Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1451 - 1098: Tonics Medicine for Male Vitality
So, after finishing dinner, Gu Changsheng began to bustle around furiously!
Isn’t she staying at the City Lord’s Mansion?
Isn’t everything convenient to get?
Anyway, it’s not out of her pocket, Gu Changsheng felt that this kind of typical freeloading lifestyle actually suited her quite well!
In this aspect, one has to say, Gu Changsheng’s skin is thicker than Borjigin Nian’s!
Borjigin Nian was turned away by the Northern Mongolian and stayed in Linyuan City, temporarily staying at the City Lord’s Mansion, at least managing to be somewhat self-sufficient, if you ignore she was using Yue Xilou’s money!
But Gu Changsheng is different!
Gu Changsheng directly grabbed that same Little Palace Maid Ling Xi who had once served her, and started giving orders!
"Things like deer antler! Ginseng! Tiger whip and so on, Ling Xi, get me anything that’s a big tonic, remember, it must be superior!" Gu Changsheng rattled off a list of tonics, pushing an astonished Ling Xi to quickly prepare them.
Ling Xi was completely flustered by Gu Changsheng, and as the personal maid of Shi Wujue, even though her martial arts weren’t top-notch, she knew a bit about medicinal herbs. So as she was pushed along, Ling Xi was bewildered, "Your Majesty the Southern Emperor, why do you need such strong tonics? Is your body... well, you’re a woman, using these strong medications might not be good, perhaps you should switch to milder supplements?"
"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng slapped her forehead and said with a sudden realization, "Ling Xi, I’m so glad you mentioned it, I really hadn’t thought that medications should be different for men and women! My reputation as the Medicine God nearly fell on this point! Whatever, bring me a set of medicine for women too!"
"Ah?" Ling Xi exclaimed again, looking at Gu Changsheng with a face full of suspicion and surprise, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty the Southern Emperor, is your body really..."
Weak?
Logically, it shouldn’t be!
Usually, it’s men who tend to be weak!
Women being so weak that they need medication is rare, how weak must they be?
"Put away that look! I’m not weak!" Gu Changsheng was watched by Ling Xi until every pore on her body stood on end, so she quickly shook her head and waved her hands to explain.
Heavens, she wasn’t weak at all!
Besides her on her bed, there was only her shadow. Even if she wanted to be weak, she couldn’t show it, could she?
This really is...
Fortunately, Ling Xi would think about this!
What kind of brain is this!
"Uh..." Ling Xi hesitated.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Gu Changsheng urged. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Ling Xi, feeling helpless, could only go off with a face full of confusion to get the things Gu Changsheng wanted!
It didn’t take long before everyone at the City Lord’s Mansion knew about Gu Changsheng asking for a bunch of tonics!
No wonder, since Gu Changsheng specifically asked for superior herbs?
Within the City Lord’s Mansion, the superior herbs were all kept in the storage, wanting to take them meant needing to report to Shi Wujue first!
Sure enough, it was no surprise that Shi Wujue, who didn’t understand why Gu Changsheng suddenly needed so many tonics, was driven by curiosity, shook a small folding fan and followed Ling Xi to watch the spectacle!
If Shi Wujue could get the news, Zhou Mu naturally was no exception!
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Mu frowned and thought for a while, not understanding what medicine Gu Changsheng was selling in her gourd, so he also joined in!
So, the guest room where Gu Changsheng was staying turned into a sight at the City Lord’s Mansion!
Looking around, almost everyone at the City Lord’s Mansion with some status was there, except for Gu Taitian who stayed behind closed doors!
Borjigin Nian holding a plump baby, accompanied by the other three little melon babies, alongside Shi Wujue and Zhou Mu, stood in the hall of Gu Changsheng’s guest room, being repeatedly driven away by Gu Changsheng, leaving the space for her antics!
Small medicine furnace, medicine pestle, chopping board for cutting medicinal herbs, pill furnace for pill refining...
One must say, little palace maid Ling Xi’s ability to handle things was top-notch!
Anything Gu Changsheng wanted was quickly prepared!
So everyone, looking at what soon seemed like a pharmacy in the hall and then at the woman buried in a pile of herbs, busily working away, suddenly felt an illusion...
Actually, were they not in a guest room of the City Lord’s Mansion, but in a pharmacy right?
This room full of herbal aroma, the complete setup...
This was clearly a pharmacy!
Of course, you had to ignore the identity of the person busily working among them!
The Southern Emperor!
The dignified Southern Country’s Southern Emperor Changsheng, doing pill refining and medicinal preparation, was as professional as possible, like an outright female doctor!
"Oh heavens! My heart aches so much!"
While cutting herbs, Gu Changsheng exclaimed in a heart-wrenching manner, calling to the heavens and lamenting.
Her expression was as though someone was slicing her flesh...
