These words were spoken.
The clinic was so quiet you could hear someone breathing.
Yan Xia was also stunned.
emperor?
Depend on!!
Damn it, you should have said so earlier!
She can't save a stranger, but she can save the emperor.
This is a lifesaver, and who knows, it might bring me wealth and glory in return!
Yan Xia couldn't hide her joy.
"Your Majesty?"
The old doctor asked in a trembling voice.
The Imperial Guard stood up, knowing they didn't believe him, so he took out his token from his waist.
The character "锦" (jin) was written in large characters on it.
"I am a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard under the Emperor's command, and I only obey His Majesty's orders. His Majesty came to Jiangnan incognito after the New Year, but was ambushed. We suffered countless casualties, and the two imperial physicians he brought with him also died. We really have no other choice. His Majesty must not be harmed. If something happens to him, the world will be in chaos!"
The token was issued.
Everyone in the clinic knelt down.
Including Yan Xia.
“But, but this kind of poison is something I’m helpless against. The person who poisoned him wanted to make the Emperor suffer endless torment, and there’s no cure for it! Thousand-year-old ginseng is just a legend; no one in the world has ever seen it. Even if you search every mountain range, you won’t find it. Besides, there’s been a drought these past two years, and many plants have withered and died, let alone ginseng.”
The old doctor lay on the ground, speaking in despair.
Is there really no other way?
The Embroidered Uniform Guards actually knew this in their hearts.
Even the Imperial Medical Academy didn't have a thousand-year-old ginseng.
Where can they look?
It's just self-deception.
If the emperor were to pass away, they would also be doomed.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
"An Yi! Do not force it. As the Son of Heaven, I have failed. Heaven is punishing me; this is my destiny. My life is over. Your efforts to persuade the old doctor are useless. I only fear that after my death, Prince Kang will seize the throne, and the people will suffer terribly..."
Just then.
Emperor Yuanming, who was reclining in his armchair, spoke up.
His eyes were filled with tears.
His voice was extremely soft and hoarse, as if he were a dying person on his deathbed giving his final words.
"Your Majesty, this servant is useless!"
The two knelt down, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Wait, what if... I had a thousand-year-old ginseng?" Yan Xia whispered.
This greatly shocked everyone at the clinic.
"Do you know what you're talking about? I've never seen a thousand-year-old ginseng. Even if you have ginseng, it can't possibly be a thousand years old. It might be six or seven hundred years old, but if it's more than a hundred years older, then it's not a thousand-year-old ginseng and it's useless!"
The old doctor's tone was a bit harsh, but Yan Xia shrugged and didn't pay any attention.
"Whether it's a thousand-year-old ginseng or not, I'll get it for you to see, just wait."
After Yan Xia finished speaking, she turned and left.
Fifteen minutes later, she returned with a long box.
How long is it?
He was as tall as Yan Xia, like he was carrying a mobile coffin.
"Take a look."
She casually placed the box on the ground, gesturing for the old doctor to come and look.
The old doctor was surprised that Yan Xia actually brought it.
He walked over shakily and carefully opened the box.
The next second, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"It really is a thousand-year-old ginseng!! And it's at least 1,500 years old. My God, I haven't lived in vain. Look, this ginseng baby has already taken on human form. With its roots, it's almost as tall as me."
The old doctor carefully picked up the ginseng.
Excluding the roots, it's about the size of his arm.
Like a newborn baby, with its eyes tightly closed, it is incredibly lifelike.
The old doctor felt pain in his knee, but he didn't care.
The moment the old doctor saw the ginseng, his eyes welled up with tears, but he dared not let them fall, fearing that his tears would drip onto the ginseng and ruin this divine substance.
"Madam, please name your price."
The Imperial Guard reacted quickly, cupping his fists to Yan Xia and asking her to name a price.
Even if it were worth ten thousand taels of gold, it would be worth it.
The Emperor's life is more precious than anything else.
How could this filthy money compare?
"Priceless." Yan Xia uttered two words, causing the Imperial Guard's expression to tighten.
He thought Yan Xia didn't want to sell the ginseng and was about to persuade her again when Yan Xia knelt down in front of Emperor Yuanming.
"This ginseng, I will not sell, for I wish to offer it to Your Majesty! I have only one request: that Your Majesty, after detoxifying, execute all the corrupt officials in the land! May the people be able to eat their fill, live in peace and prosperity, and be free from the suffering of heavy taxes! May the people enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world!"
"I am but a humble merchant. I confess that I was unaware of Your Majesty's true identity earlier, and therefore had no intention of offering the ginseng. I obtained this ginseng by chance, intending to pass it down as a family heirloom. However, in my eyes, Your Majesty's life is more important than anything else. If Your Majesty were gone, what would become of my family? I beg Your Majesty to use the ginseng, and please grant my request!"
Yan Xia's words were all heartfelt.
It was precisely her sincerity and candor that impressed Emperor Yuanming.
"I grant your permission. I will restore a prosperous era to the world. As long as I live, I will definitely do it!"
Emperor Yuanming's words were not just a promise to Yan Xia, but more like a solemn oath.
"Now that we have ginseng, there's hope for a cure. I'll go and prepare it right away!"
The old doctor carried the ginseng to the backyard.
Yan Xia stayed for a while and then left with Magistrate Lu.
Now that we've already met the Emperor, why bother going to that Jiangnan County?
The two planned to personally present the high-yield rice seeds to the emperor after he was cured of the poison.
evening.
After drinking the antidote, Emperor Yuanming rested on a bed in the clinic.
