The New Year is approaching, and the palace is very lively this year.
Unlike previous years, this year's New Year's goods are particularly eye-opening.
Glowing mushrooms, ginseng with long legs, and giant animals.
Just as Xiao Li said, all things in the world have acquired spiritual energy and can become spirits. Although they have not yet reached the point of speaking human language, the initial signs of this are already apparent.
This slight change was soon noticed by the common people. They thought they had caught some rare treasure, so they took it to the government office to ask for a reward, and then it was sent all the way to the capital as a tribute.
This year's capital city has become a gathering place for exotic animals and plants.
Everyone was able to see all kinds of strange and bizarre things, which was really an eye-opener.
Xiao Li asked Cen An and Ning Can to identify it and eat whatever was edible. The mutation was not poisonous, but caused by too much spiritual energy. As long as it was not poisonous and used properly, it would be a good medicine.
The Imperial Medical Service is teeming with talented individuals, and Xiao Li actually doesn't need that many imperial physicians. Six years ago, she had specially built a large specialized hospital with no barriers to entry, so that the common people could also seek medical treatment and medicine.
Cen An and Ning Can, one in charge of internal medicine and the other in charge of surgery, were appointed as the deans of the East and West Colleges. On weekdays, they had to go to the academy to teach, write books, and teach students. When they had time, they had to manage the hospital and be summoned by the empress.
The Empress is already very busy, and now she has come up with so many weird things.
Although they are top-quality medicinal herbs, they have all mutated. Each one needs to be re-studied. Isn't this going to cost them their lives?
The most important thing is that these herbs are either poisonous, unexpected, and have no antidote, or have long legs. A group of medical students are forced to exercise and are in chaos all day long.
After a few days, Cen An felt like his waist was about to break.
"No, I have to rest for half a day, otherwise I will be exhausted to death."
Although Cen An and Ning Can were at the same level in the East and West Courts, they had a very good relationship and had no intention of competing with each other.
Who made us have such an inhuman empress?
We are all like cattle and horses being exploited by the empress. Now that we have a brother who shares the same suffering as us, we can't even laugh secretly. Who would want to be hostile to him?
Ning Can was still looking at the medical records. The results of the drug experiments had come out in the past two days, and he was very interested in several of the herbs.
Hearing Cen An's wailing, he pushed up his glasses and looked over. "This ginseng essence is dozens of times more effective than normal ginseng. Besides prolonging life and strengthening the body, it should have other benefits. If we continue to develop it, we might be able to create the legendary elixir."
Ning Can's eyesight was not very good, which was fatal for him who was good at surgery. He once thought about resigning from his position as the head of the West Court to the empress.
But the empress didn't say anything. A few days later, she made a pair of glasses and handed them to him. He could see the world clearly again.
Empress: Such a great talent, you want to run away? That's absolutely impossible.
Ning Can: The empress specially researched glasses for him. There is no other monarch in the world who is as good as her. I want to repay her well.
Standing at different angles, one sees different things, but no matter what, both sides are very satisfied, and the king and his subjects are happy.
So Ning Can had no complaints towards the empress, only gratitude. The empress also said that these medicines might be able to completely restore his eyes, and he was very interested.
Cen An, who has seen through everything, said: ...One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, but he is the enemy.
In fact, he was unwilling to let Cen An leave.
The empress gave him a very brilliant life. His medical skills were fully supported by the empress. The money, medicinal materials, and venues were all unique. He was able to devote himself to medicine, cure diseases and save lives, and promote medicine to its full potential, gaining both fame and fortune.
This is the highest achievement of a doctor.
But he just has a rebellious nature and wants to complain.
He worked while complaining, and was unhappy about being oppressed, but if he was abandoned by the empress, he would probably be very painful.
So he is in a state of confusion, discomfort and awkwardness every day, and he can't really explain clearly what he wants.
I remember what Song Junzhan said many years ago, that he didn't put his position right.
He was a minister, but he did not completely consider himself a minister. Instead, he wanted to treat the empress as a friend.
But no one can become a pure friend of the empress. Even Song Junzhan and others were subjects first and then lovers.
Cen An couldn't figure it out, so he could only complain and continue living in awkwardness.
Of course, he could only complain privately, and more often than not, he thought about it in his heart. He didn't dare to go before the Empress. After all, if the Empress smiled, his life or death would be in jeopardy.
"Lord Cen, Lord Ning, and Lord Feng are here."
A servant's announcement came from the door. Cen An immediately stood up, his face full of curiosity: "There must be something new coming."
Feng Yin's power belongs to wood, and he has a natural attraction to the essence of plants and trees.
If he goes out for a walk, a bunch of long-legged plants will find him without you having to look for him. What a magical physique he has.
Ning Can had just put down the medicine case when Cen An had already gone out. His anxious look made it impossible to tell that he had been lying half-dead just now.
Ning Can had nothing to say to this friend who said one thing and meant another.
If he were a little more honest, he might know why he felt so awkward.
After all, he knew only too well the desire to gain the recognition and attention of His Majesty.
-----------------
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Feng Yin rushed in and grabbed Xiao Li's hand. His cheeks flushed with excitement, and his eyes sparkled. "Your Majesty, can you accompany me to a place?"
Xiao Li didn't care, as she wasn't busy anyway. But Feng Yin's excitement made her curious.
"Where are you going?"
Feng Yin didn't say anything, but pulled Xiao Li away.
He took Xiao Li out of the palace and prepared horses at the palace gate.
"Your Majesty, I may need to leave the city and go to the manor. Is that okay?"
Xiao Li had no objection, and there was no one in this world who could threaten her.
"Let's go."
The two men rode out of the city, and Yang Jun's guards followed from a distance.
The place Feng Yin was referring to was a villa under his name. He personally supervised the construction and also invited Xiao Li to visit several times.
This time, he redecorated the manor.
It was already dusk when they set out from the palace, and when they arrived here, the last ray of light had completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
Feng Yin took Xiao Li to the hillside behind the manor. The flowering vines formed an arched bridge corridor and sealed the entrance tightly.
Feng Yin took Xiao Li's hand and walked over. The vines automatically retreated, revealing the scenery that had been deliberately concealed.
The flowers, emitting a cold light, spread all over the ground, as if he had caught the stars in the sky and hidden them here.
This flower is very strange. The whole process from the emergence of flowers, expansion, blooming to withering takes only a quarter of an hour.
But after one flower withers, another one soon blooms next to it.
Twinkling, it looks more like the stars in the sky.
