The pill that the emperor was taking now was refined by the pill that Lin Tiankuo had asked him to suspend using.

At the beginning, Lin Tiankuo asked him to change the recipe for alchemy, and he did so, after all, the emperor rarely paid attention to what pills he ate, and they were all arranged for him by these Taoists. This time he changed the elixir, and the emperor immediately found him and asked him if he had changed the formula.

How many dares did he dare to deceive the emperor?

I have to say that the original recipe still needs to be improved, so it was changed.

The emperor changed his previous peace and became irritable: "I trust you so I never ask about Dan Fang!" You're giving me something you're not sure about! ”

He quickly knelt down to make amends, promising that it would never happen again.

"You have already determined the pill I am taking now?"

"Yes."

Although he didn't dare to look at the emperor with his eyes, he could feel that the emperor had calmed down. Just as he was glad that the emperor lifted it high, put it down gently, and reminded himself to be more careful in doing things in the future, the emperor spoke again: "Let's use the previous Danfang." ”

He suspected that he had misheard, and for a moment he forgot the rules of the face saint, and raised his head in surprise, seeing the emperor's uncomfortable expression. He stubbornly asked, "Is it the one that was replaced?" ”

The Emperor nodded.

The people of the zodiac were bitter in their hearts, and the emperor opened his mouth, he couldn't refuse, but the prince had already confessed to change. Agree to the emperor's request, how can the crown prince explain there?

"Your Majesty, it's a new pill, it's better to wait for Poor Dao to find someone to take it for a while, and then give it to you after making sure there is no problem." He could only persuade again.

"Is there a problem with Danfang?" Seeing that he was so persistent, the emperor gradually regained his senses.

"No, no, no", he didn't dare to admit that there was a problem with Danfang.

"What did the prince say?"

"Huh?" The emperor's sudden mention of the crown prince caught him a little off guard.

"I know that before you refine the Dan, you will give the Danfang to the prince for a look. He hasn't seen this Danfang? ”

The Emperor's voice was not as irritable as it had been before, but the Zodiac felt an invisible pressure—he experienced the momentum of the superior for the first time. The cold sweat on his forehead kept pouring out, and he couldn't have the slightest idea of resistance in his heart, so he had to tell the truth: "The Danfang was given to me by the prince and told me the specific refining method." But a few days later, he asked the Dan Fang back again, and asked you to use the original recipe. So the Danfang he gave only made two furnaces, 80 grains. ”

After explaining everything in one go, the zodiac man was relieved, and he now felt that kneeling was the most comfortable position, because his legs were already weak.

"Is the prince's behavior different from usual?"

"Anomalous...... It was indeed a little strange when I gave the Dan Fang. In the past, we found Danfang to show him, but this time it was he who took the initiative to give me Danfang alchemy. "The current zodiac people have left their original heartfelt feelings for the crown prince behind, and he will answer whatever the emperor asks, for fear of making the emperor angry if he is slow.

The emperor frowned slightly, the zodiac did not dare to lie at this moment. If everything is as he said, there is really something wrong with this Dan Fang.

Kuoer has always been cautious and measured.

He won't do anything back on his word - Danfang gives and takes, not like his usual style.

What's more, he only looked at the safety of the pill before, and never took the initiative to provide the pill, his behavior was really abnormal.

What caused his abnormality? Could it be that Zehai's return to the palace made him feel a sense of crisis? For the first time, the emperor had doubts in his heart about his proud son: deep down, did he really not have a glimmer of hope that he would die sooner?

Everyone who is a prince will have such thoughts. I was ...... back then. It's not a question of filial piety, but human nature. A man naturally yearns for power, and as long as he dies, he can rightfully stand at the top of power.

Ko'er has his own revenge, and it is impossible to have the same philosophy of governing the country as an old man himself. Then, when we don't agree with each other, it's normal to have thoughts like "if I can call the shots", and he understands all of this.

Just, why do it so obviously?

Why?

It's a shame that I believe in him so much!

Behind his back, he hoped that I would die soon!

The emperor gradually lost his ability to concentrate, and his mood became agitated again. The body cried out for something to soothe, but there seemed to be some kind of restless emotion in the body that wanted to gush out, and he swept everything off the table to calm down a little.

It's just that he didn't bother to think about the question just now, all he thinks about now is the pill he took a few days ago.

It was a good thing, and his mind would become very relaxed, and several times he felt his soul touch the clouds in the sky. Everywhere is proper, he once thought that he had touched the doorway to ascend to immortals. Is it the feeling that the predecessors pursued to become immortals?

Did he know the benefits of this elixir, so he didn't let me take it?

It must be the case, the previous prescription was just some pills to replenish the body, but this time he found a pill that really works! Originally, he wanted to dedicate it to me and make me an immortal, but later because of Zehai's appearance, he didn't want to use such a good pill for me anymore!

That way, everything makes sense!

The emperor thought that he had found the reason for Lin Tiankuo's abnormal behavior, and the desire for the previous pill in his heart was even greater!

He directly ordered the zodiac people: "You go and refine the original pill now!" I'm going to take it tomorrow! ”

The zodiac hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty! Poor Dao must not dare to slack off, but there is a medicinal ingredient in the pill that is not easy to refine, even if Poor Dao refines it overnight, it will take the day after tomorrow to refine. ”

"Then don't want that medicinal herb first, and use the rest of the materials to refine a batch."

This is a typical layman to guide the insider, and there are regulations on the order of adding flavor herbs in the process of refining, and the role played by each herb. Danfang is the experience summarized by the predecessors, and every medicine is indispensable, so it reflects the importance of Danfang. It is definitely not okay to hastily reduce the use of materials.

But the emperor's current emotional state made him dare not refute, he just thought about agreeing to come down and leave here quickly.

Although the Dan Fang was gone, the Zodiac had the habit of recording the refining process, and he easily restored the Dan. Early the next morning, the elixir was placed on the emperor's table.

But soon the emperor's personal eunuch came and reprimanded him loudly - it was the emperor's mouth. Ask him if he can't refine the medicine without the pill! What was it that was sent? Isn't it perfunctory? If you can't deliver the original pill tomorrow, you'll lose your head!

After listening to the scolding, the zodiac man did not have any grievances and dissatisfaction, he just wanted to quickly refine the pill and save his life.

Fortunately, the process of alchemy went very smoothly.

This time, he personally sent the elixir to the emperor's table, and life and death only depend on this time. The emperor almost couldn't wait to put the pill in his mouth, and soon showed a look of satisfaction.

He knew that his life was saved for the time being.
