Chapter 128: The First Smell of the Situation
Chapter 128 is the first to hear about it
The source of the recipe for the Soul Suppression Pill is the Red Village Secret Treasure Splendid Poison Scroll, which is an antidote mentioned in the annotations of the eighteen kinds of poisons, and it is not a solution to a certain poison, so there is no detailed explanation.
Yi Yu is very interested in this kind of detoxification elixir itself, this is not a recipe can be made, the medicine is difficult to find, not to mention, the treatment of medicinal materials, the steps are detailed, there is a little mistake in the medicine, it is possible to make the effect of the medicine thousands of miles away, she has been practicing outside for two years, Xiao Fei in the Python Mountain has been taught every day, and in Pushaluo with the white barbarians to distinguish all kinds of different herbs, learned a lot of partial methods, but she does not dare to guarantee that this soul pill can be made in a short time.
Therefore, as soon as she heard Li Tai speak, she responded, checked the growth of several other herbs separately, and returned to the front yard with Li Tai.
The pharmacy is on the highest three-story building in the Jade Courtyard, and it is arranged in the same way as the Comb Pavilion, except that the window opening direction is different, and you can see the flower garden in the backyard on one side, and the lake on the other, and the air is very good.
She walked around, touched the bowl, bottle, pestle and bowl that she hadn't touched for a long time, and then wrote out the prescription to Li Tai, and when she saw him take it and browse it carefully, her mind moved, and she asked tentatively:
"But can you tell me, what do you need an antidote for?"
She asked carefully, but Li Tai had already planned to explain some secrets to her, and he took this opportunity to sit down beside her, took the brush, took out a blank piece of paper, and wrote:
"The country is divided into ten provinces, Kun Yuanlu will be divided into three hundred and seventeen prefectures, and there are forty-one governors' mansions, and there are one thousand five hundred and fifty-one large, medium and small counties. Wei Wangfu was built for six years, so far in the 48 continents of Xinjiang, 161 counties have I assigned manpower, warriors, spies, the former on my behalf, the latter to explore the news, but the warriors are difficult to collect, spies are difficult to raise, and in order to prevent these two, more like to use poison to kill, my hands outside, about fifty percent of the annual loss is poison injuries can not be treated and died, it is difficult to make up for it, if there is this antidote elixir, can reduce my losses a lot, speed up the power of control, the more control, the more self-protection, the more palm, the more there is a competition. ”
This was the first time he had mentioned these secrets to Yi Yu, which made her shocked and excited, and while listening intently, she helped him study ink, and after he stopped writing, he looked at the numbers on his paper one by one, and then drew inferences:
"King Wu and the crown prince, do they also send people to various places like you?"
Li Tai circled those rows of numbers, and his eyes showed a slight coldness, "Not only the prince, but also the military generals of the Chinese court, there is no shortage of people who act like this, the Gao family, the eldest grandson, the Fang family, the Liu family - it's just a matter of more or less." ”
After hearing this, Yi Yu thought for a moment and sighed lightly:
"Although this Soul Suppression Pill is powerful, it is extremely difficult to do, and the cost of medicinal materials is high, even if I have worked out the process and made a medicine, and it really has the miraculous effect of curing all kinds of poisons, it is impossible to make a large amount of medicine, even if you can plant the red snake grass widely. I don't know how the gardeners of the palace made it, but it seems to me that it is extremely difficult, and you had better not get your hopes up too much for this pill just yet. ”
She saw Li Tai frowning, so she took the pen he had just put down, drew a piece of clean white paper, and continued to write and draw: "The reason why the Soul Suppression Pill is precious is that it can reverse the detoxification of the symptoms, emergency antidote, I have also studied the prescription in Pusaro City, and found that it is mixed with more than a dozen medicines, mostly for the internal organs of the human body, if you give me more time, I can try to simplify it, although it cannot cure a hundred poisons, but it can be used to solve more than a dozen common poisons." ”
Li Tai took the paper she had written, and saw that there were more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials in the book, most of which were easy to see and easy to find, and knew that she intended to reduce the cost of drugs to make this prescription more feasible, and when he looked up, he saw that she looked a little nervous and asked:
"Do you think that's going to work?"
She is like this, she seems to be thinking about the people she cares about anytime and anywhere, but she doesn't care how much she gets, he looks at her, and suddenly remembers that she was sick before marriage, he went to pick her up, and her mother said in front of the door-
You have to understand her good.
He naturally understands her best.
"It's feasible," Li Tai folded the two pieces of paper and put them in his sleeves, seeing that her face showed joy, obviously helping him do something, as if he had won some reward, he couldn't help but want to touch her head and praise her, and he did it.
Yi Yu was suddenly reached over by him and patted twice on the head, for some reason he became shy, and turned his head sideways to fiddle with the pouch on his waist, only revealing a white and tender ear with a red pearl jade pendant, I don't know that her posture is particularly annoying, so that the man opposite has a dark look, stretches out his index finger and traces it along her ear, so teasing that she itches and shrinks her neck.
The atmosphere changed from being serious to ambiguous, but at this time, I heard a voice outside the door:
"Lord, the emperor has sent someone to announce the edict."
Yi Yu sat up straight all of a sudden, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Tai, knowing that her position was finally completely decided.
