Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 230 Looking for Medicine

The princess looked at Gu Qingyuan and finally nodded, "Then I'll go to sleep first and take over from you in the second half of the night."

Now the people are still immersed in the fear after the flood and need someone to watch over them. Gu Qingyuan and the princess have been with them to reassure them.

Gu Qingyuan replied: "Okay."

After saying this, the princess returned to her room to rest, while Gu Qingyuan patrolled and counted how many people were feeling unwell.

She still remembered the little girl she had seen before who was crying and thought she was going to die. When she saw her again, she was much better and the redness on her face had faded a lot.

The little girl seemed to like her very much. When she saw her again, she stretched out her hands from her mother's arms and asked her to hold her.

Gu Qingyuan took her with a smile and asked, "How do you feel, Xiaobao?"

The girl said in a baby voice, "I'm much better now!"

The woman explained, "I couldn't find a clean towel, so I tore a piece of clothing, wet it with water, and used it to wipe her. After that, she took some medicine, and her fever has gradually subsided."

"It's okay."

Perhaps because she has her own children, Gu Qingyuan now likes children, especially well-behaved and cute ones, and wants to play with them.

After Xiaobao let her hold him for a while, the woman took him over because she was afraid that Gu Qingyuan would be tired.

"I heard them calling you 'Young Master Gu', right? Well, Young Master Gu, go and get busy. I'll take Xiaobao downstairs first."

Xiaobao seemed a little reluctant to leave Gu Qingyuan, and stretched out his little hand and waved at her: "Goodbye then."

Gu Qingyuan nodded and smiled, "Goodbye."

The woman took the child away, and Gu Qingyuan continued patrolling. They were now in the suburbs some distance away from Xiancheng.

After all, there are still quite a lot of people in southern Xinjiang. If they all rush to Xiancheng, it will probably cause panic. Moreover, if the diseases they get are contagious, it will be bad if they infect the innocent people in Xiancheng.

For several days, Gu Qingyuan was busy dealing with the people's affairs.

She originally thought that most people had fever and diarrhea, but she never expected that some people also had athlete's foot and jock itch.

Their feet and legs have been soaked in water, and now some people's soles have begun to ulcerate.

She has now put the matter of the mermaid behind her and is only thinking about how to heal the people.

In the makeshift shed, people took off their shoes and socks without caring about their image and began to scratch the soles of their feet.

Some people feel itchy around their thighs, but are too embarrassed to take off their pants, so they can only scratch continuously, even causing bleeding.

"Now how to do?"

The princess asked Gu Qingyuan somewhat helplessly.

The few imperial doctors they brought with them were somewhat helpless in dealing with these symptoms. They had been busy dealing with the people's fever and diarrhea some time ago and were already exhausted. Now, during this period, people had been suffering from athlete's foot and jock itch one after another.

The good thing was that the rain stopped, but every time they went to check on the people, they could smell a foul odor.

The flesh on the people's feet and legs had rotted, emitting a foul odor.

Those with stronger resistance are fine, but some with weaker resistance are directly infected.

"We can't panic now."

If even they panic, the people will probably be even more afraid.

"Oh, I seem to remember there are a few herbs that can treat athlete's foot and athlete's foot."

Gu Qingyuan vaguely remembered her previous encounter with Ye Qiaohuan; it was recorded in the notes she had left for herself. She tried hard to recall it.

There seems to be a plant called Schizonepeta tenuifolia that can be eaten as a vegetable and used as medicine.

Schizonepeta can dissipate heat and relieve itching.

"What? I'll get someone to look for it right away."

Gu Qingyuan picked up a branch and drew on the ground.

"Your Highness, listen to me first... There's a plant called Nepeta tenuifolia, and it looks like this. It has small, fuzzy purple flowers, usually found near bushes."

"There's also rhubarb, which has leaves that look a bit like palms. And ragweed, which also has purple flowers, but they're a darker shade than nepeta."

As Gu Qingyuan spoke, she roughly drew the appearance of the plants she mentioned on the ground.

"We can send people to look for these plants that can treat skin diseases."

"it is good."

The princess trusted Gu Qingyuan very much. After she finished speaking, she immediately took people to find the herbs she mentioned.

Gu Qingyuan came to the people. When they saw Gu Qingyuan, they wailed, "Master Gu, our legs and feet are itchy. What should we do?"

"Yes, yes, I've scratched it all, but it still itches. I really want to take a knife and cut the flesh out."

"Could you please let me take a look at your feet?"

"If Young Master Gu doesn't mind, then go ahead and watch it."

Several people stretched out their feet towards her, and the dizzy smell entered her nose.

Gu Qingyuan pinched her nose and observed the condition of their feet.

These people are all men. Southern Xinjiang is different from Daning Kingdom, where men are in charge.

After letting her look at their feet, several men jokingly said, "Master Gu, I heard that in your place, women marry husbands and men marry men, right?"

Their tone made Gu Qingyuan very uncomfortable, but thinking that they were patients, Gu Qingyuan endured it.

"If you know, why are you asking?"

"Oh, I'm just saying that. I think you're completely different from the women here. As a woman, shouldn't you stay at home and be pampered?"

"That's right, if you were our woman, we would definitely not let you show your face in public."

Several people looked at her with lustful eyes.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I still look down on you."

Gu Qingyuan's words seemed to have touched a point in their hearts, and several men immediately became angry.

"Why are you pretending? If you look down on us, do you think a man would want a woman like you who has no femininity at all?"

"That is, you are in Daning Kingdom. If you were in our Southern Border...ah!"

Gu Qingyuan grabbed the wrist of the man who was speaking and broke it hard.

"Go on!"

The man's wrist felt like it was going to break when she bent it like that, and he was so scared that he wet his pants.

The people around him sat a little further away from him.

"And you."

Gu Qingyuan had no intention of letting those people go.

"I can save you, or I can choose not to. Your life or death depends on my decision."

"A woman like you deserves to be unwanted!"

Gu Qingyuan sneered. It seemed that they would not cry until they saw the coffin.

She casually drew her sword and held it against the throat of the frightened man.

"You look down on women so much, but it was us women who rescued you and treated you."

"Don't use your male chauvinism to hold me hostage. I won't fall for it."
