"Moreover, Tingyulan is not easy to obtain, and even if there is a prescription, it is difficult to use in medicine."
"In addition, there are many medicinal materials required, and the dosage must be strictly controlled. Even if we tell the officials of the Imperial Medical Academy, they may not be able to grasp it in time. If there is any mishap, the losses may outweigh the gains."
"However, recently, my senior and junior brothers and I have made progress in developing a new medicine formula. Once it is finalized, it can be presented to His Majesty."
Emperor Xuanwu was very pleased with her actions and nodded repeatedly in praise: "The medical profession is truly exemplary, with its warmth and profound medical ethics."
Consort Yi chuckled and said, "Is that all Your Majesty is going to say?"
"How could that be!" Emperor Xuanwu, as if struck by a sudden thought, looked at Xiao Yan with a meaningful smile and asked him, "In Hanyu's opinion, how should we reward him?"
Anyone else would definitely not dare to say that.
But Xiao Yan had a "you dare ask, I dare say" attitude, and directly said: "Money and power."
Emperor Xuanwu: "..." This sounds familiar.
Money is one thing, but power...
He just granted this girl the title of Lady of the Township, and it hasn't even been a month yet. It wouldn't be appropriate to grant her another title.
So he said, "How about this, I will reward you with some gold melon seeds today. When the prescription is delivered to the Imperial Hospital in the future, I will reward you and your fellow disciples as well. What do you think?"
Shen Qi was naturally delighted and quickly thanked them.
Emperor Xuanwu was all smiles; though he possessed the air of an emperor, he was also remarkably kind.
until--
He looked at Qin Li, a smile on his face but a chill in his eyes, and said, "You planted the Listening Rain Orchid without my permission, which is disrespectful, but it was this flower of yours that saved me from my urgent problem."
"Logically speaking, you shouldn't be punished anymore."
"But you are someone close to the Imperial Noble Consort, and she has the power to assist in managing the six palaces. If we spare you, I'm afraid she will suffer a bad reputation..."
These words forced Qin Li to apologize on his own.
He forced himself to say, "...To prove the Imperial Noble Consort's innocence, I beg Your Majesty to punish her."
"Hmm." Emperor Xuanwu nodded: "Considering your age, I will not impose severe punishment, but only remove you from your position as head eunuch."
"By the way, don't you like flowers? How about doing some gardening work in the Imperial Garden someday?"
"You lackey, you lackey..."
Qin Li forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace, but before he could finish speaking, he collapsed from the shock and fainted on the spot.
Not to mention he was shocked.
Shen Xiyin's marriage was also quite unexpected.
She had considered that His Majesty would punish Qin Li, but she also thought that with the Imperial Noble Consort's influence, it might just be a minor punishment as a warning. Who knew that His Majesty would strip him of his official position so easily!
No wonder everyone loves to strive for fame and fortune; these are truly valuable things.
As Xiao Yan led her out of the palace, Shen Qiyin was completely immersed in the dream that he would one day hold immense power in the court, and that she would follow him and "borrow his power" to achieve her goals.
She only came to her senses when the two got into the carriage and he pulled her into his arms.
Immediately afterwards, a warm touch came from the side of her neck, making her frown slightly in pain: "Ouch—" What is he doing?!
