Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Chapter 46 Red Ginseng

In the end, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't restrain her inner anxiety and decided to visit Imperial Physician Guo again to find a way to rescue the princess.

He summoned his attendant Ou Zhiyong. This young man had also been troubled by personal matters recently. He was eager for Lin Xiaofeng to help him solve his problems day and night. At this moment, he heard the summons and immediately responded energetically: "My lord, it is said that Dr. Guo has been at Qingyi every night recently. The palace will personally diagnose and treat the princess, should I invite him here, or should I accompany you to Qingyi Palace?"

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes glanced at Li Dexian, who was looking at the chessboard opposite. His expressionless face revealed the fact that he could not go with him at the moment.

Therefore, Lin Xiaofeng strengthened his determination and embarked on this journey to explore the disease alone.

Ou Zhiyong followed closely, and the two quietly stepped into Qingyi Hall.

Fortunately, the eunuch in the palace knew Lin Xiaofeng very well and allowed him to pass after just a brief inquiry.

However, upon entering the hall, Doctor Guo was not there.

Facing the empty hall, Lin Xiaofeng was not discouraged. He immediately stopped a passing palace maid and asked eagerly about the princess's condition.

After hearing the news, the palace maid lowered her eyes and reported tremblingly: "Sir, the princess had another attack yesterday and is still in a coma. Her condition is extremely critical. This is the third time she has relapsed in this month, especially the first one which was the most severe."

After Lin Xiaofeng heard this, alarm bells suddenly rang in his mind. He reflected on his past focus on scientific research and experiments, but ignored the uniqueness of the princess's condition.

If it was ordinary pneumonia, how could there be such frequent and violent recurrences?

Each attack would lead to fainting, which was unusual within his knowledge.

He followed up and asked: "Is there an obvious seasonal pattern for the princess's illness? Which season is particularly serious?"

The palace maid thought for a moment and answered cautiously: "There is indeed a certain pattern. The princess's condition is relatively stable in winter, and she did not even have an attack this winter. However, since the beginning of summer, her condition has obviously worsened and the number of attacks has increased."

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes, as if he had grasped the core of the problem.

He continued to ask: "So, where was the specific place where the princess got sick last time?"

"In the back garden." Gong E's lowered eyes half covered her eyes, her tone full of awe and god.

"Then take me to the back garden." Lin Xiaofeng's face suddenly brightened, and a joy like a morning star shone in his eyes. He seemed to have captured the tip of the iceberg of the princess's condition in this clue, and the hidden secret might be hidden in this mysterious back garden.

Hearing this, Xiao Gong'e's expression changed rapidly. In fear, she knelt down on the cold floor tiles. Her panic was palpable, "Sir! The back garden is a forbidden area exclusive to the princess. No one is allowed to step in unless the princess gives her personal permission!"

At this time, a twenty-tael silver note in Lin Xiaofeng's hand slipped silently to Gong E's eyes. The silver light flashed, reflecting his cunning but resolute smile, as if it were a key, trying to open the closed door.

Gong E picked up the banknote with trembling slender fingers, raised her head and looked at Lin Xiaofeng. There was embarrassment and fear on his face, "Sir, you must never do this risky thing. I beg you to take back your life. I really can't agree to it. If anyone knows about it, I'm afraid I will be killed!"

However, the second twenty-tael silver note fell immediately, and the silent question was loud and clear: "Can you be accommodating for once?"

Gong E bit her red lips tightly and shook her head resolutely: "Sir, this is really something that this servant cannot accept!"

At this moment, a stack of twenty-tael silver notes poured down like a shower. Gong E was dumbfounded, her glazed eyes slowly moved up, and finally rested on Lin Xiaofeng's calm face. Her heart was full of turmoil and contradictions.

Finally, she silently picked up the banknotes scattered on the ground and said in a voice as thin as a gnat: "Sir, please keep this matter confidential..."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled softly, with a calm expression and a confident attitude: "If anyone asks, just say that I entered privately."

