Chapter 93
Episode 93. From restorative medicine to elixir (1)
“Clerk Hyeono Gaekjan said that there was an urgent patient and requested a visit.”
“If the patient is in an emergency, ask them to rent a carriage and come inside the palace.”
“All right.”
The painter asked for a house visit, but he vehemently refused.
Of course, someday I will have to leave the palace, but at least until I leave, I intend to save myself in the palace.
When the misinformation went out, Bun-ah came back with a basket full of rats.
“I’ve been looking for the rat you mentioned, Senator.”
“great job.”
The fireman put the rats one by one in a small basket and began to feed them little by little.
Bun-ah tilted her head at the amount the painter was doing.
“What are you feeding the rats, Senator?”
“Yeah, I’m on medication.”
“W Medicine? Why are you giving the rat medicine?”
The painter did not stop giving him medicine even when he saw Bun-ah.
“I am collecting data, or data, on what effect the elixir has on you.”
“ah! do you do that too? Aren’t they precious medicines?”
“It’s not that precious. It’s normal stuff, but I’ve improved it to fit the mouse.”
“That’s right. Is that even possible?”
“It’s the first time I’ve tried it, so the medicine I’ve given you may not have much effect.”
Even at the fireman’s words, Bun-ah made a puzzled expression as if he didn’t understand.
The painter looked at Bun-ah’s face and continued talking.
“Famous cooks think of what kind of dish to make before serving it to guests. And in my head, I predict what the taste will be like when the ingredients are mixed. This is similar to that, and I am experimenting with mice to see if the effect I predicted comes out or not.”
“ah! Then, if the rats are effective, then you are selling the food, or the elixir.”
“No, not for sale. You and I will eat.”
“Are you not selling?”
“Each person has a different body. So you have to take the medicine that suits you and the medicine that suits Bo Bo’s body. Of course, I will take the medicine that suits me. So I can tailor and make elixirs for each person, but I can’t make and sell elixirs.”
“Then, if someone in need of the elixir appears later, we can tailor it and sell it.”
“It could be, but it wouldn’t have to be.”
“why? Do you think you can make a lot of money doing that?”
“You could make a lot of money, but if you’re unlucky, you could be dragged into a cave somewhere and make elixirs for the rest of your life until you die of old age. So this should be a secret only you and Bo know.”
“That’s right.”
“The world is very scary. So always watch your mouth and no matter what I do, go outside and never say anything. Did you see the brother-in-law talking about what I was doing outside?”
“I didn’t see it.”
“You should too.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
The painter stroked Bun-ah’s head and looked at the rats again.
After a long time passed, a dead mouse came out, and the blood vessels were cut by cutting the limbs of the mouse with a knife.
“Take this and practice suturing.”
“yes.”
Bun-ah accepted the mice given by the fireman and went to a corner of the inn to light several lanterns.
Even though it was a bright day, I needed such a bright light when practicing suturing.
“Mr. Hwabu.”
While the painter was looking at the rat, which looked much more lively in contrast to the dead rat, several nines entered the banquet hall.
“yes.”
The painter had a slightly puzzled look on his face as they were not the usual Nines from Hyeonbi’s residence.
“Cheongbi Mama wants to see you for a while, so please come.”
“Cheongbimama? All right. I need to change my clothes, so please wait a moment.”
“yes.”
The painter tilted his head as he changed his clothes.
‘If it’s Cheongbi, he’s a married man from Sogajang, a loser in the Yeonam region…’
Sogajang was also a family of founding contributors to a defeated country, and was a family with similar power to Gogajang.
‘Come to think of it, Cheongbi Mama also doesn’t have a child yet. I have to behave well…’
I could guess why Cheongbi was calling her.
These days, Sang Jin-gyu only took Hyeonbi’s sleeping quarters and ate lunch only with Hyeonbi. When he showed such a change, there was no way other wives would not have sought the cause.
‘ha! I didn’t want to do it because I thought it would be like this… If a woman has a grudge, there will be an uproar if she misbehaves by saying that there will be frost in May.’
The fireman’s evaluation was complicated the whole time he went to Cheongbi’s residence.
‘Still, should I put off my pretense?’
* * *
Cheongbi was actually a person who was overjoyed when Hyeonbi was judged to be a psychiatrist.
Cheongbi was the second wife of Sang and Hyeonbi was the third wife. The second person, Hyeonbi, was unable to conceive, but the third person, Hyeonbi, was conceived.
For her, the news of her infertility was the coolness of her 10-year-old congestion, and when she heard the news that she had drank poison later, she was overjoyed.
However, Hyeonbi was saved by a lawmaker named Hwabu, and now Sang Jin-gyu made it so that he could not get out of Hyeonbi’s skirt width.
There was a rumor that the scent of dozens of flowers gathered every night in Hyeonbijeon spread, and they even checked it by fertilizing it.
The first place the scent spread was the Yeoncheong Gaeksa where the painter stayed.
Of course, I had no choice but to notice that the source of the slander was the painter.
‘If I get slander, I’ll be able to wrap the statue around the width of my skirt like that bitch.’
“They say that Mama Hwabu is coming.”
“Okay, then go ahead and get ready.”
“yes.”
The fertility guards of Cheongbi moved busily to prepare a table that was as good as Sura-sang.
“Meeting Mama Cheongbi, the fireman of conviction.”
“Oh, as I have heard, you are a tall hairdresser. Come and sit down.”
