“The green mold scattered on external injuries has miraculous effects such as high fever, tuberculosis, and pus ears. I present this on behalf of the Princess Consort. I hope this can be used in the army and greatly reduce the casualties of our soldiers in the Great Jin Dynasty. It will be known for hundreds of years.”

“This is a token of my sincerity to the Princess Consort. Please accept it, brother, for the benefit of the world!”

Chu You’s impassioned words caused an uproar.

The green mold powder had long been popular in the capital after the new year. Everyone knew that this was life-saving divine medicine. The Ministry of War had once purchased a batch of green mold powder and tested it in the army. It indeed had a miraculous effect. The Ministry of War and the Imperial Hospital praised it endlessly and were in the limelight for a while, but very few people knew who the owner of the Myriad Herb Hall was. During this period of time, there were many speculations and discussions about the Myriad Herb Hall.

Most people didn’t associate the green mold powder with “Emperor Taizu’s Notebook”. After all, to them, “Emperor Taizu’s Notebook” was only a legendary thing.

There were also very few people like the Emperor, Feng Yang, and Kang Wang who knew a little about “Emperor Taizu’s Notebook”. They had long secretly suspected that the owner of the Myriad Herb Hall had obtained “Emperor Taizu’s Notebook”.

However, they didn’t expect that the owner of the Myriad Herb Hall was actually the new Princess Consort Kang, Li Yunrong.

In the throne room, the civil and military officials were shocked.

The ministers whispered to each other and discussed. Words such as “green mold powder”, “Penicillin”, “Emperor Taizu’s Note”, and “Princess Consort Kang” floated out of the boiling crowd.

Everyone was shocked, pleasantly surprised, speculating, and even excited. Only Chu You, who was standing in the center of the throne room, stood there motionless like a tall spear.

Chu You’s lips curled into an imperceptible smile. His entire body emitted a high and mighty arrogance, valiant, noble, and extraordinary.

A strange glint flashed in Xiao Shoufu’s eyes as he stood at the front of the civil servants’ line. He calmly gave a look to a certain person in the line. Then, a middle-aged official asked in court, “Your Highness, how did Princess Consort Kang get it?”

He seemed to only be asking about the green mold powder, but most people knew that he had an ulterior motive.

The other courtiers fell silent again. Everyone’s gazes locked onto Chu You. It was difficult to hide the anticipation in their eyes, and they were more in deep thought.

Chu You maintained the posture of cupping his fists and turned to the middle-aged official who asked the question. He said calmly, “The princess consort was lucky and accidentally obtained the formula.”

The ministers looked at Chu You, waiting for him to continue, but he pursed his thin lips and stopped talking.

He was clearly holding back from saying this, making people wonder what else he was hiding.

Those officials and nobles who were familiar with each other secretly exchanged looks in the queue and guessed.

The Emperor on the golden throne instructed the eldest eunuch, Zhao Rang, calmly, “Bring it up and let me take a look.”

Zhao Rang bowed and received the order, walking down to Chu You.

The atmosphere in the hall became a little strange. It looked calm, but there were dark waves surging. Everyone’s gaze wandered between the Emperor and Kang Wang.

It had only been a year since he ascended the throne, and the Enke examination was imminent. Now, more than half of the officials and nobles in the court were old ministers of the previous Emperor. The current Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy was still an elder of the three dynasties and was over 70 years old.

Almost all the officials knew that the previous Emperor had been searching for “Emperor Taizu’s Notebook” for the past 20 years after the death of Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu was an outstanding person and often had various strange ideas. When he was alive, not only did he invent the mercury mirror, soap, glass, windmill, and so on, but he also improved firearms and looms. It wasn’t too much to say that his merits would last for thousands of years.

When he was old, Emperor Taizu recorded some thoughts that he couldn’t achieve in time in his notebook. However, after Emperor Taizu died, the letter disappeared. There were rumors that Emperor Taizu personally burned the letter before he died. There were also rumors that the letter was in the hands of the eldest princess, Feng Yang. There were different opinions.

If the “Emperor Taizu’s Note” was really in the hands of Princess Consort Kang, Li Yunrong, then apart from penicillin, were the other things recorded in it also in the hands of Princess Consort Kang, or rather, Kang Wang?

For the officials, it didn’t matter if Princess Consort Kang was really lucky enough to have the “Emperor Taizu’s Notebook”, or if Kang Wang used Princess Consort Kang’s name for some reason.

Most importantly, it was the Emperor Taizu’s Notebook itself.

Some of the excited courtiers revealed thoughtful expressions.

The value of Emperor Taizu’s Notebook was immeasurable. It could allow the great scene to reach a new level, allow the great scene to thrive, and even suppress the State of Yue..
