Aunt Chun smiled and gently shook her head.
"Only if the young lady is well can my wife and I be safe. Otherwise, when the other young ladies and concubines arrive, if one day someone rises in status because of their son or daughter, we will probably be trampled underfoot. So, young lady, we must not let those evil spirits take advantage of our weakness."
Wen Wan thought of the concubine's daughter who was about to be summoned, and unconsciously clenched the bottle, gritting her teeth.
"Don't worry, no one can take my things away from me, not a single one!"
She finally managed to kick that bitch Wenrou far away.
It's impossible for me to let others reap the rewards.
She looked down at the bottle in her hand, then at the incense, her gaze intense.
If what Aunt Chun said is true, anyone who takes the fragrant pill will become obsessed with her after smelling the fragrance for a long time.
Could she then be used on King Qu?
I just don't know how to get close to King Qu, get him to take the fragrant pill, and then be willing to smell the fragrance over time.
"Achoo." Inside the Prince Cheng's mansion, someone suddenly sneezed.
The old man drinking tea next to him immediately looked disgusted.
"You must have caught a cold. If you're not feeling well, you shouldn't be out and about. Xiaoheng, let's go, let's stay away from him, so we don't catch it from him."
The other young man, with sharp features, remained seated below, pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, ignoring the grandfather and grandson.
The refined young man who was being criticized gently rubbed his nose.
Despite his somewhat rough movements, when he performed them, he exuded elegance, refinement, and grace.
It's a pity that she has a mouth that doesn't match her appearance and temperament.
He smiled lazily, "Grandfather, you are too biased. You don't care about your grandson at all."
The old man scoffed, "What do I care about you? I care that I don't see you even once a year. You're a prince, yet you don't do any proper work and spend all day running around with a bunch of brutes. Your father complained to me about you just yesterday."
The young man shrugged. “So many people want to do serious things, it doesn’t matter if I’m one more. I was born to be an eagle that soars everywhere, there’s no way around it.”
"He hasn't learned a single skill, but he's certainly developed a thicker skin."
The young man smiled broadly and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your praise, Grandfather."
The old man was so angry that he glared and turned to look at his other grandson.
“Xiao Heng, you need to discipline him. He’s not young anymore and he’s still acting like this. How will he teach his children in the future?”
The young man with his eyes closed looked up helplessly at the person opposite him and said in a low voice, "Don't make Grandfather angry."
The young man shrugged.
At this moment, an imperial physician walked in and bowed.
"This old minister pays respects to the Emperor Emeritus. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and longevity. I also pay my respects to Prince Cheng and Prince Qu..."
Before he could finish his greeting, the old man called him to a halt.
"Alright, alright, Fang Yuan, come here. Xiao Shao brought some pills from Medicine King Valley. Take a look and see which ones will be useful for Xiao Heng's body."
Upon hearing that the medicine was obtained by His Highness Prince Qu from the legendary Valley of Medicine Kings, Imperial Physician Fang immediately stepped forward out of curiosity, picked up the small jade bottle on the table, and smelled it.
After examining them for a while, he turned to the refined young man and asked, "May I ask Your Highness, do you know what kind of elixirs these are?"
The young man then said, “The green one is called Peiyuan Pill, which can strengthen the body’s foundation, nourish the internal organs, and balance Yin and Yang. The red one is Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng Pill, which can replenish blood and Qi, enhance vitality and strengthen the body. The white one is Bodhi Pill, which can warm and nourish the body and repair hidden injuries. Take a look at these pills and see if my brother can take them and if they can benefit his body.”
After listening, Physician Fang nodded repeatedly, thinking that his diagnosis was roughly the same as his.
He shook his head regretfully, "The elixir is certainly good, but at present, it may not be suitable for Your Highness Prince Cheng."
"Why?" the old man and the young man asked together.
Physician Fang said, "His Highness Prince Cheng's body is currently unable to strengthen its foundation, and his vital energy is already disordered. Furthermore, due to the lack of proper nourishment over a long period of time, although these medicines have the effect of nourishing and strengthening the body, their medicinal properties are also extremely strong. I'm afraid that his body will not be able to withstand the nourishment, and it may instead cause his vital energy to become even more disordered and burn his internal organs."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, both the old man and the young man frowned deeply.
"What if you cut it into small pieces to eat?"
"The medicinal properties are all blended together; if they are broken apart, they will lose their effectiveness."
Upon hearing this, both of them could not hide their disappointment.
Imperial Physician Fang glanced at Prince Cheng, who remained silent with his eyes lowered and a cold expression, and could only sigh and apologize, "It is our incompetence."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "I wonder if I could take these pills back with me and see if I could replicate a milder, more potent nourishing pill?"
"Okay, take it. Try to figure it out as soon as possible."
Imperial Physician Fang immediately cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "This old minister will certainly do his utmost."
After everyone left, the atmosphere in the hall was no longer as relaxed as before; the silence carried an uncomfortable sense of oppression.
Fu Tingchen looked up at the two of them, and finally his gaze fell on the young man opposite him.
He didn't bring up the topic of elixirs again, only saying, "Now that you've returned, you should go to the palace to pay your respects to Father and Mother as soon as possible."
The relaxed and carefree expression on Fu Yuchen's face was gone as he stood up.
"Don't worry, Third Brother, I will find another opportunity to go to Medicine King Valley and I will definitely find a way to treat you."
Fu Tingchen shook his head, "No need. Don't go out again after you come back this time. You're of marriageable age now. Your mother is currently selecting concubines for you. Just stay put."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuchen frowned even more deeply.
Before he could speak, the old man spoke up.
"Xiao Heng is right. It's time for you to settle down and start a family. Your father and I will send people to negotiate with Medicine King Valley again."
Fu Yuchen knew that there would be no result.
No one has ever been able to break the rules of Medicine King Valley.
He could only purse his lips and say, "I'll go visit my mother, father, grandfather, and third brother first. See you later."
The old man waved his hand, "Don't come again, Xiao Heng and I also need to go out for a while."
