Zhang Ling kept his balance and did not fall.
When Duan Yong heard that there were no elixirs, he almost went crazy.
He absolutely cannot be without elixirs!
"You'd better think of a solution quickly. I absolutely cannot be without the elixir." Duan Yong squatted down and looked at Zhang Ling at eye level.
Duan Yong's hands tightly grasped Zhang Ling's shoulders, his nails almost tearing through his clothes.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will naturally find a way. However, there is one medicinal ingredient that is difficult to obtain."
Zhang Ling was referring to the placenta when a woman gives birth.
No other animal placenta can be used as a medicine. Only the placenta from a woman giving birth can be used as a medicine.
"What is it? I have to get it no matter what." Duan Yong's eyes turned red. At this moment, he felt heartburn. This was his body telling him that it was time to take the pill.
"Give me the pill!" Duan Yong shouted.
The young eunuch next to him was so frightened that he crawled to get the pill and handed it to him while lying on the ground and trembling.
After taking the pill, Duan Yong felt extremely comfortable and his mind seemed to be clearer.
"It shouldn't be difficult to find some people to collect placentas from pregnant women. If there really aren't enough, then we can only..."
Caesarean section to remove the placenta was something that the once wise ruler Duan Yong would never have thought of.
But now the only thing on his mind was the pill.
"Yes." Zhang Ling lowered his head, and Duan Yong couldn't see his expression.
………………………………
"Little Leo, go find some more pregnant women."
"This... the placentas of all the pregnant women who were due before have been removed. The remaining pregnant women have not yet reached their due date, so even if we call them, we can't remove the placenta." Little Leo asked in confusion.
"We don't need to wait until the due date. Have the secret guards capture some pregnant women who are over six months pregnant and perform cesarean sections to deliver the babies. We must be careful not to let anyone know that this is the work of the royal family."
"Yes!" Little Leo responded.
He felt a little depressed. Why were his jobs becoming more and more difficult?
It would be difficult to catch so many pregnant women at once without being discovered.
"Remember, don't let anyone find out that it was done by the royal family. Keep your hands and feet clean." Zhang Ling emphasized again.
After returning to Zhang Mansion from the palace, Zhang Ling has been in a bad mood.
I always feel like there is a feeling of pent-up anger in my heart.
While the court may appear calm, undercurrents are surging. As the most powerful official, Prime Minister Gu has always been feared by the Emperor. Gu Yunfei's last serious injury was a good opportunity to surrender his military power, but he has been hesitant to act. It seems he's reluctant to give it up!
Now all he needs to do is find Crown Prince Duan Yu and silence him, and then put the new crown prince on the throne. Then, the world will be his, Zhang Ling thought.
There was no movement from Wanhua Tower. Where had Shaoyao gone? And why had she sent a fake to him to take her place?
"Master, there's news from the Fu Mansion. Gu Yufei and Master Fu had a big fight. I heard that Master Fu has a hidden concubine at home." Secret guard Yifeng reported the intelligence he obtained from the investigation to Zhang Ling.
"Good, very good." Zhang Ling's eyes were sharp, and a sickly grin rose at the corner of his mouth.
Gu Yufei, Fu Xiuqi, just wait.
"Go and tell the Gu family that Fu Xiuqi has a concubine."
He really wanted to see what Gu Xiang would do after hearing that his beloved daughter was wronged?
"Yes, I will do it immediately."

The weather can be hot or cold.
Due to the return of the south wind, there is moisture on the walls.
Freshly washed clothes are difficult to dry and always have a strange smell.
