Cinnabar is acting on the central nervous system, which is a calming drug, mainly for the treatment of restlessness, palpitations and insomnia, and is very helpful for Wu Meiniang's sadness and anxiety. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info taken in the early stage, the effect will naturally be obvious, but cinnabar can not be taken for a long time, otherwise it will accumulate poisoning, and the ancients did not know this, what he wants is this effect, in the future, Wu Meiniang died of cinnabar poisoning, and no one will suspect that it was caused by this medicine. I don't suspect him.

Xianyun took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him: "This is what Mingkong asked me to give you." ”

Zuo Shaoyang took it and took a look, there was nothing on the envelope, but it was thick, I was afraid that there were dozens of pages. I thought to myself, where did this Wu Meiniang come from to write so many meaty words?

Zuo Shaoyang took Xianyun to meet his family and introduced Xianyun's identity. Qiao Qiaoer and the others heard that it was Zuo Shaoyang's sister, and they were a little nervous, but when they saw that it was a monk, and there was no such thing as flirting with Zuo Shaoyang, it was confirmed that it was a real sister, not a love sister. So I was relieved. After the family was very affectionate to her. Dragged her to the backyard to talk.

Zuo Shaoyang ordered to prepare a donkey, and with the letter in his arms, he rode the donkey into the palace and came to the prince's east palace.

Since she has already started to poison Wu Meiniang, she will die sooner or later anyway, and her letter does not have to be a ghost, although she sincerely helps them, so that it will not arouse the suspicion of the two.

He is now free to enter and leave the palace, without having to search his body, of course, only during the day, and he is still not called to enter after dark.

He rode a donkey to the East Palace and reported it in. The crown prince and the crown princess Zuo Wenzhi greeted them in person. Although Li Zhi is now the crown prince, Zuo Shaoyang is now the emperor's senior brother and his Taishan boss, so he doesn't dare to take a fight.

Zuo Shaoyang asked the prince to retreat left and right, even his daughter Zuo Wenzhi retreated, there were only two people left in the house, the prince was very strange, and when Zuo Shaoyang took out Wu Meiniang's letter, the prince opened it and saw that it was a letter from his lover Wu Meiniang, his whole body was shocked, and he couldn't help but blush, and his eyes were full of horror.

It's no wonder that he fornicated with his father's concubine, if Li Shimin knew about it, the position of the crown prince would be difficult to protect, and even his small life might not be able to be kept. He was originally a cowardly man, and when he held the letter, he was so frightened that his face was pale, and he trembled. Finally, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground with a bang: "Father-in-law spare his life!" I, I don't dare anymore......" kowtowed.

Zuo Shaoyang was a little funny, the dignified prince, he should have kowtowed to him by himself, but now he kowtowed to himself in turn, which is really a trick. hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "The prince doesn't have to be like this. Don't worry, I'm not here to ask for sin! ”

As soon as he heard this, the prince seemed to have grabbed a straw from a drowning man, and looked at Zuo Shaoyang in surprise and joy: "Father-in-law, ...... this?" ”

"When I married my daughter to you, I didn't know that you had such a relationship with a martial artist. Later, Wu Cairen fell ill, begged me, and told the truth, and I found out. I'm not an old-fashioned person, the crown prince will inherit the throne in the future, and the emperor has seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, and it is impossible to guard only one of my daughters. I see that the martial arts people miss you and become depressed, and I can't bear it, and I am willing to help you have a lover and eventually become a family. There is only one purpose, I hope you will be better to Wenzhi in the future. ”

The crown prince Li Zhi's forehead was dripping with cold sweat: "Father-in-law, don't worry, if I treat Wenzhi badly at all, God will punish him!" ”

The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and the crown prince is the future Son of Heaven, and he swears by "Heavenly Punishment", which is the heaviest oath.

Zuo Shaoyang nodded with satisfaction: "Then I will rest assured, I will help you keep this matter confidential, you read the letter first, write a reply letter after reading it, and I will hand it over to Wucairen for you." Now I'm going to see my daughter. ”

"Yes, thank you, father-in-law!" The prince was afraid to send Zuo Shaoyang to the door, and when he saw him leaving, he closed the door and hurriedly read the letter.

In the letter, Wu Meiniang complained about the pain of lovesickness, and said that Zuo Shaoyang cured her of a serious illness and was willing to help them, and she had recognized Zuo Shaoyang as her father.

Li Zhi looked at it, sad and happy, ashamed and grateful, sat down after the dragon case, and wrote a reply.

