Chapter 241 (2/2)

Some soldiers had already begun wiping away tears. The feelings born on the battlefield were different. As soldiers, they could die for their country and have their blood dye the borderland, but was it not too vexing to die from being poisoned in their own military camp?

“Prepare a tent for me, quickly!” Feng Yu Heng did not ask anything else, as she loudly gave an order.

Qian Li became spirited and loudly said: “Yes!” He then ordered his subordinates: “Quickly! Prepare a tent!”

A soldier quickly ran off to get to work, but some of those who remained were curious. Why would Qian Li listen to the words of a young child?

“This is county princess Ji An!” Qian Li naturally understood what his comrades were thinking, so he quickly gave an introduction: “This is the one rumored to be even more amazing than divine doctor Yao Xian, the Feng family’s second young miss. She is also our general’s future princess.”

Hearing this, all of the soldiers became joyous. County princess Ji An had become quite famous after the previous Winter disaster. Moreover, there was the fame of divine doctor Yao Xian to rely on. Now that the entire military camp was facing an emergency, everyone clearly understood what it meant to have a divine doctor appear.

Thus a soldier led the way and knelt down. With hot tears in his eyes, he said: “We beg county princess save our comrades.”

With him kneeling, the others also knelt down in unison, even Qian Li was no exception. She heard them say in unison: “We beg county princess to save our comrades! We beg county princess to save our comrades!”

Feng Yu Heng felt that this situation was too shocking. She had been a doctor for so many years, and she had seen patients kneel after she had cured them, but this was the first time she had seen so many people kneel and say the same thing.

She raised her head and looked towards Xuan Tian Ming, but she saw him also looking towards her. Their eyes met, and she also saw the same contents in his gaze of save his comrades.

Feng Yu Heng took a deep breath and nodded towards Xuan Tian Ming. She then looked at the kneeling soldiers in front of her and finally said in a loud voice: “I will do my best!”

At this time, the soldier who had run to fetch the tent had returned. While running, he loudly shouted: “The tent has been prepared!”

Qian Li was first to get up and ask Feng Yu Heng: “What else does county princess need us to help prepare?”

She said: “Call for the medical officer who was not poisoned to wait for me in the tent.” No longer stopping to chat with anyone else, Feng Yu Heng walked towards the heart of the military camp. While walking, she checked the situations of those who had been poisoned.

Bai Ze pushed Xuan Tian Ming along at her side. Ban Zou and Huang Quan were also at her side, while Qian Li followed closely behind.

After seeing no less than 30 people, she said: “Whether or not it is poison from a zhen can not be determined, but the toxicity of the poison is exceedingly rare. I can not guarantee that everyone will be saved. I can only say that I will do my best.” She said this while looking at Qian Li, “Have someone go prepare water. Then arrange to have the soldiers who were not poisoned to wait outside my tent.”

“This servant will obey!” Qian Li quickly replied in a loud voice then ran off.

Feng Yu Heng then looked towards Huang Quan, Ban Zou and Bai Ze, “There are not enough people, so you will also need to help out.”

Bai Ze nodded, “Princess, do not worry. We servants will definitely do our best.”

“What can I do to help?” Xuan Tian Ming took the initiative to ask, his expression no longer dripping with laziness.

Feng Yu Heng pondered a little then said: “You will come help me sort the medicine in the tent.”

She spoke while walking towards the tent. Only when she arrived before the empty tent did she see a doctor nearing 50 years old waiting there. Upon seeing her, the doctor repeatedly said: “This lowly one greets county princess!” Saying this, he knelt down on the ground.

Feng Yu Heng quickly helped him up, “What sort of situation is this. Where is there time for such courtesy. Doctor, quickly follow me into the tent. I need your help.”

Nodding repeatedly, the old doctor followed Feng Yu Heng into the tent while saying: “This lowly one previously went to perform medical examinations with imperial physician Yao, Yao Xian. I admired him very much.”

She now understood why she felt so moved to see him. He was an old acquaintance of the Yao family.

But where was there time for her to talk about the past with him. Just after the three entered the tent together, she said to the doctor: “I do not know how this old gentleman determined that it was poison from a zhen, but that is not important. What is important is how we treat them. I do indeed have the fastest way to treat them, but I am the only one who knows how to do it, and I can not save twenty thousand people. There is another method that can be used to resolve this emergency, which is to induce vomiting.”

“Induce vomiting?” The doctor nodded, clearly understanding the reasoning behind Feng Yu Heng said they should induce vomiting, but he had his own concerns: “This lowly one also thought of this method, but making the medicine needed to induce vomiting is too troublesome. Secondly, we do not have any medical herbs. Most importantly, most of the people have already fainted, so there is no way to feed them the medicine.”

Feng Yu Heng quietly said: “I have the medicine, so there is no need to make it, but I will need roughly a cup of tea’s worth of time to prepare it. As for those who have completely fainted, it’s fine. We can use needles.” She did not explain too much more, only saying to the doctor: “Go outside first and call people to separate those who have fainted from those who can still take medicine. I will join you shortly.”

The doctor was with the army all year round, so he was accustomed to treating orders as absolute like the other soldiers. He did not ask any other questions, as he did whatever Feng Yu Heng told him to do. Having received orders, he immediately left the tent.

Seeing that only Xuan Tian Ming remained in the tent, she walked over and said in a serious tone: “Xuan Tian Ming, there is something I need you to promise.”

He nodded, “Speak.”

Feng Yu Heng took a deep breath. She had resolutely made this decision, so she said to him: “In a while, no matter how odd you think my actions are, don’t ask anything about it, is that fine?”

Xuan Tian Ming practically did not even think about it before agreeing: “Yes.” With her, he had already learned not to ask anything, “I know you will definitely pull something strange from your sleeve. Don’t worry, I will only watch and won’t ask.”

Feng Yu Heng facepalmed, her sleeve… very well. Her sleeve really was a mystical sleeve.

Seeing that he had agreed, she did not wait any longer. Placing her right hand on her left wrist, she sent her consciousness into the space and quickly began digging around. Very quickly, all of the vomit inducing medicines had been gathered together. Without any time to remove the packaging, she simply brought it all out.

Xuan Tian Ming watched as she brought out pile after pile of small boxes and small bottles from her sleeve. The items were piled up like a small mountain that went up past her waist.

He was truly unable to endure and said: “If you have the ability, put it all back into your sleeve for me to see.”
