Chapter 210: Mercy
Cifu Palace is located in the east of the inner palace of Lin'an Xing, adjacent to the East Imperial Garden.
The Queen Mother was seriously ill, and even if the wind was gentle and the weather was clear, the bright sunshine could not dispel the gloom that enveloped the entire Cifu Palace.
The snow in front of the palace has been swept away, only the top of the palace is still covered with snow, under the bright sunshine, it looks a little dazzling, and the outside of the palace is silent, not much life.
The palace maids and eunuchs all lowered their eyebrows, their expressions were solemn, they didn't dare to smile a little, and when they walked, they were even more careful and careful, walking lightly and slowly putting their feet, lest they make a little noise, attract people's attention and invite trouble.
Li Zong was dressed in a bright yellow simple suit, sitting in the side hall of Cifu Palace, stroking his chin and clear beard, although he did not show his face, he still did not lose his flying spirit.
His slender eyebrows were frowned, his eyes were as bright as the sword light under the blazing fire, and from time to time he swept over the six imperial doctors standing in front of him, and the anger in his heart was like a tide, surging up wave after wave.
Jia Guifei sat on the side of Li Zong, with a straight body, a moon-white silk dress that dragged the floor, plain makeup, and a graceful and elegant posture.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang Ji people have their own natural appearance, Your Majesty, don't worry too much and hurt yourself. Jia Guifei looked at Li Zong with soft eyes and affectionate veins, opened her mouth slightly, and persuaded softly.
Her face seemed to exude a faint glow of concern, and her soft voice had a calming charm.
The six imperial doctors who stood respectfully were very grateful in their hearts, their hearts were quite melancholy at this time, like sitting in the mouth of a volcano, even if their medical skills were superb and rare in the world, under the dragon power of the Li Sect, they were also greatly affected, and the depression in their hearts became heavier and heavier.
"Hmph!" Li Zong snorted heavily, looking at the imperial doctors in front of him with an unkind face.
The six Imperial Physicians, both older and younger, lowered their heads a few more times, not daring to make contact with the cold gaze of the Sect.
Although they are afraid, they are more ashamed, as a national player, they are usually supported by the royal family, but they are helpless against the queen mother's illness, this feeling of powerlessness is more uncomfortable for them who are arrogant than slapping them hard.
For the anger of Li Zong, they are not afraid, after all, there is no worry about the surname, but just move to the left or right, or punish some Yulu, the Song Dynasty did not have the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations do not take the minister's surname as seriously, say kill and kill, mostly deposed.
Moreover, the imperial doctors of the Song Dynasty, their status is the best in the previous dynasties, since Taizu, they attach great importance to medicine, and later generations follow suit, and they are quite familiar with medicine, and they also attach great importance to the imperial doctors, and the treatment is extremely good.
"Tell me, isn't there any more way?" Li Zong asked slowly with a gloomy face, stroking his beard, and his solemn breath made them feel depressed.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is ashamed!" The old man standing at the front, with white eyebrows, but his face was full of red light, and his wrinkled face leaned over and said, his tone was vicissitudes, and his voice was sluggish.
As the head of the five offerings of imperial medicine, he is not strict in his medical skills, and he is good at practicing qi and health preservation, and he seems to be full of red face, but in fact, he is eighty years old, and it is a great thing in the era of fifty years of life.
Li Zong also had a lot of respect for this old man, and although his heart was surging with anger at this time, he didn't drink him, but just nodded, and his cold gaze passed quickly, as if he didn't see him, but stared at the other five.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang is old, if Niangniang is a few years younger, the ministers may be able to try, but now...... , I really don't dare to use medicine!"
A middle-aged man standing at the end arched his hand and said, he saw that his colleagues and seniors were silent, and he could only face the difficulties by himself, the most junior one.
Li Zong's hand stroked his beard, took a breath, and tried to endure the curse words in his mouth, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he had already stabbed several swords in the body of the person who spoke out.
This person is not a person from the five offerings of imperial medicine, but a person from the pharmacy. His surname is Su Ming, and he is a famous celebrity in the world.
Su Muxi is naturally smart and talented, and has the ability to never forget, and at a young age, he has become the first drug master in the world, which can be passed on as a good story for a generation, and he is very popular with the sect.
Li Zong shook his head and sighed, alas, these people, all of them are amazing masters of the apricot forest, it is difficult to beat and scold the people in the world, they have no choice, the queen mother's illness, I am afraid that I really have no power to return to the sky.
And in recent years, there is a famous fairy in the people, it is rumored that the medical skills are superb, there has never been a disease difficult to fall her, I wanted to invite her, but she is Mr. Zixu's wife, instead of begging her, it is better to ask Mr. Zixu who is close to Lin'an...... It seems that this matter can really only be begged by Mr. Zixu!
