Chapter Ninety-Six: Pills

Chen Yu revealed what the queen wanted her to do, and Zuo Xiang replied with two words: do it. So Chen Yu deliberately approached the eunuch who took care of the alchemy furnace for the emperor.

The emperor attaches great importance to alchemy, and he will stay in front of the Dan furnace for several hours a day, so there are about 20 eunuchs arranged by the Shanggong Bureau to serve in the alchemy room.

The alchemy furnace was refining day and night, one would need such materials, and the other would need such materials, and these eunuchs would take turns to stay in the alchemy room.

The eunuchs who can come to this alchemy room are all selected, they must be strong and loyal, and there are no family members in the family who can be used to blackmail. Prevent being threatened with the lives of relatives and do things to kill kings.

These 20 or so people were divided into several groups, some were in charge of adding medicinal materials to the furnace, some were in charge of adding firewood to the furnace, some were in charge of starting Dan, and some were in charge of cleaning the Dan furnace. The groups rotated again at twelve hours. These eunuchs are very attentive to their work, and they can be by the emperor's side every day, which in itself is an opportunity to show their faces. If you do a good job and are promoted to the eunuch in charge of the first palace, you will have a much better life in the future, and you will be able to eat and drink spicy food.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace are all lonely and lonely, and occasionally form pairs of food in private to take care of each other, and they have some expectations for life.

There are very few eunuchs in the palace who are looking for Chen Yu to eat in private, and they dare not show favor to the queen's palace maids, for fear of annoying them and causing them to be killed.

When Chen Yu took advantage of the medicine for the queen, he took the initiative to get acquainted with Xiaowen, a eunuch in the alchemy room who added medicinal materials to the furnace.

"You're here to get the medicine again?" Chen Yu took the initiative to greet Xiaowen with the medicine he had taken.

Seeing that the queen's palace maid took the initiative to ask him, Xiaowen was flattered and hurriedly replied: "Back to Sister Chen Yu, today is the little one who is responsible for taking medicinal materials and resting tomorrow." "Everyone in the palace knows Chen Yu, the big palace maid next to the queen.

Chen Yu and Xiaowen walked side by side for a while, the two chatted for a few words, Chen Yu said: "Seeing you is like seeing my eldest brother." ”

Xiaowen asked, "Sister Chen Yu's eldest brother is at home now?"

Chen Yu's eyes were red, and she said in a low voice: "Two years ago, my eldest brother's family fell off the cliff and died, and now I am the only one left. ”

Xiaowen looked at Chen Yu sympathetically: "The little one also has no family, and one person is alive." ”

Chen Yu said to Xiaowen: "Then I'll call you brother, so that we can both take care of each other and no longer be alone." ”

Xiaowen hurriedly replied: "That's a little Gao Pan." ”

"How come, it's our fate. ”

Since then, the two of them have been going back and forth, chatting a few words when taking medicine, and caring about each other's situation. Chen Yu will do a few needlework for Xiaowen, and Xiaowen will give Chen Yu a few boxes of rouge gouache and other things that he bought from outside.

The eunuch who worked with Xiaowen saw that they were on good terms, and made fun of him from time to time, and the toad ate swan meat. Xiaowen was sweet in his heart, he already regarded Chen Yu as his wife in his heart.

The queen also heard that Chen Yu was befriending a little eunuch, and she asked with a cold face, "I heard that you eat against people?"

Chen Yu replied softly: "It's an expedient measure to drug someone to find someone." ”

The queen nodded: "As soon as possible, it can't be delayed for a long time." ”

"The slave maid listened to Xiaowen and said, tomorrow I will add the last batch of medicinal materials and start the furnace to take the pill, and tomorrow I will ......"

The next day, Xiaowen and Chen Yu had another affair in the Tai Hospital. Xiaowen greeted Chen Yu happily: "Xiaoyu, after taking Dan tomorrow, I will have two days off, let's go out of the palace to play?"

Chen Yu smiled: "Coincidentally, I also have two days off." When the time comes, let's find a reason to go out of the palace to play. ”

Chen Yu pointed to Xiaowen's feet: "I made you a pair of shoes, you change the size to try it." She took out a pair of men's shoes from her arms and handed them to Xiaowen, and casually took the medicinal herbs in Xiaowen's hand.

