I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 315

The stench didn't dissipate until half an hour later.

Yan Hui led his men to burn incense everywhere, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did he send someone to invite the emperor.

Xiao Jingfan was reading a book in Xie Jieyu's Yihe Palace at this moment.

He was still shaken by the "extreme stench" he had just witnessed, and instructed Chu Liuzheng to go and check on it first.

Chu Liuzheng felt that this must be the big boss's punishment for her not sharing the hardships back then.

Fortunately, it really doesn't smell anymore; the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, which smells quite nice.

A moment later, the emperor moved to the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace.

Consort Shu had already brought the princess out, and she was covered in fragrant incense, looking like a walking human incense burner.

Chu Liuzheng held back his sneeze for a long time before finally managing to suppress it.

She glanced at Consort Shu and the little princess; in just a few days, they had both lost a lot of weight.

Feng Jing and Qin Shu took turns taking the pulses of the two men.

After a moment, Feng Jing said, "The poison of the Cold Marrow Powder in Consort Shu and Her Highness the Princess's bodies has been neutralized. They only need to take good care of themselves in the future to make up for their deficiencies."

He glanced at Qin Shu beside him and asked, "What does Doctor Qin think?"

Qin Shu hummed in agreement through her nose, it was unclear whether she was in agreement or simply didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Feng Jing was already very happy to receive an "hmm," and invited Qin Shu aside to discuss with Physician Wu and others how to treat Consort Shu and the little princess.

Only after confirming that the poison had been neutralized did Consort Shu finally feel relieved.

These days she can't eat or sleep well, sometimes worrying that Feng Jing won't be able to make an antidote, sometimes feeling sorry for the little princess who has to endure the pain of acupuncture every day.

She eagerly awaited Feng Jing's discovery of the antidote.

Now things are finally alright.

But she was clearly celebrating too soon.

After discussing with the imperial physician, Feng Jing came to her to fulfill his promise.

Consort Shu hadn't forgotten about this matter either. She had been thinking about what requests Feng Jing might make these days, but she didn't know Feng Jing well, so she had no clue.

Now that he brought it up, she smiled and said, "You saved me and the princess, so I should naturally repay you. What would you like me to do?"

Feng Jing didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I want the Heavenly Lotus Fruit that the Duke of Ying's mansion treasures."

Consort Shu was secretly alarmed. How did Feng Jing know that there was Heavenly Lotus Fruit in the Duke of Ying's mansion?
Xiao Jingfan put down his teacup and asked curiously, "What is this Heavenly Lotus Fruit?"

Before Consort Shu could reply, Feng Jing interrupted, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Lotus Fruit is an extremely rare medicinal herb. Ancient books record that the Heavenly Lotus Fruit grows under icy cliffs in remote places, blooms once every fifty years and bears fruit once every fifty years, and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and rejuvenating the young."

Everyone gasped in shock.

It can actually bring the dead back to life and reverse aging. Is this Heavenly Lotus Fruit some kind of peach grown by the Queen Mother of the West?
"Is it really that effective?" Qin Shu rarely took the initiative to speak with Feng Jing.

Feng Jing nodded affirmatively: "My grandmaster once saw an old woman take the Heavenly Lotus Fruit and, after taking a nap, she was rejuvenated and became a young girl of sixteen."

Seeing it with my own eyes, it must be true.

Everyone looked at Consort Shu. The Duke of Ying's mansion was truly a hidden gem, possessing such a rare item that even the imperial palace did not have.

Even Xiao Jingfan looked surprised and asked Consort Shu, "Does the Duke of Ying's mansion really possess such a thing?"

"I have not heard anything about this from my family." Consort Shu shook her head and looked at Feng Jing. "I wonder where Doctor Feng heard this news from?"

“On the black market, a scholar told me,” Feng Jing didn’t hide anything, “that the Heavenly Lotus Fruit was sold to the Duke of Ying’s mansion through him.” Xiao Jingfan asked, “Why didn’t that scholar keep such a heaven-defying item for himself?”

