“I made some herbal tea. Do you want some?” Zhou Ying waited for him to stand firm and ask.
“Give me a cup. It’s hot outside.” Gu Chengrui replied.
Zhou Ying poured a cup for him. “I’ve put the things in the laboratory for you.
You can take a look for yourself later. I have to go and get busy.”
“Okay, I’ll call you when I’m done.” Gu Chengrui nodded.
However, he did not go straight to the laboratory after drinking the herbal tea. Instead, he went to see Guoguo first before getting busy.
On the other end, Zhou Ying first fed the livestock in her inters.p.a.ce and harvested whatever she needed to harvest.
Later, she carried a big watermelon back to the villa.
After cutting and eating half of it, she was about to get busy when Gu Chengrui rushed down. “The medicine you brought back is really the antidote.
“This is the amount of antidote I determined according to the concentration of the poison in the blood. You can give it to the old general directly later.”
“Will he wake up immediately? King Hui and the others are planning to attack tomorrow morning.”
“He will wake up in about 25 minutes, but his body will be very weak. He needs to recuperate for a few days.”
“Understood. Have some watermelon. I’ll send you out after you’re done.”
“Thanks.” Gu Chengrui nodded.
After that, he asked about the Emperor’s situation as he ate.
“In the afternoon, the Emperor called Zhou Huaiming, King An, and some generals into the palace.
“As for the final result, I missed it.
“However, there will definitely be something tomorrow morning.”
Gu Chengrui added worriedly, “This battle will not be easy to fight. The King of the Northern Continent will personally lead the army. It will definitely increase the morale of the soldiers.
“In addition to King Hui’s understanding of the Great Ming Army, he would probably deal a fatal blow to the Zhou Army.”
“That’s the Emperor’s business. We just need to ensure that the commoners don’t suffer.”
“That’s true.”
After chatting for a while, Zhou Ying sent Gu Chengrui back.
She took the antidote he had prepared and went to the General’s mansion in the north.
At this moment, the manor was still brightly lit. The doctors took the general’s blood and conducted various experiments.
The patrol teams were very tight, and it was absolutely impossible for any spies to sneak in.
Zhou Ying went straight to General Zhou’s room.
Only a man in his fifties was in the room, staring at the map and studying it.
Zhou Ying did not know him, but she could guess his ident.i.ty.
He was Old General Zhou’s deputy general, Zhou Xinghe, also the old general’s attendant back then.
If her guess was correct, he was studying the map to determine where Zhou Huaiyu might appear.
Zhou Ying did not disturb him. Instead, she quickly fed the old general the antidote and half a gla.s.s of water. After ensuring he was awake, she retreated and carried Guoguo out of her inters.p.a.ce to sleep.
When Zhou Ying woke up the next day, she received shocking yet expected news. The Emperor was bringing Zhou Huaiming, the son of King An, the son of King Xian, and the others to lead the army personally.
King Xian, King An, the original Seventh Prince, King Ning, Grand Scholar Sun, and a few other essential officials were in charge of the country.
“Did they say when they were leaving?” Zhou Ying asked Niu Lirong.
“They have already mobilized the troops. I heard that they’ll set off soon.”
“See if there are any other fruits in the residence. Pick some high-quality ones and prepare some. Let’s go to the palace together in the afternoon.”
“Yes, Mistress.” Niu Lirong replied and turned around to leave.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying brought Guoguo to eat breakfast.
As soon as she put down her bowl, Mingyu walked in with red eyes while carrying Zhuangzhuang..
