Chapter 42 Don't Give Her Things
Fu Zhaoning was also a little confused for a moment.
She actually hadn't paid much attention to it before. She just thought that Prince Jun looked much younger than the emperor, and the two of them looked a bit alike. In addition, the emperor's tone when speaking to Prince Jun was a bit friendly and kind, like an elder (of course, it could be that he was pretending), so she thought he was a prince.
Unexpectedly, he is the prince's uncle!
Could this be the reason why Xiao Yanjing didn't dare to mess with him? His status was too high. Prince Jun was an elder to Xiao Yanjing, even though they were of similar age.
"You don't even know his identity, so you probably don't know that he was actually outside the palace before he was two years old? I heard that before he was brought back to the palace, he was very weak, and there were rumors that this prince might not survive. Later, he was poisoned again in the palace."
"Poisoned?"
"Well, it seems to have happened when he was a few years old. It was said that the incident was quite serious. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the entire palace. At that time, there was a banquet in the palace, and there were many ministers' families there. They were all kept in the palace for a day and a night for investigation."
When Old Man Ji said this, he lowered his voice and said, "A lot of people died. After that incident, Prince Jun's health became even worse. The reason I know this is because the imperial physician in the palace also found the Medicine Alliance and wanted to find medicine for Prince Jun."
"They gave the palace medicine once, but later Prince Jun's men found the Medicine Alliance again, this time wanting more rare medicinal materials. Wow, the list is so long!"
Mr. Ji stretched out his hand and compared, clicking his tongue twice.
"How can it be so easy to find all those medicinal herbs? The Medicine Alliance found a few for him, and they are still looking for the rest. It has been more than ten years. This is one of the few transactions that the Medicine Alliance has not completed in such a long time."
Having said that, he looked at Fu Zhaoning again and smiled triumphantly.
"This is a secret within the Medicine Alliance. Outsiders cannot tell it. Now that you have heard it, you can only be a member of our Medicine Alliance."
Fu Zhaoning was speechless for a moment.
Is this possible?
They didn't continue chatting because Doctor Wang had already finished examining Old Master Fu's pulse and came out.
However, he looked at Fu Zhaoning with an embarrassed expression.
"Doctor Wang, just tell me directly." Fu Zhaoning said.
"The old man's health is already declining. He must have worked hard for many years, and he has accumulated a lot of old diseases. His qi and blood are depleted. His stomach and lungs are injured to varying degrees. His liver and gallbladder are not in good condition, and his spleen is weak. He was injured in the past and never recovered. So all these accumulated, this..."
With every word Doctor Wang spoke, Mr. Ji's face turned darker.
He looked at Fu Zhaoning worriedly.
"Princess Jun, please spend more time with the old man." Doctor Wang made this conclusion while trembling.
"So, you're saying that my grandfather is incurable?"
"This..." Doctor Wang didn't dare to say any more.
Fu Zhaoning waved his hand, "Thank you for your help, Doctor Wang. I pressed these acupoints for Grandfather just now."
She gave Doctor Wang a brief account of the incident, and the more Doctor Wang listened, the brighter his eyes became.
"Great, great! This technique can quickly calm down an emotionally agitated patient. There are also several acupoints that can help relax and help sleep. I didn't expect that there are also several acupoints that are purely for comfort! It's really great to use it here! It's just the pressure."
"The force of the compression should be adjusted appropriately based on the specific situation and the specific patient. This requires time, practice and observation."
Fu Zhaoning didn't say much. She told Doctor Wang all this because she had just agreed, and Doctor Wang's medical skills were actually quite good. He described Old Master Fu's condition in detail.
Now Fu Zhaoning also knew that since Doctor Wang was chosen by Mr. Ji, his medical skills should be considered good in the capital.
But Doctor Wang couldn't cure my grandfather.
But she can.
After learning her method, Doctor Wang wanted to study it in detail, so he said goodbye to them and left the Fu family with the medicine boy.
Elder Ji was afraid that Fu Zhaoning would feel bad, so he comforted him, "My disciple, don't be too sad. If it doesn't work, we can just use medicine to support your grandfather! Whatever medicine you want, I will go back to the Medicine Alliance and get it for you!"
"Do you want to pay?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
"Well.."
Mr. Ji suddenly looked embarrassed.
"Well, I am an elder in the Medicine Alliance, but the Medicine Alliance has its own rules. If we buy herbs from our own people, we can get a 20% discount, but we still have to pay for them."
The herbs she wants are not cheap.
Fu Zhaoning had no intention of taking advantage of the Medicine Alliance, and she didn't have that much money, so she still had to rely on herself to collect herbs and make medicine and then slowly maintain it.
"Otherwise, I will go back to find the leader of the alliance. He may know what the relationship between the Fu family and Prince Jun was back then. The leader of the alliance stayed in the capital during those years." said Old Ji.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Master."
"You're welcome. What did you call me?" Old man Ji suddenly opened his eyes wide and became excited.
"Master, didn't you say you would accept me as your disciple?" Fu Zhaoning blinked.
She was tempted by what Mr. Ji said just now, that she could make up a reason to deceive everyone for her sudden medical skills. Moreover, she really wanted to learn from Mr. Ji about the medicinal materials in Zhaoguo.
Learning never ends, and she shouldn't be too proud and think that she is better than everyone here.
"Hahaha! Okay! Master will pack up right away and go back to the Medicine Alliance to find out for you!"
Old Ji was so happy that he didn't care about anything else. He now wanted to go back to his own medicine garden, pick out some medicinal herbs that Old Master Fu could use, and send them to his little disciple!
Old Master Fu is so ill, we can’t delay!
Mr. Ji ran away in such a hurry.
Fu Zhaoning didn't even have time to ask more questions.
The other branches of the Fu family were quiet and no one bothered Fu Zhaoning again.
"Miss, they may be planning something bad." Xiao Tao was very worried.
Fu Zhaoning frowned, "I'll get you some things to protect yourself these days."
"Miss, are you not going back to Prince Juan's Mansion?"
"Return?"
Fu Zhaoning was in a daze for a moment. This was her home. In Prince Jun's Mansion, she was just a temporary guest. The word "return" was not appropriate.
Moreover, if she keeps the title of Princess Jun, Prince Jun will be able to get the things from the retired emperor. It should not be important to him where she is.
Maybe when this is over, Prince Jun will want to divorce her.
stop?
That's wishful thinking. If we have to separate, it should be a peaceful divorce.
Fu Zhaoning asked Xiaotao to get some fodder to feed the horse, and she returned to her yard. It was the first time she entered Miss Fu's boudoir.
The house is a bit shabby, and the furniture and decorations seem to be quite old and of ordinary style.
The Fu family was once prominent, and no one knows how it fell into such decline.
Fu Zhaoning took the medicinal materials, closed the door, went into the pharmacy, and started making medicine for his grandfather.
What she didn't know was that after listening to Doctor Li's words, the Queen also became greedy for her purple ginseng.
"Even if Fu Zhaoning passes the test, those herbs should be returned to the national treasury. They were originally used for the test and do not belong to her personally."
"The Queen is right."
Doctor Li nodded vigorously.
The emperor was feeling depressed and asked the eunuch beside him, "When will the emperor's people go to Prince Jun's mansion?"
He also wanted to see what his father had left for Xiao Lanyuan!
