Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.
Chapter 12 Taking the Pulse
"Of course, host, you now have 500 points, which is enough for you to buy useful medicine."
Your uncle lost an arm and was seriously injured. I recommend you buy the Rejuvenation Pill. Just one pill can not only heal serious injuries but also regenerate the severed arm.
As for your maternal grandfather... the Rejuvenation Pill costs 300 points each, and you don't have enough points to buy two Rejuvenation Pills right now.
But it's okay, you can buy a bottle of Little Green Water, also known as Life Essence. As long as your grandfather is still alive, it will ensure that his injuries are fully healed.
Host, a bottle of green liquid only costs 50 points!
Ying Yufu frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Little Dian, is there really such a big price difference between Little Green Water and the Rejuvenation Pill?"
【Host, don't think that just because the little green liquid is cheap it's bad. Although the little green liquid is indeed a common product, you have to understand that's from the perspective of our system.】
In your world, Little Green Water would definitely be a miracle drug; as long as there's a breath left, it can restore life.
The reason why the Rejuvenation Pill is more expensive is because it contains a valuable ingredient that is crucial for limb regeneration.
Ying Yufu listened, completely stunned.
[Oh, I see. Little Madman, then I'll buy one Rejuvenation Pill, and use the remaining points to buy four bottles of Little Green Water, is that alright?]
【Of course you can. But then, host, you won't have a single point left!】
"It's okay, you can earn more points," Ying Yufu said.
[Okay, host. Please wait a moment. After purchase, the product will automatically appear on the system's temporary shelf, and you can take it at any time.]
With a ding, Ying Yufu saw a white jade bottle and four glass bottles appear on the shelf, which she could take with a thought.
She took the items out directly.
In Shangguan Tang and Yu Li's eyes, she seemed to be lost in thought for a while, as if she were communicating with someone in her mind.
Shangguan Tang had already seen this before, so it wasn't surprising, but Yu Li's expression was rather strange.
He hesitated as he looked at Shangguan Tang.
Shangguan Tang shook his head at him.
Although her daughter didn't try to hide this from Ah Li in front of her, it was still up to Ah Li to decide whether to tell or not.
Ying Yufu indeed had no intention of hiding anything from Yu Li.
She pretended to take something from her person and pulled out a white jade bottle and four glass bottles containing green liquid.
Upon seeing these items, Shangguan Tang and Yu Li both stared wide-eyed in surprise.
"Uncle, I recently had some extraordinary encounters. By completing tasks and changing my fate, I can get some rewards."
This white jade bottle contains a Rejuvenation Pill, which can regenerate severed limbs. It's for my eldest uncle.
These four small bottles of green liquid can save four seriously injured people. Uncle, please take them all.
In an instant, Shangguan Tang and Yu Li both widened their eyes.
"Limb regeneration?"
They couldn't help but gasp.
Ying Yufu wasn't afraid of being overheard; with Xiao Dian around, no one could hear her.
Ying Yufu nodded. "As long as Grandpa and my eldest uncle's family are safe and sound and regain control of the border, the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion will still be a top-rank Duke's Mansion."
"Fu'er, really? Are these medicines really that miraculous?" Shangguan Tang asked excitedly.
Ying Yufu nodded. "It's true, Mother."
Shangguan Tang finally showed his first smile in several days.
"That's wonderful!" she cried tears of joy.
"But the prerequisite is that my younger uncle can successfully reach the border and meet my maternal grandfather and my eldest uncle."
Ying Yufu looked at Yu Li, who was also in shock.
Yu Li didn't doubt the authenticity of these bottles of medicine. Whether they were real or fake, they would know once they were tested.
Yu Li looked at Shangguan Tang and said, "Sister, when I was twelve years old, I was able to go alone in the land of Xilin as if it were no one else, and personally cut off the head of the Prince of Xilin. Now, I can also find my adoptive father and elder brother at the border."
"I believe in my uncle's abilities," Ying Yufu said earnestly.
