It says "Fu.Shou.Grease" on the box.
Yan Shiyue stared at the three words and quickly reviewed the history in his mind. He thought, "It's impossible! It's impossible for it to appear so early! Is it a coincidence?"
Yan Shitu said, "Yes, it's called Fu Shou Gao. It's a magical medicine over there. It's said that no matter if you have a headache or any other pain, you can just swallow a piece and it will be fine. It's said that after swallowing it, you will feel so comfortable that you'll feel like you're floating in the air..."
He saw Yan Shiyue's expression clearly: "What's wrong?"
Yan Shiyue's voice trembled: "You, you used it?"
"I didn't use it!" Yan Shitu shook his head: "I'm as strong as an ox, it doesn't hurt or itch, why would I use this? I brought it back for you."
Yan Shiyue suddenly let out a breath.
She asked, "There's a lot of this stuff over there?"
"Yes!" Yan Shitu also found something wrong and answered seriously: "There are quite a lot of them. It is said that they were brought by merchants from Yamato. Now many pharmacies have them. This small box is only twenty taels of silver. Everyone says it is a magic medicine."
Yan Shiyue ordered the shadow guard: "Go and catch me some mice, or dogs will do."
...
...
The shadow guard responded and soon caught a few mice. Yan Shiyue opened the box and fed them the paste. The amount was sufficient. Soon, the mice started to bite wildly in the cage. One of them even forced its head out of the cage. Its entire head was squeezed and flattened, and it was stuck dead. "
Looking at the cage full of blood, Yan Shitu was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Yan Shiyue said: "Catch a few more mice, and then follow me into the palace."
The group hurried into the palace.
Emperor Chengsheng saw the mad rat with his own eyes and was also shocked.
He sat down and thought for a while: "Yuer, what do you think? Should I issue an edict to ban them first, or should I send people to Jiangnan to investigate thoroughly and catch them all in one fell swoop?"
Yan Shiyue said: "I only know that this thing must be completely banned, no matter how harsh the means are... This is the shame and nightmare of the Chinese nation. Brother, you must use thundering means to set an example."
Emperor Chengsheng nodded: "I understand."
Yan Shiyue bowed and asked for permission: "I am willing to go."
Emperor Chengsheng got up from his seat and pulled her up: "You don't have to go, Yue'er, I'll let the Crown Prince go."
Yan Shiyue said anxiously: "But..."
He patted her back, "Don't worry."
On that day, Emperor Chengsheng sent the crown prince secretly, and ordered Yan Shitu and Huo Yuxin to accompany him. Later, somehow, Xu Jingxi was also included.
No matter how Yan Shiyue thought about this personnel composition, she felt uneasy.
Now there are no pipes, so this thing is just swallowed, which is slightly less harmful. But it is fortunate that this is the case, so that we can take precautions as early as possible to avoid the nightmare from happening again.
Yan Shiyue pulled a few people and warned them: "You must be careful, this thing is extremely scary, if you get a little bit of it, your life will be ruined, no matter how careful you are, it is not too much! You must remember, don't try it just because you are curious, this addiction is fast, and human power cannot resist it. Even if you have a body of steel, you will become a walking corpse. No matter how strong your will is, you can't resist that feeling. You must remember!"
The prince and others kept nodding.
Huo Qijing took a step forward, half embraced her, patted her gently to comfort her, and said to them, "Go. Be careful."
The prince and his companions then bowed and said, "Don't worry, aunt."
After seeing them off, Yan Shiyue was speechless for a long time. Huo Qijing held her hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, they have grown up. It's not the first time that the prince has been on a mission, and he has old ministers around him. Even if we go, we may not be able to do as well as they do."
He gently kissed the top of her head: "Children have grown up, and you must learn to let go."
Yan Shiyue hummed, lost in thought. After a while, she suddenly said to him, "A Jing, can I tell you a story?"
Huo Qijing nodded, and she told him the story of Huo Yuanjia.
Huo Qijing listened quietly, then hugged her and patted her like a child: "Don't worry, this won't happen. The prince will definitely take care of it."
Yan Shiyue nodded, tapped the beat with his hands, and sang: "After a hundred years of slumber, the people of our country are gradually waking up. Open your eyes and look carefully, who is willing to admit that they are captives... The Great Wall will never fall, the Yellow River is surging, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the peaks are green, ask me, how can my country be sick..."
