace door: "Your Majesty, your servant Xu Lin pays respects to you."
Zhao Lingyu said, "Come in!"
A burly man in armor walked in. Seeing that the empress had already taken up her bed, his expression changed and he said, "Your Majesty, your illness..."
Zhao Lingyu smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to Mr. Chen's treatment, my condition has improved significantly."
Xu Lin said, "Your Majesty's condition has improved greatly. This is truly a blessing for the State of Zhao."
Zhao Lingyu said, "That's right. During the time I was seriously ill, many people in Zhao State became suspicious. The King of Donglin has rebelled. I order you to lead two thousand Yulin Guards to assist the Prince of Yuexi in suppressing the rebellion. I want to see the King of Donglin's head."
Xu Lin immediately knelt down and said, "I will obey your order and take the head of King Donglin and present it to Your Majesty."
Next, Prince Yuexi and Xu Lin led two thousand Yulin Guards and fifty thousand city defense soldiers to go on an expedition. This was already half of the military strength of the Zhao imperial capital, and there was absolutely no problem in wiping out Donglin County.
However, Chen Dabing vaguely felt that he was moving too fast. Could this make him a prince? Second only to the emperor?
Looking at Yuexi's leaving back, I thought to myself: Is it going to be true again that if nothing unexpected happens, something will definitely happen?
The empress had not yet recovered from her serious illness and soon felt tired. After asking Chen Dabing, she went to bed. Chen Dabing and Shen Yiyi waited on her.
Chen Dabing had no objection to serving the beautiful empress. Moreover, the empress had a straightforward personality and didn't mind his gender at all, which made him feel trusted.
Even for something as private as sleeping, she undressed and went to bed right under Chen Dadan's nose, even asking, "Sir, can I cover myself with the quilt?"
Chen boldly said, "Cover it a little but not too densely."
"Okay, sir, help me cover it."
The empress was lying on the bed with her body uncovered, in an extremely seductive posture.
Chen Dadan walked over to help her cover her vital parts. The empress grabbed his hand and said, "Sir, use your equipment to test whether I still have a fever?"
Chen Dabing took out the thermometer and said, "Ding! The temperature is 36.5 degrees Celsius, normal."
He patted her little hand and said, "It's okay, go to sleep! You will feel better when you wake up."
The empress nodded, closed her eyes and fell asleep, her little hands still holding him. This made Chen Dabing laugh. As the ruler of a country and an empress with unparalleled cultivation, she actually acted like a little girl.
In fact, it is understandable. She had been tortured by the virus for many days and was already dead. Now she suddenly met a savior, so it is normal for her to lose her composure no matter how she behaved.
Seeing that the empress was fast asleep, Chen Dabing gently withdrew his hand, asked the palace maid to serve on the side, and winked at Shen Yiyi, indicating that they should talk outside.
Outside the main hall.
"Sir," Shen Yiyi said, "What are your instructions for asking your disciple to come out?"
Chen Dabao said, "I want to ask you a very important question. Do any of the maids around His Majesty have the same illness?"
Shen Yiyi said: "No! The maids serving His Majesty are all fine."
This made Chen Dabing feel a little strange. Since the influenza virus was an enhanced version, its infectiousness must have increased. In this world, it became deadly and might even turn into a plague.
Then Shen Yiyi solved his doubts and said, "Master, you are worried about infection, right? Don't worry, your Majesty's cultivation is as powerful as the creation. Although he cannot control the virus, he can still prevent it from escaping."
Chen Dadan nodded. The virus was mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract. The Empress had a high level of cultivation, so perhaps she could transmit the virus without breathing. As for the other transmission routes, such as blood transmission, X transmission, etc., the Empress was pure and innocent, so there was no problem.
He reiterated his insistence, "We must not allow the virus to spread, otherwise it could become a biological weapon. I don't have much medicine on hand, but if more people are infected, it will be troublesome."
Shen Yiyi said: "Master, don't worry, I can control the virus and won't spread it indiscriminately."
Chen Dabao nodded, which was considered to have solved a problem for him, but he did not notice that his cheap apprentice was playing word games. Shen Yiyi said that it would not spread indiscriminately, but she did not say that it would not spread. In fact, she had already obtained the pathogen from the empress and placed it in a sealed glass bottle for research.
When scholars of the technical school encounter unknown things that are difficult to solve, they always have the desire to study them thoroughly. Sometimes this curiosity will promote the progress of the entire human race, and sometimes curiosity will kill the cat and cause immeasurable damage.
The two then talked about medicine. Chen Dabing knew nothing about formal medicine, but through nine years of compulsory education he knew a little about bacteria, viruses, microorganisms, etc.
When these superficial knowledge were spoken, Shen Yiyi was immediately shocked and wanted to worship her on the spot.
Several hours passed before the Empress's voice rang out from the palace: "Where's Mr. Chen? He wouldn't have abandoned me and run away, would he?"
Chen Dabao entered the bedroom and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't run away."
The empress got out of bed and changed her clothes with the help of the palace maids. She said, "I feel much better after waking up. Sir, you are truly a god."
Chen boldly said, "I'd like to know where Your Majesty contracted the flu virus."
If this world has never had the flu virus, then the place where the empress was infected with the virus must be related to the Earth world, so Chen Dabing especially wants to find out.
Zhao Lingyu said, "This story begins a year ago. The Yinshan Patriarch, who had cultivated for a thousand years, successfully broke through the void and ascended to a higher plane. He left behind a legacy, claiming that it would be obtained by those destined to inherit it. The emperors of the seven kingdoms of Zhao, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Qin, and Wei gathered in the Dark Night Sky to compete for the inheritance. However, the Dark Night Sky was distorted in time and space, and those who entered would fall into a lower plane. I went to a lower plane during one of these trips, but not only did I gain nothing, I was also poisoned. If I hadn't met you, I would probably have died."
Chen Dabao asked, "Low-level plane? What does it look like?"
Zhao Lingyu said, "It's similar to our world, the only difference is that there's not a trace of spiritual energy."
Chen Dabao said, "You must have seen tall buildings, airplanes, trains, and ships. People there live a life of plenty."
The Empress shook her head and said, "No, there are no immortal cultivators in the lower planes. The humans living there are all savages who eat raw meat and drink blood."
Chen Dabing was stunned. The low-level plane described by the empress was completely different from the world on Earth. The savages who ate raw meat and drank blood were from the barbaric era.
Is it another world?
