Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Strongest Fox-Demon (72)

People like Li Yufeng and Chu Xiang, who regarded the throne as something they could toss to others if they no longer wanted it, were truly unprecedented. If others were to hear them, they would probably be scared to death.

Regardless, in terms of their combined strength, this was indeed the case, and it was not a difficult task. Of course, their so-called “play” was not to bring disaster to the country. Anything in their hands would yield the best results. The comfort of the people of the world was not to be trifled with.

After the two succinctly finalized their plan to seize the throne, Li Yufeng asked in detail about the plague situation in the town. This was the first job he has taken over since he joined the court and it must be resolved beautifully to convince the ministers. Fortunately, the plague and the flood were under their personal supervision. With Chu Xiang, Bai You and Bai Yi in his first job was destined to be smooth sailing, as long as they make proper arrangements and help the people tide over these natural disasters.

Chu Xiang also gave him a lot of advice. She has done all these things before, and she was entirely proficient. She casually mentioned them from experience. In just an hour, they agreed on the details of the disaster relief. Each plan was clear and could be implemented right away.

Before leaving, Li Yufeng said to Chu Xiang, “It’s really a blessing for the court to have me on the throne. With your help as well, don’t you think it’s a great blessing? Xiang’er, please think of some more beautiful things for me. This way, my Imperial Father will have no regrets in this life when he sees them and can go to see my mother in peace.”

Chu Xiang asked, “Is his illness incurable?”

“Yes.” Li Yufeng shook his head and sighed lightly. “He has been overworked for decades and his foundations have been boiled. Even if he takes the Snow Lotus Pill, his body can not withstand the drastic changes that will take place when his bones transform. Moreover, I know he is tired, weary deep inside. He has long wanted to see my Imperial Mother, and it may not be a good thing to force him to stay.”

Everyone has their own path they want to follow. Of course that didn’t necessarily mean the longer your life, the better. After hearing what Li Yufeng said, Chu Xiang stopped asking. Instead, she thought of what he could do in a short time. She urged him, “Go back for now. You have loads of things to do to grab the throne. Send doctors and the medicinal supplies first. I want some things. By the way, I’ll give you a list. These are the stores I run. If you need them, you can set arrangements with them. Arrange things on Bai Yi’s side as well. Help me take care of her.”

“Don’t worry.” Li Yufeng took the list and carefully put it away, pressed a kiss on Chu Xiang’s forehead and quickly returned to the capital.

That night, the imperial doctors that Li Yufeng personally deployed, other doctors and several carts of medicinal supplies were delivered to the small town. The two imperial doctors and ten doctors with good reputations in the capital were all nervous. The word ‘plague’ in itself sounded too terrifying. In the town people were only allowed to enter and but not leave. Before their travel, they all told their families their wills. To their surprise, the plague was under control.

The twelve healers first asked the Village Chief about the situation in the area and listened to him gratefully talking about what Chu Xiang had done. They couldn’t help but be a little surprised by it all. They already knew that someone surnamed Chu was in the town, more so she was Prince Xiao Yao’s consort. However, they thought Chu was only there to contribute money and effort. They never thought she knew how to heal and control the plague.

The more they learned about the current situation in the village, the more they were surprised. When they learned that none of the villagers at the Village Chief’s house had been infected, their curiosity about Chu Xiang reached its peak. They all headed to the patient area at the edge of the village to look for her.

When they arrived at the border of the village, they saw Chu Xiang checking the pulse of the patients one by one. Some patients cried and asked in fear, “Immortal Goddess, a-am I not doing well? I feel so uncomfortable, and my vision is blurred.”

Chu Xiang smiled and fed her a decoction. She replied softly, “You’re fine, stop worrying about it. Listen to me, take your medicine and eat well. I’ll guarantee you’ll be fine.”

Another person also cried, “Immortal Goddess, don’t lie to us. It’s a plague. How can anyone survive? The whole village will be burnt down. I don’t want to die. My son is just one month old.”

Chu Xiang stood up and looked around. With soothing power in her voice, she gently conveyed to them, “If I say you’ll be fine, you will be. Do as I say, and everyone here will be cured. Do you believe me?”

“We do! We do!” A seven or eight-year-old girl said naively, “Sister Goddess is the most powerful. She can even catch ghosts. I believe Sister Goddess must have come down to save us!”
