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

The eunuch guided Wen Qingcheng to sit down, then left and closed the door. Wen Qingcheng subconsciously looked towards the door.

The emperor smiled and said, "Pharmacist Wen, don't be nervous. I asked you to come here to ask about Yanyue's condition."

Wen Qingcheng was about to speak when the emperor interrupted her and waved her over. Wen Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then stood up, walked towards the emperor, and stood on one side of the desk.

The emperor smiled casually and handed Wen Qingcheng a book. Wen Qingcheng took it blankly and saw the words "Shan Hai Qi Jing Zhuan" on the cover. She only knew that in her previous life, there was an ancient book called "Shan Hai Jing". She didn't expect that there was also a "Shan Hai Qi Jing Zhuan" in this world.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Seeing Wen Qingcheng's bewildered expression, the emperor explained, "It's not surprising that you haven't read this book 'The Legend of Mountains and Seas'. This is an ancient book of strange things, which records mountains and rivers, geography, ancient myths, animals, plants, oceans, medicine, minerals, etc."

Wen Qingcheng was a little puzzled. Why did the emperor give her this book? Did he think Princess Yanyue's illness was a strange disease? It was said to be chorea.

Wen Qingcheng nodded and laughed dryly, "I have devoted myself to studying medical classics and have indeed never read this book.

"There are all kinds of strange things in the world. Legend has it that there are mermaids in the South China Sea. Their singing can kill people, their tears can turn into pearls, and their oil can be used as an ever-burning lamp. Pharmacist Wen, you are extremely talented and very spiritual in making medicine. I admire you very much. I also know that you are different from ordinary pharmacists. Tell me, is there any medicine in this world that can make people immortal?" After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Wen Qingcheng with his burning dragon eyes.

Wen Qingcheng's forehead was covered with black lines. It turned out that the emperor wanted to see her alone to ask if she could make an elixir of immortality. Did all the emperors in ancient times dream of immortality? They wanted to enjoy wealth and honor forever and hold power firmly in their own hands.

Even in the end times of her previous life when technology was highly developed, there was no medicine that could make people immortal. They could only use technology to make people healthy and extend the average lifespan by 5 to 10 years as much as possible.

Wen Qingcheng said: "Your Majesty, all things in the world, the changing of seasons, the blooming and falling of flowers, are all natural laws. Although humans are the most intelligent creatures, they cannot change the natural laws of heaven."

The emperor's face was a little gloomy, but after a moment, he chuckled, "You are young, and you have been staying in the countryside. It's not that you haven't seen anything. I have many talented people under my command, and they have made a lot of tonic medicines for me. I feel a lot younger."

The emperor does look young, in his fifties, but his mental and physical state look like he is about forty. But Wen Qingcheng doesn't know how to make an elixir of life, and she doesn't want to take this job, no matter how much benefits are offered to her.

"Your Majesty is indeed in the prime of life, and our Great Qi is full of talented people." Wen Qingcheng said.

Wen Qingcheng once heard from Mo Jinghong that the third prince Mo Lianyi built an underground palace, specially recruited extraordinary people, was proficient in alchemy, and presented many strengthening pills to the emperor. Mo Lianyi was able to grasp the emperor's pain points, no wonder he was more favored than the prince. Today, when hearing the emperor's idea of ​​elixir, Wen Qingcheng suddenly had a bold guess, could it be that the person behind Mo Lianyi's mysterious underground palace was actually the emperor? !

When the emperor heard Wen Qingcheng evade the main point and answer without any loopholes, he felt somewhat displeased with her sophistication and smoothness. He had originally had great confidence in Wen Qingcheng, but in the end his hopes were dashed, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"You are the senior pharmacist appointed by me. I appreciate your talent. I hope you will not let me down."

Wen Qingcheng said: "Your Majesty values ​​me so much, I am deeply blessed by the Emperor, I dare not slack off, I will definitely develop more medicines to strengthen my body and present them to Your Majesty."

The emperor saw that Wen Qingcheng had tactfully answered him that there was no elixir of life in the world. Although he felt disappointed, he did not make things difficult for her. He talked to Wen Qingcheng about Princess Yanyue's illness and then let her go.

After a course of treatment of seven days, Princess Yanyue's condition has improved. When she was given acupuncture for the first time, Princess Yanyue would twist her body uncontrollably even when she was lying on the bed with needles. Now after the needles, her body can be temporarily stabilized, and according to feedback from the wet nurse, Princess Yanyue's body now stops twisting when she falls asleep at night.

After one course of treatment, she needs to rest for a while before undergoing the second course. Concubine Xian is eager for Wen Qingcheng to stay in the palace, but the Queen Mother has promised her that she will let her leave the palace for the New Year.

On the day of leaving the palace, Mo Jinghong and Wen Liang came to pick her up at the same time.

"Brother Mo." He ran towards Wen Qingcheng as soon as Wen Qingcheng walked out of the palace gate. Just as he was about to get close to her, he saw a noble man in gorgeous clothes getting off the carriage beside him. Looking at his elegant and noble demeanor, wasn't he her father Wen Liang?

"Dad? Why are you here?" Wen Qingcheng quickly put away her cute and naive look and changed her expression in seconds.

"Dad knew you were leaving the palace today, so he came to pick you up. Jing Hong has already arrived."

The three of them found a place to have dinner together. Before leaving, Wen Liang took out a silver note from his bosom and said, "Qingqing, take this one thousand taels and buy yourself something nice. The rest can be saved for your mother." After saying this, Wen Liang took out an exquisite flat vermilion lacquered wooden box from his pocket.

Wen Qingcheng took it and opened it to see that it was a pair of dragon and phoenix cards carved from two pieces of white jade. They felt cool to the touch and looked of excellent quality. The phoenix card was woven with a pink gold-threaded buckle cord, and the dragon card was woven with a black gold-threaded buckle cord.

"Dad, is this for me?"

"You and Zicheng are alone, and I don't know if Zicheng still remembers me, his incompetent father." Wen Liang was full of guilt and indebtedness.

Wen Qingcheng sighed softly and thought, although Wen Liang is still alive, it is fate that the family of four cannot be reunited.

"Dad, don't worry. Zicheng has always loved you. No one in the family blames you. I had my own difficulties at that time."

Wen Liang felt relieved to see that his daughter did not hate him at all, and took out an exquisite purse from his sleeve pocket. Inside was a jade pendant carved from white jade, woven with exquisite silk and gold threads. Men often wore such jade pendants around their waists.

"It's really beautiful." Wen Qingcheng said. The jade looked like it came from the same piece of jade.

“This is for the first grade.”

Mo Jinghong was surprised that he also had a gift. It seemed that Wen Liang treated him like his own child. He raised the corners of his lips, took the jade pendant, and hung it around his waist.

Wen Liang handed the purse in his hand to Wen Qingcheng. Wen Qingcheng took it and found that there was something inside. When she opened it, she found it was a jade bracelet, which was made of the same jade as their jade pendants.

Wen Liang added, "This bracelet is for your mother. It's her size."

"Thank you, Dad. I will definitely bring it to you."

After the three of them finished their meal, Wen Liang returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Mo Jinghong asked Ah Falcon to drive Wen Qingcheng to the street to buy New Year's goods for her return home.
