【Isn't this because you're here?】

Song Yunzhi said timidly, "If it really doesn't work out, we can just start over..."

The reason Song Yunzhi dared to be so honest was that she believed Qi Yitang wasn't really that malicious.

She had previously asked the system to request a change of the target in the strategy, and the request was approved the day before yesterday.

They actually agreed.

Compared to the villainous emperor's unchanging -100, Qi Yitang's initial favorability was 50, and later for some reason it increased a bit, eventually stabilizing at around 60.

When Song Yunzhi saw the data, she burst into tears of joy.

You should know that she had been in this world for several months and had been electrocuted countless times because of that bright red negative 100.

She unilaterally declared that the female supporting character was a kind little angel!

Song Yunzhi felt that in order to complete the mission, deception would only lead to a narrower path, so she chose to be honest.

Even if she were burned as a monster, she would accept it.

Anyway, once you travel through time, you'll either be burned to death or electrocuted, so the outcome is pretty much the same.

"Your Majesty, I am not a bad person, and I have no ill intentions towards you." Song Yunzhi clutched her sleeve. "I have come here this time to help you resolve the epidemic."

Before she time-traveled, Song Yunzhi had also experienced the pandemic.

It was a global pandemic that came on fiercely. Initially, there was no effective treatment, and the virus kept mutating.

Watching the daily rollout of confirmed cases and death toll on the news, she felt powerless and heartbroken.

After all, back then she was just an ordinary, socially awkward traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who couldn't offer much help, but things are different now.

She has a cheat code.

Previously, the mission progress was stagnant, and the system was like a decoration. Now that we have a different target, half of the main mission has been unlocked, and the system shop has also been opened.

Song Yunzhi rummaged through the contents for a while and found a universal antidote pill inside.

The system said that even diluted with water could cure dozens of people, and her current points could be exchanged for hundreds of pills, so Song Yunzhi immediately went to the palace.

Qi Yitang truly never expected that there could be someone in the world even more "naive" than her.

Fourth Brother often warned her not to trust anyone easily, but this person in front of her revealed such a big secret as "body possession" right away, and even dared to say that he could help her solve the epidemic.

"really?"

Qi Yitang sat up slightly. "What do you need me to do for you? Gold and silver? Money? Or a promotion?"

Since she was able to "possess another body and be reborn," she must have some special abilities.

But the epidemic was fierce, and the imperial physicians were overwhelmed. If she could treat thousands of people, one can imagine the effort she would have to put in.

Qi Yitang doesn't believe that a free lunch will fall from the sky.

Song Yunzhi waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I don't need these—"

Halfway through her sentence, she realized she didn't want to seem suspicious, so she said, "Your Majesty, I have a request. Could you... take me as your sworn sister?"

"Don't let anyone interfere with my marriage. I don't want to be forced to marry a stranger."

It was one thing for Liu Ruyan to be mentally unstable before, but now that she has recovered, the Marquis of Anyang and his wife have begun planning to arrange a marriage for her.

Even though she is a widow, she can't be a widow forever. They are getting old, and if they pass away one day, their daughter won't be left destitute for the rest of her life.

But this was definitely not what Song Yunzhi wanted; arranged marriages in ancient times were too terrible.

All she wanted to do was complete her mission, resurrect her grandmother, and then leave.

If you can recognize the female supporting character as your older sister, you'll have more opportunities to interact with her, and her favorability towards you might just fill up quickly.

It's always better for sisters to have a good relationship than to try to get close to each other out of nowhere, be timid and hesitant, and be mistaken for a lesbian.

"Sister-in-law?"

If Song Yunzhi said she had no other desires, Qi Yitang would definitely suspect that she had ulterior motives.

Now that she has clearly stated her demands, Qi Yitang feels that it is much more reasonable.

Although she is now the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anyang, neither of her parents are her biological parents, and she is essentially alone and helpless. It is only natural for her to want to find a powerful backer to rely on.

