"Have you finished reading today's official documents?" Yi Yu held the medicine pestle, grinding the herbs in the bowl, and looked at Li Tai who found the pharmacy on the top floor in front of a cup of tea.

She came back from Longquan Town after lunch, just after noon, she heard Ah Sheng say that Li Tai was in the study to handle official business, so she went upstairs to soak in the pharmacy, but within half an hour, he came over.

"Hmm."

There were seven or eight sheets of spread oil paper on the long table, and there were all kinds of simply processed medicinal materials in them, some were the same, some were different, Li Tai dialed the one in front of him, and asked:

"What is this for?"

"Let's look for medicinal materials, don't we want to go to the southwest mountains and forests, spring and summer poisonous insects, because the smell is different from the locals, the most love to bite people from other places, this prescription is used for insect repellent, after grinding and refining honey, made into dripping pills, carry with you, you can prevent insects, as long as you bring enough weight, it is a more powerful scorpion and spider will not be close." Yi Yu's hand movements did not stop, and he explained to him carefully.

Li Tai told her the day before yesterday that he wanted to take the opportunity of the "Kun Yuanlu" tour to travel far away to some secret places to help Shen Jiantang and them find rare medicinal materials.

This is a bit far away, in the current Tang Dynasty, in terms of medical skills, although there are a few doctors with the name of divine doctors, but they are more hidden, such as Sun Simiao, the medicine king who treats the son of heaven with alchemy, or has a quirk, like Yao Buzhi.

Therefore, it is impossible to hang the divine doctor on the waistband of his trousers, and the need for medicinal materials has become scarce, whether it is in the court or in the rivers and lakes. Like marching to war, it is common to need hemostatic medicine. In these years of heavy force, to be honest, in secret, the two sides fight, and a martial arts master is worth ten times and a hundred times more than a literati who can only show off coquettishness.

But the reason why the precious drugs are precious is because they are somewhat mixed with rare herbs, as far as the medical skills of the relics from Li Tai are known, such as the first-class gold sore medicine, the need for high-grade sand, musk, plum blossom tablets, pure frankincense, safflower, myrrh, blood exhaustion, powdered catechu, etc., more than a dozen high-quality medicinal materials are not enough, this is just to make a general hemostatic gold creation, want to build muscles and live bones, you need to add a herb called Chuanlu, only at noon on May 5, Chaoyang grinds into a fine powder, seals it with yellow wax, and stores it for 15 days before it takes effect.

The importance of medicinal materials cannot be ignored, but rare medicinal herbs, such as Chuanlu, and even rare medicinal herbs, such as the invisible grass and the dream lotus used to make nightmare antidotes, can be seen everywhere, some of them only leave traces on some books, and some are only mentioned in a few words, which are absolutely impossible for people to find.

Just looking at Li Tai as a prince, but he is willing to join Shen Jiantang to find medicine, maybe there is an element of affection in it, and it cannot be denied that this also reflects the importance of medicinal herbs.

So, after thinking about it, Yi Yu agreed to go with Li Tai, first, to inquire about the whereabouts of the Lu family on the way, and secondly, she happened to lack a lot of rare medicinal herbs, especially the main medicine for making Zhimengsan-Fallen Leaves as Frost.

This is a tree that grows in the valley, the name is strange, neither like a medicinal herb, nor like a poison, she carefully pondered the splendid poison scroll that she memorized, which said that this fallen leaf is frost, as an evergreen wood, it grows leaves all year round, but it also keeps falling leaves, its leaves are green when they grow on the tree, but it falls naturally, and it will become snow white without half a cup of tea, so that it is appropriate to have the name of this fallen leaf as frost.

Since she got a belated letter from Lu Zhi on the Shangyuan Festival, revealing a lot of secrets, she was not as eager to make Zhimengsan as she was at the beginning, but she never gave up, and she wanted to knock something out of Fuyao's mouth, even if it was a little bit of it, it would be very useful to her.

Besides, knowing that this kind of thing is a treasure that is hard to find, if she is lucky enough to find fallen leaves as frost and make a few more copies, it will be of great use at a critical time.

"Insect repellent, but have you tried the efficacy?" Li Tai asked.

This time, they were going to a few inaccessible places, not that there were no people, but that most of the local people were uncivilized mountain people. In previous years, they went to various places to look for medicine, not only to deal with these mountain people, but also to deal with the wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

"Well, this prescription was left to me by Yao Buzhi, and there is a bottle of medicine he gave me," Yi Yu saw that he was interested, so he stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, walked to the huge medicine cabinet, and groped for a drawer in the dark compartment, which contained the things that Yao Buzhi gave her, as well as the more successful medicines she had made during this time.

"Well, that's it." Finding the insect repellent pill, she put the vial in front of Li Tai, scratched her earlobe, and said: "I can't do him so well, dozens of them are put into the sachet and carry it with you, if you have his ability, you don't have to be so troublesome." It's a pity that he didn't leave me much, and if there are many people who go there, it will be gone in a day or two. ”

Li Tai took the pills and a packet of the herbs she had prepared, walked to the windowsill, and after a while, came back and sat down, and stared at her.

