One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]
The news of the emperor disposing of a few ministers for Shen Ninghua swept through the entire capital like a hurricane, and some other active officials hurriedly curbed their actions. At this point in time, they had no choice but to take action.
Shen Ninghua, you can only blame your second imperial brother for liking you. He himself is a very prestigious person in the army, and if you add on the one that my royal father likes a lot, then there will be no one else in this empire. So, even if you don't die, your reputation will be ruined!
Baili JinChuan was in deep thought, thinking about how to turn the situation around and destroy Shen Ninghua.
Inside the Canton Courtyard, Shen Ninghua also heard the news.
"Miss, your servant found some information regarding Senior Servant Gui's family members. Take a look." Hong Ling walked in with an envelope and handed it to Shen Ninghua.
Shen Ninghua read the contents on the letter and crumpled it into a ball. With a cold and murderous tone, she said, "Baili JinChuan, it's really you. I won't go and get even with you first. You actually dared to set your mind on me first!"
Hong Ling was shocked by the sudden murderous aura. "Miss, please don't be so angry."
"I'm fine. I never intended to let him go. Since he made the first move, how can I not repay him? "Hong Ling, send someone to tell Chu Junyi that we can begin."
"Yes, miss."
The capital was quiet and serene, like an empty city. In the Fifth Prince's residence, Baili JinChuan looked at himself in the mirror, and then he suddenly raised his hand and swept the mirror down to the ground, "Damn it, this is really disgusting!" If a prince had scars on his face, he wouldn't be qualified to become the emperor. The pimples on his face were getting worse and worse, and there wasn't a single good spot on his face. How could he not be anxious?
Several imperial physicians walked in with their heads bowed, their eyes clearly filled with fear. "Greetings to His Highness the Fifth Prince."
"Get up, didn't any of you say that the medicine would work? Why did the pimples on my face never heal?" Baili JinChuan was flustered and exasperated.
"Reporting to Your Highness, that medicine is indeed effective. Two other people in the mansion who were infected with varicella have already started to cover themselves with scabs after taking this medicine."
Baili Jinchuan picked up the teacup by his hand and smashed it towards the Imperial Physician who was speaking, "Bullshit! Is this prince's life something that those lowly servants can compare with? Their skin is rough and their flesh is thick and their life is low. Does the fact that they took the medicine prove that they are suitable for me to use? "
Hearing these cold words, the imperial physicians began to sweat profusely, wishing that they could faint on the ground. "Your Highness Fifth Prince, this official is working hard to find a cure for the chicken pox on your face."
"Work hard on it?" "How much longer will you need to research until my face is ruined and I lose my life?" Baili JinChuan almost lost his mind, and roared without thinking.
"This official has been wrongly accused. How can you think so highly of this official? If the fifth prince does not trust me, I would rather crash into this pillar to prove my innocence." The imperial physician lifted his head, preparing to ram it against a pillar in the middle of the hall.
Baili Jin's lips curved into a cold smile as she looked at the singing imperial physician. She gave a cold snort, "Pretentious. This prince knows very well about your abilities. Don't put on an act."
"Fifth Prince, how can you think so highly of this subject …."
The imperial physician wanted to explain himself, but was cut off by a report coming from the door.
"Your Highness, someone from the palace has come."
Baili JinChuan's eyes suddenly flashed, and he turned to look at the imperial physician on the ground. "You two can go back and continue researching the prescription. You may leave."
When all the imperial physicians had filed out, he opened his mouth and looked at the imperial guards. "What news from the palace?"
"Your Highness, someone said that Princess Radiant had entered the imperial palace and received a summons from the emperor."
"What?" "That's impossible!" Baili JinChuan rejected it immediately. Shen Xuanlin still had chicken pox. No matter how much Shen Ninghua was loved by his royal father, his father would never risk his life to see her.
"Reporting to Your Highness, this servant didn't believe it in the beginning, but according to the scouts, there was indeed something like that. Also, the emperor seems extremely happy, he even recruited people from the Imperial Physician Courtyard overnight. The Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Physician Courtyard are still stuck in the palace and haven't come out yet."
"Shen Ninghua first entered the palace, then Imperial Father found the imperial physician, and researched until now … Could it be that Shen Ninghua gave him a prescription to treat varicella? " Baili JinChuan suddenly stood up, "That must be the case. If it wasn't for that, Royal Father would never have summoned Shen Ninghua. No wonder the officials I sent to join Shen Ninghua were beaten so badly. Shen Ninghua offered a prescription as well as a great contribution that benefits the nation and the citizens. How could royal father punish her at this critical juncture! "
The guard kneeling on the ground trembled. When he mentioned the Emperor earlier, the Fifth Prince had gritted his teeth. This wasn't something he could listen to.
Baili JinChuan seemed to have just realized that there was still someone on the ground. He lowered his head and scanned Li Yao's face, which was covered in cold sweat, and asked with a cold voice, "What did I say just now?"
