Chapter 33: Face the Saint

Menghan and the palace maids and eunuchs in the emperor's womb went to the imperial garden, and sat in the pavilion with their heads bowed and rubbed their handkerchiefs. Without the liveliness of the morning, Menghan at this moment was wearing exquisite clothes, quiet and silent, like a beautiful woman, and even Ming An didn't recognize it at once. It took two turns to pay attention to the people in the pavilion, and when I looked at it, wasn't it Yao Menghan in the morning, Ming'an hurriedly passed, "The girl can make it easy for me to find." ”

Meng Han came back to his senses, got up and said, "Has the emperor summoned him?" ”

Ming An replied, "Yes, after the emperor finished handling the government affairs, he felt comfortable, and he just had lunch with the eldest princess, the second princess, and the marquis of Duan, and the emperor remembered you, so he asked me to summon you." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Ming'an led Menghan all the way to the imperial study, Menghan waited for Ming'an outside the palace to return, and after a while, Ming'an invited Menghan in.

Meng Han cautiously stepped into the hall, and the solemn breath came to his face. The emperor sat in front of the bookcase and waited for Menghan, although there were palace maids and eunuchs waiting on the side, he didn't hear anything, and could only hear Menghan's footsteps. She walked to the hall with a bated breath, knelt down and saluted, "The people's daughter Yao Menghan pays a visit to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

The emperor said unhurriedly, "Get up, we have an appointment three days ago, if you can prove that you are not responsible for the explosion of the dancer, I will spare her, are you ready?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the people's daughter is ready." Menghan was full of confidence and said to Ming An, "What was handed over to my father-in-law for safekeeping in the morning, please bring it to my father-in-law." In addition, I need a bowl, pieces of broken iron, and candles. ”

The emperor nodded, Ming An ordered someone to prepare, and after a while, several little eunuchs came back with things.

Meng Han said to the eunuch holding the candle, "You stand far away. The little eunuch respectfully obeyed.

Menghan began to do the real yΓ n, she poured sulfuric acid into the bowl, sprinkled it with broken iron, and explained to the emperor while waiting for the reaction, "This is sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid is a very corrosive acid, which can react with metal to produce a very light gas called hydrogen, and the people of the Lile Hall fill this gas into the dragon and phoenix, so once the dragon and phoenix get rid of it, they will fly to a high place." ”

Seeing that the iron piece was dissolved, Menghan nodded with satisfaction, "There will be a popping sound when the candlestick is approaching next, please be mentally prepared and don't panic." Hearing this, Ming An immediately walked towards the emperor and made it look like he was going to protect the emperor at any time.

Menghan took the candle in the little eunuch's hand, leaned sideways like a cannon, and slowly approached with the candlestick in his arm, I'm also a girl, okay, I'm also scared, Menghan pretended to be calm, when the candlestick was close, it exploded with a bang, Menghan could feel a stream of air scraping across his cheeks with his eyes closed, and it was done.

Meng Han blew out the candles, and after the emperor and everyone were stable, Meng Han explained, "Hydrogen is a flammable gas, and there will be a popping sound when burned in impure oxygen, so that night, as long as there is a fire close to the dragon and phoenix, it will explode, and I think this can completely prove that the dancing girl did not intentionally murder the emperor." ”

The emperor nodded, not surprised, it was already in his expectation, "So, is it my fault?" ”

Menghan said bluntly, "The emperor is also a victim, the fault is not the emperor, but the Lile Hall." They shouldn't just think about the effect of the show and rashly use such a dangerous gas. ”

"You have a point. Ming An, the decree, dismissed the head of the Rite Music Hall and the master in charge of this dance, and handed it over to the Internal Service Bureau for conviction. As for Du Ruo, I said that you could prove her innocence and let her go. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Menghan had mixed joys and sorrows, one came out and two went in, hey, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, so if I destroy the seventh-level floating slaughter with my own hands, I will be punished. Is there anything else I can say at this moment, do I have any reason to defend them, they are self-defeating, they deserve it, it's none of my business.

The emperor asked, "How do you know about these strange things?" ”

Make it up, make it up, you can't tell it seriously, Menghan's head turned around, and it was not a problem to lie, "This, there is an old man in the hometown of the people's daughter, he traveled all over the world when he was young, and he knew a lot of strange things, and the people's daughter heard a little when she came into contact with him. ”

The emperor nodded, indicating that he accepted this statement, "Oh, this way, is the old man still there now?" ”

Meng Han shook his head again and again, "It's been many years since I passed away. "Where can I find you an old man who is well-read and knowledgeable, worthy of being an emperor, and if you meet someone with some ability, you want to take it for your own use.

The emperor sighed a pity, it seems that the emperor is also a person who loves talents, he should be a wise man. Menghan said tentatively, "Your Majesty, there is one thing that the people's daughter doesn't know whether to say or not. ”

"Say it."

