Mu Qing took out a rectangular wooden box from her sleeve and handed it to Murong Zhi, saying, "This contains some medicine to regulate your body. Although you are now healthy, you are still weak from birth and can take some supplements. These are all pure and mild medicines."
He paused, then added, "Is the doctor in the manor trustworthy?"
Murong Zhi: "I trust him. The Valley Master of Divine Physician Valley is in the manor." At this point, Murong Zhi couldn't help but recall that old man's recent obsession with buying and researching the precious medicines from Fangcao Pavilion, which had drained his savings, and how he always came to him to complain about being poor.
Although it was somewhat laughable, Murong Zhi still admired Master Gu for being someone who disregarded worldly affairs and was wholeheartedly devoted to medical research.
Moreover, if it weren't for Grandpa Gu's years of herbal medicine treatment, he might not be alive today, let alone have recovered.
Murong Yu: "Dr. Gu has been helping my elder brother with his health since he was a child, so he knows my elder brother's body best."
The Divine Physician Gu treated Murong Zhi very well, which was actually related to their mother.
When the Empress was young, she traveled and met the renowned physician Gu. Gu later entered the Empress's household as a doctor and took care of her. Later still, the late Emperor designated the Empress to be the Crown Princess of the then-Crown Prince. After that, Gu left the household to travel.
Later, Murong Zhi fell ill, and the Empress wrote a letter asking Physician Gu to help treat him. From then on, Physician Gu often stayed in the capital to take care of Murong Zhi. After Murong Zhi came of age and was assigned to the Crown Prince's residence, he also went to the Crown Prince's residence. Except for occasionally returning to Physician Gu when there was something to do, he spent most of his time in the Crown Prince's residence.
Mu Qing: "That's good. Give the medicine to him. I think he'll know how to prepare it more appropriately for you."
Murong Zhi: "In that case, thank you very much, Young Master Mu Qing."
Mu Qing: "Your Highness is too kind."
After chatting casually for a while, Mu Qing declined Murong Yu's suggestion to dine with him, got up to say goodbye and return home.
After Murong Zhi and Murong Yu had lunch together, Murong Zhi was about to take his leave when a palace eunuch arrived at the Third Prince's residence with an imperial edict.
Half an hour ago, in the palace
The Emperor asked, "Is this extraordinary phenomenon truly the incarnation of a holy son?"
Imperial Astronomical Bureau: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am 90% certain."
The Imperial Observatory said, "Several years ago, there were unusual celestial phenomena, and my master predicted that someone with great destiny would be born into the world."
The Imperial Observatory official knelt down and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! With the birth of a holy son, the world is at peace. Your Majesty will usher in an unprecedented golden age of prosperity for our dynasty. Your achievements will last for generations."
The Emperor: "Hahaha, well said! Guards, reward them!"
Imperial Astronomical Bureau: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Emperor asked, "It is said that the Holy Son is of unparalleled beauty, and everything in his path pales in comparison. Is this true?"
Imperial Observatory: "That's what the rumors say, Your Majesty. It's also said that the Holy Son is not only exceptionally handsome but also ageless."
Imperial Astronomical Bureau: "It is said that the last time a holy son was born, he helped the founding emperor of the previous dynasty unify the country."
The more the emperor listened, the heavier his breathing became. The emperor was nearly fifty years old and looked old. Whether it was eternal youth or lasting achievements, it was a great temptation for him.
The Imperial Observatory, sensing the Emperor's interest, said, "When my master was alive a few years ago, he observed the celestial phenomena at night and said that the strange star corresponded with the Third Prince's natal star and that the star was destined to be with the Third Prince."
The Emperor's smile faded, and he said, "Continue."
The Imperial Observatory said, "Your Majesty, why don't you issue an edict to let the Third Prince search for the person? Since the Holy Son and the Third Prince are destined to meet, it would surely be much more effective for the Third Prince to search for the person."
