Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

The next day.

After the morning court session, Fang Yao went to the imperial study with a heavy heart.

He had to personally supervise and verify the medicine he brought to the emperor before he could feel at ease.

He thought about what Mrs. Yuan said yesterday all night.

As for Shen Li, he believed from the beginning to the end that she was his sister's daughter and his niece.

But her martial arts, her intelligence, and her magical medicines all surprised and puzzled him.

That's not something you can learn in a rural village, nor can it be explained by her saying that a weird old master is the master.

How could a great general of cavalry easily trust someone he had only known for a few days?

Yuan Mengxing was right in his reminder. The matter of Marquis Guanyong’s wife was too suspicious and concerned military intelligence, so he had to be careful.

Thinking of that book about the ten major battles, it is so precious.

He was both suspicious about where the book came from and relieved that Li'er gave it to him.

He will continue to observe, and he is willing to observe with affection.

I hope Li'er won't let her down.

When he entered the imperial study, the emperor had already set up the chessboard and was waiting for him.

"Don't be in a hurry to play chess," Fang Yao said mysteriously, pulling out medicine from his pocket and telling the emperor, "This is a miracle medicine I obtained with great difficulty, specially designed to treat your asthma."

The emperor took a closer look.

The bottle is quite strange, I have never seen it before.

"Your Majesty, I ask you to find someone with the same asthma condition to try this medicine. If it works and is non-toxic, after the imperial physician has examined it, Your Majesty may keep it for future use. Otherwise, throw it away and I will find another one."

If the emperor's illness is cured, everyone will be happy; if something goes wrong, the whole family will be executed.

No one dared to take this risk, and Fang Yao was no exception.

The Imperial Hospital happened to have a few patients suffering from asthma to test the effectiveness of the emperor's medicine and acupuncture, so the emperor ordered Eunuch Chang to summon one of them.

People came and used smoke to stimulate the disease.

He soon began to pant and his face turned purple from holding his breath.

Just as Doctor Wang was about to give the injection, Fang Yao hurriedly opened a potion, wrapped the bottle mouth with something, and put it to the patient's mouth, "Suck hard, quickly."

Shen Li wrote down the instructions and asked the secret guard to bring them to him along with the potion.

With each breath the patient took, one cell of the medicine went down his throat, and Fang Yao knew that the medication was successful.

So he took the medicine back and said to Doctor Wang, "Observe carefully."

Doctor Wang quickly pulled the patient's wrist in front of him and took his pulse while observing the patient's facial expression.

In case of poisoning, or if the medicine doesn't work, there is first aid medicine on hand.

Everyone was silent, staring at the patient nervously for his reaction.

After a while, the purple color on the patient's face gradually faded, his complexion gradually became rosy, and his breathing gradually became smoother.

Doctor Wang was surprised and asked, "What kind of medicine is this? Where did the general get it? It's so miraculous."

"I can't tell you about this for now," Fang Yao thought of Shen Li's words and felt that before confirming Shen Li's true identity, it would be better not to let the emperor know about her miraculous abilities. "There are only two bottles of this medicine. One has been tested. This bottle will be kept by the emperor as a backup. The other bottle will be given to the chief physician for safekeeping. This medicine can only be used when the emperor has an emergency. On weekdays, the Imperial Hospital will continue to help the emperor diagnose his pulse and prescribe medicine, and slowly regulate his condition."

"Thank you, General," said Doctor Wang, still immersed in the miraculous experience brought by the inhaler. "If this medicine is indeed effective for the emperor's symptoms, could you please buy a few more bottles?"

"If I could buy it, I would have bought it long ago. Now there's nothing left, right? Just use it first. I'll figure out a way to get it later when I have it."

After saying this, he sat down and started playing chess with the emperor.

Very good, Lier passed his test again.

"How is the investigation going in Mizhou?" asked the emperor.

"I don't have any clues," Fang Yao said. "The boy from the Yuan Mengxing family took the medicine I sent him and should be well today. Let him rest for a few more days. I'll call him to the yamen and ask him about it. He went to Mizhou with the second master of the Yao family. Let's see if we can get any clues from him."

