Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 131

Liu Manman is now in a difficult position, having been put in a bind by Shen Lingjun.

She was flustered and guilty: "I... how could I not know anything? It's just... no one can be omniscient or omnipotent. There are indeed some things I'm not very good at, which is only natural, right?"

At this point, the emperor also noticed that something was wrong with Liu Manman.

The title of "Danxin Divine Physician" was personally bestowed upon Liu Manman by him. If Liu Manman is not worthy of the title, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to him?

The emperor frowned and said in a deep voice, "Then tell me, what are you good at and what are you not good at?"

Liu Manman stammered, "I'm good at making medicine, but not at pulse diagnosis and acupuncture..."

At this point, she had to admit part of the truth, otherwise, if the emperor had asked her to have acupuncture done on the spot, wouldn't she have been finished?

But the more the emperor looked at her like this, the more he felt that she was still not telling the truth.

He pressed on, "Since you say you're skilled in medicine making, then tell me, for example, how was the medicine for intestinal abscesses that you're preparing for me made?"

Liu Manman was already drenched in sweat and her heart was pounding, but she had to grit her teeth and persevere no matter what. In desperation, she took out the only thing she could clearly remember: the method for making penicillin.

"This is my secret recipe: first, I cultivate mold in a clean container, then I extract antibiotics from the mold..."

What she said made perfect sense, but everyone else was completely bewildered.

What kind of pharmaceutical method is this? I've never heard of it before, and it sounds so absurd.

The emperor roared, "What nonsense are you spouting! How could moldy things be used to make medicine!"

Having lived a long and eventful life, Physician Sun was quite knowledgeable and had a greater tolerance for all kinds of medical techniques.

He advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The world is full of wonders. Perhaps this is indeed Lady Liu's unique secret method, unknown to outsiders. If Your Majesty doubts Lady Liu's medical skills, why not have her make the medicine on the spot? Then you will know whether what Lady Liu said is true or false."

Physician Sun was an upright man who held a very rigorous and proper attitude towards medical skills. He always despised those so-called miracle doctors who had no real skills but were famous without merit.

Therefore, he also wanted to see what level of medical skills Liu Manman possessed.

The emperor nodded in agreement.

At this moment, he temporarily forgot about the dull pain in his lower abdomen.

He was determined to find out today whether the "Danxin Divine Physician" he had personally appointed was a fame-seeking charlatan!

Physician Sun then turned to Liu Manman.

"Madam Liu, what raw materials are needed to manufacture the antibiotics you mentioned? What kind of environment is required? How long does it take? The Imperial Hospital can prepare them for you."

Liu Manman's face turned pale, and her back was covered in cold sweat, which had already soaked her clothes.

How did things get to this point?!

What should she do now?

Not to mention that she was unaware of the specific manufacturing process of penicillin, under the conditions of ancient times, it would have been impossible to extract penicillin at all!

Liu Manman was about to make some strange requests, hoping to delay for as long as possible and avoid the immediate crisis before thinking of a solution.

However, the emperor clearly saw through her thoughts and said coldly, "Don't think you can stall for time. You are not allowed to leave the Imperial Hospital until you have produced the medicine! If the medicine you produce is ineffective, it will be tantamount to deceiving the emperor. Think it over carefully. I cannot be fooled by your lies. If you do not tell the truth, your crime will be compounded!"
