Shen Mo and Li Shizhen followed Li Fang into the Yuxi Palace, and like the previous time, the latter went to see the emperor, and the former rested in the side hall.

Now the entire Yuxi Palace is Chen Hong's people, naturally no one waits for silence, he sits alone in the side hall, and looks around with his spare eyes to see that there is no one, and then puts the wishful box back into the baggage. He treated this great treasure with great care, and his hands tinkered with the burden for a long time before he withdrew his hand and sat there in a precarious position.

After a while, he heard footsteps coming in, and when he saw that it was Chen Hong, he withdrew his gaze and turned a blind eye to it.

Chen Hong took two steps closely, stood in front of Shen Mo, stared at the burden first, then stretched out his finger and pointed at him twice with hatred, and said in a low voice: "You civil officials often say that you have to think twice before acting, Lord Shen knows which three thoughts?" ”

"Shen is stupid," Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, "Please teach Gonggong Chen." ”

Chen Hong thought that he really didn't know, so he pouted and said, "No wonder he is so stunned." He said in a low voice: "Today, we will be a teacher and teach you, what is thinking twice?" It is to think of danger, think of retreat, and think of change! ”

"I see." Shen Mo smiled and said, "What does that mean?" ”

It means that you have to keep your eyes open all the time and see the danger around you, which is called thinking about danger; Knowing the danger and trying to avoid the danger, this is called thinking back; Only by quitting can I have the opportunity to reflect on what I did wrong in the past and what I should do in the future. This is called thinking change! Chen Hong said and sneered: "It's like you, Lord Shen, who has obviously put the knife on your neck, but you still close your eyes and rush forward, do you have to lose your head and hurt your wife, do you know that you regret it?" ”

Shen Mo smiled faintly, looked left and right, and said: "I understand, what Teacher Chen means is that those who know the times are Junjie, right?" ”

"Exactly." Chen Hong lowered his voice and said: "Lan Daoxing is already soft, if you want him to say something, it's not difficult at all." ”

This sentence that is neither yin nor yang exploded in Shen Mo's heart like lightning, and he was stunned at that time, Rao has been practicing meditation for many years, and a trace of panic appeared on his face.

Although it was fleeting, it was keenly captured by Chen Hong, and he smiled proudly: "Do you know that you are afraid? If you know that you are afraid, you can still be saved. From now on, you have to hold your tail, be obedient, and no longer get involved with that Li Fang, let's take your Yangguan Road and I cross my single-plank bridge, how about it? ”

Shen Mo's face changed for a while, and he took a deep breath and said: "What my father-in-law taught me is that a gentleman should seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and I really can't resist you." ”

"Very good, the eldest husband can bend and stretch." In front of the champion father, Chen Hong was addicted to dragging the text, and the proverb jumped out one after another, looking very cultured, and said: "If you know the danger, you can avoid it, and if you hide far away, you can live for a long time." ”

"My father-in-law taught me a lesson." Shen Mo nodded, as if he had completely softened.

Chen Hong couldn't help but feel disdain when he saw it, and said secretly: "These civil officials are thin donkeys pulling hard, and they are blind!" Worse than useless. Then he looked at the Ruyi again and said, "This thing can't be taken out again in the future." ”

"Yes, yes...... Shen Mo nodded again and again, and said: "In order to show my sincerity and let my father-in-law completely rest assured, I think it's better to be like this." As he spoke, he handed the burden to Chen Hongdao with both hands: "Your Majesty promised me a wishful thinking at the beginning, and now that I have used it, I should return it to Your Majesty, so it is better to ask my father-in-law to forward it." ”

Chen Hong agreed when he heard this: "It makes sense. As he spoke, he reached out to get the burden, and when he was about to run into it, he stopped again and said, "This is not good, what if the emperor thinks that our family is troublesome?" ”

Shen Mo was not in a hurry, and said: "I won't tell you, this kind of important weapon of the country is kept at home, but I am afraid, and I am afraid that my life is too thin to bear such a heavy thing, and what trouble will I cause......" said with a resolute face: "Anyway, I don't plan to ask for it today, if you don't help, then I will ask Gonggong Li to forward it later." ”

