Chapter 517: Empress Xie eats the Divine Pill

After Empress Xie learned of the existence of the Divine Pill, she asked her younger brother, who is now Zhenguo Gong, to help her secretly buy some. I thought that the pill was hard to find, but I didn't expect Zhen Guogong to get it easily.

The seller learned that the Zhenguo Mansion wanted the Divine Pill, so he took the initiative to give him a bottle and let him eat it first. If he thinks the effect is good after eating it, ask him to buy it again.

Because Empress Xie confessed that she was not allowed to reveal to anyone that she was going to eat the Divine Pill, Zhenguo Gong could only pretend that he wanted to buy it. He himself was not interested in the elixir, and besides, he felt that he was very young and strong, and he didn't need to take any pills to become young and energetic. In fact, the main reason why he didn't eat the Divine Pill was because it was expensive. A divine pill is invaluable, not boasted, but true.

Since eating the Divine Pill, Empress Xie's body has become much better, and her whole person has become radiant, and she is ten years younger in an instant. In the past few years, because of her headache and poor health, her complexion is very poor, and she has a lot of wrinkles on her face, even if she eats Zihe car every day, it has not made her face better, let alone one less wrinkle on her face.

Just a few days ago, Queen Xie's old headache was committed again, and she was very sick. Not to mention dealing with harem chores, you just can't even get out of bed. She was sick and lay in bed for a month or two before she got up.

These days, her headache has finally been cured, but the whole person is haggard and old. Although she painted delicate makeup on her face, it could not hide her old face.

Whenever she saw her own face in the mirror, she didn't want to believe that it was hers. She couldn't believe she had gotten so old and so ugly.

She was so angry that she smashed all the mercury mirrors in Zhaoyang Palace, and ordered that not a single mercury mirror should appear in Zhaoyang Palace.

When Zhao Yao first made the mercury mirror, Queen Xie liked it very much, but after she got sick, she hated the mercury mirror more and more because she could find people clearly. She still likes the bronze mirror in the past, and she won't reveal the original form of the person.

After eating the Divine Pill, Empress Xie used the mercury mirror again. When she saw herself in the mirror, her complexion was getting better and better, and the wrinkles on her face and at the end of her eyes were slowly decreasing, and she felt that it was better to use a mercury mirror.

Today is the fifteenth, and it is the day when the harem concubines come to Zhaoyang Palace to ask for peace. Empress Xie got up early, she had finished her breakfast and was dressing up.

Jiang Chuan combed his hair very well. In the past, every time she combed Queen Xie's hair, she would be terrified, afraid that the queen would blame, because every time she combed Queen Xie's hair, there would be a strand of hair on the comb. She would secretly hide it from the Queen Mother.

After the queen fell ill, her hair not only fell out more and more, but also became more and more dry. However, since the queen mother ate the elixir, her hair has become much better, and it has gradually stopped falling. Now comb the queen's hair, and no longer worry about upsetting the mother.

Empress Xie kept staring at the face in the mirror, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became, and the more she looked, the happier she became.

"Niangniang, your current skin can be broken by blowing, your skin is like clotted fat, and the white is red." Jiang Chuan said a bit exaggerated, but Empress Xie's skin had indeed changed a lot, and she was no longer as sallow as before. "You used to have dull yellow skin because you were sick, and you didn't have any luster, but now your whole face is shining."

Empress Xie stretched out her hand and stroked her face, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth: "This palace feels that there are a lot fewer wrinkles on my face." ”

"Niangniang, the fine lines on your face can't be seen now if you don't look carefully." Jiang Chuan skillfully coiled Empress Xie's hair, "You eat the Divine Pill for a while, I'm afraid that you will go back to the time when you just arrived." ”

This sentence is said by Queen Xie, "It is impossible to return to the palace when you have just arrived." ”

"Niangniang, after a while, Concubine Rong will not be as good as you." When it came to Concubine Rong, Jiang Chuan's face was full of resentment, "You were sick before, your face was not good, Concubine Rong laughed at you for being old, but now that you have eaten the Divine Pill, you are getting younger and younger, compared to you, Concubine Rong is a yellow-faced woman." ”

Empress Xie's eyes sharpened, and her tone became cold: "Today, this palace will make Concubine Rong's slut look good." ”

"Niangniang, don't worry, the slave will definitely let you suppress Concubine Rong today." Jiang Chuan not only combs his hair well, but also knows how to put on makeup.

