Chapter 85: Considering a Son-in-Law
Yichen returned to his previous indifferent look: "If I give you something, it's yours. You can use it however you like."
Ji Yunshu didn't expose his duplicity: "Thank you, Taoist Priest."
Yichen smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me? You spent so much money, it's impossible that you won't even hear a sound."
When Ji Yunshu heard this, he felt his chest tighten.
Yichen was right. These days, all kinds of materials were being sent to the farm continuously, and she really spent money like water.
Of course, the research was not only on gunpowder, but also on fertilizers.
She even had the crazy idea of asking Yichen to develop penicillin.
After all, he is a doctor.
If this continues, she doesn't know how long the little money in her dowry can last.
Although Zhao Shen also invested money in it.
But if this continues, they will both become paupers sooner or later.
Making money has become an urgent matter for her.
Thinking that so much money was gone, she couldn't help but ask, "Any progress on other things?"
Yichen spread his hands and said, "What do you think, Madam? What you said is unheard of. For the time being, I can only try it out."
Ji Yunshu didn't hold out much hope: "I was too impatient."
Everything else is fine, but she is eager to develop penicillin because it will come in handy if war breaks out next year.
The father in the book did not die directly on the battlefield, but died from the infection of the wound after being injured.
It was because of this that his father had time to pave the way for Zhao Heng and let Zhao Heng take over his position.
This time, she would try her best to prevent her father from getting hurt, but if she couldn't, penicillin would provide an extra layer of protection.
Yichen saw that she was worried and said comfortingly, "Although I don't know what you want to do, if you can do what you said, countless people will benefit. I will do my best."
He used to stay in Taiqing Temple, trying to make elixirs when he had nothing to do and occasionally taking in a few homeless orphans. Although he lived a free and easy life, he knew that was not the life he wanted.
These days, staying at Ji Yunshu's farm, no matter what he did, Ji Yunshu supported him.
He will be given people when he wants them, and money when he wants it, and they will not interfere with what he does.
He becomes motivated whenever he thinks about how much impact his creations will have on the world.
After having lunch at the clinic, Xiao Yu came out of the palace. He handed a box to Yichen and said, "There is only one flower like this in the imperial pharmacy. The emperor was generous and gave it to me directly."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Thank you."
No matter who the emperor gave face to, the thing was taken by Xiao Yu after all.
Yichen took the flowers to prepare the antidote. Ji Yunshu sat by and watched, feeling strange.
If the person behind the scenes wanted to close her clinic and hired someone like this to poison her, why would he use a poison that could only be cured by the rare snow sunflower flower?
She asked Bai Ling, "Snow sunflowers are so rare. Apart from the one in the palace, where else can you find them?"
Bai Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either, but if Madam wants to know, I can check."
Ji Yunshu felt even more puzzled: "You mean, as long as we want to find out, we can find out?"
Bai Ling said, "Snow sunflowers only grow in snowy mountains and can only survive there. Their production is extremely rare. If you want to find out, it shouldn't be difficult."
"Then you can check who has this thing in the capital."
If the emperor in the book really became sick and died after smelling the spices made from snow sunflowers, the person who made the spices must be in the capital.
Ji Yunshu had a strange feeling that the person who caused her trouble seemed to be reminding her.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she felt that she was overthinking. Who would know that she had read the book and knew the cause of the emperor's death?
And the emperor is fine now.
With the use of snow sunflower as medicine, the man's poison was quickly cured, but he looked like he had a serious illness and looked extremely weak.
Yichen explained: "This is the consequence of using snow sunflower as medicine. Although it is slightly toxic, it is very harmful to the human body. It takes a long time to recover."
Ji Yunshu thanked him and asked him to prescribe a prescription for the patient's recovery.
Yichen smiled and asked, "You knew that his poison was strange and might have been designed to deal with you. For the sake of the clinic's reputation, you could have gone to the palace to find Xue Kuihua to detoxify him, but why did you help him recuperate?"
In the final analysis, as long as the person is alive, Ji Yunshu's troubles will be solved, and there is no need to waste time on keeping this person healthy.
Ji Yunshu glanced at the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed but his eyelids twitching uncontrollably, and said with a smile, "No matter what his reasons are, since he has entered my clinic, I must cure him."
After saying that, she got up and went out, and someone from Jingzhao Prefecture came.
They were the guards who had taken the woman and the young man away before.
When Ji Yunshu came out, the leader was talking to Xiao Yu.
Seeing her, Xiao Yu waved his hand and asked them to leave. He walked up to her and said, "The woman confessed. Someone gave them 20 taels of silver to cause trouble at the clinic. However, she said the man had his face covered, and she had no idea who he was."
This was all within Ji Yunshu's expectations. Paying someone to do such a small thing would hardly leave any traces.
"Let him go back."
Xiao Yu asked, "Is that all?"
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "What if I forget about it? If I can't find the person behind this, how can I take it out on the ignorant people?"
She was not without anger, but taking her anger out on a few ignorant people would not fundamentally solve the problem.
Xiao Yu said with a complicated expression, "Yu'er always says that you have a bad temper and never give in to her when you argue with her. It seems that she has been making trouble for no reason all these years and deliberately ruining your reputation. As her brother, I apologize to you on her behalf."
She could be so magnanimous towards a few ordinary people who were deliberately looking for trouble. If it weren't for her sister being too excessive, how could Ji Yunshu have quarreled with her?
Ji Yunshu: “…”
She didn't expect that her reputation could be saved in this way.
The original owner and Xiao Yue were of the same ilk, and their quarrel was real.
"Everyone is young and naive at times, and there's nothing wrong with Yue'er's personality."
She actually meant what she said. There was no shortage of people in the capital who liked to scheme against each other, and even the women in the harem were not easy to deal with.
The cute and silly Xiao Yue is a breath of fresh air among these people.
Speaking of his sister, Xiao Yu felt a bit of a headache: "My family spoils her too much. What will happen when she gets married in the future?"
He actually didn't think there was anything wrong with his sister's personality, but girls have to get married after all.
Who else can indulge his sister like his parents and him?
Ji Yunshu thought of Lan Ting and felt that it would be good if this couple really got together.
At least, it's better than letting Xiao Yue marry and die tragically in Mobei.
She smiled and said, "Since you dote on her so much, the prince might consider finding her a son-in-law."
The requirements for a son-in-law who lives with the family are not that high. If the truth about Concubine Lan can be found out, the Lan family can be vindicated.
By then, Lan Ting's status will be worthy of that of a lady from a prince's mansion.
I just don't know if he can save face for Xiao Yueshe.
