Since he had nothing else to do, Shen Kouqing decided to flip through some medical books. At this time, the emperor's poison was at hand, so Shen Kouqing naturally had to flip through some books. If he could find the antidote, or if there were similar cases, it would be fine.
She locked herself in her room and did not allow anyone to enter, even Ting Zhu was rejected outside the door. She said that no matter who entered, they would be able to disturb her and no one had the guts to do so, so naturally they would follow her wishes.
But no matter how many medical books Shen Kouqing flipped, they were all unable to find the antidote to the Emperor Poison.
However, after flipping through eight books of medical knowledge, she finally had some additional benefits.
"Wake up the grass, stop coughing to calm your breathing, protect the liver and cure the poison …" When Shen Kouqing saw the effects of the Spirit Sesame Grass, she casually mentioned it. This medicinal herb was the most helpful to Song Yichen's body.
Even though it couldn't be completely cured, it could be alleviated. This was already not bad! After all, this was an innate disease, and it was hard to say if he would be able to completely cure it.
Seeing that, Shen Kouqing immediately kept all her medical skills. The emperor's poison could not be cured temporarily, but Song Yichen's body still needed to be treated properly.
After she was done packing, she wanted to leave the manor.
"I need to go out for a while, Ting Zhu. Help me look after this mansion if there's anything you need help with." Shen Kouqing left a few words behind with Ting Zhu before he prepared to leave.
"Empress!" You don't want to bring Ting Zhu? " Hearing Shen Kouqing's words, Ting Zhu looked a little lonely as she asked.
"I'll be out for a while and will be back soon. I'm worried about leaving the matters of the manor to others, so I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on them for me!" Shen Kouqing comforted Ting Zhu and then left.
Despite what Shen Kouqing said, Ting Zhu understood that even if Shen Kouqing knew that she did not have the ability to protect herself, she would only be a burden if she met with danger.
She sighed and went in.
Since he was a burden, then why did he have to drag others down? Ting Zhu understood.
Shen Kouqing came to the best drugstore in the capital. It had all kinds of rare and precious herbs, but they were extremely expensive, so very few people came.
Not many people were sick, but most people could not afford to buy the herbs here. Even though there were drugs that could be cured, they died of illness.
"Miss, what kind of medicinal ingredients do you want?" I have all kinds of rare and precious herbs here, and you can't buy any of them. When the shopkeeper saw Shen Kouqing, he quickly rushed forward to do business.
Normally, his store would be devoid of people. Now that there were finally people here, he naturally had to properly greet them when he had business.
Moreover, Shen Kouqing's outfit revealed that she was not an ordinary person. If the shopkeeper saw it, she naturally had to seize this opportunity.
"Is that so? Do you have any medicine that I can make a person immortal? " Shen Kouqing smiled and asked the shopkeeper.
"This …" The shopkeeper was immediately speechless.
An immortal medicine? Was there really such a medicinal herb in this world? Even if there really was one, it was definitely something that could only be found by luck. This girl really knew how to joke around.
"Don't be like this, Shopkeeper. I am only joking with you! Don't take it seriously. " Shen Kouqing kept her playfulness and said seriously to the shopkeeper.
"Aiya! So the girl is just joking with me. I said it before, whoever has nothing better to do will find some elixir of life! " The shopkeeper sighed a breath of relief as he looked at Shen Kouqing with a smile.
"The shopkeeper said that he has all kinds of rare and precious herbs, so I would like to have some of them. Do you have any?" Shen Kouqing went straight to the point.
"Of course there is the Wake Grass! "Even though our store is small, the things we sell are of great value. I wonder if young lady would like to …" As the shopkeeper spoke, he suddenly stopped.
Shen Kouqing knew what the shopkeeper meant, and took out a gold ingot from her pocket.
"Is it enough? "There's still more!" Shen Kouqing said as she took out another gold ingot.
Her continuous actions caused the shopkeeper to be dumbstruck!
This store hadn't had any business for a long time, and now that there was one, the person who entered was the God of Fortune! Looking at him, he didn't seem to be lacking in money at all. The price would go up if he wanted to. It would be a shame not to make a fortune after so many years!
"Enough! Do you want the command grass? I'll get it! Waiter! Hurry up and bring the best spirit sesame seed in our shop to this girl! " The shopkeeper looked at the gold ingot in Shen Kouqing's hands, his two eyes already unable to move away from it.
"Wait a minute, shopkeeper, the starting grass I was talking about costs a thousand years. Not even a year less." Shen Kouqing called the shopkeeper over and slowly told him his purpose.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper didn't know what to do.
It was true that he had the Incense Grass, but it only had a medicinal effect of several decades. If one were to say it was over a thousand years old, the shopkeeper had never even heard of it.
This command grass was different from other herbs. It was extremely harsh on the environment and he had coincidentally spent a lot of money to buy it, but a thousand-year-old command grass … Where could he go to find her!
"Why, Shopkeeper, no?" Shen Kouqing looked at him with hope.
The shopkeeper smiled shamefully and said, "I won't hide it from you, my lady."
"The maximum lifespan of the Inheritance Grass is only fifty years, so there really isn't the thousand-year-old Inheritance Grass."
Shen Kouqing was not surprised at all.
When she first arrived, she was already mentally prepared. With the miraculous effects of this herb, how could it be so easily obtained?
"Could I ask the shopkeeper if you know where the starting grass is?"
"This …" The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Not yet."
Shen Kouqing's heart slightly sank.
Although she had already expected this to happen, she still couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Wait!" Shen Kouqing sighed, "I don't have the Starting Grass, but do you have the Thousand Year Old Ganoderma?"
"Miss, you must be joking." The shopkeeper nodded and quickly went to get it.
They were in the largest medicine hall in the capital, how could they not even have Lingzhi?
Not long later, the shopkeeper took out a Lingzhi and handed it over to Shen Kouqing for inspection.
A thousand year ginseng was one taels of silver per year. A thousand years was one thousand taels of silver.
Shen Kouqing carefully checked it for a while, then took out a thousand silvers and gave it to the shopkeeper.
Although the thousand year old Lingzhi could not completely cure Song Yichen, it would at least be able to calm down a lot and buy more time.
