77. The palace was suspicious
In the harem moved to the Qing Palace, Zhao Xu looked at me expectantly and said: "The national teacher suddenly retreated and enlightened, and I want to benefit a lot, I want to know what kind of heavenly dao exercises the national teacher has learned from that immortal tablet?" Can it be taught to me? ”
I nodded lightly and said: "Murong didn't understand the Dao Monument, nor did he comprehend any Heavenly Dao Exercises from the Stone Tablet, but there was a certain Dao rhyme engraved on the Dao Monument, which was very beneficial to my comprehension of the Dao Dao of Heaven and Earth, and I would like to thank the official family for their generous gifts" After speaking, I stood up and bowed deeply.
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up and said: "It's great to be able to help the national teacher, but it's a pity that I am only a mortal in the flesh after all, and I can't be as transcendent as the national teacher." ”
I sighed, knowing that Zhao Xu was a little unwilling after all, so I thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible for officials to practice Taoist exercises, but it's just that Taoist superior internal skills need to be cultivated from a young age to get twice the result with half the effort, and after the age of seven or eight, it is basically impossible to achieve it." However, it is also good to insist on long-term cultivation and prolong life. ”
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "This is very good, the national teacher can teach me the Taoist method today." ”
I thought for a while and said, "In this way, I'll help the official family exercise and regulate the body first, and then start cultivating when the official family's body returns to normal." ”
Zhao Xu said: "This is very good, everything is subject to the arrangement of the national teacher." ”
I stepped forward and motioned for Zhao Xu to sit cross-legged, and then pressed his right hand on his back to guide him, speaking of which, although this emperor is a divine authority and the pride of heaven, but his body is the same as that of mortals, no, it should be said that it is a mess, far inferior to mortals. Before, I saw Zhao Xu's pale face, thinking that he was just working state affairs and overindulgence, lustful and admiring Shao Ai's normal feelings, and it would be good to regulate for a while, but now it seems that it is not simple.
My face is slightly gloomy, the essence in this emperor's body is almost exhausted, and the bone marrow is dried up, if you don't use your eyes, just by checking the pulse, nine out of ten Lang will think that this is a person who is seventy or eighty, and has little life expectancy, usually this kind of person will not live for half a year. I didn't expect Zhao Xu's situation to be so bad, I looked at his face from the side carefully, and then I felt that his seal hall was black, and the two sides confirmed, I'm afraid that time is running out.
After hesitating again and again, I still took the lead to comb the essence and blood in his body, and then said, this is a tedious job, Zhao Xu, who has been indulging in lust for a long time, the meridians in his body are as slender and fragile as hair, and his weakness is not replenished, so he can only slowly give a helping hand. I barely spit out any true qi, just chanted the Buddha's Void Mantra in a low voice, and at the same time my hands cooperated with the corresponding mudra from time to time, although there was no true qi into Zhao Xu's body, but the vitality within a radius of a hundred miles centered on the palace was constantly surging towards the two of us, and the invisible vitality was constantly moistening Zhao Xu's dry meridians, as if a long drought was in the middle of a rain.
Zhao Xu only felt a burst of comfort all over his body, and with the spell of Murong Guoshi behind him, the pores of his whole body opened, as if he had eaten ginseng fruit, and the endless vitality was like a spring breeze and rain that constantly moisturized his body, so that the empty and silent life was rejuvenated, if it wasn't for the fear of disturbing the national teacher's spell, he would almost moan comfortably. "A national teacher is a national teacher, I made him a first-class member, and it was really not a loss at all to see that I didn't worship, and I even earned it." Zhao Xu thought to himself.
After about an hour, I slowly stopped chanting the mantra, and the vitality of my body slowly dissipated, and then I said, "What do the officials think? Can it make a difference? ”
Zhao Xu's eyes shone brightly: "I have been almost sleepless lately, my whole body has collapsed, and I can't be cured by visiting the imperial doctor, I can't imagine that the national teacher is still the holy hand of Xinglin, there is such an immortal technique that can rejuvenate me, I thank Mr. Murong on behalf of the people of the world." ”
I shook my head and said: "Treating diseases and saving people, it is just that the official family's body essence is dry and precarious, and Murong can only try his best to prolong his life, but he has no power to return to heaven." ”
Zhao Xu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "Although the Imperial Doctor didn't say it so directly, but my body knows it by itself, and with their expressions, I also have some guesses, I didn't expect it to be so serious." ”
I said with a pale face: "The official family's illness seems to be due to excessive indulgence, but if you think about it carefully, the official family is only a weak crown year, and the true yuan should not be exhausted so easily. Although the other party is secretive, in my opinion, the official family should have been picked up by people in the Demon Dao, which will lead to a great reduction in longevity and the consequences of difficult to treat the medicine stone. ”
Zhao Xu was furious when he heard this, and then said coldly: "The harem concubines have all been screened multiple times, I can't imagine that people in the demon path can still sneak in and assassinate Yu me, and I also ask the national teacher to help, rectify the harem for me, find out the damn demon out, I must raid the family and destroy the clan to eliminate this hatred in my heart!" ”
I nodded and said, "That's the case, please notify all the concubines in the palace to gather, so that Murong can find out the traitor." ”
Zhao Xu nodded and arranged it.
After the tea effort, the hall was crowded with more than 100 Tianxiang Guose, all of them were white and beautiful, and they were all rare beauties among the people, but they were slightly worse than my Yu Yan, after all, they couldn't follow the edification of poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting and martial arts cheats since childhood, and they lacked a kind of natural spirituality. On spirituality is not as good as Yu Yan, on temperament is not as good as Zhiwei, on nobility is not as good as Yinchuan, what good is it to have a good-looking skin?
