In the dark, Li Zhi's thoughts gradually condensed, but his eyelids were very heavy, and he didn't have the strength to open them for a while.

There seems to be a voice ringing in my ears......

It's Mei Niang's voice that makes people pass on medicine.

There were also slight sobbing and comforting sounds......

It's peaceful.

Li Zhi came to his senses in an instant, and then, he took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes hard.

At this time, the deep voice of the imperial physician Qin Heming sounded in his ears first: "Your Majesty is awake, Your Majesty don't move." ”

The soft light sent into Li Zhi's extremely tired eyes, and he immediately saw that it was the imperial doctor Qin Heming in front of him.

Qin Heming was beside the royal couch and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's okay, the minister will take off the silver needle first." ”

Li Zhi's eyes blinked slightly, and then saw Qin Heming being careful, but neatly pulling out a few silver needles, Li Zhi suddenly felt that the whole person was completely relaxed.

He couldn't help but turn his head, and then saw Empress Wu at first sight.

"Mei Niang, I'm fine." Li Zhi opened his mouth with reason and effort, smiled reluctantly, then turned his head to look at Qin Heming and asked, "I, what's wrong?" ”

Qin Heming groaned slightly, and said cautiously: "There is a solar eclipse in the sky, yin and yang are transformed, Your Majesty's body is already uneasy, the qi of yin and yang is reversed, and he faints all of a sudden, but there is no big problem, it will be fine in three or five days." ”

Li Zhi's expression calmed down, a trace of gloom flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he nodded and said, "How is Chaozhong?" ”

Empress Wu stretched out her hand and grabbed the emperor's wrist, and said in a low voice: "There is nothing to do in the court, after Your Majesty fainted, the Qin Imperial Doctor immediately started to heal, and it quickly stabilized."

Everything was in order, and the concubine ordered the left minister to re-seat in Shangshu Province, plan the affairs of Taiwan, and also stabilize the people's hearts. ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhi nodded and said, "It's hard for him, he's not too young." ”

Liu Renliang is twenty-seven years older than Li Zhi, and he has already been a member of the general chapter for three years, but the defeat of Dafeichuan happened, so he was reactivated.

This use has been used for more than ten years, and it was supposed to be a tribute again this year, but the emperor insisted on staying again.

Fortunately, he stayed, and with Liu Renliang in the court, everything could be stabilized

"Everything is in order, the water control and the western expedition are all in order, but the matter of the eastern tour has been temporarily suspended." Empress Wu whispered a few important things.

The emperor nodded and said, "It is true that it should be slowed down. ”

The eastern tour of Luoyang is a major event, and it is carried out every year.

But now, the emperor is in the Zichen Palace, fainting directly under the eyes of the hundred officials, and the news can't be covered up at all.

At most, it's just a delay in the leakage of news.

But what is the emperor's health, many people are not optimistic.

In this case, there is no point in forcing it.

Empress Wu was silent, but only after a slight pause, she said hatefully: "The matter of the solar eclipse, both the government and the opposition blame the Turkic people for their bad nature, and the Western Turks and DTZs are all like this. ”

"Also, the two times I fainted before and after were caused by the turmoil of the Turks." Li Zhi looked up and looked outside.

The sunlight shone in clearly, and Li Zhi finally couldn't help but ask, "What time is it?" ”

"Six quarters." Empress Wu shook her head slightly, looked at Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty has been in a coma for half a day and half a night. ”

Li Zhi's eyes twitched slightly, but the whole person had completely relaxed: "Is it only half a day and a half night?" ”

"Hmm!" Empress Wu said in a low voice: "The courtiers were indeed panicked at first, but the imperial doctors said that there was no big problem, and the courtiers were relieved. ”

Li Zhi smiled faintly, then looked to the side and said, "Taiping, I heard her crying just now." ”

"Father, son-in-law." Princess Taiping walked up briskly from one side, with tears and smiles on her small face, which looked a little funny.

"You're so old, you can't take good care of yourself, what about the colt?" Li Zhi's voice was slightly cold.

"The horse was still there just now, but he was called a favor by his sons to help the emperor's brother." After a slight pause, Princess Taiping said: "Xue Lang, the crown prince, and Brother Xiang are all in the Mingde Hall now, and Xue Xiang is in charge of taking care of them, and nothing else is going on." ”

Li Zhi instantly understood, the prince left the Daming Palace and returned to the East Palace, just to tell the world that the emperor was fine.

It's the second day now, and even if the news is suppressed, it has spread completely.

But fortunately, there is Liu Renliang in Zhongshu Province, there is Empress Wu in the harem, and there is the prince in the East Palace, and there is not much difference from all parties, and the hearts of the people in Chang'an can be considered stable.

If Li Xian had been staying in Daming Palace, it would have been difficult for others to think that the emperor would have little time.

Now that Li Xian is in the East Palace, people will not be too suspicious.

Li Zhi nodded slightly, then looked at Qin Heming and asked, "Qin Qing, can I still tour the east this time?" ”

"Yes!" Qin Heming didn't hesitate much, he took out a red porcelain bottle from his body, handed it to the emperor's pillow, and then said: "The minister needs to acupuncture for His Majesty for three days every day, in addition, His Majesty needs to take this bottle of medicine every day, after seven days, Your Majesty should be able to do nothing, and then prepare properly, and the eastern tour will be fine." ”

Li Zhi nodded, looked up at Empress Wu and said, "Mei Niang, pass the decree, April 16, go east to Chang'an." ”

"Whoa!" Empress Wu immediately gave up her hand, and then quickly went out to pass on her life, and when the emperor's words came out, the entire government and the opposition could immediately feel completely at ease.

