Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!
Chapter 40: Fight for Medicine
The young man remained unconscious, and the doctor who came was stroking his beard and sighing frequently.
"Now he is just being kept alive by drugs, his life is hanging by a thread!"
Shen Mengyao was extremely worried. It would be fine if she didn't care about this matter, but if she did, she would definitely see it through to the end. What's more, the boy was curled up in a cage at the time, surrounded by wolves, and the desire to survive and persistence in his eyes still deeply moved her.
"Is there any other way?"
The doctor seemed to be thinking: "Of course he has used the best medicinal materials, but I think he seems to be a slave, which is really not worth it."
"I hope there is a way." Shen Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly, "Please tell me clearly."
"There is a kind of white jade snow lotus that can nourish qi and replenish blood. Add it to the soup and feed him with it. It will surely sustain his spirit and let him recover slowly." The doctor said confidently.
Shen Mengyao asked again: "Is this medicine rare?"
“Although there is very little of it in the capital, there should be a few pharmacies that sell it. You’ll have to trouble yourself to find it.” After the doctor finished speaking, he put on the medicine box, shook his head and left.
Shen Mengyao immediately ordered Cuiwei to find someone to ask.
Not long after, Cuiwei came back with an ugly look on her face: "Princess, this season is not the season for white jade snow lotus. Right now, only the palace pharmacy and the largest Tong Ren Tang pharmacy in the capital have it."
Shen Mengyao's heart sank. She was certainly not qualified to ask for help from the palace pharmacy. Although Tong Ren Tang was large, the herbs were so expensive that they probably wouldn't be sold easily. But the young man's life was at stake, and she couldn't just watch him die.
Shen Mengyao gritted her teeth and decided to go to Tongrentang in person, then hurried out of the house with Cuiwei.
When the pharmacist from Tongrentang saw Shen Mengyao and heard that she wanted to buy White Jade Snow Lotus, he immediately frowned.
“Madam, there is only one white jade snow lotus left. Unless there is a written order from our boss, this medicine cannot be sold at will.” The pharmacist politely refused.
Shen Mengyao was anxious: "This medicine is not extremely rare. Now that your store already has it, why can't you sell it? What's more, I'm in urgent need of life-saving."
"We dare not ask what the boss means." The pharmacist pampered him and said in a low voice.
Shen Mengyao understood in her heart that it was precisely because the owner knew that there were only a few of these medicines left in the capital that he thought they were a rare treasure and wanted to keep them and raise the price.
She didn't make things too difficult for the other person, but instead pleaded sincerely.
"I am willing to pay double the price, and I only ask the pharmacist to show some mercy and sell the snow lotus to me!"
The pharmacist thought for a moment and said, "If you are willing to pay double the price, I will ask the owner for you."
"In that case, great!"
Shen Mengyao was nervous and anxious, but she had no idea what to do and could only wait quietly.
After a while, the pharmacist came out and said, "If you really want it and offer double the price, there is no reason for us not to sell it to you."
Shen Mengyao was delighted and prepared to let Cuiwei take the money.
But unexpectedly, a person suddenly came in from outside the door and spoke loudly.
"I want this snow lotus."
The maidservant beside her followed her steps and stepped in, praising with a smile: "After using the White Jade Snow Lotus, you will definitely be more beautiful and make a stunning appearance at the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
When Shen Mengyao heard the word ***, she raised her head suddenly. The woman who came in from the door was wearing gorgeous palace clothes and had a noble temperament. It was the Princess *** whom she had met before. She didn't expect that they would meet again here.
She was followed by a group of servants, each holding a variety of clothing materials and treasures, obviously planning to make large purchases for the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
When the pharmacist heard the name ***, he immediately went to greet him with a smile on his face: "***, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I wonder what kind of herbs you need this time?"
Zhao Wan'er's eyes fell lightly on the white jade snow lotus in the pharmacist's hand, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes: "I heard that you have white jade snow lotus here, so I came here specially to buy it."
The pharmacist immediately nodded and bowed.
"Mr. Shen has a good eye. This white jade snow lotus is the treasure of our store. It has the effect of beautifying the skin and prolonging life. But..." The pharmacist hesitated and looked at Shen Mengyao, "This lady also likes this snow lotus and is willing to pay double the price for it."
*** raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Mengyao, with a trace of disdain in her eyes: "Oh? It's you again! You really make things difficult for me everywhere."
Shen Mengyao's heart tightened, and she bowed respectfully: "My daughter greets you."
*** snorted lightly, with arrogance on his face: "It's still a rule that there is no regent to protect you."
Shen Mengyao took a deep breath. She knew Zhao Wan'er was always arrogant and domineering, but for the sake of the boy's life, she spoke in a gentler tone, "Damn, I have already bought the White Jade Snow Lotus from this pharmacist."
*** sneered, deliberately dragging out the ending tone, with a hint of threat in her delicate tone: "Oh? Really?"
The pharmacist swallowed nervously and said, "Since it is a treasure, it will naturally go to the one who pays the highest price. Your wife hasn't paid yet, so this thing doesn't belong to you."
"You and I have reached an agreement. How can this be possible?" Shen Mengyao frowned and said coldly.
*** was too lazy to talk to him and directly took out a gold ingot: "Good things will not be short of your money."
The pharmacist was blinded by money, and what's more, he had reported the extra money to his boss before, so wouldn't it go into his pocket?
Shen Mengyao was a little anxious, and pleaded earnestly: "Your Highness, I used this thing to save my life, I hope you can give it to me."
*** covered her mouth and laughed loudly. After she had laughed enough, she said contemptuously: "Help? That slave's worthless life? How can such a precious thing be used to save a life? It's better to leave it to this princess for beauty and skin care."
Shen Mengyao was anxious. She had no way out at this moment. "My Lord, that slave is in danger. Please spare me this snow lotus."
*** was unmoved and waved her hand calmly: "This princess doesn't have the time to care about other people's lives. I want this snow lotus."
The pharmacist was just about to wrap up the snow lotus when a clear voice suddenly came from outside.
"There are laws in this dynasty that in order to protect people's livelihoods, ordinary medicinal materials cannot be arbitrarily priced. By doing this, are you planning to make the entire Tong Ren Tang owner and even the shopkeeper go to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion to have a meeting?"
The pharmacist's face turned pale and he looked at the visitor.
He was dressed in a dark blue robe, had a tall and graceful figure, and had an extraordinary bearing. One could tell at first glance that he was a noble from the royal family.
"Are you scared silly? Don't you dare to speak? My prince is asking you a question." Bei Lan shouted sternly.
