Chapter 215: A Life, For You (13)
Before the meeting, there was another search, and after making sure that Qiao Shi did not have any weapons on him, he let him in.
The meeting place was in the imperial study, and in addition to the emperor sitting above, several princes on the side also got together.
The crown prince, the second prince and the third prince are all here.
In addition, there is also a Taoist priest Yang Cen who is highly used by the emperor.
Yang Cen is very able to speak in front of the emperor and is deeply trusted by the emperor, but he is the second prince's person.
The emperor died in such a hurry in the last life, and this Taoist priest put a lot of effort into it.
It's just that although he is the second prince, Yang Cen was introduced to the emperor by the third prince on the bright side.
If the emperor really took the pill and something went wrong, it was also the fault of the three princes.
I have to say that the second prince's hand played very well.
"When you go down to Penglaicho, see Your Majesty."
Qiao Shi bent down slightly, but did not kneel.
The second prince sneered inwardly, and his eyes looked at the prince.
The third idiot should not know that Yang Cen is his person, so naturally he will not think about introducing Taoist priests over.
I think the prince should have this possibility, but I don't know if this person who claims to be from Penglai really has that ability.
"Bold, don't kneel down when you see the emperor!"
The chief eunuch beside the emperor shouted loudly.
Qiao Shi didn't even raise his eyelids, still hanging his eyelids faintly.
The emperor smiled mildly and waved his hand.
"It's okay, you said that you learned from Penglai Immortal Island, but what evidence do you have?"
Although the emperor is already old, his momentum is unmatched, even if he is smiling at the moment. The gaze is still unusually sharp.
He was looking Qiao up and down, with scrutiny.
Qiao Shi wore a veil on his face, only revealing a pair of indifferent eyes, and he couldn't see the emotions in his eyes clearly.
"Whether the evidence is or not doesn't prove anything, this time I came, I just came on the orders of the master, but the master and the emperor have a cause and effect."
"Oh? Who is your master? ”
The emperor became interested.
Since it was cause and effect, it must have been someone he had seen before, or even a little familiar with.
"The master's name is Taiqing, and the emperor still remembers that fifty years ago, outside the old mansion, the snow was falling, and he once gave a beggar steamed buns."
What is before fifty......
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to fifty years ago.
In front of fifty, he was just a poor boy in his teens, and he couldn't even marry a daughter-in-law.
That day was the New Year's Day, and the heavy snow outside the house fell for a day and a night, with a thick layer, and the family rarely steamed steamed buns, but he found a beggar who passed out outside the house and fell to the ground at some point.
The beggar was cold, he felt compassion, quietly hugged some straw and put it on the beggar, fed him some hot water, and even fed the beggar half of the steamed bun he had finally shared.
Later, when he went out again, the beggar had disappeared, and he was afraid of being scolded by his family, so he did not tell anyone about it.
I can still remember it vaguely.
"Your master is the beggar?"
The emperor already had some belief that fifty years had passed since this incident, and he had almost forgotten such a long time ago, and he had not told anyone about it.
"Yes, there were some problems with Shizun's practice at that time, but fortunately he was rescued by the emperor, in order to thank the emperor for saving his life, Shizun sent a special envoy to come down but this period of cause and effect."
Ning Ze looked at Qiao Shi's humble appearance, and felt a pang of pity in his heart.
It always felt like the person in front of him was talking serious nonsense, but he couldn't find any evidence.
Fifty years ago, the life-saving grace, the deceitful ghost!
Qiao Shi flipped his wrist, and a snow-white pill appeared in his hand.
"This is the master's painstaking efforts for decades, which can prolong life, and as long as there is still a breath, it can treat all injuries in the world."
Looking at the snow-white pill in Qiao Shi's hand, Ning Ze's pupils shrank, and he was absolutely convinced that he had already seen the power of this pill.
After he came back, he asked the doctor in the house to check his body, not only the dark injuries accumulated over the years were gone, but even the chronic poison in the house was solved, and his health could not be better.
The emperor looked at the pill in Qiao Shi's hand and was also a little moved.
The second prince has been paying attention to the prince's expression, and the prince's expression has been very flat before, and he can't see any useful information.
It wasn't until the pill was taken out that the prince's expression changed subtly in an instant, although it was only an instantaneous change, but he was still aware of it.
In other words, the prince knew this elixir.
As for whether he is in the same group as this woman, it remains to be confirmed.
As for the elixir that this woman took out, it is likely to be really a good thing.
"Only one?"
The emperor frowned slightly.
How to test a pill?
"Your Majesty, there is only one at present, this kind of elixir refining is cumbersome, and the raw materials are even more difficult to find, and I have only learned a little bit after learning from the master for more than ten years, if the emperor doesn't believe it, I don't need it, I just follow the order of the master to present the elixir to the emperor."
Qiao Shi was still not humble or silent, and the emperor was a little more impatient in his eyes.
A pill, you can't let him try the medicine by himself.
"Yang Cen, what can you do?"
The emperor turned his head and asked about Yang Cen.
Yang Cen looked at the mellow pill in Qiao Shi's hand, and he was not sure whether it was true or not, but just by looking at the appearance of the pill, he knew that this pill was the best.
It's just that......
Yang Cen's afterglow had been paying attention to the movements of the second prince, and when he saw the corners of the second prince's mouth curled, he knew that the second prince also wanted him to try this elixir.
Seeing this, Yang Cen stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Back to the emperor, can you allow the minister to scrape some powder to test the medicine?"
"Can it affect the medicinal properties of this elixir?"
The emperor is still very impressed by the effect that Qiao Shi said just now, if it will affect the effect of the medicine......
Perhaps afraid that Qiao Shi would say something to refute, Yang Cen immediately spoke.
"Back to the emperor, generally speaking, this practice will not affect the effect of the elixir, but I don't know the elixir of this Penglai Immortal ......"
Yang Cen looked a little hesitant, if Qiao Shi said that he couldn't, he was afraid that the doubts in the emperor's heart would immediately rise to the peak.
Qiao Shi sneered in his heart, but he still spoke without humility.
"Penglai is just an island in the sea, it doesn't have the same miraculous skills as outsiders, and there are no immortals on it, the elixir is refined by the master's painstaking efforts, the emperor can give it a try, even if it is broken in half, it will only weaken the effect of the medicine."
Hearing Qiao Shi's assurance, the emperor did not hesitate, and hurriedly let Yang Cen test the medicine.
Yang Cen asked the medicine boy next to him to fetch a little mouse.
Then use scissors to cut off one of the mouse's legs raw.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Cen scraped some powder and fed it to the mice.
The mouse, which was still bleeding, was slowly recovering from the wound visibly.
In the end, the wound on the severed leg had scabbed over and healed, but the leg had not grown.
Seeing this result, Yang Cen was shocked in his heart, but he showed a look of regret on his face, and turned to report to the emperor.
"Back to the emperor, Miss Qiao's elixir is indeed good, but it has not reached the point where Miss Qiao said to recover all injuries, and this little mouse's leg has not recovered."
