After saying this, the Emperor and Empress above, along with the ministers below, all started pondering. The Second Prince visited Xiang City two years ago? No one received any news, so he must have gone in secret. Why would the Second Prince secretly go to Xiang City?
Thinking of Prince Kang in Xiang City, the Emperor squinted his eyes.
However, upon careful consideration, the Emperor realized that Prince Kang is now far removed from the court and is unlikely to have any collusion with the Second Prince.
Wanyan Zhang stood up and returned the salute to Yun Jiao, "Two years ago, I passed through Xiang City in search of a dicinal ingredient for my mother and was saved by Doctor Gu."
Yun Jiao replied with a smile, "The Second Prince is too kind."
"Regarding your mother’s illness, I’ve already spoken. You only need to inform of the specific condition, and I can prescribe dication for her."
"I will not go to Huining."
As Wanyan Zhang frowned and was about to speak, Yun Jiao quickly spoke, "I guess the Second Prince’s insistence on going to Huining is probably not just for your mother’s treatnt."
"I do not doubt the Second Prince’s filial piety, but the fact that the Second Prince has repeatedly acquired large quantities of White dicine and healing oil from Renxin Hall indicates that the purpose is likely for these two secret formulas."
Wanyan Zhang was taken aback by Yun Jiao’s insight, raising his eyebrow. Only a few of his confidants knew of this plan, yet Yun Jiao cleverly guessed it.
Since that was the case, he openly admitted, "I do indeed want these two secret formulas. If Doctor Gu is willing to part with them, just na your price."
In the grand hall, the Emperor and Empress, along with the officials of Great Chu, began to ponder. White dicine and healing oil?
Healing oil, as the na implies, must be for treating injuries.
What is the purpose of White dicine?
Yun Jiao quickly clarified their doubts, "White dicine has miraculous hemostatic effects. The Second Prince must intend to use these in the military."
After saying this, the Emperor and Empress above, as well as the officials of Great Chu, imdiately understood, and they beca anxious. They couldn’t just randomly interject, but this must absolutely not be sold to Da Jin!
Da Jin’s army is already valiant and fierce, and if they reduce their casualties with these dicines, Great Chu will have no chance of survival.
The Emperor once ambitiously wanted to reclaim the sixteen prefectures of Youyun taken by Liao Country, and thus signed an alliance with Da Jin. Unexpectedly, the troops sent by Great Chu were no match for Liao Country, suffering nurous defeats and failing to capture a single city. In the end, it was Da Jin’s invincible cavalry that obliterated Liao Country.
After such an incident, the Emperor and the ministers realized that in terms of military power, Great Chu and Da Jin were worlds apart!
How could they let them further strengthen their forces!
Yun Jiao glanced at the anxious ministers and then at the Emperor, who was clearly also concerned. She thought for a mont and said, "Before I leave this world, I plan to secretly pass down the formulas for White dicine and healing oil. The Second Prince can have them if he desires, but my price is too high for you to afford."
Wanyan Zhang laughed arrogantly, "No matter how high your price is, there is nothing in the world that I cannot buy!"
At this mont, a Great Chu official could no longer hold back, "Doctor Gu, these secret formulas cannot be sold, I hope you will reconsider!"
Then several officials chid in, "Indeed, they cannot be sold; they are our Great Chu’s treasures!"
Empress Zheng at the top didn’t care if Yun Jiao could see, giving her anxious glances.
Yun Jiao seed not to hear the words of the Great Chu officials and looked at Wanyan Zhang seriously, "You can have the secret formulas, but in exchange, give the remaining ten prefectures of Youyun."
