Princess and the General

ractitioner of poison had caused him to worry, but he slowly discovered that rather than poisoning others, Yu Fu was one who treated poisons.

Aside from when Qi Ting had rashly framed her, he had never seen her poison anyone in the manor.
On the contrary, Gu HuaiJiang, Gu ShuBai, and Su YunYan were all treated by Yu Fu when they were poisoned.

This sort of immortal practitioner of poison, how was she any different from the Deity of Medicine, who could save people from death’s doorstep?

Qi An returned to the present and heard Yu Fu say: “As for them being attacked by a swarm of snakes, there are many possibilities.
It could be that Western Kun’s people deliberately placed medicines that attracted snakes on their path up the mountain, and they ended up with that scent stuck to their bodies.
As a result, the snakes surrounded them.
I have also heard of snake tamers that could move entire groups of snakes, or it could be that they alerted Western Kun’s guards when they went to scout, and their guards moved to incite the snakes into attacking them.”

“How could that be any good? If they incite the snakes again, what should they do?”

“Don’t worry.
I will prepare some more medicine and have the courier bring it back.
I recall that the border between Western Kun and Eastern Ling is mountainous, and there are many medicinal herbs growing there.
All of them have snake-repelling effects.
Have the military doctors go out with escorts to gather them then distribute them with the soldiers.
Like that, there will be no problems.”

As Yu Fu spoke, she waved for Lian Bi to bring a brush and paper.
She then informed Yao Lan, “Go and bring the prescription for the sachet from last time.
Have someone go out and bring back some more of the materials.
If I had known that head general and the others were really going to encounter snakes, I would have made more preparations before they left.”

At that time, it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and she was thinking about Eastern Ling’s customs of using realgar to ward off snakes, thus she placed medicines that would ward off snakes inside the sachet.

Who knew that her random actions would end up being useful, saving the lives of Gu HuaiJiang and the others.

Yao Lan brought the prescription out, and Qi An personally received it, “Young miss, allow this old servant to go and fetch the prescription.
This old servant does not feel at ease with handing this sort of lifesaving medicine to the servants outside.”

Yu Fu smiled and said: “Alright, bring the letter to fourth brother and the others too.”

She handed the letter back inside the envelope and suddenly noticed something hard inside the envelope.
Emptying it into her palm, she found that it was a gem roughly the size of a fingernail that shone brilliantly.

What was amazing about it was that this gem was a different color depending on the angle.
In just a few moments, Yu Fu saw seven colors.

Qi An glanced at her palm and said in shock: “Ah, isn’t this one of Western Kun’s multicolored gems?”

Yu Fu had never heard of this multicolored gem and immediately handed it to Qi An, “What’s a multicolored gem?”

Qi An cheerfully said: “This is the rumored mystical gem.
It’s a gem that’s found in the jade mines on the border between Western Kun and Eastern Ling.
There’s no guarantee that one the size of a fingernail could be found in the entirety of the mine.
Head general and the others must have found the multicolored gem on Zhu Mountain.
They will definitely return from this war triumphant!”