In front of the front hall of the Wei Palace, kneeling down a hundred and ten people, black pressed a head, in front of standing two relics of jade Li Tai, bowed and stood, opposite several eunuchs holding a vermilion lacquer box, and two deserts carried a wooden box in the back, a line of people in the palace read the edict, saying:
"The fourth son of the emperor, King Wei Li Tai, got married on the first day of this month, and the concubine Lu's relics have entered the royal jade, and they are matched with Li Tai, according to the annual routine, and the special reward is ten four-color silk horses, ten silk five-color horses, a set of four treasures of the internal study, four strings of Hetian jade beads, two sets of gold hairpins, and 500,000 coins.
"Thank you for your grace."
The husband and wife bowed down together, and Yu Yu bowed her head and stepped forward to receive the edict, but she was thinking about the last few words of her newly appointed father-in-law, "self-denial and virtue, virtuous and filial piety, gentleness and obedience", what is the special meaning.
"I've met Princess Wei, congratulations to Princess Wei."
"Congratulations to the princess."
Yi Yu carried the yellow leather edict, wearing a small stand-up collar gown with a red fat brocade, and looked at the adults wearing various official uniforms in front of her and saluted her, and bowed to her slender body, polite appearance, and looked sideways at the hundreds of people who were still kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt strange in his heart, both a little uncomfortable, and a special sense of expansion condensed in his chest.
Unconsciously, she shook her head secretly, she was just a mortal in the end, and it was the first time that she was bowed down by so many people, and even her vanity ran out. Turning his head to look at Li Tai again, he had an indifferent and ordinary attitude, as if these people should have bowed to him.
"Thank you, a few adults, please take a trip, Pingtong," Yi Yu gathered his mind, thanked a few people, and called again, Pingtong, who was waiting beside him, came over with a tray, on which were placed pieces of silver ingots wrapped in red cloth, one was full of ten taels, equivalent to half a month's worth of silver from a five-rank official, and it was a reward she prepared.
"This, this don't dare, don't dare," several officials turned their heads to look at Li Tai together, and heard Yi Yu smile and said, "It's a celebration, and a few adults should not be polite." ”
Saying that, he asked Pinghui to take it and offer it separately, and a few people saw that Li Tai's face was no different, so they thanked him, and they were happy, seeing that this Princess Wei looked gentle and generous, they couldn't help but compliment a few more words, and then said goodbye under Li Tai's cold eyes.
Yi Yu has no problem with Li Tai's temper, and he will not deliberately persuade him to give people a good face, after all, some people just have a kind of ability, even if they keep a straight face, it is difficult for people to have a bad feeling, Li Tai is such a typical example, just take her back to the literature museum a few times to see, those literati are in awe of him on the surface, and even a little afraid of him, but in their hearts they don't know how much they respect this erudite and serious prince.
Then Yiyu met with the subordinates who listened to the edict by the way, and said a few words kindly, Pingtong picked a few strong attendants and carried the palace reward to the backyard, Yiyu let the rest of the people disperse, and walked back with Li Tai by the way, enjoying the scenery by the way.
"Lord Wang," the two of them had just walked a few steps to the flower hall when they heard the call from behind, and turned to see that it was Du Chuke, who was still wearing a dark red regular uniform and a blue and black hat.
"Princess." Seeing Yi Yu's view, Du Chu nodded and saluted, and Yu Yu knew that he was not cold to himself, but he greeted politely on his face: "Lord Du is going down." ”
Du Chuke didn't smile, "The spring has passed, today is the palace election, and Du doesn't have to go to court." ”
Yi Yu was originally a kind sentence, but he blocked it back so seriously, raised his hand and rubbed his ears, did not answer again, and turned to Li Tai, "Your Highness will talk to Lord Du, I will go back to the room first." ”
"Wait," Li Tai didn't let her go, his eyes glanced at the long history of his tense face, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Du Chuke was a bit stereotyped, but he didn't have eyes at all, he hesitantly glanced at the Yu Yu who turned his head sideways and pretended to look at the scene, then opened his mouth to talk about things, talked about a few trivial matters left over from the wedding, and finally took out an invitation.
"This is what I just came from the porter to get it, King Wu is holding a banquet in Pingkangfang tonight, and I invite you to go with the princess."
Yi Yu listened to it for a while, then turned his head and glanced at the sandalwood piece post that Li Tai received in his hand, he only looked at it twice and then handed it to her.
"Several princes have come to Beijing to congratulate you on your wedding, and they haven't left yet, they must all be there tonight, and please be sure to go."
"This king knows."
Du Chuke didn't say anything more when he heard this, he waved at the two of them again, and then walked away in a hurry, taking the figure away, and the Yu Fang looked up and asked Li Taidao:
"Why does Master Du dislike me?"
It was a reason to offend the eldest grandson's family, she vaguely felt that there were other more important reasons, Du Chuke was the long history of the Wei Palace, and he could be regarded as Li Tai's right and left hand on the surface, she had no reason to make enemies with this person, and if she wanted to improve the relationship, she had to know where the contradictions were.
Li Tai raised his legs and walked down the corridor, "You don't have to pay attention to him." ”
After returning to Beijing after the tour, the case of stealing the library occurred, Li Tai was edicted into the palace, Li Shimin Xu transferred the vacancy of the Ministry of Ministers to Du Chuke, and promoted the Ministry of Works, Yan Rang, to be the Ministry of Works, and the only daughter Xu and Li Tai as concubines, such good intentions, but Li Tai in exchange for the deficit in the inner library, got a piece of holy oracle to give the concubine the jade, Du Chuke did not know where to hear about it, only to be suspicious of the jade, Li Tai deliberately concealed her father-son exchange that day, how could he say to listen to her.
