Li Xiyue read the letter up and down several times, trying to find something other than the superficial content in the letter. No, it was just a bunch of nonsense saying hello and reminders. The letter itself might even be a test.

, there isn’t even anything useful in it.

Butterfly Lovers? Romeo and Juliet? Titanic and the Red Mansion?

Li Xiyue's brain was a little hard to use. She knew about Butterfly Lovers, she had heard of Romeo and Juliet, she had an impression of Titanic, and Red Mansions refers to Dream of Red Mansions.

But what do they have in common?

Is there a common denominator here that can indicate her ending?

Is there something that I can't say directly or use a clearer hint? Doesn't it make me look illiterate when you write like this?

Who of my generation has read Butterfly Lovers, Romeo and Juliet, isn’t it a love story, Titanic is the ship, Dream of Red Mansions is Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, I know whether these are good or not.

Li Xiyue couldn't understand it, but she was smart enough. She was destined to be a lover, and God did not want what she wanted. These two sentences together did not sound like good words. Does that mean that Li Xiyue and the emperor might not have any good results?

Li Xiyue was shocked as soon as this idea appeared. Is it her fault or both of them? What will happen next?

Li Xiyue felt a little worried and scared. She threw the letter aside and looked at the other things in the box. The jewelry looked expensive, but Li Xiyue didn't care at all at this time. She hurriedly picked up the booklet in her hand and started reading.

"Homemade method of making penicillin...????"

Li Xiyue could understand the content on the cover. She also knew what penicillin was. It was one of the commonly used cold medicines and was used to reduce inflammation. However, she did not understand what other uses it had until she opened the cover and saw the first line of words.

Penicillin is a miracle drug that can cure epidemic diseases, fever, coughs, ulcers, and suppuration of wounds. If you have penicillin, you will be given a gold medal for immunity from death.

She may not understand other things, but Li Xiyue, who has the gold medal to avoid death, will definitely understand.

There is a lot of content in the booklet, which describes in detail the role that penicillin can play in ancient times. For example, wound treatment can be better used in the military. In ancient times, there was no such thing as anti-inflammatory drugs, and countless soldiers were injured on the battlefield.

In the absence of effective antibacterial drugs, it is extremely susceptible to infection, suppuration, gangrene and other complications that often ensue, causing many soldiers to have their limbs amputated or even die. However, penicillin can greatly solve this problem and maintain the military's combat capability.

It is also effective in dealing with acute infectious diseases, such as cholera.

In short, there is nothing wrong with penicillin being called a miracle drug in this era, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying it is a gold medal that avoids death.

The content in the later booklet is the detailed process of making penicillin by local methods. As long as you read it carefully, even if you don't know how to do it before, but follow the content in the booklet step by step, you will definitely be able to produce penicillin.

Not only penicillin, but also allicin, berberine, artemisinin, and anesthetics are included.

"My benefactor!" Li Xiyue hugged the book tightly in her arms and murmured in a low voice: "Good man, I don't know whether you are a handsome boy or a beautiful girl, but I, Li Xiyue, have written down this kindness and will repay it twice as much in the future. Here is

The easiest one seems to be allicin, let’s try this first.”

Li Xiyue read the entire brochure carefully, and directly chose allicin and berberine, which are the easiest to make now, through comparison, and planned to try first to see if she could make them according to the contents in the brochure.

As for what she needed, Li Xiyue thought it was easy to do it. She knew very well that now she was the emperor's concubine, a woman kept by the most noble man in the Ming Dynasty, so she couldn't get anything she wanted.

In the evening, Zhou Yu and Concubine Hang were having dinner in the palace.

There are also high-strength wines and brewing tools.”

Zhou Yu nodded and waved his hand gently to let Xing'an leave.

Concubine Hang glanced at Zhou Yu and said, "The emperor must eat and drink enough before he has the strength to handle state affairs."

