King Yan paused and looked at the Empress.
The Empress said, "We know the Ning Family has a wide network and many resources. Although the regular medicines King Yan takes have specific sources, they're still not easy to procure. Later, I'll have someone ask the Imperial Hospital what they are short of. If you can help me gather them, it would naturally be a good thing."
Pei Zhan asked, "Do we know where King Yan's needed medicines have come from in the past?"
The Empress smiled slightly, "They're nothing other than those from Yunnan, Sichuan, and similar places."
"When I was in the northwest, I managed to obtain a few rare herbs from there, which are not found in our Central Plains. Madam, have you not sent someone to the northwest to look for them?"
"I have," the Empress paused, "but that was a long time ago. Good medicines are hard to find; even if they're available, they might not suit his ailments, so it's pointless to go through the trouble."
