Chapter 359: Named Princess!
Jiang Rumin brought the two to the stone table in the backyard.
Song Yunchu saw several rows of plants that looked like ferns on the table, but unlike the green color of ferns, these plants were dark blue.
"Your Majesty, this is Lianwu grass, which tastes extremely bitter. Senior Medicine King and I have tested it on patients at different stages of their life. This herb is boiled with Scutellaria baicalensis, Sophora flavescens, and Andrographis paniculata before drinking. It is quite effective for patients who are conscious. It can suppress their desire for the Worry-Free Pill and prevent them from suffering as before during the process of quitting the pill. Taking it with three meals a day will help them slowly expel toxins from their bodies."
"According to the patients' own descriptions, this medicine has no other adverse reactions except for a bitter taste in the mouth all day long. But for those patients who have been poisoned by the Worry-Free Pill and have lost consciousness, the effect does not seem to be obvious, and their health is still getting worse day by day."
Jiang Rumin couldn't help but sigh when he said this.
Song Yunchu said, "According to Minister Xin's investigation, more than half of the patients are conscious. Because they are conscious, they are extremely sensitive to the pain of withdrawal from the pills. Some people foam at the mouth, and some people twitch all over. You just said that this medicine can suppress their pain, which means that at least 3,000 of the 6,000 patients can be saved."
"That's right." The King of Medicine nodded. "Most patients who are still conscious, can recognize the people around them, and can take care of themselves can be saved. As long as they can persist in quitting and take good care of themselves, they can still live like normal people."
"But if they reach the stage where they don't recognize their relatives and friends and are going crazy, it means their brains have been completely poisoned. This is an extremely serious symptom and most of these people cannot be saved."
"We'll save as many as we can." Jun Liluo asked, "Is this herb hard to find?"
"This herb is mostly found in the damp places in the mountains and fields. It is not sold on the market, but fortunately it is not rare. If we can mobilize more manpower, it will not be difficult to find."
"That's great." Jun Liluo turned to look at Song Yunchu, "Let's go back to the palace and issue the notice."
Song Yunchu nodded, and before leaving, he took a cloth bag and packed some Lianwu grass to take back to the imperial doctors.
"For something like finding medicinal materials, we still need professionals to take the lead. Let's recruit more doctors and let the imperial physicians lead the doctors to search separately, which will be more efficient."
Song Yunchu said, not forgetting to thank the two people behind the table, "Rumin, Senior Medicine King, you have been working so hard these days, and you have solved a big problem for me and His Majesty."
I still remember that the Wuyou Pill incident killed more than 20,000 people, and the Imperial Medical Bureau did not find a solution. With the disappearance of the Wuyou Pill, the imperial doctors no longer bothered about it. Now this harmful thing has appeared again. If it weren't for the hard work of Medicine King and Jiang Rumin these days, the court might not be able to save these thousands of patients.
"Hey, there's no need to be polite with me, an old man."
The King of Medicine waved his hand and said leisurely, "Although this recipe was made by me, the most critical herb was discovered by Rumin. She deserves more credit. You just need to reward her well. As for me... you just need to send me a few jars of top-quality aged wine. The wine in this palace should be better than the one sent by Chu kid, right?"
"That's easy." Song Yunchu agreed happily. "There are some excellent palace wines in the Ning Palace. The most memorable one is Bingquan Lihuazui. I'll have someone send it to your residence later."
"Very good." Medicine King stroked his beard happily.
Song Yunchu looked at Jiang Rumin, "Rumin, what do you want?"
Jiang Rumin responded, "Your Majesty and Your Highness have already given me many favors before. There is no need to give me more. As a doctor, it is my duty to treat difficult and complicated diseases."
If she had nothing in the past, she would definitely ask for gold, silver and treasures, but now her family is wealthy and she has the official title of a female tutor, so even her wish of becoming famous has come true.
As long as life could continue like this, she would be happy.
Song Yunchu listened to her words without saying much, but he had a plan in mind.
On the way back to the palace, Song Yunchu said to the people beside him: "Rumin is a humble person. Although she doesn't ask us for a reward, we can't not give it to her."
Jun Liluo said: "If you want to give her anything, just give the order yourself."
…
The night is cool as water.
Under the bright moonlight, a small silvery shadow slipped into the wine room through the half-open window.
It followed the aroma of wine to the opened jar, stuck its head in and took a few licks, then raised its head and looked around.
It seemed to want to jump to another jar, but its four paws were stuck to the jar and it couldn't move.
It kicked and struggled, but couldn't get down, and let out a strange cry in frustration.
At the same time, two figures broke in through the door, carrying a strong large net and covering it!
The little fox bared its teeth at the two of them and opened its mouth to bite the net. The two of them calmly added another layer of net.
"Finally, we caught this little thing."
"This little creature is very powerful, and its claws are poisonous. Wait until it has no more strength to struggle, then put it in the cage."
