Chapter 36: Zhu Zi - The Old Thing is in My Heart
There is a spacious platform in front of the gate of the Zhu Ziguo Palace, one side is the gate of the palace hall, and the other three sides are the stairs leading to the square. Originally, this was supposed to be the key area of the king's guards, but I don't know when it became the place where the knights of the Three Realms landed when they used the flying talisman to come to the Vermilion Purple Kingdom.
When the couple came here, there were already a lot of people gathered here, most of them came to the warehouse owner to access things, the couple came all the way from Taoyuan Village, and their bags were also full of large and small objects, but they never met the warehouse owner along the way, so they could only take it all the time.
So the husband and wife went back to the inn again, sorted out the things that they couldn't use for the time being, entrusted them to the warehouse owner, and went to Jianye to pick them up on the way back.
The clones of the warehouse owners are also located in all major cities, and the warehouses they manage have special mechanisms, like a small teleportation array, where things stored in one place can be retrieved elsewhere.
Through the crowd, the two finally came to the gate of the palace hall, and the guards at the door entered with the names of the two to report, and soon there was a response.
"See Your Majesty."
"No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saluting, King Zhu Zi ordered two Nanmu chairs to be brought up, and the husband and wife sat down before chatting slowly.
"The two young heroes came from afar, and they worked hard all the way, if the widow remembers correctly, this should be the first time the two of them have participated in the New Year's ceremony, right?"
"Exactly."
"Have you ever been to the fair?"
"It's very lively."
"This is a grand festival in our country, and it has always been lively, but in recent years, most of the people who have participated in the ceremony are outsiders, and most of the people in our country are busy preparing what will be sold in the market after the ceremony."
"This is a good thing, your country has become more and more powerful in recent years, and it must be inseparable from this increasingly prosperous trade."
"That's true."
King Zhu Zi is actually quite young, in the prime of life, has always had the world in mind, sympathetic to the people, Zhu Ziguo has been smooth in all these years, and the people are happy, and he recruits talents and implements policies that benefit the country and the people.
A few years ago, the Dragon Boat Festival, the evil spirit of Qilin Mountain kidnapped the Golden Sacred Palace Niangniang, since then the king has been ill, although the emperor posted the list for medical advice, but never found an effective prescription, the disease has been dragged.
When the husband and wife visited Zhu Ziguo before, although they both made a prescription for the king, which alleviated his symptoms a lot, he still had a knot in his heart, and he kept thinking that the illness had been repeating.
After that, the husband and wife went to Qilin Mountain, and learned the whereabouts of the Niangniang of the Golden Sacred Palace from the little demon who patrolled the mountain, so they broke into the deepest Tai Sui Mansion and saw the Sai Tai Sui who kidnapped the Niangniang.
At that time, Sai Tai Sui had three bells containing strange and mysterious powers, and few people in the Three Realms could defeat him, let alone husband and wife.
Not long after the fight, Sai Tai Sui urged the spiritual power to make the bell release poisonous smoke, and the husband and wife were caught off guard and were injured by the poisonous smoke, so they had to flee.
Later, the husband and wife went to the heavenly palace to ask for medicine to no avail, and then went to Putuo in the South China Sea, and the precious rain and dew from the Qinglian fairy were relieved of the poison of the golden bell.
The trip to Qilin Mountain was extremely dangerous, and after several twists and turns, the husband and wife finally defeated Sai Tai Sui, rescued the Golden Sacred Palace, and escorted her back to the king.
"I still remember that at that time, the concubine got the magic weapon given by an immortal, and her whole body was like a thorn in life, so that people didn't dare to approach, and in the end, the two young heroes found the immortal, and only then did they take back the magic weapon, so that our husband and wife could be reunited."
"Your Majesty is sincere to Niangniang, although Niangniang has been in danger for several years, she will not change her deep affection for Your Majesty, this is the most beautiful affection in the world, and no one will stand idly by."
"The two young chivalrous are stronger than Jin, and they will not give up on life and death together in adversity, which is really enviable."
"That experience was also very important to me and my wife, and I still remember it to this day."
At that time, when the husband and wife went to Qilin Mountain, the demon incense did not work, and they could only move forward by defeating the beasts in the mountains, although it was very easy for them to defeat those beasts now, but at that time it was a little dangerous.
"If we hadn't told Sister Yuchen in advance, and she arrived in time at the critical moment, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to get out of that Qilin Mountain."
"Yes, after all, at that time, I was not deeply involved in the world, and I was not stable enough, and I didn't think about many things well, so I was naturally in danger often."
"Although the two of them are young, their knowledge is first-class, they are really young and promising."
"Your Majesty has won the prize."
While they were talking, a small old man came over and handed a letter to King Zhu Zi.
"Got it, the widow will take care of it."
With a reply, the old man saluted the king and nodded to the husband and wife before turning to leave.
"The national teacher still can't speak?"
"Yes, the national teacher's illness is even more strange, I'm afraid it can't be cured, he has assisted the widow for many years, his personality is gentle, his mind is delicate, and he has unparalleled wisdom, and now the communication is also barrier-free, so let him stay with the widow."
"The national teacher is old, and staying by His Majesty's side is indeed the best choice, not to mention that His Majesty and him are like confidants, which can be regarded as a rare fate."
The husband and wife had a relationship with Ami, who, as the king said, was a very gentle man, very patient, and always smiling.
"If the widow remembers correctly, the girl knows the way of medicine?"
"Exactly."
"In that case, I want to ask the girl if she knows a medicine called femme fatale?"
"I've heard of it."
"It is said that this medicine can treat muteness, but it is extremely rare, the two of them have traveled all the year round, they must have seen a lot of rare and exotic plants, if you can see this thing, can you tell the widow?"
"You must keep it in mind, but this thing is not unusual, only because the medicinal materials required for its preparation are produced in many places, and it is often found in dangerous places, and if you find all of them, it is not difficult to prepare them."
"That's right......"
The expression on King Zhu Zi's face was a little complicated, with hope and some disappointment.
Xiao Zhen had heard Yuchen say that among the medicinal materials needed to prepare the femme fatale, a few of them came from the vicinity of Zhu Ziguo, as for the others, a small number of them were ordinary medicinal materials, which could be bought at the pharmacy, and the remaining part of the hard-to-find medicinal materials, if you could meet a medicinal herb merchant, you could also buy them, but they would be more expensive.
"I heard that there is an extremely powerful pharmacist here a few years ago, and there are a few medicinal herbs in the formula of the femme fatale that come from near Zhu Ziguo, maybe you can find it from him, I will go with my husband to take a look in a while, please rest assured."
"That widow has thanked the two of them for the national teacher first."
"Your Majesty is gracious."
Leaving the palace, the couple inquired about the location of the pharmacist from a nearby shopkeeper, and searched all the way.
