For this matter, even the Eldest Princess Fengyang was alarmed.
When she heard that the penicillin written in Emperor Taizu’s handwritten letter had actually appeared, Feng Yang couldn’t help but go to the legendary Myriad Herb Hall.
In just 10 days, everyone in the capital knew about the Myriad Herb Hall. Even passersby would take a few curious glances.
Feng Yang looked up at the signboard with the words “Myriad Herb Hall” written in gold and walked in.
The front hall was very empty. On one wall was a row of medicine cabinets that stretched straight to the roof. The air was filled with a thick medicinal fragrance, mixed with the smell of wormwood.
This medical hall was quite bright. At a glance, it was spotless.
“Old Madam, are you here to seek medical treatment?” The shop assistant with a mask on his face greeted her with a smile. He sized up the old woman in front of him and said, “If you want to see external injuries, look at Doctor Wan. If you have a cold and a headache, you can look at the internal medicine department. We also have a medical woman here who is good at gynecology and pediatrics.”
Feng Yang was wearing an ordinary green dress today. Her white hair was tied into a simple bun, and she only had a jade hairpin as jewelry.
At first glance, she was an ordinary old woman.
Feng Yang shook her head and looked at the white mask on the waiter’s face.
The proposal to have healthcare workers wear masks was also put forward by Emperor Taizu. He suggested that wearing masks covering the mouth and nose could help prevent the spread of contagious diseases such as colds and coughs. He also ordered the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau to oversee all medical clinics and pharmacies throughout the empire.
Unfortunately, after Emperor Taizu passed away, the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau no longer pursued these rules. Gradually, there were no more medical centers or pharmacies that adhered to them.
The shopkeeper sized up Feng Yang again. From her bearing and the emerald jade hairpin on her head, she could tell that she should be an old lady from a wealthy family. Her smile widened, and she wondered if an old lady from a wealthy businessman’s family had heard of the reputation of the Myriad Herb Hall and came to join in the fun.
“Old Madam, have you heard of our Myriad Herb Hall’s penicillin?” The waiter greeted Feng Yang warmly. “That’s divine medicine for treating external injuries. It’s better to buy a portion and be prepared.”
“I heard about your unique secret recipe, so I came to take a look.” Feng Yang continued to walk in and sized up the middle-aged doctor sitting inside. She asked casually, “Who’s your boss?”
During this period of time, there was no shortage of people who came to ask about their boss. The waiter was already used to dealing with such questions. He replied with a smile, “To be honest, I don’t know either.”
“I heard from our Doctor Wan that he was originally from Yuzhou. He fled to the capital and was accidentally saved by our boss. Doctor Wan was grateful and stayed in the capital to serve the boss.”
“Old Madam, to be honest, even the Ministry of War has come to our place to buy penicillin. Think about it. If even the imperial court dares to use medicine, is that miracle medicine?”
The waiter spoke excitedly, but Feng Yang was a little distracted. What the other party said was similar to what the Embroidered Uniform Guards had investigated.
However, Feng Yang kept feeling inexplicably out of place. She looked around again. This bright and clean medical hall was actually nothing special.
“Give me a can,” Feng Yang said calmly.
When the waiter heard this, her eyes lit up, and she replied enthusiastically, “Alright!”
He knew that she was an old lady from a rich family. Could an ordinary family casually take out 10 taels of silver?!
Feng Yang was sent out of the Myriad Herb Hall by a passionate waiter. The princess’s manor’s carriage was waiting outside.
She was about to get into the carriage when she suddenly stopped. She saw two familiar figures in a tea shop diagonally across the street.
Two slender figures, one blue and one purple, were intimately whispering into each other’s ears. One was lively, valiant, and the other was lazy, bright, and energetic. The colors around her seemed to brighten.
Wasn’t this Jiaoniang of the Wei family and… the little girl from the Gu family who was a little strange?!
Feng Yang raised her eyebrows and stopped in place.
The female guard beside her was about to help her into the carriage. When she saw this, she called out softly, “Master?” She thought that something was wrong.
Feng Yang raised her hand and gestured for them to leave first. She walked alone towards the tea shop diagonally opposite. A few 10 feet away, she heard Wei Jiaoniang’s clear laughter.
The girl’s good mood couldn’t be hidden. It was extremely infectious, causing the corners of Feng Yang’s lips to curl up..
