Chronicles of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 2.2 Immortal Offering Medicine
What time is it now?
Qin Shi didn't know.

But it is definitely not China in 2024.

But right now, none of that matters.

When she realized that this miraculous encounter had changed her body and eliminated her terminal illness, only one word kept repeating in her throbbing heart:

live.

Live!
No one knew how she cried, broke down and became hysterical because of her impending death.

When the pain struck, her hair was soaked with layers of cold sweat. She looked like a stray dog ​​with nowhere to escape in the winter rain, her mind full of unwilling questions:
Why? On what basis?!

Finally, he accepted his fate in silence.

In her final days, she planned to go to a remote village, either to teach or simply to explain the outside world to left-behind children...

She accepts her fate and also wants to engrave her name in the fate of others.

And now.

Now he was in good health, and he could sense that he would be healthy in the future. Qin Shi couldn't explain the principle behind this overlap and intersection of time and space, but he knew -

She can live.

At this moment, looking at the man in front of her wearing leather armor and holding a shield and a sword, her smile was unprecedentedly happy, relaxed, and joyful.

But rejoicing alone is not enough.

No matter how noisy the storm in his mind was, Qin Shi took a deep breath and checked his luggage. All his desires were like icebergs, buried under his now calm smile.

Because she realized that as a stranger who intruded into the emperor's procession, if she did not show her extraordinary qualities at the first moment, what awaited her would only be a barrage of swords.

What can I do to survive in this situation?

Obviously, her frankness won her opportunities.

Her noble demeanor and outstanding appearance made the soldiers on the opposite side hesitate. Even though her voice had a strange accent when she spoke, the amazing thing was that everyone could understand her.

After a moment's hesitation, one of the soldiers looked at the others and asked, "Who are you?"

Qin Shi’s smile deepened.

Because she realized that being able to address herself as "Qing" proved that the "noble status" she wanted to achieve had gained initial trust.

Secondly, and most importantly, in this era, women also have a say.

Three...

She looked down at her hands and realized that the adventure had given her the most basic survival ability to travel through time and space - language.

She spoke Mandarin, but the ancient people on the other side could understand her.

Although the other party's accent was strange, she received the message without any difficulty.

At this moment, her mind raced, but she quickly took off the mechanical watch from her wrist.

The mechanical click made the already nervous soldiers even more tense. However, when they followed the watch, they saw the silver metal strap gleaming brightly in the sunlight, and the crystal clear sapphire facets were enough to shock people.
"I have come specially to present treasures to the king."

No one doesn't believe that it is a treasure.

They could only hesitate, wondering if people of their humble status were qualified to hold such a treasure in their hands.

But the lady opposite was already smiling, offering both hands. Subconsciously, the soldier who had spoken so boldly immediately lowered his sword and shield, rubbing his hands against his lapel—but it made no difference, because after the long march in the scorching heat, there was no clean spot on their bodies.

Even his face was covered with marks of dust.

Qin Shi's smile deepened: "Why not just take me there? A treasure like this might require me to explain it carefully."

This proposal was risky, but if the treasure was contaminated, their heads would be at risk. Moreover, they had so many officials above them, so it was better than having everyone else worrying.

So, the soldiers hesitantly made way for them, and Qin Shi strode forward. When he passed the soldier who had just spoken, he tilted his head slightly and said in a gentle voice, "Excuse me, please help me carry the box."

She gave the order as if it were a matter of course, yet was extremely considerate and gentle, even saying "Excuse me"!
The soldier put away his weapons and armor with shaking hands, and directly carried the equally impressive-looking treasure box and the backpack fixed on it onto his shoulders.

……

In the carriage ahead, Prime Minister Wang Fu was already sweating profusely. His hair crown, resting on his sparse hair, looked even more precarious.

The king is seriously ill, and the journey back to Xianyang is long. Now, a noblewoman from an unknown country has appeared on the road...

Zhou Ju, the Imperial Chariot Officer beside him, also knew that the king was in trouble now. All of them were facing the future of being buried alive with the king!
At this moment, I saw that the sergeant in front not only did not kill the person who came, but instead led them towards this side, and was very respectful...

At this moment, anger and the desire for a chance to live merged together. The two of them looked forward to it, just like the silly marmots showing their big front teeth on the grassland.

A moment later, the unknown noble lady in front of him came under the car.

She was wearing a strange shirt and a hat, which was obviously rude, but her demeanor still made her look noble.

Clothes can be disguised, manners can be learned, but a full and abundant energy and blood requires decades of hard work to obtain!

At this moment, her eyes were bright and her voice was clear: "I have come to present treasures to the king."

In his hands, a sparkling and sophisticated ornament appeared in front of everyone.

After a brief surprise, Wang Fu and Zhou Ju fell into disappointment again, with a strong bitterness in their mouths.

If it were ten days ago, the king would have been overjoyed to have received this treasure. But now, ten days later, the king has suffered a recurring fever and is on the verge of death...

How can I have the energy to look at such treasures!
Their momentary disappointment and sorrow were too obvious, completely different from the expressions of the ordinary soldiers standing beside them who were vaguely curious and excited.

Qin Shi was keenly aware of the discrepancy – the ministers were gloomy, but the soldiers knew nothing…

She made a prompt decision and raised her head again: "Of course, there are also magical medicines from the sea." They are called ibuprofen, amoxicillin, etc.

Sea elixir?!
At this moment, ecstasy fell from the sky. Wang Fu squeezed his palm hard to steady his slightly trembling voice:
"Quick! Please come up here, I will examine the treasure for the king!"

Zhou Ju, the commander of the Imperial Chariot Department, immediately waved his hand, and the attendants beside him immediately came to the front of the chariot and knelt down, with their backs straight, waiting for the noble person to step on them.

Qin Shi's steps paused slightly.

After a brief pause, she ordered as a matter of course, "I don't like to step on worldly people. Please put a stool aside."

What is a stool? Wang Fu didn't know, but the king was in danger, so who would care about a stool? He didn't need to give any instructions, because Zhou Ju had already ordered: "Step aside, set up the table and spread the mat for the nobleman to ride in."

The servants quickly ran around, and the people kneeling on the ground bowed quietly, stood up, and stepped aside again.

As more servants moved back and forth under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, Qin Shi felt a complex emotion and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

This is feudal monarchy.
