Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Opening of new shop

Sleeking like a thief, it was always like this when it was about to leave the palace. Because an emperor may not go without an escort, but Emperor Zhou has been very common to do this since he was a prince first. To him going to the market or wherever it is important to get out of the palace is happiness and freedom.

One of the most preferred is to be able to mingle with the people and know each of the different life joints of his life, there he can be himself.

Emperor Zhou arrived at the simple pavilion still in the palace environment, a man several years older than him was sharpening a sword of pride that had already taken the lives of many for the sake of good.

"Commander Hao!" call him.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" ask the confused leader.

Emperor Zhou only smiled faintly, "I want to take you undercover to the market today, he said there is an opening for Madam Wu's new drugstore, and I want to see it in person."

"disguised?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The commander kept back the sword that had not been fully finished honed, simple hanfu and ordinary appearance. The emperor was already very prepared to go undercover but, today he should have also come to the medicinal shop to take a direct look. Unfortunately, his plan was not with the emperor.

"But ... " Commander Hao tried hard to rack his brain to find a reason for the emperor not to come out of the palace. "But outside there is a growing epidemic, I'd better go alone and you stay in the palace. Trust me, Your Majesty."

"I believe you, commander." replied the emperor, nodding twice, "But I also want to see firsthand what is happening outside, what about the fate of the drugstore today and whether Yang Zuo will come back to throw a tantrum."

"Isn't it dangerous for you?"

"It's okay, I'm not a blind man of martial arts."

Commander Hao could not answer anymore because that fact was true, even during the time of the previous imperial wars. They are a frightening combination for the enemy because of their skill in fighting and swordsmanship.

The end of the leadership of the previous emperor became very strange because of the rebellion of other countries who wanted their territory more widely. Zhou Xiu Huan who was then a prince, joined the war to dream of troops together with Commander Hao who at that time was also not the commander-in-chief. Two young men pitting fate with swords, together protect each other and win the fight so that no one interferes with their empire anymore.

Commander Hao sighed softly, "Alright, Your Majesty."

"Hurry to prepare the commander, it's too late, afraid that I won't be able to meet Madam Wu like the other day. I'd really like to see him."

"Welcome to Lady Wu?"

"Yes, why?" ask emperor.

"No problem, Your Majesty." replied Commander Hao unsettledly, "But usually Madam Wu is very difficult to meet in person if you do not want to consult health problems, but usually Madam Wu, he's busy serving people who want treatment but don't know what the pain is."

"Then I'll wait."

***

The opening of the drugstore really went on very crowded and queued up to an enormous length, most of the people who came to the market today went to buy medicine at Madam Wu's drugstore. This time it was so crowded that everything was almost overwhelmed, but due to the help from Dayang Yi, Lu Yan, and the few people sent by Physician Zhong, everything could be well controlled.

Especially for Madam Wu's practice, the line extended until it filled the streets. The outbreak is not over yet, it can even be said to arrive at the peak phase. More than fifty people and twenty children are reported to have died due to the prolonged outbreak in all parts of the country.

"I came from a far south, yesterday my nephew and many others died of this plague. He said there was good medicine here, so I went here to look for him." said a thin man with simple hanfu, he was shabby and had traveled a long way to get to the city.

"really? So the plague really caused people to die?"

"Yes, very severe in our country prolonged drought."

"Then we should also be careful with this."

The others nodded, increasingly alarmed by the outbreak of vomiting and fever that made some people die. "Yes, so I'm buying medicine here. I deliberately bought a lot because I had to share it with the people in my village as well."

"We're not as lucky as people in the city who can get medicine easily, we've tried concocting herbs and it turns out that it's toxic and dangerous."

Zhou Fang Yin heard their conversation carefully, meaning that if this outbreak occurred across the country and prolonged then there would be many people who were victims. "You hear that?" zhou Fang Yin asked the elder brother.

"Yes, I heard it." replied the older brother.

The princess hugged the book inscribed with the order of the people to be summoned after the consultation was over, they were also tasked with helping the people who were feeling difficulties. "Then, what can we do to help them?"

"I don't know, either, how we can help everyone.

"If we could give the medicine one by one to them huh." said Zhou Fang Yin lowered his head in silence, instantly becoming aware of his words he rounded his eyes. "How about we start by helping mothers buy more herbs, so that we can channel the medicine through trusted people and people can get the medicine too."

"That sounds hard, but if you don't try won't know yes."

"We should try first brother." persuaded the princess again, "Rather than we keep holding hands like this, I'm sure you and I have enough money to buy as much medicine as mom buys."

"Well to try, Xiao Yin!" zhou Ming Hao replied that as he began to put together plans also in his brain, they did have a lot of possessions, but their power was very limited, the mother was the key.

The two children refocused on calling one by one people who wanted to meet with Wu Li Mei to consult their health issues. Some who have met, choose to directly buy the drug because it feels suitable. Basically the same medicine given by Wu Li Mei with herbal medicine purchased to the Suo brothers, only Wu Li Mei sometimes gives additional drugs needed to quickly heal.

"Cheng Yu!"

"Cheng Yu!"

"I'm here!"

Zhou Ming Hao called out the name, a noblewoman with her young son entered Wu Li Mei's practice room. "Please enter!"

"Thank you."

"Next, Feng W--"

Zhou Ming Hao's call came to a halt as he saw someone he knew very well there, dressed in simple hanfu alongside another staring man giving the code to run to him. Holy hooch! The emperor is here, and for what? Some time ago while in the old shop the emperor also came.

The crown prince rushed to meet his younger brother, he stood in front of him to block the emperor's vision from them. "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Look, there's Father and Commander Hao."

"Again?"

"Yes." Yeah." Zhou Ming Hao nodded.

"We should how? What if we get caught?"

"I don't know either, but in the meantime don't panic because a lot of patients are coming and you won't have a chance to see your mom or us. She won't wait until the afternoon to meet her mother for sure!"

Pukk ...

Zhou Ming Hao froze on the spot, "Excuse me, can I meet with Madam Wu?"

The resolute voice from behind him made the crown prince break out in a cold sweat, Zhou Fang Yin had already lowered his head and chose to run off to call the other patients. With the young man forced to turn around, hopefully the black veil he was wearing could help.

Zhou Ming Hao continued to look down, staring at the tiles and pretending to be busy. "Sorry sir, unfortunately I'm still very busy. There are a lot of uncalled lines. Maybe you should wait until the afternoon."

"All right!" emperor Zhou said as he looked around, this young man before him was very strange and kept his head down but like a stranger. "I'll wait until the afternoon" he concluded.
