Chapter 2: The Elixir of the Holy Spirit
After only himself and the emperor were in the room, of course, he was not defensive against the prince who was now in bed. Xiao Qianqiu secretly lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember 30 years ago?!"
When Emperor Daqian heard this, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but there was no joy and no worries on his face. He bowed his head slightly and said, "I naturally remember!" In front of this old comrade-in-arms, Emperor Daqian did not call himself me to show his respect for him.
"Your Majesty, do you remember the pill that the three of us took out from there?"
When the emperor heard this, he naturally understood what Xiao Qianqiu meant, "You mean..."
"Your Majesty, the three of us went there together, died nine times and got the pill, although it didn't clearly indicate what the pill was, but I still remember the only piece of paper left next to the pill at that time, I didn't know what the word was at the time, but for 30 years, I was looking for it all the time, and I finally found it some time ago, and I also understood the words on it!" Speaking of this, Xiao Qianqiu's eyes were a little excited.
When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand something, "What is written on it?"
Xiao Qianqiu stared at the emperor and said word by word: "Saint-Spirit-Dan!"
The emperor was overjoyed at first when he heard this, but then he thought of something, and there was doubt in his eyes, "Holy Spirit Pill!? I remember that the pill is black!"
Xiao Qianqiu smiled wryly, "I was also very confused when I found out, so in this regard, I checked again and again to make sure that this answer is accurate!
The Holy Spirit Pill, as the pinnacle of this continent, can not know about this, the Holy Spirit Pill is the top healing elixir, whether it is poison or internal injury, as long as there is a breath, it can be recovered in a very short time. If it was really the Holy Spirit Pill, naturally there was no doubt about using the Holy Spirit Pill to save his eldest son, not that he was reluctant, but as far as the emperor himself knew, the Holy Spirit Pill was golden, and the pill they got was black. Can this titular Holy Spirit Pill really save the prince's life?
The emperor, who was originally decisive, hesitated in his heart at this time, and took a nominally the only heir who could save himself, if this pill was poison, then it was really Da Luo Jinxian who could not be cured.
Xiao Qianqiu saw the hesitation of his old comrades-in-arms, as the comrades-in-arms of the old emperor, how could he not be clear about his situation? His comrades-in-arms have three sons, the eldest Zeng Zichen, born with a unicorn, humble and polite, hard-working, although he is young and talented in his chest, he is not pretending to be those scholars, he has unique insights in the way of governing the country and the country, and his cultivation talent is a genius among geniuses, and he has broken through the big hurdle of innate at a young age.
And his second son, Zeng Zixuan, is far from his brother, both in terms of talent and virtue. Stubborn, greedy for fun, and not good at learning This is what the bachelors who teach in the palace have been commenting on in private. Of course, these were accidentally passed into the ears of the emperor, but whether it was private study or careful observation at the banquet, this son could not take on the important responsibility of the king of a country.
And the emperor's third son, Zeng Haomu, has a special identity, it is the royal blood of the former emperor of Chu, and the mother of the third prince begged His Majesty to let her parents and brothers go when the emperor was in the imperial capital of Chu, but no matter what psychology the emperor was in, he did not agree to her after all, and as for Concubine Chu, she committed suicide, and at that moment, the third prince happened to be present. originally thought that the three princes would be disposed of together, but the emperor did not do it in the end, even if many ministers came to him, he was only placed under house arrest.
Therefore, the only candidate for the emperor's heir can only be the eldest prince, but now the emperor's body is weakening day by day, and the empire originally tended to deter the major families who temporarily surrendered, and the sects began to move, and the prince's poisoning this time was mostly caused by these families, and the sect made a ghost.
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be delayed any longer, besides, the prince's fortune is empty, and he will be able to survive this catastrophe!" Xiao Qianqiu said.
The emperor's face changed a few times, and then sighed leisurely, "Anfu!" Anfu is the eunuch who serves by the emperor's side, when the emperor was only the prince, Anfu has been serving beside him, and now the emperor has almost unified the entire continent, Anfu's status is also rising, and he sits firmly in the position of the inner attendant and supervisor, which can be said to be the highest rank and the most powerful eunuch in the palace at present.
"The old slave is here!" Hearing that An Fu, who had been waiting outside the door, pushed open the door and walked in, the emperor whispered a few words in An Fu's ear, only to see An Fu left in a hurry, and after a while, he returned here, with an extra brocade box in his hand, the emperor took the brocade box, walked to the bed, and took a black elixir in the brocade box for the prince.
After a while, "Let the imperial doctors come in and take a look!" looked at the sleeping prince, and the emperor sat on the edge of the bed. Quietly looking at the hurried imperial doctor, his eyes once again fell into endless calm.
After a long time, more than a dozen imperial doctors took turns to check, and they suddenly looked happy, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the toxin diffusion speed in the prince's body has eased, and it is a rare sign of stopping!"
"Huh!?" the Emperor did not seem satisfied with this reply. The Imperial Physician also realized this, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, as long as the spread of this poison is suppressed, we will have time to study the ingredients of this poison and find a way to crack it, as long as Your Majesty waits for me for five days." The imperial doctor said as he looked at the emperor with the corner of his eye, as if he felt something, "No, it's just three days, as long as Your Majesty waits for me for three days, we will be able to crack this poison and find the antidote that will make the prince sober!"
The Emperor raised his eyes slightly, "Okay, I will give you three days, but you need to always remember one thing, that is, there is a limit to my patience!" After speaking, regardless of the reaction of the imperial doctors, he let the others disperse, and then strode away and went back to the imperial study, and before leaving, he surrounded this room with 300 Praetorian Guards.
Out of the Prince's Palace, the emperor and Xiao Qianqiu glanced at each other, and their hearts were also relieved, after all, it seemed that they had made the right bet after all. Back in the imperial study, Xiao Qianqiu talked with the emperor all night, and left early the next morning. That is, from that night on, the capital seemed to be noisy, and many people died in their sleep, and the guards of the palace became significantly tighter.
