"Empress Li, any suggestions?"
The emperor noticed Concubine Li's actions and asked.
Concubine Li nodded slightly and walked into the hall.
The Queen, Concubine De, and the Eighth Prince followed in.
When Concubine Duan saw Concubine Li, she was so grateful that she was speechless.
He stepped forward and took Concubine Li's hand. He was about to speak, but then he heard Concubine De say:
"Sister, we'll talk about politeness later. Concubine Li seems to have some ideas..."
Concubine Duan quickly let go, wiped the tears from her face, and stood aside.
Concubine Li bowed and nodded, her eyes falling on the two bowls of medicine on the tray beside the bed.
One of the bowls was only half full.
It was the palace maid from the Imperial Medical Bureau who threw away the medicine in order to destroy the evidence.
Both bowls of medicine have not been touched.
Concubine Li walked over, picked up one of the bowls, and put it close to her lips...
Several people in the hall screamed in surprise.
"Empress Li!"
"My queen!"
......
Concubine Li smiled and shook her head. She was still breastfeeding her daughter, so of course she wouldn't take anything into her mouth.
What’s more, it is a medicine that is known to have problems.
He put his nose close to the medicine, shook it, smelled it carefully, and told the name of the medicine.
"Isatis root, isatis leaf, forsythia suspensa..."
In the same way, smell another bowl of medicine and report the name of the medicine:
“Ephedra, cinnamon twig, almond, licorice, white peony root, ginger, jujube, saposhnikovia, perilla leaf, platycodon.”
When they heard the second string of medicine names, not only the Emperor, Concubine De, the Eighth Prince, the Chief Medical Officer of the Imperial Hospital, and other imperial physicians showed expressions of surprise.
The judge of the Imperial Hospital bowed respectfully to Concubine Li and said, "Today, Concubine Li has opened our eyes.
Although, there are also imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital who can report the ingredients of the medicine by tasting the decoction...
But the second prescription was from an old minister, with many kinds of herbs, and the decoction was cold, so it was not easy to distinguish the nature of the herbs…
What's more, Concubine Li, without tasting it, could tell exactly what the medicinal ingredients in the prescription were just by smelling them...
"My Lady Li, you are truly admirable! From now on, I and others will need to continue to study medicine. Compared to you, my Lady, we are still far behind..."
After hearing what the judge said, the emperor, Concubine De and others had a more intuitive understanding of how powerful Concubine Li was.
The emperor was slightly surprised.
At this moment, Concubine Li did not say too much politely. She just said a few humble words and then explained to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean to show off. I checked the medicinal materials to confirm whether they dared to change the prescription at will...
Since the judge said that the medicinal materials match...
It's difficult for Shang Pharmacy. The main problem is that they sell inferior products as good ones and enrich themselves.
Although, the emperor got some clues and arranged for Eunuch Li to check the two closed herbal medicine shops...
But that may not be the case, as there are only those two herbal medicine stores involved.
This is the second use of your servant, Gan Gang, in identifying medicinal materials..."
The emperor and others looked at Concubine Li, the judge and the imperial doctors in confusion, as if they understood something.
"The medications used in Shang Pharmacy should be archived. We can investigate...
Which medicinal materials are used in the largest amount and have the highest value......
Following the clues, which herbal medicine store in Beijing has the most stockpiled goods...
Taking this as a clue, perhaps there will be new gains.
If the dosage of the Imperial Hospital was destroyed, we should be able to get some clues by checking the prescriptions and dosages from the Imperial Hospital."
The judge and the imperial doctors nodded repeatedly.
The emperor looked at Concubine Li again.
Not to mention her skills, her familiarity with medicines and their properties is so great that even the entire Imperial Hospital is ashamed of itself...
This calm analysis also impressed the emperor.
Concubine De also had a feeling of getting to know Concubine Li again.
I always thought she was just a gentle little white rabbit, who didn't like to fight and didn't care about anything...
Apart from being beautiful, if she hadn't given birth to a little princess, it can be said that she would have no sense of existence...
Although, Concubine Li's beauty alone cannot be ignored...
The emperor did not delay and immediately sent the Eighth Prince to the Shang Pharmacy to check the types and quantities of medicinal materials used...
At the same time, the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau was asked to take people back to count the prescriptions issued, including the types and quantities of medicinal materials involved.
The queen was holding Jun Baozhu in her arms and had been in the side hall.
Jun Baozhu had learned from Huo Feng that her mother had made great contributions...
According to Concubine Li's reminder, the emperor not only found out the types and trees of medicinal herbs used the most in Shang Pharmacy, but also sent someone to inform Eunuch Li...
Another five medicine stores in Beijing were sealed off, and related matters are being investigated.
At the same time, it was also discovered that Shang Pharmacy not only falsified the medicinal materials, but also inflated the quantity of medicinal materials used and embezzled the price difference.
After hearing the latest gossip, Jun Baozhu wondered:
[Huh? Why haven't I heard before that my mother is so powerful? ]
[You know so many medicinal herbs? ]
The queen frowned slightly.
