"Su Cuihong is a very rare poison. Few people know about it, not to mention what the reaction after being poisoned is like. Not many people have seen it. Even if you can prove that this thing exists, people will not learn their lessons without experiencing pain. You should think carefully about the difference between the two." Xiao Moer analyzed it for him.
Hearing Xiao Moer's nonsense, Bei Yutang smiled.
With Xiao Moer's intelligence, it is impossible for him not to guess the reason.
Exposing it in advance will not bring down the Gu family, it will only alert the enemy.
She had taken great pains to make so many effective creams just to force Gu Pianran to take the risk and use a large amount of Su Cuihong. In this way, the poison would take effect earlier instead of waiting until two years later.
She couldn't wait two years.
The Gu family's sale of poisonous creams and rouges made the people of Chang'an disgusted with them. Throughout the Southern Tang Dynasty, every wealthy family would buy some of the Gu family's rouge and powder.
Almost all the ladies in the palace had Gu's rouge and powder. After learning that these things were poisonous, they were worried that their faces would be covered with pimples, and they hurriedly asked Doctor Xuan to treat them.
It's just that there are too few toxins in their bodies, so they won't break out. But the toxins are hidden in their bodies. How can the ladies in the palace tolerate this?
Upon hearing that the successor of the Valley of Divine Medicine was in Chang'an City, he immediately sent someone to summon him into the palace.
"Detoxification is your strong point. I will report to the Empress in the palace and ask them to summon you into the palace." This was Xue Qian's first reaction.
"No. You are the successor of the Valley of Divine Doctors. They believe you, not me. This is the prescription to cure the Su Cuihong poison. Please present it to the Queen." Bei Yutang kindly handed the prescription to Xue Qian.
"This prescription is yours, so you should take the credit." Xue Qian said stubbornly.
"Xue Qian, do you still remember whose servant you are and whose orders you should obey?" Bei Yutang asked.
Xue Qian shut his mouth obediently this time.
Xue Qian entered the palace with the prescription.
Little Moer looked at her mother and said, "Mom, if you release this prescription, the Gu family will go bankrupt."
He had read the prescription his mother had written, which contained several valuable herbs, all of which were extremely expensive. In reality, those herbs could have been added or not, but his mother had included them. The medicine, which originally cost only two hundred coins, now cost over fifty taels.
Gu had promised to cure those disfigured women. To cure them, each person would have to spend at least a hundred taels of silver, not to mention that many people returned the goods. If the compensation was paid in this way, all the wealth of Gu's family would be lost.
The Gu family's predicament was actually more complicated than Xiao Moer had imagined.
Previously, she wanted to take advantage of Lei's suspension of sales to quickly seize the market, and invested a lot of money to buy a lot of materials. Now that this happened, these materials are useless and can only be resold.
However, those who come to buy always push the price down to the lowest level, leaving them with nothing but money.
The Gu family sold a large number of shops and land to fill the gap in money.
"Madam Mu, what do you want from me?" Ever since Shopkeeper Qin recovered from his injury, he has been completely following Bei Yutang's lead.
"The Gu family is selling their shops and farmland. Find an unrelated person and buy them all at the lowest price. Take these banknotes."
Shopkeeper Qin was shocked when he saw the thick stack of banknotes in his hand.
