Chapter Ninety-One: Restraining the Horse from the Precipice and Seeking a Way Back

It is said that since Liu Xinyu died unjustly, Tang Xuanzong, who had been worried all the time, began to have nightmares and couldn't sleep all night.

When asked why, it was not known. It is only said that it is due to overwork and lack of energy, so all kinds of illusions.

For this reason, the doctors have worked hard, and it is both a soothing soup and a health medicine. But Tang Xuanzong's condition did not improve because of this, but worsened day by day.

Seeing this situation, the people in the court and the central government were panicked, for fear that Tang Xuanzong would make a mistake and cause turmoil in the government and the opposition.

As soon as this situation came out, it was also a few joys and a few sorrows. In particular, those treacherous and vicious people with evil intentions, seeing this, began to carefully plot their own poisonous schemes, in order to achieve his ulterior and sinister purpose as soon as possible.

Besides, Xu Ziyan, since she learned the news that Tang Xuanzong was plagued by a vicious disease, she was also worried day and night, and tried her best to think about how to deal with it.

By now, the doctors are no longer reliable. If you want to solve this matter as soon as possible, you can only figure it out yourself. After all, no one can guarantee that there are no hostile forces in these people, otherwise, how could such a minor illness deteriorate to such a point in such a short period of time?

However, after all, Xu Ziyan lived in the palace, and it would be too conspicuous to go to the Imperial Doctor's Department to seek medicinal materials for Tang Xuanzong to prepare a decoction with such fanfare.

In desperation, Xu Ziyan could only do everything possible to collect medicinal materials. What's more, he did not hesitate to let Yulu secretly contact his cronies to enter the Imperial Doctor's Office at night to steal medicine.

As the saying goes, if you don't know, you can't do it unless you don't know it. In the inner courtyard of the deep palace, where there is a lot of intrigue, if you are not careful, you may be caught by someone with ill intentions, and then put the other party to death.

Sure enough, what Xu Ziyan and Yulu had done recently became known to others, but most people were reluctant to take the initiative to provoke right and wrong when they saw this situation. Only Yang Ruoxin's personal maid Xiaoyu learned about this and immediately reported it to Yang Ruoxin.

When Yang Ruoxin learned about this, he did not react immediately. I saw the corners of his mouth move slightly, and nodded consciously, and then let Xiaoyu retreat.

In fact, she has long been unwilling to just be a talented person. However, when Yang Ruoxin first arrived in the palace, he had no roots and no foundation, and if he didn't work hard to climb up, he was afraid that he would die of old age in this palace alone.

Without further ado, action must be taken now.

The next day, Yang Ruoxin secretly ordered Xiaoyu to send a message to the heart dispel Taoist, wanting to meet with him secretly and discuss countermeasures.

And the Heart Dispelling Daoist had been treating Concubine Wu Hui's illness before, so he was specially arranged by Tang Xuanzong to live temporarily in a separate courtyard. If you want to see each other, it's not difficult.

But what is strange is that after Yang Ruoxin and the Taoist secretly met, they did not have the slightest sense of alienation from each other, but were like old people who had known each other for a long time, and they were extremely cordial.

Due to the urgency of the situation and the strict security in the palace, it is not appropriate for the two of them to stay here too much.

I saw that the Heart Dispelling Daoist handed a bag of things to Yang Ruoxin, and then whispered a few words in her ear, and left in a hurry.

Afterwards, Yang Ruoxin, who had already arranged everything, bought off Tang Xuanzong's inner servants and asked him to design to lure Tang Xuanzong here. It is only said that Yang Ruoxin has a way to restore it to its original state, and change yesterday's grievances.

After Tang Xuanzong heard this, he came to Yang Ruoxin's residence in his spare time with the attitude of trying it out. After all, he and Yang Ruoxin haven't seen each other for many days, and this time they are here to consolidate their affection for each other.

How could Yang Ruoxin let go of such a God-given opportunity? She had already ordered someone to prepare sumptuous food and wine in advance, and she was even dressed up in a fancy way. In order to let Tang Xuanzong be able to spend the night here, he can also take the opportunity to blow the wind by the pillow.

When Tang Xuanzong arrived, it was already nightfall. At this moment, the moon and stars are scarce, and it is really a rare good weather. But Tang Xuanzong's heart was a little apprehensive, and he didn't know how to face Yang Ruoxin.

When he was young, Tang Xuanzong was able to enter the door, but when he saw that the lights in the house were bright, warm and quiet, he planned to go in alone and have a warm time with him.

I saw Tang Xuanzong slowly walking in the direction of the round table, and when he came to the table, there was no one in sight.

Tang Xuanzong looked around suspiciously, thinking, he had just seen someone sitting here, why did he suddenly disappear?

Seeing this, Tang Xuanzong immediately walked to the inner room. At this moment, a new and gorgeous landscape screen gradually entered the field of vision of Tang Xuanzong.

This screen is composed of four small screens with different colors and independent scenery, and its pattern painting is ingenious and lifelike, which fascinates Tang Xuanzong.

The patterns on these four small screens are in order: high mountains and flowing water, smoke and clouds, fog rising from the Qingjiang River, and wind passing through the ancient building.

The so-called high mountains and flowing water are not idioms and allusions that you and I are familiar with, but a tall and straight emerald green mountain peak that goes straight into the clouds, and a clear spring pours down from the top of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, I saw a few children playing here, chasing each other. It only made a splash and laughter.

The so-called smoke and clouds are not a natural phenomenon that flickers in the deep mountains and dense forests, but a different artistic conception formed by the bursts of smoke emitted by people cooking in the morning in a relatively remote mountain and rural area.

