Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

"Princess, how can smallpox be completely solved? Don't treat us as fools." A voice shouted from nowhere.

Ziwei glanced in the direction of the voice, then pointed toward the azure sky and said mysteriously, "God saw the innocent people suffering from smallpox, so he provided a solution to this problem. If you don't believe me, just look at that tree."

She pointed at the bare tree on the side of the road. Compared with the other trees with lush branches and leaves, this tree was on the verge of death and looked like it was only breathing its last breath.

"This tree will flourish in a matter of moments. This is God's blessing to everyone in advance. Now that we are free from the threat of smallpox, our lives will surely prosper."

"Princess, your words are beautiful. This tree is dying, how can it suddenly become lush and flourishing? If you can really do it, then we will believe you."

——"Yes, we have to see it with our own eyes. We can't cheat."

Ziwei put her index finger to her lips as a gesture of silence and said softly, "Everyone, look over there. A miracle will happen soon!"

A huge amount of wood spiritual energy flowed from her hands to the dying tree. Seeing this, Fukangan hurriedly mobilized the wood spiritual energy in his body and sent it to the tree.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the dead tree actually recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally withered and yellow branches gradually turned green, and the dry bark also showed new vitality, growing many tender green branches and dense leaves. The tree was no less vigorous than the big tree next to it.

The people present stared with wide eyes, looking at the scene in disbelief. Some people even couldn't help rubbing their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.

Is this really that dead tree? The people couldn't believe their eyes and kept talking. Some were amazed, some wept with gratitude, and some were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes. Even those who had just doubted Ziwei and Fukang'an were now shocked by the miracle before them. They knelt and kowtowed, thanking the heavens for this gift.

However, at this moment, spiritual energy seemed to surge uncontrollably toward the tree again, faster and faster, and in greater and greater quantities. This familiarity startled Ziwei, and she couldn't help but recall the time when she had previously treated Fu Kang'an's injuries, when the black stone within his body had similarly madly absorbed her spiritual energy, nearly draining it dry. Could this tree also be something more ordinary?

Ziwei frowned, trying to stop the loss of spiritual energy, but found she had no control. She felt a powerful suction force tightly binding her body, preventing her from moving. Her face gradually paled, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and a hint of fear and anxiety appeared in her eyes.

"What the hell is going on?" Ziwei muttered to herself, her heart filled with confusion and worry. She didn't know what secrets this tree held, or why it was so greedily absorbing spiritual energy. If she continued, she worried she'd be in danger again.

"Ziwei, my spiritual energy is constantly pouring into that tree. I can't stop it," Fukang'an whispered, his brow furrowed, his face pale as paper, his lips trembling slightly. Ziwei looked at him, her eyes filled with worry and anxiety. "Me too. I don't know what's wrong with the tree right now. My spiritual sense can't penetrate into it anymore." She held Fukang'an's hand tightly, trying to give him some strength and comfort.

Their eyes met, as if they could see through each other's eyes the fear and anxiety deep in their hearts. Their faces became paler and paler, and their breathing became rapid and difficult.

Fu Kang'an smiled bitterly and said softly, "Chen'er, I'm really unwilling to marry you home yet. But if something unexpected really happens today, it wouldn't be bad to be with you in another world."

Hearing this, Ziwei rolled her eyes at him helplessly, cursing inwardly, "It's already this late, and this man is still thinking about this!" She gritted her teeth and tried to stay calm, "Fukang'an, I've never been in love before. If you want to marry me, wait ten or eight years. Also, don't call me so affectionately, I don't know you well."

Fu Kang'an chuckled softly, a hint of tenderness and determination flashing in his eyes. "No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you." He looked at Ziwei greedily, his voice low and magnetic, "As long as you are willing, I will always be by your side, forever."

At this moment, Ziwei felt Fukang'an's deep love and commitment to her. Her heartstrings were touched, and a blush crept across her face. However, faced with the current predicament, she could only temporarily put these feelings aside and focus on dealing with the current crisis.

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and once again attempted to use her spiritual sense to explore the tree's interior. Although she still couldn't break through the mysterious barrier, she didn't give up hope. She believed that as long as she persisted, she would find a solution.

At this time, the people exclaimed, "What is that?"

The two of them quickly turned their heads and saw an extremely huge green cocoon appearing on the big tree, and it was gradually becoming transparent.

In the blink of an eye, a naked boy with a blade of grass growing on his head appeared before everyone. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened and he looked around curiously.

Ziwei's eyes widened, and she secretly exclaimed inwardly: This big tree has actually become a spirit! Can it do this just by relying on her and Fu Kang'an's spiritual energy? Doesn't the novel say that it is extremely difficult for plants to become spirits?

The boy looked about two or three years old, with fair skin and a very pleasant appearance. He carefully observed everything around him, his eyes falling on the clothes on the people. Then he looked down at his own naked body, and suddenly felt shy. He quickly hid back inside the tree trunk. When he came out again, he was wearing a suit of clothes woven from green leaves.

Before Ziwei had time to think more, she heard the boy shouting towards her: "Dad, Mom." Then, he actually flew directly over and rushed straight into Fukangan's arms, wrapped his arms tightly around his neck, turned his head and smiled sweetly at Ziwei, shouting: "Mom."

Ziwei staggered and almost fell down with her weak body. When did she give birth to her eldest son?

Fu Kang'an quickly stretched out his arm to support her, then looked at the boy and said coldly, "Little devil, who are you calling your father and mother? Get down quickly."
