How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 566: Dancing on Her Last Nerve

This time, when they went inside, an average of ten people lived in one room, trying to arrange the families together.

Even so, this was much better than living outside.

On the first floor, water and hot water were provided, along with dedicated restrooms, much better and cleaner than latrines.

Everyone cherished it very much.

Because the living conditions improved, illnesses became fewer, and the epidemic subsided quicker.

Many who had recovered took the initiative to help out those from the Prince Mansion.

Of course, there were also some who were unwilling to help, preferring only to enjoy.

Those who were willing and performed well were quickly recruited by the Prince Zhan Mansion, whether as maids or guards.

Thus, these people transformed from refugees into capital residents.

Those who chose to enjoy now regretted deeply.

These days, Pei Shu’er spent her days treating patients and returned to the house at night to make pills.

Moreover, some pharmacies donated herbal medicines for her to make epidemic pills.

Some doctors also began preparing the daily decoctions needed.

Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan were not as busy as before.

However, there was one most pressing issue.

Due to the overwhelming number of refugees and consecutive years of drought, the fields yielded nothing.

The villages around the capital were also affected by drought.

The previously stored grain was nearly depleted.

The price of grain now changed daily, more exaggerated than before.

Just as the epidemic began to see improvement, famine struck again. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

There was no choice for Pei Shu’er but to set up porridge distribution points inside and outside the city.

Though called porridge, it was not just porridge.

Sometimes, there was white rice and some pastries, occasionally a bit of stir-fried dishes and meat.

But to avoid suspicion, only a little was available every few days.

If a family had grain in the city, they would automatically refrain from taking it.

Only those without any grain would go and collect it.

In the Imperial Palace, Pei Shu’er’s prescription had been submitted for a long time, yet there was no response nor support for herbal medicines.

Tang Zan coldly said, "This Dog Emperor must be hoping we will bear the cost, or perhaps he’s trying to test us."

So Tang Zan frequently submitted petitions.

Requesting the Emperor dispatch several Imperial Physicians and provide some medicine and grain.

The Emperor played dead whereas Tang Zan kept submitting petitions.

Eventually, even Pei Shu’er had to reduce the supplies.

The porridge distribution was just pure porridge.

Realizing relying on the Emperor was hopeless.

Pei Shu’er proposed, "Everyone can go gather some herbs on the nearby mountain. I will give you drawings of the herbs, this is a good deed for everyone, I hope you all will be proactive."

Divine Doctor Xue, his beard gray, also spoke up.

"Every day at least one herb must be provided by each person. If unable to provide herbs, at least find something of value, this is a strict rule."

"Otherwise, over time, there won’t be enough medicine, the epidemic will become uncontrollable, leading everyone back to the previous predicament."

Pei Shu’er also agreed in her heart, Tang Zan did not expect Divine Doctor Xue to stand up at this moment.

Everyone was concerned, and with the village chief involved, no one dared to falsify.

The village chief would manage his people.

Even though some disorganized individuals existed, Tang Zan temporarily appointed someone to oversee them.

With everyone working together, the consumption of medicine was finally compensated.

Pei Shu’er could take some medicine from her own space and mixed them in, making them less conspicuous.

Yan Haoxuan was in the Imperial Palace with a cold smile on his face.

"I really underestimated these two people."

He did it deliberately, wanting to observe how much wealth these two people accumulated over the years.

Moreover, weren’t these two fond of standing out? Then let them, just hoping they wouldn’t regret it later.

Indeed, Yan Haoxuan’s character was actually unsuitable for being a King.

A King may have small temperaments and schemes, that’s acceptable.

But once it reached his extent, it was too much.

Maybe this time the Emperor faced near death at the ghost gate, afraid of dying.

Then became obsessed with health preservation.

Seeking immortality.

At this moment, an otherworldly old daoist claiming immortality appeared in the populace, and he was brought into the Imperial Palace.

Gaining significant trust from the Emperor.

This matter, amidst the epidemic, wasn’t so noteworthy.

People faced death from illness while the Emperor maintained a detached attitude.

Even withholding the prescription.

Precisely speaking, early on, he wanted to probe the Prince Zhan Mansion’s depths; later, he was busy with alchemy, forgetting to release it.

Hence, it became Tang Zan who released the prescription.

Meanwhile, the extraction method for the pills was sent as well.

Pei Shu’er wrote about ancient extraction methods, having the pills sent so far, she wasn’t capable.

The pills for the capital itself were somewhat challenging to supply.

When the illness in the capital was mostly cured.

Pei Shu’er was invited by Pei Lingxuan to the Pei Mansion to thoroughly examine Pei Yu.

The main issue was Pei Yu’s complications increased significantly, visibly losing weight.

Only the virus had been cured so far.

After Pei Shu’er examined him, she prescribed three medicinal formulas and made sure to dictate the sequence.

"Take each formula for a month, then switch to the next one. Take one dose for three days, three times daily."

Also leaving some epidemic medicines.

When Pei Yu was adequately treated, Pei Shu’er saw Aunt Liu standing at the door, arms crossed.

"Shu’er, you’ve previously injured many aunts, with such disregard for seniority, don’t you plan to check on them?"

Behind her, separated by a wall, stood Pei Lingling.

Her eyes glinted with resentment, within the entire Pei Mansion, Aunt Liu’s mind was the daftest, yet she possessed some martial skills.

Her way of handling things was reckless, most suitable for being a tool.

Pei Shu’er smiled, "Why should I see them? They attempted to harm father; I’m merely saving him."

This remark left Aunt Liu somewhat stunned.

This... isn’t this quite a reversal of right and wrong?

Pei Lingling was also taken aback, Pei Shu’er truly wasn’t easy to deal with, at least her ability to distort the truth was not ordinary.

Aunt Zhao was the first to react, "Pei Shu’er, after wandering in exile, you’ve become shameless, haven’t you?"

Indeed, it was due to Pei Shu’er’s previous status, coupled with her informal demeanor that they dared to speak up.

Of course, what mattered most was that they still considered themselves quasi-aunts to Pei Shu’er.

The term "exile" could definitely be said to dance wildly on Pei Shu’er’s thunderous spot.

Pei Shu’er was unconcerned about having been exiled.

Yet, those wanting to befriend her deliberately avoided mentioning that.

And Aunt Zhao now brandishing it evidently meant provocation.