He is the Son of Heaven, and he has more self-esteem, let him go to Mr. Zixu, he is really ashamed in his heart, and he can't save face, but the Queen Mother's body is more important than his own face, he wrote an edict head-on, and asked Ye Qingdie to go to announce the edict, as for whether he can invite Mr. Zixu, Li Zong's heart is also very empty.
"This Ye Qingdie, there is no time that he can run an errand smoothly!" Li Zong scolded a few of his own well-appointed imperial doctors, so he was angry with Ye Qingdie.
Jia Guifei knew the thoughts of the official family very well, smiled secretly in her heart, and her face was silent, at this time, there was really no room for the slightest gaffe.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Lord Ye has found Mr. Zixu, otherwise, he would have come back a long time ago!" Jia Guifei said softly.
Rizune nodded and sighed, his face softening at all.
The six imperial doctors were slightly stunned, and their hearts were awe-inspiring.
For the words of Mr. Zixu, everyone in the court now knows that the trend of expelling Zixu Demon Dao a while ago is extremely strong.
First of all, the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory flocked to the book, asking for the exorcism of the demon Dao Zixu, in order to stop his evil words from confusing, and then the ministers also wrote to echo it, degrading the prince to a demon and a monster, and not killing him was not enough to calm the anger of the people.
But this time, the bomb incident, in the end, it was over, with the prince leaving Ouchi, the ministers also saw the opportunity to stop entangled, but I didn't expect that at this time, I heard this sensitive name again!
"Your Majesty, I don't know who this Mr. Zixu is?" Although Su Muxi is talented, he gives people the feeling that he is a person with a straight surname, and he has doubts in his heart, so he asked directly, without concealment.
"Well, he's a strange person I have befriended, since Zhu Aiqing can't go back to heaven, I can only beg him to take a look. Li Zong replied lightly, picked up the black porcelain tea cup, sipped the fragrant tea slightly, and suppressed his dryness.
"It's the prince who is the chief of the void, right?" Su Muxi raised his head and looked at Li Zong, showing an ordinary face, walking in the crowd without attracting attention at all.
Li Zong nodded, and put the black porcelain tea cup back on the sandalwood table beside him, and the edge of the square table was carved with phoenix and cloud patterns, showing luxury.
"The minister is incompetent, the minister is ashamed!" Su Muxi suddenly knelt on his knees, leaned over and slammed his head on the ground, slammed out, and said loudly in his mouth, his voice was pathetic.
"What is this doing?!Observe and get up!" Li Zong was slightly stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand to get him up.
Su Muxi kowtowed his head again, supported his hands, and slowly got up, his full forehead was already slightly red, obviously kowtowing with strength, and there was no trick at all.
The eyes of the five worshippers of the Imperial Medicine Academy and Concubine Jia Guifei in front of him all looked at him, their eyes full of incomprehension and doubt.
"For the sake of the Queen Mother's illness, Your Majesty actually asked for help from the demon prince Xu, who was hated by the ministers, and it was really incompetent...... The minister is ashamed!" Su Muxi said slowly with a heavy tone and a face full of shame.
When Li Zong heard the word "demon", he felt harsh, and he grinned at Su Muxi's words, just like the five worshippers.
It was not surprising that Li Zong went to ask the prince to ask for the void, but the five offerings of the imperial medicine were not surprised, last time in the Prime Minister's Mansion, they saw the means of the prince's resurrection, and they also scoffed at the words of the demons, and the same is true for Su Muxi's words, this little guy can really speak!
"Your Majesty, Lord Ye asks to see you!" A handsome young eunuch opened the curtain from outside the hall and entered, bowing respectfully, his voice was as leisurely as a bell chime, extremely peaceful.
"Let him come in!" Li Zong suddenly got up, shouted loudly, and then saved, could it be that Ye Qingdie came back by himself?
When Ye Qingdie and Fan Chengde entered the side hall, although the two of them had tried their best to keep their bodies tidy, they could not completely erase the embarrassment, especially Li Zong, who was very familiar with Ye Qingdie, he had never seen dirty, such a look was really rare.
"Is Mr. Zixu coming?!" Li Zong hurriedly asked without waiting for the two who had fallen down to speak.
When he saw Ye Qingdie looking so embarrassed, he felt ominous, afraid that his edict would be sealed back!
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zixu was drunk and didn't wake up, but he just gave the minister a jade bottle to treat the Queen Mother. Ye Qingdie bowed her head and replied, her face was calm and calm, she said, took out a jade bottle with a green and shining jade bottle from her arms, and carefully raised her hands to the top of her head.
The inner eunuch has been broken away by him, standing outside the hall and waiting, Jia Guifei Yingying got up, curled up in front of the kneeling Ye Qingdie, leaned out with her bare hands, picked up the jade bottle, dragged the moon-white skirt to the ground, flicked it gently, and turned back to Li Zong.
"Your Majesty, it seems that it is really Mr. Zixu's thing. Jia Guifei took a look, handed the jade bottle to Li Zong, and said softly.
