The night before yesterday, when the palace maids went to fetch bath water, they all covered their mouths and noses with cloth towels.
The body odor of Emperor Shunde was already quite pungent, and now with the toxins discharged from his body, it was even more disgusting.
This process was repeated several times, including bathing and sleeping. By the second half of the night, the bright yellow sheets on the dragon bed had turned pitch black.
The biggest change, of course, was when the emperor woke up for the fourth time. He clearly felt the changes in his body.
He was as light as a swallow, his ears and eyes were clear, and the fat on his body was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau vied with each other to take the emperor's pulse, all wanting to know the emperor's current health condition.
But after a series of operations, they found nothing wrong.
Emperor Shunde said that his health is now as good as it can be.
The current Emperor Shunde's body size has shrunk by more than half compared to its original size.
If it was 400 kilograms before, it is only 200 kilograms now.
The system conveyed every detail of the emperor's changes over the past two days to Jun Shutong.
[So, all the toxins in the emperor's body have been cleared?]
[Yes, host, not only does it remove toxins, it also removes all excess fat and impurities from the body.]
[This process will take about seven days. The emperor's physique is more special than that of ordinary people, so it will take a little longer.]
Jun Shutong seemed to have grasped the key point and quickly asked: "If ordinary people take this medicine, can they also eliminate excess fat and impurities from their bodies?"
[Of course, the effect on ordinary people would be better than that on the emperor. After all, who would be poisoned for ten years?]
[Then do you know who poisoned the emperor back then?]
[A spy planted by the Vatican, the concubine daughter of Henry, a fourth-rank official, also known as Concubine Jin.]
Back then, the Vatican wanted to eliminate the Emperor, the sole heir to the Yu Dynasty, and then install a puppet who would be useful to the Vatican as the Emperor. However, the Emperor was lucky enough to be rescued after being poisoned. Perhaps it was sheer luck that saved his life.
[However, although the emperor escaped death, due to the poison, his body began to become fat and smelly, which is what everyone saw before.]
[Fortunately, the Emperor has recovered now. Host, you no longer need to hold your breath when you approach him in the future.]
[No wonder, I was wondering why I couldn't smell anything on him. Turns out he was cured.]
By the way, Concubine Jin was nominally Henry's daughter, but in fact Henry's daughter had died three years ago.
The current Concubine Jin only used a disguise. Henry only saw his daughter once a year, and sometimes only once every two years. It was difficult for him to notice. The emperor had never seen Concubine Jin's childhood appearance, so of course he would not suspect anything.
The concubine's daughter of a fourth-rank official was not favored at home and was not favored after becoming a concubine. Naturally, the queen and the imperial concubines would not take her seriously, which made it easier for her to take action.
Emperor Shunde was both excited and angry: "I knew my trip today was not in vain. If I hadn't come, how would I have known the Vatican's evil ambitions?"
The ministers nearby said: [As expected, where Miss Jun is, there are inside stories. From now on, we must follow Miss Jun's footsteps closely.]
The auction downstairs had already begun. The first item was a ginseng. The auctioneer introduced it:
"This is a hundred-year-old ginseng, found deep in the Mystical Beast Forest. I believe everyone present is familiar with its medicinal value, so I won't go into detail."
"The starting bid is 10,000 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 gold coins."
[It's just a hundred-year-old ginseng, and yet it's being priced at 10,000 gold coins, and that's the starting price.]
Jun Shutong was secretly amazed. This ginseng is too valuable!
"Grandma, is this century-old ginseng rare?"
"Why is it so valuable?"
Unexpectedly, the old lady said disdainfully, "Only a hundred years. For commoners, it's a sky-high price, and it's indeed rare. But for the nobles, it's just a matter of spending a few more gold coins. This is their way of monopolizing the market."
Jun Shutong understood that the nobles in the royal capital monopolized rare medicinal materials, raised their prices, and made huge profits through auctions.
Those who really need life-saving medicinal herbs can only obtain them at high prices through auction.
Jun Shutong thought of the Darcys who had left. "I don't know if there's a lot of ginseng in the Mystical Beast Forest. If I could dig up a lot and sell it at a high price, wouldn't I make a lot of money?"
[Host, the undeveloped primeval forest not only has many rare medicinal herbs, but also a lot of mineral resources. Hundred-year-old ginseng is just a low-level medicinal herb.]
Jun Shutong looked at his own small body and said helplessly: "I know, but I can only think about it now, I can't do anything."
Although she lacks crystals, gold coins are equally important. In daily life, every expense cannot be separated from gold coins.
The old lady knew the reason why she saved the orcs, and she also knew the horror of the Mysterious Beast Forest. She was afraid that her granddaughter would have unrealistic ideas, so she quickly explained:
"Although this century-old ginseng is not rare, people who dig it up have to take a big risk."
"Tongtong, do you know why it's called the Mysterious Beast Forest?"
Jun Shutong said without hesitation: "Of course there are many mysterious beasts in the forest."
Didn’t the ancients say that wherever there are natural treasures, there will be extremely dangerous creatures guarding them? She could imagine this.
"It's true that mysterious beasts exist. Legend has it that some of these beasts have developed intelligence and possess human wisdom, but they've only retained their animal characteristics due to the constraints of the rules."
Jun Shutong was shocked: "The mysterious beast has become a spirit?"
"It's not that it's a spirit, but it's simply impossible for ordinary people to enter the heart of the forest. The mysterious beasts in there are not only smart but also ferocious."
"Out of ten people who enter the Mysterious Beast Forest, only one can come out alive, and that too with a disability."
