She likes Ye Xingchen because he is bold, straightforward and generous.
However, Bai Yu did not expect that Ye Xingchen would go directly to his father to propose marriage.
At this time, Bai Yu felt that he was trusting someone.
Isn't the ultimate pursuit of a woman's life to find someone worthy of trusting her with her life? Bai Yu felt that he had found it.
At this time, it was time to go to court. The emperor had not gone to court for a long time since he was weak.
The person who replaced him in the morning court was the third prince, because apart from supporting the emperor, the rest of the civil and military officials supported him.
"If you have something to do, go ahead and leave the court if nothing happens." The emperor shouted loudly without any sign of weakness in his voice.
As the emperor's voice fell, Zhao Lei, Minister of War, stepped forward immediately.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Zhao Lei said immediately with a look of resentment in his eyes.
"What's the matter? Tell me." The emperor waved his hand and said immediately.
The third prince, who was standing in the first row of ministers, glanced at the Minister of War with some suspicion. At this moment, even he didn't know what kind of dog-skin plaster Zhao Lei was selling.
It stands to reason that the Minister of War is following his own orders. He should not act like this without receiving his own orders.
"A plague broke out in the northern part of the empire. Most of the people were poisoned by a special poison, causing ulcers all over their bodies." The Minister of War said with a deliberately worried look.
"Keep talking." The emperor quickly motioned for Zhao Lei to continue.
"I heard that there is a student named Ye Xingchen from Tiandou Academy who has superb medical skills. I wonder if I can invite him to prepare an antidote to save them." Zhao Lei said.
At this time, a look of resentment flashed in the third prince's eyes, and he finally understood what Zhao Lei was selling in this gourd.
"Ye Xingchen? How can a student take charge of state affairs?" The emperor refused directly.
The emperor did not want Ye Xingchen to get involved in court affairs. After all, Ye Xingchen still had to concentrate on developing an antidote for himself.
"It's just an antidote, so why not develop it."
Just when Zhao Lei wanted to continue speaking, Ye Xingchen's voice immediately echoed throughout the court.
Then, they saw Ye Xingchen striding up to the court, standing upright like a gun, extremely handsome.
"Oh? Since you are willing to agree, do you dare to issue a military order? If you cannot prepare the antidote, you will commit suicide for deceiving the emperor." Zhao Lei said.
"Okay, but what if I successfully detoxify?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
In the court hall, everyone looked at Ye Xingchen and began to talk about it.
"I heard that Ye Xingchen is a fifth-grade alchemist. He once won the Zhenbao Pavilion Alchemist Competition in one fell swoop."
"No way. Such a young fifth-grade alchemist, no wonder he can temporarily cure the emperor's illness."
"Tsk, tsk, the emperor and the third prince have never dealt with him. The Minister of War is obviously taking this opportunity to get rid of Ye Xingchen."
"A fool can spot such a simple conspiracy, but neither the emperor nor the third prince can be offended."
Facing the whispers of a group of ministers, there was no doubt that they all fell into Ye Xingchen's ears.
"If you successfully detoxify, I will resign as Minister of War." Zhao Lei said in anger.
At this time, Zhao Lei had no choice but to gamble. If he won, he would be able to kill Ye Xingchen without any effort.
The reason why Zhao Lei dared to bet like this was because even the sixth-grade alchemist of the Alchemist Guild was helpless against the poison of the plague.
Ye Xingchen is just a fifth-grade alchemist, and it is almost impossible to detoxify him.
"Okay, then it's a happy decision." Ye Xingchen said lightly.
"Announce the patient to the palace." The emperor said in a domineering voice.
Following the emperor's order, a man wearing a face-covering bamboo hat slowly walked up to the court.
After he walked up, the entire court suddenly smelled of rotting flesh, which was extremely unpleasant.
"The common people bow to the emperor." After the man finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and said.
"Pingsheng." The emperor said immediately.
Ye Xingchen walked up to the man step by step and opened the hat on the man's head with his backhand.
When all the ministers saw the rotten flesh on the man's face, they all started to vomit.
Ye Xingchen's expression was calm. Ye Xingchen, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, was basically immune to this kind of situation.
"The common people are guilty and scared the emperor." The man said quickly.
"Ye Xingchen, do you have the ability to detoxify?" Zhao Lei said confidently.
"Hmph, it's just a poison. What's the problem?" Ye Xingchen smiled confidently.
Later, Ye Xingchen ordered someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, write down the prescription on it, and asked the emperor to order someone to get the medicinal materials.
After getting the medicinal materials, Ye Xingchen began to refine the detoxifying ointment in front of everyone.
All the civil and military officials were dumbfounded as they watched Ye Xingchen skillfully and accurately control the flames to refine the elixir.
"Tsk, tsk, what a terrifying young man. Such skillful operation techniques are really not something that ordinary people can possess."
"As expected of being able to cure the emperor's illness. He has such strength at such a young age."
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Sooner or later, Ye Xingchen will become the supreme powerhouse famous in the mainland."
The civil and military officials looked at Ye Xingchen's alchemy skills and praised him endlessly.
Ye Xingchen is not a three-year-old child. Facing everyone's praise, for him, it is dispensable.
Three hours later, a black ointment came out, and Ye Xingchen ordered someone to apply the ointment on the man's face.
Soon, the ointment took effect, and the rotten flesh on the man's face began to heal, and the entire face was being repaired quickly.
After a stick of incense passed, the originally disgraceful man returned to his original appearance.
"This, this is really a miracle, there is such a magical plaster?!"
"Tsk, tsk, this medical skill is many times better than even the imperial doctors in the palace."
"As expected of someone who has been favored by the emperor. This ability is amazing."
The civil and military officials were a little stunned, and then started to praise him again.
"My benefactor, please save our entire city." The man immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ye Xingchen as he said.
"It doesn't matter, since I can save you, I will save everyone." Ye Xingchen said lightly.
"You should step back first." The emperor said to the man.
The man squirmed and wanted to say something more, but he was afraid of the emperor, so he could only retreat.
"Zhao Lei, what else do you have to say?" the emperor said angrily.
"I have nothing to say. If the emperor believes that there is a more suitable candidate for the post of Minister of War, I am willing to abdicate." Zhao Lei said.
Obviously, Zhao Lei was threatening the emperor with his words, but he seemed to underestimate the emperor's methods.
