Chapter 88: Chapter 88 He Ran Away with the Medicine!
Chapter 88 -88 He Ran Away with the Medicine!
Xiang Ying brought the Military Doctor to inspect the situation and, fortunately, it turned out to be a false alarm.
The two persons were merely suffering from ordinary diarrhea, to whom Xiang Ying casually dispensed some herbs.
When she returned to the first ship, the Military Doctor, following anxiously behind, asked:
“Can my medicine really cure the plague? Just tell me the truth!”
He was well aware of what his medicine could actually treat.
How could it possibly handle the plague?
Yet, Xiang Ying simply affirmed with a nod, gaze unwavering: “It can cure.”
She planned to add her own secret ingredients to the herbal medicine.
With a combination of Eastern and Western medicine, those afflicted with the plague would surely see improvement within two days.
Seeing Xiang Ying’s reluctance to elaborate, the Military Doctor’s frown deepened with worry.
At night.
After visiting the children, Xiang Ying encountered Scar Face head-on as she emerged onto the deck.
He seemed to have been waiting for her specifically.
“Do you need something from me?”
“Elder Princess, I was thinking…” He dragged his words, scanning the surroundings and coughing softly to lower his voice, “I want to request medicine for Liu Taipin.”
Xiang Ying raised an eyebrow: “You don’t believe I can cure her?”
“No, no, no!” Scar Face hurriedly waved his hands, “It’s just that her condition seems more severe. At the bottom of the ship, people were complaining of hunger at night and ate quite a bit, but only Liu Taipin has been leaning in a corner, neither eating nor drinking.”
Frowning with concern, he added, “So I was wondering, is her dose of medicine not enough?”
Xiang Ying pursed her lips: “No, I prescribed precisely according to her age and condition.”
Hearing this, Scar Face could only reluctantly quell his anxiety.
“That’s good… I hope she pulls through.”
Xiang Ying arched her brows, teasingly asking: “Earlier you wanted nothing to do with her, why do you now view her as your responsibility?”
With a sigh, Scar Face spoke sentimentally: “Seeing her, an elderly widow, it’s rather pitiable. I just wanted to help.”
“Besides, my initial rejection of West Zhou people was due to the belief that they were all fools.”
After all, the Emperor Xizhou gave an impression of incompetence, and his people were suffering.
Scar Face shifted his tone: “However, after interacting with you, Elder Princess, I realize my prior views were prejudiced; good and bad people exist everywhere, it’s this damned world that’s at fault.”
Hearing this, Xiang Ying smiled.
“When this is over, I’ll teach you how to swim,” she said, patting Scar Face’s shoulder and walking towards Jie Chen’s room.
Pushing open the cabin door.
Jie Chen had already arranged his own bedding, leaning against the ship’s wall, reading a letter.
As Xiang Ying entered, he swiftly concealed the letter.
“You’re back?” His expression subtle, “I left some fish soup on the table for you.”
After washing her hands with diluted alcohol at the doorway, Xiang Ying removed her outer robe, surprised to see the soup on the table.
“I heard you went fishing this evening. Was it for making this soup?”
Jie Chen’s tone was indifferent: “What else? Some people are picky eaters, not even drinking a mouthful of meat porridge; to prevent her exhaustion, I can only do my best to help.”
Xiang Ying blinked her innocent Phoenix Eyes,
recalling the meat porridge she had disregarded.
She smiled lightly: “I’m not picky, just forgot with all the busyness. Let me try the soup now.”
As Xiang Ying picked up the soup cup and took a spoonful to her mouth,
Jie Chen lifted his eyes, quietly watching her, with a hint of anticipation.
“How does it taste?”
“Delicious,” Xiang Ying nodded earnestly, “The cooks are getting better.”
Jie Chen pursed his lips: “I made it.”
Xiang Ying, feigning surprise: “I hadn’t realized you were skilled in this craft.”
Jie Chen, having received praise, finally bowed his head again and pretended to be indifferent.
