Ms. Doctor Divine

She decided to make the medicine personally for them, whilst Yuanxiang helped to make the medicine for those who were slightly-infected.

When she was making the medicine, Gu Chaoyan put one drop of magical water into the liquid.

The magical water from the space did not work on everything, but at least, it worked better than most of the existing medicine. With the help of the magical water, those people would get better faster. And Gu Chaoyan felt much more assured with the magical water in as well.

So she waited by the medicine as it was being boiled.

“Chaoyan.” Zhou Huaijin rushed in. “What happened?”

Gu Chaoyan found Zhou Huaijin with unkempt hair and panting, but he did not care about his hair now, and asked anxiously.

He just heard the news and rushed to this place. He had not even made a detailed inquiry.

Gu Chaoyan narrated the whole situation to him about the refugees.

Zhou Huaijin frowned deeply.

That was an important matter, but no one in the capital cared about it. How strange!

Normally, refugees tended to stream to the south and places like the capital, where they were fed with porridge. As the first snow fell, he thought that all the refugees had flowed southwards, but the truth was that they just could not get into the capital. Zhou Huaijin laughed ironically.

They all believed that the Phoenix Girl was a fortunate omen, something written in the destiny, but he saw no fortunate omens, just a court that was worse than before. So what was this so-called Phoenix Girl doing anyway?

“I have already informed Saint College. They are dispatching some people to offer help.” Zhou Huaijin told Gu Chaoyan. He was worried that those refugees would tire her out.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Now that the medicine was done, Gu Chaoyan called out to Sword Two.

Sword Two told the refugees to come and get the medicine.

Zhou Huaijin offered to serve the medicine next to Gu Chaoyan. He did not want her to be too busy.

When it was the grandpa’s turn for the medicine, the grandpa asked curiously, “Lady Chaoyan, who is this Young Master?”

“Lord Huai,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly, as if she were saying the name of someone ordinary.

When the grandpa heard her words, he was so startled that he dropped the bowl. Luckily, the bowl was not yet filled, or the boiled medicine would burn him.

“What?…” Grandpa just could not regain his breath. “Lord Huai is serving medicine for us?”

The others were all startled too.

Those farmers were very ordinary civilians, and the officers at the local government were the ones with the highest social rank they could ever see, but even those officers did not serve medicine for them! Now Lord Huai, this noble Lord Huai, was serving medicine for them!

Well, the grandpa had not been reminded of how the future Princess Consort was feeling their pulses, since Gu Chaoyan was an easygoing lady and they forgot about her real social status.

Someone called out. “Greetings, Lord Huai, wish you live to one thousand years old!”

Then everyone else followed suit and kneeled down.

That made Zhou Huaijin a bit distressed. He waved his hands and said, “Just get up, and don’t greet me. You are all sick, kneeling isn’t good for you.”

Having said these words, he helped the grandpa to get up. Then the others followed suit.

The grandpa’s hands that held the bowl were shivering. It was Lord Huai standing in front of them, and they did not deserve any of this.

Seeing the scene, Gu Chaoyan was worried that the medicine would get cold. So she said to Lord Huai, “Just take a break there, let Sword Two do the job. They would not dare to get the medicine with you here.”