Next, under the frightening guidance of Gong E, Lin Xiaofeng went through many twists and turns, but finally walked into the mysterious back garden safely.

The back garden is full of flowers, like a paradise. What is particularly eye-catching is the purple-red flowers. They are like fireworks blooming in the night sky, dazzling and charming.

Lin Xiaofeng pointed to the flowers and asked Gong E, "What kind of flower is this?"

The palace lady lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and replied softly: "This flower is called Moonlight Rose, and it is the most cherished thing by Her Highness the Princess. It blooms all year round and will never wither."

Lin Xiaofeng's heart rippled, and she secretly thought: Could all mysteries be attributed to this flower?

His face was solemn and his tone was deep: "When the princess was most seriously ill, did she ever stay in the back garden and come into contact with these moonlight roses?"

Gong E recalled for a moment and nodded solemnly: "That's true. The princess also picked a large bouquet of moonlight roses with her own hands that day, intending to present it to the emperor."

A bitter smile appeared on Lin Xiaofeng's lips. It suddenly dawned on her heart: the princess was not suffering from a complicated disease as the world said, but was simply allergic to pollen. It is really puzzling that no one in the huge palace can recognize this disease.

Whenever the flower season comes, the princess suffers from frequent illnesses due to pollen allergy. Her condition is slightly relieved, but she cannot resist the yearning for the beautiful scenery of the garden. This cycle goes on, how can it not recur? Due to the unusually cold weather this winter, the moonlight roses failed to bloom as scheduled, so the truth was temporarily hidden under the petals.

The princess has been suffering from illness for ten years, but she still survives tenaciously. Her physical tenacity can't help but make people sigh with emotion and admire her.

If he had known that the problem was so simple, Lin Xiaofeng secretly smiled bitterly, why would he have spent countless efforts to develop penicillin? His hands were stained with blood in the laboratory. Now that he thought about it, it was really unnecessary.

··················································· ···

Lin Xiaofeng's steps passed through the long corridor of the palace like a violent wind and rain, and the aura of tension and excitement spread behind him, forming circles of invisible ripples.

He ran quickly and finally returned to the quiet and solemn depths of the East Palace.

In the East Palace, Li Dexian sat quietly in front of the chessboard as always, like an eternal statue, integrated with time.

The candlelight danced on his meditative face, casting a deep and mysterious light and shadow.

"Your Highness!" Lin Xiaofeng's breathing was not yet calm, but his voice was already high-pitched and passionate, "There is a way to cure the princess's condition!"

When Li Dexian heard the call, he seemed to be slowly waking up from a long time ago. He slowly raised his head, and his eyes at that moment were like autumn water reflecting the sky, deep and complex, containing countless indescribable emotions.

"Old Lin," his voice was low and slightly rippled, "you finally understand?"

Lin Xiaofeng's face was full of confusion, his brows were furrowed, as if he was trapped in an unsolvable mystery, and he responded blankly: "What should I understand?"

"It's a matter of joy." After Li Dexian's words fell, Lin Xiaofeng's heart immediately surged with turmoil. The prince was still obsessed with joy in just two days. The span of his thinking was incredible.

However, driven by complicated emotions towards the woman known as the "ceiling of pure desire", Lin Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, can you really make your own decision on this matter?"

Li Dexian's face was resolute and his words were sonorous and powerful: "I should personally go to the imperial court for this matter and ask for the Holy Judgment!"

After that, he was about to stand up and leave, but Lin Xiaofeng stopped him in time.

Lin Xiaofeng's lips curved into a confident smile, and his words revealed a kind of detached indifference with insight into world affairs, "Perhaps no one in this world can understand a woman's mind better than I, Lin Xiaofeng. If I want to get married, why do I need to ask for His Majesty's permission?"

"I'm going to teach you a few tricks... This first trick is called 'drink more hot water'..."

However, before Lin Xiaofeng's words could fully come to fruition, he was interrupted by Li Dexian's proud voice.

