Before everyone entered the hall, there was a violent coughing sound in the hall. The sound was rapid and slow, which was very uncomfortable to hear.
Seeing Yin Enci and his entourage coming in, the man sitting in the hall stood up and was about to bend down to say hello. Yin Enci hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Jin Sheng, you are not in good health, so you don't have to
How polite."
Looking at the thin face in front of him, which was horribly pale and without any color at all, Chu Nanzhi guessed that it was the sick emperor and quickly saluted.
Lin Jinsheng had seen all the people who came in. His ears had already heard what his ancestor was doing when he saw the petite woman in front of him. He thought she was a fierce and strong-looking woman, but instead
Unexpectedly, the gentleness of Jiangnan’s daughter’s family is reflected in everything.
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then sat down slowly and without hesitation, and hurriedly greeted: "We are all members of our own family, brothers and sisters, no need to be polite, please sit down and sit flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Nanzhi followed Lin Jinshu and was just about to sit on the guest seat next to her when she saw a waiter coming in with a decoction. A bright-colored pill in the tray immediately attracted her attention.
The chamberlain said: "Your Majesty, this is the elixir just obtained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It can prolong life. Please take it immediately."
"Prolong life, ahem."
Lin Jinsheng's somewhat sunken pupils blinked feebly, and he shook his head with a bitter look on his face: "Since I ascended the throne, you have told me that this elixir will prolong your life."
After saying this, I couldn't help but cough again.
The queen in front of him hurriedly took a new veil and went over to help him wipe it.
Lin Jinsheng grabbed the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, slowly waved his hand towards the waiter and said: "That's it, that's all, put it down first."
From a distance, Chu Nanzhi looked at the emperor's scrawny appearance, and then at the pill placed beside him. It was almost certain that he was poisoned by taking this refined pill for a long time.
It's just that kings throughout the ages have the hobby of pursuing immortality. She couldn't say it openly to avoid violating taboos, so she could only say it tactfully:
"Your Majesty is in his prime, so there is no need to rush to seek immortality."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the chamberlain who was about to walk out suddenly turned around, knelt down and reported:
"Your Majesty is not in good health. You must not stop taking the elixir. This elixir was carefully refined by Taoist Master Chunhua of Huanglongguan for several years. Taoist Master Chunhua watched the sky last night and calculated that today is the day for your Majesty to take it."
It’s a perfect day for the elixir. Once you take the elixir, your majesty’s body will definitely get better.”
"Oh, it has such a magical effect?"
When Lin Jinsheng looked at the pills beside him again, he immediately became more energetic. He took the pills and looked at them carefully. He suddenly stood up and excitedly signaled to the queen beside him: "Hurry up and take a bath and change my clothes. I'll wait for you."
I burned incense and prayed and immediately took the elixir."
Hearing this, a look of pride flashed through the servant's eyes, and he smiled sinisterly at Chu Nanzhi.
Chu Nanzhi sensed that there must be something wrong with this chamberlain.
She suddenly thought of an unsolved case from more than twenty years ago, in which the old King Qinghe died tragically on the way to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. The real culprit has not been found yet, and it was probably related to the fight for the throne of the emperor.
But the water in this palace is too deep, and if you are not careful, you will risk your life and property in it.
At the moment, she could vaguely feel the huge conspiracy behind it, but she was not yet sure enough to find out who was behind it. The only thing she could do was to find a way to prevent the emperor from continuing to take the pill.
Seeing Lin Jinsheng being supported by everyone and about to go to the inner hall, Chu Nanzhi stood up, knelt down with a solemn expression, and said forcefully:
"Your Majesty, my sister once heard a Taoist priest mention this matter of alchemy. The elixir is even a yin to yang thing. Therefore, the physique of the person who takes the elixir is particularly particular. Your Majesty is the reincarnation of a real dragon, with great youth and great blessings.
Qitian, it is really not advisable to take elixirs too much at this age. If the water is full, it will overflow and the moon will be full."
Lin Jinsheng was very happy to hear the words of praise and compliments. He suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked with a slight cough: "Does my younger brother and sister also know the art of alchemy?"
"Knowing the surface."
Chu Nanzhi secretly cried out in pain: How do I know the art of alchemy?
But in order to make the emperor give up the idea of continuing to take the pill, she had to force herself to calm down and start making nonsense:
"Immortality is a step-by-step process. In addition to taking the elixir, you also need to practice Taoism. What is important is that the right time, place and people are in good hands, and you can cultivate both internally and externally to achieve the true result."
When Lin Jinsheng heard what she said so eloquently, he immediately became interested, sat back on the throne again, and urged: "Brother and sister, please tell me in detail, I am willing to hear the details."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the gloomy chamberlain in front of the palace with his peripheral vision, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the son of God. He is not comparable to ordinary mortals. He just followed the will of God and came down to earth to endure tribulations. Once the tribulations are fulfilled, you can
Re-ranked to the Immortal Class."
"Go down to earth and experience calamity?"
Everyone was quite new to the word "living the tribulation". Lin Jinsheng thought about his rough fate and immediately felt that it was like that. Even his coughing eased a lot, and he said: "My brothers and sisters think how I should go through the tribulation."
Can you achieve positive results through cultivation?"
"That's the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people, which my sister mentioned just now."
Chu Nanzhi began to say in detail: "This son of God came to the world to save all sentient beings. Only when the national destiny is constant, the people are healthy, and spring is everywhere can it be the great road. Your Majesty should stop taking the elixir immediately, cultivate your mind and nature, and rise in the morning glow.
Sleep while waiting for the stars, purify your mind and have few desires, regulate your work and rest, forget about worries and worry, and avoid anger. In this way, when the auspiciousness comes from the sky, Your Majesty will be able to achieve righteousness."
"Auspicious blessings from heaven?"
Lin Jinsheng immediately realized that the frequent disasters that occurred throughout the empire in recent years were God punishing him, so he fasted and prayed to God in the palace for the past two years.
Standing up slowly, he tightly covered the corners of his lips and began to cough slowly again: "Since I came to the throne, I have been caring about the people and worrying about the country. Unfortunately, I have more than enough ambition but not enough power. I think about the time when my Dahe Empire was at its peak.
All nations have come to court, but now there is chaos everywhere, and it is all my fault."
"Your Majesty, you must not be discouraged."
The servant knelt down in fear and begged with all his strength: "Your Majesty is just suffering from a minor illness. Taoist Master Chunhua has devoted himself to refining elixirs over the years. He spent several years of hard work to finally obtain this elixir. His whole purpose is to restore your majesty to glory. Your Majesty."
We must not disappoint the Taoist Priest’s hard work. I firmly believe that your Majesty will be able to make the dragon healthy after taking the elixir. I sincerely request your Majesty to use the elixir."
Yin Enci had always disliked that the emperor had too much faith in the Taoist priests in the Taoist temples. On the contrary, what his wife-in-law said just now was very reasonable and well-founded and won her heart.
After hesitating for a moment, she waved her hand to the chamberlain impatiently: "What Princess Pingning said is reasonable. You should not rush for success when seeking immortality. It is a step-by-step process. Good times and auspicious days are not just today.
You can go and inform Taoist Master Chunhua and ask him to make a divination, and it won’t be too late to ask His Majesty to take the elixir some other time.”
Seeing that the ancestors also came out to object, the servant did not dare to force it anymore, so he got up and left angrily.
