Chapter 18 Changes
The Queen Mother, who had obtained the elixir of life, returned to her dormitory surrounded by a group of tiger army. The current queen mother can already be sure that the elixir in her hand is the elixir of life, and there is no doubt that this middle-aged woman doesn't even want to find someone to test the medicine, so she takes one pill herself, and the other pill is sent directly to Emperor Ping. Their mother and son continue to rule the world for eternity.
However, for the sake of prudence, the Queen Mother still withdrew from everyone and found her most intimate palace maid to test the medicine. This palace maid also knew the reasons inside, and she was still ecstatic that she could get the blessing of the queen mother and become an immortal.
But just a moment after she took the elixir, the palace maid instantly swallowed. Because she died so quickly, the palace maid didn't even feel the pain of death, so she ended her life hastily.
Seeing that the elixir of life that he had obtained with great difficulty turned out to be a poison that would kill in the mouth, if it wasn't for someone to test the medicine, the eight achievements who died now would be himself and his son Emperor Ping. After being extremely frightened, the Queen Mother couldn't bear it anymore, and was frightened to lose her normality and become delirious.
After a glance, Wu Mian knew what was wrong. At that moment, after the white-haired man sneered, he said to the Queen Mother: "How is it?" Do you know what it's like to live forever? ”
This voice called the Queen Mother back from her confused thinking, and the woman glanced at Wu Mian and the others in astonishment. It took a long time to remember what was wrong, and muttered to Wu Mian: "Didn't you say it...... Is this an elixir? Why...... Why did she die after eating it? ”
"Because she is too greedy" Wu Mian's rare words became more, and after glancing at the Queen Mother, who was already confused, the white-haired man continued: "Before ordinary people take medicine, they should also ask what the contraindications and indications of this medicine are. Ordinary medicines for the treatment of wind and cold can kill people if they are not eaten well, she is so bold that she doesn't even ask about taboos when she takes elixir, isn't that damned? ”
"Taboo ...... Damn......" The Queen Mother repeated these words repeatedly in her mouth, and after a while, she said to Wu Mian: "Then...... What are the contraindications? How to eat to live forever? ”
Wu Mian saw the Queen Mother's tightly clenched right hand, and after a pause, he said: "Eat the medicine, immortality is taboo." After that, it's immortality. ”
"Well, if you eat it, you will live forever, and if you eat the pill, I won't age......" muttering to herself, the Queen Mother put the pill into her mouth, and after surging up and down in her throat, she swallowed the pill the size of a broad bean.
At the moment when the pill was swallowed, a satisfied smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face. She turned around and looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and said to herself, "I'm not dead...... I live forever...... Don't ......" The last word was not finished, and the queen mother's body had fallen straight to the ground. Just in the blink of an eye, the queen mother, who almost gave up the Han people, died.
Looking at the body of the Queen Mother lying on the ground, Guangzhi frowned. Thinking of the pain he had suffered when he became an immortal, the first disciple of the Bait Island Dafang Master broke out in a cold sweat. Compared with monks who have a certain amount of magic, ordinary people who have no foundation in magic generally die extremely quickly after taking the pill, and they don't feel any pain at all.
However, the more profound the great monk, the more painful it is to die when resisting the medicinal properties. Even if he is lucky enough not to die, he has taken off a layer of skin, and Guangzhi, who has experienced it once, has personally experienced this experience, and now turned his gaze to the side, and went to see the corpses of the queen mother and the palace maid. And Wu Mian, who has also experienced all this, seems to be fine.
"Actually, you don't have to waste that pill" Guangzhi glanced at Wu Mian, who had not changed at all, and continued: "If you don't want to get a woman's blood, just take the pill away." She has lost tonight's matter, and the power of the court is still in Wang Mang's hands. When the time comes, Da Sima contacts the empress dowager in the palace, and the two of them will join forces to plunge her into a place of no return. Why are you so wicked? I also wasted an elixir......"
"Because the elixir is mine, I can give it to whoever I want, whether he is dead or alive." Wu Mian glanced at Guangzhi and continued slowly: "This matter is not over yet, who will take the next pill?" Emperor? Or Wang Mang......"
