Chapter 431 Men’s Dignity

After Emperor Jingming discussed with the imperial physicians, ministers and others, several instructions were immediately implemented. The first was to find out the source of the Fu Shou cream, whether it was discovered accidentally or someone deliberately spread it to Daning.

The second is to find a place to set up the drug rehabilitation center that Shu Xiaoxiao mentioned. The things that need to be prepared and the doctors with excellent medical skills all need to be in place immediately; the third is to count the people who have used Fu Shou Gao as soon as possible, tell them the dangers of Fu Shou Gao, and immediately take them to the drug rehabilitation center to quit their drug addiction.

The fourth is to immediately investigate where the longevity cream appears and confiscate all of it to ensure that there is no drug circulation in the entire Daning.

There were also some civil and military officials who knew the information the next day. Even many ministers in the court had smoked the longevity cream, but nothing happened to them. If they were poisoned, they would have suffered a long time ago. It felt that the emperor was mobilizing a lot of troops, but the longevity cream was just a thing to increase pleasure, so how could it be so serious?

But those who have seen the onset of drug addiction and the side effects of Fu Shou Gao were so scared that their legs went limp, not to mention objecting, because their sons at home seemed to have mentioned this Fu Shou Gao to them, and they had all taken it. If it was anything else, it would be fine, but it still didn't make them pregnant, infertile! This........ must be investigated, it must be investigated!

Because the harm caused by drugs is so serious, the first people to be checked are the ministers in the court, and all drug addicts are sent to the newly established drug rehabilitation centers.

Fortunately, in the beginning, the Fu Shou Gao was sold to the high-end market, and those who could afford it were people with some wealth. Although many wealthy families in Kyoto fell victim to it, it had not yet spread to ordinary families. Also, because everyone had witnessed the pain of the poison with their own eyes, there was no room for them to crack down on the Fu Shou Gao.

Those who have used Fu Shou Gao in their family almost hate Fu Shou Gao. After all, if they don't stop it, their family will be extinct! Extinct family, it sounds chilling!

Fortunately, the time that the Fu Shou cream flowed into Daning was not long, and it was mainly concentrated in Kyoto. Although it was also found in other places, it was not as serious as in Kyoto. In fact, because many people were not aware of its effects, they were somewhat indifferent at first. But after knowing the dangers, they actively cooperated and did not dare to be careless at all.

Because they discovered it in time, the losses were within controllable range.

As for those who were addicted to opium and were locked up in drug rehabilitation centers, they originally felt embarrassed, after all, they were indeed in a mess when the attack occurred. But who can blame them for the fact that there were so many people addicted? Some of them could not stand the pain of detoxification, and many wanted to give up. After all, they were all from well-off families, and who had ever experienced such pain?

But the word "infertility" stimulated these people and forced them to persevere. After all, if someone is infertile, they have to hide it. If others find out, they will be laughed at. Especially men, no one wants to be labeled as infertile, and it is well known that this is no different from impotence. Men's dignity, hearing these two words, they have to persevere no matter how difficult it is.

As for those who are older, the word "short life" is a concern. Young people don't feel so strongly about short life and shortened lifespan, but the older people are afraid that they may pass away at any time, so don't they have to take care of their bodies?

So everyone went from not being able to believe it to feeling like their life was worse than death to finally encouraging each other. People became more united with each other, and as a result, this drug rehabilitation was very successful.

The sales of tonic medicine in Kyoto are particularly good recently. After all, even if you quit drugs, your vitality will be severely damaged, so you must nourish your body. Many people lose a lot of weight after quitting their drug addiction, which is better than losing weight.

And those who are a little weak and even stagger when walking after quitting drugs, don’t they need to replenish their body?

Many people came to Shu Xiaoxiao to ask for medicine. After all, her ability in collecting and making medicine was well known to everyone. Naturally, there were many gifts from people who came to ask for medicine. They had all suffered unexpected disasters, so Shu Xiaoxiao was not stingy with the gifts. She added some diluted ginseng water to the tonics she gave them. It was mild and non-irritating, and the effect was particularly good.

Even Doctor Zhang praised it highly and admitted that he could not make a pill with such perfect effect. Moreover, the tonic made by Shu Xiaoxiao was especially suitable for people who were weak after quitting drug addiction. With Doctor Zhang's promotion, more people came to ask for medicine.

Even Shu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that she could make a fortune from this. Of course, her reputation for pharmaceutical manufacturing became even more famous.

