For example, the first-aid prescription given by Imperial Physician Su, any changes of medicinal ingredient would affect the whole body.
Changing the medicine needed to be done in conjunction with the patient’s condition. Considering all aspects, it could be said to be a difficult task. However, for Gu Feiyan, with the Medicine King’s Cauldron in her hand, this was still a very simple matter. Based on Imperial Physician Su’s diagnosis as well as the combination of all the other medicinal ingredients on the prescription, she quickly determined that the ingredient that had been replaced was the star anise.
Gu Feiyan was brought to the logistics camp immediately. Even though there were soldiers especially supervising her, she still managed to secretly hide Xia Su Zi into the small medicine cauldron, took out the star anise from the small medicine cauldron, and put it into the medicine bag.
Madam Lin had sent someone to urge them four or five times while the medicine was being boiled. Gu Feiyan also wanted to be quick. She wished that she could store all the medicine into the cauldron and use the divine flame to cook it quickly. However, the current situation didn’t allow her to expose the small cauldron, so she could only use the usual method using low heat and bring out the essence of the medicine.
When Gu Feiyan brought the medicine back to the camp, she was startled. She did not expect General Cheng to be in a worse condition than she had expected.
General Cheng was really dying! He didn’t even have the strength to vomit blood. Lying in Madam Lin’s embrace, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes slightly closed, on the verge of death. In this situation, it would be difficult to feed him the medicine.
Upon seeing the medicine being delivered, Madam Lin, the deputy general, and the military doctor were all flustered.
“Quick, help get the general up, quick!”
“This won’t do, the medicine is too hot. Hurry up and blow on it to cool it down, hurry up!”
“Yifei, hurry up and drink the medicine, don’t scare mother! Move your mouth! Hurry up!”

Madam Lin was so anxious that her eyes were filled with tears. Her hands were trembling as she brought the medicine bowl to her son’s mouth. She wished for him to drink it all in one gulp. However, Cheng Yifei did not open his mouth. The doctors and servants were anxious and helpless. In a moment of desperation, Madam Lin actually ordered the servant girl to feed the medicine with her mouth.
Seeing this, Gu Feiyan panicked and stopped the servant girl. “You’re not allowed to drink!”
This bowl of medicine is very precious, okay!
Madam Lim did not expect Gu Feiyan to stride forward. She scolded angrily, “Damned girl, what else do you want?”
Old Eunuch Wu took the opportunity to reprimand, “Do you still want to delay time? Don’t think that you can shirk responsibility just because you pick up the medicine quickly! I’m telling you, this medicine should have been delivered since midnight. Your imperial pharmacy must take responsibility for it!”
Time was running out, and Gu Feiyan was too lazy to argue. She did not care if Madam Lin wanted her to help. She just pushed General Cheng down and made him rest his head on Madam Lin’s wrist.
“Old Madam Lin, if you want General Cheng to drink the medicine, raise this arm a little bit and hold him with the other hand. Don’t let him move.” Gu Feiyan’s voice was not loud, but it contained a force that could not be defied. Although Madam Lin didn’t really believe her, she did as she was told.
Gu Feiyan’s grabbed General Cheng’s chin with one hand and didn’t know what acupuncture points she had pinched, but she easily got General Cheng to open his mouth. She extended her other hand towards the servant girl and coldly said, “Medicine!” Hurry up!”
The servant hesitated, casting a questioning gaze at Madam Lin.
“Damned girl, are you sure … Can you feed him? If you …”

The uneasy Madam Lin needed a chill pill, but Gu Feiyan ignored her and commanded her servant, “Bring the medicine over immediately!”
The servant girl was also intimidated. Not only did she bring the medicine, she even brought a spoonful of it over. Gu Feiyan did not pick it up. She took out a thin and long bamboo spoon that was filled with medicinal powder from the small medicine bag she carried with her. She scooped up the medicine with the small bamboo spoon and directly inserted it into the base of General Cheng’s tongue.
This method was easy enough to let the half-unconscious General Cheng swallow the medicinal soup. This time, everyone had a whole new level of respect for Gu Feiyan. This little medicine girl really had some ability!