Zhou Yu chuckled and gave Concubine Hang a piece of meat: "I know that Concubine Hang has been working hard these days."

"I'm not working hard, I just feel sorry for you when I see the emperor working hard for state affairs every day. There are so many concubines that I can't do anything, so I can only rest and take care of the emperor. The empress doesn't have much to do.

There will be no trouble even if there are no concubines."

"It's hard work for the imperial concubine. Guarding three boys every day is tiring. I grew up as a child, so how could I not be clear about it? Even if I look at it as a palace maid, I have to hold it carefully in the palm of my hand, holding three of them at once.

It’s not an easy thing either.”

Looking at Zhou Yu's warm smile, Concubine Hang pursed her lips slightly and said, "I am not in trouble, I am willing to do anything for the sake of the emperor."

"Okay, I know what you're thinking." Zhou Yu put down his chopsticks, patted Concubine Hang's hand, and said, "Let's eat."

"Yes." Concubine Hang nodded lightly, and ate with Zhou Yu and whispered: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has been canonized for a few days. I don't know when the emperor will call Concubine Xian to sleep with her. Everyone inside and outside the palace has already

Rumors began to spread that the emperor didn't like the concubine Xian and only conferred her on her to save the old concubine's face."

"People in this palace just talk a lot." Zhou Yu shook his head and asked, "Don't you dislike her? Why did you speak for her again today?"

"When did I say that I don't like virtuous concubines?" Concubine Hang said angrily: "Your Majesty, as long as they are the emperor's concubines, I don't like anyone. I also hope that they can quickly continue to produce children for the emperor."

"Yeah." Zhou Yu nodded lightly and said, "Let's talk about it when we have time."

"Your Majesty." Concubine Hang said sweetly: "There is still room for sleeping, otherwise I would send someone to inform Concubine Xian to get ready at night."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If I didn't know who you are, I would really think that you were bribed." Zhou Yu looked at Concubine Hang helplessly, shook his head and said, "I

I have my own plan."

Concubine Hang looked at Zhou Yu and didn't say much on this issue. She just said, "Your Majesty, there are people inside and outside the palace saying that the Emperor would rather pamper a woman outside than touch a virtuous concubine..."

Zhou Yu paused for a moment, squinted his eyes and nodded slightly: "I will pay attention to it, that's all. I will go see Concubine Xian later to avoid those gossips."

After eating, Zhou Yu came out of Qingning Palace. Xing'an quickly followed and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's warm in the sedan chair."

"Let's go." Zhou Yu waved his hand and walked in front, saying, "What's going on with Concubine Xian these days?"

"The Concubine Xian stays in her palace every day without any problems, either reading books or practicing calligraphy or painting. There are not many people in the palace who are quiet every day."

Zhou Yu nodded: "Who has been to the palace?"

Xing'an said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine's decree is that there are many things going on in the palace and no outsiders are allowed to enter the harem. Now no one can enter the palace. Even the Li family asked someone to pass some words and wrote two letters.

The letter was sent to the Yongshou Palace, and the rest was gone. Your Majesty, the Li family was very anxious knowing that the Emperor had never favored the Concubine Xian. They were worried every day and held the old concubine even more in their hands."

"Ha." Zhou Yu laughed, but there was a bit of disdain in the laughter: "Now I know that they are afraid, and what they did is right. But who knew that the world would change so quickly, but at first I saw that the Bao Sect was interested in Li Xiangning.

I still remember that I want to give the person to Baozong, this Li family is not very honest."

Xing'an gestured to his neck: "Your Majesty, do the Li family want it?"

Zhou Yu said: "No need for the time being. After all, the old concubine is still here. I can't forget that the old concubine is kind to me. You go and make arrangements to send some gifts to the old concubine. Ask the old concubine if she is living in the Li family."

Shu Xin, I will take her back to the palace and be filial to her. This virtuous concubine and the Li family will be of some use to me for the time being."