I secretly tasted it in my heart, but I didn't identify it immediately, but when all the beauties arrived, I asked Zhao Xu Shili: "Dare to ask the official family, are all the concubines in the palace here?" ”
Zhao Xu glanced at the eunuch next to him and asked, "Are you all here?" If there is one less, I won't spare you! ”
The eunuch trembled and said: "It's all here, a total of one hundred and sixteen concubines, including Queen Meng, have been checked, and none of them have been missed." This is the roster of concubines in the palace, please take a look at it. ”
Zhao Xu put the roster on the table and motioned for me to start.
I nodded, and said to the concubines in front of me: "The national teacher found that His Majesty was assassinated by the people in the Demon Dao and the dragon's body was damaged, so he was ordered to inspect the concubines. That demon demon girl must be among you, if you take the initiative to stand up, then you can save your life, if you are checked out by me, then don't blame you for playing a hot hand below, so that you might as well die. ”
I paused slightly, and seeing that no one stood up, I continued to speak: "All the concubines stand on the left, and the names of the palace people are called, and the people whose names are read on the roster come up to me for inspection, and stand on the right after the inspection." ”
At this time, a eunuch preached: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has arrived!" ”
But seeing that Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Dowager Xiang entered the palace hand in hand, Empress Dowager Gao became older and older, coughed twice and said: "The old man heard that the official family wanted to let Murong Guoshi find the remnants of the Demon Sect among the many concubines, I don't know if this matter is serious?" ”
Zhao Xu said: "That's true, today, after the national teacher checked the pulse, he said that there were people in the demon path in the palace who assassinated against me, so I sincerely invited the national teacher to visit the demon for me. ”
"What kind of system is this matter, not to mention that the concubines in the palace are all selected from the families of pure white families, and checked by the elders, how can there be demons and demons; How can you be credulous based on the words of the national teacher alone; Moreover, it is a royal shame to let a big man of the national teacher inspect the concubines in the palace, and even check the mother of a country, what kind of system it has become! ”
Zhao Xu said angrily, "Murong Guoshi is already above 10,000 people under one person, and he is a person in the Immortal Dao, there is no need to deceive Yu I at all, he said that there must be demons in the palace, even if it is not found now, just for the sake of my dragon body, what does it matter if the national teacher checks it again!" Do you want me to risk my life to live in a harem? Doesn't the Queen Mother know about my body? Could it be that the Queen Mother hopes that her grandson will die as soon as possible and then change to an obedient emperor? “
Empress Dowager Gao was so angry that she trembled, and then her eyes looked at me viciously, and she said hatefully: "Sooner or later, the emperor's country will be corrupted in the hands of you Jianghu warlocks, the official family is so disobedient to advice, it is definitely not a virtuous king, the mourning family is old, I can't help you, I hope you will do it yourself!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
The Empress Dowager Xiang was silent for a while, and then cried: "It is not easy for the first emperor to create a foundation, and I hope that the official family can cherish it." It is ridiculous to let an outsider inspect the harem woman, how can he meet the emperor when he is under the yellow spring? I still hope that the official family will think twice," said and slowly saluted and retired.
Zhao Xu's chest rose and fell, and he said indignantly: "Talking all day long about the so-called words, what etiquette and rules, and what to convince people with virtue, they are all stupid people." Take this time as an example, if something happens to my body, why do you need those bullshit rules? Let the national teacher see the joke, there are many strange things in my harem, please check it yourself. ”
I nodded, unmoved by the farce just now, my strength has reached a certain level, and some people don't need to pay attention to some things. Looking at the bright and moving Great Song Dynasty in the main hall, he smiled slightly bitterly in his heart: This emperor is so lustful, and he doesn't know how far the world's hegemony can go?
I glanced at it, sat down next to the desk and said, "Starting from the queen, the women in the palace will come over one by one according to their grades and let me check the pulse." ”
The women in the palace glanced at Zhao Xu and said yes, so Queen Meng stepped forward, carefully stretched out her jade wrist, and placed it on the table. This Empress Meng not only did not have the domineering momentum of Empress Dowager Gao/Empress Dowager Xiang, but looked docile and honest, and never objected to Zhao Xu's words after arriving at the palace. I heard that she was born in a small family, but she is a little similar to my Abi sister, and she gave me a good impression from the beginning.
I casually took out a silk scarf, folded it twice, put it on Empress Meng's wrist, and began to output true qi to visit. I can't blame me for being so careful, the methods of the Demon Sect are bizarre, and many whimsical miraculous techniques are unimaginable to ordinary people, and I have to admire the talents of the Demon Sect.
Empress Meng on the side saw that I did not directly touch her wrist, and her heart was more relaxed and relieved, quietly waiting for the results of my pulse.
My true qi turned around twice in her body, and my heart sank slightly, and I felt a trace of demon sect true qi slowly flowing in the meridians, although it was thin but obvious, it was a bit similar to Chen Xuanshu's purple qi Tianluo path, and there was a taste of arrogant and domineering and restrained absorption. However, the power of this True Qi was very weak, and it even dissipated as soon as it came into contact with my Northern Soul True Qi, and quickly disintegrated like an ice cube under the scorching sun.
Empress Meng suddenly felt a pain in her body, couldn't help but exclaim, withdrew her right hand, and for a while, everyone in the hall was in a commotion, Zhao Xu asked with blazing eyes: "What did the national teacher find?" ”
Empress Meng's heart trembled when she heard this, and her eyes were fixed on me, lest I say something like a demon sect and demon girl.
I shook my head and said, "Not for the time being, but please wait for a while on the side of the queen, I'll check the other concubines first, and I still have some questions to ask later." ”
Empress Meng stood up and saluted, "The mourning family knows." ”
