Chapter 146: Pills
The spring cold is not over.
The spring breeze blows on the body, still with a chill.
Concubine Shu did not immediately state her sins, but only looked at the people who were waiting on the left and right.
The emperor looked at her in the eyes.
It's obvious that he is here to ask for sin, but he still has to retreat from the people on the side.
I don't know how sincere there is in this petition.
The emperor secretly sneered in his heart, but he didn't force Concubine Shu, and turned his head to glance at Gonggong Xu.
Gong Xu took the others and stepped back.
When the two parties retreated, leaving only him and Concubine Shu, the emperor said, "Say it." ”
"Your Majesty." Concubine Shu said softly, and then, her right hand reached into her left sleeve.
The emperor watched her movements, did not stop her, and did not move.
He wasn't worried about any change in the concubine.
Concubine Shu has some fists and embroidered legs, in the end, she was born in troubled times, she learned more or less, so that she would not be powerless.
But when she was born, it was not far from the end of the troubled times.
didn't practice for a few years, and the Great Zhou built a dynasty.
The imperial examination was revived, and a large number of students poured into the examination room, wanting to come out on top.
Concubine Shu's father and uncle were also among them, and they passed the examination successively and entered the officialdom, and the young girl became the daughter of the official family, so she didn't have to learn the method of being around again.
And the emperor, as the son of the first emperor, practiced diligently, and even after ascending the throne, martial arts did not fall behind.
Although he has slackened in recent years, in terms of skill, reaction, and strength, he is far above Concubine Shu.
What's more, the emperor didn't believe that Concubine Shu would be in trouble.
It's stupid.
He didn't like Shufei that much, but he never thought Shufei was stupid.
How can a woman who can please her mother be stupid?
Smart people don't do stupid things.
At the same time, this also made him even more curious about what the smart concubine wanted to ask for.
What Concubine Shu took out was a porcelain vase.
The bottle is white, without any lines, and its appearance is unremarkable.
Concubine Shu opened the bottle and poured out a few pills from it.
The size of a thumb nail, jet black and shiny, and a faint medicinal fragrance.
"What is this?" The emperor asked.
Concubine Shu said: "It seems to be a beauty pill." ”
"Like?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "You don't even know what you brought?" ”
Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and said, "You listen to the concubine's explanation."
Although she is one of the four concubines, she has no children under her knees, and she has not been able to see the emperor from time to time over the years, and the concubines are actually very panicked.
The concubine used to always think that the harem is like this, some people rise and some fall, no matter what, the concubine has the title of 'Shu Concubine', which is already better than countless sisters, and she should not be dissatisfied.
However, the concubine saw that Liu Zhaorong had won your love again.
She was the same age as her concubines, she also had no children and no daughters, and she had been silent for many years, and suddenly she was favored.
The concubine couldn't help it, went to see her, and looked at her face, she was so radiant, which was completely different from the concubine's impression.
So, the concubine asked her if there was any elixir that could help her be refreshed.
Liu Zhaorong was scared by the concubine's question, saying that she was eating beauty pills.
This beauty pill was originally commonly used by Concubine Shun, and it is also the reason why she has been favored for so many years.
Previously, the emperor was annoyed by Concubine Shun because of the matter of His Royal Highness, and she had to let herself look sluggish, and she couldn't be in good spirits, so she stopped the pill.
This pill can't be kept for a long time, and it must be used as soon as possible after it is baked, Liu Zhaorong accidentally learned about it, bought the channel boy, and obtained the pill.
The concubine has been talking about her for a long time, and a few days ago, she just gave a few to the concubine.
The concubine was overjoyed, and was about to use it, when she heard and heard that the third division had taken away a spy from the national teacher.
How dare the concubines eat it?
If you eat it and damage the body of the concubine, it is nothing, if it hurts the emperor because of this, the concubine should die.
The concubine thought that Concubine Shun had used this pill all year round, and Liu Zhaorong had also used it in recent months, would it hurt the emperor, and the concubine was uneasy, so she took this pill to ask for guilt.
This incident stems from the concubine's longing for the emperor, but she forgets that men and women are connected.
When the prescription is applied to a woman, it will also ......"
Speaking of this, Concubine Shu seemed to be ashamed, her phoenix eyes were red, she glanced at the emperor, worried, and lowered her tears again.
The emperor's eyebrows furrowed into a ravine.
"The national teacher has refined the elixir, and Concubine Shun has used it all year round?" The emperor asked.
"That's what Liu Zhaorong said," replied Concubine Shu, "and after she started taking medicine herself, her spirits were getting better day by day. ”
The emperor said: "Since Concubine Shun has eaten for so many years, I am also healthy, and it should be okay for my body, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Ten or twenty years is fine, but what about thirty or forty years?" Concubine Shu asked rhetorically, "The emperor is the king of a country, and there must not be the slightest damage." The concubine said something rebellious, you have not yet had a satisfied prince and grandson, if you are in good health, what should Da Zhou do? ”
The emperor's eyes flashed with a sharp color.
Concubine Shu saw it, but when she didn't find it, she continued: "In this way, only Concubine Shun knows, and that's it." Now there is Liu Zhaorong, and the concubines have also learned.
When Concubine Shun survived this hard time, what did she have to rely on to compare Liu Zhaorong?
Will she let the national teacher change the prescription that is harmful to her body for Liu Zhaorong, or will she take more powerful medicine herself.
For the sake of the emperor, the national teacher will definitely not come nonsense, but what about the other Taoist leaders under him?
When the time comes, everyone will eat it, and the new recipe will really not go wrong?
What's more, if you find out a spy, is there anything that hasn't been found out, and the spy makes a harmful pill, then the emperor ......"
As she spoke, Concubine Shu's voice trembled.
It was obviously her inference and speculation, but she was frustrated by her tone and said as if she had seen it with her own eyes and had already happened.
The emperor's face was even worse.
He motioned to Concubine Shu to put the pill back into the porcelain bottle, snatched it, and said coldly: "I know about this, and I also know Concubine Shu's intentions." Don't make a big deal out of it, just step down. ”
Concubine Shu looked at the empty palm and answered.
She saluted and walked away.
When she couldn't look back at the emperor anymore, the reluctance on Concubine Shu's face faded away.
The spring breeze is blowing, a little cool, and with the breathing, the heart is relaxed.
She loved this kind of early spring.
Because, soon, in the spring breeze, the peach, plum and apricot blossoms will open one after another, lively and beautiful.
It's full of anticipation.
On the other hand, the emperor is still standing in place.
Gonggong Xu didn't dare to step forward, he stood far away, and didn't hear what the emperor and Concubine Shu said, but he could feel that the emperor was in a bad mood.
If it was anxiety and grievance before, now it is anger.
That anger, I didn't vent, I just endured it.
I don't know when it will explode.
Gonggong Xu pondered when the emperor would be angry, and when he saw the emperor turn around silently, he hurriedly raised his steps and chased after him.
The emperor was in a hurry, and from the direction, it seemed that he was going to Liu Zhaorong's palace.
Gonggong Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Zhaorong has been very good at pleasing the emperor recently.
With her to talk to the emperor, the anger in the emperor's heart should be able to disperse a lot, right?
The emperor is comfortable, and the people who serve them are also comfortable.