"The common people don't know, but there are veterans from the previous dynasty in this palace who know that I liked Concubine Xian at the beginning, and they also know that I begged the Demon Queen to let Concubine Xian be my princess but was rejected. This is what the Li family also wanted to do.

In order to obtain greater wealth, it was naturally right to bet too much when the Baozong was still in power, but now that I am in power, what they did before was wrong."

"Do you think that if they find that the Li family can no longer achieve greater wealth, will they think about bringing order back to the Baozong?"

"I have given the title of Concubine Xian as an appeasement to the Li family, but not being favored is also an alienation from the Li family. This is equivalent to holding the Li family up to prevent them from being bribed easily by a meager gift. I want to bribe them.

The Li family must use more gifts and greater etiquette. It is the most uncomfortable to be neither better nor worse, and the decision made in the most difficult and uncomfortable situation is the most desperate.

"

"And the position of queen is also a temptation. The reason why I don't make a queen is because I want to establish a virtuous person, but it is also a bait for fishing."

Xing'an lowered his head and did not dare to speak. On the contrary, Zhou Yu seemed to be interested and continued: "Go and find out which family among the generals and nobles has girls of the right age to be married, preferably those eighteen

The above-mentioned daughters who have not yet been engaged, especially the Duke of Dingguo, after checking it out, asked the concubine to hold a banquet and invite these noble daughters to enjoy the Spring Garden together."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu stopped, glanced at Xing'an and said, "What do you think?"

Xing'an was a little confused: "I don't know."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Enlighten it well. If you realize it, I will reward you."

Xing'an rubbed his head and followed Zhou Yu to the Yongshou Palace. Outside the palace gate, he shouted loudly: "The Emperor is here!"

Although it was already getting late, it was not yet time to fall asleep. When they heard that the emperor arrived at the Yongshou Palace, everyone put down what they were doing and hurriedly came over and knelt in the courtyard to greet Zhou Yu. Concubine Xian also came from the room.

He walked out and saluted Zhou Yu.

"I respectfully welcome the Emperor. May the Emperor live long life."

"It's cold outside, come inside." Zhou Yu glanced at Concubine Xian and went straight into the house. Concubine Xian got up after Zhou Yu came in and followed her into the room. Xing'an gave a few instructions and stood outside the door.

Begin to understand.

In fact, what is there to understand? Xing'an didn't understand that Zhou Yu was going to use the position of the queen as bait to let a group of noble daughters into the palace, but Xing'an didn't understand that these nobles were really so easy to take the bait? What if this foreign relative was allowed to take the bait?

Wouldn't it become more troublesome as we get bigger?

Xing'an thought about many things in these aspects and couldn't understand them. He didn't know if there was a deeper meaning in them, but he understood what Zhou Yu asked him to do.

In the room, Zhou Yu sat down on the fragrant warm couch and looked at Li Xiangning, who was standing in front of him with a calm expression: "You are still used to coming to Yongshou Palace. If you are missing something, tell me and I will have someone bring it to you.

.”

"I'm not used to anything." Li Xiangning shook her head gently and said, "The imperial concubine takes great care of me. She also doubled all the expenses and sent them to me. There's nothing missing. It's just that the emperor came suddenly.

I didn’t make any preparations, so I asked the emperor to forgive me.”

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you afraid of me?"

Li Xiangning looked at Zhou Yu and said calmly: "I am naturally afraid. There is no one in the world who is not afraid of the emperor."

"Ha." Zhou Yu suddenly smiled and relaxed the atmosphere a little, and said, "Come, play chess with me."

Li Xiangning nodded and took out the chess pieces from the chessboard and placed them on the warm couch. She also got on the warm couch and sat across from Zhou Yu. She looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Which of your Majesty will you choose black or white?"

Zhou Yu said with a pun: "I am naturally a black man, no one can walk in front of me."

"Your Majesty, please."
