Chapter 162 Rescue
This scene not only caused a change in Ye Ru's expression, but also caused a drastic change in Hua Mufeng's expression.
They never expected that such a subtle change would happen to a scholar who had passed the imperial examination!
"How could this be possible!"
Magistrate Zhang took a deep breath, his mind exhausted, and he coughed up blood and fainted. This kind of thing was most likely to happen to Ye Ru, who only had the rank of a scholar.
"Hmm, this medicine is mild, but I observe that this scholar is thin at the top and large at the bottom, with a narrow forehead and large cheekbones. He is an easily agitated person, belonging to the 'hard' type. The two clash in terms of talent and thought, which is why this happened."
"However, given the current situation, if no one recites the scriptures of the saints, this medicine will likely be destroyed!"
Hua Mufeng looked solemn and then said in a deep voice, which made Ye Ru and Pang Jun's expressions change.
If this medicine is destroyed, then there will truly be no way to save the old scholar Chen.
Therefore, we cannot afford to fail here!
The hearts of those around him gradually sank. The remaining people's thoughts and talents paled in comparison, let alone their ability to fill Song Feng's position.
"What should we do now? The fate of the late Scholar Chen is unknown, and now there are unexpected changes. What should we do?"
Magistrate Zhang addressed Registrar Wen and the others, whose faces were all somewhat pale.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Ru glanced at the fallen Song Feng, a ruthless and decisive look appearing on his face:
"Sir, please continue. I'll take over the position of Jinshi Song!"
"Give it to you? Even if I did, you wouldn't be able to read it without a photocopy of the Compendium of Materia Medica, so you wouldn't be able to impart any medicinal properties to those herbs!"
Hua Mufeng's expression changed, and then he shouted.
As Ye Ru finished speaking, everyone looked at him with disbelief.
"What a joke! Isn't this playing with Chen Jinshi's life? The medical classics are often millions of words long, and this is done without any books. It's harder than climbing to heaven!"
Fang Zifeng sternly rebuked him.
"The Compendium of Materia Medica consists of 52 volumes, containing 1,892 kinds of drugs, including 374 new drugs. It also collects 11,096 medical prescriptions and 11,096 formulas, totaling about 1.9 million words, divided into 16 parts and 60 categories. I wonder if what I have said can be considered proof that I have this ability."
Ye Ru said anxiously.
Upon hearing Ye Ru's words, everyone gasped in shock, their faces filled with astonishment. They hadn't expected that Ye Ru would not only be proficient in the classics of the sages, but also so thoroughly understand such obscure medical classics.
"If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. Trust me!"
Seeing that the longevity fruit's medicinal power was showing signs of weakening, Ye Ru shouted.
Magistrate Zhang and the others also gaped in astonishment. They believed in miracles and that Ye Ru could create one, but this was no joke. First, he needed to memorize the entire "Compendium of Materia Medica," and second, he needed to possess great intellectual and intellectual prowess.
But now that the die is cast, there's no turning back.
"Mr. Hua, let's begin."
"The Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) must help!"
Ye Ru closed his eyes, murmured to himself, and then began to chant:
"Anger causes qi to flow in reverse, joy causes qi to dissipate, grief causes qi to dissipate, fear causes qi to descend, fright causes qi to become disordered, overwork causes qi to be depleted, excessive thinking causes qi to stagnate, mental exertion causes qi to leak out, and cold causes qi to be drawn in..."
As Ye Ru recited the classics of the saints, beams of green light emanated from his mouth and eventually disappeared into the dozens of medicinal herbs.
Hua Mufeng saw the medicinal herbs disappearing slowly, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he began to chant again.
The room was very quiet. Pang Jun, Magistrate Zhang, and the others had very complicated expressions. Everyone clenched their fists and focused their gaze on Ye Ru. Chen Sijun's life was entirely in Ye Ru's hands.
About an hour later, the medicinal herbs had completely fused into the longevity fruit, turning it completely green. At the same time, an extremely rich medicinal aroma emanated from it, and Hua Mufeng waved his sleeve, grasping it in his hand.
"S-succeeded?"
Magistrate Zhang and the others stared at the emerald green longevity fruit, their faces filled with deep shock.
"call."
Ye Ru's face was pale, but his gaze was fixed on the longevity fruit, and his tense heart finally relaxed.
The next moment, a feeling of exhaustion surged into his mind, causing his vision to go black and his body to collapse limply.
"Finally... we succeeded..."
Before losing consciousness, Ye Ru felt a bitter laugh, and then there was no more sound.
……
When Ye Ru woke up from his coma, he found himself lying on an antique-style bed.
A fragrant aroma wafted into the room, and a young girl entered carrying a bowl of water.
"Chief Ye, the master instructed me to take care of you."
The girl was about eighteen years old, petite, and her large robes could not hide her budding figure.
At this moment, her fair face was slightly shy, but her eyes showed some admiration. Clearly, she had seen the list of successful candidates and the honor of Ye Ru being ranked first.
For them, Ye Ru was undoubtedly the ideal man and prince charming they were looking for. Although his face was somewhat ordinary, he was full of unique charm.
"Well, men and women shouldn't touch each other, I'll do these things."
Feeling a little embarrassed by the intense gaze, Ye Ru then spoke.
"OK then……"
The girl's eyes dimmed, and she stood obediently to the side. Ye Ru then said:
"How is Scholar Chen doing?"
"I heard that after eating that fruit, Chen Jinshi recovered a lot. Chen Jinshi is really pitiful. He put all his heart into this Four Mirrors and Three Bright Hall, and he never married in his life, only having an adopted son."
The girl sighed, full of regret.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru fell silent for a moment, then said to the girl:
"I'm going to see Scholar Chen."
"How is Scholar Chen doing?"
After turning a few corners, Ye Ru pushed open the door and saw Hua Mufeng taking Chen Jinshi's pulse. When they heard Ye Ru speak, everyone turned around.
"Is Chief Secretary Ye alright?"
"Yes, everything's alright. How is Scholar Chen?"
Ye Ru asked again.
"This old scholar Chen ate the longevity fruit, and his life is temporarily saved. If he obtains the rank of Jinshi again, he will live for another twenty years. This can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Hua Mufeng smiled and said.
"It's good that everything is alright. I will not forget my promise to you, sir. I will write down my thoughts when I get back."
"Haha, Scholar Chen is kind, and you are loyal to Scholar Chen, how can I not believe it? Since that's the case, I'll stay at your residence for a while. Chief Scholar Ye won't refuse, will he?"
Hua Mufeng wrote down a prescription for recuperation and then spoke to Ye Ru.
"I can't ask for it."
Ye Ru nodded, and after Chen Jinshi was truly alright, Ye Ru and the others headed towards the Ye residence.
