After the white-haired Sima Han was brought to the palace, he didn't have time to say hello, so the emperor asked him to quickly check on the ninth prince's condition.

Everyone held their breath and surrounded Sima Han and the Ninth Prince.

I saw the miracle doctor taking his pulse, stroking his white beard and thinking deeply.

The Ninth Prince kept crying out in pain, moaning softly, and breaking out in cold sweat.

Mo Lingwei stood at the head of the ministers, with a sarcastic smile on his thin lips.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Ninth Prince is not suffering from any illness. If you really want to forcefully complain that you are in pain, I am afraid that you have eaten too much and your food is damaged. I will give you a few injections and the disease will be cured immediately."

With that said, Sima Han unfolded the acupuncture bag he carried with him.

When he took out the silver needle, he didn't know whether it was due to the Ninth Prince's guilty conscience, but he felt that the tip of the needle was extremely sharp.

He swallowed calmly.

Sima Han had a gray beard and smiled: "Your Majesty the Ninth Prince, the common people are going to give you acupuncture for ventilation. One of the needles must land on the painful point. Please be patient."

Then, he pressed the Ninth Prince's hand with his rough palm.

Seeing the sharp needle tip, it was about to penetrate into the blood vessel of the Ninth Prince's wrist!

"Wait a minute!" The Ninth Prince finally screamed in fright, and hurriedly took back his hand, with a livid expression on his face: "Where did you come from, a charlatan, and you dare to talk nonsense? Don't you know His Highness's body? It's your turn. A man like an old beggar comes to diagnose and treat me."

He looked at the emperor and begged: "Father, don't let such wandering doctors check your son's pulse. Their origins are unknown and they don't know what they want to do!"

The emperor's face darkened and he reprimanded directly: "Nonsense! Why don't you quickly apologize to the old miracle doctor? Without him, your mother-in-law's hair wouldn't be able to grow now!"

The ministers hid their mocking expressions and lowered their heads, enduring the hardship.

Only the Ninth Prince was stunned in place.

In his early years, Concubine Qi was relegated to the cold palace, and he was also ignored. He hid in his palace all day long and did not go out much, let alone hear about what was going on outside.

Therefore, he had only heard of the name of the miracle doctor Sima Han twice, but he did not know this person, let alone meet him.

What's more, after his mother-in-law, Concubine Qi, was struck by lightning, she became bald and looked extremely ugly and ferocious. He was not allowed to approach her palace for a long time.

He also had no chance to meet the so-called miracle doctor.

However, I heard something from the maid next to Concubine Qi that the emperor found a powerful doctor to diagnose and treat Concubine Qi's hair problem.

Unexpectedly...it was this old gentleman!

Sima Han didn't say any harsh words, he just never gave the Ninth Prince a look in the eye again.

He cupped his hands and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the common people never like to meddle in other people's business. Now that they are old, they only stay in the homes of some old friends. If you hadn't contacted General Xie, you would have invited the common people into the palace to serve as Concubine Qi's wife. If the hair grows, ordinary people will not enter the palace, let alone be greedy for the power in the palace."

"Now it seems that since Concubine Qi's son thinks that ordinary people have no ability, then the emperor should hire someone else to help her grow her hair!"

With that said, Sima Han lifted his robe, said goodbye and left.

Brothers Xie Suzhi and Xie Dizhi quickly persuaded: "Mr. Miracle Doctor, Mister!"

Sima Han didn't even look back.

Xie Mingxu sighed, his eyes darkening: "Although the old gentleman is an idle cloud and wild crane, he has his own principles and temper. It was not easy to persuade him to enter the palace to treat Concubine Qi, but now that His Highness Ninth Prince said this, I am afraid I will want to invite him again in the future. Come, it will be difficult.”

The Ninth Prince looked stunned.

He actually personally drove away the doctor who was treating his mother and concubine!

The emperor's expression was terrifyingly cold.

"You don't have a stomachache now?" Mo Lingwei sneered.