Li Dexian stood upright, his brows showing the majesty of a king, and he said bluntly: "I disdain to imitate the methods of secular men. Women in the world should be vying to admire me, instead of me actively pursuing them!"

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he was dumbfounded and secretly exclaimed: "Oh, my God!"

Facing this illustrious prince, Lin Xiaofeng could only respond with a silent bitter smile, and couldn't help but recall the difficult life experience he had before time travel.

At this moment, he deeply realized that the gap between people sometimes even exceeds the natural barrier between people and dogs.

Lin Xiaofeng's tone was firm and forceful, and he said without any doubt: "Okay! Your Highness, now is not the time for chatting and joking! I am discussing with you a major matter related to the life and death of the princess!"

Li Dexian was shocked by Lin Xiaofeng's sudden serious temperament. A trace of astonishment and uneasiness flashed across his eyes, and then turned into a flame of anxiety: "Really?! Have you really discovered the cause of the princess's illness and already have a treatment plan? "

Lin Xiaofeng nodded vigorously, and the sweat on his forehead slipped down delicately. It was the belief and determination that had been accumulated after some careful consideration: "That's right, it is true! If Your Highness has any questions about this, you are welcome to follow me to the princess's bedroom to check it out in person. , see all the evidence with your own eyes!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dexian was already feeling anxious. He couldn't wait to grab Lin Xiaofeng's wrist. The two of them were like the wind passing through the hall, quickly shuttling through the palace doors, running along the winding corridor, and running all the way back. garden.

Lin Xiaofeng's steps are steady, and every step seems to be on the key clues to solve the mystery, guiding Li Dexian step by step closer to the core of the truth.

After Lin Xiaofeng finished explaining in detail, Li Dexian fell into a deep silence. He stared at the blooming flowers, with confusion and shock in his eyes: "Old Lin, are you kidding me? Yours Does it mean that the cause of my frail and constantly ailing sister is these seemingly ordinary flowers?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked around calmly, examining every detail again, with confidence and perseverance in his eyes: "I have arranged for a special person to conduct a detailed investigation. The location and time of the princess's illness, as well as the periodic pattern of the illness, are all related to the characteristics of these flowers. Existence is so closely connected that the probability of error is almost negligible.”

He picked off a petal at random, put it close to the tip of his nose, and smelled it gently. The rich floral fragrance spread instantly, like an ancient legend that had been sealed for a long time.

Putting down the petals, Lin Xiaofeng said in a deep and sincere tone: "Preliminary judgment, the most important measure at the moment is to keep the princess away from Qingyi Palace as soon as possible, or simply eradicate all these flowers that may induce diseases."

Lin Xiaofeng's words still echoed in the air, and Li Dexian's eyes wandered among the flowers, with the struggles and choices in his heart clearly written on his face.

He thought for a long time, and then resolutely issued the order: "Okay, let's follow your plan. Let's go visit Princess Hanmiao first, and then verify whether this conclusion is correct or not."

On this occasion when she was once again facing the noble yet sickly princess who was as pure as the sky of pure desire on earth, Lin Xiaofeng was keenly aware that her fire of life seemed to be a bit dimmer.

Her eyes were tightly closed, and her cheeks were as pale as an ancient painting that had been rubbed repeatedly by time and became mottled. Every texture was engraved with heavy illness and sorrow.

Just when the silent and depressing atmosphere was almost solidified, the figure of Imperial Physician Guo came into view at the right time.

He held a cauldron of medicine that had just been taken out of the alchemy furnace with both hands. The medicine was steaming hot and fragrant.

When Imperial Physician Guo caught a glimpse of the prince's arrival, he quickly knelt down and bowed before him. His respectful gesture seemed to be a silent worship of the royal authority.

Li Dexian's eyes were instantly fixed on the mysterious medicine pot, and his brows were slightly twitching, as if there were dark clouds and doubts.

He questioned Imperial Physician Guo, and there was an undoubted power in his words: "Physician Guo, what kind of magical elixir are you boiling in this pot?"

