Chapter 133 Dreaming of Heaven

Zhou Chang looked at the bottle intently.

The skinny monkey was only interested in throwing peanuts into his mouth. "Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Fu said that this bottle is worth 20,000 taels of silver. If Your Majesty doesn't need it, it won't be easily taken out for use. Here is half a bottle. The other half will be left in the pharmacy for Doctor Meng to do some research."

"Twenty thousand taels?" Zhou Chang felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

The skinny monkey didn't notice anything and just kept crunching the raw peanuts.

"You said, it was Aunt Jing who asked you to make this thing?" Zhou Chang felt like someone kicked him in the heart, "Why?"

"Why else?" The skinny monkey gave him a look that said "you should know the answer clearly".

Now not only Zhou Chang, but Prince Yi Fengming's consciousness also began to stir: "Aunt Jing doubts that I am not good enough?"

"What Aunt Jing means is that there are already people in the prince's room, but there is no movement, so let's give it a try." The skinny monkey spoke in a tone as if he was tasting food.

"Try what?" Zhou Chang knew it was a stupid question as soon as he asked it.

"What did you say to Manager Fu?" This was not the question she wanted to ask, but Prince Yi Fengming's consciousness pierced through his head like a flame.

The skinny monkey chewed peanuts and thought for a while: "Manager Fu didn't say anything, just said that this business is the best now. Doctor Meng is worried about the health of the prince, and said that nourishing yin and yang, and improving blood and qi, is natural and effective."

Zhou Chang couldn't ask any more questions, as Prince Yi Fengming would definitely lose all his dignity.

While the skinny monkey was talking, he had already finished a handful of raw peanuts. He took out another handful and peeled them while saying, "Shopkeeper Fu said that this bottle contains a magical medicinal oil called 'Dream Wandering in Heaven'. It comes from the Qimei people in the northwest. The medicinal oil itself has a strange fragrance. You can feel the effect just by smelling it. This medicinal oil cannot be bought in ordinary places. It is only available in some special places, so the price is shockingly high..."

Zhou Chang couldn't bear to listen any longer.

The so-called "Sleepwalking in Heaven" was prepared by You Wanyou, the second shopkeeper of Yaoyuefang, who used several kinds of medicinal oils from the Chimi people and added some medicinal powders.

Wouldn't the 20,000 taels of silver be thrown to that lecherous man You Zhongyou?

Ah, no, Yaoyuefang makes the most money, but that's also...

The more Zhou Chang thought about it, the more heartbroken he felt.

The skinny monkey was still chattering, "Shopkeeper Fu said that in Jindu City, only Yaoyuefang has this medicinal oil, and it's not easy for anyone with money to buy it. Because the quantity is small, it's not easy to show it to others. He had to steal a hole in the door for a long time to get such a bottle, but the prince caught up with him."

"Manager Fu spent a huge amount of money on this thing, isn't he planning to..." Zhou Chang became even more annoyed.

The skinny monkey didn't even raise his head, and threw the peanut skins onto the ground: "Do research for Doctor Meng, he wants to copy it."

Doctor Meng's real name is Meng Youfang. He is a doctor who works at Siwei Pharmacy all year round. His medical skills are not inferior to that of the Yuan family's Doctor Chu, but he is a low-key person who devotes himself to studying pharmacology, so he is unknown in the world.

This is a good idea, but unfortunately it is impossible.

Zhou Chang could still recall several of the materials from You Wan's memory, but they were all very vague, and those materials were very rare, and were hard to find even in foreign countries, otherwise they would not be sold at such a high price.

The skinny monkey probably had eaten all the food he could, so he stood up and said, "Your Highness can give it a try. Doctor Meng said that he took a quick look at this medicinal oil and it should be harmless to the body, as long as you don't use it every day."

"Forget it." Zhou Chang was refusing. "Tomorrow, you will return this bottle to Shopkeeper Fu intact."

If we say that twenty thousand taels of silver were invested in research and development, it is not a lot.

But Zhou Chang's heart still bleeds when he thinks that all his efforts will be in vain.

Every time Manager Fu saw Prince Yi, he cried poor. It turned out that he had spent a large sum of money on this. What a pity, what a pity.

However, it is hard to say what the person said as he has a spirit of research.

The skinny monkey stood still: "This is not good, how can I explain this to Aunt Jing?"

