The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

"It's confirmed. Just select a few from these three companies." Princess Anle saw that everything else was the same as in previous years, so she decided on Minghua Pharmaceutical, He's, and Kang's. There were about a dozen drugs in total.

"Now that these three have been decided, please comment on them one by one." The emperor ordered the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Pharmacy to help comment so that Princess Anle could select the final winner.

During this period, the emperor suddenly felt like meeting the pharmacists of these three companies and ordered the eunuch to announce his decree.

Wen Qingcheng and the others were waiting in a side hall. According to the procedure given by the palace, after the selection was completed, the emperor would give a banquet at noon, and the selected pharmaceutical factories, including pharmacists like them, would be invited to the banquet.

When the eunuch read out He's name, Wen Qingcheng knew that this wave was settled, and thought that they would go to the banquet now. After asking, she found out that the banquet would not start until noon, and now was the time because the emperor wanted to see them.

Wen Qingcheng took a few deep breaths. It wasn't because she was nervous, but because she was afraid that if she got excited, she would blurt out the word "national quintessence" again and embarrass Mo Jinghong.

When Wen Qingcheng and the others were brought in, the atmosphere in the hall was lively. People from the Imperial Pharmacy were commenting on the exhibitions, and the princes and princesses had left their seats and were looking at the exhibition areas one by one in the hall. The emperor was sitting high in a chair, drinking tea and taking a rest.

Mo Jinghong saw Wen Qingcheng coming in and hurried over to find her. "Brother Mo, what's going on now? Do we need a break? Our medicine..."

Mo Jinghong didn't want Wen Qingcheng to know that Princess Anle disliked her because she was a newcomer, so he avoided the main point and said, "The medicine made by Cheng'er is a masterpiece. Your donkey-hide gelatin and wind-cold granules have been selected. There are also other medicines from the He family, a total of eight kinds."

"Ah? The Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pills were rejected?!" Wen Qingcheng was a little surprised. This was her trump card. She thought that the Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pills were chosen as the first prize. Not only could they be exported, but they would also be very popular and benefit many patients. But it was rejected...

Mo Jinghong nodded and looked at Wen Qingcheng lovingly, "The princess has been praising your granules."

Wen Qingcheng forced a smile and said softly, "I'll go and see which medicines other families have been selected."

Mo Jinghong saw that the emperor was still drinking tea. Now was free time, and there was nothing to do. The banquet would start soon, and the winner would be announced in the afternoon. "Come here." Mo Jinghong subconsciously pulled Wen Qingcheng's hand. Wen Qingcheng, considering that they were in the palace, quickly dodged.

Mo Jinghong also realized it, gave Wen Qingcheng an ambiguous look, and took her to the exhibition area of ​​Minghua Pharmaceutical.

The two of them were secretly flirting with each other, and others might not know about it, but Mo Lianche, who was sitting not far away, could see everything. Wen Qingcheng was wearing a water-red brocade dress today, with a brocade belt cinching her slender waist. She had a ruby-studded hairpin on her head, and long gold-beaded tassels trembling down. The ruby ​​pendant on her forehead made her skin look whiter than snow, and her whole body was glowing white, making her particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

Mo Lianche's eyes frequently lingered on Wen Qingcheng. Seeing the glances between her and Mo Jinghong, he felt a little depressed.

The Imperial Pharmacy was discussing and commenting at the Kang's exhibition area. Wen Qingcheng came to the Minghua Pharmaceutical exhibition area, picked up a pill from a pile of pills, smelled it, broke it open and put it in her mouth to taste it. Mo Jinghong stretched out his big hand and put it on Wen Qingcheng's chin, "You're going to throw up! If I don't watch you for a while, how can you take medicine carelessly?"

Wen Qingcheng vomited obediently, with a look of surprise on her face. This pill...isn't it aspirin? The scientific name of aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, and salicylic acid is contained in willow bark. Poor families who can't afford medical treatment use folk remedies to boil willow bark in water, which can play a role in clearing away heat and detoxification. Ordinary people naturally don't know which active ingredient is really effective, they just think it is the willow bark itself, but they didn't expect that Lu Qiuyu would figure it out.

The medicine was boiled from willow bark and then purified with a special medicine-making device to extract the active ingredients. Since the chemical system of the Qi Dynasty was not perfect, although Lu Qiuyu extracted the active ingredients from willow bark, he did not know that it was salicylic acid, and made it into pills. Because it was extracted from willow bark, it was named "Liu Dan".

"Brother Mo, I know this stuff. It's extracted from willow bark. However, with current technology, Minghua Pharmaceutical can only extract salicylic acid at best. Salicylic acid is highly acidic. Although it can relieve fever and pain after taking it, it can strongly irritate the stomach and cause abdominal pain."

Wen Qingcheng said as she stood beside Mo Jinghong, holding a pill in her hand. Unexpectedly, everyone around her looked at Wen Qingcheng.

Ling Du was close to Wen Qingcheng and heard what she said just now clearly. He was shocked. Who is this Wen Qingcheng? Liu Dan has been kept top secret since it was created and was only released today. How did she know that the shortcoming of Liu Dan is that it will cause stomach pain?

At this time, the emperor saw that everyone's eyes were cast towards Wen Qingcheng, and then he noticed the beautiful girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old in the hall. I don't know what she said just now, but everyone below looked at her.

"What's your name? Repeat what you just said." The emperor's majestic voice sounded. The whole audience fell silent. Wen Qingcheng was like an ant under a magnifying glass focusing sunlight, feeling the burning gazes from all directions.

Wen Qingcheng subconsciously glanced at Mo Jinghong, who nodded slightly at her. Wen Qingcheng stepped forward and saluted the emperor. "Your Majesty, I just said..."

Wen Qingcheng repeated what she had just said, and the people present instantly exploded and began to whisper. The third prince raised his eyes and noticed the beautiful girl under the stage. It turned out that she was Wen Qingcheng. The third prince Mo Lianyi had heard of her before. She had a secret meeting with Mo Jinghong in the He Mansion in the middle of the night. He thought she was a secluded girl, but he didn't expect that she was fearless in front of the emperor and talked freely. What was even more strange was that she actually knew Liu Dan's shortcomings.

Princess Anle had originally planned to order Liu Dan from Minghua Pharmaceutical, but after hearing what Wen Qingcheng said, she thought to herself: It's a good thing that I didn't decide on it in the end. Although Liu Dan from Minghua Pharmaceutical is a miraculous medicine for relieving fever and pain, it has too many side effects. If it irritates the stomach every time it is taken, wouldn't it be more harmful to the elderly and children?

"Pharmacist Wen, how did you know that Liu Dan would irritate the stomach?" Princess Anle said, then looked at Ling Du, "Pharmacist Ling, Pharmacist Wen said that taking Liu Dan would irritate the stomach. Is that true?"

Ling Du was sweating with nervousness, and he whispered to the Second Prince. This was a question from the princess, and if he didn't tell the truth in front of the emperor, he would be deceiving the emperor. Besides, Liu Dan's shortcoming did exist. Even if he kept it a secret now, Princess Anle would know it sooner or later.

"In reply...in reply to the princess, Pharmacist Wen is indeed an expert. He identified Liu Dan's weakness with just one look. But there is nothing we can do about it. This medicine is really effective and quick. In fact, there is no need to worry too much about irritating the stomach. Just take it after a meal to greatly reduce the irritation."