When Imperial Doctor Guo heard this, he felt panicked, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He responded in panic: "Your Highness Mingjian, this is a piece of food that I bought from a foreign merchant who came from afar without any trouble." This rare strain of ginseng has mild and profound medicinal properties, and even ordinary people can safely take it. According to ginseng sellers, this ginseng has extraordinary curative effects."

As he spoke, he wiped off the sweat with the back of his hand, and then added: "The only three kilograms of ginseng left in the hands of the foreign merchant, I spent two thousand taels of silver to get it into my pocket. This bowl of ginseng soup is a rare thing." The treasure should be taken by the princess as soon as possible while it is still hot."

Lin Xiaofeng listened on the sidelines, then gently raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth, and said in a slightly contemptuous tone: "Tonic? Ten years have passed, and I have been drinking the tonic day after day. How come I don't see the princess' condition getting better? Is it possible for you? This old fox did something secretly and poisoned the medicine?"

Upon hearing this accusation, Imperial Physician Guo felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. His whole body trembled and he suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Although he knew that Lin Xiaofeng had always been sarcastic, he did not dare to confront her at this moment. He could only hold back the fear in his heart, forced a smile on his face, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Oh, Mr. Lin, you can say this But this is serious, how dare I do such a sinful thing!"

From the corner of his eye, Imperial Physician Guo caught a glimpse of Li Dexian's face gradually turning cold, and the panic in his heart could not be suppressed: "Your Highness, you must not believe Mr. Lin's nonsense!"

However, Li Dexian was not swayed by Dr. Guo's explanation. He had a solemn face and deep eyes. He nodded calmly and said in a low but firm voice: "I believe it. I firmly believe it. In the past ten years, Han Miao How many precious medicinal materials the princess took, you, Imperial Doctor Guo, must be more detailed than me. However, we still haven’t seen any obvious healing effect. Is this because of your lack of medical skills or because there are doubts about these so-called good medicines themselves? ?”

After being pressed to this point, Imperial Physician Guo was sweating like rain, and his words were obviously trembling: "Your Highness, I have few talents and limited knowledge. If there is any inappropriateness, please forgive me. It's just that the princess's condition is indeed complicated and difficult to understand. The ancients said that ginseng is related to the shape of the body." To complement the shape, the overseas ginseng obtained by Wei Chen this time may really have unexpected effects..."

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng quietly approached Li Dexian. His voice was low and cold, like the north wind on a winter night, blowing through people's hearts: "Since Imperial Physician Guo is so familiar with nourishing methods, he must have never missed any opportunity to nourish himself. In this palace, Among them, if we talk about who knows how to absorb the essence of heaven and earth to maintain health, I am afraid that no one can be better than Imperial Physician Guo. In this case, why not simply treat Imperial Physician Guo himself as a medicinal herb, stew it into a soup, and serve it to the princess? Perhaps with his full vitality as a doctor, he can really double the princess's lifespan. This is the most direct way of making up for the shape with the form, and there is nothing wrong with it!"

After hearing this, Li Dexian's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, which was the capture of new ideas and reflection on the current situation.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and the light in his eyes gradually became brighter, like a flame burning in the dark night: "You are right, it does make sense! Why should we stick to the method of ginseng to complement the form? If we directly use human flesh As a supplement, wouldn’t it be more direct and effective?”

The eyes of the two people changed almost at the same moment, with a faint green light glowing in their eyes, like owls targeting prey, and they both turned towards the bewildered Imperial Physician Guo.

At that moment, Imperial Physician Guo became the focus of their hearts on the intersection of life, death and power, and this gorgeous palace was filled with a strange and dangerous atmosphere.

Doctor Guo's face changed rapidly, and he was as pale as paper, as if he had glimpsed the ghost of the underworld. The fear at that moment was like a dark cloud covering the scorching sun, weighing heavily on his haggard cheeks.

