Translator: 549690339
Imperial physician Liu was shocked. my Lord, please look into this matter. The Imperial Academy of Medicine has always been clean and upright.
As he was speaking, a female official took out a remaining leaf from Zhao Zishan’s sleeve and handed it to the inventory officer, “”Your Excellency, please take a look!”
The latter’s eyes swept across the room, and his expression turned cold. it’s indeed the yunluo sacred leaf. Only the stem is left!
There were only two places where the yunluo sacred leaf could be found!
The White cloud City!
Imperial Academy of Medicine’s Royal medicinal ingredient warehouse!
It was impossible for a mere assistant to obtain the yunluo sacred leaf from the White cloud City.
The only possibility was that he had stolen it from the Royal herb vault!
What?
Imperial physician Liu and the others were shocked.
There were three yunluo sacred leaves in the Royal medicinal herb room.
It could only be taken out when the monarch needed it.
It was easy to imagine where Zhao Zishan’s remaining joke came from!
“My Lord, I’m innocent! This is a high-quality imitation!” Zhao Zishan stared blankly for a moment, then finally understood that the trouble was caused by the leaf stem that he had not had time to identify.
“How dare you!” The female official rebuked coldly. You’re caught red-handed and still dare to quibble!”
How could Zhao Zishan plead guilty?
He immediately defended himself, ” my Lord, it’s absolutely true. This is a high-quality imitation that a country bumpkin gave to my sister. If you don’t believe me, you can check it on the spot. I swear on my life that it’s not the real thing!
He spoke with such conviction, but the female official did not waver in the slightest.
Since she was sent here to take inventory of the medicinal herbs, she naturally knew all kinds of medicinal herbs like the back of her hand.
Especially for precious medicinal herbs, he would not be mistaken.
However, this was a matter of great importance, so she did not dare to be too arbitrary.
“You want to test it? Alright, I’ll make you give up!” The female official waved her hand and someone sent a basin of well-prepared clear liquid.
It looked like water, but it was very dense, like a basin of oil.
only the liquid of the yunluo sacred leaf will form a special color when it drops into this water. The female official squeezed the stem of the leaf with her fingers and squeezed out a drop of clear and crisp liquid.
After the liquid fell into the water, it didn’t sink, but continued to spread.
The clear water in the basin quickly turned dark blue.
The look in Imperial physician Liu’s eyes changed.
This was indeed a special color that could only be detected by the liquid of the yunluo sacred leaf.
Zhao Zishan had really stolen a yunluo sacred leaf.
If that was the case, he was really too bold!
Wasn’t he afraid of his family being exterminated?
“Men, take him away!” The female official’s eyes were cold.
If he dared to touch this thing, she couldn’t even cover up for him.
“I’m innocent! This really is a fake yunluo sacred leaf!” Zhao Zishan was still crying out for his innocence.
Wasn’t that so?
What status did Xia qingchen have to be able to give out the yunluo sacred leaf?
This was definitely fake!
“Stubborn! Slap his mouth!” The female official turned around and rebuked.
A female official stepped forward and gave Zhao Zishan a tight slap, causing him to shut up immediately.
Zhao Zishan immediately threw a pleading look at Imperial physician Liu.
“My Lord, why don’t we check the Royal medicinal herb chamber first before we make a decision?” the latter cupped his fists and said.
The female official thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The group immediately headed to the Royal medicinal herb chamber.
In the end, the three yunluo sacred leaves were all intact.
It was neither stolen nor damaged.
Only then did the female official realize that she had wrongly accused him and had even slapped him in the face for nothing.
Of course, she would never apologize.
Especially to a small Imperial physician’s assistant.
“Since it’s a misunderstanding, let him go.” The female official waved her hand. After a casual inspection, she swaggered away.
There was no intention of compensation at all.
In her eyes, Zhao Zishan was just a dispensable nobody.
She had already hit him, what else could she do?
Zhao Zishan covered his mouth and sent the other party off respectfully.
“Lord Liu, what did I do wrong? did I offend that female official?” It’s clearly a fake yunluo sacred leaf, but you insist it’s real and deliberately embarrass me. ”
“Zishan, can you tell me if you’ve met with a benefactor recently?” Imperial physician Liu’s face darkened.
Zhao Zishan’s face was full of confusion, “no!” However, there’s a beggar who’s staying in my house.”
“This is strange!” Imperial physician Liu thought for a moment and said,”only a noble person could casually give your sister a real yunluo sacred leaf.”
Uh
“Lord Liu, didn’t I say that it was a fake yunluo sacred leaf?” Zhao Zishan was stunned.
To his surprise, Imperial physician Liu looked at him in disappointment. “You!
If you don’t understand, then learn more and ask more. Don’t speak arbitrarily.
Wasn’t the lesson you just learned enough?”
It was precisely because Zhao Zishan was blindly shouting that he was slapped.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Zhao Zishan had not learned his lesson.
“Ah! ‘This … Is this for real?” Zhao Zishan said in shock.
He took it for granted that the female official was deliberately making things difficult for him.
“Can it be fake?” “I knew it when I took out the stem,” Imperial physician Liu said, “it’s definitely authentic!” But you still keep saying that it’s a high-quality imitation. How can lady official not be angry?”
a slap on your face is a light punishment. If it were those ruthless female officials, they would have chopped you up on the spot for your unguilty attitude. No one would plead for you! Imperial physician Liu lectured. Zhao Zishan’s entire body trembled, and he muttered, “”lt shouldn’t be!”
Where did Xia qingchen get the yunluo sacred leaf from?
How could he be willing to give it to his sister?
Imperial physician Liu, to tell you the truth, this yunluo sacred leaf was a gift from a distant relative of mine to my sister. With his status, he shouldn’t even be able to afford a leaf stem! Zhao Zishan voiced his doubts.
Imperial physician Liu muttered, ” recently, the White cloud City has been pillaged by bandits. It is said that ten yunluo sacred leaves were lost. Perhaps he found one by accident.
Obtained from the chaos?
Didn’t that mean that he had to steal?
Zhao Zishan was both contemptuous and annoyed.
“He really isn’t a good person!” Zhao Zishan said hatefully.
He had actually caused him to be humiliated and had been slapped for no reason!
In truth, what he hated the most was that Xia qingchen had only given it to his younger sister and not him!
He, Xia qingchen, ate and lived in the Zhao Manor.
In the end, there was something good that he was hiding!
He didn’t get any benefits, but instead, he was filled with a stomach full of grievances.
Such thoughts were truly laughable.
Both father and son treated Xia qingchen as a beggar and weren’t willing to speak much to him during the meal.
Why did Xia qingchen still have to gift the precious yunluo sacred leaf to him?
“Forget it, since this matter is already in the past, let’s not pursue it anymore.” Imperial physician Liu paused for a moment and his expression softened, “”My disappointing eldest son has some free time recently and would like to discuss his marriage with your sister.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zishan immediately burst with joy and said, “”Alright, I’ll get ready immediately.”
Two days later.
In the room, Xia qingchen slowly stood up. Streams of Qi currents appeared on the surface of his body, contracting and circulating rapidly with him as the center.
“Mixed Yuan undying body!” come! he shouted and sucked the teapot over.
In the end, the teapot crashed into the air current on the surface of his body and was instantly crushed into powder!
After two days of hard work, he had finally completed the first form of the origin convergence Qi!
At this point, his suppressed cultivation had finally recovered.
He slowly stopped and thought, ‘it would be great if someone could spar with me on the spot. I can test the power of the indestructible origin body..’
