Chapter 229: Taming the Mind
In the dormitory of the Liangyi Palace, the pale-faced Gaozong lay down on the wooden couch, and on a hot day, he was covered with a thick brocade carpet, but even so, he still shouted cold from time to time, and his body was trembling like sifting chaff, and his forehead was covered with sweat droplets the size of soybeans, and the painful appearance was obviously that the old disease had recurred, and the room was full of fear, but no one dared to come forward to help one or two, just because the doctor Ming Chongyan, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, stood solemnly on the side of the couch with a solemn face, and chanted words with a spirit, It seems that some mysterious ritual is being prepared, and no one dares to talk nonsense at this time, so they can only look at Gaozong who is humming and chirping.
"Huh!"
After brewing for a long time, Ming Chongyan suddenly snorted lightly, stood with his right hand, and pointed like a sword, and in a shake, dozens of finger shadows had been conjured, and in just a moment, he had connected dozens of Gaozong's acupoints, starting from the tail vertebrae on his back, and all the way to Baihui acupoints, but listening to Gaozong's extremely comfortable moan/moan, the whole person first shrank, and then loosened, and after a long breath, he fell asleep peacefully.
"Hoo ......"
Ming Chongyan exhaled a heavy breath, as soon as this breath came out, the sweat all over his body instantly gushed out, only for a moment, he was already sweating through heavy clothes, handsome to the face of the demon showed a tired look, he didn't care about wiping a handful of sweat, he called a chamberlain to his side, and gave a low order, and then flicked his sleeves, and went out of the dormitory, the image of the master made all the attendants heartbroken, and no one dared to say two words - whenever Gaozong was sick, his temper was dry, and he would severely punish everyone around him, Because of the death, there is no shortage of people, but Ming Chongyan can cure the disease of Gaozong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the great benefactor of a group of close servants, and no one dares not to fear it.
"Caritas Qing, is Your Majesty well?"
As soon as Ming Chongyan and his party left the dormitory, the Empress Wu, who had already led a group of palace maids waiting outside, immediately greeted him, and without waiting for Ming Chongyan to salute, he immediately asked a question.
"If you go back to the queen's mother, Your Majesty is already asleep, and you should not commit it again in a few months."
Ming Chongyan could pretend to be a master in front of the attendants, but he didn't dare to be rude in front of the martial queen, so he hurriedly bowed down and replied respectfully.
"Oh, that's good, there's Lao Aiqing." Hearing that Gaozong was asleep, Empress Wu was obviously relieved, groaned slightly, waved his hand, and motioned for the palace maids who were following him to retreat, and then glanced at Ming Chongyan and said, "Aiqing, come with this palace." ”
"Yes, Wechen obeys."
Ming Chongyan didn't understand the intentions of Empress Wu's move, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only respond respectfully, and followed Empress Wu into the study not far away.
"Chongyan, can Your Majesty's disease be cured?"
Empress Wu walked straight to the back of the desk and sat down, and looked at Ming Chongyan with a solemn face for a while, and then asked softly.
"Back to Niangniang's words, Weichen can only do his best."
As soon as he heard Empress Wu call his name, Ming Chongyan's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he didn't dare to look up at Empress Wu's face, lowered his head, and replied with a slight stammer.
"This palace knows, alas, then there can only be more trouble with Lao Chongyan."
Empress Wu didn't seem to care about Ming Chongyan's panic, sighed, and said something indispensable.
"Wechen will do his best!"
Ming Chongyan's own affairs are clear - whether it is this, or the first two treatments, those god-chattering rituals are actually just tricks, to put it bluntly, it is useless at all, the real effect is only to forcibly dredge Gaozong's blocked brain meridians with internal force, just to treat the symptoms, not to cure the root cause at all, what's more, because of Gaozong's perennial malaise, so strong to go away, I am afraid that there will be a risk of drinking to quench thirst, and under the accumulation of difficulties, Gaozong's body will only get worse and worse, There is even the possibility of becoming a crazy person, which Ming Chongyan knows in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it.
"Well, Chongyan has always been sincere, and this palace can be trusted." Empress Wu seemed to be very satisfied with Ming Chongyan's statement, nodded kindly, and praised it.
"This micro-minister's duty is really not daring to take credit."
Ming Chongyan was obviously not used to calling his name directly after the martial queen, but he didn't dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction, so he could only respond respectfully.
"Duty? Since ancient times, the duty is the most rare, and it is indeed our duty to share worries for the saints, so to speak, the hexagram that Aiqing calculated for the king yesterday is also the duty? Empress Wu glanced at Ming Chongyan meaningfully, and the words suddenly changed, and asked faintly.
"Niangniang, Weichen, Weichen......"
As soon as Empress Wu said this, Ming Chongyan's body suddenly stiffened, and he had the intention to defend himself, but as soon as he saw Empress Wu's perceptive eyes, Ming Chongyan suddenly lost the courage to lie, and his face turned pale, and after trembling a few times, he slowly knelt on the ground, and his brain was blank for a while, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Are you stunned by the Zhao girl, huh? Such a bold man dares to lie and coax the saint, are you really not afraid of death? Empress Wu's eyes were extremely cold, staring at Ming Chongyan, and scolded suspiciously.