The meaning of the latter two paintings is different from the former, and both depict the unique and artistic nostalgic beauty between the quiet countryside and the landscape. I need to understand this by myself, and I don't need to go into more details.

Unconsciously, Tang Xuanzong had walked in front of the screen. Through the small gaps left by the screen, you can faintly see a figure flickering behind the screen. Closer to the face, a fresh fragrance came to the face.

The aroma is natural and pure, like the fragrance of nature emanating from these images, and people can't help but indulge in it.

When he was young, one of them walked out slowly from behind the screen. And the aroma became more and more intense, thinking that it emanated from this person.

Tang Xuanzong fixed his eyes and saw that it was Yang Ruoxin.

Seeing this, he was secretly surprised and said, I didn't think that Yang Ruoxin could be so beautiful and moving as a mortal, it was unbelievable.

No matter what Yang Ruoxin is dressed today, just the rare natural fragrance in this world and her charming and charming eyes are enough to make the person in front of her fascinated.

However, in Yang Ruoxin's charming and charming eyes, it always makes people feel that there is some murderous aura hidden inside, so that I can't help but think of another person - Xu Yuexiao.

You must know that Xu Yuexiao used such a look to scare Lin Zhongyi directly from the ladder and broke his bones.

Of course, Tang Xuanzong and Xu Yuexiao had no intersection, so it was impossible for him to see this kind of look beforehand.

In this way, Tang Xuanzong spent a cheerful and unforgettable night in the enthusiastic company of Yang Ruoxin.

The most important thing is that after Tang Xuanzong took the decoction prepared for him by Yang Ruoxin, his condition really improved. Instead of having nightmares, I was still mentally tired and tired.

Therefore, Yang Ruoxin received a lot of rewards from Tang Xuanzong, and he favored him even more, so that he came here every night to have fun.

However, to everyone's surprise, the whole thing is far from over.

One night a few days later, Xu Ziyan ordered someone to put a specially prepared decoction and serve it to Tang Xuanzong.

At this moment, although he has gradually recovered under Yang Ruoxin's careful care, it is not easy to refuse the soothing soup prepared by Xu Ziyan herself. So, Tang Xuanzong happily drank this soup and prepared to rest.

About half an hour later, Xu Ziyan, who was in a worried mood, was very happy after learning the news that Tang Xuanzong had successfully taken this soup, but she didn't know that disaster was coming.

At midnight that day, Tang Xuanzong, who had already slept peacefully, once again entered a boundless nightmare, unable to control himself.

only made him sweat profusely and screamed, so that the person in front of him was frightened and at a loss, so he hurriedly announced that the imperial doctor entered the palace to diagnose it.

After some careful examination, the imperial doctor concluded that the reason why Tang Xuanzong's old illness recurred and had signs of aggravation was because he drank the soothing soup sent by Xu Ziyan before going to bed.

After sobering up, Tang Xuanzong was shocked to learn that it was Xu Ziyan who wanted to harm him.

Xu Ziyan usually keeps to herself and has no quarrel with the world, how could she take such a risk this time and break into such a catastrophe?

However, although Tang Xuanzong didn't want to believe that Xu Ziyan would be so vicious, the words of the imperial doctor were reasonable. For a while, Tang Xuanzong was in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to do.

In desperation, Tang Xuanzong had no choice but to punish Xu Ziyan in order to convince the public.

On the other hand, after Wu Yingmin learned that Tang Xuanzong had been unable to sleep peacefully for a long time and was in low spirits, he began to look for opportunities to further improve his status.

Wu Yingmin's father, Wu Xinyi, has always had dealings with Zhu Jingqi, and Zhu Jingqi is a celebrity around Tang Xuanzong, so he naturally has some weight when he speaks.

Zhu Jingqi saw that the time was ripe, so he told Tang Xuanzong that Wu Xinyi, the father of Wu Yingmin, had been doing business abroad for many years, and he had a strange incense in his hand, called "tangled incense".

This incense is not an incense used in ordinary temple sacrifices, but a kind of "medicinal incense" made by refining an exclusive secret medicine.

This fragrance is unique and pure, and it is a rare and beneficial product in the world. It is also very easy to use, just put it in front of the bed every night before going to bed, and then mix it with a special medicine. It doesn't take three to five days to get back to normal.

At first, Tang Xuanzong was also skeptical about this, thinking that it was too bizarre and not enough to treat him.

But he didn't want to be tormented by nightmares anymore, so Tang Xuanzong followed what Zhu Jingqi said, that is, ordered Wu Xinyi, the assassin general of Youzhou, to find him, and sent someone to escort him to Beijing with this incense.

A few days later, Wu Xinyi arrived in the capital and immediately entered the palace under Zhu Jingqi's arrangement to burn incense for Tang Xuanzong to treat his illness.

Sure enough, as Zhu Jingqi and others said, after Tang Xuanzong lit this incense in the house, he really didn't have nightmares, but felt that he always had inexhaustible strength to be energetic.

Therefore, Tang Xuanzong rewarded Wu Xinyi and kept him in Beijing to listen to it. His daughter Wu Yingmin was also happy in the palace because of the light of martial arts and righteousness.

However, how did Tang Xuanzong know that the objects he rewarded were the people who wanted to put him to death.

After this incident, Xu Ziyan realized more clearly that this kind of lifestyle was definitely not what she wanted.

In the world, there are many things that are more meaningful than chasing fame and fortune. As the saying goes, it's not too late to make amends, and at this moment, Xu Ziyan must rein in the precipice, and then seek a new way out for herself.
