Chapter 203: The Furious Elder She

He had searched through all the orchids in the imperial palace last night and only found this one with seeds on it. However, there were only three seeds. This meant that they had to test out the real prescription within three chances.

Old Ma was studying the prescription at the side. Su Yan felt that she had nothing else to do and wanted to leave. However, she was stopped by Old Ma the moment she moved.

Su Yan said doubtfully, “I don’t know much about medicine. I can’t help you with anything.”

Old Ma smiled with a wretched expression.

Su Yan could not help but take a step back. This old man really did not look like a good person.

Old Ma put away the smile on his face and rubbed his hands. “I’ll have to trouble Princess Consort to bring out these medicinal herbs from the Imperial Hospital later.”

As he spoke, he handed over a list of medicinal herbs.

Su Yan was even more puzzled and said, “Don’t you even have this little bit of authority?”

Then, why did he come to the Imperial Hospital? He didn’t even have any medicinal herbs.

Old Ma’s face turned red and said, “I just had a fight with the imperial physician who was in charge of the medicinal herbs yesterday, but it’s not my fault.”

He straightened his back and said with an angry expression, “That imperial physician is too hypocritical. He’s so sanctimonious and stingy.”

Su Yan ignored his complaints. She took the medicine list and went to the pharmacy.

Just as she reached the door of the pharmacy, she heard a roaring voice from inside, “Don’t let me see that old man from yesterday again. I’m so angry. He actually stole my medicinal herbs.”

A young man’s voice sounded, “Master, don’t be angry.”

“How can I not be angry? That old man is simply an old hooligan, an old b*stard, an old, old… In any case, he is not a good person.”

Unable to think of any other words that could be used to scold someone, Elder She said in a huff.

The boy beside him looked at him helplessly.

Su Yan had a feeling that he was referring to Old Ma. She stood awkwardly at the door, not knowing if she should go in. No wonder he did not come himself. She was a little curious about what Old Ma had done to make people so angry.

When the little boy saw Su Yan, he quickly gave his master a meaningful glance. Su Yan watched helplessly as the old man, who had been furious just a moment ago, suddenly turned into a celestial being. He gently stroked his long beard and asked gently, “May I know why you are here, Miss?”

The corner of Su Yan’s mouth twitched. She smiled brightly and said, “I’m here to pick up some medicinal herbs.”

Chu Tao tactfully handed the prescription to the little boy.

The little boy passed it to Elder She. He looked at the list in his hand and let out a soft exclamation.

Su Yan was a little nervous. Could it be that he could tell that this list belonged to Old Ma?

Elder She frowned and said, “I’ve been practicing medicine for more than half of my life, but I can’t tell what kind of illness this medicine is for. I wonder if you can tell me, Miss?”

Su Yan heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said, “This medicine is not a prescription. It’s a combination of several prescriptions, so it’s normal that you haven’t seen it before.”

With the precedent of the left court judge in the morning, she did not dare to say that this was an antidote for the plague.

Elder She’s expression was still somewhat hesitant. Chu Tao took out the identity token of Guang Pingwang and said, “This is Princess Consort Guang Pingwang. We are in urgent need of this medicine. Can you hurry up?”

The two people on the opposite were shocked and quickly bowed.

Elder She stood up and said, “I didn’t know that Princess Consort Guang Pingwang had graced us with her presence. I have offended you. Please forgive me.”

Naturally, Su Yan waved her hand and did not mind.

He did not dwell on the problem of the prescription anymore and quickly instructed the little boy to wrap up the medicine.

When Su Yan and the others took the medicine out of the pharmacy, Elder She said, “Little Boy, give me the prescription that you have just prepared.”

The little boy quickly found the list and handed it over.

Elder She picked up the prescription and studied it with a solemn face. It was obvious that this list was indeed a prescription. Although he did not know what the prescription was for, the herbs in it were very exquisite. The herbs that were mutually reinforcing and counteracting each other were neutralized very well. The person who wrote this prescription was incredible.
