Jie Yu only used one silver coin to buy two sets, more than a dozen cups.
It's just over one or two taels of silver.
Jack paid for it.
As Yu Zheng said, it is not expensive.
However, the dishes that Jack brought with him to Wei this time were sold at a very high price, and were snapped up by the noble families in the capital.
Emperor Qi was glad that Yu Zheng used her medical skills in exchange for this technology.
Yu Zheng took a fancy to those perfume bottles and wished she could use them to store her pills.
When this technology matures in Da Wei, she can use it to install it.
After strolling for a day, I continued strolling the next day, but this time I didn't walk, but took a horse-drawn carriage.
After appreciating the local customs and culture, Emperor Qiyi concluded that the people's lives were much worse than those in the Wei Dynasty.
Early that morning, Yu Zheng was preparing the medicinal materials needed to treat the king in the embassy.
She planned to prepare it specially for the king according to his condition.
She had learned about the king's illness before setting out, and had a guess. The medicine she brought was more suitable for his condition. She made it into pills so that their doctor would not notice anything.
She knew that at that time, there was no traditional Chinese medicine in Esteria, and herbal medicine was rarely used, so this was a huge market.
She could bring her pill business here, or to other countries along the way.
She carefully ground several herbs into powder and mixed them in specific proportions.
Shangguan Ziqi stood by and helped her disinfect the silver needle.
"The bishop's expression when he left that night made me think more," Yu Zheng whispered, "I always feel that he will do something bad to us."
Shangguan Ziqi snorted: "If he dares to touch a hair on your head, I will make him regret being born into this world."
Yu Zheng smiled and shook her head.
"My dear, this is someone else's country, we must be careful.
But I guess the bishop will definitely find a way to stop me from continuing to treat the king.
As for how he will stop it, it is hard to say.
I have a few guesses.
The most direct way is to tamper with the king's medicine.
Let the king's condition worsen, and then say that I am a quack doctor with a false reputation, and ask the king to stop treating me and drive us out of Esteria."
A sly look flashed in her eyes as she said this: "But I have made some preparations."
She took out a small porcelain bottle from the bottom of the medicine box. "Look, this is my special antidote pill, which can neutralize most common poisons. I will find a chance to let the king take one today, just in case."
Shangguan Ziqi nodded approvingly and was about to say something when his ears moved: "Someone is coming."
A moment later, Jack came in.
"Your Highness, the King has sent someone to take you to the royal court."
Yu Yuzheng packed her things and Shangguan Ziqi carried her medicine box.
The king sent his chief personal guard to pick him up personally, which shows his recognition of Yu Zheng's medical skills.
It is estimated that after the acupuncture that day, he felt obvious effects.
Along the way, Yu Yuzheng noticed that there were many monks in black robes on the street. Their cold eyes followed the carriage, making her back feel a little cold.
At the gate of the palace, the chief imperial physician Heinrich "happened" to be waiting there.
He came forward and said, "Princess, His Majesty is ready. Please let me help you get the medicine box."
As he said this, he was about to take the medicine box from Shangguanziqi's hand.
But he dodged it easily.
Yu Zheng politely declined: "Thank you for your kindness, but my medicinal herbs need special care, so it would be better for my husband to do it."
A trace of anger flashed across Heinrich's eyes, but he still forced a smile: "Come on, come on. Please follow me."
The king's complexion has improved significantly today. When he saw Yu Zheng, he smiled sincerely: "Princess, these three days are the best nights of sleep I have had in more than a year. Your medical skills are truly miraculous."
"It is my honor to bring good sleep to your majesty."
Yu Yuzheng began the diagnosis after the ceremony.
When she turned to prepare the herbs, Heinrich took the opportunity to approach the medicine box: "Let me assist you."
"No need." Yu Yuzheng keenly noticed his unusual enthusiasm.
"The treatment process requires precise control. It would be bad if outsiders interfere." She noticed Heinrich's hand lingering suspiciously near the medicine box and became more alert.
Shangguan Ziqi also kept an eye on him all the time, and he had long noticed that there was something wrong with this man.
Heinrich took a step back in annoyance.
Acupuncture continued.
Shangguan Ziqi began to prepare the medicine he needed to take.
Put two pills in boiling water and drink it right after acupuncture.
Combined with acupuncture, the effect is even more obvious.
But when the acupuncture was halfway done, the bishop suddenly broke in with a group of monks.
"Your Majesty, I have an emergency."
The king frowned: "Why are you so anxious? Can't you see I'm receiving treatment?"
The bishop pointed at the silver needle in Yu Zheng's hand and said, "This woman is using witchcraft. The church will never allow such evil behavior to continue in the sacred palace."
Yu Zheng continued to perform acupuncture calmly: "Your Majesty, acupuncture is a medical skill that has been passed down in our Great Wei for thousands of years. It has nothing to do with witchcraft. You can feel it yourself. Is there anything evil about this treatment?"
The king felt the muscles in his neck gradually relax and shook his head. "Your Excellency the Bishop, you worry too much. The princess's treatment made me feel very comfortable. After the first treatment, I slept soundly for three nights."
"Your Majesty, that's why I said she was using witchcraft. In the past few years in Esteria, there have been countless doctors, and the doctors in the royal court are all talented people. None of them can cure your majesty's illness.
Don't you find it strange that this foreign woman can make you sleep peacefully as soon as she comes? I strongly suspect that she has cast a spell on you that we are not aware of. God will punish her."
At this moment, Albrecht rushed in: "Your Majesty, we found suspicious items during the search of the embassy."
Shangguan Ziqi took a step forward and said, "How dare you search the embassy without authorization?"
The bishop sneered: "According to the religious law of our Kingdom of Astraea, when heresy is suspected, the Inquisition has the right to send people to search any place."
He turned to the king and said, "Your Majesty, they have evil spells in their possession and their intentions are clearly evil."
Yu Zheng's heart sank, and he realized that this was a frame-up on their part.
She thought quickly about what to do.
Shangguan Ziqi stood in front of her.
She didn't notice Heinrich quietly putting a paper package back into his sleeve.
I knew he had taken advantage of the chaos to do something bad.
An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she deliberately knocked over the medicine bowl: "Oh, my medicine!"
The medicine spilled on the ground and immediately took on an abnormal color.
Yu Zheng quickly took out a silver needle and dipped it into the medicinal juice on the ground. The tip of the needle turned black instantly.
"Your Majesty, please look," she held up the blackened silver needle, "someone just took advantage of the chaos to poison the medicine! If you take this medicine, your condition will get worse at best, or your life will be in danger!"
The king's face changed drastically: "What's going on?"
Shangguan Ziqi took the opportunity to attack, flashed beside Heinrich like a ghost, and grabbed his wrist.
The paper bag in the imperial physician's sleeve fell to the ground, with some residual white powder inside.
Yu Zheng shook the powder into an empty bowl, added a little water, and inserted a silver needle into it, which also turned black.
Exactly the same poison as in the medicine bowl.
Shangguan Ziqi said coldly, "I wonder why this imperial physician would poison his own king?"
