Saving The Abandoned Empress-Chapter 160 - "Jennifer’s Suggestion"

160 “Jennifer’s Suggestion”

“Alright, so what you are saying it’s necessary to rectify the environment of the field hospital, correct?”

The emperor, who was sitting beside the crown princess asked the lady infront of him.

“Yes, Your Majesty. With the current state of the hospital, Even a healthy person get sick. Not to mention an injured person.”

Jennifer replied with nervousness.

She, who was left out by the emperor was suddenly called inside a moment ago by the crown princess and they started to discuss about her suggestion.

If the emperor doesn’t helps her, even if she convince the crown princess; it would be no help.

‘So, i must try my best to convince him!’

“I think we should also consider the condition of injured soldiers... If they can get better then we will lose less resources.”

Eleanora spoke as she tried to pursue the emperor.

.....

Even if she is still suspicious of Jennifer, but she wouldn’t mind helping her if it could save lives.

The soldiers life’s matter the most above everything.

The emperor pondered for some moment before he started to speak again.

“I see, but what does the imperial army will gain from improving the environment?”

“What will we be investing in?”

The emperor asked as he have to consider the specifics in mind.

His question was straightforward and it must be answered well to convince him.

“The benefit of fixing the environment is...”

“That the death and wounded rate of the soldiers will be ten times lower then now.”

“!!!”

“!!!”

Both Cathain and Eleanora was shocked as ten times is no lower number.

“Ten times? Are you certain?!”

Eleanora asked with a surprised voice as she couldn’t believe that it’s possible.

“Yes, Your highness. But rectifying the environment will include treating the sewage properly. As well getting more medical resources and manpower.”

Jennifer spoke wisely as she knew had researched about it before when she was little.

‘Even plants get infected if the surrounding is not clean, human wounds are the same...

If the environment is not clean then it gives the chances to get infected.

Otherwise why would we use alcohol pads to clean the wounds before bandaging?’

Jennifer thought as she felt sweat appearing on her forehead.

This is only what she thinks.

There is no medical approval of it her suggestion yet.

And there are not many healers and priest to help the people, not to mention they are also rare.

So if they can use medical knowledge and replace the healers or priest with doctors, people can get cure easily.

They won’t need to ran after temple or priests to get well, they can just go to the hospital where will be more doctors to help them.

‘But it’s a long way to go, to fulfil my dream... I need to solve this problem now.’

“I understand... I would like to help.”

“This will be beneficial if it can be implement.”

Cathain and Eleanora spoke as they considered the situation, and agreed to help her.

Which made Jennifer’s face lit up.

“Thank you so much, Your Majesty and Your highness!!”

“I will talk with the other higher ups and inform them about your suggestions.”

Cathain spoke and then Eleanora suddenly remembered how Dion had helped her bandage her wound and they talked about his hospitals.

“You can also discuss this with Duke Richardo”

“...”

“He is in the charge of the medical supplies and also the commander of the medical army.”

“...”

“He owns many hospitals in his territory and he is also very good at medicines-”

“Seems like you two are quite close...”

Eleanora paused on her words as Cathain, who couldn’t bear it anymore intruppted her in the middle of her sentence.

‘I seem to smell a strong burning jealousy...’

‘…but can you please kick me out first?’

Jennifer thought as she looked at the couple infront of her and felt happy in her heart for them.

“Lady Raven, Don’t you have to talk with Duke Richardo... The commander of the medical army, the man who is very good at medicines and owns many hospitals?”

“...”

“...”

‘Is he venting out at me as he can’t vent it on her?’

Jennifer was speechless and she excused herself as she was relieved to get kicked out.

‘I wish you all the happiness which i had wrongly snatched away before, Your highness; the empress.’

…

Before becoming the duchy’s princess, Jennifer La Liana Raven, was just a abandoned girl Lennie; who was rescued by some people in a isolated village.

She was taken care by some old lady and the people in the village.

Little Lennie used to work at different places all day and night as she didn’t had a permanent place to stay except sleeping at the yard of everyone’s house from time to time with a blanket.

She would help the neighbour uncle sell newspapers at morning to get a bread.

Wash dishes at the aunts restaurants to get some foods or tips from the customers during the lunch time.

Sometimes she would work in garden till the evening to get some fruits if she failed to get leftover foods for lunch.

Then she would work in a small clinic to help the grandma’s son, who was a village doctor to get things, where she actually learnt about herbs and gradually got interested in medical field.

Little Lennie’s life was quite good even after all those hardships as she worked hard in the right path and also the people she meet was kind.

Then she was sent by the people in her village to a orphanage as she couldn’t sleep here and there without a permanent place.

She was a growing beautiful girl afterall.

Where she meet the real Jena, who was kind and cheerful.

She called her Jennie to match with her name Lennie, which was given to her by the people in the village who raised her till she was seven.

But her life turned upside down when Jena was suddenly sent to the viscount estate as soon as she turned 18.

The thirteen year old Lennie escaped from the orphanage to rescue her sister, only to see a bloody fight infront of her in a dark street.

There was a wounded boy with dark blue hair and lifeless golden eyes, who was asking for help.

Even if she was scared, Lennie wanted to help the boy.

She helped him to escape from there but before she could escape, a blonde man with green eyes stood infront of her.

Who claimed her to be his lost daughter.

As soon as the man hugged her and wiped tears, she immediately felt attachment towards that man and went back with him instead of going to the place where she had promised the boy she saved to meet with.

She become a lady overnight and kept working hard to please her father.

But then another shocking news came to her.

Her sister, Jena was dead.

.....

She was killed because of the new law where the empire bans slavery, which was proposed by the crown princess.

Duke Raven showed her fake reports as she couldn’t even tell which was official documents and which was fake.

Rage filled her and the duke succeed into brainwashing her.

Lennie gave up her dream to become a doctor to save lives and started to scheme to take away lives.

She entered the palace at the age of eighteen, during the coming of age ceremony banquet of the crown prince.

Where she saw the beautiful and strong crown princess, who returned temporarily from the battlefield.

Who was responsible for her sisters death.

The crown princess was cold and emotionless as she had heard, the crown prince was also ruthless.

Thus, she didn’t hesitated to do as her father wanted.

A young girl from the orphanage, who never knew how upper society worked was easy to mislead.

Duke Raven succeed into turning his own daughter into a successful puppet.

His son was too useless, who got no merit from him.

But the daughter he abandoned was useful.

Not only she got his scheming mind, she also have twin magic attribute.

Even if she hesitated or felt disgusted for what she was doing, wanted to back off but Duke Raven always ended up coaxing her.

It was only after the former empress execution when she got to know the truth.

But everything had already happened and there was no turning back.

She lived everyday with guilt and watched the people around her suffer because of her foolishness and mistakes.

Then she finally got a chance and didn’t hesitated to give up her own life to save the empress.

She swore to make things right this time as she felt her body and soul vanishing.

And when she opened her eyes, she found herself standing at the same dark alley.

A boy with dark blue hair and lifeless golden eyes asking for help again.

Unlike before, she used the dagger to kill those man’s instead of using her dark magic so that no one can detect her.

She helped the boy by healing his wound and this time, she escaped with that boy before the duke could find her without turning back.

‘This time, i will protect you, Your highness, The empress...’
