County Magistrate Han walked into the room tremblingly, only to see Old Man Han sitting on the ground making a fuss.
County Magistrate Han was frightened and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun. The two were sitting there drinking tea and watching Old Man Han act.
Upon seeing this, County Magistrate Han knelt down in front of Shangguan Lingyun and Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me. My father is not in his right mind and has offended Your Majesty and Your Majesty. Please, Your Majesty, please..."
County Magistrate Han really didn't know what to say, and Shangguan Lingyun looked at him with a smile.
"What does County Magistrate Han want me to do?"
County Magistrate Han hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain the reason. Shangguan Lingyun sneered for a long time and finally showed mercy.
"Han County Magistrate, why don't you first tell me the origin of this golden medal of immunity from death, so that I can see if it can offset what your father did?"
County Magistrate Han's back was soaked with cold sweat, but Old Man Han was still shouting beside him.
County Magistrate Han wished he could slap his crazy father to death.
"Your Majesty, when the Supreme Emperor personally led the expedition against Dayu, I had the honor of joining him on the battlefield."
"At that time, Dayu's army was so powerful that our Great Xia was defeated. During the retreat, Dayu shot a feather arrow."
"I happened to be behind the Retired Emperor. Seeing the arrow heading straight for him, I blocked it for him without a second thought."
"Afterwards, Dayu was defeated and the Emperor, in gratitude for saving my life, specially awarded me this golden medal of immunity from death."
Shangguan Lingyun frowned: "So, this gold medal is a reward for you?"
County Magistrate Han was speechless, but he was worried that Shangguan Lingyun would kill all nine generations of his clan because of Old Man Han's offense.
"Your Majesty, at that time, the Emperor only said that it was given to the Han family, and did not directly say that it was given to this humble minister, so..."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, "So, your father relied on this golden medal of immunity from death to bring disaster to the village, and now he even dares to speak rudely to me."
County Magistrate Han immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My father has gone insane since he received this gold medal."
"He talks nonsense all day long, and I originally wanted to keep him under house arrest."
"But for some reason, he said he knew the information about the herb that Your Majesty was looking for, and he insisted on meeting Your Majesty and the Queen."
"Of course I don't believe it, but I didn't expect that he would actually climb over the wall and run away at such an old age."
"I beg Your Majesty and Your Majesty to show mercy and allow me to take him back and keep him under strict supervision. I promise that I will never let him cause trouble again."
Old Man Han was unhappy and immediately refuted his son.
"You are the one who has lost his mind. I am fine."
"Dad, shut up."
Old Man Han was scolded by County Magistrate Han and immediately shut up in embarrassment.
Shangguan Lingyun looked at County Magistrate Han meaningfully, then looked at Old Man Han.
"Are you going out this time specifically to ask me and the Queen for some herbs?"
When Old Man Han heard this, he remembered the important matter.
"If Your Majesty hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it."
"Wasn't there an imperial edict posted saying that His Majesty was looking for herbs?"
When Ye Xiaoxiao heard the word "herb", she immediately looked towards Old Man Han.
"Why, do you really have news about medicinal herbs?"
Old man Han smiled triumphantly. Seeing him like that, County Magistrate Han wanted to slap him to death.
"Dad, don't be so presumptuous. This is the current emperor and the queen."
Old Man Han snorted coldly, "I know, they are the ones I'm looking for."
"That herb was discovered by the old man. However, the place where the herb grows is very hidden. No one except the old man can find it."
Ye Xiaoxiao understood in her heart. No wonder this old Han was so bold. It turned out that he thought he could control them.
"From the look of the old man, are you planning to make a deal with me and His Majesty?"
County Magistrate Han tugged hard at the corner of his father's clothes, but the old man looked up indifferently.
"I heard that this medicine can cure the poison of the emperor's eldest grandson and the little princess. Since the old man provided the herb, doesn't that mean he is the emperor's eldest grandson's lifesaver?"
Ye Xiaoxiao sneered and nodded, "Old man, do you also want to ask His Majesty for a golden medal of immunity from death?"
Old Man Han chuckled and then rubbed his hands.
"Forget about the golden medal of immunity from death. Our Han family already has one."
"Since my son can be rewarded for saving the retired emperor, then if this old man saves the emperor's eldest grandson and the little princess, won't he also be rewarded?"
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips, "What reward does the old man want?"
Seeing this, Old Man Han chuckled and said bluntly.
"Everyone wants power and influence, but I'm old, and it's useless for me to have those things."
"I only want one hundred thousand taels of silver, ten beauties, and a courtyard in the capital. That's enough."
Ye Xiaoxiao found it a little funny, but that was enough. This old man was truly ignorant and fearless.
There was a cold light in the corners of Shangguan Lingyun's eyes, but a smile on his face.
"You said you knew where the herbs were. How can we believe you?"
Old Han rolled his eyes and asked Shangguan Lingyun for paper and pen. Shangguan Lingyun nodded, and Wang Xiao asked the shopkeeper for some.
After the old man took the paper and pen, he began to draw the herbs he had seen.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look, is this the herb you were talking about?"
Shangguan Lingyun and Ye Xiaoxiao looked at it carefully. Although it was not quite the same as the original picture given by the system, the general details matched.
Moreover, the painting drawn by Old Man Han also showed the soil and terrain at the roots of the herbs, which was roughly consistent with the growth environment described by the system.
Ye Xiaoxiao concluded that this old man Han had indeed seen nothing.