If it weren't for his uncle's willingness to become the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, he would have long been another general in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Not to mention Yu Li, the other Flying Tigers soldiers were all brave and skilled warriors.
It's not that they are incapable of fighting on the battlefield, but rather that for generations they have been loyal only to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and devoted to it alone.
Although the Flying Tiger Army was part of Shangguan Tang's dowry, it was essentially the private army of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Throughout the previous dynasties, I have never heard of any official keeping a private army.
The Duke of Zhenguo and the late emperor were comrades who fought together to establish the empire, and the late emperor granted special permission for the existence of this private army.
After the late emperor passed away, the current emperor did not restrict this private army.
This clearly demonstrates the indulgence that two generations of emperors showed to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
As a result, countless people are extremely envious of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Even Ying Nanyao wanted this private army.
A mocking sneer appeared on Ying Yufu's lips. He didn't even consider whether he could afford it.
"Uncle, my suggestion is that you leave the capital secretly, and in batches. Whether you disguise yourselves as ordinary people or merchants, just don't attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."
Yu Li nodded. "Fu'er, don't worry, I have my own plan."
He looked at Shangguan Tang, "However, without the Flying Tigers by your side, Ying Nanyao might make things difficult for you."
Shangguan Tang said coldly, "Even without you by my side, I still have other things to rely on."
Ying Yufu also said, "My coming-of-age ceremony is the day after tomorrow, and the Princess will definitely come."
In the dream, she refused Princess Huaxi's invitation to attend her coming-of-age ceremony because she obeyed the Second Prince's request, which made Princess Huaxi extremely disappointed in her and her mother.
Afterwards, she devoted herself entirely to the Second Prince.
Meanwhile, her mother was also preoccupied with the affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and did not have time to communicate with Princess Huaxi's mansion.
Princess Huaxi was truly angered.
Later in the dream, after the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was completely ruined, Princess Huaxi even asked the prince consort to mediate for the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion in the court. Otherwise, even if the grandmother donated all her family property, it would not be enough to spare the whole family from death.
Therefore, although Princess Huaxi was disappointed in her, she did not completely disregard her relationship with her mother.
However, they themselves pushed away Princess Huaxi, their powerful backer.
After agreeing on the Flying Tigers' trip to the border, Ying Yufu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the younger uncle can see the maternal grandfather and the elder uncle and give them the medicine, no matter how serious their injuries are, their influence at the border will surely help them turn the danger into safety.
She wished she could go to the border herself, but she knew it was unrealistic. Not only could she not leave the manor for no reason, but even if she could leave, she would only be a burden to the Flying Tiger Army.
After seeing Yu Li off, Ying Yufu said again, "Mother, please invite a doctor from outside the manor. I want to have my pulse checked."
Shangguan Tang was stunned for a moment, then his face turned deathly pale.
"Fu'er, what's wrong?" Shangguan Tang was instantly flustered.
My daughter is perfectly fine and wants to see a doctor. Could it be that something is wrong with her health?
"There's a physician from the prefecture..." She had barely uttered the words "physician from the prefecture" when she realized what was going on.
The physician in this Marquis's residence can no longer be trusted.
Shangguan Tang instructed Granny Zeng to make the trip herself.
About half an hour later, an old man with a goatee and dressed in gray clothes was politely invited in by Granny Zeng.
The old man was a doctor at Jishetang, and his surname was Hu.
Jishetang enjoys a stellar reputation in Beijing, and many high-ranking officials and dignitaries visit it in person.
The fact that Granny Zeng was able to invite Doctor Hu this time was thanks to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion guarded the border and fought bloody battles, earning it a very high reputation among the people.
Upon hearing that the patient was the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, Doctor Hu came personally.
Seeing the well-behaved little girl sitting to the side, Dr. Hu's expression softened.
Ying Yufu obediently stretched out her hand.
The people of Beixuan are open-minded and do not have particularly strict separation between men and women, so Doctor Hu was able to take their pulse directly.
At first, Dr. Hu's expression was simply serious and earnest.
However, as time went by, Dr. Hu's expression subtly changed, and his brows furrowed deeply.
