Rouyao glanced at her and said, "Don't blame me for being frank. Although the prince is not the most handsome man in the capital, he is powerful and imposing. He can charm a group of girls when he goes out. But you, on the other hand, have not dressed up for many years. You are unkempt and don't care about anything. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are a maid. To be honest, you look almost the same as Xiaosun now, or even better. Zi'an, a woman should pay attention to her appearance. When you return to the capital, you should dress up well."
"Am I that bad?" Zi'an was so devalued by her that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Rouyao put her arm around her shoulders and walked back, saying earnestly, "I'm not exaggerating at all. Women should be kind to themselves. If we can return to Beijing, I will definitely help you and take good care of your appearance. By the way, have you heard of Baimi Guipi Pills?"
"What is that? I haven't heard of it."
"That's a good thing. If a woman eats it, her complexion will be radiant, her skin will be bright and her blood will be regenerated. It's a great treasure for women."
Zi'an's voice came from afar, "Then Baimi Guipi Pills were not developed by you yourself, right?"
"It doesn't matter who did it. As long as you eat well, I'll be at ease. Then spread the word about me in Beijing. If I become famous, my clinic will run smoothly, right?"
Although Rouyao's words were half true and half false, they weighed on Zi'an's heart like a stone.
Later, General Hui under Qin Zhou went up to Wolf Tail Mountain and discussed with Qin Zhou for almost an hour.
Later, Qin Zhou asked A Jing to invite her in.
When Zi'an went in, he saw a burly man and Qin Zhou sitting on the ground, with a big bowl of tea in front of them.
When General Hui saw her coming in, he stood up and bowed, saying, "I pay my respects to the princess."
Zi'an quickly extended his hand and said, "General, you are so polite."
Ah Jing introduced Zi'an, "Princess, this is General Hui."
"It turned out to be General Hui."
Qin Zhou said calmly: "Sit down. Since we are going to take action, you should also participate in the decision-making of the plan."
After saying that, she glanced at Zi'an again and said, "We rough people don't care too much. We just sit wherever there is a place. If the princess is not used to sitting on the ground, then..."
Before she finished her words, Zi'an had already sat cross-legged on the ground.
Qin Zhou turned his face away, looking somewhat unhappy.
General Hui took out a topographic map and said, "This is the topographic map of the Beast Garden. The granary is in the northwest corner. There are many guards over there because in addition to the granary, there is also a warehouse next door. Most of the things stored in the warehouse are royal supplies, as well as treasures."
Zi'an looked at the topographic map and couldn't help but exclaim, "This Beast Garden is really big."
"Yes, there are 375 rooms in total, divided into 36 palaces, which are larger than the imperial palace. This beast garden was built in the first year of the royal family's accession to the throne, and was completed two years ago. It took a full 18 years to build. The things inside are very precious, including precious flowers, furniture and decorations, all of which are of the highest quality. There are also secret rooms with tunnels, but I don't have a map of the tunnels."
"Why is this Beast Garden built more magnificently than the Imperial Palace?" Zi'an was puzzled. If it was a villa, then logically speaking, its specifications could not be higher than those of the Imperial Palace.
Qin Zhou said calmly, "The emperor wanted to move the palace, but due to years of war, the treasury was empty. Once the palace was fully moved, it would need to be of a higher standard. It must be magnificent. Everything the emperor and his concubines used had to be re-customized. The emperor was unwilling to compromise and had to have the best, so he kept postponing the date of the move."
Zi'an said, "Oh," and realized that's what it is.
"This Beast Taming Garden must have cost a lot of money, right? They say the treasury is empty, but it took 18 years to build this garden. How could it be possible?" Zi'an sighed that while the rich are feasting and drinking, others are freezing to death on the streets.
Qin Zhou said nothing, but judging from her livid face, she actually did not approve of this Beast Garden. However, when it was built, she was not yet a general.
"Okay, let's get back to the point!" Zi'an looked at Qin Zhou, "Before we take action, should we explore the route?"
"I will explore the way myself, and you can just listen to my news in the mountains." Qin Zhou said.
"I'll go with you." Zi'an thought that since he was going there, he might as well go to the pharmacy and bring back some medicine. Some patients really couldn't wait any longer.
"No, the guards in the Beast Garden are very skilled in martial arts. I will go there only to find out the guards' positions and patrol rules. I can go alone, so as not to let you drag me down." Qin Zhou objected.
Zian chuckled, "Am I a burden to you?"
The tone is full of sarcasm.
Qin Zhou was her defeated opponent, how dare she say such words.
Qin Zhou was a little annoyed. "This is for your own good. Even if you have the divine rope to protect you, you can't resist the feather arrows."
Zi'an insisted on going, "You must take me. I need to go to the pharmacy to get medicine. Several patients cannot wait any longer. If they don't get the medicine, they will die."
"Whatever medicine you want, I will get it for you."
"You don't understand medical theory or medicine, and I can't explain it to you clearly. If you take the wrong medicine, all your efforts will be in vain."
Qin Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I will go and see those patients to see if what you said is true."
Zi'an rolled her eyes. Why did Qin Zhou doubt her so much
"Go ahead!"
Qin Zhou stood up and walked towards the patient area.
Not long after, she came back with a gloomy face, "You can go with me, but you must follow my orders."
Those people are really dying, Lin Dan said, if there is no medicine, they may not survive until tomorrow but not the day after tomorrow.
"Okay!" Zi'an agreed immediately.
The two of them left as soon as they said they would, and went down the mountain before dark.
A Jing wanted to follow, but because they were going to explore the way, too many people would easily alert the enemy, so Qin Zhou refused to let A Jing follow.
As they rode down the mountain, Zi'an suddenly remembered her grandfather's illness, "Did your grandfather take the medicine?"
"Drink it!" The sound of wind accompanied Qin Zhou's voice, which seemed unclear.
"Can you find the golden key?"
"Although there is no golden key in Beimo, there is one in the palace."
Zi'an hummed and sighed, "It would be great if all the disaster victims were treated like your grandfather. It's really the same people with different fates."
Qin Zhou remained silent and just whipped the horse.
Zi'an discovered that there seemed to be some rift between her and her grandfather.
She didn't want to ask about these military affairs.
Qin Zhou, on the other hand, suddenly slowed down and asked, "After drinking the medicine, will I be cured?"
"I don't know. This prescription is not mine. It's Doctor Wen Yi's. I just saw it in her book." Zi'an said.
"Are you really Doctor Wen Yi's disciple?" He asked in a suspicious tone again.
Zi'an didn't bother with her this time. After all, she was really not in a legitimate position.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Qin Zhou was silent for a while before he said, "I hope you are serious. Then the people in the disaster area will be saved."
"That requires medicine." Zi'an rode his horse to catch up with her, "Qin Zhou, I have something I want to ask you, I hope you can tell me."
Qin Zhou said coldly: "You want to ask me if I like Murong Jie? That's unnecessary!"
