The grass in the factory should be plucked

Shen Muchun had made many contributions in front of the emperor and empress, and when asked what reward he wanted, he always said he wanted medicinal herbs.

Combined with the inventory in Ghost Doctor Valley, they finally gathered the several herbs that Jiang Li wanted.

Despite his busy schedule, Xie Changan took time out to deliver the herbs to Jiang Li.

"Take a look, is this what's on your prescription?"

Jiang Li jumped up happily: "All the herbs are there? Sir, you are amazing!"

Xie Changan smiled slightly: "I dare not take credit for this. If you want to thank someone, then thank our Divine Doctor Shen."

"Brother Shen is also very capable! It's not convenient for me to go out, so please treat him to a meal for me, sir. Let's go to Longmen Restaurant and put it on my account."

Xie Changan snorted: "I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to suddenly become the behind-the-scenes boss of Longmen Commercial Bank."

Jiang Li smiled slyly: "Sir, do you know why it is called Longmen Trading Company? Jiangli means 'carp leaping over the dragon gate'."

He was the one who came up with the name "Jiang Li", and Jiang Li named Longmen Commercial Company after it. Xie Changan felt inexplicably happy, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly: "Then I wish Master Jiang to succeed in his endeavor."

"Thank you for your kind words!" Jiang Li said with a smile.

She looked through the herbs and said, "Brother Shen gave me quite a bit, enough to make two doses of medicinal bath materials. Sir, I'll leave one for you, but you don't have a spiritual consciousness to protect you, so you can't take the medicinal bath without my protection."

Xie Changan was stunned. She had to protect him before he could take the medicinal bath? Was that what he was thinking?

His ears turned red as he asked, "Then, do you need my protection?"

Jiang Li also reacted and blushed: "I have spiritual consciousness to protect my body, of course I don't need it!"

Xie Changan looked at her deeply and said, "Don't act rashly. Wait for me for a few days. I will be waiting outside. If you need anything, just call me."

"Okay. Thank you, sir."

Xie Changan was afraid that this girl would not listen and use the herbs on her own initiative, so he rushed to get her back, even working overtime for several days, before he found time to protect Jiang Li.

That night, he gave Jiang Li and Yin Jiu a day off, and the three of them fiddled with the medicinal herbs in the cold palace.

Yinjiu was happy to help. He was really afraid that these two people, a man and a woman alone, might do something fatal in the dark and windy night.

Jiang Li sorted the medicinal materials into categories, waited for Yin Jiu to boil the hot water and poured it into the bathtub, and then put the herbs into the water one by one.

Xie Changan and Yin Jiu could not help being amazed when they saw the water in the bathtub bubbling, turning blood red, and then a pool of dark blue.

Yin Jiu wanted to put his hand in to try, but Jiang Li opened it with a palm.

"Brother Yinjiu, do you want to die? If you put your hand in there, only bones will be left when it comes out!"

"Then you... still want to go in and soak?"

Yin Jiu was so frightened that his face turned pale. Could it be that Xiao Shiliu was... the White Bone Demon?

"I have practiced the art of body refining, so I am naturally not afraid." Jiang Li said, "You two can go out."

Seeing Xie Changan's frowning brows and a worried look on his face, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, sir. I'll be fine."

Xie Changan frowned and said, "Don't force yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, come out immediately."

"Yeah, I get it, you guys go out."

Jiang Li kicked them both out, closed the door, took off his outer clothes, and only wore his underwear.

She first covered her entire body with her spiritual sense, then slowly stepped into the bathtub.

A medicinal bath requires immersion of the entire body, including the head, in water.

Jiang Li took a deep breath, concentrated and held his breath, then dived into the water. He then slowly withdrew his consciousness and began to practice his skills.

At first there was a sharp pain, and dense beads of blood seeped out of the skin.

As the technique runs through the body, it begins to temper the skin and flesh, and the pain is gone.

Xie Changan and Yin Jiu waited outside for an hour, only to hear silence in the house.

Xie Changan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He stepped forward and knocked on the door gently: "Sixteen, are you okay?"

The room was quiet and no one answered.

Xie Changan raised his voice and said, "If you are okay, just answer me."

Jiang Li still said nothing.

Xie Changan was a little anxious: "If you don't say anything, I'll come in!"

There was still no movement in the room. Did something happen to her?

A sudden panic struck Xie Changan, who felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. He pushed open the door and strode into the house.

With a "splash", Jiang Li emerged from the dark blue water, revealing a face as bright as the moon. The scars on it were completely gone. Her skin was as white as snow, her lips were as red as blood, her long black hair was scattered on her shoulders, and a pair of beautiful eyes like stars stared at me...

Xie Changan suddenly became speechless.

"Sir, how did you get in?" Jiang Li blushed and quickly shrank back into the water.

"I'm glad you're okay..." Xie Changan calmed himself down and quickly turned around to leave.

Jiang Li tidied herself up and walked out of the house.

When Yin Jiu saw her slowly walking towards him in the moonlight, he was speechless for a long time. Jiang Li, who had recovered her appearance, was even more beautiful than the previous Concubine Yu!

"Little Sixteen, you must never let anyone see this face!"

Jiang Li was a little distressed: "I didn't expect the medicinal bath to be so effective. Those scars are completely gone! Should I cut two more scars on myself?"

"Don't do that!" Yin Jiu hurriedly stopped him. This was such a waste of resources!

"Just put on the mask." Xie Changan looked at her deeply.

Just now he even had the urge to hide her and never let anyone see her again.

It is true that beauty is a disaster!

Xie Changan warned himself to stay away from her in the future, and then said calmly: "Since you are fine, I will leave first."

Jiang Li didn't understand why he suddenly became cold, and didn't dare to ask. She bit her lip and watched him fly over the wall and disappear with a wronged look on her face.

Xie Changan felt like a thorn in his back when she stared at him with such aggrieved look in her eyes, and he almost ran away.

Yinjiu sighed, life like this is really unbearable!

With the careful treatment of the imperial physician, the emperor's illness soon improved and he was able to sit up and review memorials.

The imperial doctors were still very anxious, for they all understood that the emperor was at the end of his strength.

Years of indulgence in sensual pleasures have already drained his body. If he gets angry a few more times, he will probably be unable to recover.

The Zhang Yu case has finally come to an end.

It was found that he colluded with Zhejiang Provincial Governor Li Heng and Censor Zhao Weiming, embezzled autumn grain many times, and made up excuses to levy taxes indiscriminately to enrich himself. In total, he embezzled about 20 million shi of fine grain!

He also colluded with the Ministry of War to embezzle military rations and mixed sand and stones into the rations to pass off inferior goods as good ones.

All in all, this group of parasites embezzled more than 24 million dan of public grain!

The emperor was furious and executed the main culprits along with their entire families. Almost all the middle and senior officials of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and Zhejiang Province were wiped out.

People were killed every day in Caishikou, blood flowed like a river, and people in Beijing were in panic.

In order to appease the people, the emperor issued an edict to confer the title of king on the three princes.

The eldest prince was named King of Qin, the second prince was named King of Qi, and the third prince was named King of Jin, and they were ordered to move out of the palace and build their own palaces.

Nangong Qinghe was both happy and worried. He could finally move out of the palace and build his own residence, and he would have his own staff, which would make many things easier to do. But he was worried that A'li was still in the palace, and it would be inconvenient to meet or send messages in the future.

Thinking of her staying alone in the desolate and dilapidated cold palace, winter is coming soon, how can she survive the winter in that leaky house?

But he couldn't do anything!

Nangong Qinghe felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and was in great torment.
