Chapter 123: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars

A few days later, Shi Yu finally dug out the alchemy furnace on the outskirts of the city a hundred feet away from the carpentry workshop, the medicine furnace was dug out with a foul smell all over his body, at first the people in the criminal department could endure to continue digging, but once the sun was exposed, the stench became stronger and stronger as if it had been fermented, and the smell of stinky sauce soup could be smelled ten miles away from the downwind outlet.

The people in the criminal department seemed to be drowning in the smell, and the stench around them could not be washed away by the water, and the wind could not be blown away, and it lingered for more than half a month before dissipating a little, and therefore the inside of the criminal department was like a big dung cellar, from the inside to the outside, and the smell was in the wood.

This time, humans and beasts couldn't get close, and the matter of digging the medicine furnace was also delayed.

After a few days of exposure to the sun and the smell of the smell, the medicine stove was finally approachable within a few feet, but everyone in the criminal department said that they would not go to work as coolies anymore.

In desperation, Sun Shu had to endure the pain and recruit workers from the private sector with a lot of money.

A few days later, the coolies were covered with cotton cloth on their heads, heavy masks tied around their mouths and noses, several clothes on their bodies, and sweating in the sun in the heat that had gradually turned hot*.

After digging for a long time, and cleaning up for half a day, the general stinky and extraordinary alchemy furnace that was fished out of the big dung cellar finally revealed the whole picture, and everyone lifted it several times, but they failed to move a bit, this alchemy furnace is really as Shi Yu said, the dark iron is poured, and it weighs 10,000 catties.

Sun Shu truthfully reported the situation to the emperor. The emperor thought for a while, but finally because of the importance of the palace, it was really undignified to transport the medicine furnace with ten miles of incense to the main hall, so he did not take it seriously, and only asked Sun Shu to send someone to protect the medicine furnace, saying that he would go to the outskirts of the city in person to see with his own eyes that this was enough to abolish the evidence of the prince.

The emperor followed Liu Wuji's suggestion, and arrived at the outskirts of the city before dawn the next day, when the smell of the medicine furnace was still shallow, the emperor drove in person, and the civil and military officials above the court naturally had to follow, so there was such a rare scene in a hundred years on the outskirts of the city.

The emperor's entourage of the chief eunuch was holding a spittoon in his arms, with a thick cloth tied on his face, always paying attention to the emperor's state, and at the same time enduring vomiting until his face turned blue.

The emperor covered his mouth and nose with a thick cotton cloth, squinted his eyes and looked into the big pit a few feet away, just glanced at it, the smell was inhaled into his mouth and nose, and a thick stench rushed to his mind, the emperor bowed and gagged, and retched at the spittoon handed over by the eunuch in time.

As for why it is retching, it is because on the way here, I have already vomited the breakfast and overnight meal.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials all turned around and held on to the trunk of the tree, and vomited happily with relief.

The quiet forest was filled with the sound of vomiting one after another, and several indistinguishable smells were added to the originally foul-smelling air, and the stench was mixed with all kinds of sour food, and this scene was really miserable.

Liu Wuxian stroked his forehead, came to Xiu Jie's side, bowed down and hugged his fists, "Your Majesty, this is the evidence provided by Your Highness, and it is the medicine furnace used by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to refine medicine." This medicine furnace is watered with dark iron, weighing 10,000 catties, and there are no gaps around the body. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered Shi Yu to use the body of the Empress Dowager as a medicinal material, use this refining furnace to refine it, add auxiliary medicines, and refine it for 7749 days with uninterrupted fire in a dark place where there is no sunlight underground, and then make a medicine to cure the Crown Princess's illness. ”

"I have always had an unknown thing, the world is big, there are countless types of medicinal materials, different styles, although I am not confined to flowers and plants, but I have never heard of human medicine......" Xiu Jie said, a sour feeling rushed up in his stomach, he didn't care about the royal manners, turned his head and retched at the spittoon.

"Back to my father, the master has never told his sons that there is a miracle medicine in this world, called phoenix blood sandalwood." Feng Shaoyan and Liu Wuxian glanced at each other, although their faces were still as indifferent as ever, but there was a little helplessness in their eyes, "It is rumored that the phoenix cried blood, and its blood soaked into a piece of sandalwood root that was about to die, so that the dead wood was reborn in blood, and that sandalwood was the phoenix blood sandalwood that Xian Si said." ”

"The miracle medicine...... "After vomiting ...... Xiu Jie just now, he forgot to cover his mouth and nose with a thick cloth and took a breath, and then he began to vomit again, and after a while, Xiu Jie asked in a dumb voice, "What does this magic medicine have to do with taking people to refine medicine?" ”

"This sandalwood is dyed with phoenix blood, so it has the miraculous medicinal effect of the living dead, flesh and bones, but this sandalwood has been extinct in the world for many years, and has long faded out of the eyes of the world and has become a legend that few people know." Liu Wuxian said patiently, "The last piece of phoenix blood sandalwood in this world was swallowed by the Queen Mother, because the medicinal effect was too strong, the residual medicinal effect was soaked into the blood and sealed, so the blood flowing in the body of the Queen Mother also had the medicinal effect of phoenix blood sandalwood, so it can be regarded as a medicinal material that is difficult to find in the world, and can be used to treat all diseases." ”

"Such a strange story...... It's the first time I've ...... ...... vomit," Xiu Jie said, and the gastric juice reversed again.

The eunuch was about to reach out to pick it up, but when he saw Xiu Jie's eyes rolled, he fell straight back, Feng Shaoyan quickly grabbed Xiu Jie's shoulder, and hurriedly ordered the chariot to step forward, and then picked up Xiu Jie, strode to the front of the car, and settled Xiu Jie.

