Chapter 436 I also make some candy
"With my current health, it's impossible for my concubines to get pregnant. Perhaps this is my retribution. I haven't been a good emperor in these few years on the throne."
"As for the Queen, if the ministers hadn't mentioned it yesterday, I really wouldn't have known that the Queen has been donating money to disaster relief for so many years."
"Tell me, where did she get so much money?"
The old eunuch sighed, his eyes filled with admiration, "I have also heard about the Empress's relief efforts for the disaster victims."
"I heard that the Empress reduced her palace expenses the year she entered the palace. The monthly allowance and the Emperor's occasional rewards, except for daily expenses and rewards for concubines and palace maids, were all converted into silver by the Empress to buy food and disaster relief."
"To be honest, in all these years, I have never seen a concubine who can do what the Empress does. She seems to not care about anything."
The emperor smiled bitterly: "It's not that she doesn't care about anything, she just doesn't care about me. Never mind, I don't have many days left to live anyway, so let her be. She has no children, so after I die, she still has to be buried with me."
Queen: Ugh! Who wants to be buried with you? I won’t die. Bury yourself.
"By the way, has the compensation to Da Zhou been delivered? How is it going? Did the Regent Princess have someone check it?"
The old eunuch replied, "The compensation was delivered yesterday. This morning, the Regent Princess sent someone to the palace to inspect it. I heard that they left the palace after the inspection was confirmed."
The old emperor breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, I can send this couple off. After they leave in a few days, I will arrange an assessment. After all, they are my own flesh and blood. The next crown prince will be chosen from among my princesses."
"Forget about the Third Princess. Although the people sent to investigate her background haven't found any results yet, I already know in my heart that she is not my own flesh and blood. I simply don't have the energy to deal with her right now. When the time comes, let her die with me. It's her blessing to be able to explore the way for me."
…
After Bu Ruo checked that there was no problem with the compensation, she had someone send her directly to the border, while she took the little girl back to the inn.
The little girl took her mother to happily find Jin Congcong to give him the dragon vein. From a distance, they heard the sound of chaos in the yard.
"You bastard! The precious medicine furnace that I spent the entire day searching for yesterday is actually with you!"
"Didn't I tell you that if you want to use a medicine furnace, you should buy your own? You're not allowed to take mine. My medicine furnaces are all heirlooms and rare treasures. Each medicine furnace can refine fixed things. You can't refine whatever you want with it!"
Jin Congcong shrank his neck as he looked at his master's furious expression: "Master, master, well... I know you are anxious, but don't worry, I will make it short, but it's a long story."
"Then don't say anything. Return my precious medicine furnace to me!"
Someone held the small black medicine furnace tightly in his arms and slowly backed away: "Master, listen to me, I didn't steal it, I borrowed it, but you weren't there when I went there, so I took it myself."
Doctor Du was so angry that he laughed: "Borrow? I've only been out once in the past few days. You deliberately borrowed it when I was away, right?"
"Alright, now I'm telling you, I won't lend it to you, so hurry up and return it to me, or I'll beat you to death!"
Seeing Doctor Du picking up the broom by the door, Jin Congcong ran away out of habit: "Old man, don't be too extreme. They are all your disciples. How can you be so partial? Bu Bu can use your medicine stove to roast melon seeds, why can't I!"
Doctor Du's beard was raised. "You...you stole my medicine furnace not to make medicine, but to roast melon seeds?"
Jin Congcong felt guilty and ran even faster: "Why would I borrow the medicine furnace if I'm not going to roast melon seeds? I don't know how to make medicine!"
"The melon seeds Bubu gave me when I entered the palace a few days ago were so delicious. I didn't eat enough and asked for more, but Bubu said they were out of stock."
"Later, I asked Bi'er if it was from Beining Palace, but Bi'er said that Bubu fried it herself using the medicine stove. When I came back, the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to make it myself."
"Well, I don't have a medicine stove, so I can only borrow yours. I even asked Bi'er, and she said that Bubu uses this black medicine stove to fry melon seeds! Why can Bubu fry it but I can't? You are so biased, old man!"
Doctor Du angrily swung his broom at him and said, "How dare you compare yourself to Bu Bu? How can you be the same as Bu Bu? Bu Bu is a genius, what are you? You are a fool who has been following the medical skills of the Godly Doctor for twenty years and still can't even recognize all the herbs!"
"And still competing with Bubu..."
Doctor Du walked over to the stone table and looked at the sunflower seeds that someone had roasted to pieces. He grabbed a handful and threw them at Bubu's head. "Bubu roasts sunflower seeds with several different herbs. He's researched everything himself, from the selection of herbs to the proportions. They're delicious, they reduce internal heat, and they roast them successfully in one go."
"Look at you again! Look at what you fried. If you didn't tell me it was melon seeds, I wouldn't be able to recognize it even if you killed me."
"Give me back the medicine furnace, and stop playing with my treasure!"
Jin Congcong ran away quickly, holding the medicine furnace. "No! I won't give it to you! I know that not only did you let Bubu use your ancestral medicine furnace to roast melon seeds, you also let her use it to refine sugar!"
"I'm going to beat you to death, you sugar refiner! I really hate myself for being soft-hearted and not cleaning up the mess, otherwise I wouldn't be so pissed off now."
Jin Congcong twisted his neck and said, "It's candy. Bu Bu gave it to me. It's white sugar beans with a milky taste. He also said that it was made in your medicine furnace, which is a green medicine furnace."
"If you want this black medicine furnace, that's fine too. Give me the green one so I can make some sugar. That sugar tastes good, too."
Doctor Du swung his broom in full force: "I'm going to beat you to death, you idiot! Is that milk-flavored candy? That's an anti-poison pill! I personally watched this pill being refined step by step!!!"
"I'm sure Bubu gave you one when you entered the palace, fearing you'd be ambushed. But you ate it like candy. Do you know how much that anti-poison pill is worth out there? All the silver you've saved since you were a child can't buy that one. Even if you sold yourself, it wouldn't be enough!"
Jin Congcong ran around holding the medicine furnace: "I don't believe it, it's obviously sugar. I heard that Bubu gave it to the Queen Mother and Bi'er and others to eat. You are biased and insist on saying it's an anti-poison pill. I will ask Bubu when she comes back. Bubu can't lie. As long as Bubu says it, I will believe it."
"I'm the great Little Divine Doctor Jin, how could I not tell whether it's candy or pills? You old man, you're just lying to me. You're biased, admit it or not!"