He suddenly pointed at Lin Xiaofeng, his teeth trembled fiercely with indignation, his eyes were burning with flaming anger, and his voice was hoarse and full of irrepressible anger, exploding like thunder: "Lin Xiaofeng! You despicable and cunning villain, How dare you speak nonsense when His Highness the Crown Prince is here in person! I will report this to the Emperor and expose your crimes!"

Hearing this, Li Dexian's face suddenly turned as gloomy as iron, and a burst of anger was like a sleeping volcano suddenly erupting. With a soul-shaking roar, he struck with thunder and kicked away the altar that Imperial Physician Guo was holding tightly in his hand. The rare collection of ginseng soup also overturned, the porcelain pieces shattered and the ginseng soup flew, creating a mess. His eyes widened, and he roared with uncontrollable anger: "You old man, how dare you speak rudely to Lin Xiaofeng! You useless old thing!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Dexian attacked Imperial Physician Guo like a violent storm, and every kick was like a heavy hammer hitting people's hearts. Imperial Physician Guo could only dodge left and right, and in the painful struggle made a stern plea: "Prince. Ah! You have been blinded by a treacherous person! I am innocent! Prince, Prince!"

Lin Xiaofeng, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and a playful smile, calmly watched the farce unfold until he realized that Li Dexian's anger was about to get out of control, then he calmly stepped forward, grabbed Li Dexian's arm, and intertwined his words. With persuasion and ridicule: "That's all, Your Highness, enough is enough. If the old man has any good intentions with such fistfights, then we will really be in big trouble."

Li Dexian was breathing heavily, his face was red, and although his body was no longer attacking, he still gritted his teeth and spat: "You old guy, you'd better not let me touch you again, otherwise..."

He turned to Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes revealing inquiry and anxiety: "Old Lin, let's go, let's go find justice for our father!"

"Old Lin! Old Lin!" Lin Xiaofeng called several times, but did not respond. Li Dexian turned to look at him in confusion.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng was staring blankly at the broken ginseng soup on the ground, his eyes empty, like a still statue. When his eyes fell on the pool of turbid liquid, his pupils shrank suddenly, and bloodshot eyes slowly filled his eyes.

It turned out that the rumored overseas ginseng was actually a sweet potato that had been boiled beyond recognition!

The treasure that has been searched for for many years has now appeared in such a ridiculous form in this palace, and it has even been destroyed.

Lin Xiaofeng's expression was twisted and deformed at this moment, like a wounded beast. He suddenly pounced on Imperial Physician Guo, strangled his neck tightly with both hands, and his overwhelming anger turned into an earth-shattering roar: "I will kill you with my own hands. Old thief!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he asked almost frantically: "Tell me! Where did this fake ginseng come from! Is there any left?!"

Imperial Physician Guo was choked to death, his eyes rolled up, and his voice was intermittent, almost pleading: "There is... there is... in the Imperial Hospital..."

Li Dexian's figure was as fast as lightning in the chaotic crowd, and he hugged Lin Xiaofeng with quick eyes and hands. The anxiety spread like ripples on his weathered face.

His voice echoed in the empty space, like the impact of iron and stone, dull and powerful: "Old Lin! We can't go on like this. If this old bone of his is left here like this, it will really be a big deal. !”

When Lin Xiaofeng heard these words, he seemed to be awakened by a thunderclap. He instantly withdrew from Imperial Physician Guo's stiff body. Ecstasy surged in his heart like a tide, and his bright eyes shone with an irrepressible brilliance.

He slowly turned his head and stared at Li Dexian. A deep and confident smile bloomed quietly at the corner of his mouth, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples in circles.

"Haha, Your Highness, did you know that the power of this ginseng is far beyond your imagination." Lin Xiaofeng's words were full of excitement and expectation, "This is not just an ordinary ginseng, but also a ginseng that carries the future. The hope, the expectation of all of us, is poured into this ginseng."