Xiao Wenmei lowered his head to change his shoes, the shoes were delicate and fitted, and he walked a few steps: "These shoes are really energetic to walk." ”

"If you like it, if you like. ”

Xiaowen nodded happily at Chen Yu: "I like it, I like it very much." ”

Chen Yu handed the medicinal herbs back to Xiaowen, and the two walked side by side and chatted until they broke up, Xiaowen stood at the intersection and looked at Chen Yu before turning to leave.

"You are so slow to take some medicinal herbs, and talk to your good friend again. The eunuchs in charge of adding firewood and making a fire laughed with Xiaowen.

Xiaowen said proudly: "She made me a pair of shoes, which are beautiful and fit." ”

The fire eunuch shook his head: "I really don't know what she likes about you." ”

Xiaowen put medicinal herbs in the furnace and said: "This is fate, and people can't envy it." ”

The Taoist priest, who had always only cared about alchemy, looked at Xiaowen twice, and thought in his heart: The little eunuch had an affair falling from the sky, and something was wrong. He wanted to think about it, but he still turned his head to look at the Dan furnace silently. The Taoist priest himself has a worried life, how can he be in the mood to take care of the affairs of the little eunuch.

Ever since he met that man and a cat, he could only concentrate on refining the elixir of immortality for the emperor here.

Each Taoist priest learns differently, some specialize in subduing demons, some alchemy, and some preach......

This Taoist priest originally learned demon magic, holding a compass in one hand and a demon sword in the other. He went into retreat before he became a master, and he was starving to death on the mountain without food and clothing, so he took over a business for his master. The person who came to find his master was also very generous, and gave fifty taels of silver, saying that he would give fifty taels after the deed was completed. didn't think about it, he was brought into the palace to collect the prince's soul. Unexpectedly, he also met a man and a cat with strong spells. Now he can only do alchemy according to the method given by the woman.

How can there be an elixir of immortality in this world, and if there is a Taoist priest who still uses cultivation? He only hopes to refine the formed elixir now, and as for what the elixir has effect, it doesn't matter.

After the emperor finished his government affairs, he took a team of guards and eunuchs into the alchemy room. Everyone hurriedly knelt down to greet the emperor, he shook his hand, and the group began to get busy again.

The emperor circled around the Dan furnace, and he asked the Taoist: "When will you start the furnace to get the Dan?"

The Taoist priest respectfully bowed his head and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the poor Dao has calculated, today is a good day, and you can start the furnace." ”

The emperor's eyes lit up and he was full of anticipation. Who in the world does not want to live a long life, let alone an emperor who is the lord of the world. What he wants most now is to be in love with his favorite concubine and live a long life.

In Zhaoyang Palace, the concubine was talking to Feng Ling: "Your Majesty's refining pill is about to start, he mentioned it to me, if he takes it, let me take it too." ”

Feng Ling said in surprise: "It takes a lot of medicinal materials and hours to refine a pill, and Your Majesty still wants to share it with Niangniang, which shows that Your Majesty really values you." ”

The concubine nodded: "Your Majesty really favors this palace." She sighed in her heart, it is easy to ask for priceless treasures, it is rare to have a lover, but ......

"That's good, why is Niangniang still displeased?"

The concubine diverted the topic: "Your Majesty let the palace stop raising any more, and the palace doesn't want to give birth." ”

Feng Ling took out a pill and handed it to her: "Believe me, I'll eat it." ”

The concubine took the pill and looked at it, she swallowed it directly in front of Feng Ling.

Feng Ling smiled and asked, "Niangniang is not afraid that I will be poisoned?"

"You can use such blatantness to poison it, not to mention that you once rescued the mother and son of this palace. ”

"The mother is very smart. Feng Ling continued: "This medicine not only makes Niangniang not regenerate, but also avoids all kinds of poisons. ”

The concubine looked at Feng Ling in surprise: "Why are you so good to this palace?"

"That's because my mother has always been kind to me. Kindness is reciprocated, and revenge is my purpose. ”