"Okay, I promise you."

[Ding! Affection level +5.]

[Affection +10! Congratulations, host! Your target's affection level has surpassed 70. Current points balance: 75780.]

The system was stunned the moment the automatic voice announcement started. "Wow, this actually works?"

Affection level is 75!

Song Yunzhi was so excited she almost jumped for joy. She knew that the female supporting character wasn't as vicious as she was portrayed in the novel.

Qi Yitang saw this undisguised joy on her face: "..." Fine, now she believed that there were people even more naive than her.

Qi Yitang asked, "What's your name?"

Song Yunzhi paused for a moment, then said, "My name is... Song Yunzhi."

"Yunzhi, you're my little sister from now on. I'll protect you." Qi Yitang got back to the main topic, "Did you bring the antidote?"

Song Yunzhi shook her head. "There's no prescription, only this."

It was a dark, round pill, no bigger than a longan when held between the fingers, with a faint luster, like a magic pill from a folk tale.

Will this work?

……

Since she chose to believe her, Qi Yitang still took Song Yunzhi's antidote pills to Xie Ling.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Study was solemn.

Many days have passed since the epidemic, and the imperial physicians in Xushui County have painstakingly researched and developed several prescriptions.

But either it has no effect or the medicine is not effective enough; patients with mild symptoms have to drink ten large bowls of it to see any effect.

What about those with severe cases?

Putting aside the fact that if the whole thing were forced down the throat, people would turn into water buffaloes, and some seriously ill patients might not even survive until the medicine was ready.

Moreover, if one person needs such a large amount of medicine, how can so many patients withstand such consumption?

To make matters worse, two of the imperial physicians have already fallen ill.

As a result, the ministers argued fiercely in the imperial study. Some said that the Imperial Physician Kou and Physician Fang were the best doctors in the Imperial Medical Academy and should be sent to replace some less skilled doctors.

However, these two are the personal attendants of the Empress, and cannot be touched lightly.

Others suggested that they should invite Zhang Yuanpan, who has already returned to his hometown to retire, back, or offer a high reward to the legendary doctor in the private sector.

Anyway, the noise was so loud that it gave Xie Ling a headache.

Qi Yitang arrived at that moment, announcing, "Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!"

Xie Ling felt a sense of relief. The ministers were about to continue speaking when he raised his hand and said, "Go down first."

After Bing dismissed the others, Xie Ling went up to him and asked, "You're carrying a heavy load, why did you come?"

Qi Yitang presented the pill to him urgently, "Yanzhi, I have a way to cure the plague! This is a miraculous medicine sent by Yunzhi."

Yunzhi? Who?

Qi Yitang explained in a low voice, "It's the medicine that Liu Ruyan gave me specifically."

Xie Ling frowned and ordered someone to bring Kou Zhong and Fang An to him.

The two arrived quickly, bowed, and then took the pill to examine it carefully.

First, I observed its color, then smelled its aroma, and finally took a small amount of each and put it in my mouth to taste.

Qi Yitang asked, "How is it? Can it be cured?"

The two looked at each other, and Kou Zhong said carefully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the ingredients in this pill are extremely exquisite. I can probably identify about 30 to 40% of the medicinal materials inside, but the rest are... I have never seen anything like them before."

Physician Fang nodded in agreement.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, where did this pill come from? Is there a prescription?"

Qi Yitang said, "I can't say where it came from. I don't have a prescription, I only have this."

"This..." Kou Zhong hesitated, "Without a prescription, I dare not make a judgment on the efficacy of the medicine, but the gypsum, rhinoceros horn, coptis, and rehmannia are all the right ingredients for the symptoms, so the direction is correct... I can be about 50 or 60% sure of success."

The most practical approach is to find a patient to test the drug on and see how it works.

Xie Ling pondered for a moment, then said, "I understand, you can go now."

He was going to meet this "Song Yunzhi." Tangtang was naive and couldn't be fooled into becoming her target.
