Changyuden, the imperial residence.
After Uesugi Katsukage agreed to the Emperor's decision, Tokuyoshi Shingo knew that the Tokuyoshi family would never have another chance. He slowly lowered his head, and a tear fell from his eye.
Everything is over.
The emperor ordered that Tokuyoshi Yasuhito be buried with the proper rites for a Yamato shogun, and ordered that Tokuyoshi Shingo and Minamoto no Tadayoshi be taken away.
After all this was over, Ono Yuki finally found an opportunity to approach Su Ruojin, kneeling down on the ground, "Please, Princess Consort of Great Chu, save my son. I am willing to give all my family property, just to exchange my son's life."
Since witnessing the death of Tokuyoshi Yasuhito, Ono Yuki has been completely distraught, his mind preoccupied with the poison his son had been afflicted with. He keeps praying to heaven that his son will not get angry or do anything too strenuous, as long as the poison hasn't taken effect yet, there is still hope for his son.
Su Ruojin glanced at Ono Yuuki, "Master Ono, saving your son is not impossible, but I have a request."
"Whatever the request, I will definitely agree." Ono Yuki's eyes lit up when he heard Su Ruojin's words.
So, there is still hope for the son.
He wasn't afraid of the Princess Consort of Great Chu making demands; he was afraid she would say she couldn't save him.
Riko glanced at Ono Yuuki, her eyes flickering, but she didn't say anything.
"Besides Chigen, your Xiaoye Pharmacy should open free clinics in other major cities of Yamato to provide free treatment for the poor. This matter must not be stopped as long as Xiaoye Pharmacy exists."
Upon hearing Su Ruojin's suggestion, Li Zi's eyes widened in shock. If that were true, how many lives would be saved?
Ono Yuuki was taken aback. He hadn't expected Su Ruojin to make such a request. It was not beneficial to her at all, but rather to the people of Yamato.
What was the Princess Consort of Great Chu trying to achieve by doing all this?
However, Ono Yuki couldn't figure out Su Ruojin's purpose for the time being. He just did a rough calculation in his mind and realized that opening free clinics in major cities of Yamato would cost a lot of money.
Even if all the profits from Xiaoye Medicine Hall were invested, it might not be enough.
But for his son...
Yuuki Ono gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
Su Ruojin added, "I will send people from the Great Chu Heavenly Medicine Pavilion to Yamato to assist Xiaoye Pharmacy. Every year, the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion will sponsor some medicinal materials for the free clinic."
Ono Yuuki was delighted to hear this, as it would greatly reduce the pressure on Ono Sodo.
But then he thought again, the Princess Consort of Great Chu said she brought some medicinal herbs, and Great Chu is not exactly close to Great He.
This Tianyi Pavilion has the character "yi" (医) in its name, so it must be related to medical skills. It's probably similar to Xiaoye Pharmacy. I wonder how many medicinal herbs they can provide.
Thinking of this, the slight joy he had just felt vanished.
Well, let's take what we have; it's better than nothing.
At this time, Yuuki Ono had no idea that he would be completely astonished when he saw the medicinal herbs brought by the Heavenly Physician Pavilion.
Only then did he truly understand what Su Ruojin meant by sending people from the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion.
Since then, Kono Yakudo has remained unmatched in Japan for hundreds of years.
The emperor then spoke up, "I will also allocate some silver to the free clinic."
Ono Yuuki was delighted to hear that the Emperor would also give money. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Highness, my son is still poisoned. May I go and check on him first?" Ono Yuuki was very anxious.
"No need, Ono Akuro's poison has been neutralized."
Upon hearing Su Ruojin's words, Ono Yuuki was stunned.
How was the poison neutralized?
Riko then spoke up, "Master Ono, the Queen and Sister Yanluo have already cured Ono Ruojun of the poison on the Xiaohai. You'll know when you see him."
Ono Yuuki was so excited that he wanted to go home to see his son, but Izumi Nobukatsu, who was standing next to him, coughed awkwardly and said, "Um, Head of the Ono family, Ono Waka-kun is at my residence."
