Chapter 355 Secretly Researching Medicine

[The host's injuries have not healed, so even if a prescription is prepared, the medicine cannot be ground.]

Li Shuchen wasn't going to listen to that. He crossed his legs and started to argue with the system: "Hey, what are you talking about? My right hand is perfectly fine. I can take care of myself, and I can even wield a stick when I'm not busy. Let alone grinding medicine, that's a piece of cake for me."

【…】

Seeing that the auspicious system remained silent, Li Shuchen shifted his leg and asked, "Little Jizi, have you already prepared the prescription?"

If you've prepared it, give it to me quickly. Once I recover, I'll sell things to earn money for you to absorb energy.

[The prescription has been placed in the system space. Please check it yourself.]

"Good boy, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Li Shuchen grinned happily and quickly opened her system space. Sure enough, there was a roll of paper she had never seen before. She couldn't wait to take it out and open it.

You won't know until you open it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

The roll of paper was longer than her, and the densely packed names of medicines made her dizzy. It would take her forever to finish it.

"Little Jizi, are you sure you didn't put it in the wrong place?"

This system never makes a mistake.

Hey hey hey, it's become so awesome!

"Then why is this recipe so long? It's almost longer than my lifespan!"

[The host's requirements are too high; this is already the optimal formula, and there is no better way.]

Li Shuchen thought for a moment, then silently rolled up the prescription. It was right; the medicine had to look like leprosy, yet the imperial physician couldn't detect it, and it couldn't have any adverse side effects. It was indeed difficult, and he couldn't blame Xiao Jizi.

I need to take a break.

"Thank you. You should get some rest. I'll call you again when I've made some money."

Princess Changning placed the coconut milk jam cake on the table and asked Grape in a low voice, "Has Li Shuchen not woken up yet?"

Grape: "Reporting to Princess Changning, Miss has not yet awakened."

Princess Changning glanced at the bed, walked over, and muttered as she pulled the blanket over herself.

"Even injured, he wouldn't behave; his legs were propped up high, and the blanket fell to the bottom of the sea."

"You talk badly about me to my face, aren't you afraid I'll beat you up if I find out?"

Li Shuchen opened his eyes and looked at Princess Changning with a smile.

Princess Changning realized what was happening, immediately dropped the blanket she was holding, touched Li Shuchen's face, and her expression was a mixture of crying and laughing.

"That's great, you're still the same Li Shuchen, you haven't changed."

Li Shuchen sat up: "Why would I change? My arm was just badly injured, it wasn't like I bumped my head."

Princess Changning grinned and said, "I was just worried about you. I bought your favorite coconut milk jam cake. Get up and try it."

"it is good"

Li Shuchen rolled out of bed, went to the table, picked up a warm pastry, and put it in her mouth.

"Mmm~, it still tastes the same, so delicious."

"Look at what you're eating, have some tea to soothe your palate."

Princess Changning poured a cup of tea for Li Shuchen, who took it and drank it all in one gulp. He then ate the pastries with great relish.

"Grape, hurry to the kitchen and bring breakfast. Your young lady is starving."

"Yes, Princess Changning."

When the food was served, Princess Changning filled Li Shuchen's bowl to the brim and handed her a spoon.

"Can you eat this yourself?"

Li Shuchen: "Of course I can. Not only can I feed myself, I can also make medicine for you."

Princess Changning was taken aback upon hearing this: "Making medicine? You've figured out a formula?"

Li Shuchen nodded confidently: "Of course, I'm the most powerful person in the world. A small pill is nothing to me."

Upon hearing this, Princess Changning's tears nearly fell: "Li Shuchen, you've only been awake for two days, you don't need to risk your life for me like this."

Upon realizing that Princess Changning had misunderstood, Li Shuchen immediately explained, "I didn't overwork myself. I just remembered something I read about in an ancient book. Don't worry."

Princess Changning: "I don't care, I won't allow you to make medicine for me so early. There's still a month until my birthday banquet, there's plenty of time. You can rest for a few more days, or I'll cry for you."

After she finished speaking, two tears actually fell.

Li Shuchen quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, alright? Stop crying and have a proper meal with me."

"Um"

Princess Changning nodded, sobbing, and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

After their meal, the two went to the courtyard and lay down on rocking chairs to bask in the sun.

Li Shuchen pointed to the fringe tree he had planted and said, "Changning, look! The fringe tree I planted is almost reaching the roof beam. It's very beautiful when it blooms; there's only one like it in the whole capital."

Princess Changning looked in the direction Li Shuchen was pointing and said, "This tree grows very fast. Every time I come, it changes its appearance. It's a bit different from the other trees."

Li Shuchen proudly raised his chin: "I watered it carefully, of course it grew fast. I'll call you to come see it when it blooms."

Princess Changning: "Okay."

Chatting and laughing, making a lot of noise, time passed quickly.

That evening, after Princess Changning left...

Li Shuchen took out a shallow, wide, bowl-shaped vessel with a long, spherical handle at one end and placed it on the stone slab.

Grape immediately understood and said, "Princess Changning forbids Miss from making medicine."

Li Shuchen, without even looking up, replied, "Do you think I should do whatever she says? I'm not listening to her. Quickly, bring me my medicine."

"Yes, miss"

Grape brought the medicine, and Li Shuchen opened the medicine packet, picked out a few herbs, and put them into the mortar and pestle.

She had checked; several of the medicines in her prescription were the same as those in Xiao Jizi's prescription.

That's perfect, she'll work on these things first tonight.

"Bouncing, bouncing, bouncing"

"dong dong dong"

"Deng deng deng"

Li Shuchen used his right hand to hold the pestle and pound hard, finally managing to break the pills into smaller pieces, far from being powder.

Grinding medicine is really hard work!

"Grind the grapes, Miss, please rest for a while."

"This pestle is heavy; Grape, who has never practiced martial arts, can't lift it. I can do it. Just pour me a bowl of tea."

"it is good"

Li Shuchen gulped down a bowl of tea, then picked up the pestle and began grinding vigorously.

"Li Shuchen, were you grinding medicine behind my back?"

Princess Changning's voice came from outside, and Li Shuchen quickly put down his things and went out of the house.

Looking at Princess Changning on the wall, she said, "I broke the bed while sleeping on it, so I'm smashing the bed legs. I'm going to sleep now, you should go to sleep early too."

Princess Changning: "This bed is so expensive, yet it's so fragile. I'll buy you a better one tomorrow."

Li Shuchen quickly waved his hand: "No need, Changning, the bed is still new. It's just a minor problem, nothing serious. Besides, I've already grown attached to this bed, so it's perfect. There's no need to change it."

Princess Changning nodded helplessly: "Alright then, go to sleep once you've fixed it. You need to sleep more to recover properly."

Li Shuchen nodded with a smile: "I understand, you should go and rest."

Princess Changning descended the ladder

Li Shuchen breathed a sigh of relief, went back inside and continued smashing, grinding the mixture into fine particles in a circular motion.

The grinding noise was low, and it did not disturb Princess Changning.

I was busy until midnight before I finally ground the pills into powder, carefully brushed them into a porcelain bottle, and sealed it tightly with a cork.

He then went to the desk, picked up a brush and wrote down more than a dozen medicinal herbs, handing them to Grape.

"Tomorrow, go to Linglong and get these medicines. If anyone asks, just say you got them for me. Don't let the prescription be revealed to anyone."

Grape took the prescription and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Miss, Grape understands."