Upon seeing this, Ying Yufu's eyes turned extremely cold.
Although Xiao Dian had already told her that she had been given a drug that would prevent her from having children, which had damaged her body, she still felt a surge of anger at this moment.
In this Marquis's mansion, what exactly is Mother? And what are the three siblings?
"Please use your other hand, miss," Doctor Hu said, his voice trembling slightly.
Ying Yufu glanced at him and saw a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
She then said, "Dr. Hu, whatever the illness, I can accept it. You don't need to be nervous."
"Oh, oh!" Doctor Hu nodded repeatedly, but his face was completely bloodless.
Shangguan Tang also had a pale face.
She could tell at once that something was definitely wrong with her daughter's health.
It's still a big problem.
Her hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly, but she held back from speaking.
After carefully taking the pulse with his other hand, Dr. Hu knelt down without saying a word.
"Dr. Hu, please get up. What's wrong? Just tell me." Ying Yufu personally got up and helped him up.
Dr. Hu's face was deathly pale. He often treated high-ranking officials and dignitaries and had seen far too many shady dealings.
But this one, which I've never seen before, is something like this.
"Isn't the young lady of marriageable age yet?" Doctor Hu asked.
"I'll be turning fifteen the day after tomorrow," Ying Yufu said.
"So young..." Doctor Hu closed his eyes. The thought that this was the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's family made him feel even more regretful, and even a little angry.
"Miss, have you... have you ever taken any infertility medication?"
"What?" Shangguan Tang exclaimed in surprise, staring intently at Doctor Hu with disbelief.
"Miss has ingested potent medicine, damaging her vital essence. She will be unable to have children in this life," Doctor Hu said slowly.
Shangguan Tang stared blankly at him, feeling a surge of blood rising in her throat.
She could hardly believe what she was hearing.
Dr. Hu noticed that Ying Yufu herself was surprisingly calm, as if she had expected this.
After hesitating for a moment, he added, "Offspring are secondary. The medicine that Miss took was too potent and dangerous. In addition, Miss was probably even younger when she took the medicine, so... it's detrimental to her lifespan."
Shangguan Tang swayed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Miss!" Granny Zeng and Granny Huang rushed forward to help Shangguan Tang.
The two old nannies were also pale. They helped Shangguan Tang sit down to the side and stared at Doctor Hu.
"Dr. Hu, is there any hope for our young lady?" The two looked at Dr. Hu expectantly.
Dr. Hu sighed and shook his head, "Unless it's a deity descended to earth..."
"Dr. Hu, how long will my daughter live...?"
Shangguan Tang composed himself and asked in a hoarse voice.
Doctor Hu glanced at Ying Yufu and said, "I'm afraid she won't be over thirty..."
"Wow, this old doctor is quite skilled!" Xiao Dian exclaimed in surprise.
"Dr. Hu is quite famous in the capital. It is said that his ancestors were imperial physicians in the previous dynasty," Ying Yufu said.
"Host, since you know there's something wrong with your body, why did you still ask the imperial physician to examine your pulse?" Xiao Dian asked, puzzled.
Ying Yufu said, "I told my mother so many stories about the terrible things in my dreams, but recounting them and seeing them with my own eyes have completely different effects."
"I want my mother to see for herself the viciousness of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion. Ten examples are not as good as experiencing just one," Ying Yufu said calmly.
Xiao Dian: ...
It even felt a little sorry for Shangguan Tang.
What a troublesome host I have!
Didn't you see that Shangguan Tang is about to break?
Shangguan's lips trembled. "Dr. Hu, thank you for your help today. I hope you will..."
"Madam, rest assured, I will absolutely keep this a secret, I will never tell even if it kills me," Doctor Hu kowtowed and promised.
Shangguan Tang looked at Granny Huang and said, "Granny, give Doctor Hu five hundred taels for his consultation fee."
Dr. Hu trembled and remained silent.
Five hundred taels of silver was not only for the consultation fee, but also for hush money.
He was all too familiar with the tactics employed by the powerful and wealthy.