"What's wrong?" Yi Yu rubbed his face with his sleeve and asked curiously.

He put away the somewhat strange look and said, "This insect repellent should be prepared, as well as the soul suppressing pill and the heat-clearing medicine you gave me last time, and ask the two maids to help make it." ”

Yi Yu smiled, nodded and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, how many people are going this time, I'll watch the medicine." ”

She was naturally happy to know that she could help, and she had planned to make as many familiar prescriptions as possible, whether it was bizarre, antidote, or poison.

Li Tai didn't say it, it didn't mean that she didn't know, this trip was not so safe, and she didn't have any martial arts on her, and if she didn't rely on some drugs to defend herself, it would inevitably drag them back.

"In addition to you and me, there are six others."

"Only six?" Originally, she thought that it would be a mighty group of people.

"Too many people should not be." Li Tai put the medicine bottle containing the insect repellent pill on the long table, looked at the Yu Yu who nodded knowingly on the other side, changed his words, and suddenly said:

"Something else."

"You say." She knew that when he came to her this afternoon, he must have something more important to tell her.

He tapped his index finger with the gemstone ring on the table a few times, looked her eyes straight into her eyes, and asked in a slow voice:

"It's been two months, and you're ready?"

Yi Yu's heart jumped, and he didn't know what he was referring to, subconsciously avoided his gaze, looked down at the medicine pestle in his hand, and was silent for a while, before he said:

"Are you talking about marriage?"

Li Tai took out a blue-headed and red-edged fold from his arms and handed it to her, she took it with both hands, and didn't dare to open it for a while, these days of living in the Wei Palace, she is not ignorant of some court affairs, sometimes Ah Sheng will deliberately find something to show her, she recognizes this kind of appearance of the fold, most of them are used by happy events and the masters, she has seen more of whose family has added a new ding, who has married a bride, this in her hand, is undoubtedly to ask the emperor for marriage.

"In a few days, we will leave Beijing, I want to make the schedule of the emperor, ask for the edict before leaving, and wait for the twelfth ** birthday to pass, and issue it."

"I see." After listening to him, Yi Yu calmed down, folded his hand and opened it, just a few lines, and read it, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings:

"The granddaughter of the widow of the Duke of Huaiguo, the widow of the Lu family, the good looks, the proper manners, the virtue and modesty, the temperament, the sons and ministers want to be the side room, please ask the father to propose the marriage, and the marriage is expected to be discussed."

A decent invitation, it can be said that it is completely expected by the jade, although she said with Li Tai in advance, saying that she would treat each other wholeheartedly, but she would not be naïve to think that with her current situation, there would be a possibility of being a little bit of a main room.

It can be said that he has no father and mother, and he is helpless, he offended the eldest grandson's family, was rejected by the family, and was alone, but he wanted to occupy one of the two side concubines of the prince, and he was still known to be the emperor's favorite prince.

She can imagine that once the emperor approves Li Tai's invitation and issues the edict, it will inevitably cause a wave, even Li Tai's descendants and subordinates will not agree to this matter, if they don't go away, this is tantamount to pushing her on the cusp.

Li Tai has been paying attention to her expression, seeing that after she finished reading the text, her face did not show surprise, there was no joy or anger, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, he didn't want to explain too much, but after thinking about it, he still lowered his voice and said:

"This time—"

"I know," said Yi Yu, who looked up to interrupt him as he was about to speak, shook his head and smiled, looked at him, and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness, in this way, I can leave Beijing openly and honestly in the name of parade and participate in the "Kun Yuanlu", which is a good thing. It is also appropriate for you to pick this time, with my current situation, but it is not too ostentatious, there are many things in this capital, and I can't deal with it, besides, I am not old enough, and I am alone, if the edict is issued, you and I can just leave Beijing, and you can also hide from a storm. ”

Such a heartfelt answer, if anyone listens to it, it will only be used as her sensible and heart-to-heart, but the wrinkles between Li Tai's eyebrows are deeper, and he stared at her for a while with half-squinted eyes, just when Yi Yu thought that he still had something to say, he relaxed his brows, stood up, took away the text fold in her hand, and took the thin text fold and patted her forehead, and then walked out of the door with his hand.

Yi Yu touched his forehead in confusion and muttered in a low voice: "Why are you still angry, I didn't say the wrong thing?" ”

This one she didn't know why she pounded up the medicine again, and Li Tai left the Combing Pavilion, and on the way to the study, she met Du Chuke, who had just been angry in the morning.

"Your Highness, the previous matter, Katsumi went back and thought about it carefully, there are a few words I want to say to you, please listen to it before making a decision."

Li Tai bowed his head and led him to the study without saying a word. ()
