After waiting for a long time, an attendant walked to the gate of the palace and led Li Zhongyi in.

This palace is actually the private residence of the former richest man in Xiongzhou, and after Chai Rong's Northern Expedition captured Xiongzhou, it became a temporary palace.

Li Zhongyi walked on the path of birds and flowers, but he had no intention of enjoying the elegant scenery, and he wondered in his heart: What disease did Chai Rong have? Is there any salvation?

Turning the corridor, Li Zhongyi was taken to the door of Chai Rong's dormitory, and the chamberlain arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty summoned Counselor Li alone, please go in." ”

Li Zhongyi walked into the dormitory, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of medicine. Li Zhongyi's nose has always been very sensitive, and he can distinguish several precious medicinal materials from the smell of medicine wafting in the air, the first of which is the century-old Korean ginseng.

cough, even Korean ginseng has been used, but it is conceivable that Chai Rong is indeed very sick.

At this time, a wide bright yellow gauze curtain completely blocked Li Zhongyi's sight, and he hurriedly bent down and bowed, and said respectfully: "Minister Li Zhongyi knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhongyi waited for a while, but he never heard Chai Rong's voice, so he had to continue to bend over and maintain a state of saluting.

"No blame, you're finally here." After waiting for about a cup of tea, Chai Rong's voice finally reached Li Zhongyi's ears.

Chai Rong's voice was unusually weak, with weak qi and insufficient qi.

Li Zhongyi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister is late." He deliberately said very vaguely, and he didn't dare to say too directly about the emperor's medical treatment.

"No blame, I ...... I'm afraid it won't work......" Chai Rong's words made Li Zhongyi's heart slam. He didn't have time to think about it, so he said it immediately. "Why did you say that? Weichen is not talented, want to knock on the dragon vein? ”

Maybe I heard Li Zhongyi's words with a trill. Chai Rong, who was behind the curtain, was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I can't regret it, I actually believed the words of Fang Shiyedao, I wanted to live forever, but I was infected with erysipelas......"

I see! Li Zhongyi suddenly became enlightened, in history, when Chai Rong died, he was not yet forty years old.

The Chai family was in the middle of the road back then. Chai Rong was favored by Queen Chai and adopted as an adopted son. Because Guo Wei was only a middle- and lower-level officer at that time, his status was not obvious, and his family was in dire straits.

As an adopted son, Chai Rong was forced to go south and north to do business to supplement his family. He sold grain, military supplies, and even illicit salt for a while.

So. Chai Rong's previous physical condition was actually not bad.

Li Zhongyi has never figured out why Chai Rong died young, now. The answer has been revealed, and it turned out to be an elixir.

The ancients made alchemy, mercury and lead and other heavy metal materials. Absolutely necessary. Heavy metal poisoning to the current rudimentary medical conditions. Absolutely incurable.

It's just that Li Zhongyi still has something unclear. He bears the name of an immortal disciple, since Chai Rong wants to take pills, why don't he look for him?

However, now is not the time to ponder this, Li Zhongyi fell to the ground in a panic, and pleaded with Chai Rong in a mournful voice: "Your Majesty, I still have some confidence in the way of medical skills." Weichen wanted to ask the dragon vein to take a look, but if His Majesty didn't agree, the minister would rather kneel and die here. ”

"Well, well." Chai Rong hesitated for a long time, and finally reluctantly agreed to Li Zhongyi's request.

Li Zhongyi got up and carefully lifted the bright yellow curtain, but saw that the dragon bed was also covered with a bright yellow silk curtain, and a dry left hand stretched out of the bed tremblingly.

Ho, Li Zhongyi suddenly realized that the withered hand was so hanging, and he almost screamed!

"Respectfully, please dragon vein." Li Zhongyi forcibly suppressed his feelings, deliberately trembled his right hand, and caught Chai Rong's wrist vein.

This one took the pulse, and Li Zhongyi's heart slammed into a sudden attack, good guy, this is a terminally ill ominous omen.

Li Zhongyi didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to say cautiously: "The dragon body of His Majesty is mainly overworked, coupled with the invasion of external evils, and the two evils go together, it seems to be more strict......"

After Li Zhongyi searched his intestines and weaved a lot of words of relief, Chai Rong said weakly: "Li Wuyi, you don't talk nonsense, how long do I have left?" ”

Unless Li Zhongyi is a fool with a brain in water, otherwise, how dare he tell Emperor Sù, your old man has no days to live?

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much, Rong Chen prescribes a few prescriptions, changes them, and slowly recuperates the dragon body......" Li Zhongyi has been a royal doctor, so he naturally knows the standard saying of perfunctory royalty.

It's just that Chai Rong obviously didn't believe Li Zhongyi's words of relief, and after he sighed faintly, he said: "I know my own body, I know it in my heart, Li Qing, don't lie anymore, let me be relieved." ”

Chai Rong's words seem to be nothing, but in fact, they imply accusations against Li Zhongyi, which means to say: I have fallen to this step, do you dare to lie?

Li Zhongyi and Chai Rong have dealt with him countless times, and he knows very well in his heart that any emperor who takes pills and expects him to live forever will never be able to watch himself die in pain.

"Your Majesty, the minister's prescription is divided into morning, noon and evening, and the medicine he drinks is different every time......" Li Zhongyi didn't dare to say it at all.

Because, judging from the pulse, Chai Rong was poisoned with mercury, lead and tin at the same time, and with the current rudimentary medical conditions, even if Li Zhongyi prescribed a prescription, it would only last for two months at most.

More than two months later, anything can happen, how dare Li Zhongyi pack a ticket?

"Your Majesty, ......" Li Zhongyi still wanted to continue to comfort Chai Rong, but Chai Rong had already waved his dry hand and said with difficulty: "Li Wuyi, I have already seen your recital." I was ...... before The purple and gold waist card given to you is much more authoritative than Shuaijie, you can arrange it yourself. ”

Li Zhongyi still wanted to persuade again, but Chai Rong had already spoken out and started to drive people away, "You should step down, I'm tired." ”

The more seriously ill the person, the more suspicious he became, Li Zhongyi was helpless, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to kneel on the ground, knock his head a few times, and then turn around and leave the emperor's temporary bedroom.

As soon as Li Zhongyi's left foot crossed the threshold, he saw Zhao Kuangyin holding his hands behind his back and circling around the dormitory.

"Brother Yuen Long, how can this be?" Li Zhongyi didn't know how much Zhao Lao Er knew, so he deliberately asked him vaguely.

Zhao Kuangyin rubbed his hands, his face was solemn, he looked extremely worried, he sighed for a while, and then whispered: "Your Majesty suddenly fell ill, after the imperial doctor Xuan entered the palace for diagnosis and treatment, but none of them were allowed to leave the palace, the foolish brother was so anxious to die, but he didn't know what happened to His Majesty's sick body." ”

Is this about to get to the bottom? Li Zhongyi secretly raised his vigilance in his heart, but his face was neither revealing nor dewy, he frowned, and said, "Your Majesty is too tired, it's all the incompetence of us courtiers." ”

Zhao Kuangyin rubbed his hands for a while, his honest face showed an anxious expression, and he suddenly whispered to Li Zhongyi: "The Khitans on the other side may have noticed something unusual, recently, their troops and horses have been mobilized very frequently. (To be continued......)

PS: There is at least one more, please pay attention to the brothers!
