If it wasn't for the fact that his legs were shaking, perhaps Emperor Xin would still love him as much as before. "Empress!" Second Brother Jiang reminded Empress Jiang when she stared at him silently. "Minister Jiang, it seems that your abilities have exceeded my expectations. Since he could find it out while chatting, was there a way to break it?”Empress Jiang looked at Second Brother Jiang with interest. The tone of her question made Second Brother Jiang feel that Empress Jiang did not believe him. Wasn't this nonsense? If I didn't have full confidence in cracking this trap, would I have said it? How would Second Brother Jiang dare to show it off? They would also learn from the people in the Imperial Hospital who pretended to be confused. If they continued to show off, wouldn't they be overestimating themselves and smashing their own signboard? "I can still work hard on this matter, but the heavens are unpredictable. It's not that the Imperial Academy of Medicine can't find out the Empress's illness, but that after many misgivings, they collectively made a slip of the tongue. Just like how I narrowly escaped death this time, there must be someone behind the scenes for the Imperial Physicians to collectively pretend to be ignorant. However, I am willing to give it a try. The Empress should also investigate the people around her and eliminate those who have disagreements.”
"Moreover, this Qianji is one of the three great poisons. The medicinal properties of this thing are stubborn. Once it becomes apparent, the medicinal properties will gradually increase. Although it would not pose an immediate threat to Empress Jiang's life, it was like a time bomb in her body. It might explode at any time according to someone's request and take the Empress's life. This was not a joke.”
" It can be cured, but…" Second Brother Jiang looked at Empress Jiang awkwardly. Of course, it was about the consultation fee. How could he not pay for the consultation? "Hmm?" Empress Jiang narrowed her eyes and looked at Second Brother Jiang seriously. Second Brother Jiang pursed his lips and said firmly,""But it requires a very rare medicinal ingredient, fresh Lone Grass, as the medicinal primer.”
"Are you sure you need the Lone Herb as a drug primer?”Empress Jiang's aura suddenly became extremely cold. She took a step closer to Second Brother Jiang and looked down at him like a god. The pressure was almost suffocating. Second Brother Jiang looked up at Empress Jiang without showing any weakness. His tone was still as firm as before."Yes, Empress! No Two Grass. If he wanted to untie the tie on the Empress, he had to use the Buer Grass as the drug primer.”Although the Lone Grass was rare, it was not impossible to find it. Now, there was one in the hands of His Majesty Di Xin.
In those years, the daughters of many vassals wanted to marry Emperor Xin. No matter whether they were beautiful or ugly, His Majesty happily married them. However, after marrying Chaoge, they became rusty and unused, just like the Bodhisattvas in the temple. It was only during the war that he realized the usefulness of these concubines who provided salaries.
These days, Marquis of the West Ji Chang wanted to marry Ji Yi to Emperor Xin, but Emperor Xin did not dare to accept her. There were many reasons. If she was not a banished daughter, she could not be used as a pledge. Once the war broke out, the Zhou Country could completely abandon this chess piece. She was just a distant relative. Even if she was a biological banished daughter, they could still abandon her! Secondly, this beauty was too talented. It was just that the place where this "talent" happened was not right. She was especially good at intelligence work! Even if the salary was here, the news would continue to flow to the Zhou Country. He had given a stalk of the Lone Herb to Emperor Xin. He had given this medicine with the intention of marrying the royal family to express his sincerity. Everyone in Chaoge knew about this, and they all thought that Di Xin had his own plans.
In fact, Di Xin was not afraid of hearsay. The consorts in the palace were all extremely charming and had never been used before. Every time they were pledged, there would be a lot of gossip! However, at this critical moment, you said that you need the Immortality Herb to cure the Empress. Second Brother Jiang, are you sure you're not trying to extort Di Xin? "Second Brother Jiang, do you know the consequences of lying to me?”After witnessing the end of Baili Shengshou and Empress Jiang's reputation for being cruel and ruthless, Second Brother Jiang knew what had happened. However, he still looked at Empress Jiang with a very firm gaze and emphasized.