"Don't mind." As soon as Chen Hong heard this, he was afraid that the scheming Li Fang would use this thing to cause something wrong, so he finally reached out and grabbed the burden, took it and lifted the burden skin, and saw that it was the topaz Ruyi who was good, so he said: "The treasures of this heavenly family really can't stay in your courtier's house anymore, it's just that, our family will be tired and run errands, and I will forward it to you." ”

"Father-in-law Xie......" was silently relieved and grateful, he was really relieved and grateful, although he had planned to act at the opportunity, but if Chen Hong hadn't taken the initiative to come up, I really didn't know if I could find an opportunity to hand this hot potato out.

How could Chen Hong have thought that he had received a fatal bomb? He hurriedly went out with his baggage, handed it to Eunuch Fang on the side, and said: "Take it to the prison and lock it first, I have to go to the Jingshe to keep an eye on it, in case the emperor wakes up, if Li Fang is by his side, it will be troublesome." ”

"Daddy, go ahead." Eunuch Fang lowered his eyebrows and took it with his hands, and carefully carried it to the celebrant eunuch, and Chen Hong naturally entered the fine house.

In the house, Emperor Jiajing, the Supreme Loyal and Filial Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was wearing only a dragon underwear, with a bare torso and limbs, lying quietly on the dragon bed, without the majesty of the emperor at all.

Li Shizhen sat beside the emperor, holding a lit moxa velvet, wandering, cauterizing, and warming in several large acupoints around Emperor Jiajing's body, using the gentle heat of moxibustion fire and the effect of medicine to warm the emperor's qi and blood, and help correct and dispel evil.

Li Fang on the side watched worriedly, lest Li Shizhen accidentally burn the emperor's dragon body, which would be a big trouble.

Li Shizhen was bold and bold, and he didn't feel any difference between the dragon body and the body of ordinary people, and while giving Jiajing moxibustion, he reprimanded Li Fang and said: "I told you a long time ago that you have to stop taking those pills, otherwise it will be in vain for Hua Tuo to be reborn, why don't you listen to it." As soon as he looked at the red spots on Emperor Jiajing's body, he knew that the emperor was still taking those 'elixirs': "If I come one step later, you will prepare...... Let's do it! ”

When Li Fang heard this, he looked at the emperor in a coma, and stopped talking, obviously afraid that the emperor would hear it.

"Don't worry, you can't hear me." Li Shizhen said lightly: "Everyone has fainted, how can they hear it." ”

Li Fang smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Li, it's not that our family hasn't persuaded the master, but the master is used to being arbitrary, and he has taken pills for decades, but it doesn't mean that he can stop it." ”

Li Shizhen snorted coldly when he heard this: "Erysipelas has invaded the internal organs, if you don't stop taking the medicine, it will soon invade the bone marrow, and only the elixir can really save it." ”

Li Fang was so frightened that his old face turned pale and said, "Then when the emperor wakes up, you can help persuade him." He said, "But now, please find a way to save the master first." ”

"Didn't I already prescribe a prescription?" Li Shizhen said: "Have you done it well?" ”

"Huh?" Li Fang opened her mouth wide and said, "That's the recipe you prescribed, I thought it was the dish you ordered." "After Li Shizhen saw the emperor, he prescribed a prescription of 'one pound of bamboo shoots, accompanied by crucian carp to make thick soup, once in the morning and once in the evening, taking three days, fasting honey and croton', Li Fang is also half a doctor, and he doesn't feel like a prescription for curing diseases after reading it, so he pondered that Li Shizhen was hungry and wanted to prepare breakfast for him.

"That's the prescription." Li Shizhen said angrily: "Who told you that the ingredients can't be used medicinally?" ”

Li Fang knows that the bamboo shoots are also called bamboo shoots and mushroom vegetables, which are the folk bamboo shoots, and their surnames are sweet, cold, and slippery, and I haven't heard of any medicinal uses, not to mention crucian carp, there are this in the rivers in the north and south, and it is used to promote milk for mothers He has heard of it, as for this thing, can it be cured? He didn't know anything about it...... If it weren't for Li Shizhen's fame, he really had to wonder if the other party would see a doctor.

