As someone unfamiliar with pharmacology, he could identify one medicinal herb without a problem. However, he could not understand this prescription at all.
Shen Zhuxin raised her chin and bragged, “Of course, the medicine based on this prescription can cure many illnesses. Even if it can’t treat some serious illnesses, it can still mitigate their symptoms.”
In fact, she was not simply bragging—it was the truth. An Jiuyue’s prescription was not just for treating the epidemic disease. It could also treat many slow-acting poisons.
“Really?” They did not believe her and asked her again.
“Really!” Shen Zhuxin nodded firmly and glared angrily at them. “Young Master ordered someone to send this prescription here. You can choose not to believe me, but you can’t even believe her?”
They shook their heads immediately. None of them dared question Young Master’s capability.
“Then we’ll prepare more herbs. You can stay and refine more pills according to this prescription after the 11th Village tides through this. What do you think?” Qi Ye suggested.
Since the prescription was so good, it would be a pity not to refine more pills.
“Of course, that’s what I was planning to do too.” Shen Zhuxin nodded decisively.
If she refined more pills, they could use them right away instead of preparing herbs again when needed in the future. It was more convenient.
“It’s a shame that I’m nowhere near as good as Young Master although I’ve studied so many years of pharmacology.”
Shen Zhuxin sighed softly. Could she have written such a perfect prescription? Certainly not.
Therefore, the Young Master was in a league of her own.
In a fairly nice residence in Yang Town…
This residence originally belonged to a wealthy businessman in Yang Town. However, he had no choice but to move out because Prince Lei Ting had taken a fancy to it. He had to give up the house his family had lived in for generations with tears in his eyes.
Prince Lei Ting, who had obtained the residence, stayed there with an easy conscience.
A residence would have been worth a considerable portion of the wealthy businessman’s family fortune. However, it was unappealing and worth nothing to the high and mighty Prince Lei Ting.
He would not have stayed in such a small residence if this place was not convenient for the 11th Stockaded Village to approach him for help. Staying here was an insult to his status as a prince.
“Any news from the 11th Stockaded Village?”
The sun shone brightly as Prince Lei Ting sat on a rocking chair in the courtyard. Eating grapes, he asked his subordinate with his eyes closed.
The subordinate lowered his head and answered, “Your Highness, the 11th Stockaded Village has recently tightened its security because of the epidemic. I’ve sent people to contact our people there several times, but they all returned empty-handed.”
Beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He was afraid his master would reprimand him for saying this.
However, he genuinely knew nothing about the 11th Stockaded Village. He did not know what had happened to the people they had planted there. There was no news at all!
Just as he had expected, Prince Lei Ting opened his eyes immediately and glanced at him sharply.
When the subordinate saw this, his legs went limp, and he knelt with a thud.
“This is all because of my incompetence. Please punish me, Your Highness.”
Although Prince Lei Ting was angry, he was not in the mood to punish his subordinate when he remembered that his target was the 18 Stockaded Villages.