"Oh? The medicine you sent him?" The emperor looked up at him with interest. "Didn't you just strike Yuan Mengxing because he offended your niece? How come, have you reconciled?"

"I'm not a petty person," Fang Yao scratched his head and said with a chuckle, "Only when I went to deliver the medicine that day did I know that Yuan Mengxing had been beaten badly. That face..."

He couldn't help but grin. "Just like the black vegetable stalks in the wild, this old guy is too weak to take a beating."

The emperor said angrily, "What do you mean by 'can't withstand a fight'? You're a devil who emerged from a pile of soldiers. Who can withstand a few punches from you?"

"Hehe, yes, the old Prime Minister also said that I was too harsh and asked me to focus on helping the emperor. I think that makes sense, so I will forgive the Yuan family."

The emperor glared at him, "Are you so kind? Are you asking for too much again and want to kill Yuan Mengxing?"

"No one knows me better than the Emperor," Fang Yao said proudly. "It's not my job, it's the old Prime Minister who's doing it for me. The Yuan family agreed very readily and even sent me many good things. They asked for the miraculous medicine from the Western Regions that I have. Because of their sincerity, I gave it to them. The boy is recovering quickly after taking the medicine and will be able to walk again in two days."

"Very good," the emperor nodded and made a move. "Hurry up and get to the bottom of this. If all else fails, we'll go to Mizhou. The Yao family submits memorials every day, and the Empress often comes to me begging. If the case isn't solved, it's not going to be a good thing."

"Yes, I understand. Your Majesty, don't worry."

After playing a few games of chess, Fang Yao saw that the emperor was a little tired and left the palace.

At the palace gate, Gulu and the general's guards had been waiting for quite a while.

As soon as he saw him come out, Gu Lu walked over and saluted, "General, my cousin asks you to find a time to come to the Shen family to help her calculate her dowry."

"Oh? What happened? Did someone from the Shen family provoke her again?"

"Yes, when I returned home yesterday, the young master of the Shen family spoke rudely to my cousin and aunt, and was beaten by my cousin."

"Well done! Go back and tell my cousin that I'll be there this afternoon. I'll have someone notify Shen Zhaojiang to wait at home. Let's go."

"Yes."

Shen Li got on the horse, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

He enjoys settling scores, this niece is good, he likes her.

So, how could a child who could avenge his mother be a spy?

Fang Yao hummed a tune and whipped his horse.

Shen Zhaojiang sat in the yamen with a heavy heart, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

Unexpectedly, it was Shen Li who saved the wife of Marquis Guan Yong.

The moment he saw the portrait, he was stunned.

The first thing that flashed through my mind was whether Shen Li was a spy or not?

If so, wouldn't the whole family be implicated by her?

Thinking about what happened after she returned home, this evil creature came just to collect debts.

But what if she wasn't a spy? This was the wife of the Marquis of Guanyong, the Empress Dowager's sister. If she wasn't a spy, she was the great benefactor of the Marquis of Guanyong's mansion. Such great good fortune would have knocked anyone unconscious.

Hearing that her method of saving lives was unheard of, many doctors were looking for her and wanted to learn from her.

If more people knew that this was the eldest daughter of the Shen family, what a great reputation it would bring...

Shen Zhaojiang couldn't sit still anymore, so he turned around and left the yamen.

He had to go home and tell his mother and wife about this.

As soon as he walked out of the yamen gate, he was stopped by a man dressed as a guard.

"Greetings, Lord Shen," the guard said, bowing. "I am from the General of the Cavalry's residence. My general has instructed me to inform you that he will bring people to the Shen residence after noon to calculate my aunt's dowry. Please wait at home, general."

Shen Zhaojiang looked at the guard with an ugly expression.

He knew why Fang Yao acted like this. It was because his son had provoked Shen Li and spoken rudely to Fang yesterday.

My son and daughter don't get along with Shen Li. It's really a headache to think about it, as they know that Shen Li has someone backing her but still try to provoke her.

Fang’s dowry?

These things were managed by his mother and his younger siblings. He remembered that there were still some in the warehouse. If Fang Yao wanted to take them back to Shen Li, he could go ahead and get them. The Shen family no longer relied on that little dowry to survive, so he could just let it go.