But the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the words of Doctor Li, Li Fang did not dare not listen to it. At this time, the small kitchen also made the white crucian carp soup, he thought about it, the taste of the kitchen must not be wrong, but the efficacy is not guaranteed, and asked the imperial doctor who was squatting in Yuxi Palace to redo it exactly according to the prescription prescribed by Li Shizhen.

The imperial doctor took the prescription, but he also disagreed, and said, "What kind of home remedy is this?" ”

Li Shizhen was most unhappy with these people, glanced at them and said: "Mr. Su Song of the Northern Song Dynasty and Mr. Tibetan Ware of the Tang Dynasty both said that this can cure the poison of Danshi, or I read it from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Tai Hospital, you should also know the origin of this medicinal material, right?" ”

Hearing him say this, several old imperial doctors blushed, and refused to admit that they were lonely, and they all hummed and said: "I've heard of it, but the ancient recipes are complicated and have not been verified, who dares to use it on the emperor's golden body?" ”

"It doesn't matter what the materials are, what can cure the disease is good medicine." Li Shizhen had no interest in debating, said lightly, lowered his head, and continued to give the emperor acupuncture.

What else did the imperial doctors want to say, but Li Fang was so angry that he stomped his feet and said, "Isn't it just fried crucian carp in white sauce?" Even if it doesn't work, it should be used to make up for the emperor's body," he said, almost pushing the imperial doctors to walk out: "Hurry up and get it, take it for three days first, and if it doesn't work, change to other medicines." ”

Although the imperial doctors were not convinced, but this was for the emperor's treatment, no one dared to be sloppy, and they fried the 'medicinal soup' in double doses, that is, with two catties of white and double crucian carp, stewed in a large pot. This is the rule of the palace, all medicines must be decocted in two doses in one, and then divided into two parts, one dose is taken by the imperial doctor who prescribes the prescription, or the eunuch who decoctions the medicine, and the other dose is used by the emperor.

But because this medicine is relatively special, the doctors didn't bother Li Shizhen, so they divided the share.

When I gave the emperor the share, I brought it over in a big bowl, and I saw that Emperor Jiajing had been woken up by Li Shizhen's moxibustion, but the shape was like a withered tree, and his face was like gold paper, and he looked like he was not far away.

When Emperor Jiajing woke up, Chen Hong and Li Fang suddenly grabbed in front of Li Shizhen, tried their best to put the old face that did not grow a beard in front of the emperor, and said in unison with tears and surprise: "Master, you have finally woken up...... But the slave and maid are worried to death. ”

Li Shizhen looked stupid, he didn't know where Chen Hong came from, and he didn't know where Li Fang was seventy years old, where did he come from such a fast speed, but he also had to sigh that the two of them could become the king of eunuchs, and it was really not a waste of fame.

The two eunuchs who were still in the power of fire and water, from the moment the emperor opened his eyes, became low-eyed and pleasing at the same time, and cooperated seamlessly, I saw Li Fang gently help the emperor up, Chen Hong took two pillows, one large and one small, cushioned the back of Emperor Jiajing, and said softly: "Master, take medicine." ”

Jiajing frowned slightly, spit out a word, and said: "Bitter ......" shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to eat it.

"This is definitely not bitter, it's okay." Li Fang took the large porcelain bowl in the hands of the imperial physician and brought the fish soup to Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing hadn't eaten for several days, as soon as he smelled the fragrance of the fish soup, there was a roar in his abdomen, and he didn't care about being embarrassed, his eyes lit up and said: "Drink ......" Li Fang tried the temperature to be just right, and then scooped it with a spoon and sent it to Jiajing's mouth, only to see that the emperor drank faster and faster, and finally simply picked up the bowl, drank it to the bottom, and then looked at the bottom of the bowl, showing displeasure on his face.

