After becoming the pharmacy eunuch of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, Tian Boguang was brought to the pharmacy located on the west side of the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Although it was called a pharmacy, it was actually a very large palace. It had three floors and was specially used to store the medicinal herbs of the entire palace. The space was naturally not small, and there were thousands of storage cabinets on the three floors that stored all kinds of different medicinal herbs.
There were a lot of hundred-year ginseng and thousand-year lingzhi. They were all medicinal herbs collected from all over the Ming Empire for the use of the royal family. Because he suspected that Imperial Physician Chen had some plot against him, and that he had some secrets that he did not know, Tian Boguang was cautious. After taking office, he began to compare the herbs in the pharmacy with the original records of the herbs.
In the end, he found a problem. Three of the expensive five-hundred-year-old ginseng were missing, and the two-hundred-year-old flesh ganoderma and a blood coral were also missing. From the information in the notebook, it seemed that the blood coral was a treasure that was paid tribute from the coastal area half a month ago. It had the effect of prolonging life for ordinary people and strengthening the qi and blood of martial artists. It was especially effective for martial artists who cultivated body-refining techniques.
Each of these missing herbs was a treasure worth tens of thousands of gold outside. Moreover, they were priceless. However, they had disappeared in less than half a month after entering the palace. There was no record of their whereabouts. They had disappeared just like that. It was obvious that they had been embezzled by some people, and Imperial Physician Chen was undoubtedly the most suspicious.
But then again, the whereabouts of these precious herbs were unknown. If the royal family were to blame them after they were discovered, they would definitely find someone to kill as an example to the others. Now that Tian Boguang was the pharmacy eunuch in charge of these herbs, he was undoubtedly the one who was pushed to take the blame. This Imperial Physician Chen really had bad intentions by making him the pharmacy eunuch.
However, although the vigilant Tian Boguang had discovered the current situation, he was temporarily unable to change this matter. He had just arrived in the Imperial Palace and had no connections. Even if he wanted to report it, it would be useless. Moreover, he felt that Imperial Physician Chen's strength was obviously not weaker than his. It was impossible for Tian Boguang to directly kill Imperial Physician Chen. As long as he was not discovered, Imperial Physician Chen would not take the initiative to expose and frame Tian Boguang for more benefits.
So for the time being, Tian Boguang was safe, but that was hard to say. Tian Boguang wasn't a person who was used to sitting still and waiting for death. Although his strength wasn't good, he still had to think of a way to take the initiative to attack. He couldn't be lucky. If something happened, it would take his life.
The palace where the pharmacy was located was on the west side, only separated from the back palace where the empress and noble consorts lived by a wall. When Tian Boguang came to the second floor of the pharmacy, he could see part of the scene in the back palace. The bright lights seemed to be very prosperous, and the palace was quiet. No one knew how lonely it was behind this prosperity.
And this was the destination that Tian Boguang had entered the palace. The Yin Qi on the bodies of the palace maids and imperial concubines was definitely sufficient. Even now, Tian Boguang could feel that the Yin Qi was much denser than the outside world. It could only be said that there were too many women in the deep palace, and it was obviously not enough for the emperor alone.
At this moment, Tian Boguang did not have too many thoughts about this. He still had to think about his own life. He had to think of a way to solve this crisis that concerned his life and family before he could think about other things.
When it was late at night, Tian Boguang's eyes finally flashed with a light. He had an idea in his heart. He immediately found a few extremely precious medicinal herbs in the pharmacy and went to the bathroom the next day at dawn!
However, Tian Boguang had made up his mind. Since he did not have a backer or connections, he would use the resources he could obtain to open a path for himself. Using benefits to open a path was undoubtedly the best and fastest way to find a backer. In any case, he would die if he failed later, so he used the medicinal herbs in the pharmacy as funds to open the way. He chose Eunuch Li from the clean room. This did not mean that he thought Eunuch Li had the strength to be a backer. He only used this as a stepping stone to lure out an even greater figure. After thinking about it, only Eunuch Li was suitable.
"Little Yu greets Eunuch Li!"
Today's washroom wasn't as busy as before. After all, it wasn't every day that there were eunuchs. Thus, when Tian Boguang appeared with two brocade boxes containing medicinal herbs, he didn't have any delay in meeting Eunuch Li.
"Oh? It's you, kid. It's only been a day and you've returned. Why? Do you really want me to stab you?”
Eunuch Li, who was sipping tea, said jokingly. He did not have the gloominess and ruthlessness that Tian Boguang had when he saw him and faced Commander Guo. Instead, it made Tian Boguang feel a trace of kindness.
"Eunuch Li must be joking. Little Yu will never forget Eunuch Li's care for him. Little Yu is now a eunuch in the pharmacy of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, and he doesn't have anything else to offer. Today, I'm giving you a little gift to show respect to Eunuch Li. I hope Eunuch Li won't mind.”
Tian Boguang smiled apologetically as he handed the brocade box to Eunuch Li. However, Eunuch Li's eyes were constantly sizing him up. He had no intention of accepting it.
"Little Yu, although I am greedy for money, I also know that there are some things that can be touched in the Imperial Palace, but there are some things that can't even be thought about. Tell me honestly, what are your intentions!”
Eunuch Li's face suddenly darkened, and his pair of cold eyes stared at Tian Boguang. If Tian Boguang didn't give him a satisfactory explanation, this matter wouldn't end well. However, Tian Boguang didn't panic at all. He still had a smile on his face. In this world, the worst thing to do was to treat oneself as a smart person and treat others as fools. If Eunuch Li accepted Lin Sheng's things without any doubt, then he was either a fool or had other intentions. That would make Tian Boguang worried. And those who could survive and hold a high position in the palace were not fools.
Thus, Tian Boguang did not hide anything and spoke frankly about the predicament he was currently facing. He expressed that as long as Eunuch Li could save his life, he would follow Eunuch Li and the people behind him. If Tian Boguang became one of them and toppled Imperial Physician Chen, it would be equivalent to the Imperial Academy of Medicine becoming a part of their power. This would also be beneficial to them. It was just that they did not know who was behind Eunuch Li.
There were four forces in the Ming Empire's court. The first was the Emperor's faction. As the Emperor had just ascended the throne at a young age, he was not the son of the previous Emperor. He was only the nephew of the previous Emperor, so his power was in the hands of the Empress Dowager. The rest were the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa of the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu, the Divine Marquis Manor founded by Zhuge Zhengwo, who was known as the Divine Marquis Zhuge, and the East Chamber of the East Chamber Supervisor Cao Zhengchun.
With Eunuch Li's identity as a eunuch, the power behind him should undoubtedly belong to Cao Zhengchun!
