The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

At this moment, an unprecedented sense of urgency surged in my heart, and I deeply realized that I am no longer the same as before. I am the support and shelter of two innocent children.

Even if I could rely on some wit and luck to protect myself and remain safe from this raging epidemic, it is hard to predict whether fate will also favor my two young children.

Princess Zhiqiu was still an infant, and the Fourth Prince was still a child. They knew nothing about the endless dangers and illnesses in this world and were completely defenseless.

Thinking back to what happened to Shen Meizhuang in the past, how she was such an intelligent and resilient person, yet she couldn't escape the tragedy of being harmed by villains and unfortunately contracting an epidemic, my heart felt like it was being hit by a heavy hammer, and the pain was unbearable.

I must never let the same tragedy happen to my children again. I must pull myself together and use all my wisdom and strength to build an indestructible barrier for them.

In the Yanxi Palace, apart from my two treasures who need my protection day and night, there is only Xia Dongchun in the East Wing Hall.

In this extraordinary period when people are in panic and the epidemic is raging, I understand even more that caution and vigilance are indispensable.

I whispered:

"Baoque, gather everyone in the Yanxi Palace."

Baoque acted quickly, and soon the Yanx Palace was bustling with activity. The palace servants ran around to tell each other the news, conveying it to everyone.

Not long after, Xia Dongchun, Princess Zhiqiu and the Fourth Prince arrived together, followed by all the palace servants of the Yanx Palace. Everyone gathered together and the atmosphere seemed a little tense.

I stood in front of everyone and said solemnly:

"The epidemic has been raging recently, and the situation is very serious. For everyone's safety, I hope that everyone in the Yanxi Palace will strictly abide by the following regulations. First of all, except for the imperial physician, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Yanxi Palace. We must minimize contact with the outside world to reduce the risk of infection."

Xia Dongchun heard this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his determination:

"Thank you, Concubine An, for your thoughtful consideration. We will strictly abide by your instructions and will never cause any trouble in the Yanxi Palace."

I nodded slightly, and glanced at everyone gently:

"Everyone, rest assured. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat this epidemic. I will also have people prepare some anti-epidemic herbs and supplies and distribute them to everyone. I hope that we can work together to protect the peace of the Yanxi Palace."

After saying that, I turned around and signaled Baoque to help me back to the main hall to rest.

The moment I stepped onto the corridor, I vaguely heard Xiao Tao whisper behind me:

"Your Majesty is becoming more and more like a great lady. She handles things in an orderly manner, which makes people feel at ease."

......

I lay in bed, thinking for a long time, my eyes looking deep and firm in the dim candlelight.

I know that as long as I protect Princess Zhiqiu and the Fourth Prince, I am not too worried about anything else.

After all, everything that happened in the previous life was still vivid in everyone's mind. Everyone, including Shen Meizhuang, survived the epidemic safely.

I recall the situation at that time: Wen Shichu, relying on his medical skills, developed a prescription to treat the plague. However, this prescription was stolen by Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen.

Later, it was Zhen Huan who exposed their evil deeds and used this opportunity to promote Wen Shichu to the head of the Imperial Hospital.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown slightly, and an idea came to my mind.

If Zhen Huan is the one who promotes her own people, it would be better for me to promote my own people.

"Xiao Tao, come here."

"I'm here again, my lady."

"Please ask the oleander elf what the recipe for curing the epidemic is."

"Okay, Madam. Xiaotao will go get some paper and pen to write this down for you."

......

As usual, the imperial physician Wei Lin checked the pulse of everyone in the Yanxi Palace.

He bowed to me and said respectfully:

"Empress An is in good health, and no one in the Yanxi Palace has been infected by the epidemic. This is truly a good omen."

I gently raised my hand, motioning him to stand up, with a scrutinizing look in my eyes:

"Master Wei is a highly skilled doctor, and I have no doubt about that. However, the palace is plagued by an epidemic, and everyone is in a state of panic. I see that Master Wei looks happy, and it seems like good things are about to happen."

When Wei Lin heard this, his eyes flashed slightly. He was obviously a smart man and immediately understood the hidden meaning in my words.

He bowed slightly and said humbly:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am only an imperial physician. How can I possibly have any good things to say? Please explain clearly, Your Majesty."

I smiled slightly, with a hint of meaning in my tone:

"Master Wei, there's no need to be so modest. I've heard that anyone in the Imperial Hospital who can develop a remedy for the epidemic will instantly become the head of the hospital, admired by everyone. Master Wei is a skilled doctor; if he can develop this remedy, his future will be limitless."

When Wei Lin heard this, his face did not show much joy, but rather looked a little solemn. He sighed slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, you may not know that developing a prescription to treat an epidemic is no easy task. It requires countless trials and verifications. Moreover, even if the invention is successful, someone must recommend it. Otherwise, even if you are credited, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the palace. As the saying goes, a general's success is built on the sacrifices of thousands of soldiers. Your Majesty must also be aware of the difficulties involved."

I nodded slightly, understanding his concerns. I walked slowly to him and whispered:

"Don't worry, Lord Wei. I will lend you a helping hand."

Wei Lin's eyes flashed with gratitude when he heard this. He bowed again, his voice firm:

"Thank you for your cultivation, Your Majesty. I will do my best to live up to your high expectations. However, the road to research and development is long and arduous, so I hope you will be patient."

I slowly pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper from my sleeve. It was the recipe that Xiaotao had just quietly slipped to me. It was said that this was a secret recipe she got from somewhere. Although I had some doubts in my heart, I was willing to give Wei Lin a chance to refer to it.

I gently handed the recipe to Wei Lin, and he took it carefully with both hands, as if it were a priceless treasure.

Unfolding the paper, his eyes quickly scanned every line of words, and a look of joy that was difficult to conceal gradually appeared on his face.

However, curiosity also followed, and he looked up at me with a question in his eyes:

"My Lady, this is...?"

I smiled slightly, with a calm and confident tone:

"This is a prescription I recently wrote after consulting numerous medical books and combining my own ideas. It is only for your reference. Do not accept it completely."

When Wei Lin heard this, the surprise in his eyes became even greater. He praised sincerely:

"Your Majesty is extremely intelligent. This prescription is clearly organized and the medication is precise. It doesn't look like something an amateur could have written! I truly admire you."

I gently waved my hand, signaling him not to exaggerate:

"Whether you're an expert or not is just a name; what matters is whether this prescription can truly save lives. You must use your medical skills and wisdom to carefully assess its effectiveness. If you can truly achieve something, I will petition the Emperor on your behalf to ensure your success."
