The doctors present were startled; this was a golden opportunity to become rich overnight.
"Your Majesty, I will do my utmost!" Both the physicians from the Southern Kingdom and the physicians from the Northern Frontier said with serious expressions.
Su Linle looked at the two prescriptions that Gu Mu handed over. Because they were medicines from this era, although the packaging was similar to modern ones, the writing on them was still done by men from this era.
Su Linle took a closer look and frowned. You see, even a difference of a milligram or a gram in Chinese medicine can make a world of difference in its effects and efficacy. Although the medicines used are listed, the quantities of each are not recorded.
This means that if they want to formulate a medicine with similar effects to the one in Gu Mu's possession based on this instruction manual, they will need to spend a lot of time and effort to conduct this experiment.
But Su Linle was willing to suffer losses, and she didn't care about these things at all.
She stared intently at Gu Mu: "Is Your Majesty in such a hurry?"
In Su Linle's heart, she always remembered His Majesty's words that he needed her.
It was because of that sentence that she was able to survive the incident involving her collusion with Shen Chao.
This is also the condition that allows her to be in close proximity to His Majesty now.
Therefore, she must do her best to maximize her value; only in this way can she stay by His Majesty's side for a long time.
"It's urgent, the sooner the better."
Gu Mudao.
From one perspective, Su Linle is a very good employee.
But that's all.
He had already made himself clear, and what Su Linle thought next was her own business.
"Alright." Su Linle grinned. "I understand. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will certainly not let you down!"
Not a second wasted,
After Gu Mu left, Su Linle immediately went into her room to study the prescription.
Even late at night, passing maids could see that candles were still lit in Su Linle's room.
Whenever Your Majesty needs it.
She would do it even if it cost her everything.
This is the awareness a subject should have.
It is also a woman's determination to dedicate herself to the one she loves.
But once Gu Mu's heart was filled with one person, there was no room for another.
He entered Shen Ling's study.
At this moment, Shen Ling took out a purse and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, please carry this with you."
"What is its purpose?"
"Inside is a talisman that I obtained, and the herbs inside also have insect-repelling properties. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there will probably be many mosquitoes on the march. With this, Your Majesty can suffer less on the road."
Shen Ling had considered everything for Gu Mu.
"Okay." Gu Mu took the bag and glanced outside the door.
This is not a peaceful and prosperous era.
The world order is fragmented.
But... one day, the world will be unified.
...
Meanwhile, Gu Mu was making preparations in full swing.
Meanwhile, on the other side, what was bound to happen finally arrived.
"Your Majesty, I have discovered that the Qi Kingdom is secretly sending troops to the Hu Kingdom." A minister in charge of reconnaissance reported, "They are disguised as merchants, bodyguards, martial arts practitioners and other groups... They are disguised and divided into several groups, secretly heading towards the Hu Kingdom."
The minister said with concern, "We hadn't noticed it at first, but a group of them encountered bandits. My subordinates discovered that the merchants' martial arts skills were extraordinary; they actually wiped out all the bandits, which is not the level of ordinary merchants. So we secretly followed them and found that their destination was the Fox Kingdom. After they arrived in the Fox Kingdom, they completely disappeared."
"Because the Qi Kingdom and the Hu Kingdom are already sensitive to our country, and I became suspicious, I sent more people to monitor the only route from the Qi Kingdom to the Hu Kingdom. That's when I discovered that something was wrong with the higher-ups."
"It is my fault for failing in my duties. I only discovered this now and I don't even know how many troops Qi has secretly transported to Hu."
The minister lowered his head and said with shame.
He certainly knew how important this information was in the current state of war.
Unfortunately, he discovered it too late; if he had been any later, it could have brought an irreparable disaster to the Southern Kingdom.
But His Majesty's expression remained calm, as if he had expected this: "Hmm, I understand. You may leave."
"Your Majesty...you're not going to punish me?" The minister paused for a moment, then asked suspiciously.
The minister was originally from the Eagle Kingdom, but he had always had his own opinions about the Eagle Kingdom emperor's rule. Because he kept submitting memorials to the Eagle Kingdom emperor to do things, he was greatly displeased by the Eagle Kingdom emperor and was always neglected.
Until Gu Mu ascended the throne and established the Northern Frontier, he had learned about some of Gu Mu's governing philosophies and the living standards of the people in the South.
No matter who is emperor, a good emperor is one who can make the people live a good life.
Because of this belief, the minister quickly chose to pledge allegiance to Gu Mu.
Although he seemed like a fence-sitter, Gu Mu discovered his upright character in him and some of his actions, so he took advantage of it.
At this moment, the minister was only listening to what Gu Mu was saying. In his understanding, Gu Mu had made such a big mistake and should be punished, but His Majesty showed no intention of punishing him.
Instead, he was easily dismissed.
Does His Majesty not care about this news?
You don't think this is a very important thing?
The minister did not heed this and withdrew immediately. Instead, he spoke again, saying, "Your Majesty! I am willing to be punished! I failed to receive this information in time, which allowed Qi to secretly transport a large number of troops to Hu. Their troop transport is definitely for the purpose of attacking Nan! We cannot be careless!"
Gu Mu glanced at the official.
Such a single-minded minister has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that he prioritizes the greater good, so there's no need to worry about him enriching himself or seeking only political achievements without considering practical results.
The downside is that they can't be flexible and can be too noisy and stubborn. Even a king might not be given face when there are differing opinions.
The official looked directly into Gu Mu's eyes.
In fact, very few people dare to do this nowadays.
The longer Gu Mu remained on the throne, the more pronounced his domineering aura became.
Sometimes, a sharp look can be enough to make someone's heart tremble.
But this minister seemed unafraid of being beheaded: "Your Majesty... such matters are not to be taken lightly!"
"I am not playing games."
"Then why isn't Your Majesty troubled by this matter... you should know..."
"Some things require not only seeing with your eyes but also thinking with your brain. Regarding the alliance between Qi and Hu, which you mentioned, General Shen already considered it when the Northern Frontier was designated as part of the Southern Kingdom." Gu Mu remained calm: "From that time on, I began my planning. I am not only unafraid of this war, but I will also take the initiative!"
What was bound to happen has finally happened.
Or rather, he had been waiting for this day for a very long time.
