Origin System, I have a barren mountain

"My husband allowed you to escape because he was too kind. Now you're courting death. Don't say I, the Empress Dowager, didn't give you a chance!"

The Empress Dowager stared intently at the palace servants who were craning their necks and staring at her.

Cheng Yunmo saw that Zhenying's condition was very serious. Although the imperial physician had treated her, Zhenying's condition was not stable, and it seemed that there was something on the weapon.

The imperial physician, unable to speak plainly, frowned and tentatively looked at Cheng Yunmo, saying, "If Lord Cheng wishes to save her, he will need to ask the Empress Dowager for help. She has many medicinal herbs, rare and precious things that none of us have ever seen before."

Modern medicines were taken to ancient times by the Empress Dowager.

Cheng Yunmo understood the imperial physician's meaning, but she also knew that anything used by the Empress Dowager would bring double the trouble to the Xu Kingdom.

Although it is unknown what method the Empress Dowager used, the retribution did not fall on her, but on the State of Xu.

Cheng Yunmo glanced at the virtual panel and asked if there was a solution.

"System, can you give me a way to ensure Zhenying survives?"

A line of text slowly appeared on the virtual panel, responding to Cheng Yunmo.

Cheng Yunmo never expected that the virtual panel would actually respond to her, and she quickly looked at the line of text.

Zhenying can be saved, but she must go to the barren mountain after the treatment is completed to collect a certain amount of food, enough to cover the treatment costs, and then deduct the platform fee before she can leave the barren mountain.

Cheng Yunmo looked at Zhenying, "Zhenying, would you like to go to my desolate mountain? I can save you."

"My slave is willing."

Zhenying's face was pale, but her eyes were filled with excitement.

"This servant thanks Lord Cheng for saving me."

Rather than seeking to be near the Empress Dowager, she was willing to pay the price to stay by Lord Cheng's side in order to survive.

After learning that Zhenying had agreed, Lord Cheng exchanged his medicine with the system and obtained the medicine to treat Zhenying.

When Zhenying was thrown into the wilderness, it looked to onlookers like Lord Cheng had performed a magic trick and the person had suddenly disappeared.

The Empress Dowager's face was ashen, which clearly indicated that Zhenying could recover without her intervention.

The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital stared wide-eyed at this scene.

The imperial physician Zhang, who had just treated Zhenying, had a hint of envy in his eyes.

Ever since the Empress Dowager brought modern things, the Xu Kingdom has become plagued by disasters and is often ridiculed by envoys from the Xicheng Kingdom, but the Empress Dowager has never cared about these things.

The Imperial Medical Academy originally had several outstanding physicians, but because of the Empress Dowager, only those physicians whom she was willing to keep remained.

I had long heard that Lady Cheng, who was formerly known as the Spirit of the Wilderness, not only had a wilderness where crops could be grown quickly, but also where many precious medicinal herbs could be found.

Liang Yu looked at Physician Zhang, one of the people from the Imperial Medical Academy whom he trusted.

"Physician Zhang, please examine Lady Cheng and see how she is feeling."

Physician Zhang's eyes lit up, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his aged face.

The young apprentice who came with Physician Zhang couldn't help but look surprised when he saw this scene.

Since becoming an apprentice, he had rarely seen his master as happy as he was today.

The Emperor found it strange, wondering what Physician Zhang was so happy about.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I need no thanks..."

Cheng Yunmo was just about to refuse when, well, she wasn't human, so it would be strange if she could see anything.

However, when faced with the Imperial Physician Zhang who was right in front of him, he couldn't help but choke up the words he wanted to say.

Seeing the expectant look in Physician Zhang's eyes, she said awkwardly, "Okay, alright."

The Empress Dowager, unwilling to witness this scene, angrily turned and left.

Physician Zhang carefully examined Lord Cheng's pulse, but the more he examined it, the more his brows furrowed.

Mu Wanwan and the Emperor looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with Physician Zhang.

"Doctor Zhang, just say what you have to say."

Cheng Yunmo thought that Physician Zhang hadn't noticed anything, so he became a little anxious.

As he was contemplating whether to explain his difference, unexpectedly, Physician Zhang suddenly spoke up, "Does Lord Cheng have many injuries, and is he often frightened and worried?"

Cheng Yunmo, “…”

This was the first time I had ever heard such an answer from a royal physician.

"Lord Cheng's pulse is very strange, as if he had died and then come back to life."

Cheng Yunmo looked at Physician Zhang. What he had just said was not nonsense based on rumors, but was truly based on his pulse diagnosis.

Seeing that Physician Zhang treated Lord Cheng very well, and remembering Lord Cheng's unstable emotions just now, the Emperor suddenly said, "Physician Zhang, you can stay here and take care of Lord Cheng's health."

Physician Zhang had originally wanted to stay, and now that the Emperor had spoken to him, he was even more excited and immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "Your subject obeys the decree."

Lord Liu had already arranged for people to repair the destroyed mansion, and said to Cheng Yunmo earnestly, "Lord Cheng, you're not a child anymore. How can you let yourself become like this because of someone from the past? Can't you just be yourself?"

Cheng Yunmo still felt a little guilty for hitting someone. She didn't know how anxious Lord Liu was when he received the news, rushing over to find her in such a disheveled state.

"Lord Liu, I was wrong."

Lord Liu glanced down at the clothes he was wearing and couldn't help but rub his forehead. Luckily, no one noticed.

After everyone had left one after another, Physician Zhang found himself the furthest guest room and settled in.

This was Zhenying's first time visiting the desolate mountain. Although she had wounds, she could no longer feel the pain after treatment.

She looked around the barren mountain and found some houses that had already been built at the foot of the mountain.

Although the houses were empty, they were very clean, which was obviously because Prime Minister Mu often tidied up the rooms.

The area around the barren mountain was exceptionally clean. When Prime Minister Mu saw her, he said, "Zhenying, since you arrived, the vegetables around here have been growing exceptionally well."

Prime Minister Mu was not joking; the vegetables planted in the field were indeed growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhenying didn't know why, but looking at this strange scene, she felt both happy and excited.

“You must have been someone close to the Empress. Who knew the Empress Dowager would change your life forever? But it’s not too late. Give these vegetables to Physician Zhang and his family. They’re starving to death right now.”

Although Prime Minister Mu was in the desolate mountains, for some reason, he knew everything about the Zhang family, the imperial physician, who lived outside the mountains.

Although Zhenying was just a woman, her work ability was extraordinary.

They quickly gathered a large amount of green vegetables, tied them up, and set them aside. In the blink of an eye, the green vegetables vanished into thin air.
