The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Inside the palace of Consort Li.

Lu Yao checked on Yu Shu's condition and found that her mental state was much better than that of the eunuchs and palace maids outside.

This shows that the imperial physicians who treated Yu Shu in the past were not incompetent; at least they delayed the onset of her symptoms.

Lu Yao took out antibiotics and antiviral drugs from the medicine box and handed them to Yi Xiaochuan.

"Mr. Lu, what is this?"

Yu Shu looked at the white granules that Yi Xiaochuan had brought over and asked curiously.

She had taken countless medicines during this time, all of them decoctions, and this was the first time she had ever seen pills like these.

"This medicine can save you, take it quickly."

Yi Xiaochuan said softly, his eyes full of concern.

"This is medicine from my hometown, Xiaochuan and I. Don't worry, sister-in-law, you'll get better soon after taking it."

Lu Yao chuckled softly and explained.

Modern people often develop some degree of antibiotic resistance, and these drugs are very effective. In contrast, the ancients would naturally recover from their illnesses after taking these medications.

Yu Shu nodded weakly and took the medicine with Yi Xiaochuan's help.

Lu Yao stepped out of the inner hall, leaving them alone. The two had been separated for a long time and must have had a lot to say, so Lu Yao decided not to be a third wheel.

Upon arriving at the side hall, Yu Ji's two elder sisters were found to be in much better condition after taking their medicine.

"Xiaoxue thanks you for saving my life, young master. I thank you on behalf of my sister Xiaokui."

When Xiaoxue, a palace maid who was sitting on the ground, saw Lu Yao enter, she quickly and laboriously got up to thank him.

Another palace maid, Xiao Kui, is still unconscious, but judging from her even breathing and normal condition, she should be fine.

"Do you have a younger sister named Xiaoyue?"

Lu Yao approached the palace maid Xiaoxue and asked softly.

Xiaoxue was slightly taken aback, not expecting Lu Yao to ask this question.

"To be honest, sir, I do have two younger sisters. Besides Xiao Kui, who is standing here, I have not been able to find my other sister, Xiao Yue."

Xiaoxue answered Lu Yao truthfully.

Lu Yao stroked his chin, and it seemed that his judgment was correct. These two palace maids were the future Yu Ji, and Xiao Yue's older sister.

"You two have contracted the plague, and the medicine that saved you is very precious. How will you repay me?"

Looking at Xiaoxue, who was dressed in a pure white white dress, Lu Yao walked up to her, lifted her chin, and looked at her with amusement.

Xiaoxue's heart fluttered at Lu Yao's actions, and her face gradually turned red. No man had ever teased her like this before.

She and her sister were both women from the State of Chu. After the fall of Chu, they were captured and made palace maids in the Qin palace. She was separated from her sister, Xiaoyue, and the only men she saw were the Qin Emperor and eunuchs.

"I...I...I wonder what kind of Xiaoxue the young master desires?"

Xiaoxue blushed and stammered.

Seeing Xiaoxue's expression, Lu Yao felt a surge of joy. He lowered his hand from Xiaoxue's chin and stopped teasing her.

"I haven't decided yet, let's talk about it later."

Lu Yao laughed and told her not to leave the side hall for the time being, and to wait until she was fully recovered before going out.

The virus they were infected with has not been completely eliminated, nor have they developed resistance, so there is a risk of secondary infection if they go out.

"Thank you, young master. May I ask your name?"

Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the handsome man in front of her, and asked with a slightly shy tone.

Lu Yao carefully examined Xiao Xue for a few moments, and couldn't help but wonder if this girl had fallen for him.

Lu Yao couldn't help but wonder if he had gone too far with his actions just now.

"My name is Lu Yao. I happen to have a clue about your sister, Xiaoyue. I'll tell you once I find her."

Lu Yao naturally knew where Xiaoyue was, but there was no need to tell her now.

Xiaoxue was deeply moved when she heard that Lu Yao still remembered her sister Xiaoyue's story.

"Young Master is the kindest person Xiaoxue has ever met. Thank you, Young Master!"

A tear slid down Xiaoxue's pretty face as she knelt before Lu Yao, looking at him with teary eyes.

Lu Yao was a little confused. Were women in ancient times so trusting of people?

Lu Yao quickly helped Xiaoxue up and made her sit down to rest, since she was still a patient.

"You all get some rest. I'll bring you your meals every day."

Lu Yao stood up, whispered a few words of comfort, and then left the side hall.

Watching her receding figure, Xiaoxue felt more at ease than ever before.

……

In the pavilion of Consort Li's palace, Lu Yao was standing, gazing at Xianyang. This spot offered a perfect view of most of Xianyang.

Lu Yao, who was admiring the scenery, heard footsteps behind him but did not turn around.

"How are you feeling, Yu Shu?"

Lu Yao continued to gaze at Xianyang, but he naturally knew who the visitor was.

"She's already asleep and is feeling much better. Thank you so much, Brother Yao."

Yi Xiaochuan came to the side and said with great gratitude.

"Since she is the one you love, Xiaochuan, I will naturally do everything I can to save her."

Lu Yao turned to look at Yi Xiaochuan and said with a smile.

"I estimate that it will take at most seven or eight days to cure this plague. Do you have any plans?"

Lu Yao guessed that Yi Xiaochuan didn't want to leave so soon, so he asked.

For couples in long-distance relationships, the separation is incredibly painful, especially for Yi Xiaochuan, whose situation is even more hellish—he's practically fighting Qin Shi Huang for a woman, though he's already halfway there.

Yu Shu's heart belongs to Yi Xiaochuan, but Yi Xiaochuan also wants her body, so they need to make a good plan.

"I don't know what to do either. Brother Yao, you always have a lot of ideas, do you have any suggestions?"

Yi Xiaochuan looked bewildered. He didn't know what to do next. Yu Shu was recovering and they were about to leave, and it would be difficult to see each other again in the future.

"Xiao Chuan, have you forgotten history? The Qin Dynasty was destined to perish. Once Qin Shi Huang died and the Qin Dynasty was gone, who could stop you from being together?"

Lu Yao's expression flickered, and his voice was like the cold wind of hell.

Yi Xiaochuan's previously confused eyes brightened. Yes, what stood in front of him and Yu Shu was Qin Shi Huang and the Qin Dynasty.

"But the Qin state is still decades away from its demise."

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Lu Yao with a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing Yi Xiaochuan's question, Lu Yao knew that his plan had succeeded.

"That's history, but we can go back in time. Can't two modern people beat a super ancient relic? Besides, I have a gun."

Lu Yao patted Yi Xiaochuan on the shoulder to boost his confidence.

The Qin state's strength was entirely due to Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six states, so the Qin state's demise after only two generations was not entirely the fault of Qin Er Shi (Hu Hai).

Of course, if the eldest son, Fusu, were to succeed to the throne and implement benevolent policies, it would still be possible to extend the Qin dynasty's reign.

Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, Yi Xiaochuan's eyes gradually revealed a dangerous glint.

"So what do we do now?"

Under the spell of love, Yi Xiaochuan decides to join Lu Yao's plan to overthrow the Qin Dynasty.

"This still depends on my sister-in-law, Consort Li."

Lu Yao was in a very good mood and spoke mysteriously to Yi Xiaochuan.