Zuo Shaoyang talked with his daughter Zuo Wenzhi in the house, and asked the prince how he treated her, and said that it was very good, but the prince often sighed for a long time, and for some reason, Zuo Shaoyang naturally knew that it was for Wu Meiniang. He relieved her that she was fine. Thinking that there is hope for the two of them in this matter, the prince's mood should slowly improve.

However, after the emperor practiced the spell of prolonging life, his health was very good, and the crown prince was going to inherit the throne, and he didn't know that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. But the emperor intended to let the prince participate in politics, but he was stopped by himself, and after Wu Meiniang died, this matter could be brought up again, the prince ascended the throne, his daughter was the queen, and he became the ruler of the country.

The prince wrote the letter, came to the house, and saw his wife Zuo Wenzhi talking and laughing happily with his father-in-law Zuo Shaoyang, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, pretending to hold Zuo Wenzhi's slender waist, and praising his wife's virtuous and virtuous virtues to Zuo Shaoyang. made Zuo Wenzhi blush.

When sending Zuo Shaoyang out, the prince quietly gave the letter to Zuo Shaoyang. Zuo Shaoyang returned to the pharmacy and quietly gave the letter to Xianyun. Xianyun took his leave and left.

In this way, Zuo Shaoyang became the Hongyan biography of Wu Meiniang and the prince, and the two were a little worried about whether Zuo Shaoyang had another purpose at first, but after a period of time, nothing happened, and the two of them were very safe to transmit messages through Zuo Shaoyang. There was no mistake. During this period, the two also had a few trysts privately, which was also arranged by Zuo Shaoyang. It's very proper. Only then did the two believe that Zuo Shaoyang was really helping them, and they couldn't help but be grateful, and privately said that if they could get what they wanted in the future, they would treat Zuo Wenzhi well and reward this magnanimous and helpful good doctor.

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is the golden autumn of October.

In the past six months, Wu Meiniang insisted on taking cinnabar powder every day, and the symptoms of chronic accumulation poisoning began to appear, with a metallic taste in the mouth, salivation, congestion and ulcers of the oral mucosa, swollen and painful gums, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, tremors in the fingers, and blood in the urine.

When Zuo Shaoyang found out that Wu Meiniang was poisoned, before she could find herself for treatment, Zuo Shaoyang went to the palace to see Emperor Li Shimin.

The emperor has been practicing that technique for more than half a year, and not only has the original poisoning of his body been cleared, but he is also light and healthy, and his spirit is refreshed. Many things in the court were handed over to the eldest grandson Wuji and other ministers, and he spent half of his time on cultivating the Tao, not only reading the Taoist books in the palace carefully, but also inviting a number of famous Taoist masters to talk about the scriptures and the Tao throughout the whole day.

When Zuo Shaoyang was looking for him, he was reading Taoist classics in the library pavilion. Hearing the report, Zuo Shaoyang asked to see him, and hurriedly called him.

Zuo Shaoyang came in, and the emperor said, "Senior brother is here!" ”

"Hmm," Zuo Shaoyang twisted his black beard angrily, looked the emperor up and down, and shook his head.

The emperor was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did Senior Brother shake his head?" ”

"Your Returning to the Void and Vomiting Technique has reached a bottleneck, if you don't adjust your cultivation technique, it will be difficult to make progress."

The emperor also felt that no matter how much he concentrated on his cultivation, he seemed to be stagnant, and he was also a little depressed, and he thought that he couldn't work hard, so he hid in the library and wanted to find answers from the classics. Now listening to Zuo Shaoyang's words, he dared to reach the bottleneck, and hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, what is the way to break through the bottleneck?" ”

"Go into the mountains and cultivate!" Zuo Shaoyang twisted his beard and said, "I said before that once a year, one month at a time, and it must be penance, so that you can break through the bottleneck." ”

"Into the mountains to cultivate?" The emperor nodded slowly, "It's just that there are many state affairs, and I can't get out." ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "It's okay, anyway, the emperor practiced this technique, just to cure the disease, and now that the disease has been cured, it doesn't matter if this technique has not progressed." It's a big deal to live for 100 years. Anyway, it should be okay to live past 100 years old. ”

"That's not going to work!" The emperor hurriedly said, "I'll go into the mountain with you to cultivate!" ”

In the past, the emperor's thirst for power was the greatest, but after more than 20 years as an emperor, when the imperial power was stable, he reached old age, and the thirst for prolonging life gradually overshadowed the thirst for imperial power. Although it is not immortal, the fact that it can prolong life is attractive enough. Now that I heard that if I don't break through this bottleneck, I will live a hundred and ten years less, and the emperor is of course anxious.

