Report to the Empress and the Eldest Princess: They're using the system to poach your men.

Cen Yan was in a daze after she opened her eyes in the carriage.

The little girls and old women around her called her Miss. Later, they encountered a group of soldiers in armor. The leader called her by her name, "Cen Luoxing" instead of "Cen Yan".

When she heard Shen Sangwan address her, she finally felt a little comforted.

Cen Yan, who is usually calm and collected in the face of adversity, experienced two life-or-death situations in quick succession after arriving in this world. Feeling a bit scared, she instinctively snuggled into the arms of someone she knew.

"Sang Wan, what exactly happened? We weren't in a car accident, so how did we end up in this chaotic place? Do you know that when I first woke up, I thought you were playing a prank on me again? I almost died twice before I realized that it was all real."

"I can't explain too much to you right now, but I need to borrow your identity for a while."

"My identity?"

Do you have any memories of this body?

Cen Yan shook her head, she had no memory of it. Since waking up, she had been confused about the people and things around her, and so far she probably hadn't said more than ten sentences.

Shen Sangwan solemnly pressed down on the other person's shoulder, her eyes firm and her tone urgent.

“Cen Yan, you are now Cen Luoxing, the eldest daughter of the Cen family of the Right Prime Minister. You and the current Princess, who is me, have been close friends since childhood. Now that the Third Prince, the Wing Prince, has started a rebellion, I need to go to the palace to save the Emperor.”

Later I will produce some items in your name. If anyone asks about them in the future, just say you were too frightened to remember.

You can also use this wording to refuse to communicate with others now. I'll explain in detail after I've resolved this matter.

Cen Yan was quick to accept things, and since the other person was her best friend, she nodded seriously.

Where are your followers now?

Cen Yan shook her head. She had been captured by Qu Yan alone, and she had no idea whether the people who had served the original owner were alive or dead.

"Mo Yun, I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip and personally escort Miss Cen to the Chi Garden on the outskirts of the capital. She's quite frightened, so please take good care of her."

"I humble my position and take orders."

Mo Yun had thought the carriage was unnecessary, but unexpectedly, his lord encountered Miss Cen.

They carefully helped the person onto the carriage, then lifted the reins and drove away.

Shen Sangwan felt that she would need to find two more female confidantes in the future, as it didn't seem right to always trouble Mo Yun alone.

"Mo Feng will stay behind to clean up the battlefield. Mo Ran will come with me with fifty people and two carts."

"System! System!"

【Master, what is it?】

Can items be retrieved in bulk?

Yes, but the maximum quantity for each item is different. You can click on the desired item, and the maximum quantity you can take each time will be displayed in the lower right corner.

Fifty-one times? Fifty it is, it's much better than taking them one by one.

Guided by the system, Shen Sangwan found an abandoned charcoal kiln.

"Wait here."

He found the entrance and went inside alone.

The interior was very spacious, and because it had not been used for a long time and no one had reinforced it, the surrounding loess walls did not look very sturdy.

We need to finish this quickly.

Shen Sangwan repeated the clicking action, and the originally empty ground was instantly filled with two kinds of medicine packets.

Whether the system knew her thoughts or not, the oil paper on the medicine packet looked very old, which saved Shen Sangwan the time of figuring out how to make it look old.

A total of five thousand packets of itching powder and two thousand packets of antidote were ordered, which exhausted Shen Sangwan's wrists.

The more the finger clicked "confirm," the greater the resentment grew. If that panel were a physical object, it would probably have been pierced with a hole by now.

"Mo Ran, come here."

Shen Sangwan took two packets of medicinal powder out of the charcoal kiln and called Mo Ran to her side.

One of the packets of itching powder was sprinkled on Mo Ran's body, and in less than five breaths...

The other person's exposed skin began to turn red, and dense red spots appeared.

"My lord, it itches so much—"

Mo Ran endured the itch, not daring to scratch, and could only slightly twist his body, trying to relieve the waves of itching by rubbing against the armor.

"Just one bite is enough."

Shen Sangwan handed another packet of medicine powder to Mo Ran. There was no water here, which made it difficult for him, as he could only swallow it raw.

"How does it feel?"

"My lord, the itching is gone."

"The place inside isn't very big. Let a few people go in first and move the things out, then transport them all away. They'll be very useful in tomorrow's battle."

"Remember, do not mix up the two types of medicine packets; transport them separately."

Mo Ran nodded slightly, raised his hand and pointed to two soldiers, who went in one after the other and then passed the items out in turn.

