Chapter 202: 4 Kinds of Elixirs
Chapter 202: 4 Kinds of Elixirs
It rained during the Dragon Boat Festival, but it stopped the next day.
It’s the seventh day, and it’s a good day.
Zichen Palace is a good place.
The emperor was sitting here in a bad mood. Although there were beauties trying to comfort him, he felt a little dizzy.
Zhang Zhi was serving on the side, not daring to say a word.
Eunuch Lu carried a pile of things and entered the hall carefully.
The emperor looked at him and suddenly laughed. How could this look like he was fleeing? No, that wasn't right. Did this look like he was sending local specialties?
Zhang Zhi looked at His Majesty carefully. Sure enough, Prince Wei was still the most favored. There was no one in the palace or the capital who could satisfy the Emperor. Zhang Zhi felt that if Prince Wei hadn't come to make the Emperor smile, something big would have happened.
Eunuch Lu knelt there without saying a word.
Zhang Zhi looked at him, wondering if he was going to make a secret report?
The emperor is right.
Zhang Zhi then left with the eunuch. He was thinking, what has the King of Wei done? Of course, this kind of thing is not something a eunuch like him should think about. He carefully guarded the door.
Eunuch Lu first handed the emperor a stack... a thick stack.
The emperor smiled again: "Go ahead. There are so many. I will keep them for you to read slowly."
Eunuch Lu replied carefully: "Your Majesty has to look at this first, then I can make a decision."
The emperor blurted out: "I have a headache now."
Eunuch Lu blurted out, "The prince presented His Majesty with water from the well next to Yunyin Temple, and also presented several kinds of elixirs."
Eunuch Lu placed two jars of water in place, then took out four porcelain bottles and showed them to Your Majesty, then took them back.
The emperor was displeased and said, "Stop being so mysterious."
Eunuch Lu then honestly took out a bottle and explained to His Majesty: "This is for longevity." He took out another bottle and said, "This is for detoxification."
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Present it."
Eunuch Lu carefully handed over the antidote pill.
The emperor took the porcelain bottle and opened it. He looked at the pills inside and saw a fragrant smell. His headache was immediately relieved. He asked, "How do I take it?"
Eunuch Lu knelt down again and replied carefully: "Just eat it directly."
The emperor looked at the old slave, then looked at the pile, poured out one and ate it.
The aroma was pleasant and made the emperor feel dizzy. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, but he felt a lot more relaxed.
The emperor's face turned even darker! The old slave seemed to be obedient, kneeling there without looking at him. But the emperor was so angry that he wanted to kill someone! He suppressed his anger and took another detoxification pill. This time he felt refreshed!
The emperor is not angry anymore! It's time to kill them!
Eunuch Lu knelt carefully the whole time. He could kneel for two days.
The emperor adjusted his mood and asked, "Where is the medicine?"
Eunuch Lu looked at the emperor carefully, lowered his head and explained: "I dare to say that the prince has instructed that if Your Majesty eats this, you must not believe anyone who talks about elixirs. This medicine can only prolong your life, and Your Majesty is in his prime, so you may not need it."
After listening to him, the emperor smiled and said, "Present it."
Eunuch Lu presented it honestly.
The emperor opened the porcelain bottle, poured out the medicine and ate it. As expected, he felt like he was floating in the air. There was a refreshing fragrance and he felt very good.
The emperor was in a mood to look at this thick pile.
Eunuch Lu knelt down carefully again.
The emperor looked at him, then at Yuan Miao's letter, then looked at the old slave and continued reading the letter.
The emperor was in a much calmer mood at the moment. It was just a replacement of an elder sister, not an extra elder brother. It was time to deal with the An family, and there were still some parasites in the royal family. If these parasites were not cleaned up, they would only ruin the thousand-year foundation.
It seems good to not move at ordinary times, but as long as you move, there will be problems. The more you move, the more problems there will be. Everyone wants to occupy a piece of interest and not be allowed to move. They just want to occupy more and more. Whose are they occupying? My! The Shengzhou Shen family should also be dealt with! They should all be killed!
