After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Zheng Xian nodded and said, "I understand. After receiving your prescription, Doctor Sun has urgently purchased the medicine, and the pills should be ready soon."

After the pills are produced, they also need to be distributed by an institution, and I suddenly thought of Fan Chunlai’s Jishengtang.

Although the Fan family is extremely poor, they are proud and would rather endure poverty than suck the blood of the people. Such a Jishengtang is the most suitable official agency for the distribution of medicines.

So I said to Zheng Xian, "Your Majesty, after the pills are made, can we give them to Fan's Jishengtang to distribute?"

"Jishengtang? Why is it Jishengtang?" Zheng Xian asked puzzledly.

I said, "The doctor I invited to Changlu Academy last time was Doctor Fan Chunlai from Jishengtang. Doctor Fan is a skilled doctor and a low-key person. Most importantly, Jishengtang has a good reputation and is the most popular medical clinic among the common people. He will not do anything to deceive Your Majesty and the common people."

Zheng Xian had obviously heard of Jishengtang, but he didn't want to make such an important decision right away, so he said, "I will discuss this matter with the crown prince and the court officials before making a decision."

I was a little disappointed. I didn't expect Zheng Xian to not accept my suggestion. But he was the emperor, so he couldn't act so rashly.

Thinking of this, I said, "Your Majesty, I want to personally plant the cowpox and collect the cowpox vaccine, but I can't do it alone. Can Your Majesty order Fan Chunlai to bring a few doctors to help?"

It’s Fan Chunlai again!

Seeing that Fan Chunlai and I were arguing, Zheng Xian had no choice but to say, "The Imperial Medical Office also has many doctors with excellent medical skills. Why don't you want them?"

I shook my head and said, "After the outbreak, no matter how many doctors there are, they will not be enough. The doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau will stay to guard the imperial city. Your Majesty needs to summon doctors from all over the world and be ready to fight at any time. I'm afraid this virus war will not be easy to win."

Zheng Xian sighed deeply and said, "I'm afraid the world will be in chaos."

I glanced at Zheng Xian and said, "We will fight back if an enemy comes. We will not cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either. We are united and will surely defeat the virus."

Zheng Xian laughed loudly and said, "A'man is right. We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it. With A'man here, I am not afraid of anything, no matter how big it is."

I could only laugh dryly and said, "Your Majesty, what about the cow?"

Zheng Xian waved his hand and said, "I have plenty of cattle. I have ordered that you can use the cattle in the royal ranch at will."

My eyes lit up when I heard this, and I quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. As time is tight, I plan to leave the palace and go to Xishan right now. Please grant me an imperial decree, and I will take Doctor Fan with me."

After hearing this, Zheng Xian called out "Little Wei Zi", and Wei Yi hurried forward to spread the paper and grind the ink.

Zheng Xian sat down at the desk and quickly wrote a few lines of big characters, then handed the paper to me and said, "You have my identity jade card on you. With the identity jade card and this secret decree, you can be transferred to a doctor in the world."

I thanked him quickly.

I carefully folded the secret decree and hid it in my clothes. Then I remembered that I had no money. I said shamelessly, "Your Majesty, Ah Man has no money. Can you give me some money to protect myself?"

Zheng Xian glanced at me and said, "I remember that the prince gave you tens of thousands of taels of silver not long ago. Did you spend it all so quickly?"

I said, "I saved those banknotes to give to Yiping as a dowry in the future, so I am penniless now and can hardly move."

Asking Zheng Xian for money always makes me feel like asking my dad for living expenses. Every time I ask for living expenses, my stingy dad always asks me all sorts of questions, fearing that I will spend money recklessly.

Zheng Xian stared at me for a long time and said, "You want to be paid before you even start working?"

This face and tone are exactly the same as my dad's!

I got angry and shouted, "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me, you stingy bastard!"

After saying that, I turned around and walked out angrily.

Wei Yi pulled me aside, quietly took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed them into my hand, saying, "Why are you so angry with His Majesty, kid?"

I took the thick stack of banknotes, smiled so hard that my teeth showed, patted Wei Yi on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you."

Wei gave me a look and said, "Why thank me? Thank your Majesty."

I walked up to Zheng Xian somewhat reluctantly, waved the banknote in my hand, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zheng Xian snorted and said, "You have quite a temper."

I also snorted and said, "Who told you to be stingy?"

Zheng Xian was about to get angry, but I took the banknote and ran away, shouting as I ran: "I'm going to consult with Doctor Sun first, and I'm going to leave for Xishan."

Zheng Xian looked at my back and shook his head helplessly.

Wei Yi smiled and said, "This girl is quite lively."

Zheng Xian also laughed and said, "Zi Yan is cold and arrogant, and he doesn't talk much; the crown prince is calm and steady, but not lively enough. Only Ah Man is lively and smart. Every time I see her, I feel like I've become several dozen years younger."

Wei Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is in the prime of life. If you are several dozen years younger, wouldn't that be like returning to childhood?"

Zheng Xian's eyes were full of nostalgia, and he said, "Yes, at that time, my father and mother were still alive, and I lived a carefree life. That was the time I miss the most."

Wei Yi knew that Zheng Xian had always been portraying himself as a tough guy since the death of the late emperor, but he knew that this was just an act forced on His Majesty.

Your Majesty has always wanted to live a free and worry-free life, but as a king, the burden you bear is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Just as Wei Yi was about to speak, Zheng Yan's voice suddenly came from outside: "Father, Father, are you here?"

When Zheng Xian heard this, he strode out quickly.

As Zheng Xian walked to the door, he saw Zheng Yan walking towards him in a hurry.

When Zheng Yan saw Zheng Xian, his eyes lit up with joy. He even forgot to perform formalities and shouted, "Father, I have been looking for you for so long!"

Zheng Xian said in dissatisfaction: "As a prince, how can you be so loud and noisy? What do you want from me?"

Zheng Yan quickly stepped forward and said, "My father asked me to find those royal merchants of medicinal materials, but I don't know how they got the news about smallpox, and they refused to see me."

Zheng Xian did not get angry but laughed instead, saying, "As I expected, these imperial merchants of medicinal herbs are all from the Gui family. Gui Minde must have thought that without the imperial merchants of medicinal herbs to help me, I would be deposed this time, right?"

Zheng Yan asked incredulously: "Since Father knew they were from the Gui family, why did he continue to use them?"

Zheng Xian sneered and said, "If we don't use them, how can we trick that old fox surnamed Gui into the cage?"

Zheng Yan didn't understand what Zheng Xian meant. He was only worried about the problem of medicinal materials, so he asked, "Father, what should we do now?"

Zheng Xian said: "Don't worry, I have already made preparations. Medicinal materials are not a problem. Don't worry."

After hearing this, Zheng Yan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I was worried that I would be scolded by my father when I returned. It turns out that my father had already made preparations. I am relieved now."