“You like it, drink all of it then. What do you want to eat tomorrow? I’ll have someone catch river shrimp and fry it for you?”
“Don’t bother the cook.”
“Then I’ll catch it myself, it’s no trouble.” After saying this, it seemed like he didn’t want her to refuse, so he added, “That’s settled then, you should rest now.”
He himself lay down first.
Xiang Ying finished the entire bowl of fish soup.
Actually, she was already stuffed to the brim, and she couldn’t tell Jie Chen that she had eaten ten lamb skewers, a stuffed pancake, four boneless chicken feet, and a cup of apple milk dew in the space in the evening.
Xiang Ying was never one to deprive herself, so now she only felt uncomfortably full.
She quietly leaned to one side, took out the list Seventh Princess helped compile, checked it one by one, and took the opportunity to digest.
Jie Chen’s voice suddenly sounded: “Or if there’s anything you need me to do, just tell me directly, I can help share the burden.”
Xiang Ying was startled.
She raised her water-like eyes to look at him; Jie Chen wasn’t looking at her but had his back to her, his profile firm.
Xiang Ying thought for a moment, a genuine smile bloomed at the edge of her red lips.
“When I think of it, I’ll tell you, and you’re not allowed to refuse.”
Jie Chen hummed in response, something seemed to have come to his mind, his back muscles suddenly tensed.
He quickly added, “Not that kind of thing.”
Xiang Ying clicked her tongue and chuckled: “What do you take me for! I, Xiang Ying, am not that kind of lustful ghost.”
The one who was lascivious in the past was the original owner, what does that have to do with her, Xiang Ying?
Jie Chen did not speak further, and after a while, Xiang Ying also lay down to rest.
The ship floated on the dangerous river, glimmering with a ghostly blue hue.
Xiang Ying wasn’t sleepy, for treating the plague wasn’t really a challenging task for her.
What she really needed to think about was whether she would be given a hard time by that Deputy General after arriving in Lu State.
It’s true she killed Captain Jia, this was indisputable, and the opponent’s personality might not be easy to handle.
Right, the letter Jie Chen received… could it be of any help?
Xiang Ying remembered just before entering the door, his action of hiding the letter, Phoenix Eyes darkened, she turned her head to look.
In the dark blue light, the water outside splashed against the ship, creating a rustling sound.
Jie Chen remained lying down, his side profile handsome, his bone structure extremely sharp.
He must have fallen asleep.
Thinking of this, Xiang Ying silently got out of bed, slowly walking over, she reached out, gently lifting the lapel of Jie Chen’s robe.
Xiang Ying’s palm moved extremely lightly inside his clothes searching.
She felt nothing but a hard chest, the touch was not bad.
But where was that letter? She remembered seeing him put it inside.
Suddenly, a cold voice came: “Have you felt enough?”
Xiang Ying stiffened and looked up, Jie Chen had awakened at some point, still maintaining his lying position, but his thin eyes were staring straight at her.
Xiang Ying immediately withdrew her hand, and at the same time, Jie Chen sat up too.
“What are you looking for?” He raised his eyebrows, his thin black eyes filled with inquiry.
Xiang Ying naturally would not admit it, and replied without changing her expression: “Looking for the feeling of that intimate night we once shared, you’re right, I am a lustful ghost.”
Jie Chen’s face instantly turned iron-black!
He immediately stood up: “I’m going out to sleep, you rest here.”
Just as he was about to leave, pulling the door open, he saw Skinny Monkey about to knock on the door.
Skinny Monkey didn’t expect Jie Chen to suddenly appear, his hand pausing mid-air.
Feeling he was here for Xiang Ying, Jie Chen frowned: “It’s late, she’s asleep, talk about it tomorrow.”
However, Xiang Ying leaned out from behind him and looked out: “What is it?”

Skinny Monkey then came to his senses, reporting: “The Military Doctor ran away with the medicine!”
