Chapter 114: Offering the Longevity Pill
Sand dunes, temporary palace, one or two white temples, pale, angry old man lying on the sickbed, the whole person looks like half of the body is about to enter the earth, the usual majestic appearance is gone, at the moment is half sideways, slightly up, but it looks very difficult.
"Zhao Gao, I. It's almost gone. The old man bent his hands to support his body to get up, but he was stunned, he looked very painful, and his mouth kept coughing.
Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, very anxious, "Your Majesty, you are not in good health, don't get up, lie down quickly, don't hurt your muscles and bones, just tell the slave if you have something." ”
"No" The old man raised his hand, as if every movement had to affect the muscles of his whole body, "I know that my fate will not be long!" I want to see more of the world. ”
Zhao Gao hurriedly knelt down, his face was sad but he tried his best to persuade: "Your Majesty, you will be fine, not long ago Xu Gong came to the news that the longevity elixir has been obtained, and the Penglai immortal envoy is coming to offer the pill." ”
"As long as you take this pill, the disease will definitely improve, and people will live a long life."
"Really?" The old man showed surprise, his breathing became short, there seemed to be a hint of vitality on his wrinkled face, and his speech was much smoother, "Quick, quickly send someone to urge the immortal envoy, be sure to let him come quickly." ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister has sent someone to urge, presumably he can arrive today." Zhao Gao said softly, with affirmation between his eyebrows.
"Really? That's great. ”
The old man smiled, closed his eyes, and slowly lay down, as if in a longing.
After a while, he woke up and looked around expectantly.
"Zhao Gao, is the Penglai Immortal Envoy here? Is it coming? Outside the fingers, the breath was still faint, and the voice was weak, but it seemed so urgent.
"Your Majesty, news has just come that the immortal envoy has arrived within a mile, and will appear soon." Zhao Gao helped the old man with one hand.
"Good. Very good. The old man's breath seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, but his expression was full of longing for longevity.
This is the person who dominates the Quartet, Yingzheng, who has only been seen for a while, and the whole person seems to be ten years old, his hands and feet are still trembling slightly, and his spirit is not high.
"Quick, set up a fairyland, I'm ready to serve Dan." Ying Zheng struggled to get up, slowly lifting one foot and lowering it, trying his best to sit steadily.
"No!" Zhao Gao hurriedly instructed the attendants to bring the cyclamen who had been prepared for a long time, and arranged the entire palace to be splendid, with the golden light shining on the throne, and the mist rising on the ground.
How similar this scene is to the scene in Zhangtai Palace, the difference is that the old man is old!
"Penglai Immortal has arrived!" After a while, the sound of the waiter's report sounded outside.
Zhao Gao was overjoyed: "Quickly pass the immortal envoy into the palace!" ”
"Your Majesty, here, here!" He hurriedly walked to the dragon couch, knelt down and bowed, showing great excitement.
Ying Zheng got up from the bed, supported his body strongly, his originally godless eyes immediately became bright, and he pointed to the door, "Quick, quick, let the immortal envoy immediately offer the longevity pill, I want to live forever, live forever." ”
The trembling body trembled even more with excitement.
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Gao bowed, retreated and retreated, and after a while, he brought in a person wearing a puffy hat and dressing in disguise, which was very different from the people of Daqin.
The man came in without showing full respect, not even the slightest kneeling salute.
However, Ying Zheng didn't seem to be able to see it, on the contrary, he trembled his hands, moved his feet from the bed and put them on the ground with great excitement, and his body was extremely difficult to stand up, but his weak body could not support his movements, and he almost fell to the side, but fortunately, Zhao Gao reacted quickly and supported him steadily.
Ying Zheng arched his hand and bowed to the immortal envoy, full of piety.
"The immortal envoy is coming, and Yingzheng is welcome!"
"You're welcome!" The immortal envoy did not mean to be in awe, waved his hand, signaling that Yingzheng did not have to be like this, and then held a brocade box with simple decoration with both hands, carved with gold edges, as if there was a dense atmosphere overflowing, extremely sacred.