"I don't understand what Her Majesty the Queen is trying to say. However, to cure the poison in the Empress's body, he had to use the second herb.”"What if this Empress is unwilling to treat him?" Second Elder Jiang smiled." Your Majesty, you have the power to decide whether to treat her or not. But forgive me for saying one more thing. If the poison in your body isn't removed as soon as possible, you may die at any time. By then, even the Great Immortal will be helpless.”
Second Brother Jiang knew that Empress Jiang was equally cold to others, but he did not believe that Empress Jiang would really not care about her own life.
"High Official Jiang, I will personally deliver the Lone Grass to you in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. However, if my Empress is still unable to stop her limbs from twitching like before, I will let you know what it means to be worse than death.”Di Xin turned around and walked back to the main hall. Accepting this Lone Grass was equivalent to accepting Ji Yi. There was nothing wrong with Ji Yi, but because she was from Xirong Zhou, she could not touch her bottom line! Even a courtyard full of guards could not stop such an expert from spying!
The pressure above his head suddenly withdrew. Second Brother Jiang let out a long sigh of relief, but at the same time, there was an inexplicable emptiness in his heart. It would be a good story if Ji Yi could marry Emperor Xin. At least, they had a good relationship. At the same time, after he helped Ji Yi, he would have another chess piece in the palace. He would be useful at a critical moment, especially when he said those words in front of Emperor Xin to save him. He was really awesome. His name could be considered genuine! That feeling seemed too deep, and he couldn't return it no matter what! As the saying goes, heroes cherish each other. These people in front of him were also heroes, so they would naturally cherish each other! Second Brother Jiang looked at Di Xin's perfect back under the dazzling sunlight and followed him back to the main hall.
"Pass down the order. I and Minister Jiang are concocting medicine in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility…! All the medicines listed would be delivered in two hours!”Di Xin returned to his seat and ordered coldly. The servants quickly went to prepare. When the maid heard the Emperor's decision, she was filled with joy."Your Majesty, what do you want to eat? This servant will prepare it for you."
"Your Majesty, do you live in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility? This servant will order people to clean up.”
"Your Majesty, don't worry about the Empress's illness. The heavens will help the good, and she will be fine.”Unfortunately, Di Xin treated the palace maids as air and ignored them. However, they were still like cockroaches that couldn't be killed. They didn't feel embarrassed at all and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. They just kept talking to Di Xin.
Second Brother Jiang suddenly felt that this girl was actually quite pitiful. How much courage did it take for Di Xin to step on all his feelings without any mercy and even try to hug her thigh! He was going forward bravely without any regard for his own safety! In the same situation, Second Brother Jiang definitely couldn't do it. Empress Jiang no longer vomited blood. Many of her symptoms had subsided, but her legs kept twitching. If only she could recover her slender legs. Perhaps His Majesty would still cling to her like he did back then. Empress Jiang's appearance was absolutely impeccable, but her legs were a little atrophied from the poison!
After dinner, Empress Jiang and Emperor Xin would go to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility to rest. No one told Second Brother Jiang where he should stay. He had secretly decided to stay in a wing room not far away to observe the Empress's condition and prepare the herbs to cure the Empress. Empress Jiang walked to the door. Seeing that Second Brother Jiang had not moved, she suddenly became a little angry."Minister Jiang, are you still not leaving? You're staying here to treat your illness. Do you think this is a free restaurant? You want to make a living here?" "What? What's wrong with me working so hard to make a living? Could it be that the Empress didn't give him any food? This is too stingy!" Second Brother Jiang was stunned. "Where should I go? Are you worried that I won't come back after I leave?”Sensing the anger on Empress Jiang, Second Brother Jiang finally understood that Empress Jiang wanted him to leave with her. He did not trust the other imperial physicians. Although Empress Jiang was indeed flawless and unparalleled, Second Brother Jiang really had no intention of getting together with them. Such a fierce woman would cause a war wherever she went.
