Xiao Shi, who was at the side, suppressed the urge to reply. He could only purse his lips and silently glance at Gu Yuan. He felt that this guy had come at the wrong time. The moment he arrived, Gu Yuan arrived. He didn’t have time to report his gains from this trip to the Myriad Herb Hall.
“The name of the medicine is especially strange. It’s called green mold powder.” Since Gu Yuan wanted to hand this medicine to Chu Yi, he naturally wouldn’t be ignorant. He had already instructed Wu Tong to ask the Myriad Herb Hall in advance.
“Penicillin.” The next moment, a gentle and deep male voice followed the words of Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan subconsciously looked at the Emperor. His first reaction was to think that the Emperor had heard wrongly, but when he saw the Emperor’s expression clearly, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
The Emperor sitting at the window had his back to the light. His refined facial features were slightly blurry, and his eyes were exceptionally deep. His right hand gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, and the lines on the back of his hand were as tight as iron.
Gu Yuan was a smart person and instantly understood one thing: the Emperor didn’t hear wrongly.
There was silence in the East Warm Pavilion.
Chu Yi lowered his long eyelashes and stared at the powder in the porcelain jar, his eyes deep.
After a moment of silence, Chu Yi looked up at the Emperor by the window and said with certainty, “Emperor Taizu’s Note.”
When Emperor Taizu died, Chu Yi wasn’t even born. He had never seen his wise and mighty great-grandfather.
Regarding the Emperor Taizu, Chu Yi knew some of it from ‘Emperor Taizu’s Living Note’. Some of it was mentioned by the previous Emperor, Imperial Duke Wei, and the others. Most of it was from his father telling him about this as gossip when he was young.
“It’s ‘Emperor Taizu’s Living Note’.” The Emperor nodded in realization.
Time passed quickly. Unknowingly, Emperor Taizu had passed away for 20 years.
Emperor Taizu was the current Emperor’s grandfather. The previous Emperor didn’t like the current Emperor. When the Emperor was young, he followed Emperor Taizu more than the previous Emperor, so his feelings for his grandfather were naturally extraordinary.
In the three years before Emperor Taizu’s death, his dragon body had been deteriorating. The Emperor often attended to Emperor Taizu’s illness. Occasionally, he would hear Emperor Taizu mutter some inexplicable words, saying that he still had many things to do and had even written a few notebooks.
“Thump.”
The Emperor suddenly stood up from his chair and turned around. He looked at the flowers and trees swaying in the spring breeze outside the house and said, “A year before Emperor Taizu passed away, there was once when I was attending to Emperor Taizu’s illness and accidentally knocked over some soup on a notebook. When I wiped it, I only flipped a few pages…”
“The handbook mentioned penicillin. It can treat high fever, tuberculosis, abscesses, and so on caused by traumatic inflammation.”
“What a pity. I only took a cursory glance at it at that time…” The letter was taken back by Emperor Taizu.
At this point, the Emperor’s voice stopped.
The golden sunlight filtered through the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the Emperor’s face. The light and shadow swayed gently, making his expression even more complicated.
There was nostalgia, sadness, helplessness, and the heartless sighs of time.
The year before Emperor Taizu passed away, he was already old and weak, and his condition was getting worse.
During that period of time, the relationship between Emperor Taizu and the late Emperor was very tense. The late Emperor begged Emperor Taizu bitterly for those letters and wanted him to leave the generator and steam engine to him. However, Emperor Taizu said that these things in the letters couldn’t be taken out yet.
The father and son argued several times over this.
Once, after the father and son argued again, Emperor Taizu sent the late Emperor away impatiently. Then, he sighed tiredly at the Emperor.
“Your father is a fool. If 1 leave all this to him, I’m afraid he won’t be able to defend it.”
“If this technology tree is wrong, we can’t start all over again…”
“I don’t have enough time. I really don’t have enough time.. If you can give me
more time, I can even make you my aunt…”