Only then did the Ninth Prince come back to his senses with a pale face, covering his abdomen: "I..."

He looked at the emperor and said, "Father, my abdominal pain is indeed fake... But that's all because I am afraid that locusts will damage your dragon body, so I have to use this method to prevent everyone from eating locusts."

The Ninth Prince was afraid of being punished and being ignored again.

"Father, my subject's heart can be learned from heaven and earth. I never meant to deceive you!"

As soon as these high-sounding words were spoken, a look of contempt flashed across the eyes of many ministers.

The Ninth Prince said it so nicely because he just wanted to fight against the countermeasures that Princess Funing came up with.

There is really no sense of the big picture.

The emperor was furious and slapped the Ninth Prince directly: "You bastard!"

"I think about your mother and concubine, but you only care about your own selfish desires. You have embarrassed me in front of so many ministers. How can you call yourself my son?"

The emperor waved his sleeves: "Come here, take the Ninth Prince down and order him to face the wall and think about it for a month. No one is allowed to visit without my permission!"

"Father! I was wrong, Father!!" The Ninth Prince was still shouting for mercy when he was dragged away by the Imperial Army.

Xie Mingxu looked coldly in the direction of the Ninth Prince, and pursed his thin lips in a cold arc.

His sister is still smart.

Shen Ningning expected that someone would object to today's insect feast and pretend to be uncomfortable.

So he was asked to bring the miracle doctor into the palace in advance.

This time, the Ninth Prince really shot himself in the foot.

The emperor posted an imperial notice and called on everyone to bring locusts to the table.

There is a trend of frying locusts in the capital.

It's just that this matter is still unheard of for most people.

Therefore, the locust situation has not been alleviated much.

Many crops are still damaged every day.

Shen Ningning invited Lu Shaoyuan's mother, Mrs. Meng, and asked her to use the power of the chamber of commerce to invest money in the business and buy and sell locusts.

Turn fried locusts into a dish business.

Mrs. Meng is indeed a hero among women, and she hits it off with Shen Ningning.

She seized this business opportunity in time and first cooperated with several restaurants in the capital to bring locusts to people's dining tables.

Immediately afterwards, she promoted the medicinal effects of locusts, saying that they filled the stomach, coupled with the extremely low price and delicious taste, everyone who tasted it said it was good, and it soon became a delicacy on every household's table.

Mrs. Meng was making a lot of money and was overjoyed. She planned to give part of the money she earned to Shen Ningning.

The wealthy businessmen in the city saw the business opportunities and followed suit one after another. For a time, there were locust catching nets everywhere.

Soon, not many locusts were seen raging. Everyone stared at them helplessly, either catching the locusts to sell, or roasting them for themselves.

That day, the weather was bright and sunny, with white clouds.

Shen Ningning and Lu Shaoyuan made an appointment to meet in a private room of a restaurant.

"Here, my mother said, you deserve these five thousand taels of silver. You helped her make a lot of money."

Shen Ningning accepted the thick stack of banknotes without ceremony and put them in her baggage.

She smiled sweetly: "Mrs. Meng and I each get what we need. It's written in my mother's booklet that this is called a win-win situation."

"By the way, Lu Shaoyuan, I came to you this time because I have something to ask you for help."

Lu Shaoyuan picked up the teacup and raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter? Princess Funing, who is so powerful, actually needs my help?"

Shen Ningning blinked her big round eyes and said seriously:

"Let's go get married tomorrow."

"Puff——!!!" Lu Shaoyuan spurted out all the tea he had just drank.

Shen Ningning covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, feeling a little disgusted.

Hey, why is he so indiscreet, squirting just when he wants to, forget it, just get married and make grandma happy, just bear with it.

The little girl thought so.

"What did you say?! Marrying you?! Tomorrow?!" Lu Shaoyuan's expression changed for the first time, looking happy and confused.

There was a loud "dong" sound coming from the next door, but Shen Ningning didn't take it seriously.

"Yes, would you like to?"
