Chapter 146: Promise to develop a prescription for the plague
"I have one thing to tell you to do now," the emperor cleared his throat and looked at her with a hot gaze, "Now the plague in the capital has caused everyone to be in danger, if there are no effective measures, I'm afraid this year will not be good, I have ordered the imperial doctor in the palace to study the prescription with all his might, but it has not yet had an effect, so I want you to cooperate with the imperial doctor to study the prescription for the plague, I wonder if the county lord of Chaoyang is willing?" ”
Ning Qinghan's eyes rolled, and she thought silently in her heart, this errand is done well, although it can save the people, but it will also arouse the emperor's suspicion and jealousy, if it is not done well, then she, the county lord, may not be guaranteed, and it may implicate the imperial doctor and the Hou Mansion!! Ning Qinghan frowned and politely refused, "Thank you for your father's love, but Erchen has never understood medical skills, I'm afraid it will disappoint my father." ”
The emperor was not at all surprised that Ning Qinghan would have such an answer, "But I heard that you and the snow-clothed layman have a master-apprentice relationship, if you want to let the snow-clothed layman help you, I will not object."
Ning Qinghan saw the emperor's resolute attitude, so he had to accept this task silently, "My father is still well-informed, and after the son leaves the palace for a while, he will contact the master and study the prescription together."
The emperor touched his dragon beard and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then you can leave the palace now, it's cold outside, I will send you a warm sedan chair, by the way, don't forget to bring the reward back"
"Thank you, father," Ning Qinghan pursed his lips secretly with disdain, "Then the minister will retire first."
"Follow the county lord, see how the snow-clothed layman reacts, and then come to the court" After the emperor saw Ning Qinghan walking away, he shouted into the air
Tam Kee Pharmacy
Two hours later, the sedan chair in the palace finally arrived at Tan Ji Pharmacy, and Mrs. Shen stepped forward to open the sedan curtain, "County Lord, Tan Ji Pharmacy has arrived"
"I have a lot of work for you today" Ning Qinghan stepped off the sedan chair, nodded politely to all the sedan chair drivers, secretly handed Shen Pozi a look, and said, "Xinghua, you take the emperor's reward back to the palace and wait for the palace, and the palace will return to the house in two hours."
"Yes, County Lord"
After Ning Qinghan saw that everything was arranged, he walked into Tan Ji Pharmacy.
Today's pharmacy is extremely deserted, only the shopkeeper is making calculations in front of the medicine cabinet, and the other guys are wearing thick cotton jackets and sitting in a ball next to the charcoal brazier to warm up.
"My family is sitting in the hall and the doctor is out, I don't know if the distinguished guest is here to grab medicine or ......" The shopkeeper saw Ning Qinghan standing in front of the medicine cabinet, staring at the medicinal materials in a daze, and couldn't help but say in a daze
"I'm here to find a snow-clothed layman," Ning Qinghan came back to his senses, smiled at the shopkeeper kindly, took out a jade pendant and shook it in front of the shopkeeper, "Please also ask the shopkeeper to convey it on your behalf"
"My master is inside, distinguished guests, please" After the shopkeeper saw the jade pendant, he respectfully invited Ning Qinghan in
"Mrs. Shen, you wait for me outside," Ning Qinghan ordered solemnly, and then walked in with the shopkeeper
"Childe, there is a distinguished guest looking for you," the shopkeeper knocked on the door of the inner room and said respectfully
"Let her in," the snow-clad man remembered in a cold voice in the room
"Yes," replied the shopkeeper
"Miss, my son-in-law is playing chess with the prince of the palace, you must not disturb" Ning Qinghan was about to walk in when the shopkeeper kindly reminded him
"Thank you" Ning Qinghan took out a handful of silver from the purse he was carrying, put it in the hands of the shopkeeper, and said with a smile