Huo Qijing listened quietly. Although the words were vague, they seemed inexplicably tragic and heroic.
Huo Qijing waited until she finished singing before he reached out and held her in his arms, whispering, "I really want to see the world you live in."
This is the bad thing about knowing history. Even if you know it's not the same thing, you just can't let it go. Yan Shiyue has been worrying about this matter for several days, and has talked about it with Emperor Ming Yan more than once.
Then Emperor Ming Yan said to her directly: "From now on, you must write twenty large characters every day."
"Why?" Yan Shiyue said, "Why should I practice calligraphy when I'm this old? Besides, I haven't stopped! I practice calligraphy in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer..."
Emperor Ming Yan interrupted, "Ten pictures a day, no matter what! You are just idle! Find something else to do, and you will have nothing to do!"
Yan Shiyue snorted, and Emperor Mingyan said, "They are all more patient than you! Your temper has not improved in many years!" He laughed as he spoke, "Only luck is unmatched."
Yan Shiyue had no choice but to grind some ink and write. In the meantime, he saw Cheng Xi and Huo Yuchu passing by outside.
Yan Shiyue couldn't help but put down her pen and gossiped with Emperor Ming Yan: "Father, who do you think Gao Gao will choose?"
Emperor Mingyan glanced out the window and slowly took a sip of tea: "Xu Wu is a child with a very unrestrained temperament, but he knows what to do and what not to do. He is particular about his work, gentle and broad-minded, and he is quite compatible with Gao Gao."
He paused and said, "But Chengxi is just the opposite. He appears to be open-minded and calm, but in fact, he is a bit paranoid."
Yan Shiyue nodded.
In her opinion, Cheng Xi was not actually paranoid, but he was indeed a bit stubborn.
With his personality, it would be fine if Nian Gao liked him, but if he didn't like him, or didn't like him enough, then it would be a bit bad. He would be obsessed with maxing out his favorability all his life, otherwise he would be entangled and in pain because of it.
But Nian Gao's personality is actually very rational, much more rational than her. It is impossible for her to like someone unreservedly. At most, she would be like Meng Hui.
If that's the case, then Chengxi really can't be chosen.
Nian Gao's future husband is absolutely not allowed to take concubines. No matter how much they follow the local customs, the principle of being a couple for life will not change. So she has always hoped that Nian Gao can choose someone she likes, and choose someone she likes very much under the premise of following the rules and regulations...
But obviously, the mainstream idea is that suitability is more important than liking.
Yan Shiyue sighed and put it aside.
At this time, the prince and his entourage traveled day and night and soon arrived in Jiangnan.
The princes are all under 20 years old. Although they are still little kids in Yan Shiyue's heart, in this era, people can get married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and they are all very mature.
Including Huo Yuxin, although he was very dissatisfied with Xu Jingxi, when it came to getting down to business, he would never say a word to him.
After they arrived in Jiangnan, they began to secretly dispatch personnel and conduct investigations.
After a thorough investigation, it was found that "Fu.Shou.Gao" is currently only sold in pharmacies, and its distribution range is limited to the Jiangnan area, mostly concentrated in Hangzhou.
Although Haikou is open to trade, Chinese people still do not accept foreign medicines, so most of the people who buy them are those who are looking for novelty.
But upon closer inspection, it was found that all pharmacies highly recommended this medicine, and most doctors who came to see a doctor for a headache or fever also recommended this medicine, because the price given to them by the Yamato merchants was much lower than the selling price, and they made huge profits, so of course they were keen on promoting it.
Moreover, Yamato merchants also bought several farms and prepared to plant crops on a large scale.
Xu Jingxi was a little angry and asked, "Do you think these drugstore owners really don't know that there is something fishy about this? Or do they do it knowing that it is wrong?"
Huo Yuxin couldn't help but sneer: "Even though I'm not very proficient in medical theory, I know that there is no such miracle drug in the world that can produce immediate results! They deal with medicine all day long, how could they not know! It's just that the interests are tempting!"
The prince patted his shoulder, his eyes were cold: "Whether these shopkeepers know or not, the Yamato merchants must know! Haikou is open to trade, and they want to deal us a fatal blow! This matter must not be let go!"