Li Fang and the imperial physicians looked at the emperor with bated breath and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" ”

Jiajing handed the bowl to Li Fang, shook his head and said, "What about the fish?" ”

'Hey ......' everyone made a false alarm, and Li Fang couldn't help but laugh and said: "The crucian carp has many bones, I'm afraid of getting stuck with the emperor." He changed the topic and said, "Master, what do you think?" ”

"Lighten a little...... Jiajing smacked her lips, slowly leaned on the pillow, her eyes swept over everyone, and asked Li Fang, "Why am I so uncomfortable?" Can't lift up the slightest energy in your body? ”

Li Fang said cautiously: "Back to the master, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and your body is naturally unfavorable, so it will be fine in a while." ”

"I'm sick? Why is it sick? Jiajing first muttered, and then connected with the memories before the coma, and then burst into tears: "Did Lu Taibao really go, isn't it a joke with me?" ”

Li Fang said softly: "Master, Mr. Li said, you have to keep your mood calm now, you can't be angry or sad, the master must put the dragon body first." ”

Jiajing nodded, slowly closed his eyes and said, "But as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw my grandmother brother covered in blood, standing in front of me, and said to me: 'I died so miserably, I died so unjustly......" said with a face full of pain: "How do you make me feel at ease?" In fact, when the news of Lu Bing's death came, Jiajing thought that there was something wrong with the elixir he gave him, which killed his grandmother brother, so the self-blame in his heart was very strong...... When people are old, they are more emotional than when they were young, and for Lu Bing, a partner he has known since birth, he is much heavier than his children and concubines, and even his closest relatives and closest friends.

But now, the only relative and best friend is dead, and he killed him with his own hands, how can you make the old emperor embarrassed, lying on the bed and sighing for a long time...... If it weren't for Li Shizhen's timely acupuncture, he would even vomit.

"I can see it," Li Fang said softly: "Master, this is actually mostly a heart disease, if you don't untie this heart knot, all the medicine will work." As he spoke, he looked at Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen shook his head and said, "I am a doctor who heals the body, but I don't know how to heal the heart." After a pause, he said: "But before I came, I said silently that he has one thing, and if the emperor sees it, it should be better." ”

"What's that?" Jiajing focused and said, "Where is he?" ”

Li Fang said: "I'm waiting outside, do I want you to come in?" ”

"Xuan!" Jiajing nodded.

Shen Mo wore a white hat on his head, and his official uniform was covered with a white shirt, and he walked into the retreat with his head down, and without looking up at the emperor, he lay on the ground and cried.

Hearing his cry, Emperor Jiajing felt even more uncomfortable. Seeing that the emperor's eyes were red and he shook his head slowly, Chen Hong complained: "Is this to make the master feel better?" This is adding to the blockage of the master! He doesn't know what it means to build empathy, and when two people have the same emotions about the same thing, it's easy to empathize with each other, and then look at each other very well.

Li Fang had no choice but to remind: "Lord Shen, don't cry, the master is just right, but you can't be excited." ”

Shen Mo hurriedly stopped crying, but his face was still full of tears: "Please forgive the emperor, Wechen is a senior brother in the world, and the senior brother is also a junior brother of mine, who has always taken care of Wechen, earnestly taught, and mentioned his life, both like a brother and a father, who knows that the sky has no eyes, and the senior brother was killed by the annihilation. "In his heart, Lu Bing secretly prayed to the heavens: 'My senior brother, although these words are a bit exaggerated, but they are not complete nonsense, don't blame you in the spirit of heaven, bless me to pass this level...... and then threatened with his surname: 'Otherwise, if I am finished, your son's family, and Jinyiwei's brother, who will protect me?'

As if prayer had worked, Jiajing also burst into tears, and suddenly felt like a confidant, and said to Chen Hong: "Quickly help Lord Shen up and sit down." ”

Chen Hong had no choice but to bow his head and say softly, "Lord Shen is light." As he spoke, he helped him up and pressed him on an embroidery pier, and only the two of them could hear the voice, gritted his teeth and said: "Think twice, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Shen Mo looked at him expressionlessly, gestured and said, "You can't care!" ’
