Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Two
"How long did he prescribe the medicine?"
"Back to the saint, Imperial Doctor Cai said, enough to last until your birthday."
Li Hongzhi was exhausted, he supported his forehead with one hand, closed his eyes, covered up the bloodshot eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "The poison in the palace, that's what you said, right?" β
Sanyu sighed lightly and said helplessly, "Yes." β
I don't know if it's because of the cold weather or because of the cold heart, Li Hongzhi only felt that his whole body was trembling, his hands were hidden in his sleeves, and he gradually curled up.
The winter in this palace is really much colder than outside.
"You personally pick people and take care of Aei. His next food, decoction and medicine must all go through your hands, and he can't have an accident. Li Hongzhi closed his eyes and frowned.
"Yes."
In one life, there are too many last resorts and no choices.
What kind of life a person wants to live, he has to pay a lot of price, he has to fight, he has to compromise, he has to be tough, and he has to show weakness.
In the past few decades, Li Hongzhi has suffered all the grievances that should have been suffered, and he has also suffered what he should not have suffered.
Everyone in the world says that it is good to be an emperor.
But what is good about being an emperor?
Ordinary people still have a choice, they can choose who they love or who they don't love, and as an emperor, life is written on the chessboard, and they can't make a mistake.
He can save many lives, but many times, no one can save them.
"Whoever you find out, bring them to me first."
"The minion knows." Seeing that Li Hongzhi had his eyes closed all the time, exhausted and piled up, but he refused to really fall asleep, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and persuaded: "Holy Lord, you haven't rested for a few days, why don't you take advantage of this time to go inside and rest for a while?" β
Li Hongzhi shook his head: "Don't sleep, you go get me some strong tea." β
Sanyu nodded, bent down and stepped out.
After a long time, Li Hongzhi got up from the chair and slowly walked into the inner room where Ah Rong was lying.
There are three layers of bedding on his body, two braziers in the room, the doors and windows are closed, it is very warm, and he will sweat a little after staying for a long time.
Cai Chen said that Ayi's poison cannot be solved by bloodletting. It is likely that the blood has been drained, and the poison has not been discharged, so try to drain it through the skin, but because of the special situation now, Li Hongzhi has people watching him all the time, and he can't move too much, so he has to use this method, and within half an hour, someone needs to wipe the whole body of Ah Ei.
And now by Li Hongzhi's side, except for Sanyu, other people can no longer use it.
Li Hongzhi counted the time, and in half an hour, he had to wipe his body.
He guarded Ei until Sanyu came in.
"Holy Lord, Imperial Doctor Cai just asked someone to send some food supplements."
"Is the person who sent the prescription reliable?"
"Reliable, it's Imperial Doctor Cai's own people."
"Show me."
A neatly folded piece of white paper, with powerful handwriting almost through the back of the paper, the things on it are all things that are usually easy to touch, so if Sanyu takes it, no one will be suspicious.
"He's got a heart." Li Hongzhi said, folded the recipe and handed it to Sanyu, and then said, "You can buy it according to the above." After a while, it's time to wipe Aei's body. β
"Remember, minions."
"Let's arrange it now."
Sanyu looked at Li Hongzhi, stopped talking, then blinked his eyes and said, "Holy Lord, the slave is going." β
"Hmm." Li Hongzhi waved his hand.
This time, Sanyu went for more than an hour before returning, and when he came back, Li Hongzhi had already fallen asleep on the chair, and the clothes covered by his body had slipped to the ground.
Sanyu still had clean water and a towel in his hand, hurriedly put it aside, walked over quickly to pick up the clothes, and carefully covered Li Hongzhi again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he met Li Hongzhi, he woke up.
"Holy ......"
Li Hongzhi rubbed his red eyes, turned his head to look at Ah Ei, waved his hand and said, "You wipe him." β
He stood up and gave way.
Sanyu nodded, took the basin and towel, and dug Ei out of the quilt.
When Cai Chen left, he had already stripped off all the clothes on his body, leaving only a pair of underwear, and now Sanyu was waiting for him to get up, which was very convenient.
The towel dipped in warm water, little by little, was carefully wiped on Aei's body, from the front to the back, from the face to the feet, inch by inch, wiped clean, and then stuffed him back in.
Ah Ei was originally an active personality and had a short temper, but now he is so quiet and well-behaved and silent, which makes Sanyu very unaccustomed.
He patted the quilt and said, "Ah, you have to hold on." β
As if he had heard it, the sound of humming in pain was slight.
Sanyu covered the quilt for him, and saw that beads of sweat slowly came out of his face, he sighed, went out with a basin, and just closed the door, he raised his eyes and saw Li Hongzhi holding his head with one hand, and holding a fold in the other hand, looking carefully.