"That, Empress, I'll work overtime in the room tonight! The Empress and His Majesty can go to the bedroom to rest, so don't worry about me.”Empress Jiang didn't say anything and turned to leave. She didn't even give any instructions to the servants. Looking at Empress Jiang's departing figure, Second Brother Jiang swept away the disappointment in his heart and let out a long sigh of relief. He seemed to enter the wing room not far away very easily.
The maid was busy thinking about how to get close to Empress Jiang. She was circling around Empress Jiang at the moment and had no mood to bother Second Brother Jiang. Second Brother Jiang dismissed the servants and confirmed that there was no other invisible poison on Empress Jiang's body except for the secret weapon. Then, he took out some medicinal herbs and started to fiddle with them in the room. In the dead of the night, Second Brother Jiang made two pills and gave them to Empress Jiang. Then, he took out a silver needle and began to give Empress Jiang acupuncture. Di Xin watched from the side without saying anything, as if it had nothing to do with him. This guy was too cool.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was addicted to detoxifying the Empress, Jiang Wendi wrote a request for leave and left Zhaoge to purchase herbs in Medicine Refinery City. Chaoge had a lot of materials, but she didn't have all of them. She was worried that someone had tampered with them! Moreover, he could also get some kickbacks by running errands! Whoosh! After leaving Zhaoge overnight, Second Brother Jiang came to Medicine Refinery City again the next morning.
The scenery was still the same. Second Brother Jiang placed a bamboo slip covered with his own crooked handwriting on the shopkeeper's table and said,""Shopkeeper, please follow the instructions and prepare them for me.”The shopkeeper, who was lowering his head to settle the accounts, heard that this guy's voice was a little familiar. His expression changed and he suddenly raised his head to see Second Brother Jiang. He immediately exclaimed,"Senior, why didn't you tell me that you're here?”The money-gathering tube hurriedly walked out of the counter, poured a cup of tea, and bowed respectfully.""Senior, please follow me. Medicine Master Li wants to see you.”"Saint Li?" Second Brother Jiang frowned slightly and followed.
The money-gathering tube carefully led Second Brother Jiang to a nice courtyard in the depths of the Medicine Pavilion. In front of the courtyard, a group of Huang Grade apothecaries stood there with bitter expressions. "So many young talents are queuing up here as punishment?”Second Brother Jiang was puzzled? "Waiting. Everyone is queuing up here to visit Saint Li of the Medicine Pavilion. However, the courtyard door had always been closed. Li Shengshou's temper had been quite bad these two days. He did not know what had caused the old man to be like a flea, jumping inside non-stop! These conceited geniuses had been waiting for several days, but for some reason, Apothecary Li refused to meet them.”The money-gathering tube brought Second Brother Jiang along. "Coin-gathering tube shopkeeper, go in and help me tell him when Medicine Master Li is free.”"Thank you, shopkeeper. I will definitely repay you generously!”Everyone cupped their hands, as if they had seen someone and still wanted to accept gifts and bribes. The money-gathering tube returned the salute and said,"Everyone, please forgive me. As for the matter of having to repay you handsomely, there's no need. It wasn't easy for this shopkeeper to get this job. Losing this job is a small matter, but losing my master's trust is a big matter! Master Apothecary Li has been occupied with important matters for the past two days, so it's really inconvenient for him to meet with you.”He turned to look at Second Brother Jiang and said respectfully,""Senior, please come in with me!"
