Xuan Le touched his nose awkwardly.
Xuan Tong rolled her eyes at Xuan Le speechlessly. Fortunately, Zhan Yihan was fine, otherwise she would have felt really sorry for him.
"Is this prescription sure to have no side effects?" Xuan Qing asked. If this prescription could really prolong life, he would like to try it.
"Yes." Xuan Le nodded. If there were side effects, the man's injuries wouldn't have healed so quickly. He seriously doubted that this prescription was for healing rather than prolonging life.
Xuan Qing nodded and shouted to the door, "Someone come!"
A guard walked in quickly, "Lord!"
"Go call Pharmacist Li over," Xuan Qing ordered. Since there were no side effects, he decided to try it himself.
"Yes!" the guard responded and retreated.
"Father, you don't want to test the medicine yourself, do you?" Xuan Le asked uncertainly. He was sure the prescription had no side effects, but his father was the ruler of a country, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to test the medicine himself.
"Yes." Xuan Qing nodded. If this prescription really had such an effect, it would be like a national treasure. Naturally, he couldn't let anyone else benefit from it.
"But I'm not sure if this medicine has that effect yet. What if its side effects don't show up until later? You should let someone else try it," Xuan Le advised. He couldn't let his father take that risk.
"No need to say more, I've made up my mind." Xuan Qing waved his hand, interrupting Xuan Le. He had made this decision after careful consideration. If this prescription truly had such efficacy, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Otherwise, it would likely bring disaster to the Liyuan Kingdom. He was aware of the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure.
"Yes!" Seeing Xuan Qing's determination, Xuan Le could only respond helplessly.
Pharmacist Li quickly arrived at the study, "Lord!"
Xuan Qing nodded and picked up the prescription on the table. "Pharmacist Li, have you seen this prescription?"
"Yes," Pharmacist Li nodded. He had secretly copied a copy and was having his father take it. He had already taken it for three days, and he would know the results in a few days. If it could really extend his lifespan, then he would have obtained a priceless treasure.
"Pharmacist Li, you are so bold! How dare you hide the prescription privately?" Xuan Qing slammed the table and shouted coldly.
Pharmacist Li trembled all over and quickly knelt down and said, "Lord...Lord, I didn't do it. I really didn't do it." He absolutely could not admit it, otherwise he would be finished.
"Come! Lock up Pharmacist Li and no one is allowed to visit him," Xuan Qing ordered outside the door. Even if there was no medicine, Pharmacist Li had already known the recipe since he had personally prepared it. This recipe must not be passed on before he had verified its efficacy, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Your Majesty!" Pharmacist Li wanted to defend himself but was dragged out by two guards.
Xuan Qing retracted his gaze and looked at Xuan Le and Xuan Tong, "Just pretend you don't know about this matter. Don't tell anyone."
"Yes!" Xuan Le and Xuan Tong responded simultaneously. They knew their father's temper. Once he made a decision, no one could change it. They hoped the prescription would actually work.
Zhan Yihan rode Bai Tian to the depths of the forest and looked at the endless green hills in front of him. "Is she here?"
Bai Tian neighed, as if answering Zhan Yihan's words.
Zhan Yihan patted Bai Tian's head and jumped off his horse. "Go back to your master and don't tell anyone else we are here."
Bai Tian rubbed his head against Zhan Yihan, gave him a reluctant look, and then turned and ran away. He liked the scent of Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue, which made him feel very comfortable.
