Chapter 60

Dispel Plague Decoction.

The head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine blushed even more as he listened.

"The Trichosanthes Root Powder can generate fluids and moisten dryness. Adding another three gram, what do you all think?"

Xiao Yunzhou saw his daughter Chu Chu sleeping soundly in his arms, and he acted even more calmly.

Looking at the imperial physicians, he continued to ask questions, "If you think this prescription of mine is incorrect, feel free to point it out and suggest changes."

The head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine was the first to speak, but his lips trembled, unable to utter a single word.

Change?

How can it be changed?

At first listen, this prescription had never been used in such a way before.

The first few medicinal ingredients were fierce and aggressive, seeming like something a quack doctor would prescribe to harm people.

Both dispelling and purging, with a heavy dosage.

He had initially wanted to scoff at it, not taking the Emperor Xiao Yunzhou seriously, and dismiss it with a smile.

But as he listened to the later medications, the head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine found it increasingly difficult to refute, even finding himself intrigued and attentive.

After purging and dispelling, there was tonifying the spleen and generating fluids.

Balancing purging with tonification, maintaining the body's balance.

Upon careful consideration, could this Dispel Plague Decoction actually make sense?

The head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine prided himself on his medical skills, and with careful thought, he could also come up with a prescription that was stable and effective.

But as the Emperor revealed the precise proportions of each medicinal ingredient, the head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine gradually fell silent, his eyes shining with a hint of shame.

Choosing which medicine to use was not difficult upon reflection.

But the precise combination of medicines, their roles, and accurate proportions, that was not something that could be figured out in a day or two.

One gram or three grams, when applied to a person, a slight error can lead to a thousand miles of deviation!

"Your Majesty... Your servant... I'm afraid I need some time to consider whether this prescription needs adjustments," the head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine said, his face turning red as he looked around.

He saw the other imperial physicians already showing signs of astonishment and admiration towards Emperor Xiao Yunzhou.

The head immediately said, "At first listen, Your Majesty's Dispel Plague Decoction is truly a good prescription. Adding a bit more would be harmful, and reducing a bit would weaken it."

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou's expression lit up upon hearing this.

Truly, this was a good prescription known only to the fairy little princess!

"I wonder, where did Your Majesty acquire such a reliable prescription?" After some consideration, the head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine couldn't help but curiously ask.

Previously, the Emperor had mentioned finding it in a book, but the imperial physicians didn't quite believe it.

Are you kidding?

Anyone could come up with this prescription?

The head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine thought about it, and decided to skip over the Emperor's previous words, giving him a way out, and said thoughtfully, "For such a prescription, it must have been devised by an experienced practitioner. If Your Majesty were to bring this person into the Imperial Academy of Medicine, they would surely be able to fulfill their ambitions."

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou's face had a strange expression upon hearing this.

Indeed, even if the little princess was a fairy reincarnated, she was now just a speechless baby.

She didn't even know how to walk, so how could she enter the Imperial Academy of Medicine and work with this group of white-haired imperial physicians?

These people couldn't hear the little princess's thoughts, and were not fortunate enough to experience the fairy's prophecies and abilities.

He didn't want to reveal the secret that his beloved daughter was a reincarnated fairy in front of these people.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou smiled mysteriously and had the young eunuchs seat these imperial physicians.

Raising his hand, he said, "I have a lot of state affairs to handle, how can I have the leisure to visit the Imperial Academy of Medicine every day?"

The Empress had already heard about the incident of the Zhou Family insulting the Minister of Justice's daughter that day, and she was furious too.

Seeing a minister about to defect to the Eldest Prince, only to be thwarted by the Zhou Family!

The Eldest Prince, Cheng Yuan, was shocked to learn of this from his mother, he couldn't believe the audacity of the Zhou Family.

"Mother, did our maternal grandfather really raise such despicable descendants? They have no regard for the law! How did our maternal grandfather choose his students?!"

The Empress's breath caught, "Cheng Yuan, there are at least a hundred students who have studied under your maternal grandfather."

"At your maternal grandfather's academy, there are even thousands of scholars."

"Where there are people, there are bound to be bad ones. Your maternal grandfather has also educated many good students," the Empress hurriedly spoke up for her father.

The Eldest Prince was still a bit upset, "The Emperor must be displeased. The time for the princes to study was a suggestion from our maternal grandfather to the Emperor Grandfather."

"The Emperor did not punish our maternal grandfather today, but rejected the schedule he set for the princes to study as a warning?"

Thinking about it, the Eldest Prince stood up, "No, I must go persuade the Emperor."

"Even if our maternal grandfather was wrong, each matter should be dealt with separately. What's wrong with us studying more?"

What a stubborn son!

The Empress anxiously held him back, "Don't go, I will have someone from the Hanlin Academy deliver a message to the Chancellors to petition against the Emperor's arrangement for the princes' study and rest."

The Eldest Prince finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, late at night, the mothers of the Third Prince and Fourth Prince also couldn't sleep.

"What does this mean? Does the Emperor think you're stupid? So he wants you to drink an extra bowl of milk?"

They were all unable to sleep.

"How did the Emperor find out that you're dumber than the others!?"

Third Prince, Fourth Prince: "..."

Who's dumb, who's dumb!?

What do you mean by how did the Emperor find out!?

...

"Achoo—"

【Could someone be talking about me?】

Xiao Chu Chu woke up and sneezed.

She quickly realized she was in the Emperor Father's arms.

And the Emperor Father was striding towards the Donghua Palace where Concubine Liu was.

【Huh? The Emperor Father seems a bit angry?】

Xiao Yunzhou paused.

His stern expression softened for a moment, but quickly turned back to look at his daughter with annoyance.

Yes, he was a bit angry.

After writing a prescription for the Imperial Academy of Medicine, he came to his senses a bit.

Xiao Yunzhou strode into Concubine Liu's still-lit bedroom, his gaze serious.

"Concubine Liu, how did you come up with the idea to improve the weaving process?"

Is Concubine Liu's method of improvement the same as the plague remedy he received?

Both came from the thoughts of the little princess!?

Xiao Yunzhou had Zhang Jia take the little princess away, then walked up to Concubine Liu, solemnly questioning her.

"You explain to Us, you have been in the palace for a long time, how do you know about improving the silk reeling machine?"
