Even if Gu Feiyan thought of this, she would not be able to figure out the truth.

She did not dare to turn back to look for the carriage. Instead, she dragged the body of the original owner as she ran. It was as if she was fighting for life with time, not only for the young General Cheng's life, but also for her own life!

The Cheng Family's cavalry was one of the Tianyan Kingdom's trump cards, and also one of the founding armies. Three years ago, Old General Cheng died on the battlefield, and Cheng Yifei took over the Cheng Family's cavalry. He took control of Tianyan Kingdom's 200,000 strong army and become the youngest general within the three nations on the Profound Realm Continent at 23 years old.

Since young, General Cheng had been suffering from stomach cold. This time, his illness was very serious. He could not eat for three or four days, and he even vomited after drinking water.

The emperor placed great importance on this matter. He ordered the head of the Imperial Physician Su to enter the military camp and even sent an old eunuch, Eunuch Wu, to serve him and report on his illness at any time.

But the day before yesterday, the emperor had suddenly sent Imperial Physician Su back to the palace in a rush. Last night, something happened to General Cheng. Not only had he vomited water, but he had also vomited a lot of blood. Eunuch Wu sent a message to the palace with a pigeon. Imperial Physician Su first wrote down a prescription for first-aid medicine, ordering the imperial pharmacy to seize the medicine and deliver it overnight.

The medicine in Gu Feiyan's hands was a life-saving medicine!

Gu Feiyan almost stepped on the first ray of sunlight as she arrived at the camp. She took out the medicine bag from the small cauldron, and without delay, she rushed straight towards the gate of the camp. She had no time to explain so much and directly show the imperial pharmacy’s token. When the guard saw the token, he immediately led her to General Cheng's camp.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the camp, Gu Feiyan heard the sound of vomiting from inside the house. The moment she entered, she saw General Cheng's mother, Madam Lin and a deputy general supporting him. He had his head lowered and was constantly coughing. His chest was covered in blood. The military doctor and his servants were all kneeling. Eunuch Wu was standing by the bed with a complicated expression on his face.

Seeing Gu Feiyan walk in, everyone immediately looked over, but no one realized for a moment that she was here to deliver medicine. After all, after a life and death battle and running for her life, her current appearance was dishevelled, and her clothes were tattered. She was no different from a beggar.

Gu Feiyan was adept at medicine, but her medical knowledge was only minimal. But looking at General Cheng's situation, she also knew that he had already half a foot into the gates of hell! She shouted anxiously, "The medicine woman, Gu Feiyan, has been sent to deliver the medicine. Where is the military doctor? Hurry and test the medicine!"

The medicines at the imperial pharmacy were reserved for the Inner Court and the imperial family. According to the customs, Imperial Physician Su could only send the medicines for convenience and it needed to be bought by General Cheng himself. However, the situation was urgent, and there were a few medicinal ingredients on the prescription that were difficult to find. Imperial Physician Su had ordered the imperial pharmacy to prepare the medicine.

The imperial pharmacy had its own rules. Other than the imperial secret prescription, any medicine sent outside had to be checked by the other party before it could be decocted. Otherwise, if there was any mistake, the pharmacist would be responsible for it.

Once Gu Feiyan finished speaking, everyone came to their senses and realized that General Cheng's life-saving medicine had arrived. General Cheng's mother, Madam Lin was the first to speak, "Saving people is more important, there's no need to test it. Quickly cook it, quickly!"

The deputy general also shouted anxiously, "Someone, bring the medicine girl to the rear camp. Quickly!"

"No!"

Gu Feiyan did not hesitate to refuse, her tone was domineering. For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at her.

Uh... Only now did Gu Feiyan realize that the original owner was only a little medicine girl in the imperial pharmacy of Tianyan Kingdom. She was timid and unskilled. In the eyes of these people, she was no different from a servant.

Forget it, since I've been reborn, then I should just follow the customs and not cause trouble for myself.

Gu Feiyan bowed, but her tone was still strong, "Old Madam Lin, please forgive me for not going against the rules of the imperial pharmacy! "If we don't test the drug, then the consequences will be unimaginable if anything goes wrong with it!"

Medicine was not something else. One needed to be careful and cautious. To an expert, just one more pill would be enough to subvert the efficacy of the entire formula. If one failed to save, one would even take people’s lives! One more test was naturally another guarantee.

The imperial pharmacy’s roles ranged from checking the prescription to grabbing the medicine, boiling the medicine, and delivering the medicine to being attended by at least three people, who monitored each other. The medicine was delivered by Gu Feiyan alone. If she didn't check with the military doctor on the spot, what would happen then? What should she do? With the nature of those people in the palace, it was not impossible for them to push all the blame onto her.

Whether it was for General Cheng or for herself, Gu Feiyan had to let them first examine the medicine!