"What is His Highness talking about, did you just say something?" The guard raised his head, his face full of suspicion. He naturally had to pretend to be stupid.
"He's a smart person, you can leave."
Fortunately, his reaction was fast and quick, and before he could stop himself from thinking about it, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then, he was suddenly stunned, and slowly lowered his head to look at his chest.
Baili JinChuan sneered as he pulled out his long sword. Without even looking at the guards who died with grievances, he said with a gloomy tone, "The smarter a man is, the more worried I will feel about him."
The news of the varicella spread more and more evilly, and the common folk of the capital almost could not bear it. They felt as if the sky above them was about to collapse.
Just as they were about to despair, an exciting piece of news spread throughout the entire process, "We've met Duke Zhao Hua's younger brother, Shen Xuanlin. He has chicken pox."
Seeing chicken pox was good... These four words were like a heart-strengthening drug that had been poured into the bodies of the common folk of the capital. Countless people were crying tears of joy. It had been almost twenty days, and finally there was good news.
Not long after, another message arrived. The Imperial Hospital had developed a prescription for the treatment of varicella, and was no longer afraid of the appearance of varicella in the future.
The commoners were all cheering in joy. The chicken pox had troubled them for many generations, and they themselves could not even count the numbers. They only knew which family had a child and were afraid of hearing the word 'chicken pox', afraid that the child they loved would suddenly have chicken pox.
"Have you heard? Rumor has it that the formula for the varicella was presented by Princess Radiant."
"How do you know that?"
"You'll know once you think about it. The last time she treated the plague, it was because Princess Zhao Hua helped to find the prescription. And now, it's the princess' little brother who got better first. Do you still not understand?"
"Right, what you said makes sense."
"Right, the Duo Jue young master sure is blessed to be able to take a wife like this."
"Who wouldn't?"
On the second floor, Chu Junyi poured Shen Ninghua a cup of tea. The smile never left her lips as she replied, "Ninghua, there are people envious of me on the streets right now. Everyone says it's my fortune to be able to marry you."
Shen Ninghua rolled her eyes at him, "Marry him? "We don't even have a marriage contract. What's the point of saying that it's too early to get married."
"It's getting late, it's getting late. Don't worry, within three days, the Emperor will surely grant us our marriage."
"Three days? "What did you do to influence the emperor's thoughts?"
"It's not left or right, it's a request! I plead for your majesty to marry Princess Radiant off to me in glory! " There was a smile on Chu Jun's lips, his eyes were full of warmth, he wished that he could melt the ice.
Shen Ninghua paused for a moment before turning to look out the window, ignoring Chu Junyi.
"Xiao Hua, what I said is the truth. However, I still need you to cooperate with me for a bit."
"How can we cooperate?"
Chu Junyi smiled and raised her hand to signal for Shen Ninghua to come over.
Shen Ninghua looked at him suspiciously but did not make a move.
Chu Junyi got up and walked over to Shen Ninghua's side. She placed both hands on Shen Ninghua's shoulders, lowered her head and whispered into her ear, "You …"
The next day, the emperor sent an imperial physician to deliver medicinal ingredients to every aristocratic family that had chicken pox. He ordered people to watch over the brewing process and deliver the medicine to those who had chicken pox.
The person who came to deliver the medicine was the eunuch, Xi Ping, whom he bribed to serve in front of the Emperor.
The eunuch then personally brought the medicine to Baili Jinchuan with a fawning expression, "Greetings, Fifth Prince."
"Mm, you just so happened to be able to deliver medicine to my house, what a coincidence."
"How is that a coincidence? This is something that this servant got someone to specially help me change."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Your Highness, when this servant was serving in front of the emperor, I chanced upon hearing that the emperor had ordered a staff to punish a few officials, and that Princess Radiant was also in the emperor's study. Moreover, this servant had glanced through the gap in the door and seemed to see that Princess Zhao Hua had handed a book over to the emperor."
"A book, what book? This servant thought that this piece of information might be useful to His Highness, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to tell you. "
Baili JinChuan threw a bag over, "Okay, you can leave first."
The eunuch walked out of the room and opened the bag to take a look. When he saw the banknotes worth 1000 taels of silver inside, he smiled in satisfaction. This trip was simply too worth it.
In the room, Baili JinChuan's thoughts were spinning rapidly as a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time. Last time, Shen Ninghua had helped him to develop a house to treat the plague, and now, a house to treat chicken pox. Wait, the prescription … Fang Zi... Could it be that Shen Ninghua has a prescription for treating all kinds of diseases? "
When he thought about how Shen Ninghua had disappeared half a year ago, he suddenly had a bold guess. In the past half year, Shen Ninghua must have experienced some sort of fortuitous gain. Not only did he cure himself of the poison, he even developed a few rare recipes.
