Chapter 179 Xiao Weijing's black heart, Shen Ning smiles and greets
"We are making money every day. Who is not greedy? Even the prince's people are trying to get a share of the pie, but the prince is so powerful that they can't even touch the door."
Okay, Shen Ning's ears are getting calloused when he brags about how powerful the villain is in front of her every day, "You are so powerful, is there any way you can help me get Acanthopanax, Kongqing, and Jincai?"
She analyzed the ingredients of the tribute plaster, but the three herbs were not available in the capital. She still obtained some through the help of the emperor's uncle. The effect of the refining was quite good, but it could not be realized without the supply source.
"Princess, it's not easy for you to want these things." Pang Desong smiled meaningfully, "Just ask the prince."
Shen Ning, "..." No wonder the stock suddenly ran out, it turned out to be him behind the scenes.
Seeing her misunderstanding, Pang Desong clarified for his master, "The princess has misunderstood. These three medicinal herbs grow at the border and are rare in the first place. With the war and disputes on the border now, it is even more difficult to get the medicinal materials."
The prince is in the capital, but it’s very simple to get some medicinal ingredients, and I guess no one else can get them except him.”
Thinking of Bingshi's daily fortune, Shen Ning was not afraid at all and asked Xiao Weijing for it.
"How much do you sell a bottle for?"
What Shen Ning discovered was that he didn't smell like copper before, but now he really stinks.
"How much do you think it's worth?" If the marketing of the tribute medicine keeps up, the price will definitely be high.
Xiao Weijing said loudly, "I can make these three herbs, but I have to divide them into 50 and 50."
Shen Ning smiled and said, "My lord, you don't even have any shame."
She has integrity and will never cooperate with such a shady person.
However, when the emperor's uncle gave her the estimated price, Shen Ning instantly changed her mind, "Your Majesty, we can discuss it."
"Not only are these three flavors scarce, herdsmen risking their lives to collect herbs, but 50% of them don't want more from you."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are right." Whoever has the monopoly power will have the pricing power.
"After one month, I can give you the first batch of medicine. It won't be too much. Count on the treatment fee that I will reward you with. We will talk about the rest later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Ning made a good calculation, "In the future, if I give you a share, it will be deducted from the ice cube commission."
Xiao Weijing rubbed her temples, "Are you worried that I won't give you money?"
"How can you not, my lord, you keep your word and your teeth are like gold?" Bah, you are a capricious villain!
It's clearly right in front of you, but it seems to be thousands of miles away, within reach but out of reach.
It's okay to be out of sight, but Xiao Weijing was jumping around every day, which made Xiao Weijing very depressed. He had nowhere to vent the anger in his heart. She was like a dull knife, slowly cutting him with each blade.
Not to mention the pain, but I couldn't shout out.
Xiao Weijing thought for a while, "The Queen Mother's birthday is still one month away, so you should prepare in advance."
"What are you preparing?" Shen Ning was confused, "A gift?"
"I will prepare the gift." Xiao Weijing looked her up and down, "You should dress up nicely when the time comes."
She knows how to do this, and she will ensure that her beauty will outshine the rest of the world and earn him a lot of face.
When entering the palace, you must dress formally and observe proper etiquette. Otherwise, you will not only make a fool of yourself, but may also cause trouble.
Shen Ning, who had a strong desire to survive, started to get busy again.
…
Once the seven days were up, Shen Ning made arrangements to go to the eldest princess' mansion again.
This time it was easy to navigate, and even the servants who led the way were much more attentive. I guess the eldest princess probably didn’t mess around again.
When we met again, the eldest princess's makeup was much lighter, and even her eyes were not as majestic as last time. "Watch tea, please sit down."
Shen Ning asked knowingly, "I wonder how the eldest princess is doing lately?"
"It's not bad, I feel a lot better."
After the exchange of greetings, Shen Ning gave her a follow-up consultation. She found that her health was much better after quitting sex and drinking. However, years of promiscuous life had caused severe physical deficits, which could not be replenished overnight.
After the adjustment, I will tell you what I need to tell you, and it is strictly forbidden to indulge in drinking and sex.
"You are a brave woman." The eldest princess looked serious, but with admiration, "You are so bold in speaking out what others dare not say. If it had been anyone else, you would have been dragged out and chopped off."
"Thank you, Chief Master, for your appreciation." Shen Ning was neither humble nor overbearing. "Telling the truth will indeed offend people, but the purpose of folk women practicing medicine is to treat illnesses and save people, not to flatter people."
The eldest princess looked at the reward and said, "My health is improving, but I am more prone to insomnia and dreaminess. Please prescribe some more medicine."
In order to change her extravagant style, Shen Ning added a small amount of soothing and calming medicine to the prescription, but it turned out that she was more prone to insomnia than when she indulged?
There are many types of insomnia, including mental stress, neurological disorders, etc.
Her symptoms were obviously mental stress, and she wanted to indulge in sex, sex, and drunkenness, but it was just to numb her nerves.
"A civilian woman is so bold that she dares to ask the elder if she has something on his mind?"
The eldest princess' face stiffened, and her tone suddenly turned cold, "I just ask you to prescribe medicine, why is there all this nonsense!"
"It's easy to prescribe medicine, but heart diseases still require heart medicine. I'm afraid that the medicine I prescribe treats the symptoms but not the root cause."
The eldest princess looked gloomy, but she did not attack her in the end. She was silent for a moment and said: "When Mrs. Liu reaches middle age, she has encountered many unsatisfactory things. May I ask how you overcome them?"
"A common woman's roots were damaged by childbirth in her early years. Her children died in infancy, and she lost them again in middle age. Now she is alone. At first, she felt miserable every day, but it is human nature to live. Later she decided to devote herself to medical skills, and now she is living happily."
The eldest princess was surprised, seeing that her eyebrows were relaxed and she was born with a smiling face. She had never imagined that she was so miserable in the first half of her life.
Shen Ning was not a psychiatrist, but he could tell that she was depressed and continued to use alcohol and sex to relieve her depression.
So he did not hesitate to modify the prescription, "Eldest Princess, nine times out of ten in life you will not be satisfied as you wish, so do it and cherish it. Instead of getting stuck in painful memories, it is better to divert your attention and do something beneficial to your body and mind.
In fact, as long as you believe that you can change, time can heal all wounds."
The eldest princess has a bad temper and thinks that she is just an ordinary female doctor. What does it mean to have an unsatisfactory life?
But then I thought about it, I have lost my son, my husband, and I am unable to have children, and I have gone through all the big hurdles in life, so I am indeed qualified to say this.
Her heart was touched, and she murmured softly, "Do it and cherish it?"
Time can heal all wounds. I didn't expect that an ordinary female doctor would speak so interestingly.
"The most important thing in a person's life is health." Shen Ning said euphemistically: "Many times only when facing a life-or-death illness, many people will discover that the people or things they cherished most in the past are actually not that important at all."
The eldest princess did not speak, her expression was quite complicated.
As a doctor, she did everything she could. Shen Ning stood up and left.
Just as he was about to step out of the hall, a pretty girl walked towards him. She stepped into the hall with her swollen belly and said, "Mother, the baby is here."
The maid turned sideways and saluted, "Princess."
The voice was a bit familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, and Shen Ning looked at the girl with doubtful eyes.