In order to protect her reputation from being exposed, Shu Xiaoxiao asked Shenbao for a few jars of ginseng water. Now, for some reason, Shenbao was obsessed with cultivation and turned a deaf ear to the outside world, focusing only on cultivation, which made Shu Xiaoxiao feel uncomfortable disturbing him sometimes.

After all, when it comes to working hard to make progress, no matter who you are, it's hard to fall behind.

Fortunately, Shenbao's bath water is now more effective. Just soaking in it can double the effect of before or even better. If it is diluted, the effect will be even better. Shu Xiaoxiao said a few words of concern but did not disturb Shenbao's practice.

The various longevity creams collected were soaked in water and buried in the soil according to Shu Xiaoxiao's method. Although there may be some fish that slip through the net during this drug rehabilitation, those who know the severity of the drug and have experienced it will probably not touch it again. Even those who sell longevity creams are scared.

Anyway, Shu Xiaoxiao has already said hello to the plants around her. If she sees someone taking longevity cream again, she can ignore it. Just tell her where the longevity cream is. She has collected all the longevity creams. Let's see how they can take them. When they quit, they won't be as safe and secure as in the drug rehabilitation center.

Because opium was so harmful, Emperor Jingming directly explained the disadvantages of Fu Shou Gao to the people, and stipulated that the people of Daning were not allowed to grow opium privately in the future. The amount for medical use was to be grown by a special person, and no one was allowed to buy it separately unless the doctor needed it for medicine. There were also strict requirements on the quantity to be purchased. Anyone who grew or sold opium in large quantities would be charged with treason.

Those who know the harm of this thing basically agree that no one disagrees. After all, if it only harms the body it would be fine, but it does not cause infertility!

In this dynasty where the three unfilial acts are to have no offspring, who would dare to take such a risk! Knowing that it could cause infertility, they were more afraid than the emperor that this thing would spread.

In so many brothels, besides the customers, there are also the mothers and some of the prominent courtesans who take drugs to varying degrees, and they suffer less when they are trying to quit. Although they are not punished for this, they probably don't have the courage to touch this kind of thing again.

Even because most of the masters and young masters in Kyoto were too weak to stay at home to recuperate, even if the brothel reopened, the business was very bleak. Thinking of the complicated expressions of those people when they mentioned the brothel, Shu Xiaoxiao felt that it might take a long time for the brothel to return to its former bustle.

As for the source of the Fu Shou cream, it seems to be related to the Great Xia Kingdom, but this has nothing to do with Shu Xiaoxiao, and the opium issue has come to an end for her.

She felt that as her new boyfriend's eyes became more and more passionate and his actions became more and more "aggressive", Shu Xiaoxiao felt that she could reveal her identity. After all, her mother was anxious to arrange a marriage for her!

Now that she has a partner, she doesn't object to engagement.

Besides, since they are in love, she can’t keep it a secret from her senior brother forever. That’s not good!

So early in the morning, Shu Xiaoxiao asked Zhenzhu to find all the women's clothes and jewelry that her mother had given her before, which she had also prepared in advance.

"Young Miss, can we just go and meet Master Yun like this?" Zhenzhu looked at Shu Xiaoxiao who was dressing herself up enthusiastically early in the morning and felt a little confused.

Young... Didn't the young lady say that men are the most untrustworthy? Why do you suddenly want to reveal your identity to Prince Yun?

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the exquisite light green clothes on her body, and thought of the increasingly passionate Yun Qinghan, and felt a little shy: "Yes, I want to confess to my senior brother today. That senior brother likes... me. No matter what, I must confess my identity to my senior brother. After all, I can't let him always think that the person he likes is a young master!"

pearl:..............

This is indeed a problem.

A white complexion can hide three kinds of ugliness. Shu Xiaoxiao not only has fair skin, but is also not ugly. Now that she is dressed up, she is even more eye-catching.

Shu Xiaoxiao touched the exquisite hair accessories and delicate dress on her head, and happily ordered: "Zhenzhu, go and invite Brother to Yongle Marquis Mansion and tell him that I have a surprise for him."

Pearl: “Yes!”

Unfortunately, when Zhenzhu arrived at the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion, Yun Qinghan had just entered the palace.

Thinking of her young lady's expectant look, Zhenzhu could only ask the guards of Marquis Dingbei's Mansion to tell Prince Yun that when he came back, Marquis Ye wanted to invite him to visit.

