The 65th Inhuman Gold Medal
"This golden token, Cheng Qian holds it. With this golden token, you can freely enter and exit the palace, choose a suitable woman from among them to be the empress... Hmm... What Cao Dianyu and Sun Shiyi said is final!" Old Li passed down a shiny golden token and said.
"Yes, thank you Father Emperor!" Li Chengqian took the gold plaque, heavy, and didn't know if it was made of pure gold or the inhumane meaning behind this gold plaque.
Forget it, don't think about anything else! Li Chengqian told himself.
"Didn't you just see Cheng Zhijie?!" Old Li had finished dealing with this matter and also didn't want to mention it again, so he asked about something else.
Li Chengqian nodded, "I see. I suppose it's about Yuwen Fu's matter!"
"That's right." Old Li paused and said, "Cheng Zhijie only knew that Yuwen Fu was a famous doctor in Chang'an at the time, and he invited him to his home to treat his foot injury. Seeing that his orthopedic skills were excellent, he recommended him to enter the palace, and then had nothing more to do with him."
"Uh..." Li Chengqian started to say something, but then stopped.
Old Li frowned, "If you have something to say, then speak up. Although you were not very promising in the past, you always spoke your mind directly. Now, how come you've become someone who doesn't even dare to speak in front of me?"
"What? I said Father Emperor shouldn't be angry! Your son thinks that one person's words are only one-sided, and we still need to find Yuwen Fu to know the truth." Li Chengqian hastily said.
"Do you want me to suspect Cheng Zhijie?" Old Li's voice turned cold.
"No." Li Chengqian hastily said, "Over there I listen to Father Emperor, whatever Father Emperor says is what it is!"
Li Chengqian just didn't like Cheng Yaojin, and he wanted to get him into trouble. Although Old Li was very kind, who knows what he really thought in his heart? For now, Li Chengqian won't suffer any losses from this, will he?
"Alright, you can go now." Old Li said.
Make a bow and withdraw.
After leaving Ganlu Temple, Li Chengqian held a golden plaque and asked Cao: "What is this Yeting Palace?"
"Your Majesty, this is the Rear Palace, located to the west of Taiji Hall. It's where palace maids and officials' wives reside. The central part of the Rear Palace is where the palace maids live, while the rear section is for the officials' wives who have been assigned to work in the palace." Cao explained.
The east of Taiji Palace is Donggong Palace of Li Chengqian, and the west is Yeting Palace.
What Old Li said earlier about the guilty woman was referring to the former official's wife and daughter.
He felt the gold medal in his hand was a bit hot, and threw it to Cao's family name, then turned his face to other directions, saying: "It's better for Cao Dianyu to take this gold medal, then you go find suitable crimes... hmm, what's her name, anyway, you handle it yourself, then tomorrow we'll have our first experiment."
He asked Lao Long to hurry him up, but after taking only two steps, he asked Lao Long to stop and turned around to say to Cao Riben: "Cao Riben, you also arrange for the female doctor's personnel to come, tomorrow follow Old Sun for clinical experiments!"
"Ah." The man with the surname Cao nodded.
"Go back to the government hall and tell stories, my mother wants to hear stories." Li Chengqian thought that out of sight was out of mind.
Watching Li Chengqian leave, Cao's surname bitterly smiled and looked at Old Sun, saying: "Si Miao brother, this matter may ruin the reputation of our two lives!"
Lao Sun, however, was deep in thought. After a while, he said: "Japanese brother, the prince's move may be able to help us find better ways to treat illnesses and teach our apprentices in the future!"
"Huh?" Cao's family was stunned.
"Although we're using the criminal as a test subject, as long as we don't harm her life, our consciences will be clear. If we can find a lifesaving method from this, it'll be worth it to save countless people in the future. Moreover, after decades of practicing medicine, our eyesight isn't bad, and the Crown Prince's method is quite feasible! Even if we fail, what's the harm to our reputation?" Old Sun said firmly.
Cao surname listened and smiled: "Brother Sima's insight is high!"
He has already seen that this will not only not damage his reputation, but also increase his reputation, and he is delighted!
If Li Chengqian were here, he would definitely point at this guy and say, another inhuman thing!
Back in the Lizheng Hall, the Empress and Consort Yang were playing chess, both with smiles on their faces, as if they had encountered something delightful while playing.
When Li Chengqian came in, Yang Fei smiled and said: "Chengqian, this Five Sons Chess you invented is quite interesting!"
Li Chengqian took a look and exclaimed, "Wow, the five-stone chess game that several kids were playing outside has been taken over by two mom-level players!"
"Hehe."
The queen glared at him and said, "What are you smiling about, look at your appearance!"
"Sister, don't be annoyed, it's your turn!" Yang fei smiled and mediated.
Li Chengqian watched them make a few moves, hmm not bad, doesn't seem like a novice, their chess skills are much higher than Xiao Laohu's, no wonder they're two high-ranking officials who have been fighting for over ten years in the palace. However, Li Chengqian still has great confidence, his chess skills can spread across eight or nine routes, while the Queen Mother and Yang Fei only have four or five routes at most.
"Mother won't listen to books today, you can go and do whatever you want!" The queen said seriously while playing Go with Li Chengqian.
Watching his mother's serious chess game, Li Chengqian let out a sound and bid farewell to the two mothers.
Out of the Lizheng Hall, the young version of "Li Shimin" was playing Go with Xiao Laohu, one person with three chessboards, killing each other with great pleasure. Li Chengqian called up Su He and then returned to the East Palace.
There were more important things to do today, so Li Chengqian didn't have time to play with his younger siblings.
On the horse-drawn carriage, Hippopotamus Sister had already slipped away first.
Arriving at the Donggong dining hall, Li Chengqian asked Ma Zhangshi: "Has the Director of the Imperial Workshops sent over the steamer?"
"Yes, Your Highness, it was delivered a while ago." Ma Zhang replied.
"Go in."
He arrived at the courtyard where wine was brewed yesterday, Li Chengqian looked at several iron utensils placed in the courtyard and ordered someone: "Pack it up, yes, pack it like I said..."
"The big stove is on fire..."
"Bring out the wine lees..."
"Sister, why are you drinking again?"
"Mind your own business!"
"Cut it out, get the unnecessary people away! Load up the wine lees and cover them well. Light the fire!" Li Chengqian directed all this like a commander.
A group of eunuchs and palace maids revolved around his baton.
"Your Highness, how can this wine lees be steamed?"
"It can." Li Chengqian said without turning his head.
The steam boiler's firepower was too strong, and he got too close, unbearable. Li Chengqian hastily had Lao Long pull him further away.
Ma Zhang followed him and knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he said: "Your Highness, these steamed things usually require a small fire. This wine lees can be steamed, but it can't use too big of a fire."
"Really? Alright, you arrange the fire then!" Li Chengqian handed over the hemp palm food to Zhi Kai.
The flame was soon reduced to a small fire by Ma Zhang's manipulation, and it became a gentle heat. I don't know if this is the right way to steam wine, but let's just try it out first.
Li Chengqian stared at the outlet of the steamer, also didn't know when the wine would come out!