“How dare I be sick with Mama? Please take my orders.”
“Since my husband won’t treat me sick, you should be sick too.”
“I can’t handle Mama’s orders.”
“…..”
Cheongbi looked at the painter who kept refusing with a strange expression and nodded.
“I am not an idiot who takes whatever is given to me. Clean up the table.”
“Yes Mama.”
As the concubines removed the rich table, the fireman swallowed dry saliva.
‘Damn, even this woman can’t be touched. Why are all the women here so strong?’
I only waved my tail at Sang Jin-gyu, but I realized once again that everyone else was a person who didn’t care.
“I have something urgent to say to the fireman, so you all go outside.”
“Yes Mama.”
When all the guards left and closed the door, Chungbi licked his lips lightly.
“I heard that your medical skills are so excellent that the poets bow their heads?”
“It is overrated. I’m just lucky…”
“There’s nothing to be humble about because you know everything.
The painter closed his mouth when Cheongbi cut off his words.
“Did you know that the Sang only goes to the Hyeonbi’s residence every night these days?”
“yes? I don’t know the small person well.”
“Is that so? But I think I know this, but lately, the house of Hyeonbi smells like a combination of dozens of flowers. Do you know that?”
The painter swallowed dry saliva while watching Cheongbi, who was very straightforward.
“Although I prescribed decoction for Hyeonbi’s mama…”
“You can give it to me too. Then I will grant you one wish.”
Cheongbi interrupted the painter again.
“Mama Mama. Everyone’s constitution is different, so the prescription cannot be the same.”
“Then I guess I can make a prescription that suits me.”
“It is not an easy drug to make. It takes a lot of time and can be counterproductive if you fail.”
“Are you saying you don’t want to build for Hyeonbi and then for me?”
In an instant, the sage’s expression changed to a cold one.
The painter was momentarily conflicted.
Even though he is protected by Gogajang or Hyeonbi, it is equally difficult to be safe if Cheongbi harbors a grudge.
‘Damn, what kind of disgrace is this for getting into a fight with women?’
Whoa~.
The fireman let out a long sigh. Then, she stretched out her waist, which had been cringing until just now, and met Cheongbi’s eyes.
Let’s finish acting now.
“If you want to slander me, please first tell me what Blue Lady can do for me.”
It meant to stop whining and bullying like a child. When the fireman’s tone and demeanor changed, Cheongbi widened her eyes as if slightly surprised.
“It is interesting. In the end, there is slander, but are you saying you checked whether or not to reduce it?”
“It’s not necessarily like that, but wouldn’t this be able to make me hate Hyeonbi Mama?”
“Well, of course it could be. don’t understand So tell me what you want.”
“There are things you should know first.”
“…..”
“Hyeonbimama is already using the slander, so I can’t expect a better effect by giving her a new slander.”
“Is it the same effect?”
“It’s a similar effect, and I can’t guarantee which of the two of you will be loved by His Highness.”
“Are you saying I’m inferior to Hyeonbi?”
“no. In my opinion, Mama is more beautiful. But the important thing is not my eyes, but Your Highness’s heart.”
“Hohoho… if it’s slander like that, I won’t be inferior to Hyeonbi, so there’s nothing for you to worry about.”
“All right. Then, I will make a slander for Cheongbi Mama.”
“It’s nice to be cool. So, will I grant your wish now? What do you want?”
“Your Highness has a lot of rain. Perhaps, if another rain finds me, I have no choice but to prescribe the same words and the same slander again. So please don’t make any more slander after this time.”
“good night. I will do that for you.”
The fireman’s eyes widened at the too quick reply.
“Is it possible? Yeonbi Mama, the head office manager, is here.”
“Yeonbi says that he has power, but if Hyunbi and I join forces, there is nothing we can’t do. Even though I’m not on good terms with the Hyeonbi, I’ll secretly join forces to get slander.”
The fireman’s eyes widened even more.
‘Women are truly unknown beings.’
“All right. And if Hyeonbi Mama finds out that I slandered Cheongbi Mama… I’m afraid she’ll take the blame.”
“I will meet Hyunbi with your situation in mind.”
“thank you.”
“Is that all you want?”
“yes.”
The fireman wanted more, but deliberately kept quiet. Giving something because the other person was grateful was better than receiving it because they asked for it.
Cheongbi continued with a wide smile on her lips.
“Not only are they excellent in medicine, but they are also excellent in their way of life. He is a very coveted talent.”
“It’s too much praise.”
“Why don’t you come to me instead of sticking to Hyeonbi? I will treat you so as not to upset you.”
“I am just a doctor who treats patients, not either side. When Hyeonbimama conceives and gives birth safely, I will leave the palace.”
“If you leave the palace, you can come to Yeo Nam-hyeon.”
Yeonam-hyeon was the place where Cheongbi’s head family Sogajang was located.
“I plan to go back to Chohyeon and take care of my elderly mother and treat patients.”
“Oh… you’re not shaking at all like this? I don’t know if the wick is straight or the head is dull.”
“Your head is dull.”
“If I did, I wouldn’t be greedy. I got it anyway If you are thinking of changing your place of residence in the future, come to Yeo Nam-hyeon anytime.”
“Yes Mama.”
“Now get me drunk and make a slander.”
When Cheongbi held out her hand, the painter shrugged.
“Then I will commit rudeness.”
Actually, the fireman didn’t need to check the pulse, but he did, and after showing a worried expression for a while, came out of Cheongbi’s quarters.