Early the next morning, news came from the palace that the Empress Dowager Fu had a sudden emergency and died in the palace. Contrary to previous conventions, after the death of the queen mother, she did not wear the national uniform for a year according to the rules. On the contrary, the emperor issued several holy decrees in succession, and slaughtered Heng for the Duke of An Han and the Great Sima Wang Mang, and was above the kings. A few hours later, Emperor Ping's second decree also followed, and Wang Mang added the ritual vessel of Jiuxi. At the time, this was already the highest reward.
Half a month later, Empress Ding was deposed. Emperor Ping married Wang Mang's daughter Wang Yan as the empress, and added Wang Mang's Taifu - the highest official position since the founding of the Han Dynasty.
And Wang Mang did not refuse to come, so he has been tossing for more than a month before the government can be considered stable. However, since then, no one has mentioned the violent death of the Empress Dowager, as if everyone has forgotten that Emperor Ping's biological mother has died.
During this time, Guangzhi, who was used to being quiet, couldn't stand the guests sent to the Great Sima Mansion. I found an opportunity to say goodbye to Wang Mang, but what I didn't expect was that this time Da Sima didn't keep it, but just sent a lot of gold and silver gifts, and personally sent Guangzhi out of Da Sima's mansion. In this way, Guangzhi also lived in Yan Zheng's private house.
During this period of time, there was no return. Bai Wuqiu was still nervous at the beginning, but there has been no news of the old guy's death for so many days. Under the guidance of Xiao Rensan. This stunned man slowly got used to it. It also guessed that the old guy didn't know where to wave at this time, or the wave was enough, or the spell on his body was empty again, and he would come out again.
These days are three months after that, and although it doesn't seem like a big thing, there are still a few small things that look strange. One of the small things, Yan Zheng went home more often. When Wu Mian and the others first arrived in Chang'an City, Yan Zheng was busy as if he was the doppelganger of the Great Sima. often came back occasionally to say hello to Wu Mian and them, and if he couldn't say a word, he had to go back to guard Da Sima.
Now that it has completely changed, after Wang Mang's daughter became the queen, Wang Mang let Yan Zheng return to his house to rest every once in a while. It is said that don't neglect great monks like Wu Mian and Guangzhi, but after a long time, Yan Zheng found that as long as he was not in the Great Sima Mansion, there would be a few new faces guarding Wang Mang.
Yan Zheng had a penchant for defecting to the powerful as a guest, and at that time he thought it was because Wang Mang didn't want to keep him anymore. immediately found an opportunity to ask Da Sima to resign, but he didn't expect that after Wang Mang heard it, he tried his best to keep it, saying that he would not let Yan Zheng leave.
Looking at the world, apart from the emperor, is there any other mansion comparable to Wang Mang? Under the graciously retention of Da Sima, Yan Zheng eliminated his intention to leave. Anyway, Da Sima still treats himself with courtesy, except for constantly giving himself holidays, there is nothing wrong with it.
At the moment, Yan Zheng also dismissed his plan to leave the Great Sima Mansion. Anyway, the political situation in the DPRK is stable, and there is no need for him to stay by Da Sima's side to protect him, and Yan Zheng is also happy to talk with Wu Mian and Guangzhi in his private house every day.
A few days later, news suddenly came from the palace that the emperor had a serious illness. Seeing that the day is not as good as the day, I can't even get out of bed in the blink of an eye. The imperial physicians in the palace have seen it all, but they can't see what illness the emperor has.
In the past few days, Yan Zheng finally began to be busy, and Wang Mang stayed in the palace every day, worried that Emperor Ping would suddenly take a driver, and suddenly he didn't respond. And Yan Zheng stayed by Wang Mang's side, preventing the emperor from kicking his legs, and someone took advantage of this opportunity to suddenly attack and peep into the emperor's seat.
Finally one day, Yan Zheng sent someone to deliver the news, Emperor Ping, Yan Jia. Wang Mang, who monopolized the power, did not welcome the new monarch, but only set up Liu Ying as the crown prince.
After the news came, Guangzhi and the others were extremely surprised by Wang Mang's changes. Only Wu Mian sneered and said, "The next step is to ask for the elixir......
