The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

Ying Ji was awakened by the deafening shouts outside the military camp.

Bai Changchuan was wearing a black undershirt, and because he moved quite a bit when he got up, his chest was completely exposed.

The first thing she did upon waking was to bring out mouthwash, and Yingji skillfully cleaned herself.

Bai Changchuan was already serving him clothes, occasionally touching him as he dressed.

Ying Ji wasn't stupid; such an obvious seduction was quite interesting.

Looking at the swaying white chest before her, Ying Ji finished dressing, grabbed the man's waist with one hand, and pulled him forward: "Is Lord Bai trying to indulge in debauchery in broad daylight?"

Bai Changchuan pressed his body against Ying Ji, calculating the position and pushing her onto the bed.

He knelt on Ying Ji's waist, exuding irresistible allure.

Ying Ji's eyes darkened, and without any instruction, she pulled on Bai Changchuan's left arm, causing him to fall to the side.

Taking advantage of the man's unsteady center of gravity, she flipped over, grabbed his left hand, pressed it above his head, and leaned in to bite his lips.

I dared not exert myself; there was a military parade later, and I couldn't go out with a face full of teeth marks.

As they continued kissing, Ying Ji became dissatisfied with simple kisses and began to explore downwards along the open neckline.

Bai Changchuan hadn't released his pent-up desire in a long time, and he couldn't resist any provocation, letting out sweet, sticky panting breaths.

Ying Ji didn't know why she was so familiar with the sensitive spots of the man beneath her; she could feel his slight trembling wherever her hand touched.

The intention to take things a step further was suddenly overwhelmed by the powerful training slogans, which completely ruined the mood.

Seeing the man's eyes filled with affection, his lips rosy, and his face looking like he had been bullied terribly, she was actually in a great mood.

She got up and straightened her clothes, then lightly kissed the man's lips before leaving, rubbing them together with her thumb: "Be tidy up before you come out. It's best not to let anyone see you like this."

Bai Changchuan's body was aroused, but Ying Ji only cared about adding firewood, regardless of the size of the fire. She was satisfied and went out to continue inspecting the military parade.

The men were left in the camp to fend for themselves and have enough to eat and wear.

On the high platform, Ying Ji discussed the improvements needed with the general, and finally, they combined their ideas to select the order of the teams and add a military dance performance.

As a closing act, we shared joy with the people.

Before leaving, she glanced at Bai Changchuan. The man was still as gentle and considerate as ever, a stark contrast to his ruthless and cold-blooded demeanor towards the soldiers.

Bai Changchuan held Ying Ji in his arms in an empty space: "You must be tired these past two days. If there's anything I've done wrong, tell me. Now I'm your concubine, and I should put you at the center."

If you like Ruoshui Gongzi, why not take her as your concubine? Having someone follow you around without any title or status all day long will only lead to gossip.

In a few days, when the army returns, Xianyang will be a melting pot of people, with many foreign spies. Since Young Master Ruoshui has no power or influence, he will be easily targeted by assassins.

It would be better to stay in the palace, where people can protect you and keep you safe from harm.

Ying Ji looked at Bai Changchuan and somewhat agreed with his idea. So, when she went to pick up Ruoshui and brought her back to the manor, she said that she wanted to take him as a concubine. As expected, she was rejected again.

Now, Ying Ji has accepted Bai Changchuan's gentleness and Ruoshui's innocence and kindness.

Given her current power, having only three men by her side already shows she is extremely sentimental.

Ruoshui had already refused twice, which made her frown again.

You can see that Ruoshui's eyes are full of longing, and she seems to want to stay with her forever, which makes you feel a little soft-hearted.

[Fine, once he gets used to it, he'll realize the dangers around me, and then he won't refuse to stay in Yongning Palace.]

Seeing that Ying Ji no longer mentioned taking people in, Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Ying Ji's arm, and clung to her like a koala.

Seeing that the people really wanted to stay by her side, Ying Ji could only arrange for the Bad People to be closer together.

But just as I had this idea, an unexpected event occurred.

