Chapter Ninety-Nine: Playing Chess with King Rui
"It's also His Highnesses who praised it. Although Xin Yan has dabbled in medical skills, it is impossible to compare it with Tai Hospital. At most, Xin Yan knows some remote prescriptions and likes those incurable diseases. Xin Yan said slowly:
"That day in the paddock, I felt that the emperor's face was not good, but things were messy at that time, and seeing that the emperor was in good health, he didn't say it. When the emperor returned, he fell ill. Only then did I inquire about the emperor's illness and conclude it. Coincidentally, the medicine that Xin Yan dedicated to the emperor was also unintentionally obtained by me before, and I saw that it was also the emperor's blessing. ”
Regarding Xin Yan's statement, they obviously don't believe it very much. They didn't think that Xin Yan could settle down beside Emperor Chengwu, so after thinking about it carefully, there was only this explanation.
And they were right.
The reason why Xin Yan knew about Emperor Chengwu's illness was also a coincidence.
It is well known that Emperor Chengwu took the pill, but now people are completely ignorant of the consequences of this so-called pill.
I think this pill is a good thing and can prolong life.
Otherwise, there would not be so many emperors who are eager for him.
However, although many people do not know the consequences of taking the pill at this time, it does not mean that no one knows.
Most of these people are alchemists, and there are some advanced imperial doctors, so they may be able to see that some of the drugs contained in the pills are harmful to people's bodies.
But even if they knew, they couldn't tell Emperor Chengwu.
These pills are practiced by alchemists, how can they smash their own jobs, and the same is true for the imperial doctor, at this time, Emperor Chengwu relied on the pills to make dragons and tigers, if he told Emperor Chengwu that these pills were harmful, could he believe it?
Maybe they will lose their lives because of this, after all, their emperor is not an empathetic emperor.
Since no one said it, Emperor Chengwu would also continue to take it.
This kind of pill is good to take in a small amount of time for a while, and the damage to the body will not be great.
However, Emperor Chengwu took it all the year round, and it was a variety of different pills, and his body was already in tatters, and he could die at any time.
So after coming back from the paddock, he fell ill, and Xin Yan could probably guess what was going on.
The body has been weak for a long time, and I have experienced such a thing as "forcing the uterus" all of a sudden, and my spirit is highly concentrated and my body is tense.
When I returned to the palace, my nerves relaxed all of a sudden, and my body functions weakened, so it was strange that I was not sick now.
Of course, Emperor Chengwu's condition, the imperial doctor can't see it. After consuming the pill for so long, he would have been poisoned a long time ago.
However, these "chronic poisons" have long penetrated deep into the internal organs, and according to the current medical technology, they cannot be seen at all, so they can only be messed up.
However, the medicine that Xin Yan dedicated to Emperor Chengwu does not mean that Emperor Chengwu will be fine. There is no such effective drug in this world.
Any medicine needs to be consumed gradually in order to be fully effective.
But it's a pity that Xin Yan only has one copy of this medicine, although Emperor Chengwu has improved after using it, but if Emperor Chengwu still can't do without the pill in the future, then his ending will still be the same.
Of course, Xin Yan wouldn't tell him that Xin Yan wouldn't do this kind of thankless thing.
If she hadn't had a purpose, she wouldn't have saved Emperor Chengwu, for her, Emperor Chengwu was to blame, even if she died, it was his life.
It's just that he can't have an accident now, and if something happens, Gyeonggi will be in chaos, and I don't know what variables will happen to her plan at that time......
So, your life, just stay for a while.
Now that Xin Yan has also explained, it is not good for King Liang to continue to pursue it.
If there were only two people present, he and Xin Yan would have said a few more words, but now there are still King Qi and King Rui here......
King Qi is okay, he doesn't care about the affairs of the court all day long, even if he hears something, he may not understand.
But this is not necessarily the case with King Rui. If he grabbed the slightest bit of his handle, he would definitely be crushed to suppress him.
In his eyes, the only threat now is King Rui, and he doesn't care about other princes.
King Rui saw that King Liang had nothing to say, and felt bored in his heart. Why did these three brothers die down?
She had a really good impression of Xin Yan, so she was also very satisfied with Xin Yan's answer to King Liang just now.
For those ordinary young ladies, when they are questioned, they may be so nervous that they can't speak, and between their eyebrows, they may secretly send Qiu Bo, making him look down.
So now Xin Yan is like this, which is exactly what King Rui wants. There was neither deliberate flattery nor cowardice towards King Liang.
looked indifferent, so he was in a good mood.
So at this time, he rarely said: "Where did this girl Shuyi go, she hasn't come back for so long." ”
Then he turned the topic back to Xin Yan: "I've been standing here for a long time, Miss Xin does you mind if this king goes to ask for a glass of water?" ”
There was just water and snacks on the gazebo, and then there was a chessboard on the stone table.
Where can Xin Yan refuse, this is the palace, and she has no rights.
