Chapter 1434: Chapter 1434: Randomly Trading Favors
The Yangxin Hall returned to tranquility. Emperor Chu’s anger had not yet faded. Eunuch Zhou timely offered him a cup of tea, respectfully inviting him to return to his chamber to rest.
Emperor Chu took a sip and said to Song Zhiyuan, "You see, having too many sons is exactly this kind of trouble. They only know how to scheme for their father’s little possessions, while my life and death are of little concern to them."
Song Zhiyuan replied, "It’s natural for sons to have ideas when they grow up. You can’t expect them to never mature. If they grew up with no thoughts at all, even the Imperial Physicians couldn’t cure such foolishness."
Emperor Chu snorted lightly, "I see you’re just adding fuel to the fire."
Song Zhiyuan cupped his hands in apology, saying, "Please calm your anger, Your Majesty, and prioritize your health."
Emperor Chu snorted coldly, suddenly feeling a sense of powerlessness, and said, "Establishing the heir can’t be delayed any longer."
Song Zhiyuan’s eyes flashed, and his fingertips twitched slightly.
"Report, urgent message from eight hundred li away."
Song Zhiyuan’s heart tightened as he turned to look at the armored Guard General who had been granted entrance, seeing the joy on his face as he handed over a dispatch, stating that a solution had been found for the epidemic in the south.
Both Emperor Chu and Song Zhiyuan were overjoyed.
Song Zhiyuan personally took the dispatch, opened it, and said with a smile, "The Emperor’s blessings are vast and his benevolence immense, blessing the world. Thanks to you, Master Buhui has developed an effective prescription with two Imperial Physicians. The epidemic has been brought under control."
Emperor Chu’s eyebrows immediately brightened with joy upon hearing this.
Eunuch Zhou stepped forward to receive the dispatch presented by Song Zhiyuan and delivered it to the Emperor. Accompanying the dispatch was a prescription for the epidemic.
"Quickly inform Court Physician Lu; if the prescription is applicable, immediately prepare the medicine and have everyone in the palace drink a bowl for prevention." Emperor Chu’s eyes relaxed.
Eunuch Zhou replied with a smile.
Song Zhiyuan said, "Your Majesty, I boldly request a prescription for my family as well."
"Once Court Physician Lu approves it, make a copy for your family." Emperor Chu, now in high spirits, generously said, "I remember your family and Buhui jointly run a medicinal business. This prescription..."
Song Zhiyuan quickly replied, "For family development, of course, we need silver. My family doesn’t have many long-term businesses, so doing this is laying the foundation."
"Alright, no need to explain. Which family doesn’t have profitable businesses? During the disaster, what was it called?"
"Cixi Hall."
"That’s right, it also provided free medicine and consultations, which is considerate. I see it all." Emperor Chu said, "Since this prescription was developed by Buhui, it can also be given to your Cixi Hall. Whether you give it out as a charity or sell it to other clinics, it’s up to you."
"I thank Your Majesty for your generosity."
Such a prescription not only cures diseases but also strengthens the body, bringing glory to Cixi Hall whether for reputation or sales.
Court Physician Lu quickly arrived, carefully examining the prescription. Overjoyed, he repeatedly praised the clever use of medicine and was eager to oversee its preparation and trial. Once viable, the Emperor would gradually recover rather than remain slightly feverish and unhealed as he was now.
"Although you are eager to return home, there’s no rush this day or half-day. After you’ve tested the medicine, it won’t be too late to go back. It’s better to be cautious." Emperor Chu’s mood was excellent.
Song Zhiyuan nodded with a smile and added, "During this urgent episode, the Imperial Physicians have tirelessly worked on prescriptions. Court Physician Lu, at his advanced age, has been by your side at all times. Once you recover, he deserves some favor."
Emperor Chu raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking this fellow was trying to curry favor, wasn’t he?