"I'll go to Aunt Jing..." Zhou Chang was about to say that he would go and tell her, but suddenly he was afraid of Aunt Jing's nagging. "Just send the medicine oil back. If Aunt Jing doesn't ask, you don't have to tell her. If she asks... well... just tell her the truth, and Aunt Jing won't make it difficult for you."

The thin monkey didn't believe it: "How can it not be difficult? There are things that Aunt Jing wants to do that cannot be done. Has the prince forgotten about drinking medicine when he was a child?"

Zhou Chang was already very familiar with Prince Yi Fengming's thoughts, and also knew what kind of personality Aunt Jing had. He was speechless: "Forget it, if Aunt Jing has anything to say, just push it to me."

The skinny monkey knew that his master was inevitably unhappy, so he advised: "Aunt Jing is also concerned about the prince."

"Yes, I know." Zhou Chang sighed inwardly. Because she knew that, she couldn't be angry with Aunt Jing.

"Your Highness, do you really want to send the bottle back?" The skinny monkey was obviously curious. "Don't you want to smell what it smells like? Shopkeeper Fu said that the fragrance lingers for a long time and is unforgettable once you smell it."

Zhou Chang was not curious at all. How much did he want when he was You Wan before?

But the skinny monkey was quick enough to grab the bottle and open it.

A rich aroma immediately overflowed from the bottle.

The scent is a mixture of various flowers and herbs, mixed with some indescribable smells of animals. It is hard to describe, but it is indeed unforgettable once you smell it.

The skinny monkey also sniffed hard and said disappointedly: "It's nothing."

"Let's take it back to Doctor Meng for research." Zhou Chang didn't think it was special and didn't hold out hope for a copy.

The thin monkey held the bottle and shook it in front of Zhou Chang again: "Your Highness, do you feel anything? I will send it back now. This servant has made a wasted trip and Manager Fu's kindness has been wasted.

"No," Zhou Chang almost choked and pushed it away: "Twenty thousand taels of silver, you should return it to Manager Fu carefully. I hope he can really come up with some new medicine."

"Yes, Your Highness." The skinny monkey had no choice but to put the bottle back in and leave with the bottle in his arms.

Zhou Chang returned to his bedroom, but the smell of sleepwalking in heaven lingered with him.

Whether he was washing his hands or his face, he was still vaguely filled with a special fragrance that made him feel more energetic and kept his eyes open until dawn.

What's the point of sleepwalking to heaven? It's simply impossible to go to dreamland, okay?

Zhou Chang lay dead till dawn, filled with resentment.

The next morning, Skinny Monkey returned the Mengyoutianxiang medicinal oil to Siwei Medicine Shop.

When Zhou Chang saw Aunt Jing coming to deliver snacks again, he just pretended nothing had happened.

After seeing Zhou Chang had two big dark circles under his eyes, Aunt Jing didn't ask anything.

Turning back, Zhou Chang thought about asking Zhong Yu for the money, so he stood up and went forward to look for it.

As soon as I walked out of the "front door" of the front hall, I saw Zhong Yu coming back from outside.

Zhou Chang felt something was wrong, so he went up to him and asked directly, "Mr. Zhong, you are here to process a bill of exchange for 100,000 taels. When can you cash it?"

Zhong Yu bowed and said, "I just came back from handling this matter. Thanks to Brother Ma, I learned that the bill of exchange can be split, which saves us the trouble of exchanging it for cash. Therefore, I have exchanged the 100,000 tael bill of exchange into two 50,000 tael bills. One was given to Chen Yuan to support the frontline and displaced people in the north, and the other was given to Ma Zhihong to open a medicine shop in the south, mainly for collecting medicinal materials."

Zhou Chang's heart sank. There was nothing wrong with this arrangement. She couldn't say anything and could only force a smile: "Sir, this arrangement is very good, but it's a bit too hasty. We also need to let Mr. Ma prepare."

Zhong Yusitian was filled with a sense of urgency: "It is a bit urgent, but when it comes to doing good things, the sooner the better, the sooner the better."

Zhou Chang was unwilling to give up, so he asked again, "Sir, how much cash do you have left? Do you have enough?"

“Why does the prince need it?” Zhong Yu has been in charge of the accounts of Prince Yi’s mansion for so many years and is most sensitive to money.

"No..." Zhou Chang couldn't say anything when he saw Zhong Yu's expression of facing a formidable enemy.

"That's good," Zhong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "If the prince needs it in the next two days, the mansion really can't come up with much money at the moment. It's just that..."

Zhou Chang could not hear anything else and turned back to his study room with his head drooped. "Oh, flattery never wears out;

well,"