Li Zhi looked down at Princess Taiping on the side and said, "Taiping, you go to King Peng's Mansion and bring the Lord of Fuchang County, these days, the two of you will be on your side." ”

"Whoa!" Princess Taiping looked at Li Zhi in surprise, she didn't expect that the emperor really valued those rumors so much.

Li Zhi raised his left hand and gently stroked the top of Princess Taiping's head, and then said in a low voice: "Fuchang Taiping, Taiping Fuchang, can I feel at ease, isn't it?" ”

"It's my daughter's mistake, my daughter will go now." Princess Taiping immediately stood up, blessed slightly, and then walked away quickly.

Li Zhi looked at the housekeeper on the side and said, "Pass on the prince and the prince." ”

"Whoa!" Abandon the man, and then walk away quickly.

Everyone can see that the emperor deliberately separates people.

Looking up at Qin Heming, the emperor asked directly, "What's the matter with this medicine, why have I never seen it before." ”

Qin Heming bowed his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, this medicine was only recently figured out by the minister and several imperial doctors, and it was used by King Peng who brought back the medicinal materials from Fanzhou last year. ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly, and then asked, "What did King Peng say?" ”

The emperor's seemingly casual question made Qin Heming pause.

Not only him, but on the left and right sides of the bed, the imperial physician Li Qianzong and the imperial physician Du Wenyu were all silent.

Qin Heming reacted immediately, bowed slightly and said: "The minister met him last year when King Peng handed over the medicine to the emperor, and at that time, King Peng said that let the ministers and others study the medicinal materials brought back from Fanzhou as soon as possible, and then refine the medicinal materials that are useful to Your Majesty." ”

Taking a breath gently, Qin Heming continued: "King Peng originally planned to do it himself, but he stepped down from the post of Shangyao Fengyu, so it was not good to interfere again, and then the ministers were doing it, as for King Peng, after that, the ministers never saw him again." ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly, looked at the red medicine bottle, and asked, "How to take this medicine?" ”

"One pill at a time." Qin Heming looked at Li Zhi and said seriously: "The previous medicine, no matter what, stop it all, just this flavor medicine is enough." ”

Li Zhi was silent, his body was hidden from everyone, but he couldn't hide it from the imperial doctors who helped him diagnose his patients every day.

Immediately, Li Zhi reacted, looked at Qin Heming and said, "Just this flavor medicine is enough." ”

"Hmm!" Qin Heming nodded directly and said, "This will be the case for half a year, and after half a year, the ministers and others need to follow and observe His Majesty's body, and appropriately add and decrease medicines." ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's it, I need to take a break, come here, and pass on the prince." ”

"Whoa!" The waiter on the side immediately bowed his hand, and then quickly turned to leave.

The imperial physicians on both sides also bowed their hands at the same time and retreated behind the curtains on both sides.

The gauze curtain on the couch was also slowly lowered.

Under the green curtain, the light is incomparably soft, as if you have come to another world.

Li Zhi lay on the bed alone, sighed heavily, and closed his eyes slightly.

At this time, although he was able to speak and his mind was unusually clear, there was still endless coldness in his body.

Especially in the knees of the legs, there are bursts of pain.

This situation was three points worse than when he was in the winter, and he even doubted that he would be able to stand up again.

However, in this case, he had already survived it in winter, and now it is not a problem to survive any longer.

Li Zhi's eyes looked at the inside of the pillow, where there was a bottle of medicine, and after taking it, endless heat would rush into Li Zhi's body, helping him dispel the cold in his body.

But this situation is just a symptom, and deeper inside, the hidden dangers of Li Zhi's body are even heavier.

If it weren't for the other hope in his heart, Li Zhi would not have taken such a drug.

But now......

Looking sideways at the red porcelain bottle, Li Zhi seemed to see Qin Heming and others, studying drugs day and night.

His own situation, these imperial doctors and imperial doctors are not unclear, since they dare to do this......

Li Zhi's figure suddenly popped out of Li Zhi's mind, as if he saw the helplessness of Li Xuan and Qin Heming and the others.

Perhaps with Li Xuan's participation, this medicine could be refined earlier......

In an instant, Li Zhi's eyes became cold.

How can this kind of thing, which is directly related to one's own life, involve the clan.

Although he knew that Li Xuan would definitely not have any selfish thoughts, it was better to let him get involved in this kind of thing as much as possible.

Li Zhi suddenly smiled inexplicably, and said softly: "Maybe he shouldn't be allowed to go to any battlefield from the beginning, let him stay in the palace, and it is best to be a medicine and serve the emperor all the time." ”

Li Zhi smiled, and suddenly shook his head, he knew that if Li Xuan hadn't fought hard to Tubo, they wouldn't have been able to get all kinds of medicines that the Tubo royal family had treasured for so many years.

This reminded Li Zhi a little of the conversation they had in the Zhenguan Hall in the second year of the Shangyuan Dynasty.

Now it seems that everything has been fulfilled as it was originally.

Turning his head sideways, Li Zhi took the medicine with some effort, and immediately, a shallow feeling of warmth rushed directly into his body.

Slow and unstoppable.

The coldness in the body slowly disappeared in an instant, like a melting snow peak.

Li Zhi closed his eyes gently.
