After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1277 Did you also catch the virus from the roadside?

"..." Madam Sun seemed to recall the scene where her elder sister rode her horse, leading female guards, breaking through other people's doors, rescuing those bullied women, and helping them seek justice.

How carefree we were back then!

After the deaths of Prince Ye and other supporters of Emperor Taizong and Empress Wenci, and after the suppression of the Emperor and Empress's tolerance of heroines, she never saw such an elder sister again.

I never imagined that I would see my spirited older sister again as I'm about to be buried. It was all worth it!

“Alright, sister, go ahead without worry. Leave everything concerning women in the city to me!” Madam Sun replied, a passionate energy surging between the two old women.

Tsk, Lord Yan was quite speechless. You two keep making a fuss. Once you lose face, all your relatives and families will have to lose face with you!

"Madam Guan, I request permission to accompany you to fight alongside the female warriors!" Si Pei was very excited, feeling that he had to go with one of them: "The deeds of the female warriors need to be recorded by scholars, and as a student of the sages, it is my duty to do so!"

If Lu Qian were still here, he would definitely be furious again.

“Student Si Pei, we understand your sincere desire to serve the country, but it is dangerous outside the city. As a mere scholar, you will likely encounter various difficulties once you leave the city.” Lord Yan reminded him, “The most obvious difficulty is that you will be facing corpses with your own eyes, and you may even have to sleep and eat near piles of corpses.”

Don't try to be brave, you pampered kids. Do you think you can handle it? Even if the enemy doesn't kill you, you'll be scared to death by the battle.

Upon hearing this, Si Pei burst into tears, saying through her tears, "Is this what those who fight the enemy outside the city are meant to face? Then I must go! If the brave women aren't afraid, I'm even less afraid!"

The words were firm and resolute, the intention to leave was unwavering, but...

Shi Songxin said, "Classmate Si, you are going to record the deeds of the female warriors in killing the enemy. What if people criticize you for violating the proper separation of men and women?"

Si Pei was shocked and looked at Shi Songxin with the same eyes she had for Lu Qian: "Have you caught Lu Qian's influence too?!"

Shi Songxin hurriedly said, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone. I don't look down on the female warrior, nor do I slander her. It's just that this is how the world is, and I have to remind you so that you won't regret your decision to help the female warrior with your notes in the future."

"Indeed, Brother Pei, you need to think this through," Si Feng reminded him, indicating that he shouldn't act impulsively, as impulsiveness could easily lead to losses.

Si Pei looked at him, then at Shi Songxin, and replied, "If everyone in the world is so unable to distinguish right from wrong, and only focuses on men and women to spread rumors, then is there any need to save such people?"

"I believe that people in the world still deserve to be saved, so I want to record the heroic deeds of these women and tell the world about their achievements!"

"Hehe, Madam Guan, please take this junior with you. I'll write my will now, taking full responsibility for my life and death. My family is not allowed to blame anyone. If I die in battle, please remember to send my family a pension. Thank you!"

Si Pei took out paper and pen and began writing his will, ignoring the pleas and attempts of the Si family servants to persuade or stop him.

"The most precious people in the world are the young." For the first time, Madam Guan looked at Si Pei with the same eyes she used when she looked at Qin Xiaogu and Qin Xiaomai: "You young masters and students from aristocratic families are quite good."

Powerful and influential families use their power to plunder the interests of the people, making them mortal enemies of many. However, it must be admitted that among the scions of these families who have grown up on the backs of power, there are also precious individuals like Si Pei and Ying Zilin.

"Grandmother!" A carriage drove into the Wu Garden. Qin Xiaogu and Jiang Xiaozhu lifted the curtain. It was Qin Xiaogu who came to see her off, carrying Da Bao'er, after learning of Madam Guan's decision.

"Hey! Didn't I tell you to take good care of yourselves? Why are you out here again? It's not like I'm not coming back!" Old Madam Guan complained, but she was actually very happy.

