Chapter 417: Patent Medicine

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gongsun Zhongjing had already calmed down from his initial anxiety and eagerness. Now that he had done everything he could, all that was left was to wait.

Thinking of something, he took out the banknotes from the house and wanted to give them to Rong Yan, but the latter did not accept them.

Xiaoxiao looked at the two young men who were equally quiet and took the initiative to continue. “It’s like this, Doctor Gongsun. We have something to discuss with you.”

Gongsun Zhongjing nodded. “Miss Xiao, please speak.”

Xiaoxiao asked him, “How do you plan to sell this patent medicine? I’ll be more specific. For example, how much does a bottle of medicinal liquid or a bottle of pills cost? How many portions do you sell and how many portions do you make every day? Who will make it? Who will sell it? Where do you plan to sell it?”

Gongsun Zhongjing frowned slightly. He was a medical fanatic and was not good at anything else. “I’m willing to listen to Miss’s opinion.”

Aiya, it was so easy to communicate with him. Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Based on my understanding of Doctor Gongsun, you only want to benefit the people and can’t ask for more peace in the world. You want fewer illnesses and fewer deaths, so you must hope that this patent medicine can help more people, right?”

Gongsun Zhongjing’s heart was warm. He had to have a confidant in his life. What more could he ask for? His expression became even gentler. “Thank you, Miss.”

Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “Sigh, it’s all your thoughts. Why are you thanking me?”

“Since we’re so familiar with each other, I’ll be straightforward.”

“It’s like this. After the patent medicine is released, there will definitely be many people who will be jealous of the benefits. At that time, there will be many people who will look for you openly and secretly to ask for the prescription. Even if you find a sales channel, there will definitely be people who will interfere.”

“If the patent medicine you worked so hard to develop can’t be delivered to the people who need it, not to mention you, even us bystanders will find it a pity.”

“So, if you don’t mind, can you leave the drug sales to us?”

Gongsun Zhongjing did not hesitate at all. He did not even say anything like “consider it”. He immediately said, “Alright.”

This time, it was Xiaoxiao who was surprised. “So straightforward?”

Gongsun Zhongjing revealed a rare smile. “I believe you.”

Rong Yan looked up at him and pursed his lips slightly. He raised his hand to remove a leaf from Xiaoxiao’s hair.

Xiaoxiao had already started to think about the patent medicine and did not notice Rong Yan and Gongsun Zhongjing’s seemingly unintentional gazes.

Gongsun Zhongjing had been busy for many days and his eyes were dark. Xiaoxiao did not disturb him and quickly bade farewell. On the way back, Rong Yan asked her, “Where did the pigeon come from?”

Xiaoxiao chuckled. “Chernan’s messenger pigeon.”

“He probably has a deep grudge against the Crown Prince now.”

He was right. Chernan was flustered and exasperated in the room. “What do you think the Crown Prince of Great Xia means? He doesn’t even give me a definite answer. Didn’t I just want some money from him? What does he mean by not replying?”

“Didn’t they say that the Yan Family is so big that even the Emperor has to give them a face? Why are they so stingy!”

The advisor did not know how to respond. After all, none of them knew that the Crown Prince had already lost his temper at the Luo Prefecture’s dam.

Why did he ask for the hearts of the people? Why did he personally participate in the construction of the dam in order to change the image of the Yan Family in the hearts of the people? Why did he get carried away by Chen Yong’s words, causing him to be in a difficult position now?

In addition to his hard work, he also heard that Rong Yan was in Xijiang County with Chernan. However, as cautious as he was, he naturally wouldn’t leave any evidence behind, so he didn’t plan to contact Chernan at all.

“This Second Prince of Xiongnu is quite smart. He didn’t rashly expose his relationship with me.”

The Crown Prince, who had his attendant massage his shoulders, drank a bowl of bird’s nest porridge and was about to take an afternoon nap when he heard Chen Yong’s loud voice from outside the door. “Your Highness, is His Highness the Crown Prince here?”

Nothing good would come from him coming to look for him! The Crown Prince swallowed the porridge and jumped onto the bed, covering his head.

Outside, the servant explained softly, “Official Chen, His Highness caught a cold last night and didn’t want to pass on the illness to others. He just finished his medicine and laid down.”

Chen Yong nodded repeatedly. “Your Highness is so kind. Rest well for the next few days. Your health is more important.”

The Crown Prince heaved a sigh of relief. He was probably very tired and really fell asleep.

After Chen Yong left, he sent a secret order after patrolling the dam with the adviser. He got people to start promoting the virtues of the Crown Prince everywhere. The more they said, the better.

When Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan returned to the capital, even the citizens of the Imperial Capital were praising the Crown Prince for loving the people like his children. He would definitely become a brilliant ruler in the future. Xiaoxiao smiled gloatingly. “Little Big Brother, your senior brother is really mean.”

Rong Yan smiled without saying anything. He was just taking advantage of the situation.

If the Yan Family wanted to create momentum for the Crown Prince, let them do it. Let’s see how this commotion would end.

One had to know that the emperor was still in his prime and had no intention of abdicating.

As they had expected, the Emperor did not look too good today, especially when he heard that someone was asking for credit for the Crown Prince. If not for Prime Minister Yan’s quick reaction, he did not know how to clean up the mess today.

Xiao Ran did not hide her gloating when she told Xiaoxiao about this.

Gu Chang’an sighed and reminded her to restrain herself in front of the child, but Xiao Ran didn’t care at all.

“The Yan Family and I are irreconcilable to begin with. What’s there to hide? If not for the Yan Family back then, would we have been separated from our daughter for so long? Why would my brothers…”

She clenched her fists. “Although I don’t know who did it this time, as long as it’s against the Yan Family, I’ll agree with it.”

Xiaoxiao understood that Xiao Ran could also tell that someone was deliberately adding fuel to the fire. This was strange. Chen Yong was far away in Luo Prefecture and was really beyond the reach of the Imperial Capital. Even with the help of his colleagues and good friends, he was not this efficient. So who was the one who scammed the Yan Family in the Capital?

Gu Chang’an asked Xiao Ran, “If there’s a mistake…”

Xiao Ran snorted. “Even if there’s no substantial evidence, the Yan Family will definitely be involved. Even if they’re really wronged, they’re unlucky. Anyway, there’s no good person in the entire Yan Family.”

Xiaoxiao thought that her father was going to persuade her, but Gu Chang’an answered, “Yes, I think so too. After all, they’re not wronged.”

Xiao Ran smiled at him. “I knew you were thinking the same thing as me.”

Looking at her gaze, Xiaoxiao felt that if she wasn’t around, her mother might want to kiss her father.

She suddenly felt that she was so bright, so she exchanged glances with Little Big Brother and prepared to give them some private space.

At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly said, “Alright, let’s not talk about those annoying people. Let’s talk about serious matters.”

Then, he pulled Xiaoxiao back. “His Majesty wants the princess appointment ceremony to be held with your coming-of-age ceremony. Come, let’s have a good chat about how to make you outstanding when the time comes.”

Xiaoxiao scratched her head. “Ah, can’t we just have a casual meal?” It sounded so troublesome.

Xiao Ran’s face was fierce. “What nonsense are you talking about? This is your first time officially appearing in the capital.. How can you make do? Speaking of which, I should have held a banquet for you last year, but you didn’t stay long before running to the border…”
