Li Guang closed the wooden box, put it inside the wooden case, and then put the wooden case away.
The scene just now left everyone dumbfounded. Where did that little wooden box come from? It seemed to be specially made for this pill. This was too amazing.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Li Guang spoke up:
"This wooden box used to nurture the medicine was a gift from a Taoist priest who ascended to immortality five years ago."
Some time ago, a Taoist priest sent me this box. I studied it for many days before I finally figured out its secret and realized that it was used to nourish medicine.
From that time on, I began searching for this pill, but to no avail. I never expected that you had already found it.
The treatment will take time; the Emperor Emeritus will need to be patient for a while before the medicine can cure his illness.
At this moment, the old emperor slowly awoke and, seeing the crowd gathered around, spoke:
"Just now I smelled a wonderful fragrance, and I felt much more relaxed and less uncomfortable. What is this? Have you found a cure for my illness?"
"We have indeed found a miraculous medicine that can cure Father's illness. However, the medicine needs to be nurtured for a month before it can be taken. At that time, it will be able to cure the disease completely."
"Really? That's wonderful! There's still a month left. I must persevere. If I can get out of bed and walk again, I must see the magnificent landscape of the Great Northern Dynasty," the old emperor said excitedly.
Over the next few days, the old emperor's condition improved somewhat. He began to move half of his limbs, his appetite improved, and he could sit up in bed for a while, but he could not get out of bed.
Li Guang said that it would take another month before the pill could be taken, which was calculated. Of course, the longer the medicine was kept, the better its effect would be, but the old emperor could not wait that long.
If the old emperor can still hold on after a month, then let the pill rest for a longer period of time; the effect will be even better.
Li Guang has been on the throne for half a month now. In the past few years, the retired emperor has worked hard and accomplished many great things. The overall situation of the Great Northern Dynasty is much better than before.
In particular, when the Great Northern Dynasty was invaded by foreign enemies, the army of the foreign states broke through the capital and the court suffered a calamity. Half of the court officials perished, and the power structure inside and outside the court was reshuffled. This was not necessarily all bad for the Great Northern Dynasty.
Even so, chaos in the court and corruption among officials still existed. After Li Guang ascended the throne, he naturally wanted to do something and had long been fed up with the chaos in the court.
The first thing Li Guang had to do was to rectify the court and enforce the law.
Li Guang was well-versed in the classics and knew that the rise and fall of a dynasty largely depended on the soundness of its national system.
Over the years, Li Guang endured hardship and humiliation, gaining a deep understanding of the various policies of the Northern Dynasty. He had already developed ideas to adjust those policies that were outdated or detrimental to the country's development.
Supervision and management of court officials, and severe punishment of official corruption, will be the main focus of Li Guang's governance. Clean politics and strict law enforcement will be important guarantees for national development.
The retired emperor did an excellent job in focusing on people's livelihood and improving their lives, and Li Guang should carry on this good practice.
A country's prosperity and strength cannot be separated from the support of its people.
Li Guang lived in Shuixian Town for ten years, and he was well aware of the hardships of the people and their needs.
After ascending the throne, Li Guang's task was to continue to promote agricultural products and new products, improve the living standards of the people, and make the Great Northern Dynasty prosperous and strong.
Li Guang attached great importance to education, believing that a country's development cannot be separated from the support of talented people.
Li Guang's next step will be to increase investment in education, improve the quality of education in the Great Northern Dynasty, and cultivate more talents, regardless of gender, who can serve the country.
Promoting culture and passing on national spirit are the foundation of a country's culture and the soul of a nation.
A nation's strength should be reflected in many aspects. Only by doing these things well can the Great Northern Dynasty prosper forever, and the people's lives get better and better.
Of course, it was not something that Li Guang could accomplish overnight; he would spend a great deal of time on this task, perhaps several years or even decades. For Li Guang, this was a long and arduous journey.
Time flew by, and the old emperor lay on his bed for another month. He gritted his teeth and persevered every day, sustained by a strong will in his heart; otherwise, he would have passed away long ago.
Early that morning, Li Guang summoned the imperial physicians to the Emperor Emeritus's palace. The pill had been nurtured in the wooden box for over a month and had already developed some medicinal effects, making it ready to cure the Emperor Emeritus's illness.
As for the safety of the pill, Li Guang was absolutely at ease. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this pill was also arranged by the Daoist master.
Although the Taoist priest had long since ascended to immortality, five years later, the Taoist priest was still secretly helping him. Thinking of this, Li Guang's eyes welled up with tears.
At this moment, the retired emperor on the bed had sunken eyes and was already so thin that he was no longer recognizable as a human.
Li Guang was heartbroken and was determined to administer the medicine to the Emperor Emeritus today, without delaying even for a day.
Li Guang took out the small wooden box containing the medicinal herbs. Although it was not yet opened, a peculiar fragrance could already be smelled.
The old emperor was immediately invigorated by the fragrance, and more than a month later, he smelled the wonderful fragrance again.
"Qing'er, is this the medicinal fragrance emanating from the divine medicine? It's amazing! I can feel it. This medicine must be effective."
“Father is right. This divine medicine and the wooden box containing the nourishing medicine were gifts from a Taoist immortal.”
“Immortal Taoist Master, Qing’er once received a strange book, which was said to have been given to her by a Taoist master. Was this divine medicine also given to her by this Immortal Taoist Master?”
“Father is right. It is indeed this immortal Taoist priest. If it weren’t for his help many times, Qing’er wouldn’t be where she is today.”
Sadly, the Taoist priest ascended to immortality five years ago, and Qing'er will never see him again.
Li Guang's words surprised everyone, who found it unbelievable.
"Qing'er, you said that the immortal Taoist priest ascended to heaven five years ago, so how did he give you this divine medicine?"
"The Taoist priest is a deity. He knew five years ago that this day would happen, and he arranged for his descendants to do it."
Qing'er received this small wooden box a few months ago, and it was empty at the time.
After the Emperor fell ill, the Fourth Prince arranged for people to search for doctors and medicines everywhere. Finally, they obtained this miraculous medicine. Later, when Qing'er saw this miraculous medicine, she understood everything.
This pill has been nurtured in this medicine box for over a month and has already developed some medicinal effect. If Father Emperor takes it now, his condition will improve quickly.
"Is that so? Quickly give me the medicine, I need to get better as soon as possible." The old emperor said excitedly.