Empress Xie continued to stare at herself in the mirror, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt beautiful, "It's been a long time since I've been so happy in this palace." "Queen Xie has always been very concerned about her appearance, because her appearance is much worse than that of most concubines in the harem. Her only advantage is that she is younger than most of the concubines. However, because of illness, her youthful advantage suddenly disappeared.

After getting sick, she watched herself become old and yellow, and she was angry, anxious and panicked. Even she hates to see her sick and old face, let alone the emperor. Over the years, the emperor has come to Zhaoyang Palace more and more often. In order to make herself younger, she tried various methods and ate a lot of food, but the effect was minimal.

Hearing that the Shendan can make people better and make people younger, she hurriedly asked Xie Shi to buy it for her. Regardless of whether the elixir is as powerful as the legend says, she has to try it. I didn't expect that the elixir was really a miracle medicine, after she took it, her head didn't hurt anymore, her body became much better, and the most important thing was that she became younger.

"Fortunately, Niangniang, you insist on eating the Divine Pill." Empress Xie became younger, and Jiang Chuan was very happy in his heart. "This elixir is really a miracle medicine." It's a pity that it's too expensive, otherwise she would have wanted to buy it and eat it.

"Don't talk about the Shendan." Empress Xie once again told Jiang Chuan, "You must not let anyone know that this palace has eaten the Divine Pill." "The Divine Pill is so magical, Queen Xie doesn't want other concubines in the harem to eat it, especially Concubine Rong.

"Don't worry, no one said anything."

For Jiang Chuan, Empress Xie still trusts her.

"After eating for a while, there will be no more fine lines on Hongu's face."

"Niangniang, have you noticed that after you eat the Divine Pill, there is a faint fragrance on your body?"

"Is there one?" Empress Xie didn't notice it, "The palace thought it was the fragrance of flower petals." ”

Empress Xie likes to wash her face, wash her hands, and bathe with petal water on weekdays, so there will be a faint fragrance of flowers on her body.

"It's not the fragrance of flower petals, it's ......," Jiang Chuan thought for a while and said, "It's a bit like the fragrance of spices, it's very light, but it smells good." "After the queen mother was sick, she ate the purple river car every day, although she often bathed in petal water, but she still couldn't cover the bloody smell of the purple river car, so the queen mother would have a faint smell of blood lingering all day long. In addition, the mother drinks medicine all day long, and there is a bitter smell on her body. The smell of blood and bitter medicine form a strange smell that is very unpleasant.

Empress Xie raised her arm, lowered her head and sniffed carefully, and really smelled an extremely faint fragrance.

"It's still your nose, this fragrance is a bit like agarwood, very light." If you don't smell it closely, you won't be able to smell it at all.

"Niangniang, I didn't expect that the divine pill could make people fragrant, it's amazing."

"I didn't expect it either." Empress Xie loved the Divine Pill more and more in her heart.

At this time, another palace maid walked in and told Queen Xie that except for Concubine Rong, the other maidens had come.

Knowing that Concubine Rong did not come, Empress Xie was not surprised at all. Every time she asks for peace, Concubine Rong is always the last to arrive, and then the first to leave.

"Since Concubine Rong returned to favor, she has become more and more arrogant, and the emperor ......"

Empress Xie interrupted Jiang Chuan's words, "Your Majesty is what you can say." ”

"Niangniang, the slave just thinks that the emperor is too indulgent to Concubine Rong." Jiang Chuan exclaimed for Queen Xie, "Obviously, you are the queen." ”

Empress Xie stroked the earrings and said with a smile: "No matter how favored that slut is Concubine Rong, she is only a concubine, and this palace will always be the emperor's wife." "As long as she lives well, Concubine Rong will always be a concubine.

