Your Majesty is short of money again

Chapter 397 Excuses
After hearing this, everyone came to their senses. No wonder they felt that the formula in their hands was so familiar. It turned out that it was not a novel formula, but that some of the above medicinal materials had been replaced with a wrong one.

They can't make elixir, not because they are not good at alchemy, but because they are not familiar with the formula and the properties of elixir.

While reacting, someone raised a question: "Since the formula is wrong, why is Ms. Li able to refine it successfully?"

If it was said that Qi Huining had successfully refined it, they didn't think there was any problem, after all, they saw the mistake in the formula immediately and found the correct medicinal material.

However, just now Li Taiji asked twice, and Li Yu admitted that the medicinal materials she used were the same as those written in the formula. So, how could such a perfect pill be refined?
When Li Yu heard this, she panicked and her palms were sweating. She would never have thought that in the second round of the competition, the test of alchemy was only secondary. The strict competition system would have such a situation, which caught her by surprise.

Huang Yuechen took the elixir submitted by Li Yu from Imperial Physician Li, and played with it in her hands. After a cursory glance, she looked up at Li Yu and said, "Miss Li, why don't you explain it yourself?"

"I don't know why it happened." Li Yu shook his head lightly and said something innocently.

"This is the elixir you refined yourself, how could you not know what it is?" Huang Yuechen said with a light smile.

"Isn't this prepared in advance?" someone questioned.

As soon as this guess came out, someone immediately agreed: "What you said is very possible, otherwise, how can you successfully refine the elixir according to a wrong formula?"

"Impossible, this topic was well-hidden before, and she didn't know the specific content of the competition until the competition, so how could she prepare the pill in advance?"

The voice of this discussion is not small, it is more of a discussion among the contestants. Their location is not far from Li Yu. Li Yu, who heard these words in his ears, looked aggrieved and waved his hands again and again: "I didn't cheat. , I really didn’t cheat.”

Seeing Li Yu's pitiful appearance, someone's heart suddenly softened, "I think such a weak girl looks very well-bred, so she shouldn't cheat, right?"

"However, how do you explain that you were able to refine the elixir even though the formula was wrong?" It was related to their own interests, and some people didn't care about showing pity for a weak woman.

Li Yu frowned tightly and hesitated for a long time. Under the eyes of everyone, he took small steps and quickly came to the medicinal material area. After searching for a long time, he took out dozens of herbs from many medicinal materials, and took all Bringing it in front of Imperial Physician Li, he said timidly: "Emperor Li, these are the medicinal materials I just used to refine the elixir, do you think there is anything wrong?"

Huang Yuechen smiled clearly, she understood what Li Yu was thinking.

Rather than being accused of cheating, it is better to use the wrong medicine as an excuse.

The former is a problem of character, while the latter is a mistake in knowledge. Li Yu knows which of the two has the greater influence.

From Li Yu's point of view, as a lady of great family, you don't need to have superb medical skills. You can lose in this competition, but you must not leave everyone with the idea that she is a person who will do whatever it takes to win or lose.

Once the reputation is damaged, it is extremely difficult to repair it.
