Chapter Fifty-Seven: Retreating as an Advance to Bewitch the Sacred Heart
Emperor Gengyuan walked down the steps step by step, and in the center of the position, only the emperor could walk, so the palace maid didn't even dare to follow and support.
His eyes revealed a strong desire, the emperor's life is too comfortable, dominating the four seas, the peak of power, the beauty of the country, taking what he wants, who doesn't want to really live it.
Even such outstanding people as Emperor Yingzheng are looking for immortals and medicines everywhere, eager for immortality.
The people around them all nervously watched Emperor Gengyuan walk down the steps of the Yunlong relief step by step, and Chen Shou's hands trembled slightly.
Half hungry, half tired, how could this grandson walk so slowly.
At this time, Chen Shou was not nervous, his heart was very clear, and every step was carefully calculated by him. Just looking at his expression, Miao De even felt that at this moment, even he firmly believed that this small box contained an elixir.
Finally, Emperor Zhao Fu walked in front of Chen Shou.
He stretched out his hand and carefully took the small box, the dragon and crane carvings on it were found by Yanqing Guan after turning over hundreds of Daomen ancient scrolls, which was full of the mysterious aura of the ancient ancestors.
The small box was tied with a piece of red silk, exuding a medicinal aroma that stimulated the nerves, which lifted Emperor Gengyuan's spirits.
Chen Shou's voice was clear, and he raised his head and said: "After the Nine Turns of Jin Dan is completed, in the depths of a red cloud, Jade Li serves the Void Emperor. Your Majesty, this Dan is a nine-turn golden pill, and it is a treasure that is not born in the Daomen. To be successful, take nine capsules. ”
Zhao Fu still has a little bit of an emperor's appearance now, in Chen Shou's eyes, this is no different from the old man who was fooled into spending a lot of money to buy health care products in later generations.
He flickered, more at ease.
Zhao Fu untied the red silk tremblingly, and found that there was only one in the box, and he was immediately anxious, "Why is there only one?" ”
Chen Shou waited for him to ask this, and immediately answered: "Your Majesty, the Nine Turns Golden Pill was originally one, but now the Dao Gate is in decline, and there is no Dao Sect Extraordinary Saint, so it can only be collected with the power of the Dao Gate, divided and refined." ”
"When will it be refined?"
Chen Shou said categorically: "One can be produced every sixty-six days!" ”
In fact, there are a lot of these things in Doctor Liu's place.
Chen Shou asked him to improve his life, and he didn't have to worry about anything else, and specialized in this kind of disposable pill.
In a sense, this thing is a bit like a little blue film, which allows you to recover some vitality for a short time, and there is also dependence.
"In addition to this one, there are eight more, that is, it will take a year and a half..."
He was a little remorseful, why didn't he go to the Taoist house to find good medicine earlier, his body, a year and a half... It should be fine.
"When should I take it?"
Chen Shou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the old emperor was in the middle of his life.
As long as he eats one, there is a glimmer of hope in his heart, and this glimmer of hope is all for him.
If anyone dares to question it, he will come to extinguish his glimmer of hope, and he will inevitably be severely punished by the old emperor, this is the people's heart.
He would rather believe than doubt, because he believes that there is at least some hope. At this age, without this glimmer of hope, there is a daily fear of death. His dream is the best proof of this.
As long as Chen Shou doesn't show too much of his feet, so that fools can see that he is swaggering, then he will be invincible.
"Your Majesty, to take this medicine, you need to clean your clothes, burn incense, and swallow it under water."
---
The golden silk wood is carved into a simple screen, which tastes elegant, and the smoke of the two incense burners curls and the clouds linger, adding a touch of hazy and dreamy to this antique scene.
On the ivory bed in Kowloon, the old emperor was bathed in the aroma, and there was really a little more fairy energy.
He turned his head to look at the expressions of the palace maids around him, and saw that they were all a little reverent and surprised, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied.
After taking the elixir, I really had a little more energy.
"Chen Shou!"
"The minister is here."
Chen Shou, who was outside the screen, respectfully clenched his fists and said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”
"What are the contraindications for taking this medicine?"
Chen Shou thought about it, this emperor is so old, and he still accepts concubines every day, which shows that he is a pervert.
It doesn't matter if he is lustful as an emperor, but after all, when he is old, if he wastes that bit of energy on his concubine, he will die suddenly sooner or later.
He can't die now, he has to eat at least nine grains, and in the past year and a half, he has given himself enough time to arrange for seizing power.
Otherwise, he was fledgling, and the emperor died, and he would definitely be torn to pieces by Wenchen, Yao Baobao and others.
Thinking of this, Chen Shou hugged his fists and said: "During the period of taking medicine, Your Majesty should concentrate on cultivation, meditate and recuperate, eat lightly, should not be close to women, drink spirits, and work physically and mentally. ”
Emperor Gengyuan frowned, but when he thought that if he succeeded, he could enjoy these things to his heart's content. Besides, he has been an emperor for so many years, and he is a little tired of wine, so he nodded happily.
By this time, Chen Shou had completely relieved, his face was still the same, but he had already begun to celebrate in his heart.
Sure enough, the emperor felt refreshed, and at the beginning, he was a little addicted to this way of health preservation.
"Chen Shou, what reward do you want for such a great achievement?"
Chen Shou calculated in his heart that if the lion opened his mouth at this time, it would inevitably leave a thorn in the emperor's heart.
He will wonder if he lied to him because he wanted to take the throne, and the suspicion of Emperor Zhao Fu is well known.
When Cao Guangliang came, he also told him that he must not open his mouth to ask for an official, Chen Shou bent down and said: "The minister wants to refine the pill for His Majesty with the Daomen, but he doesn't have the heart to take care of some cases and yamen affairs, and the minister doesn't dare to ask for a reward." ”
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Gengyuan no longer had a pimple in his heart, and his hope was greater.
He laughed out loud twice and said, "How can you not be rewarded for your merits, I will make you a Jinmen Yuke and be in charge of the Taoist temples in the world." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, the minister is a grass man in Xiliang, just because of a coincidence, he got the guidance of the immortals in his dream, so that the minister can share his worries for His Majesty. Your Majesty is so favored, and the ministers are deeply afraid that they will point fingers at outsiders, which is not conducive to Your Majesty's cultivation. ”
After a careful investigation, he knew that instead of waiting for Yao Baobao and others to take it to sue him, it was better to lay a staircase by himself.
When Emperor Gengyuan heard that this Chen Shou was so sincere, he had nothing to hide from himself, and the effect of the medicine had begun to take effect, which made him extremely satisfied, and said directly: "You can rest assured that with me, no one can slander Aiqing." ”
"I will allow you to build a Taoist temple in the summer resort outside the Bianliang Imperial City, which is not subject to any yamen under the Zhongshu Gate, and is not under the jurisdiction of the Southern Yabei Division, and only listens to me alone."
Chen Shou bent over with his palms up, and the moment he lowered his head, a trace of pride appeared on his handsome face for the first time. If I take a step back, you will praise me. This time, I can be said to have taken retreat as advance and made use of it to the extreme.
If he opened his mouth to ask for an official as soon as he came up, how could Emperor Yuan be so happy and generous.
His own shackles were all untied by the emperor. Next, it's time to show your strength, Yao Baobao, are you ready?