Zhenzhu is also an acquaintance of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, and her relationship with fellow apprentice Yun Qinghan is well known to everyone, so the guards naturally would not refuse.

royal palace, royal study

"Qinghan, the Fushou Cream incident has been thoroughly investigated and is indeed related to Daxia. Daxia has always been ambitious and wants to annex other countries. This may just be the beginning, but we can't just sit there and wait for death."

Unifying the world is the goal of every emperor. They cannot say that Daxia did something wrong. They can only say that since Daxia has taken action, they must naturally fight back.

"Your Majesty is right. I am willing to rush to the border to defend my country for you, expand the territory, and conquer Daxia." Yun Qinghan's face was solemn.

emperor:..............

"Although attacking Daxia is in my plan, your lifelong event is also very important. I have ordered to prepare food and weapons. When everything is ready, we will attack Daxia. Now I hope you can get married during this time, so that I can rest assured. Now I will personally order the marriage of the girl I like."

In fact, preparing food and grass is one aspect, and the other is that he discovered that Daxia was not only spreading the longevity cream in Daning, but also in Tianlang Country. He didn't pay attention to it before, but now that he paid attention, he naturally discovered it.

The people of Tianlang are tough and have strong fighting power, but they are not as prosperous as Daning. Although the longevity cream has flowed into Tianlang Country, it has not spread very quickly.

But this thing is not afraid of difficulties at the beginning, because it is addictive. If it is not stopped, it will surely spread quickly. Emperor Jingming plans to give the Tianlang Kingdom a warning at the right time. By then, no matter whether the fisherman benefits from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam, or they join forces, Daxia will be in danger.

"By the way, has Qinghan seen the girl from the general's family? I heard that she is not only beautiful, but also intelligent. A rare good girl. How about I arrange a marriage for you?" Emperor Jingming was in a good mood when he thought about the two getting married.

Yun Qinghan frowned, and thinking of his junior brother who had a mutual understanding with him, a sweet feeling arose in his heart. He said directly: "Uncle, Qinghan already has a loved one, and does not... want to get married." After saying this, he looked at Emperor Jingming with a firm attitude.

When Emperor Jingming heard Yun Qinghan say that he had a loved one, he was first happy, then felt regretful. However, it was a good thing for his nephew to have a loved one. As for Fuxing, he would choose a husband with good character for her when the time came.

"Since you have a girl you like, that's a good thing. Whose girl is she? I will issue an order to grant her marriage right now. Oh, that's not right. Since you have someone you love, why are you still unwilling to marry? Is it because of some problem with the girl's identity?"

Emperor Jingming was puzzled. Qinghan was the only prince of the Dingbei Marquisate after all. If the woman's status was really low, it would be the same to marry her as a concubine.

Unfortunately, his uncle said that he was not allowed to interfere in Fuxing's marriage and that everything should be left to nature. Otherwise, he would have arranged the marriage for the two of them early, and Qinghan would not have found a lover. And since Qinghan already had a lover, Fuxing might not be willing to marry Qinghan.

Yun Qinghan bowed his head and confessed honestly: "Uncle, Qinghan doesn't like women, but... men."

Emperor Jingming put down the red brush in his hand and said in disbelief: "Qinghan, who did you say you liked just now? Uncle is old, didn't you hear clearly just now?"

Yun Qinghan:................

Good boy! No wonder he suddenly called me uncle.

But if she likes men, then she likes men, as long as it doesn't delay her getting married. Emperor Jingming doesn't care. It's not uncommon for men to like men. At most, she can keep a few male favorites after getting married. As long as she is not the kind who only likes men and only wants one man, it's fine.

"Even if you like men, you still need.............."

Wait, although she likes men, Qinghan doesn’t seem to have any men who are particularly close to her.

"Qinghan, tell me honestly, who is the man you like?" Emperor Jingming asked seriously.

The reason why Yun Qinghan was frank, besides not wanting to get married, was because he was brought up by Emperor Jingming since he was a child, and the relationship between them could be said to be like that of father and son. He hoped to gain the approval of Emperor Jingming, and as long as Emperor Jingming could agree, his parents would not object. He also didn't want his junior brother to be with him in secret, so he at least needed the emperor's approval.

Yun Qinghan: "I...Chen...I like my junior brother, but uncle, she doesn't know I like her yet. She has always treated me as her senior brother. Uncle agreed, I will go to her to express my feelings, she still doesn't know anything yet."
