The expectant smile on the face of the imperial physician, who was originally waiting for the reward, froze instantly.
Amidst his terrified expression, the emperor drew out the long sword that had been polished to a shine and swung it down fiercely.
With a scream, the guards outside the hall rushed in and found an imperial physician lying in a pool of blood, with a brown pill rolling beside him.
The emperor glanced at him coldly, "While he still has a breath left, hurry and save him!"
After the imperial physician was dragged away, the palace maids came forward and began to wipe the floor. After cleaning quickly, the floor was still clean, as if no one had ever fallen there.
The palace maids left the hall, a palace maid quietly left, and then a carrier pigeon flew out.
The carrier pigeon flew to an inn, and then someone quietly walked out of the inn and delivered the message to the Prince's Mansion.
"Prince, there's a letter coming from the palace via carrier pigeon!"
Jing Yuchen reached out to take it and glanced at it.
"Another imperial physician injured!"
After nightfall, everyone in the imperial physician's house rested, even the wife who was guarding the imperial physician was taking a nap.
After the smoke was blown in, the lady soon fell into a deep sleep. Then the door of the room was opened, and a man in black walked in. He came to the bedside and began to use his internal energy to treat the wounds of the doctor.
This went on for several days, and the other doctors originally thought that this doctor was beyond help, but he miraculously got better.
When the emperor heard the news, his expression was filled with unconcealable joy.
The palace attendant standing by said, "Your Majesty, congratulations! The imperial physician only took one pill of that medicine, and it worked! This shows that if it is taken once a month, it will surely bring the dead back to life and grant immortality!"
The emperor had originally thought so in his heart, and the eunuch's words hit the nail on the head.
"Okay, then let the doctors make it without any worries!"
He happily sat back on the dragon throne, ready to give a generous reward to the entire Imperial Hospital.
The imperial doctors were indeed relieved to learn that the prescription was accurate, but the medicinal materials used in the pills were more expensive than the last, and the cost was too high!
All of a sudden, the medicines in the palace were used up, so they had to go to the city to buy them, which caused prices to rise. Many other families wanted to buy them, but they couldn't even if they had the money.
Another rumor started spreading in the city. It was that the emperor was refining elixirs and had emptied the national treasury. He also wanted to plunder the major pharmacies in the city, causing a shortage of medicinal materials. Many people died because they could not buy life-saving medicines!
Someone reported the matter to the emperor, but the emperor didn't care much and ordered people to continue collecting medicinal materials without asking the price.
On this day, Ni Yueshan was playing chess seriously with Zou Yangyao, but unexpectedly someone took Zou Yangyao's chess piece and helped him make a move.
Ni Yueshan frowned and looked at the person who came. He was about to teach him a lesson, but when he saw who the person was, he looked at him in surprise for a long time.
When Zou Yangyao saw that it was Jing Yuchen, his expression was complicated, but after some hesitation, he turned around and left.
Ni Yueshan frowned: "Why are you here..."
Jing Yuchen was wearing a crescent-white robe, and there was a hint of nonchalance on his evil face.
"Now my father is crazy about making medicine and has no time to stare at this prince every day!"
He stared at the chessboard and urged, "Go ahead!"
Ni Yueshan's gaze fell on the chessboard again, and he followed Jing Yuchen to play chess seriously.
After Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan exchanged a few moves, he was a little surprised: "Your chess skills have improved a lot! It seems you have been very free recently!"
Ni Yueshan snorted, "That's right. Don't you think about who set this up? Some people think I'm being tortured, but in reality, all I do every day is eat and sleep, and the rest of the time I spend playing chess, chess, chess!"
"So the difference between you and a pig is that you can play chess?" Jing Yuchen's teasing made Ni Yueshan speechless for a moment.
Then she rolled her eyes at Jing Yuchen and said, "There's no difference between me and a pig! If you can't beat a pig today, then you're worse than a pig!"
Jing Yuchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his evil expression became more relaxed.
The two played chess for an entire afternoon. Ni Yueshan noticed that his legs were severely swollen, so he gave up the game: "I can't sit down anymore. I need to walk around and give my eyes a rest!"
Jing Yuchen then stood up and held out his hand to support Ni Yueshan. Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen helplessly: "I'm not disabled, I don't need your support!"
Jing Yuchen insisted on supporting Ni Yueshan, who reluctantly reminded him, "It's getting late now. You should go back quickly, otherwise you'll be discovered and all your efforts will be wasted!"
Jing Yuchen was in no hurry to leave, but said helplessly: "I haven't seen you for a while, you have become so talkative."
Ni Yueshan rolled his eyes at Jing Yuchen and his expression gradually became serious.
"Shao Lecheng was responsible for inciting the people to spread rumors, resenting the Emperor for agreeing to such a high tribute to Tufan. Zou Yangyao was responsible for misleading the Emperor, making him believe it was a panacea. Now both of them have succeeded!"
"Prince, your marriage to Qiu Tianmi...how do you plan to proceed?"
I have been trying every possible way to match Qiu Tianmi's diet, causing her face to break out constantly. Although it has not been discovered yet, it will definitely be exposed over time. This is not a long-term solution.
Jing Yuchen raised his lips slightly and responded: "Don't worry, I have my own way. Just take good care of the baby and let me wait for the birth of the child, okay?"
He lowered his eyes and looked at Ni Yueshan's abdomen, where a small life was growing. The small life had already pushed Ni Yueshan's abdomen so big that even if she wore loose clothes, it was difficult to hide its existence.
"Have you thought of a name for the child?" The smile on Ni Yueshan's face gradually became warmer.