"Please forgive me for my innocence before I dare to say it." If you don't want to kill your head, I don't dare to joke with my life, so let's ask for insurance first.

The emperor was also easy-going, "Okay, let's say, I don't blame you." ”

Menghan looked left and right, and the emperor understood, and said to Ming An, "You take them out." ”

After a group of palace maids and eunuchs went out, Meng Han spoke, "Dare to ask the emperor if he has taken pills?" ”

When the emperor heard the word elixir, he immediately became alert, and he suppressed his anger and didn't dare to speak up, "Who did you listen to?" ”

Menghan didn't shy away from it, and she was bold with the package ticket, "The folk girl stumbled upon it when she was checking hydrogen. The emperor, please listen to the words of the people's daughter, the pill has no effect of prolonging life, on the contrary, most of the pills contained in the pill are heavy metals, cinnabar and the like, which are harmful to the human body and have no benefit, please use it with caution. If the emperor really wants to strengthen his body, it is better to be active and not superstitious about these crooked arts. ”

The emperor still didn't have the harmony just now, and Yan SΓΉ asked, "Where did you know this?" Also the master from your hometown? ”

"Exactly, there were also people in my hometown who were obsessed with pills, but then they all suffered from it, the emperor should not listen to the villain's slander, but he is afraid that he will regret it in the future."

It may be that the previous hydrogen incident gave Menghan a certain status in the emperor's heart, and the emperor did not veto her immediately, and even had the urge to believe her, "You said that the pill is harmful to the human body, is there any evidence?" ”

Evidence? How can I prove to you that it is difficult to take you back to my house for a heavy metal test? Blood tests? Menghan took a deep breath, "Minnu has no evidence. ”

The emperor asked, "No evidence?" Do you dare to speak outrageously without evidence? ”

"The people's daughter really has no evidence, but she is not scaring the emperor with her words. The folk girl is really thinking about the emperor's well-being, please ask the emperor to learn clearly. Is this sentence challenging the emperor?

"Without any evidence, how do you want me to trust you? How do you want to know what to see? ”

Menghan also knew that this was indeed a bit far-fetched, and his words were not to be believed, but the emperor didn't seem to be a faint king, so he watched the emperor step on the road of no return, didn't I help the abuse, how could I, as the only modern person who understands science in this era, allow this kind of thing to happen. But I have a theory, what to do, what to do, Menghan knocked on his head and thought about it, "Your Majesty, I don't have evidence, but I can prove it." ”

"Oh?" The emperor was skeptical.

Meng Han said the strategy, "The emperor ordered people to prepare twenty rabbits, ten of which were fed with normal forage, and the other ten rabbits were fed with a large amount of pills taken by the emperor, and after a month, the abnormalities of these twenty rabbits were compared. ”

"Are you so confident? Are you so sure you're right? "It's rare for the emperor to see a woman with such courage, and he can't help but be impressed.

Of course, Menghan believes in herself and believes in the science of the 21st century," Minnu confirmed. The emperor may wish to give it a try, if the pill is really harmful, the emperor will stop using it in time, it is also a blessing for Dazhao, if the pill is harmless, the emperor can rest assured that he will take it in the future. ”

Anyway, it's a try, and it doesn't hurt for the emperor to think about it, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, just according to what you say." I will order someone to do it, thinking that you are thinking about my dragon body, and no matter what the outcome, I will not cure your sin. But I have one thing to tell you. ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"The matter of the elixir should not be humane to outsiders, if you leak it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"The daughters of the people obey the holy commandments."

Out of the imperial study, Menghan's mood suddenly brightened, I am a capable person, omnipotent, I admire myself more and more. Doesn't it say that saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, such an important person as the emperor can reach countless floating slaughters. My Buddha is compassionate, don't blame me for harming ten rabbits, God knows that I Yao Menghan is the kindest, in my previous life, I would be uncomfortable for several days when I saw someone abusing animals, and I am also forced to do it now. The emperor of Dazhao is also the lord of a country, and he dominates the world, which is much more important than ten rabbits. Besides, if I let it go, I am afraid that it is not this one emperor who will suffer, and it is unknown how many descendants will suffer from it. Rabbits, I am doing a great thing to save the country and save the people, so you should be considerate, and I will go back and copy the scriptures for you. The rabbit is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than the feather, you can save the emperor and benefit the world, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death. You are all Mount Tai, you will have good rewards, and you will definitely be reincarnated in a big family in the next life to be a young lady and young master who has no worries about food and clothing. Amitabha.

Menghan went out of the palace under the guidance of the little eunuch, and was intercepted by a eunuch just after turning two corners, "Dare to ask if this is Miss Yao." ”

"I am."

The little eunuch replied: "Master Duanhou has prepared a carriage at the south gate, please go back with the girl." ”

"Okay, take me there." It's rare that this young master still remembers me, and Meng Han is overjoyed.
