"A ginseng that is two thousand years old."

Su Liluo spoke calmly, but her words immediately stirred up a commotion among everyone in the room.

Not only did the Empress stare wide-eyed in disbelief, but even the eunuchs and servants around Emperor Wenjian were momentarily speechless with astonishment.

Two-thousand-year-old ginseng?

They've never even heard of ginseng, let alone never seen it. Nowadays, the best ginseng is only a few decades old, and the best is no more than a hundred years old.

Furthermore, century-old ginseng is very rare on the market. In general, if a high-ranking official or noble family had a century-old ginseng, they would treasure it as a family heirloom.

The best ginseng in the Liang Dynasty palace is only 300 years old, and it was passed down from Emperor Wenjian's father, who never dared to use it.

"Where in the world can you find ginseng that's two thousand years old?"

After her initial surprise, the Empress sighed.

"If it weren't for these two thousand years of ginseng, would Father's illness be incurable?"

At this moment, Xiao Ye calmly asked.

Su Liluo looked at Xiao Ye without saying a word, only nodding helplessly.

Even the clear spring water in her space couldn't help with this weakness and aging.

Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but begin to doubt whether this was really just a coincidence.

At first, he thought there was some conspiracy behind Emperor Wenjian's illness, but now that Su Liluo said there was no cure, the emperor could only wait to die.

If the emperor were to die, he would be the rightful heir. Everything seemed to be in his favor, and it didn't seem like anyone was plotting against him.

But his idea was soon shattered.

Emperor Wenjian's strange illness was indeed a conspiracy.

After Su Liluo and the others left the palace with no other choice, the emperor issued an edict to find a two-thousand-year-old ginseng. Sure enough, someone came with a two-thousand-year-old ginseng.

This person was none other than Xiao Churen, who had been silent for a long time.

Xiao Churen brought not only two-thousand-year-old ginseng, but also a woman dressed in Western Region attire.

"King Chu, can this woman you brought really cure His Majesty's weakness?"

The empress looked at the woman brought by the King of Chu with a strange expression.

The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, with an oval face and fox-like eyes. She was alluring and looked more like a dancer than a doctor.

“Mother, Miss Yilan is a famous physician in the Western Regions. I bought this thousand-year-old ginseng from her. Her medical skills can bring the dead back to life and heal bones. As long as there is still a breath left, she can cure them.”

Xiao Churen respectfully cupped his hands and said.

The Empress was even more surprised when she heard that the thousand-year-old ginseng had been bought from this woman.

She dared not trust others easily, so she immediately had the imperial physician examine the thousand-year-old ginseng.

Before long, the imperial physician reported to the empress in amazement how rare this thousand-year-old ginseng was, and confirmed that the ginseng was indeed over a thousand years old. Only then did the empress decide to believe the King of Chu.

After all, if she hadn't cured Emperor Wenjian, the Crown Prince would have ascended the throne directly after Emperor Wenjian passed away.

This situation is not bad for them.

If the king is cured, he will have made a great contribution.

Although he did not want the King of Chu to rise again, the whole city knew that the King of Chu had found a thousand-year-old ginseng and brought a divine doctor from the Western Regions to treat the emperor.

If I don't give in, it might cause controversy.

More importantly, the seriously ill Emperor Wenjian heard from somewhere that the King of Chu had found a thousand-year-old ginseng, and he rushed over despite his weakened state.

"Empress, heal me... quickly have the divine physician brought by the Prince of Chu treat me!"

With the help of eunuchs, Emperor Wenjian slowly walked into the main hall and said weakly.

"Greetings, Father Emperor!"

Xiao Churen respectfully greeted Emperor Wenjian.

"Father, please rest assured, the young lady Yilan whom I invited is a famous physician in the Western Regions. No one who has been treated by her has ever died."

"Very well, Your Majesty, you are very kind. If you are cured, I... will certainly not treat you unfairly."

Emperor Wenjian then took a serious look at Xiao Churen.

He hadn't seen his son for a long time since he punished Xiao Churen last time.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not hold a grudge against me for punishing him, nor did he blame me for sending him to the Crown Prince's command for training, but he also brought me good news when I was seriously ill.

Emperor Wenjian was overjoyed at this thought, and he decided that if he could cure Xiao Churen, he would reward him handsomely.

Three days later.

Under Yi Lan's treatment, Emperor Wenjian's body gradually recovered, his complexion slowly returned to normal, and his overall energy and spirit gradually returned to a state even better than before.

Emperor Wenjian was immediately delighted and reinstated Xiao Churen to his original position, transferring him out of Xiao Ye's military camp. He also rewarded Xiao Churen with gold and silver.

But Xiao Churen refused.

"Father, I don't want any real gold or silver. I only have one request. I hope you can grant it. Even if it means returning to the Crown Prince's camp, I would be willing."

Xiao Churen knelt on the ground and said loudly.

"Oh, what is your request?"

Emperor Wenjian asked in confusion.

Some time ago, he fined a lot of the Chu Prince's property, so the Chu Prince's family should be in dire straits now, and should be very happy with these gifts.

Why did he refuse?

"Father, I wish to release Mother and restore her former status and freedom. Mother gave birth to me, and as her child, I should prioritize filial piety."

King Xiao lowered his eyes and spoke with a sincere and earnest expression.

When Emperor Wenjian heard the last sentence, "Filial piety comes first," he was deeply moved.

Filial piety comes first; the King of Chu was truly a filial son!

Thinking back to his serious illness, he realized that his children were all powerless to help him. It was only thanks to the King of Chu finding a divine physician and a thousand-year-old ginseng that was almost impossible to find that he was able to save his life.

Emperor Wenjian was even more moved.

"Very well! Your filial piety is truly touching, so I will grant your request. As for the reward, you will receive just as much as you deserve, so please do not refuse!"

Emperor Wenjian was immediately moved and agreed.

The news quickly reached Su Liluo's ears. When Su Liluo learned that the female physician brought by the King of Chu had a two-thousand-year-old ginseng, she was extremely surprised.

"Kongkong, someone brought a two-thousand-year-old ginseng to cure Father Emperor's illness!"

Su Liluo immediately informed the space.

"!!!"

"Mine! It must be mine!"

Space was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise.

"It has only been a few decades since the two-thousand-year-old ginseng disappeared. At that time, the two-thousand-year-old ginseng in this space was the only one in the world. In just a few decades, it is impossible for another one to grow!"

"But how did your ginseng end up with that female doctor from the Western Regions?"

Su Liluo couldn't help but become suspicious as she listened to what the space said.