She has a deep impression of Xiao Yuesheng's jade bottle, which can be recognized at a glance, and Xiao Yuesheng's carving style is strange, unforgettable, and the god of dust is extremely difficult to imitate.
Li Zong also knew the jade bottle, nodded, peeled off the seal at the mouth of the bottle, pulled the cork, and a faint fragrance suddenly came out, like a wisp of sandalwood scattered around, condensed but not dispersed, and the aroma did not fade at all.
As soon as everyone in the hall smelled this fragrance, they suddenly felt refreshed, and gradually gave birth to a force in their bodies, as if they could jump onto the beam of the temple with one jump, and they could collapse the dragon pillar with one punch.
Su Muxi is a person who specializes in medicine, and he is extremely familiar with the surname of medicine, as soon as he smells this fragrance and feels the feeling from his body, he suddenly becomes excited in his heart, such a miracle medicine, he has never seen it in his life!
Feeling it carefully, it seems that there are old ginseng and snow lotus, and the rest of the medicines are no longer easy to identify, as if there are several exotic medicines that I have never seen.
"Green Butterfly, get up,...... Did you see Mr. Zixu in person?" Li Zong re-plugged the bottle cork, carefully placed it on the sandalwood table beside him, and turned his head to ask Ye Qingdie, who was kneeling in His Highness.
Ye Qingdie threw off his robe and got up, Li Zong's question made him pale, his jade-like face flushed slightly, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "When Wei Chen went to Linhu Residence to visit, Mr. Zixu was already drunk and dreaming, so he just asked his maid to hand Wei Chen this bottle of elixir, and ......"
"And what?" said Rizuma, frowning, his mind sharpening, and as soon as he heard it, he realized that there must be something strange in it.
“...... And Mr. Zixu has something to pass on to His Majesty, saying...... He wants to be quiet and quiet!" Ye Qingdie stiffened, poured out all the words in one go, and had a good time.
"Giggle...... , Your Majesty, it seems that Mr. Zixu is really drunk!"
Just when everyone was stunned by this bold words, Jia Guifei suddenly laughed, in the silent hall, although the laughter was abrupt, but it was as crisp and pleasant as a jade plate ball, Jia Guifei smiled and spoke to Li Zong, and quickly glanced at Ye Qingdie.
"Huh...... I thought he was deliberately pretending to be drunk because he didn't want to see me, but now it seems that he was really drunk,...... This drunken remark is very bold!" Li Zong was originally angry, but when he heard Jia Guifei's words, he suddenly felt a little relieved, and couldn't help laughing.
was said by Jia Guifei like this, Li Zong couldn't figure out whether this Mr. Zixu was really drunk or fake, and what he said was drunk or sober?
"Your Majesty, is this elixir really going to be taken by the Queen Mother?" asked the old man who was the head of the five offerings of the Imperial Medicine slowly, his face full of red light, but also showing doubts.
"Of course, how else?" Li Zong threw away his worries and decided not to think about the prince for the time being, and it was important to save the queen mother first.
"Your Majesty, please be cautious!" the old man spoke more and more slowly, but his tone became more and more solemn.
Li Zong was anxious in his heart, but seeing this old man with such a solemn expression, his mood eased unconsciously, and when he saw the complicated look in the eyes of the first worshipper, he was slightly stunned, and his complexion changed.
The head of the five imperial medicines, nearly eighty years old, has gone through three dynasties, and many royal secrets have been experienced and witnessed with his own eyes.
Regarding the death of the first emperor Duzong, it is not completely undoubted, although Duzong is weak, but his dragon funeral returned to the sky too suddenly, and there are rumors that Shi Miyuan previously obtained dozens of gold pills from a foreign Taoist priest and dedicated them to Duzong, and then the inner palace spread bad news, and some people suspected Shi Miyuan's crime.
These things, as a courtier, he can't say them explicitly, but can only hint at them.
After Li Zong learned the mental method taught by Xiao Yuesheng, his mind was sharp and sharp, and when he turned his mind slightly, he had some understanding.
He turned the jade bottle completely upside down, and two pills the size of a dragon's eye appeared in his palm, milky white, similar to white jade.
Between the pills, there is a thin strip of paper, only the width of the index finger and the length of half the index finger.
"Creation Pill, one is enough. Mission Hills Villa system. "Let's talk about a few words, written in plum blossom letters, delicate and juanjuan, at a glance, you can know that it comes from the woman's hand.
"You take one and see if you can give it to the Queen Mother. Li Zong returned one of the milky pills in his hand to the bottle, and handed the remaining one to the chief worshipper.
He sighed secretly in his heart, he felt unfathomable to the prince's emptiness, the Creation Pill, listening to the name, he knew that the medicinal effect of this pill was extraordinary, only one was enough, why did he put two?
With his ungenerous surname, this move seems quite incredible, can he guess that the other one will be tested, and only after testing can it be taken by the Queen Mother?
