In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chapter 172 Baby

"Master, that's natural. Since you've spoken, we'll certainly do it without hesitation... As long as you're willing to show some mercy and spare our lives, that'll be all that's left."

The two people below did not behave like doctors from the Imperial Hospital at all, and their faces were full of flattery.

Xu Qingyin sighed. When will this kind of day ever end? Seven months have already passed.

If her own guess is correct, it will take another half a year.

The past six months have been really hard to endure.

But she took out the letter that Lu Yan had written to her at that time and read it over and over again.

In fact, Lu Yan's life was not easy either, and he was also working hard. The two of them were running towards the future together.

Thinking about it this way, she still felt a little comforted in her heart, at least there was still a chance for them to meet again.

The next day, Xu Qingyin brought her vaccines and top-grade medicines to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was now lying on the bed, still moaning.

Hundreds of maids were coming in and out, serving her in a hurry, and it seemed that there were not enough people.

In fact, the Queen Mother just had a low fever at this time.

After all, although the people in the Imperial Hospital did not have the ability to cure the epidemic, as long as it was possible to cure it, all kinds of precious medicinal materials were thrown at her. How bad could she be?

When she saw Xu Qingyin, she actually managed a smile:

"Yin'er, you're here. Look, this is what the Imperial Hospital did for me. Things have come to this point, and they are such a bunch of rubbish that they still haven't cured me."

Xu Qingyin's face was full of care for the Queen Mother:

"I knew that this bunch of useless people wouldn't be able to take good care of you, so I asked the witch for these medicines in advance. They will definitely be able to cure your illness."

After saying this, she glanced down and saw that the pill next to the Queen Mother was faintly red for some reason.

"This is?"

In her impression, the medicines that the Queen Mother had been taking recently were all black.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about? They said these medicines can't cure it, probably because they lack better medicine inducers, so they went to seek for the medicine inducers."

"What kind of medicine is this?"

When Xu Qingyin said this, she had already had a vague guess in her heart, and had a bad premonition. Sure enough, she heard the Queen Mother say casually:

"This is all for my health. This is the blood and sweat of the ten strongest and most obedient infants and children that they personally found for me in the capital."

When she heard this, Xu Qingyin's hands were shaking, and she didn't know how to describe her feelings.

She had known that they were living off the people and often plundered their wealth, but when she saw them actually sucking human blood, she still found it incredible.

How can people be so cruel?

Yes, they have grown up with all kinds of silver spoons and have long since forgotten what human suffering is.

Then ordinary happiness cannot satisfy them, so in their eyes, taking heart blood is actually as simple as taking ordinary medicine. In their hearts, these things should serve themselves.

From childhood to adulthood, they have become accustomed to the feeling of stepping on humans.

Even if we eat their flesh and drink their blood, what difference does it make to them?

Xu Qingyin's hands were still shaking when she saw this. She simply couldn't believe it, but she still had to serve such a person.

He also pretended to care about her wholeheartedly, but she didn't know whether he was a good person or a bad person.

"What's wrong, Yin'er? Are your hands shaking? Oh, I know you always advise me not to be too harsh, but you also know that my health is the most important thing."

Xu Qingyin quickly collected her expression and said with a faint smile:

"What are you talking about, Empress Dowager? These lowly people's bodies are naturally not as good as yours, but they are the hope of all of Yunjin. Without you, who knows how bad our lives would be?"

When she said this, she brought the medicine to the Empress Dowager's mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"But those people in the Imperial Hospital are really capable. Although my body is not completely healed, I do feel good after drinking this."

Xu Qingyin clenched her fists.

If I don't cure her illness quickly, I don't know how many infants and young children she will kill, and I am powerless to do anything about it.

Xu Qingyin watched such tragedies happen every day. She felt like she was going crazy. She really couldn't stand it anymore, but what could she do?

Could it be possible that she could usurp the throne?

Why hasn't Lu Yan come back yet?

At this moment, her hatred for this group of people had reached its peak.

"Your Highness, I brought some medicines and some for injections. You may not understand, but this is what the witch taught me."

"What do you mean by injection?"

"It means piercing your skin with a needle, which may cause some damage to your skin."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she seemed to have heard something incredible. She did not expect Xu Qingyin to make such an absurd request, and she immediately rejected it.

"You can't damage my skin."

Xu Qingying held the glass bottle and the syringe beside him in his hand without saying a word. He actually knew how spoiled the Empress Dowager was, so this request was definitely not easy.

During this period, because Xu Qingyin was really useful to the Queen Mother, not to mention that she was taking care of the Queen Mother, Xu Qingying was almost meticulous, so the Queen Mother also cared more about Xu Qingyin's opinion, and just continued:

"I'm not saying your stuff is bad, but you shouldn't let me damage my body.

"I've just had a low-grade fever lately, but the method the Imperial Hospital came up with recently is very useful. Maybe if I take a few more doses of this medicine, I'll get better and won't have to suffer like this anymore. If anyone else needs it, please give it to me."

Xu Qingyin heard her words so clearly that she had almost no way to respond.

Yes, the medicine we are using now is so bloody. It sucks other people's blood, so it is natural that it is easy to survive!

But what about the infants and young children you sucked away?

How many families would have to give up hope to alleviate the Queen Mother's suffering? If we could endure this and cure the Queen Mother, it would probably require hundreds of babies.

So Xu Qingyin had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"But Empress Dowager, you know that this blood can only temporarily relieve your pain. It can't cure it completely, and it may even recur later."