Liu Wuxian was stunned, he really didn't expect that this smell would make the emperor faint.

The emperor's chariot drove away, and after the civil and military officials sent him off, they were all busy leaving, and when everyone was scattered, only Liu Wuxian and Shi Yu were left here.

"When you saw the Queen Mother, how was the Queen Mother?" Liu Wuxian glanced at the medicine furnace in the pit a few times, and his face was puzzled.

"It's dead, and it's cold ice so it doesn't rot." Shi Yu frowned.

"When I was in the Tianshan Mountains, although the Queen Mother was in a coma, she did not die!" Liu Wuxian walked towards the place where the horse was tied in the forest, and his brows tightened again.

"What's the difference between dying and not dying?" Shi Yu laughed, reluctantly glanced at the medicine furnace in the pit a few times, and then left behind Liu Wuxian, "It's just that the method made her sleep for more than ten years to save her body." Although Xiu Yi got that body, he wouldn't save it, and dragging it around would also consume her to death. ”

"After this incident, you can go to Su Yan to live in seclusion, and from now on, don't do evil again." The horse tethered in the forest snorted uneasily, and Liu Wuxian caressed the horse's face to soothe.

"Su Yan? If you let me live in seclusion in Su Yan, didn't you just tell me to die? Shi Yu tore off the reins and pulled the horse forward, ignoring the horse's restless snort.

"As long as you keep your name incognito, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and stop doing evil, trouble will not find your head." Liu Wuxian said, "I'll try my best to protect you, but you can't take a salary from the bottom of the kettle." ”

If Shi Yu appeared in front of Jin Yue, Jin Yue would not hesitate to kill him by capital punishment, he was Qiu Chulin's biological father, no matter how strange he was, he was a close relative with the same blood.

This enmity cannot be settled.

Xiujie finally lived up to expectations, and in the morning of the next day, he announced the prince's crime in public, and took the prince's immorality as the crime, and ordered the abolition of the prince, demoted to the common people, and no edict could be returned to Beijing, otherwise it would be regarded as a rebellion. However, he was in command to kill the enemy and defend the country at the border, so the punishment was postponed.

In this way, Liu Wuxian's trip can be regarded as a success, Xiuyi was demoted, and the queen mother's case finally had a result, and the eldest princess could return to China with him.

Just when everything was going according to plan, a secret report came back from the west, causing an uproar in the Jinnan court.

The Western Desert betrayed the promise of peace between the two countries, sent troops to Suyan half a month ago, won by surprise, captured the three provinces of Suyan border, drove straight in, and had the potential to smash the Yellow Dragon.

As soon as the news was received in the Jinnan court, several civil ministers and military generals entered the palace to admonish, bluntly saying that they should take advantage of the situation to detain Liu Wuxian and the eldest princess Suyan as hostages, show goodwill to the Western Desert, express the intention of alliance, and ensure the peace of the north.

The Sacred Heart is shaken.

Feng Shaoyan argued with reason in the court, but he failed to reverse the Sacred Heart after all.

Emperor Xiujie immediately ordered the detention of Su Yan's envoys and the eldest princess, placed them under house arrest in the palace, and at the same time presented the alliance documents to the king of the Western Desert.

On the same day, the forbidden army rushed into the Xianwang Mansion, escorted Liu Wuxian and Sisi, and after verifying their identity, they were taken into prison and drove all the way to the palace.

Feng Shaoyan was a little disheartened.

How could his father, the emperor, do such a villain act of taking advantage of the fire to rob!

At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

The back gate of the Xian Wang's Mansion quietly drove out of a simple, unadorned carriage, the carriage went all the way to the east, to the east gate of Licheng, the city gate slowly opened a carriage wide gap in the quiet night, after the carriage drove out of the city gate, the city gate was quietly closed again.

In the Xianwang Mansion, Feng Shaoyan placed several jars of old wine in front of him.

That wine is not the taste of Yuangu, but it is also refreshing, but Feng Shaoyan can't drink a sip at the moment.

He went against his father's will, and used two disguised stand-ins to pretend to be Liu Wuxian and Sisi, and let go of the hostages that Jinnan really wanted to keep.

The one who opened the door under the Dongcheng Gate was Peng Yu, the general who was on duty that night, and he was the only military general in the court who was close to him in private and talked about everything.

He hurt him.

Due to the limited time, it was not possible to make a delicate and long-lasting mask, and the masks on the faces of the two stand-ins would reveal flaws in less than ten days.

At that time, the father will investigate thoroughly, and it doesn't matter if he steals the beams and changes the pillars, after all, the father loves him the most, and at most he will only be locked up for a few days.

But Peng Yu will definitely be convicted of the crime of treason for releasing hostages to leave Licheng, and then exterminate the Nine Clans.

Peng Yu's family has more than ten members, and they will all die under the knife because of this.

He did not kill them, but he guillotined them with his own hands.

Feng Shaoyan gradually sobered up in the burst of pungent aroma of wine, and the words that Liu Wuxian had said echoed in his ears again.

"Say less, plan for yourself early, don't blindly believe that blood is thicker than water."

Plan ahead......

Feng Shaoyan laughed, laughing at himself for being too weak, a man should stand up to the sky when he is alive, but he can't even protect the people he cares about.

Feng Shaoyan finally opened the wine cork and drank alone in the night sky.

Tonight, his pure heart has experienced the wind and sand, the sword mountain and the sea of blood, the ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, and the blood flowing with the waves......

Feng Shaoyan finally opened the wine cork and drank alone in the night sky.