"Extravagant! Too extravagant! Truly too extravagant! This is a thousand-year-old ginseng! Just wasted like this! My heart, oh it hurts so much!"
"Oh heavens! Such a fine tiger whip! Just squandered like this! Heartache! Heartache to the point I can’t breathe!"
"Oh no, this horny goat weed, gone! Gone!"
"This deer antler..."
"This Yangqi stone..."
"..."
"..."
With every batch of herbs she processed, Gu Changsheng was heartbroken...
Her reaction got everyone present feeling anxious, but no matter how they asked, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t reveal what she was doing...
Still, even for those there who weren’t doctors, some herbs are known for what they’re used for!
For example, strengthening Yang?
Gu Changsheng, busy with pill refining, didn’t care much, but the onlookers were precious!
Seeing that Gu Changsheng wouldn’t be done anytime soon, none of them wanted to leave with unresolved curiosity, so Shi Wujue waved his hand, and palace maids brought chairs and benches over, even setting up seeds and dried fruit in front of them...
Some people work hard, like Gu Changsheng!
And some are just pampered, like this crowd enjoying the show!
When Gu Changsheng noticed the row of people behind her cracking seeds while watching her work, her mouth twitched fiercely several times.
Geez, such a bunch of bored souls!
Nothing better to do than watch her refine medicine for fun?
Don’t even think about how smelling the medicine so much might leave you too excited to sleep later!
Hmph!
With a cold snort, Gu Changsheng decided to ignore them and focus on her work!
From after dinner until midnight, the onlookers cracked through countless plates of seeds, Gu Changsheng finally looked at the small porcelain vials before her, satisfied, clapped her hands, and announced she was done!
"Gu Changsheng, what is this you’ve made?" Borjigin Nian was the first to ask.
"Medicine!" Do you even need to ask? Idiot! Gu Changsheng looked at her hard-earned result from a whole night of work and rolled her eyes.
"Of course, I know it’s medicine, but what’s it for?" Borjigin Nian continued to ask.
Truth be told, Borjigin Nian’s question was exactly the curiosity everyone there had.
To make Gu Changsheng go through so much trouble and labor, personally refining medicine all night!
What exactly was it for?
"Nian, are you stupid? This medicine is obviously for use!" Gu Changsheng gave Borjigin Nian an eye as if looking at an idiot, then with pride, she showcased her work to everyone, pointing at the vials in front of her, saying proudly, "Tonics Medicine! As the name suggests, you get it? Produced by Gu Changsheng, guaranteed top-quality, anyone willing to try? Guaranteed effective, absolutely superior!"
Upon hearing this, everyone simultaneously twitched their mouths!
Tonics... Medicine?
What does it supplement?
Needn’t ask! Obvious it’s a set of Yang-strengthening tonics!
"Shi Wujue, seeing you enjoy your nights of revelry, how could you go without these bedroom companions, want to try a bottle? Free of charge!" Seeing no one responded, Gu Changsheng picked up one porcelain vial and extended it towards Shi Wujue, coaxing him.
Upon hearing this, Shi Wujue’s previously awe-inspiring face froze; this woman! This woman!
She actually doubts his capability in that area!
How outrageous...
And talking about free giveaways!
The raw materials for these medicines were clearly snuck out from his own warehouse, okay?
The audacity she has to say that!
"Not necessary! The City Lord doesn’t need these things! But Zhou over there, maybe you do?" Shi Wujue, his face darkened, looked at Zhou Mu sitting beside him, determined to drag him into it!
Hmph!
He doesn’t need any Yang boosting; if needed, it’s this man who’s more show than substance!
"I..." Zhou Mu heard and immediately frowned, wanting to speak.
"Even if he wants it, I wouldn’t give it to him! Hmph!" But before Zhou Mu could utter a word, Gu Changsheng interjected coldly.
Darn, she’s the kind to hold grudges, she vividly remembers she is still on cold war with this evildoer!
Won’t pay him any attention!
Absolutely won’t pay him any attention!
After he left her halfway up the mountain to feed mosquitoes, if she forgives him, she’d be a fool!
"Nian, want to try? There’s one for women as well!" Turning, Gu Changsheng ignored Zhou Mu, tempting Borjigin Nian instead.
"Get lost!" Borjigin Nian rejected without hesitation.
Don’t think she doesn’t know what’s inside these vials!
No need to look, definitely not anything good!
"Hmph! A bunch of ungrateful ones! Do you know this medicine’s value? Worth ten thousand gold, you get it? You all dare reject me! Let me tell you, when you really need it, begging old me to make it for you, I won’t even acknowledge you!" Gu Changsheng curled her lips, showing a "you have eyes but don’t recognize Gold-inlaid Jade" expression, then looked at the vials, and let out another bout of exaggerated groans...