Sensing that Sanyu was coming out, Li Hongzhi raised his head and beckoned at him.
Sanyu brought the basin in his hand to the door, instructed the palace maid outside the door to take it and pour it, turned around and walked quickly to Li Hongzhi's side.
"Look at it." Li Hongzhi smiled, but there was no warmth.
The things in the fold really make people laugh, and it really makes people angry.
"I really don't know whether to say that he is good for his life, or whether to say that he is not good for his life."
"Broken boat."
"This is a decision not to come to the birthday banquet, then send a message to Gu Li and arrest him first."
"But Aei......"
Li Hongzhi glanced at the upper room, then looked at Sanyu, and muttered, "You go." β
For so many years, Sanyu has been by Li Hongzhi's side since he was a child, and he has left almost no more than two hands.
Now, he's leaving.
The time to leave will not be long or short, but anything can happen.
"Holy Lord, the minions can't leave you alone in the palace." Sanyu almost fell to his knees.
Li Hongzhi rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Now I don't trust anyone except you. The people who Gu Li stayed in the palace have all been sent out to do things, and now Ah Rong has an accident again......
"The Holy One doesn't have to worry." Sanyu interjected.
Li Hongzhi's expression suddenly froze, he closed his palms and stared at Sanyu in front of him tightly, and there was an uneasy emotion growing in his heart.
"You...... What did you do with me on your back? β
Sanyu was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed heavily on the ground.
He understands that Li Hongzhi is a very smart person.
Above the court and in the harem, it is extremely taboo to form parties for personal gain and buy connections.
Many people have been exposed to these two things.
Including Sanyu.
This is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and whoever is stupid will die.
"The saint is angry, the slave has indeed bought a lot of people in the palace over the years, but the slave has never done anything to hurt the saint, please enlighten the saint."
Li Hongzhi's eyes widened slightly, and then closed his eyes again.
He's really a soldier.
"You get up first, it's naΓ―ve. You have followed me for so many years, gaining a foothold in the harem, if you didn't have some means, you might have died a long time ago. Li Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "Can you trust those people?" β
"Yes."
"Then use it."
"Holy Lord, in fact, over the years, the servants have indeed carried the Holy Lord behind their backs and replaced the people in the palace little by little. Now in the harem, half of the people are slaves. β
Li Hongzhi was a little surprised, he didn't know that the stupid kid back then could do such a thing for him.
"Where did they come from?"
"It was a group of fatherless and motherless children, and the slaves arranged for them to enter the palace and blend in with the concubines. Many of them made mistakes and lost their lives here, and many of them could not stay in the palace, so the servants thought of a reason and sent them to work outside the palace. After Sanyu finished speaking, he observed Li Hongzhi's face, and then added: "They are all a group of loyal people." β
"Then use it. I heard that Wu Xiang has already rushed into the palace to see the Queen Mother, and they should have already started to replace the people in the palace, right? β
"Yes. The minions of the people, some remained. β
Li Hongzhi nodded, picked up the strong tea that had been warmed in his hand, and poured a big sip into it, and the bitter taste instantly made him frown.
He licked his lips: "Since that's the case, then use the medicine boy left by Cai Chen as well." β
"The minion understood."
It's late at night, and the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are all ready to move.
When Gu Li got the news, it was already almost dawn.
He opened the door, and outside the door stood a young man whose lips were purple from the cold, and he kept stomping his feet and rubbing his arms because of the cold.
It's a strange face.
Gu Li dragged him into the firewood room, and all the brothers in Mei Shi turned their heads to look at this newcomer, their eyes staring at their bodies, as if they were pierced by sharp arrows, which made people uncomfortable.
The young man shrunk his neck, carefully took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Gu Li.
Gu Li didn't stretch out his hand and asked, "Who asked you to send the letter?" β
The young man cowered, he had never seen such a formation when he was so old, his back was pressed against the door, and he said, "It's the one in the palace." β
Gu Li frowned slightly, grabbed the letter, opened it three times and divided it by two, and swept it by ten lines at a glance, and understood a general idea in his heart.
Sure enough, something happened to Ah Ei.
"What's the situation now?"
The young man swallowed his saliva and said: "The situation is grim, both sides are changing, the younger one is taking this opportunity to be replaced by the chief manager to deliver the letter, and he can't return to the palace after that." β
Gu Li thought for a while, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry, I will arrange for you." β
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, the young man also smiled and said, "This doesn't bother Gu Commander to worry, the small one is outside the palace, and it has its own place to go." β
Gu Li was stunned: "That's good." β
The young man nodded, and was about to take his leave.
Gu Limu escorted him out of the farm, threw the letter into the brazier, turned to his gang of brothers and said, "Prepare to prepare, let's enter the palace at night." β