"Wechen should be damned, Wechen should be damned!"
Ming Chongyan knew that his mind had completely fallen into the hands of the Empress Wu, and at this moment, he didn't dare to forcibly defend himself, so he could only kowtow and tell Rao.
"Hmph, for the sake of a mere yellow-haired girl, you dare to act so recklessly, ask this palace to say what are you, is that girl of the Zhao family really so charming, huh?" Empress Wu didn't save face for Ming Chongyan at all, and asked relentlessly, but what did this sound like a jealous lover's scolding of Ailang.
"Niangniang, Weichen, Weichen was confused for a while, and he failed Niangniang's hard work, and he would not dare to commit it again, and he was willing to ask Niangniang for forgiveness."
Although Ming Chongyan has always been high and self-appreciative, but because of his appearance, he has always been indispensable to admire people around him, and his knowledge of love matters is not bad.
"That's it, just be even, this palace is too lazy to worry about you, hmph, there will be a next time, see how this palace cleans you up!"
Looking at Ming Chongyan's handsome and incomparable face, Empress Wu's face couldn't help but blush slightly, but she quickly returned to normal, and scolded in disguise, which can be regarded as revealing the matter, and the typical one was raised high and gently put down.
"Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen must remember Niangniang's words."
As long as he was able to get out of the big difficulty, Ming Chongyan didn't care about whether he was tall or not, and after kowtowing, he hurriedly stood up with a grunt, and stood aside with his hands bowed respectfully.
"I heard that the Ministry of Rites has a candidate, saying that Pei Lingling, the daughter of Pei Judao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, is extremely expensive, and she is quite compatible with the prince, and she is a good couple, do you have any opinion on this, huh?" Empress Wu no longer seems to care about Ming Chongyan's bullying of the king, and the conversation changed again and talked about the prince's marriage.
"This ......, please forgive Weichen for being blunt, I'm afraid there is something else wrong with this." Ming Chongyan was uneasy, and he didn't want to make more trouble, but when he saw the gaze of Xu in the late martial arts, he changed his mind again, and after a little silence, he gave a somewhat creepy inference.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Empress Wu did not comment on Ming Chongyan's inference, but smiled encouragingly, and then asked.
"Niangniang Mingjian, Weichen thinks that the efficiency of the Ministry of Rites is too high, I have never seen that group of dirty officials so attentive in the past, and furthermore, General Pei has always been close to Niangniang, and the prince does not seem to be in harmony, the Ministry of Rites actually proposed that his daughter be the princess, if it is not for ulterior motives, I am afraid it is difficult to explain." Now that he has made a start, Ming Chong simply took a horizontal heart and put his thoughts and worries together.
"Well, in your opinion, who did this, and what was their intention?" Empress Wu nodded quietly, and then threw out another question.
"Weichen doesn't dare to judge who is the mastermind, however, his intentions are no more than four words - borrowing a knife to kill!" Ming Chongyan originally wanted to say that this matter was Li Xian's mastermind, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again, after all, he had previously plotted against Zhao Qiong and Li Xian, and at this time, he directly said Li Xian's name, and it was difficult to ensure that he would not be taken as a coercive revenge by the Empress Wu, so he simply resigned vaguely, but he was extremely sure of the intentions behind this move, and vaguely aimed the finger at Li Xian.
"Murder with a knife? Oh, Chongyan is only half right, it is more appropriate to say that it is 'Bian Zhuang Thorn Tiger'. Empress Wu obviously saw far more far-reaching than Ming Chongyan, shook her head gently, and corrected her casually.
"Ah, this ......"
Ming Chongyan can be valued by the Empress Wu, since he is an extraordinary person, after a little thought, he was sweating profusely, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
"In your opinion, how should this palace deal with it?"
Seeing that Ming Chongyan could comprehend the severity of the situation so quickly, the appreciation in the eyes of the Empress Wu suddenly became a little stronger, smiled slightly, stood up, walked in front of Ming Chongyan, and asked with a faint smile.
This question is obviously not so easy to answer, Rao is Ming Chongyan is very intelligent, and he didn't dare to give an answer easily for a while, his brows couldn't help but lock, and after thinking silently for a long time, he replied cautiously: "It's a big matter, and Weichen really doesn't dare to say anything, maybe it's a good idea to plan it." ”
"Well, those who know my heart, Chongyan also, this palace ......" Empress Wu obviously praised Ming Chongyan's strategy very much, smiled and raised his hand to high-five to show his reward, however, perhaps carelessly, when his hand was raised, it hung up on the water sleeve, and his body instantly lost his balance, and under an exclamation, the person had fallen to Ming Chongyan.
"Mother, mother, micro-minister, micro-minister......"
With Ming Chongyan's skills, it is easy to avoid the martial queen's "throwing into his arms", even if he wants to hold the arm of the martial queen, it is not difficult, but Ming Chongyan did not move, let the martial queen fall into his arms, feeling the amazing elasticity from the martial queen's body, Ming Chongyan's body instantly stiffened, stammering and not knowing what to say, and the martial queen didn't seem to hear Ming Chongyan's babbling, just snuggled softly on Ming Chongyan's chest, and for a while silence was better than sound......
