“Do you know the name of the doctor from the Myriad Herb Hall? Where is he from?” Gu Yuan asked in a low voice.
Wu Tong had specially asked the people from the Myriad Herb Hall, so she replied without hesitation, “His surname is Wan, and his name is Wan Pengcheng. He’s from the capital.”
Gu Yuan had never heard of this name before. He looked up at Fan Beiran, who was sitting opposite him. Fan Beiran also shook his head.
For generals like them, their children had practiced martial arts since they were young. Practicing martial arts meant that they would be injured.
They had heard of most of the doctors in the Great Jin Dynasty who were good at external injuries, but they had never heard of anyone with the surname Wan.
Wu Tong was a smart person and immediately said, “Eldest Young Master, I’ve asked around. Doctor Wan is only a doctor hired by the boss of the Myriad Herb Hall. This external injury medicine was made by their boss himself. It’s a unique secret recipe.”
“The staff of the Myriad Herb Hall kept saying that even if others bought it, they could forget about replicating it.”
At that time, Wu Tong could also tell that some people in the periphery of the Myriad Herb Hall should be from other medical halls. They probably wanted to take the secret medicine of the Myriad Herb Hall back and study the composition of the herbs.
As they were talking, Gu Yanfei had already opened the small porcelain jar. There was a snow-white powder in the porcelain jar. At first glance, it looked like flour.
Before Gu Yanfei could ask, Wu Tong took the initiative to say, “The Myriad Herb Hall said that this powder needs to be applied externally. It’s useless to take it internally.”
Gu Yanfei leaned over and sniffed the small porcelain jar. Her nose was very sharp. Although the wine fragrance in the private room was strong, she could still confirm that this medicinal powder had no smell and didn’t look like a herb.
She dipped her pinky into the powder and tasted it…
Her movements were really too fast, so fast that Gu Yuan couldn’t stop her in time. He shouted nervously, “Sister!”
Gu Yuan was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. His elbow even accidentally hit the wine pot beside him, and the wine pot almost fell over. Fortunately, Fan Beiran was quick-witted and quickly held the wine pot.
I almost ruined such a pot of good wine! Van Beiran thought to himself and gave Gu Yuan a look that said, “Don’t be nervous.”
Gu Yuan was just worried. Since such a powerful person as our sister dared to taste the medicine herself, she naturally knew what to do.
Fan Mushuang didn’t care about the gossipy people below. She stared at Gu Yanfei without blinking. Her little face was so tense that it was round. She almost wanted to imitate Gu Yanfei and try the medicine.
Gu Yanfei savored the taste on the tip of her tongue carefully. Other than a salty and bitter taste, she really couldn’t taste anything else.
It was no wonder that the people from the Myriad Herb Hall dared to confidently say that no one could replicate this medicine.
Interesting.
Gu Yanfei casually put the small porcelain jar into her sleeve pocket and looked in the direction of Fan Mushuang’s two fingers outside the window.
Wu Tong hurriedly said, “Second Lady, the shop surrounded by many people at the end of the street is the Myriad Herb Hall.”
“Go buy another can,” Gu Yanfei instructed. Then, she turned to Gu Yuan and said, “Brother, take this can to the Eldest Prince.”
Gu Yuan naturally listened to Gu Yanfei and nodded.
Hence, at noon that day, Chu Yi, who was in Yangxin Hall, had an identical green porcelain jar in his hand.
The Emperor was also in Yangxin Hall. At this moment, he was admiring a painting he had just finished in front of a desk by the window. The peach blossoms in the painting were in full swing, and the clouds were steaming.
Chu Yi’s eyes curved imperceptibly. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and his pupils were sparkling like spring.
He stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed the porcelain jar twice, feeling a trace of honey in his heart.
The Emperor looked up from the painting, stroked his beard, and glanced at Chu Yi with a smile. It was obvious at a glance that his son was in an extremely good mood.
The Emperor’s knowing gaze couldn’t help but drift to a certain wooden box on the desk, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
Gu Yuan, who had just arrived, didn’t know, but the Emperor knew that there was an identical green porcelain jar hidden in this wooden box. It was the one Chu Yi had gotten someone to buy from the Myriad Herb Hall.
The young lady from the Gu family should have her son in her heart.
It was a good sign!
The Emperor was in a good mood. The more he looked at his Peach Blossom Painting, the more pleasing it was to the eye. He thought about it and framed it properly.
Soon, Gu Yuan reported about how the Myriad Herb Hall’s secret medicine had treated Marquis Ji’an and the head of an escort agency. In the end, he said, “My sister said that she doesn’t know which herb this powder is made of.”
Chu Yi casually opened the small green porcelain jar and looked at the white powder inside.. “Do you know what this powder is called?”
