Chapter 57: Chapter 51 Ji Xun_4
Ji Xun asked, "Is there a problem with the finished dicine?"
Lou Si choked for a mont, then replied, "Of course! When I sent their family’s dicinal tea back for review, I found the dicinal properties chaotic, the materials inconsistent; indeed, it is not suitable for patients to consu."
Ji Xun nodded.
Lou Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief and, with righteous indignation, said to the junior pharmacist, "Since I have verified that the dicinal tea is not genuine, I have dealt with it impartially. Tell them to go back, and do not co begging for rcy again!"
"But... but..." the junior pharmacist found it sowhat difficult.
"But what?"
"But that girl is accompanied by people from the Dong Family of the Minister of Imperial Treasury."
The Dong Family?
Lou Si got choked up.
The pharmacy departnt is under the Minister of Imperial Treasury, but when did Renxin dical Hall have a relationship with the Dong Family? Lou Si sneaked a glance at Ji Xun, who was silent, and felt a tangle of chaos in his heart.
Ji Xun was an Imperial Physician at the Hanlin dical Institute, a favorite in front of the Emperor, known for his noble and unworldly temperant. It’s unheard of for him to be easily flattered. By comparison, the pharmacy often has to deal with the Minister of Imperial Treasury, and since they see each other often, there will be many more days of interaction; the Dong Family cannot be offended.
Only Ji Xun was here...
Lou Si looked at Ji Xun and feigned impatience towards the junior pharmacist, saying, "Doctor Ji is here right now, whatever it is can wait until later..."
His intention was to hint that Ji Xun should leave, but upon hearing this, the man gave him a glance and said calmly, "It doesn’t matter, I will be behind the screen. You, Magistrate Lou, may speak with them at your leisure." With that, he walked behind the screen in the pharmacy, concealing his figure.
Lou Si was montarily stunned, then clenched his teeth internally, realizing the man was clearly here to watch over him.
However, he also feared that delaying too long would irritate the people from the Dong Family. Considering that the Dong Family was their backer, he assud a Resident Doctor from Renxin dical Hall would not dare to be too arrogant, so he said to the junior pharmacist, "If that’s the case, let them in."
The junior pharmacist hurried out, and before long, brought back several people.
The two n Lou Si recognized, one was Old Master Du’s precious darling, the famously incompetent Du Changqing. The other was a tall man dressed as a guard, nad Sheng Quan, a protector frequently seen at Lady Dong’s side.
In between the two n stood a young lady with an unfamiliar face.
Her features were captivating, dressed in a plain white gown, with an air of simplicity like the scent of the dicinal herbs in the pharmacy, standing there like a fairy brought to life in a painting. Lou Si had vaguely heard that the Resident Doctor of Renxin dical Hall was a woman, and suspicion arose in his heart—could this be the female Doctor? Yet she appeared unexpectedly young and beautiful.
Before he could speak, the woman took the initiative, saying, "I am the Resident Doctor of Renxin dical Hall. The prescription from ’Chun Shui Sheng’ was written by my hand. I dare ask Magistrate Lou, why suddenly prohibit the sale of Renxin dical Hall’s dicinal tea?"
After collecting his thoughts, Lou Si intended to say a few comforting words on account of the Dong Family, but suddenly rembered Ji Xun was still behind the screen. Naturally, he could not take all the bla upon himself, and so, after coughing, he said sternly, "It is because the dicinal tea of Renxin dical Hall is inconsistent with pharmacological principles."
"Lying!" Du Changqing couldn’t help but curse, "It was clearly approved when I previously submitted the prescription, so why are you suddenly saying it’s not okay? It’s obvious you’ve taken benefits from soone else, deliberately making things difficult for us!"
Lou Si sneered, "Young Master Du, you can’t say that. The identification of dical prescriptions indeed takes ti, and I am rely speaking the truth."
Lu Tong, hearing this, nodded and calmly spoke, "Since Magistrate Lou insists that Chun Shui Sheng is inconsistent with pharmacological principles, I dare ask Magistrate Lou, what exactly is inconsistent? Which of the dicinal herbs are unsuitable? Are their dicinal properties incompatible, or is the dosage too potent? Or is there a slight toxicity among the ingredients, and which part of which dical text defines this?"
"I am but a simple woman," she slowly said, "Please enlighten , Magistrate."