"It's rare for a fox to steal wine. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful silver fox in my life. It must be a rare species."
Starting about seven days ago, thieves broke into the winery every day.
What was surprising was that the thief did not steal the wine one jar at a time, but tore open the seals of several jars at the same time and stole some wine from each jar.
Moreover, the seals were not torn smoothly, but crookedly, as if they were cut with a sharp tool. The most important thing was that the torn seals were covered with a little silver hair, like animal fur.
Therefore, the "thief" who stole the wine was most likely a small animal.
But what kind of animal likes to drink? They couldn't think of it at the moment.
The owner of the manor gave an idea, saying that the "thief" was probably someone who loved to try new things, so in addition to the wine that had been wasted, he prepared a dozen jars of unopened good wine and put drugs in each jar.
In addition, there were people watching from behind the windows of the house opposite.
After nightfall, the person who was on guard discovered the figure of the "thief" under the swaying lantern. It turned out to be a small fox with a silver body.
I originally thought that the little fox would be drugged by the drug in the wine, but -
After drinking the wine, the little fox did not show any signs of slowness in movement.
The person who was following wanted to catch it, but as soon as he showed his face, the little fox quickly ran away. He couldn't catch up with the little fox and could only shout all the way. The guards who heard the sound rushed out one after another, but the fox was so fast that they couldn't catch even a single fox hair.
Not only that, some people were scratched on the neck by the little fox's claws during the capture process.
The man originally thought it was just a skin wound and applied some medicine, but an hour later his lips turned purple and he passed out in his room.
Someone found him and reported it to the owner of the manor in time. The owner also invited doctors to treat him. However, every doctor said that they had never seen such a poison. The poisoned guard died the next night.
After the owner of the manor learned about this, he only said one sentence -
"We must catch the silver fox. Since it likes to steal wine, we can lure it with the aroma of wine and let it fall into the trap."
The task given by the owner of the manor was finally completed.
On the other side, in the house to the north of the winery, a dark figure was leaning against the windowsill, drinking by himself.
"Shoulder to shoulder with the King..." Jun Tianyi chewed on these three words and sneered.
This is a result that had never been imagined.
The emperor and Song Yunchu were always cunning. He expected that Prince Kang and the people of Mobei might not be able to accomplish their goals, but no matter what the outcome, it would not threaten his safety.
King Kang rebelled in order to cover up his crimes, and the Mobei generals chose to cooperate with King Kang in order to deal with the Xiling Kingdom. As someone who was only responsible for matchmaking, he could not share the fruits of victory, and naturally did not need to bear the risk of failure.
What if they betrayed him? They didn't know where he was hiding. The people his mother had left behind were all very loyal, and he could get news from the outside world without leaving home.
When he learned from his men that Song Yunchu was a woman, he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Has he been fighting openly and secretly with a woman?
It's ridiculous!
But this is indeed a fact, and I heard that it has spread among the people.
After finally digesting this matter, he began to hope that the old ministers in the court would expel Song Yunchu from the court.
Those people have always been rigid and pedantic. In their eyes, court meetings are extremely solemn and dignified occasions, and they would never accept a woman as the head of all officials.
But he was disappointed again.
The old ministers did make a fuss, but they did not succeed. Not only did the emperor completely ignore their opinions, he also conferred the title of King of Side by Side with Song Yunchu!
Shoulder to shoulder king… three words that sound so ancient.
Since the founding emperor, no emperor has ever promoted his subjects to be equals to the king. He couldn't understand how an emperor could agree to have someone equal to him, without the need to pay respect to him, and even accept the kneeling of all officials.
Jun Li Luo is really a lunatic.
Lust can blind one's mind. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a tyrant!
The King of Side by Side, right?... Screw your grandma's King of Side by Side!
Jun Tianyi was so angry that he smashed the jar of wine in his hand to the ground!
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and then someone came to report: "Master, the silver fox has been caught! It's still struggling now."
When Jun Tianyi heard this, a gleam of light appeared in his gloomy eyes.
"Very good, once you have put it in the cage, bring it to me."
…
The next day, the weather was warm and windy.
Jiang Rumin was leading everyone to pick herbs in the backyard when she heard the guards in the front yard hurriedly report: "Miss, Chief Steward Li has been ordered to deliver the imperial decree. Please go out and greet him!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rumin hurriedly walked towards the front yard with everyone else.
She guessed that it was probably His Majesty or His Highness who rewarded her with money and property.
Everyone knelt down respectfully, waiting for Steward Li to read out the imperial edict.
Manager Li spread out the imperial edict with a smile on his face and read slowly:
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Fu Jiangru, the daughter of Sixian Hall, is loyal, upright, gentle, and of noble character, and has brought benefits to the people. I hereby grant her the seal of the imperial decree, confer the title of Princess Duanhui, grant her the fief of Nan County, and grant her a Princess's Mansion. I decree this."
Jiang Rumin: “……!”