A woman holding a young child was crying and wailing in front of Ying Ji's carriage.

"Lord Danyang, please, save me! My son has contracted smallpox and is about to die."

Upon hearing this, the villagers who had just surrounded them quickly dispersed.

The soldiers who wanted to drive the mother and child away quickly retreated, covering their mouths and noses to protect Ying Ji.

Ying Ji had good hearing. Upon hearing this, she first frowned, then thought for a moment and retrieved information about smallpox from her memory.

Smallpox begins in winter and spring, is highly contagious, and has a very high mortality rate.

It can cause obvious red rashes all over the body, and blindness around the eyes. It starts as small red spots, which quickly develop into blisters. After the blisters rupture, ulcers will appear, and the neck will swell so much that it is impossible to swallow.

People will die within seven days.

Ying Ji could not ignore it, so she got out of the carriage and asked, "What is your name? Where do you live? If you have smallpox, why are you wandering the streets?"

The woman wept bitterly, "Lord Danyang, how could I have known it was smallpox? My son is so young. He only has a cough, but the doctor at the clinic said there's nothing he can do. I can only beg you."

Ying Ji stood in the protective circle, watching the woman cry, and ordered: "Seal off this place. Isolate everyone who has come into contact with the woman. Make sure the clinic is completely sealed off and take her away for treatment."

The old woman was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you Lord Danyang. I am from Didao in Hanzhong Prefecture, and my home is at the east end of Xiaoshanxi Village."

The family consists of five members. The eldest child passed away three years ago, and the husband has joined the army and has not yet returned home. The eldest, second, and third children have also joined the army. This is the youngest, who is 8 years old this year.

The old woman did not intentionally spread the disease; her husbands were all in the military camp, and her child had a fever last night, so she took him to the clinic for treatment.

But they said they couldn't save them. In the past few years, the men in my family haven't replied. I... I'm afraid they're all dead; they're my only remaining support."

The old woman's cries were heart-wrenching, every word a lament of blood.

Ying Ji was not moved. This person's background had not yet been investigated, and it would be unwise to go there in vain.

"I understand. If there is medicine to cure it, all expenses will be covered by the national treasury. You must stay here and not move around. If you infect others with the disease, even if your family is loyal and brave, you will not be able to escape punishment."

The old woman nodded frantically: "Okay, okay, I know. I'll stay where I am. I'll do anything you ask, as long as you can save my son."

The clinic staff arrived quickly, examined the person, and took them away for isolation.

Ying Ji rubbed her forehead, her head throbbing. If it really was smallpox, Xianyang would be in grave danger.

"Go and report this to the King of Qin, and arrange for the medical clinic to implement a danger warning."

The captain of the guard quickly acknowledged the order: "Yes, sir."

Ying Ji changed her route and went to the Imperial Academy to see if the medical experts had any suitable methods to cure smallpox.

Ruoshui was powerless to help, so she could only comfort her with a worried look and a soft voice: "Don't worry, everything will be alright."

Ying Ji grasped Rouyi's hand, pondering as she gently played with her fingers.

"It's not safe outside. You'd better stay in the manor and not wander around."

Ruoshui pouted. She had just promised him that she would carry it with her, but less than half a day had passed, and he was already leaving it in the mansion.

But Ying Ji was indeed acting in his best interest; as a princess of Qin, she had an obligation to resolve this matter.

But I was still unwilling to accept it.

Ruoshui even thought that all of this was too coincidental, all interconnected, and was meant to separate him and Yingji.

But he couldn't say that, or it would ruin his image, so he could only nod obediently with a conflicted expression.

Ying Ji was very pleased that the other party was so obedient, and granted the side courtyard to Ruoshui to live in.

The steward whom Zhang Han had trained in advance had already received the news. Upon seeing Ruoshui, he served her diligently, hoping to gain her favor.

Once Ruoshui was away from Yingji, her face became expressionless. Her heterochromatic eyes gazed indifferently at the courtyard, which contained many novel items, apparently prepared in advance.

He sat down in the tea room, dismissed everyone, and pondered his next plan.