He pushed open the courtyard door and walked inside. Second Brother Jiang was quite arrogant. He nodded slightly and followed the money tube in. Many high-level pharmacists were shocked. "The shopkeeper of the money-gathering tube, he…"”"What's going on?" They, a group of high-level apothecaries, and even king level apothecaries couldn't enter, but this sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth actually entered with his head held high. What was the reason? Could it be that he had received a lot of bribes? Why? After the coin collector pushed open the courtyard door, a roar came from inside. "Get lost!" The sound waves rolled and the sound was vast. The group of apothecaries outside the courtyard were all gloating. Even their high-level apothecaries could not enter. If this little youth dared to enter, it would be strange if he was not reprimanded by Saint Li! This Saint Li is the first son of the Saint Shaman Xian. His name is high in the world and everyone admires him. Who do you think you are, fool? However, very soon, their eyes widened. He could clearly hear hurried footsteps coming from inside the room, followed by the sound of something hitting the door or the table. After that, Master Li Shengshou's joyful words came,""Senior, grandmaster, you have finally appeared. Junior Li Shengshou greets senior grandmaster. Please forgive junior's rudeness!”Grandmaster? Outside the courtyard, a group of high-level pharmacists looked at each other with wide eyes. Some of them were at a loss. Which senior? Didn't a money-gathering tube just go in? The money-gathering tube was a senior? What a joke! Could it be that young master? The onlookers were deeply shocked and incredulous.
In the courtyard. Second Brother Jiang frowned slightly. This Li Shengshou really didn't care about his image. He stared at Li Shengshou, who was running out in a disheveled manner."Saint Li, what happened? Why are you so panicked?”"Senior Grandmaster, let's talk inside the room," Li Shengshou said respectfully.”Second Brother Jiang nodded and walked into the room. Li Sheng gestured for the money tube to leave while he hurriedly followed. As soon as the coin collector came out, it was immediately surrounded by a group of pharmacists. "Coin-gathering tube shopkeeper, who was that young man just now?”"What's going on? Why was Medicine Master Li so respectful to him?”"Even the other disciples of Sacred Magus Xian wouldn't dare to put on such airs when they meet Apothecary Li!”After the money-gathering tube was surrounded by a group of antique pharmacists, it smiled bitterly and hurriedly cupped its hands."Everyone, please spare me. I really can't tell you about this master's identity. If you want to know the reason, you can ask Apothecary Li yourself.”He hurriedly left.
Inside the room. Li Shengshou personally poured a cup of tea for Second Brother Jiang and said with a bitter smile,""Senior Master, to be honest, all of this was caused by Emperor Xin's master, Grand Preceptor Wen. I had a little friendship with Grand Preceptor Wen in the early years. Some time ago, he had been resting at home for a long time and actually fell seriously ill. Medicine was ineffective, and his lifespan was approaching, so he asked me to help him think of a way to extend his life by a few more years. However, I have told him a few prescriptions for prolonging his life, but he could not achieve the effect. Not only did he not refine the tempering effect of the ancient prescription, but he also did not refine it. Even our Medicine Pavilion headquarters doesn't have the ability to refine those spirit herbs!”"Therefore, these days, I have been thinking of ways to treat him first. However, this illness is actually a kind of poison that was planted in his early years. I have tried my best, but there is no effect!”"Seeing that Grand Preceptor Wen doesn't have many days left to live, to be honest, this junior feels really guilty!”"I've always wanted to contact Senior, but Senior Grandmaster's status is too high. How can I contact him? He didn't know how to contact her, nor did he dare to reveal her identity to Grand Preceptor Wen without permission!”"It's all thanks to Senior Grandmaster for coming here today. Please teach me!”He stood up and bowed respectfully. "Yao seed poison?" Second Elder Jiang thought for a moment and said," Grand Preceptor Wen is indeed an outstanding person. Even if I don't give you face, I will still help you with this. However, due to the special circumstances, I have to go and see Grand Preceptor Wen personally. However, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see him with my current identity."”
Second Brother Jiang had to diagnose it personally to know where the source of the disease was and then find a way to solve it! When Li Shengshou heard that Second Brother Jiang was willing to treat Grand Preceptor Wen, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said,""Thank you, senior grandmaster. Don't worry, senior. I'll contact Grand Preceptor Wen and tell him that one of my grandmasters can help him resolve this disaster.”Second Brother Jiang nodded quietly. With his status, it was not a big deal for him to accept Li Shengshou calling him grandmaster. The ruler of the Lu Kingdom was also worthy of him hugging his thigh.
