Chapter 268 Yellow Mist
At night, Qianhuan still had a high fever. Shisan kept applying cold towels to her forehead and took good care of her.
The next day, Qianhuan woke up very late. She opened her eyes, held her forehead, and slowly sat up.
When Thirteen saw the person on the bed moving, he immediately ran over to help Qianhuan up and asked, "Miss Qianhuan, you're finally awake. Are you feeling any discomfort?"
Qianhuan answered truthfully, "I feel dizzy, my whole body aches and I feel weak, and I feel a little cold."
"You were in such a hurry this time that it triggered the cold in your body. I asked the waiter to make some porridge for you. You can drink some porridge and then take the medicine. Do this for two days and you should be feeling better the day after tomorrow."
After saying this, Thirteen went out and asked someone to ask the waiter to bring some porridge over.
Qianhuan was worried about the medicine and asked, "Did Chiying go to the palace?"
"Yes, he has already gone. Lord Chiying should have been in the palace to meet His Majesty the King of Dongling."
Now that she knew Chi Ying had gone to the palace, Qian Huan felt relieved.
After drinking the porridge and taking the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep again.
Before going to sleep, Qianhuan was still thinking that when she returned to Beijing this time, she would definitely ask Doctor Bai to take a good look at her and take some medicine to force out the coldness in her body. Otherwise, this coldness would be like a time bomb and would relapse at any time if she was not careful.
Moreover, she will be 15 years old after the Chinese New Year, but she hasn't had her period yet. I'm afraid it has something to do with the coldness in her body.
I had originally planned to find a famous doctor to see me when I went to the capital, but I was so busy making money that I forgot about it.
Qianhuan woke up again in the afternoon. What she was most concerned about was asking for medicine. After all, the Xuefu Fruit was too rare, and she was afraid that His Majesty the King of Dongling would not give it out easily.
"Thirteen, has Chiying returned from the palace?"
"My lady, Lord Chiying hasn't come back yet. Please eat something first."
Qianhuan shook her head, "I have no appetite."
Thirteen advised, "Young lady, you should eat a little. Only when you are full will you have strength and your body will get better faster. If you don't want to eat oily and meaty food, I will ask the waiter to cook you two light vegetables."
Qianhuan was finally persuaded, "Okay, let the waiter prepare it."
After eating something and sitting on the bed for a while, Qianhuan couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, it was already late at night. Thirteen was leaning on the low couch in the room. When she heard the noise, she quickly got up and walked to the bedside, "Girl, you are awake, are you hungry?"
Qianhuan shook her head, "I'm not hungry. Chiying has come back, right? How did you get the medicine? Is His Majesty Dongling willing to give me the Xuefu Fruit?"
Thirteen sighed and said with some disappointment, "Miss, the matter of seeking medicine is not going smoothly. Lord Chiying almost took out 80% of the silver in the entire Prince An's Mansion as a bargaining chip, but His Majesty the King of Dongling was unwilling to take out the Xuefu Fruit in exchange."
Qianhuan was not discouraged when she heard this. The Snow Lotus Fruit can only be picked once every hundred years and has the effect of prolonging life. She had long guessed that the King of Dongling would not easily give it up for exchange.
After all, as the king of a country, he would never be short of gold, silver and jewelry. Longevity is the only thing they desire most. It seems that she has to take care of her health quickly and then find another way.
After about two or three days of recuperation, Qianhuan's condition finally improved, and she asked Shisan to call Chiying over.
"Chiying, His Majesty the Dongling Kingdom is unwilling to give out the Xuefu Fruit. Can you think of any good solution?"
Chi Ying has been very worried these past two days. Now, almost half of a month has passed, and the King of Dongling State is determined. No matter what conditions Chi Ying offers, he is unwilling to give up the Xuefu Fruit.
Chi Ying had already made up his mind. He told his plan truthfully, "Miss Qianhuan, I sent someone to find out the exact location of the Xuefu Fruit in the Dongling Palace yesterday. I plan to lead some people to break into the palace tonight and steal the Xuefu Fruit out."
However, Qianhuan disagreed. "Your method won't work. Not to mention that the palace is heavily guarded, you can't steal the Xuefu Fruit successfully. Even if you can steal it, the palace has been robbed, and we may not be able to leave Dongling smoothly. We can't use this method until the last minute."
"Then what can we do? His Majesty the King of Dongling has no interest in gold, silver and jewelry. No matter how tempting the conditions are, he remains unmoved. I really have no choice but to resort to this last resort."
Qianhuan said, "Send someone to find out if the King of Dongling wants anything else in particular, or if he has any particularly difficult problems that he can't solve. If we can help solve them, maybe we can give it a try."
"Okay, I will take someone to find out the news."
In the evening, Chiying and his men returned to the inn dejectedly.
Qianhuan couldn't help but ask, "Chiying, why do you look so sad? Doesn't the Lord of Dongling have anything he wants, or any troubles he needs to solve?"
Chi Ying said helplessly, "That's not entirely true. The Lord of Dongling State does have a very troublesome matter to resolve, but we can't do anything about it."
"If you tell me what I mean, maybe we can all think of a solution."
Chi Ying didn't believe that anyone could think of a solution if he told them, but when Qian Huan pressed him, he had no choice but to tell them everything he had learned.
"Miss Qianhuan, I have already found out that the yellow fog in the western part of Dongling Kingdom has been very serious in recent years, which has seriously affected the lives of local people. This is the most troublesome and urgent issue for the King of Dongling Kingdom. However, this yellow fog is not determined by astronomical phenomena, and we have no way to solve this problem."
Qianhua had never heard of the term yellow fog, so she curiously asked, "Chiying, what is yellow fog?"
Chi Ying didn't expect Qian Huan to not even know what yellow fog was, but he still patiently explained, "Yellow fog is a type of windy and sandy weather. Every time yellow fog appears, countless dust will fall from the sky, and the entire earth will become dark. The villages will be swallowed by the dust, and there will be chaos between heaven and earth. The people have nowhere to hide, and the dust will be in their mouths, noses, and eyes. The local people are suffering terribly, and many have already moved away. As a result, a large area of land in the west of Dongling Country is now deserted, while the east is overcrowded."
After listening to Chi Ying's description, Qian Hua's eyes lit up. Isn't this so-called yellow fog a sandstorm? This question is simply a piece of cake for her. When she was in school, her teacher had talked about how to solve sandstorms.
It is nothing more than planting more trees, greening the environment, establishing ecological barriers, returning farmland to forests and grasslands, and restoring natural ecological protection zones. The natural ecological environment that has been damaged must be restored as soon as possible.
In addition, it is necessary to control the development of animal husbandry by residents on the grassland, so that the grassland can recuperate and reduce land desertification.
Qianhua said to Chiying confidently, "Chiying, I have a way to solve the problem of yellow fog."
Chi Ying was a little bit unbelieving, "Really? Miss Qianhuan, can you really help the King of Dongling State solve the yellow fog? This yellow fog has been a long-standing problem in Dongling State, and no one has ever been able to come up with a solution."
