Chapter 214: Chapter 214
Pei Shu’er hurriedly said, "Yinxing, Honghua, Mother, Elder Sister-in-law, please help me prepare the antidote."
The four of them had already stood up when Pei Shu’er called them and ran towards her.
Pei Shu’er took out the antidote one by one, then mixed them together, and the four were responsible for stirring.
Previously, she just wanted to know the formula, so the amount prepared was not much, and Pei Shu’er could complete it alone.
But now, with antidote for two hundred people, if no one helps, it would be very difficult to prepare.
Just preparing the antidote had already taken two minutes.
Tiny beads of sweat glistened on Pei Shu’er’s delicate nose, quite different from her usual appearance.
However, her current look made her seem more lively and charming.
Pei Shu’er then spoke to the other people in the Deserted Mountain.
"May I ask you to help me feed the antidote to those poisoned? If anyone can’t be fed, call me anytime."
The people of the Deserted Mountain all responded in unison.
Even though there were fewer than a hundred people in the Deserted Mountain, they all condensed their strength and obeyed Pei Shu’er.
General Zhao’s eyes trembled, realizing that a model of a military unit had already formed.
Don’t underestimate Pei Shu’er as merely a woman.
But she subdued the Deserted Mountain as a woman and had to give far more than a man would.
If such a person really died, it would be a loss for their Gulan Border.
However, he couldn’t easily change what he had said; those in power most fear changing decrees often.
Some people had already lost consciousness due to the poison, only their bodies convulsing instinctively.
Pei Shu’er then went over herself to feed those who were difficult to feed.
If necessary, she would take out the syringe for gastric tube injection.
Afterward, Pei Shu’er ran to the other injured once more.
The people of the Deserted Mountain cooperated well with Pei Shu’er.
Even if they couldn’t feed them, upon seeing those injured convulsing, they still supported the poisoned ones.
Fearing that these people might harm their Young Madam.
Clearly, their Young Madam was as strong as an ox and quite skilled in fighting.
As the incense stick burned out, all the poisoned had been given medicine and were detoxified.
The crowd was bewildered, looking at one another; weren’t they supposed to die? How are they alive again?
Others were also astonished, looking at them.
General Zhao watched Pei Shu’er with some shock, yet he still said nothing.
He couldn’t change orders randomly, even if Pei Shu’er had already healed people.
But her dereliction of duty was still a fact.
Pei Shu’er bowed to the Fifteenth Prince; at this moment, beads of sweat still hung on her pale face from the exertion, and her cheeks were slightly red.
She was far more disheveled than her previously exquisite appearance.
Yet, she appeared more vibrant.
"Fifteenth Prince, I have saved the people. Now, it is time for you to fulfill your promise."
Yan Hengjin smiled slightly; clearly gentle, yet it gave a chill.
"General Zhao, I see you as an excellent supervisor, very courageous, to talk to a prince like that."
He had said he would speak well, but did not mention what the content of the praise would be.
Pei Shu’er also didn’t expect the Fifteenth Prince to be so tricky, not mentioning a word of letting General Zhao spare her.
"Yes, indeed, since the Fifteenth Prince has pleaded for you, consider it as compensating for your deeds this time."
"If anything happens next, don’t blame me for being impolite."
The Fifteenth Prince was stunned; was General Zhao deaf, not registering his hint?
This boldness to confront a prince, yet he does not punish this insubordination.
Moreover, when did he plead for Pei Shu’er?
He turned to look at General Zhao, finding satisfaction on the man’s face, and admiration when looking at Pei Shu’er.
He let out a cold laugh; well, Zhao Qingyun was only using his words as an excuse. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ noveⅼfire.net
But stepping down seemed too forced.
The people of the Deserted Mountain knelt with Pei Shu’er.
"Thank you, General Zhao, for your generosity. Thank you, Fifteenth Prince, for pleading for the Young Madam."
Yan Hengjin’s mouth twitched, his face turning ashen, waving his sleeve heavily.
Due to the excitement, he couldn’t hold back a cough, coughing up a little bit of blood.
Doctor Liu gritted his teeth unwillingly.
"Just let Pei Shu’er go ?"
Yan Hengjin glared at Doctor Liu.
"Zhao Qingyun doesn’t mind, if I do, I would appear intolerant."
He was a prince; he valued reputation most; if too forceful, his reputation could be ruined.
This Pei Shu’er, so arrogant, provoked him.
If he found an opportunity, he would surely not let her off easily.
In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities.
Doctor Liu was about to leave with the Fifteenth Prince when Pei Shu’er’s soft voice came from behind.
"Hold on, Doctor Liu, have you forgotten, you have twenty military canes to accept as well."
With this, the scene went silent, soldiers and convicts exchanged glances.
The Fifteenth Prince had already left with his people, and Pei Shu’er was still not letting go of Doctor Liu?
Should it be said Pei Shu’er lacks sight or is it her fearless defiance of power?
Doctor Liu gritted his teeth, looking at Pei Shu’er with hatred.
"I was to accept punishment in the military camp."
Pei Shu’er softly uttered "Oh," as if puzzled.
"General Zhao is here, yet Doctor Liu goes to the camp for punishment, isn’t that going the long way round?"
General Zhao also said, "Punish here, then."
The crowd watched Pei Shu’er bow to General Zhao.
"General Zhao, this Doctor Liu poisoned convicts, naturally, let the convicts vent their anger. Let the camp hit Doctor Liu ten times, then let the convicts hit him ten canes."
With this, General Zhao nodded too.
Doctor Liu was less afraid; those in the military camp surely wouldn’t dare really hit him.
As for the convicts, even less daring.
The soldiers struck Doctor Liu ten canes.
Though Doctor Liu cried miserably, with loud cries, his expression barely changed.
Pei Shu’er knew the cane punishment was mostly for show.
For the next ten canes, Doctor Liu pointed to one timid-looking person.
"I see your wounds are quite severe, let you come; this time, losing the medicine pouch is also my fault, I naturally will take responsibility."
The applause suddenly sounded here, Pei Shu’er nodded repeatedly.
"Doctor Liu is righteous, indeed a noble spirit willing to accept responsibility."
Doctor Liu was stunned by Pei Shu’er’s praise.
Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "But they have just detoxified, not suitable to exert force now; as the supervisor, I would hit these ten canes on their behalf."
Doctor Liu frowned; Pei Shu’er had indeed shown her skill before him.
Though her movements were too fast to see clearly, he knew Pei Shu’er’s martial power was not weak.
He was about to argue when the Fifteenth Prince spoke softly.
"Let her; I see this woman is slender, not as strong as the person you just pointed at."
Doctor Liu didn’t want Pei Shu’er to do it, but Pei Shu’er spoke again.
"What, Doctor Liu, are you afraid of me, a mere woman?"