"How did our lord know that there was itching powder in that abandoned kiln?"

Do you remember the battle we fought to capture Beiwulan City two years ago?

"Of course I remember. The other side was really cunning, releasing poisonous insects and snakes. Fortunately, my lord reacted quickly, otherwise my subordinate and Mo Feng would have been killed there!"

"It was around that time that I asked Miss Cen in Zhongdu to help me collect itching powder from various medical clinics to fight those poisonous insects."

Unfortunately, the other side eventually surrendered, and these things were left unused, thought to be useless forever. But now they've found an even greater purpose.

Shen Sangwan felt that life was really hard. She had to suppress her temper and act calm all the time, and she also had to make up all sorts of lies. It wasn't easy for her!

"Pfft—vomit."

Accidents always happen unexpectedly. Shen Sangwan herself didn't know why she suddenly vomited blood, and a large amount at that.

His legs felt as if all the strength had been drained, and he knelt down.

"My lord—!"

Mo Ran gasped in fright and rushed forward to support the person.

"Tongzi, what's wrong with me?"

[The main system has detected that you, Master, are lying, and therefore has imposed a minor punishment. This system has no authority to interfere.]

[Seriously, go to hell!]

"I should have died in the dense forest, at the bottom of a cliff. Does this damn system have a grudge against me? It's tormenting me like this! I'm speechless."

"My lord, this place is not far from the town on the outskirts of the capital. I will send someone to find a doctor right away."

"No need, I didn't..." Before she could finish speaking, she vomited another mouthful of blood, "Ugh—"

"I'll stop cursing, I'll stop cursing, okay?"

"My lord, are you... truly alright—?"

Mo Ran glanced at it suspiciously; he could clearly smell a strong stench of blood.

But they always obeyed Shen Sangwan's orders without question.

"It's alright, help me back so I can rejoin Mo Feng and the others."

God, send down a bolt of lightning and kill her!

Shen Sangwan focused most of her attention on Mo Ran. Fortunately, he was a strong and capable man who had been fighting in the army for many years. If it were one of the rich young masters in Zhongdu City, he would probably have been overwhelmed long ago.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Shen Sangwan felt her eyelids growing heavier and heavier, as if she were about to fall asleep.

"My lord? My lord?"

Shen Sangwan opened her eyes wide and forced herself to stay awake. Mo Feng had already led his men to bury the corpses of the chaotic army on the spot.

"Integrate the troops and make sure we reach the outskirts of Zhongdu City before tonight."

"The last general takes orders."

"System! System! I'm so sleepy and weak all over, what's wrong with me?"

My lord, you have lost too much blood!

〖 ？ ？ 〗

"I don't feel any pain at all, and you're telling me I've lost too much blood?"

[Master, the Vitality Pill can repair internal damage and also numb wounds.]

Don't tell me that sticky feeling on my back isn't sweat but blood...

【Bingo!】

Why didn't you say so sooner? Don't you know this is equivalent to having an epidural? One wrong move and someone could die.

Shen Sangwan inwardly groaned, wondering what kind of unreliable system she had been saddled with.

【Master, this... it was clearly you who didn't ask, and there are hemostatic medicines in the system; you can take them yourself.】

"I conjured up medicine out of thin air, and if they ask about it, I'll have to make up lies again, and then I'll be subject to random punishment once more. Do you want me to die even faster?"

The system intermittently crashed, then chose to play dead, no longer responding to Shen Sangwan's questions.

〖......〗

The armor she was wearing felt increasingly like a burden to Shen Sangwan; it felt so heavy that it made it hard for her to breathe.

"Ink-dyed... I'm afraid I'm too weak to ride it—"

Suddenly everything went black, and Shen Sangwan's entire body lurched backward, then she fell heavily to the ground with a "thud!"

"My lord—!"

"Lord!"

Mo Ran and Mo Feng spoke up almost simultaneously, stepping forward to help the person up from the ground.

The blood seeping from the wound on Shen Sangwan's back had soaked through her robes, spreading to her collar and shoulders.

"Mo Ran, what's wrong with our lord...?"

"You take the army and set up camp outside the city to await orders. I will take the lord to a town on the outskirts of the capital to find a doctor. We will proceed with the rest of the plan once the lord has woken up."

"Okay, be careful in everything!"

"the same as you."

With Mo Feng's help, Mo Ran tied Shen Sangwan to his back, mounted his horse, and rode off towards the outskirts of the capital.

Watching the disappearing afterimage, Mo Feng tidied himself up and mounted his horse. "Let's go!"