The emperor looked at what the Jiao family had done. He was a little curious. None of them complained, but only said how good the two young men were. The emperor asked with a smile, "Who came up with this? This article is so childish."
Eunuch Lu replied in a low voice: "The Yun family."
The emperor asked, "The girl from the Yun family?" She is the one with the most ideas.
Eunuch Lu responded: "The young lady respects His Majesty and cherishes talent."
The emperor watched silently. These poems and articles were indeed childish, but rare in purity and spirit. If cultivated for a few years, they could become a good sword. Although the emperor was not short of swords, he did need to cherish talents so that more people would be willing to make swords for him.
The emperor watched till the end and asked curiously, "Miss, do you think highly of the eldest prince?"
Eunuch Lu responded, "Young lady, only respect your majesty."
The emperor smiled. He was in a good mood, which was rare. Just like the weather outside.
Zhang Zhi was standing outside, his legs were sore from standing, and he finally had a chance to come in and pour tea for His Majesty, while carefully reporting: "Lord Wang from the Ministry of Justice has personally gone to Wei County to arrest Miss Yun."
The emperor smiled and said, "Go and bring back Wang Xianyi's people, including his two sons. If anyone disobeys my order, he will be beheaded on the spot."
The emperor didn't want to get more out of Wang Xian. He deserved to die.
Zhang Zhi hurried to find the left prime minister to draft an edict.
Eunuch Lu carefully hid aside.
Another young eunuch came to report to the emperor: "The Concubine Shu said that there is a treasure presented by Lord Jiao."
The emperor smiled and issued an edict: "The eldest son Chen Feng shall be made the King of Qi."
The young eunuch suddenly looked up and stared at the emperor in amazement. Who is the King of Qi?
The emperor gave a look.
The young eunuch wanted to die on the spot. Many people died in the palace.
Zhang Zhi rushed back and kicked the young eunuch out, as he would not live long anyway.
The emperor continued to issue an edict: "Chen Feng is renamed Jie and given the courtesy name Shenzhi."
Zhang Zhi thought, the eldest prince has no hope. The emperor has to continue killing people.
The emperor did not kill anyone this time. He wanted to grant Chen Jie a marriage. He took the things written by the Cai family and the two young men and drafted an edict. After thinking about it, he still felt unsatisfied, so he said: "Gan is quiet and chaste, so she should be granted the title of Lady Zhenlan, which is comparable to Liang Di." That was about it.
As for discussing it with them? No need. The Gan family is prepared, and I will make the decision on Chen Jie's side.
As for the Cai family, the emperor added an edict: "I pity Cai Qin, but regret that I never got to meet him. I hereby posthumously confer the title of Jinshi and Chengyilang on him."
Zhang Zhi had heard about the Jiao and Gan families. The Jiao family had originally wanted to fool the emperor, but they hadn't expected the emperor to fool them in a big way. The Jiao family was in trouble this time.
The emperor's phoenix eyes are full of sharpness, I will just watch him carefully!
Zhang Zhi is busy again and is about to be exhausted.
Eunuch Lu hasn't left yet.
The emperor was in a good mood and asked him, "What are those two?"
Eunuch Lu presented a porcelain bottle, then knelt down and reported: "This is pretending to be sick. If you take one pill every five days, your condition will get worse. If you stop taking it, you will recover in ten days. It won't hurt your body at all."
The emperor stared at the old slave.
Eunuch Lu didn't dare to say a word. The emperor pretending to be sick was definitely not something Prince Wei could interfere with.
The emperor laughed and asked, "What about the remaining one?"
Eunuch Lu hurriedly presented the last porcelain bottle and replied, "This medicine can refresh your mind, one pill at a time. But I dare to ask Your Majesty to take care of your body and not overwork yourself."
The emperor understood the purpose of this. This tiredness would give him a headache. This is how the old man in the Imperial Hospital fooled him.
