I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

The empress retracted her gaze and looked at the table indifferently.

"Doctor Hua is a rare talent. It is better not to personally test the medicine in the future."

"There are so many death row prisoners in the Imperial Prison. If Imperial Doctor Hua needs them, he can pick one to test the medicine anytime."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Hua Weiqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down to thank the empress with a smile.

"The medicine developed this time contains several key rare medicinal materials. I am worried about waste, so I personally tested the medicine..."

The empress glanced at Hua Weiqing and smiled.

"No matter how rare the medicinal materials are, they are not as important as Doctor Hua's life."

"If Imperial Doctor Hua needs any medicinal materials, feel free to go to the Imperial Pharmacy and get them..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Hua Weiqing looked at the empress with gratitude.

"I happen to be short of a few medicinal herbs, and the Imperial Pharmacy happens to have..."

The empress waved her hand and said, "If you need any medicinal herbs, just go get them..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Hua Weiqing smiled excitedly.

She thanked the empress respectfully and left the imperial study with a hunched back.

After leaving the imperial study, the excitement on Hua Weiqing's face suddenly disappeared, and he put his hands behind his back and breathed a long sigh of relief.

If he had nothing to ask for, the empress might not trust him.

Hua Weiqing pursed his lips and gave a dry laugh. This time he had accidentally gained some advantage.

He has indeed been developing a new drug to control people's mind recently, and he is short of a lot of medicinal materials.

This time, he had to go to the Imperial Pharmacy and rob it.

The more he took, the more relieved the empress felt.

Although he didn't know why the empress wanted to silence him, he knew about the Wu Ma Bu Guan and he had to keep silent about it in the future.

There is a high probability that something went wrong with the Wu Ma Bu Guan...

.......

"Your Majesty..." The female official bowed slightly and said with drooping eyelids,

"Doctor Hua went to the Imperial Pharmacy and took away 13 kinds of precious century-old medicinal materials, which made the Imperial Pharmacy's doctor very angry..."

After Doctor Hua left the imperial study, the empress asked the female official to follow him.

The female official saw Doctor Hua enter the imperial pharmacy with her own eyes, and after he left with a bunch of medicinal materials, she went back into the imperial pharmacy to ask some questions.

When she went in, the chief imperial physician was yelling and cursing at the top of his lungs.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of medicinal materials that Doctor Hua took away..."

The female official placed the list of medicinal materials on the desk in front of the empress and stood aside respectfully.

She had to behave better, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stay with the empress when the gap-toothed female official came back after completing her mission.

For so many years, she has been suppressed by the gap-toothed female officials. Now she finally has the opportunity to serve the empress personally, and she must do her best.

The empress lowered her eyes and glanced at the list of medicinal materials on the table.

"Hundred-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old ganoderma, cordyceps, bird's nest, pangolin, musk, poria cocos, purple gold ingot..."

After reading it, the corners of the empress's mouth twitched slightly.

This Hua Weiqing is really rude.

However, she felt a lot more relieved after seeing Hua Weiqing doing this.

The empress raised her hand and tapped the list of medicinal materials on the table.

"Xuan----Wuma Quande, the patriarch of the Wuma family!"

After shutting Hua Weiqing's mouth, it was time for her to meet the Wu Ma family.

What is coming will eventually come, and she has to be the one to take the initiative.

“.....Yes!” The female official was stunned for a moment, then responded quickly and walked out.

She thought the empress was going to say something about Hua Weiqing's greed.

As a result, the empress never mentioned the matter of medicinal materials at all.

After the empress watched the female official leave, she took the list of medicinal materials on the table, folded it, and put it in the desk drawer.

She was thinking about how to tell the Wu Ma family.

The empress went over everything in her mind over and over again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after she was sure there were no mistakes.

She frowned and looked towards the door of the imperial study.

"Why haven't you come in so long?!"

"Could it be that the Wu Ma family discovered something?"

The empress walked to the door of the imperial study, looked at the setting sun, and felt very nervous.

She couldn't help but feel an instinctive fear towards the patriarch of the Wu Ma family.

The eyes of the Wu Ma family patriarch are as deep as a lake, and seem to be able to see into people's hearts.

She didn't want to see this old guy unless it was absolutely necessary.

Just when the empress couldn't help but send someone to check again, the female official came back running with sweat all over her face.