Li Dexian clutched Lin Xiaofeng's sleeve tightly, his eyes full of traces of time burning with fervent expectation: "Old Lin, are you sure that this ginseng can really bring about the change we desire?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Li Dexian intently, his gaze was firm and resolute, and he nodded heavily: "I firmly believe it. The power contained in this ginseng is enough to lead us into a new era. It will dispel the worries that hang in our hearts. In the haze of hunger, let the sunshine of hope shine in every corner.”

Then, his eyes turned and fell on Dr. Guo, who was pretending to faint and fell to the ground. A sly but resourceful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Doctor Guo, do you hear this? This is our future, you don't have to worry about your life. It ends now, and on the contrary, it will become more precious because of this hope.”

Li Dexian took a deep breath, his eyes shining with determination, like the brightest star in the night sky: "Old Lin, I choose to believe in you, we will definitely be able to break the current predicament."

His thoughts drifted to the mysterious sweet potato, which circled repeatedly in Lin Xiaofeng's mind like an unsolved mystery. Can it really be their savior from hunger? Lin Xiaofeng's heart was full of expectations and longing.

With its astonishing growth rate and tenacious vitality, sweet potatoes can grow rapidly in Lin Xiaofeng's memory. They can grow to the thickness of a thumb in just two months. At that time, they will become the protagonist on people's dining tables.

Even if people are tired of eating, they can make various delicacies by refining starch. Even the stems and leaves of sweet potatoes cannot be ignored and can also be supplied to people as food.

Lin Xiaofeng has long been fascinated by sweet potatoes. He knows that only by achieving a breakthrough increase in grain production can the country's labor force be truly liberated.

At that time, the high-end products carefully created by Yangqu County can truly step out of the county and onto the national stage, and sweet potatoes are the cornerstone of realizing all this vision.

However, just when Lin Xiaofeng's eyes accidentally fell to the piece of sweet potatoes spread on the soil, his heart felt like a stone was thrown into the calm lake, causing subtle emotional ripples.

The skin of the sweet potato is as fine as sand, so smooth and inviting that you can get close to it. Every inch of the texture is like a silent whisper of the earth, telling the story of the accumulation of time. The sweet fragrance that permeates from the sweet potato is like a secret hidden deep in the earth, spreading out and inviting people to explore.

Lin Xiaofeng's throat moved slightly and he took a deep breath of air full of sweet potato scent. He was keenly aware that this thing was unusual.

I saw him bowing forward, his movements pious and cautious, as if what he was holding was not a sweet potato, but a treasure of the earth.

His fingertips touched the moist skin of the sweet potato and felt the earthy smell contained in it, which was the selfless nourishment and gift of Mother Earth.

He put the sweet potato close to his lips and gently bit the thin skin. In an instant, a mellow and deep taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue. It was the taste of the earth, simple but full of power.

Lin Xiaofeng closed her eyes and concentrated, immersing herself in the taste of the earth, trying to uncover the mysterious veil hidden by the earth through this sweet potato.

At this moment, Li Dexian looked at Lin Xiaofeng with great interest, with a playful smile in his eyes, as if he was admiring a vivid picture. He imitated Lin Xiaofeng's movements, picked up a piece of sweet potato and put it in his mouth, then closed his eyes, trying to capture the unique flavor.

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Dexian's intoxicated appearance.

He knew that Li Dexian was trying hard to figure out the wonderful taste contained in this sweet potato.

Lin Xiaofeng chewed the sweet potato carefully and confirmed that its taste was indeed unique. Although the sweetness was not extreme, it had an elegant yet innocent sweetness.

As his thoughts wandered, Lin Xiaofeng recalled his experience in this time and space, and was filled with emotion.

The fruits and vegetables here cannot compete with the modern world in terms of sweetness or flavor.

Although these natural crops that have not been carefully selected and improved by humans retain their most original qualities, they cannot satisfy people's increasingly picky taste buds.

For example, the watermelon grown in high-tech greenhouses in Yangqu County, despite its bright appearance, is far from ideal in terms of sweetness and meat quality. This is undoubtedly a limitation of the variety itself.

