Having learned his lesson, even the most rough young man like Qi Chenglang would be more careful now, especially since the young prince was staring at him with reddened eyes.
He nodded hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will be extremely careful from now on! I will fully cooperate with Imperial Physician Qin's treatment and strive to heal the wound as soon as possible..."
At this point, Qi Chenglang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Judge Qin, do you have any scar-removing cream?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuzhi turned to look at him, her big eyes blinking adorably.
Judge Qin was pleased by his gaze and cleared his throat, saying, "Of course there are."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up even more, looking at him with admiration: "Court Judge Qin is so amazing!"
He touched the scar on his shoulder and wondered if he should try this ointment too.
As soon as the idea came to him, he shook his head like a rattle-drum.
No, no, this ointment must be quite expensive. Otherwise, Judge Qin would have asked me to use it when he saw the scar on his shoulder.
He pursed his lips, deciding not to cause any more trouble.
Manager Wen said that he had been spending money like water lately, buying salt permits and salt had emptied his savings, not to mention that Guard Shen and his group had also settled the matter with the rice shop, and they would definitely be buying a lot of rice next.
Gu Yuzhi's thoughts wandered quickly. In just a short while, he thought of his empty storeroom again. He squatted on the ground in melancholy, resting his chin on his hands, his gaze shifting back and forth between Judge Qin and Guard Qi.
Upon hearing this from Imperial Physician Qin, Chief Secretary Xie quickly asked, "Since there's such an ointment, then we're not in a hurry. However, Imperial Physician Qin, you should pay attention to Guard Qi's scar..."
He had intended to say that he would try his best to leave no trace, but when he thought of the scene of digging out the rotten flesh, he changed his tone: "Let's remove it as much as possible, as long as it's not so terrible."
Judge Qin glared at him irritably: "What do you mean 'as long as it's not that scary'? With me taking action, I guarantee his face will be restored to its original state."
They really don't understand his abilities as a judge. If he didn't have some real skills, which of the nobles in the palace would tolerate him?
Thinking of this, Judge Qin shook his head and said with a hint of pride, "This scar-removing ointment is my exclusive formula. Not only can it remove scars, but by slightly modifying one or two ingredients, it can also improve the skin..."
He glanced at Gu Yuzhi, who was looking at him with great curiosity, cleared his throat, and waved his hand to change the subject: "In short, rest assured, I will definitely make Guard Qi recover to his original state."
The late emperor had far more women in his harem than the current emperor, and his ointment was one of the ways the concubines vied for his favor.
However, this kind of thing cannot be said in front of the young prince; it would have a bad influence.
Although he stopped the conversation, everyone present except Gu Yuzhi understood what he hadn't finished saying.
Especially Shu Xiaohan, she finally remembered what the flash of inspiration she had earlier was.
Judge Qin's ointment can make a woman's skin smooth and supple. If he wanted to, he could sell it for a fortune!
Without thinking, Shu Xiaohan poked Wen Xiuzhu's arm hard and whispered to him about the huge profits this ointment might bring.
As a very successful businessman, how could Wen Xiuzhu not know that this was a business opportunity? The key reason why he didn't say anything was because of Judge Qin.
Seeing that the young prince's attention was on Chief Secretary Xie and the others, he whispered, "Do you think I don't know? But this is unlikely to happen."
He gestured with his chin toward Physician Qin: "You should know Physician Qin's personality. When he first came to Mobei and wanted to open a clinic, he got into a fight with the young prince. Even though he compromised later, it was only in the name of his attending physician master."
He glanced sideways at Shu Xiaohan, whose expression had already stiffened, and said, "Do you think if you told Imperial Physician Qin that you would offer your exclusive prescription to the young prince so he could make money, he would be angry with the young prince, or would he think the young prince wanted to covet his prescription?"
Shu Xiaohan was taken aback, naturally knowing that ancient times and modern times were different.
If a modern doctor were to acquire such a valuable technology, they would undoubtedly apply for a patent to earn patent fees. Subsequently, they would also seek profits through methods such as technology-backed equity investments or selling usage rights.
However, in ancient times, legendary physicians like Qin Shi Huang valued their exclusive prescriptions more than their own lives. The possibility of them sharing them for profit was indeed extremely slim...
Shu Xiaohan sighed, "What a pity..."
Even someone like her, who is solely focused on research, knows how popular those big-name skincare products are. Moreover, the ointment that Judge Qin prescribed was absolutely natural, pollution-free, and made entirely of traditional Chinese medicine!
If the young prince were to open a cosmetics shop, he could open up a market in Sangchao and even in neighboring countries with just this ointment.
Shu Xiaohan shook her head, looking at Judge Qin who was talking to Chief Secretary Xie, still feeling regretful.
Gu Yuzhi's attention was entirely focused on Chief Secretary Xie and Imperial Physician Qin, and he didn't hear the conversation between Shu Xiaohan and Wen Xiuzhu at all.
Unaware of Chief Secretary Xie's inner worries, Judge Qin wrote the prescription while saying, "Chief Secretary Xie, if you ask me, Guard Qi is right. It doesn't matter whether the scar goes away or not. Why are you so insistent?"
After using his ointment, the scars on Guard Qi's face did not disappear completely, but they did not protrude into fleshy lumps like ordinary scars, making them look ugly and hideous.
Chief Secretary Xie said irritably, "Your Highness reminded me that Guard Qi is already of marriageable age. If his face is injured, I'm afraid it will be quite bad."
In the capital, because of Qi Shizi's great reputation, Qi Chenglang, the second son of the Duke's mansion, was not in such a good position as the imperial bodyguard. If he had a scar on his face, those families who originally wanted to curry favor with the Duke of Qi would probably have to think twice.
At this moment, Judge Qin's mind was full of prescriptions, and he didn't think carefully about the meaning behind Chief Secretary Xie's words. When he heard that it was not good, he frowned slightly: "What does the age of marriage have to do with the scar on his face?"
Gu Yuzhi chuckled, then suddenly stood up straight, giggling and raising his hand, saying, "I know, I know."
Chief Secretary Xie sensed something was wrong and was about to stop him when Gu Yuzhi blurted out, "Because if there's a scar, it will affect Guard Qi's ability to get married!"
Chief Secretary Xie closed his eyes, looking utterly hopeless and unwilling to utter a single word.
The startled physician Qin was shocked to discover that not only was the prescription written incorrectly, but ink had also spilled onto it, quickly soaking the paper and leaving it somewhat tattered.
Qi Chenglang, who was at the center of the conversation, was completely frozen. He stared blankly at the young prince, a blush slowly rising on his face and spreading to his ears. He turned as red as a boiled shrimp.