"That's what the mother said."

"Let's go, go out and meet them."

Empress Xie held Jiang Chuan's hand and slowly walked into the eyes of the concubines.

When they saw Queen Xie, who had become young and beautiful, all the concubines were stunned. They couldn't believe that the woman in front of them was the queen mother who was sick and about to die some time ago?!

Concubine Ying was slightly stunned, and then understood why Empress Xie was radiant. There was a sneer in her eyes.

Empress Xie was very satisfied with the reaction of the concubines. She sat down and looked at the stunned concubines with amusement.

"Why don't you look like you don't know this palace?" Since she fell ill, Queen Xie has been recuperating behind closed doors, and the first and fifteenth days of the new year of each month have been exempted, so the other concubines in the harem have not seen Queen Xie for some time. Their impression of Empress Xie stayed in the appearance of Empress Xie before she was seriously ill. Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for a while, Queen Xie not only recovered from her illness, but also became younger, and the current queen looks less than thirty years old. This...... What kind of miracle medicine did the queen mother take during her recuperation?

The concubines came back to their senses and hurriedly saluted Queen Xie to say goodbye.

As soon as Empress Xie asked the concubines to get up, the chief eunuch of Zhaoyang Palace walked in and reported to her, saying that Concubine Rong was not feeling well today, so she would not come to Zhaoyang Palace to ask for peace and ask the queen to forgive her sins.

Yesterday, I saw Concubine Rong swimming in the lake in the Imperial Garden, why is it uncomfortable today, this is obviously not taking the queen mother in her eyes, and she doesn't want to come to ask for peace.

The concubines didn't hear anything, and they all lowered their heads.

Empress Xie naturally knew that Concubine Rong was embarrassing her, and this was not the first time this kind of thing had happened. Since Concubine Rong returned to her previous favor, and Empress Xie was ill, Concubine Rong Guifei became more and more dismissive of Empress Xie.

In Concubine Rong's opinion, Empress Xie is not far from death. A person who is about to die, why do you put her in your eyes.

"Since Concubine Rong is sick, as the queen, this palace should go over to visit."

Hearing Empress Xie say this, Concubine Ying and the others were very surprised, and then they heard Empress Xie say, "You will visit Concubine Rong with this palace." ”

The queen mother went to visit Concubine Rong, obviously to show off her might.

There's a good show to watch now.

The concubines followed the queen to Yongxin Palace.

Concubine Rong was having breakfast, and when she learned that Queen Xie had brought all the concubines to visit her, her face immediately sank. When she saw Empress Xie, who had become young and beautiful, there was a look of disbelief on her face.

When Empress Xie visited Concubine Rong, the emperor happened to go to court. As soon as he arrived, he received an urgent letter of 800 miles from the Swamp Mansion.

When the emperor read the secret letter, his face immediately turned cold, and asked Sun Kui to call He Xiang, Liu Taishi, and Tingwei.

When they were young, He Xiang and the others came to the imperial study, and after reading the secret letter written by Zhao Yao to the emperor, everyone's faces became solemn.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Han is worried that the Divine Pill must be strictly investigated and strictly prohibited."

The emperor ordered the Tingwei Mansion to investigate the matter thoroughly, and once it was found that all the people who sold or bought the Divine Pill were arrested, and then they were strictly interrogated, it was necessary to find out how many people in the capital ate the Divine Pill, and how many Divine Pills were full of eyes in the capital. The most important thing is to find out who is responsible.

After a while, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew the emperor's will to strictly investigate and strictly prohibit the divine pill. Soon, it spread throughout the capital.

As soon as Empress Xie returned to Zhaoyang Palace, she heard about this decree and was very shocked in her heart.

Isn't the elixir a miracle medicine, why did the emperor issue a strict investigation and strict prohibition of the elixir?