Li Dexian frowned slightly at this moment, obviously lost in thought. There was a trace of confusion in his words: "Well, this thing tastes very unique, but what special medicinal value does it have?"

After Lin Xiaofeng heard this, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the light of wisdom shone in his eyes. He knew in his heart that this sweet potato was absolutely abnormal, but he was not in a hurry to reveal the truth to Li Dexian. Instead, he wanted to give him an unexpected surprise.

He slowly said: "Cure? Of course it can." After a deliberate pause, he noticed that Li Dexian's face was full of expectation. "But this sweet potato does not target ordinary illnesses, but two serious diseases in the world - the disease of poverty and the disease of hunger!"

When Li Dexian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly enlightened, raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, good stuff!"

Lin Xiaofeng's gaze was like a wisp of cold stars streaking through the sky, and it was accurately locked on the doctor Guo who was still trying to keep up his face.

Without any hesitation, he took action again, grabbed Imperial Physician Guo by the collar, and forcibly lifted him up from his slumped sitting position.

At this moment, Imperial Physician Guo was like a statue eroded by time. His originally proud head hung weakly, as if the weight of his entire body was pressing heavily on his neck.

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes flashed, and her wrist paused slightly. A strong force instantly penetrated through the clothes and hit Doctor Guo's crotch accurately.

In an instant, Doctor Guo let out a shrill scream as if he had been struck by lightning. His face turned red, and tears of shame and anger filled his eyes. He gritted his teeth and roared: "Master Lin! A true man, I would rather be broken into pieces than be ruined!" It can be killed but not humiliated!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes became sharper and his brows furrowed slightly, and an unquestionable aura of majesty came out of his face.

He stopped coldly: "Noisy! Follow me to the Taiyuan Hospital immediately! I want that ginseng and who purchased it. All the details must be explained to me clearly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiaofeng grabbed Imperial Physician Guo's wrist and rushed out of the room like a gust of wind, leaving behind a firm and decisive figure swaying in the air.

Behind him, Li Dexian was so anxious that his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his voice was trembling with difficulty: "Brother Lin, my girl..."

Lin Xiaofeng didn't stop, he just glanced back, his eyes were extremely determined, and he decisively interrupted Li Dexian: "Let's talk about this in detail later!"

Then, the three of them left quickly like an arrow from a string. Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian's eyes were bright, shining with burning determination;

In contrast, Imperial Physician Guo was in agony. He kept wailing all the way, and the sharp sound tore through the sky, causing pedestrians along the way to stop and look sideways, confused and surprised.

Soon after, they came to Tai Hospital, where the aroma of medicine overflowed and there were mountains of medicinal materials.

With embarrassment and a deep sense of shame on his face, Imperial Physician Guo rummaged through the many medicinal materials.

It wasn't until a seemingly ordinary box containing three sweet potatoes was brought to Lin Xiaofeng's eyes that his tense face gradually relaxed, as if a heavy stone had finally fallen to the ground in his heart.

He leaned close to Li Dexian's ear and whispered the profound meaning contained in it: "This is a sweet potato. The yield per mu can reach more than a thousand catties. If it is widely planted, it will surely become the cornerstone of peace in the world."

"You should keep it safe for the time being, and be careful to prevent these quack doctors from causing trouble again and causing mishaps."

Hearing this, Li Dexian's eyes widened instantly. In shock, his eyes focused deeply on the three ordinary sweet potatoes in the box, and he already understood in his heart the extraordinary significance they carried.

He took the box with trembling hands and carefully put it tightly into his arms for protection.

Seeing that Li Dexian was treating her with such caution, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned his sharp sword-like eyes to Imperial Physician Guo and asked in a steady and powerful voice: "Where is the person who bought the ginseng now?"

Doctor Guo's face was gloomy, and his tone revealed the helplessness that could not be concealed: "I have sent someone to summon you urgently, and they should arrive soon."