Strike a posture of please.
King Rui was very satisfied, and then looked at King Liang and King Qi and said, "Are the third brother and the fourth brother together?" "You are at your own convenience, not reluctantly.
King Liang didn't want to stay here, but at the touch of King Rui's eyes, there was also the attitude of the person he liked.
King Liang felt that it was better not to let her be alone with King Rui if he didn't know if Xin Yan knew the identities of those who went to assassinate.
So he didn't leave either.
And King Qi didn't care, he also stayed.
Looking at the chessboard on the stone table, Xin Yan suddenly invited: "His Royal Highness King Rui is interested in playing a game of chess with Xin Yan?" ”
The three of them were a little surprised, judging from the exchange just now, Xin Yan was in a passive position.
She answered whatever they asked, and it was the first time she took the initiative to speak out.
However, King Rui was also curious that she could play chess as a businessman, so he agreed to her.
The pavilion is not enclosed, and sometimes there are palace maids and eunuchs passing by not far away, so there is no need to be afraid of being gossiped.
That's why Xin Yan invited him out.
King Rui held the black son, Xin Yan held the white son, and the two began to fight.
At the beginning, they were still very relaxed, and they didn't use all their strength. After all, the opponent is a woman, and if he goes all out, won't people think that he is bullying women?
So King Rui didn't take it very seriously. It wasn't long before he felt that the situation on the chessboard was a little different. In other words, his side was suppressed to death.
King Rui was shocked, and finally saw that Xin Yan was not the kind of simple woman, she could play chess.
Playing chess is the best way to see a person's temperament. At first, Xin Yan also saw King Rui's contempt, but she was not angry, so she waited for the next game to be laid out slowly, so that King Rui fell into danger.
By the time King Rui came back to his senses, he had already lost more than half of his chess pieces.
At this moment, King Rui couldn't help but be surprised, and the other two also looked sideways. You must know that although King Rui did not use all his strength at the beginning, but in the back, he had already mustered up twelve points of spirit to deal with it, but in the end, he still did this, losing most of the Jiangshang.
Most of the chess pieces on it are Xin Yan's white pieces, and the black pieces occupy a small half of the place, and they really look lonely.
Playing chess also pays attention to strategy, and the next step is to know where to play next, but this Xin Yan has already done a good job of a game, waiting for King Rui to plant his head. Even if he woke up in time, he would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
This strategy amazed them.
At this point, even King Rui couldn't help but look at Xin Yan again, this woman is really unusual. At least there are few people who can make him suffer a big loss in chess.
King Rui is not a person who wants to save face, he can always bend and stretch. He also saw that if he continued like this, he would only lose even more, so he would directly disarm and surrender now.
"Miss Xin is really an eye-opener for this king!" Rui Wang Road.
Xin Yan was not cowardly, so he happily said: "It was the prince who accepted it." ”
Rui Wang knew that she was saying kind words, but she was also satisfied, and when she said this, it also showed that she was a person with vision.
"I didn't expect Miss Xin to not only have attainments in medical skills, but also to be so good at chess." Rui Wang said.
Xin Yan smiled: "Xin Yan just likes to tinker with things by himself, and he can't be idle." If you have nothing to do in the past, you will find something to do. But I can't afford to be a scholar, just a little dabbling. ”
The three of them and Xin Yan here seem to be happy, and the atmosphere is unusually harmonious.
But the things they thought about in their hearts were not so harmonious......
Suddenly, Xin Yan saw Princess Shuyi coming over with a scary look, and her face was still anxious.
At this time, Xin Yan could see at once that under her anxious expression, there was a hidden calculation.
Xin Yan thought, this is finally here.
Then she looked behind her and saw a familiar figure, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Then he returned his gaze to Princess Shuyi.
Xin Yan thought: Shuyi, Shuyi, if you have any tricks, use them quickly.
Shuyi looked at it from a distance and also saw Xin Yan. It's just that she didn't expect King Liang and others to be here.
As soon as he retreated, he was persuaded by Xia Zhu.
That's right! King Liang didn't know about it, so why should she be afraid!
Maybe even if they knew, they wouldn't help outsiders bully her sister.
Now I was bold again. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's King Liang, King Rui, or King Qi. will not be biased towards Xin Yan, a businesswoman, how to say that she is still a princess of a country.
If they are biased, she will complain to her father!
There was a lot of movement when they came, and the people in the pavilion were all attracted to it.
Then King Rui said loudly: "Where have you been, you have invited people, but you yourself don't know where to go!" ”
Faced with the questioning of the person in the first sentence of King Rui, Shuyi was in a very bad mood.
Although King Rui's tone was joking, he still didn't expect Princess Shuyi to think like this, he was really wronged!
Instead, King Liang said: "Why are you in such a hurry, what happened?" ”
Hearing King Liang's question about her, Princess Shuyi's face was much better.
At least she cares about what happened to her, not like King Rui!
