Chapter 226: Difficulty
Song Xiaochi saw that he was completely awake, so he silently read the prescription of the Ping Poison Pill to Cheng Shenyi, and asked, "I have never heard of the four medicinal materials of Thousand Knotweed, Frost Safflower, Peony, and Sprout, do you know Senior Brother Dog?"
"Where did you get this prescription?" Cheng Shenyi didn't answer her question directly, but suddenly asked.
This Song Xiaochi really didn't know how to answer, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Occasionally!"
She didn't want to lie, but she really couldn't tell Cheng Shenyi about Liuhyun Zhenjun and Xuanniao.
I thought that Cheng Shenyi would laugh at her for hearing that it was a lie, but I didn't expect Cheng Shenyi to be silent for a while, and muttered: "It should have been taught by the warlock who taught you alchemy, but you forgot it after a long time, so I didn't expect it before, but now because I am too anxious about the poison of His Royal Highness the Prince, I even think about it in my sleep, the so-called thinking day and night, that's it!"
Song Xiaochi was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Shenyi's serious face, and wanted to say, Senior Brother Goudan, in fact, you are very similar to the lotus root, and you can come through anything by yourself.
"That warlock is really extraordinary, this prescription is amazing, many medicinal materials that have never been prepared together, he let them be combined, now I think about it carefully, maybe it can really exert an unimaginable effect, just the dosage...... I don't know if this will work, even if it is my father, he will definitely not be able to get it, and he will need to wait for the medicine to be refined. ”
Cheng Shenyi was amazed again and again, Song Xiaochi naturally knew the magic of this prescription, and she naturally believed that this dosage was the best for the dosage of various medicinal materials, but what she was discussing with Cheng Shenyi now was not whether the prescription was good or not, but what about those medicinal materials? How can I get it together?
Under her urging gaze, Cheng Shenyi said: "Don't worry, although these medicines are from all over the world, there are no rare medicines, as long as you are willing to spend money and energy to find them, you will definitely be able to find them, as for the four medicinal materials you said, you haven't heard of them, because they are used by their aliases."
Cheng Shenyi said the common names of the four medicinal materials, and when Song Xiaochi heard it, he really knew that the heart path of Liuhyun Zhenjun didn't know whether he had inadvertently embarrassed her or deliberately embarrassed her.
The next day, Song Xiaochi and Cheng Shenyi told Cheng Lao about the prescription, and Cheng Lao nodded, "You can try it!" Hope is great. ”
Therefore, from the beginning of the Lunar New Year in the twenty-second year of Ningkang, Cheng Lao, Song Xiaochi, Cheng Shenyi's master and apprentice, as well as the Qujing Jiang family, plus Xie Yan in Shacheng, the six princes, Dai Yan and others, all began to inquire about the medicinal materials that could not be bought in Yunzhou Mansion, and wrote letters to relatives and friends they knew, asking people to help inquire, and Gu Li, the commander of the guards, even wrote to the emperor to ask the emperor for medicinal materials.
It's just that everything is done in secret, and even the letter to the emperor is sent directly to the palace in the form of a secret letter.
If the second prince knew that the prince's poison could be cured, then the prince might not be able to wait for the antidote so peacefully.
Time passed quickly, and on the Shangyuan Festival in the twenty-second year of Ningkang, Song Xiaochi and others did not have the heart to go to the street to watch the lights, because the medicine in the prescription of the Ping Poison Pill was still bad.
And this kind of medicine is not even available in the palace of Daning.
"Senior Brother Godan, you clearly said that the medicine in this prescription is not rare, but why can't this Zihu be bought."
Song Xiaochi had also seen this flavor medicine in medical books before, although she had not seen it with her own eyes, but according to what Cheng Shenyi said before, there was no rare medicine, she thought that although this flavor medicine was not common, it should not be difficult to buy it.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he was trapped in this flavor medicine.
Cheng Shenyi scratched his head, and scratched the very messy hair that was scratched by Xuanniao's claws before, like a chicken nest, he wondered: "Although this Zihu is produced in Xisha, the purple lake where this flavor medicine is grown is very large, and the annual output is also very large, and this flavor medicine is not commonly used, no, it should be said that it is rarely used, so although many medical centers do not store it, but if you want to buy it, those pharmacists who have been to Xisha always have some inventory, and they will bring some back this thing when they go to Xisha, but because it can only be stored for a year, the one-year period has arrived, It's bound to be moldy, so it won't be too much, but it's impossible not to buy one! ”
"Zihu is big?" Song Xiaochi was a little confused.
"No," Cheng Shenyi explained, "the reason why Zihu is called this is because the place where it grows is called Purple Lake, which is a large lake."
Cheng Shenyi said, and wrote the word "Purple Lake" on the table with tea.
"Forget it, I'll inquire again!" Cheng Shenyi thought about it and felt that something was indeed wrong with this, so he went out.
On the twentieth day of the first month of the twenty-second year of Ningkang, two major events occurred for Song Xiaochi and a group of people.
The first is that they know why Zihu, the one in the prescription of the Ping Poison Pill, can't buy it, it is because the Zihu Lake in Xisha had dried up before Zihu matured last year, in fact, Zihu had also dried up before, but it would slowly accumulate water after a few months, so it didn't attract attention at first, but I didn't expect that last summer's drying, Zihu never stored water again, so Zihu ran out of stock.
"Senior Brother Goudan said before that the shelf life of Zihu is only one year, so can't you buy it now?"
Song Xiaochi frowned and said, this is troublesome, do you have to find other medicinal materials to replace it, but with the previous matter of returning this pill in front of him, Song Xiaochi no longer has much hope for replacing medicinal materials.
"Say it quickly, you see that your junior sister is in a hurry!" Song Xiaochi was worried when he heard Cheng Lao urging.
Song Xiaochi looked at Cheng Shenyi, "Senior brother dog, do you have a way, say it quickly!" ”
"Hehe, in fact, I inquired, saying that when the purple lake dried up last year, Zihu had already matured partially, but I heard that the yamen in charge of the Zihu harvest in Xisha had not been harvested at all, so in the end there was no harvest, and it can only be said that the Zihu has not yet matured, and the lake has dried up, in fact, the surrounding farmers will steal some before the Yamen harvest every year, and last year must be no exception, so if you want to buy it, you should be able to buy it, but I am afraid that you will have to go to the places around Xisha Zihu Lake."
"Senior sister, don't worry, I've already thought about it, I'm going to Xisha, it just so happens that my father went there when he was young, but I haven't been there, I've always been curious!"
"I'll go with my brother." How could Song Xiaochi let Cheng Shenyi go alone.
Cheng Shenyi wanted to refute, but looking at Song Xiaochi's expression, he knew that the opposition was invalid, so he didn't say more, just muttered, "You're going to get married in March, and you can't come back in time to get married, don't cry!" ”
"It's a big deal that the wedding date has been postponed, but we really have to be fast, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't wait!"
It was said that the prince would have a month at most, but after taking two antidote pills in a row a few days ago, he took the antidote of scorpion venom, although the toxin was not eradicated, but it was able to delay for a while, but the time would definitely not be too long.
"Ask Ah Yan first, he wants to agree, I have nothing to say." In the end, Cheng Shenyi could only say helplessly.
