Chapter 287 Heartbroken
Because there were so many wounded, by the time Shen Yiyi and the others had finished treating all of them, it was already dark.
"Are you tired?" Shang Zhanchen looked at Shen Yiyi with concern and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
He was reluctant to let his Crown Princess suffer so much, but there were too many injured.
If it is not treated in time, the disease may be delayed at best, or even life-threatening at worst. He has no other choice.
"Yeah." Shen Yiyi nodded.
She was really tired and felt like she couldn't even straighten her back. Fortunately, General Zhan fed her tea from time to time, so her stomach wasn't so dry.
"Go back and have some rest. Dinner should be ready." Shang Zhanchen pointed to the tent.
He specially asked someone to go to a nearby town and buy some vegetables, just to give some nourishment to his Crown Princess.
"Yeah." Shen Yiyi nodded and ran straight to the tent. She was indeed hungry at this moment.
Seeing that all the wounded were arranged into the tents, General Su looked at Shen Yiyi's back with gratitude.
"Crown Prince, the Crown Princess is truly righteous. I admire her."
The status of the Crown Princess is so noble, yet she is not afraid of hardship or fatigue and works like everyone else.
She never complained or felt tired, and worked faster than anyone else. He really admired her. If the Crown Princess became the Queen in the future, she would definitely be the mother of the country.
This is not only a blessing for the prince, but also a blessing for the people of Da Shang.
“…………”Shang Zhanchen didn’t say a word.
The corners of his mouth curled up and he felt even happier because he felt that General Su was right.
His Crown Princess deserves their admiration, and even he himself feels this way; this woman is not afraid of hardship or fatigue.
The most important thing is that she is kind-hearted. He wants such a woman to be his crown princess.
As I was thinking about it, I heard General Su's voice again.
"It's also fortunate that the Crown Princess brought everyone with her to quickly make so many medicines."
General Su looked at the tent where the medicines were stored again. Fortunately, the Crown Princess had led people to produce those finished medicines in the past two days.
Otherwise, there would definitely be a shortage of medicines today, and who knows how many people would not be able to get treatment.
Following his gaze, Shang Zhanchen also looked at the tent where the medicines were stored, but his brows were frowned.
"........."
I originally planned to use those medicines to exchange for military supplies, but after using so much today, I’m afraid I can’t rely on them anymore.
Shen Yiyi returned to the tent and washed up. Before she even sat down on the chair, Doctor Sun came in with a big notebook.
"Master, how did you connect that finger? Please explain it to your disciple first."
Looking at the big notebook in his hand, Shen Yiyi frowned.
"Why rush? Let's talk about it later." He turned around and sat down.
I'm so hungry right now, I don't have time to talk about those things.
"Then there are still two herbs in today's recipe that you haven't mentioned yet. Why don't you talk to me about them first?"
Doctor Sun turned another page and came closer, but was rejected by Shen Yiyi again.
"Let's talk about that tomorrow. I have to eat."
She was tired and hungry at the moment, so she had no mood to teach those things. What's more, there were delicious food on the table, so she had even less energy to do that.
She no longer cared about General Zhan and just picked up the bowl and started eating. She wished she could fill her stomach up in one go.
Seeing that the Crown Princess's mind was focused on the food in front of her, Doctor Sun gave up and took back his notebook.
When Shang Zhanchen came in, Shen Yiyi had finished her meal. She simply washed up and climbed into bed.
She fell into a deep sleep after a while. Knowing that she was too tired, Shang Zhanchen was not angry.
He even went in to cover her with a blanket, looked at her curiously for a while, and even took the opportunity to take advantage of her.
They kissed each other secretly several times before coming out. Shen Yiyi was sleeping like a dead dog and was unaware of all this.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next day. Listening to the noisy sounds outside, I thought everyone had already woken up.
After washing up and walking out, I saw Shang Zhanchen sitting there and the food was already served.
"Good morning!" Shen Yiyi smiled at him. She felt embarrassed to make others wait for her to eat.
"Yeah." Shang Zhanchen curled the corners of his mouth and handed over the rice porridge.
"What are your plans for today?"
"Well... today I plan to take them to the mountains to collect herbs." Shen Yiyi stuffed a large piece of steamed bun into her mouth.
Originally, the finished medicines we made were intended to be sold, but there were so many casualties yesterday.
Most of the medicine has been used, so I want to make some more quickly so that I can have a considerable income.
Although she didn't value money too much, the more the better, and she didn't have much medicine in stock now.
If there is another war, it may not be available, so no matter from which angle you consider it, this medicine must be made.
"Well, I have something to do today, so I won't accompany you." Shang Zhanchen added some more vegetables to Shen Yiyi's bowl.
His Crown Princess is really getting more and more sensible. He originally wanted to ask her to prepare another batch of medicine, but now it seems there is no need to waste any more words.
"Oh." Shen Yiyi nodded.
I wanted to ask him what he was busy with, but then I remembered that he was a general and had a lot of things to do, so it was normal for him to be busy.
I was just a little disappointed, after all, he accompanied me every time I went into the mountains.
I felt a little empty inside when I was suddenly told that I couldn't go, but I also knew that they couldn't always be with me.
After dinner, I took all my equipment and walked out of the tent, only to find that everyone was already waiting there.
Looking at their tattered clothes, he looked at Jiang Zuo curiously.
"Don't they have any clothes to change into?" He pointed at the torn clothes on everyone, some of which were still covered in blood.
This reminded her of how messy they had built it when she first came here.
"Um... Miss, they have no more clothes to change into." Jiang Zuo took a look at the tattered clothes on everyone.
Ever since the Crown Princess came here, they tried to dress neatly as much as possible, but one battle after another continued.
There are no intact clothes left, and yesterday's battle was so brutal, except for them.
I'm afraid it would be hard to find a few clothes that are not torn.
"Won't the court give them new clothes?" Shen Yiyi looked at Jiang Zuo with a frown.
They are risking their lives to protect the territory here, and their clothes are torn like this. The court should not ignore it.
"The imperial court would like to intervene, but the treasury is empty now, so they don't have the ability to do so even if they want to."
Jiang Zuo sighed. The imperial court was probably poorer than them now, and this was not just a matter of one or two people.
How could they get the military supplies for hundreds of thousands of people? He seemed to remember something and looked up at Shen Yiyi again.
"But General Zhan and General Su are already discussing this matter."
The master is going to discuss this matter with General Su today. Right now, the soldiers have no spare clothes.
We have to solve this problem even if we don't have money. Otherwise, if there is another war, I'm afraid everyone will be exposed.
"Oh." Shen Yiyi nodded.
No wonder General Zhan didn't go into the mountains with her to collect herbs. It turned out to be because of this.
