Chapter 1138 It's all for the children
She has been preparing for the battle against the monsters and has been practicing martial arts diligently.
Xiang Zheng held the herb that had caused her hallucinations in her hand, and spun it around in her hand a few times.
That familiar aroma wafted out again.
Xiang Zheng skillfully reached into the cup of tea that had already cooled down, dipped her hand in the cold water, and splashed it on her face.
After scattering his own, he even looked at His Majesty with a questioning gaze.
Liang Chongyue raised her hand, politely declining.
She doesn't need it.
She has antibodies; she's immune.
"But stuffing these herbs into the explosives isn't difficult. However, isn't it risky to throw them into the monster's cave? If the monsters retaliate and throw the explosives back, the soldiers will be in danger."
Liang Chongyue raised his hand and pointed at Xiang Zheng. Xiang Zheng looked at His Majesty's expression and felt that she was not too worried about saying something wrong.
After all, she was doing it for the safety of her soldiers.
"I like your thoughtfulness."
Liang Chongyue hadn't even considered this matter; her original plan wasn't to throw the explosives directly into the monster's lair.
She planned to take the system with her to Bray.
This step was omitted at the source.
"I already have a solution to this matter. I want you to stuff all these hallucinogenic herbs into the explosives according to the proportions I have designed. If the amount of hallucinogenic herbs in these explosives is incorrect on the day of the battle with the monster, I will hold you responsible."
Xiang Zheng immediately raised her hand and grasped His Majesty's hand, nodding vigorously.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly not disappoint you in such a trivial matter."
Liang Chongyue nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, the Imperial Hospital has prepared the hallucinogenic herbs, and I have also prepared the carriage for you. In a little while, Ping An will take you to haul away all the hallucinogenic herbs. Within seven days, I want all the explosives in the camp outside the capital to be stuffed with these hallucinogenic herbs."
As Liang Chongyue spoke, she took out a slip of paper from her sleeve, on which she wrote down the proportions she had obtained from her experiment.
"So after stuffing all these hallucinogenic herbs into the explosives, they were just left at the camp outside Beijing?"
Liang Chongyue waved his hand.
"Seven days from now, I will send people to haul away all the explosives. Remember, every single explosive must be stuffed with a sufficient amount of hallucinogens. If you run out of hallucinogens, come find me again."
His Majesty's tone was authoritative and left no room for argument, so Xiang Zheng quickly nodded in agreement.
When Xiang Zheng left the Hall of Mental Cultivation with the tasks assigned by His Majesty, her mind was filled with the explosives in the camps outside the capital.
Fortunately, it's not too cold right now, and there aren't any fires burning everywhere in the camp.
Seven days is indeed a tight schedule, but it's not impossible to finish.
"Lord Dingguo, everything is ready. I'll trouble you to come with me on this trip."
Xiang Zheng followed Ping An to the Imperial Hospital.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Medical Academy, I smelled the same scent of herbs that I had smelled in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Ping An has been coming here quite often these days; he's gotten used to it.
He took a soaked veil from the medicine jar handed to him by a palace maid and presented it to the Duke of Dingguo.
"They're brewing medicine pills inside. Wearing this mask will make the adults feel better."
Xiang Zheng took the mask handed to her by Eunuch Ping An and followed him into the Imperial Hospital.
As soon as I entered, I saw a royal physician being carefully carried out by other royal physicians.
I saw that Xiang Zheng's brows were furrowed.
"Lord Duke Dingguo, there is no need to panic. The medicine on this gentleman's veil is almost completely dried and has lost its protective effect. This is what he looks like after being drugged with hallucinogens."
Go to an open space, breathe some fresh air, and you'll feel better in a little while.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zheng realized that she had just witnessed the power of the hallucinogenic drug.
One can only imagine what kind of medicine was being brewed in the Imperial Medical Academy.
When Ping An saw the Duke of Dingguo, he covered his face with his veil even tighter.
He's gotten used to it. When he first came to help His Majesty oversee the brewing progress, he was much more secretive than the Duke of Dingguo.
"These are the hallucinogenic drugs that the Imperial Medical Academy prepared for the Duke of Dingguo. Please check and count them, Your Excellency."
This is the first time Xiang Zheng has seen this herb with hallucinogenic components.
He quickly pulled out a hallucinogenic herb from the sachet His Majesty had given him; there were herbs for a total of six carriages.
Xiang Zheng inspected each and every one of them.
There were so many herbs that His Majesty was very particular about the proportions he put into the explosives.
That proves that His Majesty must have conducted the most thorough possible experiments on those monsters.
Xiang Zheng suspected that these six carriages might just be enough to supply her explosives for her camp in the outskirts of Beijing, and there might only be a little bit left over.
This cannot be taken lightly; if it's too little, or if other herbs are mixed in...
It disrupted His Majesty's plans and caused unnecessary casualties among the soldiers.
She was appointed Duke of Dingguo this month, and it's very likely she'll have to resign next month to take responsibility.
He might not even be as good as Li Wen at that time.
At least Li Wen was devoted to his work, and when he retired, His Majesty promised him many honors.
If the title of Duke of Dingguo were to be lost to her, Xiang Zheng didn't even dare to imagine what kind of life her two children would lead in the palace.
Sheng'er is such an ambitious child, she can't let her daughter down.
Ping An saw that Lord Dingguo was examining the items one by one, very carefully.
After seeing the person off at the Meridian Gate, Ping An returned and reported the matter to His Majesty.
Liang Chongyue simply smiled when she heard this.
Having known Xiang Zheng for so many years, she knew exactly what Xiang Zheng was thinking.
"She cares about me, as well as the soldiers and people of Great Xia. She can never be too careful in obeying my orders."
Moreover, Xiang Sheng and Xiang Yu are still being raised in the Empress Dowager's palace.
How could Xiang Zheng not take it seriously? For the sake of their future, she had to put in 100% effort to accomplish everything she was asked to do.
The system has been trapped in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for the past few days.
Because it was raining outside, Sister Iris stood like a pillar, almost as tall as the one standing at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The system has simply been catching up on sleep these days.
Seeing how busy its host was, it could already imagine how hard it would be for it in a few days.
It is impossible for the host to control two small robots by himself.
No matter how powerful the host is, the monster's lair is full of uncertainties.
If two people can work together to do something perfect, the host won't try to be a hero.
Liang Chongyue listened to the light rain outside, and the constant snoring of the system inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
But Liang Chongyue has been quite calm these days and doesn't find it noisy at all.
The system slept for a whole day, and Liang Chongyue wouldn't let anyone wake it.
It just kept sleeping.
Liang Chongyue could see the system's panel and knew that it was accumulating energy.
It wasn't until Liang Chongyue had finished reviewing all the memorials that had accumulated over the past few days that he woke up the system to have dinner.
The system eats and then goes to sleep without wasting a moment.