Da Bao'er was disturbed by their loud talking and, quite appropriately, let out two wails. Aunt Qin lifted him up and soothed him, and the little guy stopped wailing, closed his eyes, snuggled in his swaddling clothes, and began a new round of sleep.

"Haha, good, good, good, great-grandson of your great-grandmother, your great-grandmother heard you. Your great-grandmother will come back with your cousin, don't worry!" Old Madam Guan really loved Da Bao'er very much.

But after getting used to the volume, Da Bao'er continued to doze off and didn't respond to her anymore.

Aunt Qin answered for him: "Yes, Da Bao'er is waiting for Grandpa and Cousin to come back!"

Qin Xiaogu and Jiang Xiaozhu got out of the car and bowed towards Madam Guan, saying, "Thank you, Ancestor Guan, for protecting my sister!"

In an alleyway outside the main gate of Wuyuan Garden, the families of Qin Jiang and Xu Qiao also came out upon hearing the news, stood inside the barricade, and bowed in this direction.

"Thank you very much, Madam Guan!"

"Grandma Guan, did Xiaomi really make a contribution? Has the military achievement been reported? The enemy has been driven back? Have we won? Can we go home now that we don't have to fight anymore?!" Granny Qin asked at the top of her lungs, then complained, "We don't have a high fever, why can't we go and contact the Prince of Ye? We are his elders."

Even after Shu Jie'er's husband became the Prince of Ye, she, as an elder, has yet to have a chance to put on airs and make the Prince of Ye bow to her!

Qin Laoliu glanced at her, shrank his shoulders and said, "I advise you not to cause trouble, or you'll get your mouth covered by Yingjie and Mei again."

Sure enough, Yingjie and the other two were already glancing at her sideways, raising their hands to cover her mouth and stop her from talking anymore.

“You three unfilial sons, seeing that your old mother is too old and can't take care of you anymore, you bully your old mother, is that it? Believe me or not, I…”

"Report!" A loud announcement rang out, and another group of messengers rushed to the gate of Wu Garden. Upon seeing the clerk dressed in the prince's robes, they knew he was the Prince of Ye and reported directly, "Reporting to the Prince of Ye, after Commander Fu killed the enemy soldiers, he found three boxes. According to the military doctor, they contain moldy and hairy fungi!"

"After being dissolved in water and fed to rabbits, all three rabbits developed persistent diarrhea. According to the military doctor, the contents of the three boxes were likely poison that the enemy intended to release into the water source!"

"General Chu requests that the King of Ye coordinate with all parties within the city to protect and survey the water sources to prevent mass water poisoning within the city!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Qin immediately covered her mouth and dared not utter another word.

Upon hearing this, Prince Ye, Qi Tianshi, Lord Yan, and others hurriedly asked, "Did the rabbits that hadn't drunk the moldy water, but were only kept with the infected rabbits, get infected? Whether infection can occur when they are kept in the same place is crucial. Please, military doctors, find out this as soon as possible!"

General Chu and the military doctors naturally knew that the key was whether it was contagious, but: "Testing whether this fungal virus is contagious will take time. The military doctors are already doing it and are currently waiting for the results."

"Okay, do it as soon as possible!"

"Bring meat and rice, and let the messenger rest well and have a hot meal." The clerk Guan gave the order, and soon servants brought out fresh food in the Wu Garden.

Old Xun has already written a method for dealing with the mold and mildew in the city's water sources: "Prince Ye, prepare the medicine according to the prescription, boil some of it into juice and pour it into the well water, and dry the rest directly, then light it and hang it in the well to burn."

"The principle behind this is that well walls are damp and prone to mold growth. Fumigating the well walls with medicinal herbs can kill the mold."

"Lord Yan, do as Master Xun said!" Clerk Guan took the several prescriptions copied by the students who were sitting on the ground. After keeping one prescription, he handed the rest to Lord Yan and said to the students, "Continue copying."
