Chapter 926 You Can Rely on Me
When Xiao Lanyuan heard Fu Zhaoning's smile, he felt that what she was about to say would not be good.
"What?"
"Create a puppet emperor, and then you can be the regent. This way you don't need a harem of beauties, and you don't have to be suppressed all the time."
Xiao Lanyuan simply covered her mouth.
"I've never met a person as brave as you who dares to say anything."
“Mmmm—” Didn’t you say that first?
Xiao Lanyuan understood what she meant.
"Well, I am the rebellious and daring one. Who knew you were bolder than me?"
He always thought that he was the only one who dared to talk nonsense.
Fu Zhaoning chuckled.
The two joked around for a while.
Xiao Lanyuan got down to business again, "An Nian said you wanted to buy medicine from Tongfu Pharmacy?"
"He even told you that?"
Fu Zhaoning pulled his hand away. "It would be better to buy from the Medicine Alliance, but Second Senior Brother has already transferred the necessary herbs to the nearby branches of the Medicine Alliance. If we want to find more, we have to look for them in places farther away. But there is also the Tongfu Pharmacy in Zhecheng, Beijing, and we haven't looked for it yet."
The master said that the head of the Situ family has a wolfish nature, and sometimes his methods are quite shady. He often goes against the Medicine Alliance and steals medicine.
Therefore, it is very likely that Tongfu Pharmacy has stockpiled a lot of medicinal materials.
"Master said that Tongfu Pharmacy had done this before, just to wait for an opportunity, to wait until the Medicine Alliance ran out of some medicinal materials. At this time, Tongfu Pharmacy could raise the price of the medicine and then sell the stockpiled goods."
This is what Mr. Ji said in a letter.
"Many of the medicinal herbs we need now are for treating colds and waterlogging. These herbs are needed every year during the cold winter and spring, and they are consumed in large quantities. So Master also guessed that Tongfu Pharmacy would have a lot of these herbs in stock."
This is also one of the reasons why Fu Zhaoning wanted to buy medicine from Tongfu Pharmacy.
"Master Situ is a man who will not do anything without profit. If you suddenly want to buy so many medicinal herbs from him, as long as he finds out that you are in Zhecheng, he will probably be able to guess the reason, and then he will raise the price."
Xiao Lanyuan also had some idea of what kind of person the head of the Situ family was.
He didn't have a good impression of the Situ family.
"That--"
Fu Zhaoning said one word and then shut up and didn't say anything else.
Xiao Lanyuan snorted, "Are you going to talk to Situ Bai?"
Fu Zhaoning smiled at him, showing a little bit of playfulness.
She did think about it, but only thought about it for a moment and had no intention of actually looking for Situ Bai.
It seemed that Situ Bai had angered the head of the Situ family because of his marriage before, and the head of the Situ family even sent people to forcibly take him back.
If she asked Situ Bai to help her get the herbs and lower the price, the head of the Situ family would definitely be even angrier.
Don’t let her make Situ Bai lose the qualification to inherit Tongfu Pharmacy.
She couldn't repay that kind of kindness.
So Fu Zhaoning just thought about it for a moment and immediately got rid of the idea.
"Really thought about it?"
"No, I won't discuss this deal with Situ Bai. It's not appropriate." Fu Zhaoning said quickly.
She's a clear-headed person, isn't she?
Hearing her say this, Xiao Lanyuan's brows relaxed.
"Leave the matter of the medicinal herbs to me. Just give me the list of herbs." Xiao Lanyuan said calmly.
He acted as if he was talking about a few steamed buns, making it sound as if it was nothing serious.
Fu Zhaoning sat up straight at once, "Are you serious? Do you know how many herbs are needed?"
"I don't know. I'll wait for your list. But no matter how many, if you want, I'll find it." Xiao Lanyuan gently pinched her chin and looked at her seriously. "I'm your husband. No matter what happens, I hope you'll think of me first."
He hoped that whenever she had problems or difficulties, she would think of him first and rely on him, instead of thinking of going around him and asking others for help.
"I think the matter of medicinal materials..." Situ Bai is in charge of this, so it might be more direct to go to him, so of course she subconsciously thought of Situ Bai.
But didn't she eventually overturn that plan?
However, she really didn't think of Xiao Lanyuan this time.
She was originally a member of the World Medicine Alliance, her senior brother was also here, and her master was also trying to find a solution. Fu Zhaoning felt that they would be more direct in finding medicinal materials than Xiao Lanyuan.
Xiao Lanyuan shook his head, "Ningning, most of the time, you still don't have a clear understanding of power."
While Fu Zhaoning was thinking about Xiao Lanyuan's words, Qing Yi and the others finally arrived.
The huge convoy stunned everyone.
Prefect You arrived here with a convoy. Dong Huanzhi and others went out to take a look and then hurried to report to Fu Zhaoning.
"Junior sister, come out quickly!"
"Doctor Fu, come quickly!"
"Sister Fu, there are so many cars, so many horses, and so many people!" The little girl ran over and knocked on Fu Zhaoning's door.
Xiao Lanyuan put on a mask and took Fu Zhaoning's hand.
"Let's go and see the first batch of medicinal herbs I brought."
Fu Zhaoning's eyes widened. "I thought you missed me so much that you rode on horseback to see me."
Xiao Lanyuan was amused by her words.
He said helplessly, "I received your letter and know that you are having a hard time here. What's the point of me coming here alone with nothing? If I can't help you at all, my coming here will only waste your time."
How could he do such a thing?
Is he going to come over and see her looking tired and worried?
“There are more than just medicinal herbs.”
"Ah? What else?"
Xiao Lanyuan led her to the gate.
Everyone saw them holding hands.
Ah He and the others were also very shocked and looked at Xiao Lanyuan curiously. At this time they couldn't quite react that this was Prince Jun.
Maybe it's because they have become familiar with Fu Zhaoning during this period of time and know what a good person she is, so the people around her seem to be more approachable.
But Xiao Lanyuan was wearing a mask, which made Xiao Ya a little afraid to look at him.
When Fu Zhaoning went out, she saw such a long convoy that she couldn't see the end of it for a moment.
"You, how much medicine did you bring?"
Fu Zhaoning was shocked.
"Quite a few."
At this time, the imperial doctors and physicians also got off the carriage, but they were still a little dizzy from the bumpy ride. They were brought to Xiao Lanyuan and Fu Zhaoning by the guards, and their mental state was still a little off.
But even so, Fu Zhaoning still recognized a few familiar faces.
Imperial physician?
The chief physician in the capital?
Why are they all here?
They did not come alone, and many of them brought their own pharmacist and medical apprentices.
So there are a lot of people!
"Meet Princess Jun."
Under the pressure from Prince Jun, everyone remembered to pay their respects to Fu Zhaoning properly when they met her.