···········································

In the silence where one could hear the flow of time, a young man slowly stepped into view. His face was like an uncarved jade, simple and simple, and his honest and honest spirit was naturally revealed. Every step was steady and powerful, as if he was stepping on the ground. The solid land seems to be telling the precipitation of time. He bowed deeply in the direction of the prince. The solemnity and rules were as rigorous and meticulous as the red tape in ancient books, which made people respect this young man.

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were as sharp as a sword, piercing the calm in the air directly, and his voice was loud and clear: "You are the guy who bought the ginseng from the foreign merchant, right? Tell me your name."

The young man known as Zhao Xiaosi had a mixture of shyness and honesty between his brows and eyes. He bowed slightly and spoke in a humble and sincere tone: "Sir, the grassman is Zhao Xiaosi. He indeed purchased the ginseng plant from a foreign businessman. .”

Lin Xiaofeng stared at Zhao Xiaosi like a cheetah locking its prey, and then asked the next question: "Where are those foreign merchants now? Did they bring anything you haven't seen yet?"

A subtle hesitation flashed across Zhao Xiaosi's face, like a gust of wind gently blowing across the lake, causing ripples.

He pondered for a moment, as if weighing every word over and over in his heart, and then spoke slowly: "The foreign businessman has a unique face, and is obviously not a local. He broke into our Jingjiang territory alone. Due to the language barrier, our communication is particularly difficult. Except In addition to ginseng, he also had many strange things on hand. They were shaped like ordinary radishes, but their heads were covered with warts and fibrous roots hung down. However, most of them were rotten, so the common people did not accept them. Later, those foreign merchants Leave quietly."

"A radish with warts..." Lin Xiaofeng murmured, frowning. This description formed a strange picture in his mind, which confused him.

He inquired further: "Can you elaborate on the specific form of that 'radish'?"

Zhao Xiaosi drew with his hands, as if those strange "radishes" were right in front of him: "They look like ordinary radishes, but their surface is covered with knots, and there are bunches of thin whiskers trailing from the lower end. .”

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, his expression suddenly changed, as if he was struck by lightning. Suddenly, the image of corn appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: "This is fucking corn! Those gangs That bastard in the hospital missed the corn so easily!"

He fell into a brief silence, and his heart was filled with waves. It took a long time before he gradually calmed down. When he spoke again, there was more determination in his voice: "Where did you meet those foreign merchants?"

Zhao Xiaosi lowered his head and replied: "Replying to your lord, that was at Surabaya Port."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng had a flash of doubt in his eyes: "As a member of the palace, why do you purchase medicinal materials at Surabaya Port?"

Zhao Xiaosi raised his head with a firm look in his eyes: "You don't know something, sir. Some medicinal materials require freshness and quality. Transporting them by water can not only maintain their original taste, but also greatly reduce the loss during the journey."

As the light in the room gradually settled, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes became deep and sharp, like autumn water in a cold pond, reflecting the shining brilliance of the stars.

The series of questions he threw out one after another were like stars dotting the silent night sky, dense and full of mystery.

Zhao Xiaosi, on the other hand, was as steady as the Big Dipper under the stars, deciphering them one by one calmly and accurately. Every response was like a meteor cutting through the darkness, reflecting the light of his wisdom and profound knowledge.

The dust seems to have fallen to the ground quietly, and the desire to pursue foreign merchants seems to have been blown away by the wind of time, disappearing in the gaps of time. Looking forward to meeting again seems to be as far away as looking through the autumn water.

Lin Xiaofeng held Zhao Xiaosi's thick shoulders firmly, and the two walked side by side toward the door with firm and powerful steps.

Lin Xiaofeng's words were low and meaningful: "Zhao Xiaosi, I am really impressed by your keen insight into world affairs and your eloquent eloquence."

The march did not stop, and Lin Xiaofeng's voice suddenly turned serious, like a sudden cold wind: "How much silver did you pay for that batch of red ginseng?"
