The Peasant Wife Is a Lucky Charm

Chapter 311: Confirmed to Be Fake

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Zhenzhen used two bottles of fragrant powder and a bottle of special seasoning to finally convince the Emperor.

She wanted him to believe that the claims of that woman from the Jiang family couldn’t be trusted. She was not a woman with a special physique, and the fragrance on her body was merely the result of the fragrance powder she concocted. Her culinary skills appeared superior because she had added “Immortal Pill” to her seasonings.

Once the Empress Dowager obtained Qin Zhenzhen’s fragrance powder and formula, she would surely bring them to Imperial Physician Yang for immediate testing.

Imperial Physician Yang’s evaluation confirmed Qin Zhenzhen’s claims. He stated, “Miss Qin’s formula combination is flawless, and the use of this type of fragrance powder is not unprecedented. What sets it apart is the inclusion of Immortal Pill.”

“Our imperial physicians have conducted thorough tests. Miss Qin mentioned that she added Immortal Pill pills, fragrance powder, and seasonings. All the ingredients align with what is documented for the production of Immortal Pill in our records.”

“It appears that there is indeed an Immortal Pill in existence.”

Upon hearing Imperial Physician Yang’s confirmation, the Empress Dowager’s desire for Immortal Pill intensified. She promptly increased the reward for the “Immortal Pill” to 100 additional gold coins on the posted notice.

Qin Zhenzhen was elated upon learning of this development. That night, she penned a letter to Su Bin, instructing him to execute the plan she had previously taught him to obtain the two Immortal Pills.

Su Bin enlisted a young man from Meijiang Prefecture City for the task and sent him to Renhe Hall in the capital. This man carried a homemade wooden box and claimed to be a newcomer from Meijiang Prefecture City, seeking refuge with relatives and friends in the capital while searching for job opportunities.

Unfortunately, the young man’s relatives and friends in the capital ran small businesses and had no connections to high-ranking officials or nobles. They struggled to make ends meet and couldn’t help him secure a job. After nearly a month in the capital, he had not only failed to find employment but had also faced disdain and rejection.

Feeling disheartened, he began to contemplate returning to Meijiang Prefecture City.

However, one day, he overheard a conversation about the imperial physicians in the palace offering a reward for information about the elusive “Immortal Pill” from ordinary citizens. The descriptions of the pill’s effects bore some resemblance to the two treasures he had discovered in Mt. Daling.

He hesitated to disclose the valuable items he had found, fearing it might lead to trouble. Instead, he decided to consult the Benevolence Hall, seeking guidance from the physicians there.

A physician from Renhe Hall, however, displayed impatience and promptly dismissed him, asserting, “Quit daydreaming! Immortal Pills are exceedingly rare. How could you stumble upon them so easily?”

“No need to show me. I can tell the plants in your wooden box are ordinary!”

The reason for the physician’s gruff attitude was rooted in the notice displayed at the entrance of Renhe Hall. It stipulated that anyone in possession of such a valuable medicinal herb should first have it identified by a Renhe Hall doctor before being referred to the Imperial Hospital.

Since the notice’s posting, numerous individuals had come forward with ornate wooden boxes, only to reveal unfamiliar and clearly non-Immortal Pill herbs inside. The doctors at Renhe Hall had grown weary of these fruitless visits.

The young man’s appearance was unrefined, and his wooden box was crudely made. His demeanor gave no indication that he might possess a genuine treasure, further diminishing the doctors’ interest in examining its contents. They were convinced it was a fake thing..