His question echoed the sentiments of everyone present.

That's a miraculous medicine that can bring the dead back to life and reverse aging! How could they be willing to sell it!

How desperate for money must they be?
Feng Jing shrugged: "I asked him the same question, and he said he was happy."

Everyone: "..."

Xiao Jingfan had a gut feeling that this scholar was no ordinary person, so he asked, "What is the scholar's name?"

Feng Jing looked at him: "Your Majesty, are you unaware of the rules of the black market?"

Xiao Jingfan really didn't know, and he had never been to the black market.

Apart from Chu Liuzheng, who had a system, and the hidden bodyguards, most of the people present probably had never heard of the term "black market."

Feng Jing felt quite pressured to explain the black market to an emperor, but he had no choice but to speak up because Xiao Jingfan was watching him closely.

He tried to be vague: "Most black market businesses cannot be conducted in the open. Both sellers and buyers will try their best to hide their true identities and not let a second person know, so as to avoid being murdered, robbed, or murdered for money."

Xiao Jingfan raised an eyebrow: "Since you're trying to hide your identity, how did you know the other person was a scholar?"

"Because he was wearing a scholar's robe." Feng Jing pictured the other person in a white scholar's robe, standing out like a shining bead among the crowd of people in black robes and masks.

It was as if it was saying to everyone, "Look over here, I'm here."

He had gone to the black market to get medicinal herbs. Seeing the man's indescribable attire, he assumed he was a clueless naive young man who had been tricked into going there by someone with ill intentions. He went over to give him a heads-up, but he didn't expect the man to be doing it on purpose.

He even had a set of reasons, saying that the more eye-catching the clothes, the easier it would be to sell goods. He even enthusiastically introduced what he was selling to Feng Jing, showing that he was a seasoned black market operator.

Feng Jingshen felt he had been tricked and wanted to leave, but the scholar stopped him.

The scholar said he smelled medicinal fragrance on him, and out of consideration for his previous kindness, he told him a top-secret piece of information related to medicinal herbs.

It was from that time that Feng Jing learned that there was a Heavenly Lotus Fruit in the Duke of Ying's mansion.

What does a legendary doctor want most?
Of course, it's all kinds of rare and exotic medicinal herbs!
He immediately considered buying it from the British Duke's Mansion, but unfortunately, he couldn't even get through the gates.

However, the British Duke's mansion was heavily guarded, making it difficult to steal... bah! He had to find another way to exchange it for silver.

This led them to set their sights on Consort Shu.

He tested the poison on himself to make the antidote, saving the Duke's beloved daughter and precious granddaughter. It's not unreasonable for him to ask for a Heavenly Lotus Fruit, is it?

Feng Jingdao said, "The scholar said his surname was Wang, and his accent sounded like he was from the south."

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Jingfan frowned and glanced at Chu Liuzheng beside him.

It's so abnormal!

After hearing about such a big thing as the Heavenly Lotus Fruit, why doesn't this woman have any thoughts at all?

Chu Liuzheng is currently busy browsing the system, indicating that he is not to be disturbed!
Feng Jing looked at Consort Shu and asked with a smile, "When will Your Highness send a message to the Duke of Yingguo to send over the Heavenly Lotus Fruit?"

Xiao Jingfan also looked at her.

Concubine Shu: "..."

Is it too late to regret it now?
"I had no idea that the Duke's mansion possessed such a treasure; perhaps it was a misconception." Consort Shu forced a smile. "I will first send someone to the Duke's mansion to inquire, and if it truly exists, I will have it fetched."

Feng Jing wouldn't fall for such an obvious excuse.

He tucked his hands into his sleeves and said, "The Duke of England's residence is not far from the palace. It will take at least an hour to get there and back, plus talking and getting the items. I will wait here."
