Chapter 769: Chapter 687, Assembly Line Pharmaceutical Production_2

Wu Jingyi heard this and also cursed his bad luck. He had already planned how to report on the anti-inflammatory medicine, but now with two princes waiting outside, he could only briefly mention the medicine, his hopes of garnering some credit were dashed completely.

After learning about the medicine, the Emperor took it very seriously and asked in detail before indicating Wu Jingyi to step down.

When Wu Jingyi left the main hall, he happened to run into the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. He hurriedly greeted them and, without waiting for a response, quickly left.

With several princes currently attending the Imperial Court acting up, he certainly didn’t want to court trouble.

Others may not have noticed, but he did—the Emperor’s complexion had been looking better and better this year, with wrinkles from managing state affairs seeming to have smoothed out significantly.

To his knowledge, the Emperor now spent over an hour at the martial arts training grounds every day. His serious attention to his health was obviously a sign of longevity.

For the princes to be acting up now was simply... foolish.

However, before he reached the palace gate, Wu Jingyi unexpectedly ran into the Third and Fifth Princes.

Sigh, seeing the two princes approaching him, Wu Jingyi could only stop and let out a sigh.

Knowing that Wu Jingyi had just returned from the Northern Frontier, many princes wanted to inquire about the situation, especially about Sir Xiao’s condition.

Now in Beijing, there were quite a few rumors claiming that Sir Xiao was actually Xiao Yeyang. At first, the princes didn’t believe it because Xiao Yeyang’s impression on them as a child hadn’t been very favorable.

But now, with more and more people spreading the rumors, even they were starting to doubt.

After exchanging a bit of pleasantries with the two princes, Wu Jingyi simply said, "When peace is restored to the Northern Frontier, Sir Xiao will surely return to Beijing. Then, everyone will naturally know. Ah, I still have matters to attend to and must see to them right away. Your Highnesses, I bid you farewell!"

Watching the departing Wu Jingyi, the Third Prince sneered, "That old fox!"

The Fifth Prince remained silent. In truth, Wu Jingyi’s evasiveness had already answered their question. Thinking of Xiao Yechen, who had been making appearances at various banquets in the city recently, the corner of his mouth curled up.

He was truly looking forward to Sir Xiao’s return to Beijing; it would be quite the spectacle.

On the other side, the Emperor, looking down at the Crown Prince and the Second Prince bowing and responding below, couldn’t help but think of Xiao Yeyang, who was currently handling affairs at the Northern Frontier on behalf of the Imperial Court. No matter how he looked at it, he felt his sons were inferior to his nephew!

"Father, the Tartars and Prince Ba are causing chaos in the Northern Frontier of Daxia. Your son requests permission to go to the Northern Frontier to fight the enemy," the Crown Prince said with a look of deep concern for the country and its people.

Hearing the Crown Prince speak thus, the Second Prince was startled at first, then hastily followed, saying, "Your son also requests permission to go to the Northern Frontier to relieve Father of his worries."

The Emperor looked at them indifferently, seeing through the little schemes in their hearts all too clearly.

The eunuch An, standing beside them, also took a quick glance at the two and thought to himself how fast the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were thinking. They had seen that two out of the three border cities had been recaptured and the conflict in the Northern Frontier was about to be resolved, so they wanted to go there and pick up some easy merits!

The Emperor spoke casually, "It is comforting to know you are concerned, but the battlefield is a dangerous place with swords and spears blind to their targets. I cannot rest easy if you were to go."

The Crown Prince wanted to say more, but the Emperor already waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, I still have stacks of petitions to review here. If there’s nothing else, you may leave."

The Crown Prince was somewhat unwilling, but seeing the Emperor had already buried his head in the documents and considering the Second Prince had just joined in the clamor moments ago, he glared at him angrily before leaving with a heavy heart.

As the two left, a nearly imperceptible sneer echoed in the great hall.

In the hall, eunuch An bowed his head low, maintaining the appearance of hearing nothing.

Dongli arrived in Beijing a few days later than Wu Jingyi.

Looking at the prescription and pharmaceutical equipment Dongli brought, the Emperor immediately summoned the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau and handed him the bottle of finished medicine Dongli had brought for examination.

After examining it, the head physician refrained from making a rash judgment and waited until after experiments were conducted on criminals at the Ministry of Justice. Only then did he excitedly declare it an outstandingly effective medicine.

Once it was confirmed that the medicine was as effective as Wu Jingyi had claimed, the Emperor immediately ordered the head physician to select people to produce the medicine.

Other than the continuous conflicts on the Northern Frontier, Daxia’s situation near Xiliang was also unstable. It was only in recent years, with the weakening power of the nomadic Imperial Family, that there had been no warfare in the Western regions. The coast still experienced troubles from Japanese pirates, not to mention banditry across the land. The number of soldiers who died each year due to injuries was countless. If they could reduce the casualty rate among the soldiers, it would benefit both the country and its people greatly.

Yet, looking at the glass equipment Dongli had brought, the Imperial Physicians looked at each other, unsure, until Dongli, who was unskilled in medicine, stepped forward to teach the physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau how to use it.

After seeing prisoners with high fever recover quickly after taking a pill, the Emperor carefully stored away the bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine Dongli had brought.

Yan Zhigao has raised a good daughter, the Emperor mused, for a girl so young to be able to compound medicine on her own already. Since the Yan Family came into his sight, they had helped him quite a lot.

Eunuch An immediately responded with a smile, "That is due to the excellent teaching and guidance from the lord."

"That is true," the Emperor agreed. "Without Uncle’s cultivation and teaching, how could the Yan Family’s eldest girl have compounded such excellent medicine?"

Glancing at the letter on the desk, where Uncle was asking for credit on behalf of the Yan Family’s eldest girl, the Emperor recalled how his mother had arranged a betrothal for her to Yeyang before she passed away.

"The social standing of the Yan Family is too low!"

However, a low status had its advantages.

...

In mid-July, after a busy month, Daohua, together with Sun Changze, sent 20,000 pills of anti-inflammatory medicine to the Northern Frontier.

Dongli too had returned from the Northern Frontier by this time. But this time, he did not come back alone.

The experiments proved that the physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau really didn’t know how to use glass equipment, and with Dongli being only half competent, after ruining two sets of equipment without producing any medicine, the Emperor decisively waved his hand and personally assigned two individuals to follow Dongli to Taohua Village. They would return to Beijing only after they had learned properly.