Hearing that the emperor wants to go into the mountains with him to cultivate, this is exactly the purpose of Zuo Shaoyang's trip, he wants to find a grandiose excuse to avoid Wu Meiniang, who has been poisoned, lest Wu Meiniang become seriously ill and seek treatment by himself. smiled at the moment: "Okay, I'm also at the time of entering the mountain to cultivate." The emperor first practiced this Taoist supreme spell, and he had to go into the mountain to cultivate for a longer time before it could be effective. ”

"How long?"

"Well, at least three months, preferably half a year!"

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Good! I followed my senior brother into the mountains to practice for half a year! ”

Judging from the development of Wu Meiniang's poisoning symptoms, Zuo Shaoyang estimated that Wu Meiniang would not live for more than three months. Therefore, he had to go into the mountains with him to cultivate for more than three months. Now that the emperor has offered to cultivate for half a year, he is even more happy, so that Wu Meiniang will definitely die.

Zuo Shaoyang twisted his beard and smiled: "Senior brother, you have to think about it, this is to go into the mountains to cultivate, not to play in the mountains and rivers." You must not have servants to serve you, you must cook your own food, build your own huts, hunt your own prey, and raise your own fire to roast food. Except for a sword, a bow and arrows, a change of clothes, dry food, oil and salt cooking utensils, you can't bring anything else! Everything can only be done by yourself, including me, and we have to cultivate separately, lest you instruct me to do things for you. ”

Li Shimin looked up to the sky and laughed: "This is a little interesting, okay!" I still don't believe I can't support myself! ”

Li Shimin was a horse when he was young, and he came and went in the wind and rain, but he also suffered a lot, so this seclusion in the mountains was difficult for him.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Okay, when are we leaving?" ”

"Without further ado, let's ...... today, uh, no, we have to settle the state affairs today, half a year is not a short time. I've got to settle these things first. In addition, on the Huashan side, they will definitely search the mountain first to get rid of idle people. After these are processed, I'm afraid it will take about half a month. ”

Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "It's so troublesome, then the emperor still cultivates slowly in your back garden, and I will enter the mountain by myself." Then he turned around and left.

"Wait! Brother. Li Shimin hurriedly said, "Then, I will let the prince temporarily regent the government, settle the state affairs, and let's set off again early tomorrow morning, okay?" ”

"Just announce it, how long will it take?" Zuo Shaoyang said lightly, "You want to cultivate the Tao and want to be political, you can't take care of the two, I said at the beginning, if a cultivator wants to achieve the Tao, he must be indifferent to fame and fortune, you twist and turn, mother-in-law, you can't rest assured that you can't give up, what do you do in cultivation?" It's better to be your emperor and be serious! ”

"This ......, hehe, senior brother doesn't have to be angry, I am a sincere cultivator, I used to plan to let the prince participate in politics and help me take care of state affairs, so as to free up time for cultivation, but senior brother didn't let me."

"At that time, I didn't know if you were really cultivating or just to heal the sick. Over the past year, I have seen that your heart for cultivating the Tao is also pious, so I have asked you to be a cultivator. Now you can let the prince participate in politics, or temporarily act as the government official. It depends on whether you want to cultivate the Tao sincerely or if you want to cultivate for fun. ”

"Naturally, it's a sincere cultivator! Let the prince help me take care of state affairs, so that I can concentrate on cultivating Taoism! "Li Shimin has tasted the beauty of this return to the void and vomiting technique to prolong life and nourish the body and mind, just like a cat has tasted a fishy smell, where is he willing to let go, although the imperial power still can't give up, but let his son help with the general affairs of the government, but it is okay.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Okay, you arrange it as soon as possible, cultivators don't want mother-in-law, you have to know how to give up in order to get it, understand?" ”

"Yes!" The emperor said, "Then I will settle the business, soon." Let's go! ”

"Wait a minute, I have one more thing to tell you."

"Senior brother, please speak."

"You have a talented man surnamed Wu, right?"

"yes?" The emperor was a little strange, and he didn't know what Zuo Shaoyang was doing when he mentioned this matter at this time.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Not long ago, I went to Ganye Temple to incense, it happened that this martial artist was sick, I healed her, she was very grateful, she had to worship me as her father-in-law, I said this is not appropriate, I am the emperor's senior brother, you are the emperor's talent, you worship me as your father-in-law, then I am not the emperor by vain?" But she has to worship, and I can't do anything about her. Hey hey"

The emperor smiled: "What's the matter, this kind of generation can't be counted, you don't have to pay attention to so many clichés!" Let's each do our own thing. ”

This is Li Shimin's heart, because if it is really a matter of generation, he will be in trouble, he married the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui as the imperial concubine, and married Emperor Yang of Sui's wife Xiao Meiniang as Zhaoyi. It is already against the generations to eat for all ages.