Zhao Gaozhi's eyes widened when he saw it, and he hurriedly walked over and took it respectfully, and thanked him repeatedly: "Xie Immortal Envoy Cidan!" ”
After finishing speaking, he bowed down and took a few steps back, came to Yingzheng's side, and handed it over, "Your Majesty, Wanshou Dan has arrived, please take the Dan immediately." ”
Ying Zheng showed even more excitement, his nervous hands stretched out, swaying the brocade box, like an old thing that had not been seen for many years, and his eyes were filled with tears that could not be parted.
"Quickly help me to the dragon throne and prepare the holy water."
"No!"
Zhao Gao stretched out his hand to help him, gently holding Ying Zheng and slowly walking towards the dragon seat.
The emperor couldn't wait to urge, "Quick, come to me, I want to open the brocade box myself and bathe in the fairy qi." ”
How similar this scene happened to the last time, no one noticed that at this moment, a touch of cunning flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes, but it was very well hidden, even the servants around him did not notice it.
Zhao Gao reverently held the brocade box, knelt down with his legs, raised his hands, the brocade box was held on top, and the lid of the box was slowly opened by Yingzheng.
"Sure enough, it's an elixir, it's really an elixir, it's stronger than the immortal aura last time."
"It's extreme, it's extreme! This is caused by the luck of our Great Qin, please obey Your Majesty and live with heaven and earth. ”
Ying Zheng reached out and took out the elixir.
This thing is slightly white, completely different from the black yoyo last time, blooming brightly against the golden light of the brocade box, and the waiter next to him is also smacking his tongue.
"With this pill, I will be immortal." Ying Zheng was so excited that he ignored his fragile body, knelt down, and bowed to the sky.
The hand holding the elixir slowly stretched out to his mouth, but when it was almost to his mouth, he stopped and glanced at the immortal envoy who showed a slight indescribable smile on the side.
What no one noticed was that when this action stopped, Ying Zheng's hand holding the pill was suddenly extremely flexible, and it could even be said to be rapid, the slightly white pill slid down, and was caught by the ring finger and tail finger, and at the same time, the middle finger was pushed up, and a crystal clear pill was pushed between the thumb and index finger and pinched.
If Li Zhao was there, he would definitely recognize that this pill was the epilepsy medicine he dedicated to Ying Zheng.
"Zhao Gao. The immortal envoy came from afar, presumably tired, please treat him. ”
Zhao Gao was stunned, but he quickly reacted, and quickly stood up, but did not lead the immortal envoy to leave at the first time, but instructed the attendant next to him, "Your Majesty must take the pill, don't be disturbed, you all go out!" and the man at the door was called away. ”
Zhao Gao is the celebrity next to the emperor, and the emperor has no other words at this moment, and the waiters bow their hands, saying "promise", and they all withdrew.
At the moment when all the servants went out, Zhao Gao's respectful posture immediately changed greatly, and he did not send the immortal envoy out, but approached Yingzheng step by step, revealing a fierce appearance.
"Your Majesty, the pill is exposed, and the immortal qi is easy to disperse, please take the pill immediately!"
Ying Zheng was obviously stunned, and pointed at Zhao Gao incredulously with the other hand, reprimanding in his mouth, helplessly as if his body had reached the point of running out of oil and drying up, and it was very weak.
"Zhao Gao, you, why are you talking to me like this? What are you going to do? "The Emperor sensed that something was wrong.
"What for?" Zhao Gao took another step closer, stretched out his hand to grab Yingzheng's hand, and stuffed it into Yingzheng's mouth.
"Of course, it's for you to take the pill." Zhao Gao laughed, "Don't you want to live forever?" Don't you want to become an immortal? Isn't it better to take the pill and be immortal, your dream will come true? ”
"Don't you know, this pill is refined by Xu Gong spending three hundred days to collect the most poisonous things in the world, and it is the most ideal thing to become an immortal, hehe!"
Zhao Gao's smile completely changed, it was happy, it was vicious, it was revenge, there was no way to talk about it.
