Chapter 315
The stench didn't dissipate until half an hour later.
Yan Hui led people to burn incense everywhere, and only after making sure that there was nothing wrong did he send people to invite the emperor.
At this time, Xiao Jingfan was reading a book in Xie Jieyu's Yihe Palace.
He was still frightened by the "extreme stench" just now, so he told Chu Liuzheng to go over and take a look first.
Chu Liuzheng felt that this must be the boss's punishment for her not sharing the difficulties at that time.
Fortunately, it no longer stinks. The fragrance of flowers is everywhere, which smells quite nice.
A moment later, the emperor moved to the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace.
Concubine Shu had already come out carrying the princess, smelling of fragrant incense, like a walking human incense burner.
Chu Liuzheng tried to hold back his sneeze.
She glanced at Concubine Shu and the little princess, and found that in just a few days, both of them had lost a lot of weight.
Feng Jing and Qin Shu took turns taking the pulse of the two.
After a moment, Feng Jing said, "The cold marrow powder poison in the bodies of Concubine Shu and Her Royal Highness the Princess has been cured. They just need to take good care of themselves and replenish their damaged bodies."
He glanced at Qin Shu beside him and asked, "What does Doctor Qin think?"
Qin Shu hummed through her nose, not sure if she agreed or simply didn't want to pay any more attention to him.
Feng Jing was very happy to get a "hmm", so he invited Qin Shu to the side and discussed with Doctor Wu and others how to take care of the concubine and the little princess.
After confirming that the poison had been resolved, Concubine Shu finally felt relieved.
These days she couldn't eat or sleep well. She was worried that Feng Jing couldn't make an antidote, and she felt sorry for the little princess who had to endure acupuncture every day.
She looked forward to Feng Jing making the antidote as soon as possible every day.
Now it's finally better.
But it was obvious that she was happy too soon.
After Feng Jing discussed with the imperial physician, he came to her to fulfill his promise.
Shufei had not forgotten this matter. She had been thinking about what requests Feng Jing would make these days, but she did not know Feng Jing well, so she had no idea.
Now that he mentioned it, she smiled and said, "You saved me and the princess, so I should thank you. What do you want me to do?"
Feng Jing didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I want the Heavenly Lotus Fruit that is treasured by the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion."
Concubine Shu was secretly shocked. How did Feng Jing know that there were Tianlian fruits in the Duke of Ying's mansion?
Xiao Jingfan put down the teacup and asked curiously, "What is this Tianlian fruit?"
Concubine Shu was about to reply when Feng Jing spoke first, "Your Majesty, the Tianlian fruit is an extremely rare medicinal herb. Ancient texts record that it grows beneath icy cliffs where few people venture. It blooms and bears fruit every fifty years, and has the power to bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate."
Everyone gasped when they heard this.
It can actually bring back the dead and rejuvenate. Could this Tianlian Fruit be the peach grown by the Queen Mother?
"Does it really have such miraculous effects?" Qin Shu rarely took the initiative to talk to Feng Jing.
Feng Jing nodded in affirmation: "My master once saw with his own eyes an old woman who took the Heavenly Lotus Fruit and, after a good sleep, became rejuvenated and turned into a young girl of 28 years old."
Seeing it with my own eyes shouldn't be false.
Everyone looked at Concubine Shu. The Duke of Yingguo's Mansion was so well-kept that it actually had such a rare item that was not even available in the Imperial Palace.
Even Xiao Jingfan was surprised. He looked at Concubine Shu and asked, "Does the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion really have such a thing?"
"I haven't heard anything about this at home." Concubine Shu shook her head and looked at Feng Jing. "I wonder where Doctor Feng got the news from?"
"On the black market, a scholar told me." Feng Jing did not hide it, "The Heavenly Lotus Fruit was sold to the Duke of Ying's Mansion through him."
Xiao Jingfan asked: "Why didn't the scholar keep this heaven-defying item for himself?"
His question expressed the thoughts of everyone present.
That's a miracle drug that can bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate, yet they're willing to sell it!
How short of money must this be?
Feng Jing shrugged: "I asked him this question too, and he said he was happy."
Everyone: “…”
Xiao Jingfan had a hunch that this scholar was no ordinary person, so he asked, "What's his name?"
Feng Jing looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know the rules of the black market?"
Xiao Jingfan really didn't know, he had never been to the black market.
Except for Chu Liuzheng, who has a system, and the secret guards hiding in the dark, no one present has probably heard of the word "black market".
Feng Jing felt that it was quite stressful to explain the black market to an emperor, but he had to tell him since Xiao Jingfan was staring at him.
He tried to be vague, "Most black market transactions are done in secret. Sellers and buyers alike will try their best to conceal their true identities, preventing anyone from knowing them, lest they be murdered or robbed."
Xiao Jingfan raised his eyebrows: "Since you want to hide your identity, how do you know that the other party is a scholar?"
"Because he is wearing a scholar's robe." Feng Jing's mind flashed with the image of the other person wearing a white scholar's robe. Among the crowd of people in black robes and black masks, he looked like a glowing bead, not too conspicuous.
It seems to be saying to everyone, look here, I am here.
He was going to the black market to get medicinal herbs. Seeing the man's complicated attire, he thought he was a clueless young man who had been tricked into the market by someone with bad intentions. He went over to remind him, but he didn't expect that the other party did it on purpose.
He even had a set of reasons, saying that the more conspicuous the clothes were, the easier it would be to sell goods. He even enthusiastically introduced the things he sold to Feng Jing. He was a complete black market veteran.
Feng Jingshen felt that he had been tricked and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the scholar.
The scholar said that he smelled the fragrance of medicine on him, and in consideration of his previous kindness, he told him a top-secret piece of information related to medicinal herbs.
It was from that time that Feng Jing knew that there was a Tianlian Fruit in the Duke of Yingguo's mansion.
What does a miracle doctor want most?
Of course, they are all kinds of rare and exotic medicinal herbs!
He had the idea of buying it from the Duke of England's Mansion at that time, but he couldn't even enter the door of the Duke of England's Mansion.
The Duke of Ying's mansion was heavily guarded, making it difficult to steal... Pah! He had to find another way to exchange it for silver.
This puts the focus on Concubine Shu.
He tested the poison on himself to make the antidote, saving the Duke's precious daughter and precious granddaughter. It's not too much to ask for a Tianlian Fruit, right?
Feng Jing said, "The scholar said his last name was Wang, and his accent sounded like he was from the south."
"King?" Xiao Jingfan frowned and tilted his head slightly to glance at Chu Liuzheng beside him.
It's so abnormal!
After hearing about such a big thing as Tianlian Guo, how come this woman didn't have any feelings at all?
Chu Liuzheng is busy with the system, so please don't disturb him!
Feng Jing looked at Concubine Shu and asked with a smile, "I wonder when Her Majesty will send a message to Duke Ying to have the Heavenly Lotus Fruit delivered?"
Xiao Jingfan also looked at her.
Concubine Shu: “…”
Is it too late to regret now?
"I didn't know the Duke's Mansion had such a treasure. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding." Concubine Shu forced a smile. "I'll send someone to the Duke's Mansion to inquire first. If it really exists, I'll have someone fetch it."
Feng Jing would not fall for such an obvious excuse.
He shoved his hands into his sleeves and said, "The Duke of Ying's residence is not far from the Imperial Palace. Going back and forth, including talking and getting things, should take an hour longer. I'll wait here."