After seeing Doctor Hu off, Shangguan Tang turned to look at Ying Yufu, tears streaming down her face.
Although she knew what was happening in the dream, seeing her daughter being poisoned to such an extent by her own relatives in the Marquis's mansion still filled her with extreme hatred. These were not family members; they were clearly vicious beasts.
"Fu'er, do you remember when it was?" Shangguan Tang asked.
Ying Yufu didn't hide anything and shared her guess.
"It should have been the first time I came to Guishui that my grandmother gave me a bowl of sweet soup."
"Good, good, what a fine old lady, what a noble lady from a noble family from the previous dynasty!" Shangguan Tang cried and laughed maniacally.
"Mother," Ying Yufu stepped forward and hugged Shangguan Tang, "Mother, don't be sad. Since they don't act like human beings, then we don't need to treat them like human beings either. They are worse than animals."
"But my Fu'er, they ruined her!" Shangguan Tang hissed.
"Mother, you've forgotten, I had a miraculous encounter," Ying Yufu gently comforted her. "Mother, I even managed to produce medicine that can regenerate a severed arm."
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Shangguan Tang's desperate and gloomy eyes, like a drowning person grabbing onto a lifeline.
"Yes, yes, Fu'er, you're a very lucky person, you must have a way, right?"
"Yes, I have medicine that can restore my body to health, making me healthier than before."
Not only that, I can also cure Tan'er's congenital weakness.
And I was able to cure my brother's mental illness as well.
Shangguan Tang's expression gradually changed from sorrow to joy.
"Mother, I can even cure the chronic poison they put in your body. In the dream, you didn't die of illness, you were clearly killed by them."
Shangguan Tang smiled through her tears.
"Fu'er, thank goodness, thank goodness you had that miraculous encounter!"
……
The Imperial Palace.
Emperor Cangxuan looked at his ministers running below with disbelief.
"Ying Qing, what did you just say? Who are you requesting an imperial decree for?"
Ying Nanyao knelt upright, clasped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to request that my eldest sister-in-law be granted an imperial title in recognition of her merits in suppressing this rebellion."
"Eldest sister-in-law? Not Madam?"
Emperor Cangxuan blinked and asked in a strange tone.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, my wife... is unworthy." Ying Nanyao bowed down with a loyal expression.
Looking up again, he spoke with righteous indignation: "Your Majesty, the Shangguan family comes from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is arrogant and conceited, and now it has committed a heinous crime that is unforgivable."
"How could Lady Shangguan be worthy of an imperial title?"
Emperor Cangxuan: …………
He looked at his loyal and upright ministers with a deep and unfathomable expression.
Ying Nanyao, however, was secretly pleased. Rumors were circulating that His Majesty had long been unable to tolerate the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Since ancient times, those who had made great contributions and threatened the ruler were bound to be purged sooner or later.
His Majesty may seem to be very lenient with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, but in reality, he must have long wished to get rid of it as soon as possible.
In short, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has no chance of turning things around this time.
Ying Nanyao was secretly pleased, thinking that His Majesty would be pleased with his denigration of the Shangguan family.
Sure enough, His Majesty smiled.
"Hehe, good, good, what a fine Ying Qing, Ying Nanyao..."
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your praise..."
Before Ying Nanyao could finish his sentence, a furious roar suddenly came from the head of the table: "Get out! Get out of my sight!"
Along with it came a folding book that was thrown at him.
Ying Nanyao was stunned for a moment, and his forehead was throbbing with pain from the folding cloth hitting him.
The person at the head of the table said, "If Lady Shangguan is not worthy of being granted an imperial title, then Lady Liu is? Ying Nanyao, have you forgotten what Lady Liu's background is?"
Ying Nanyao's face turned deathly pale.
Lady Liu, a noblewoman from the previous dynasty, considered herself superior. Before the late emperor had pacified the country, Lady Liu once said that she would not associate with peasants.
Unfortunately, the late emperor was of peasant origin.
Not only the late emperor, but half of the group of people who followed him were peasants, including the Duke of Zhenguo.
