"Where are those medicines, were they made by Gao Bin?" Faced with Hongli's inquiry, Fang Jian said: "The guilty minister is not sure, but he should be close to ten."
Hongli glanced at Fang Jian with disgust and said coldly: "Pull him down and chop him in half!"
After the guards pulled down the muddy slip, Sixi whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to issue an order to summon Gao Bin to the capital?"
Hongli ignored him and just clapped his hands. The next moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the Yangxin Hall, with one knee touching the ground, "I see you, Your Majesty!"
Hongli thought for a moment and said: "Bring Gao Bin to Beijing secretly, and don't let any news leak out!"
After the secret agent left, Xiao Wu also withdrew from the Yangxin Palace and followed Hongli's instructions to go outside the palace to look for tobacco ointment. When he came back, it was already sunset and dusk. As soon as he arrived at the Yangxin Gate, he saw four people.
Xi was waiting outside anxiously. When she saw him coming, she quickly came up to him and said, "How is it? Have you bought it?"
"I bought it." After saying this, Xiao Wu said worriedly: "Master, the emperor's addiction...has he committed it again?"
Sixi sighed and said: "Not yet, but just now the emperor felt something was wrong with his body. I'm afraid it will be soon. Let's go in."
As soon as they entered the Yangxin Hall, they saw Hongli sitting in a chair with his eyebrows furrowed, his face pale, and the hand holding the pen trembling slightly, obviously he was gradually getting addicted.
Si Xi hurriedly went to get a smoke gun, put some of the large smoke paste that Xiao Wu took out into the smoke pot, and then slowly roasted it on a low fire. After thin white smoke rose from inside, he presented it to
In front of Hongli, he whispered: "Your Majesty, that's all."
A trace of desire flashed in Hongli's eyes, he put down the ink pen, took the pipe from his hand, and smoked hard. The sparks in the pipe flickered brightly and dimly as he smoked.
Sixi and the two watched nervously, as long as the opium ointment can replace Qiao Yan'er's medicine, then Hongli will not have to be controlled by him and can cut Qiao Yan'er into pieces with a thousand knives.
As he drank, Hongli's expression gradually relaxed and his face became better-looking. Seeing this scene, Xiao Wu whispered: "Master, it seems that this recipe will work."
Si Xi nodded and said: "Gao Bin and Qiao Yan'er have been close for a long time. I didn't expect that the emperor would use opium ointment to replace the drug addiction. This time, even the gods can't save them."
Time passed slowly, because Hongli smoked very hard, so the small amount of smoke cream disappeared quickly. Sixi put some more smoke in it, and after Hongli finished smoking again, he tentatively said: "
Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Hongli stared at the smoke gun that had no sparks in his hand, looking a little confused. After a while, he said: "The smoke ointment is indeed useful, but I always feel like... there is something missing, just like the first brew of tea and water.
After brewing the tea several times, the latter tastes much lighter." As he said that, he looked at Xiao Wu and asked, "Where did you buy this large tobacco paste?"
Xiaowu was afraid that Hongli would think that he just bought some opium paste to deal with it, so he hurriedly said: "When I return to the emperor, I bought it through the introduction of an acquaintance. He said that this is the purest opium paste in the capital.
No one else is as good as him."
Si Xi asked tentatively: "Does your Majesty mean that this smoke ointment is not as strong as the medicine Qiao Yan'er gave?"
Hongli nodded and said: "When I smoked, I was able to suppress the discomfort, but as soon as I stopped, it came back, and I still had no strength all over my body. I was not as energetic as I was after taking the medicine given by Qiao Yan'er yesterday.
, it seems that although the medicine is similar to the opium ointment, it is not the same."
Upon hearing this, Si Xi suddenly said nervously: "What should we do? Otherwise, I will go find Qiao Yan'er..."
Hearing this name, a look of disgust flashed across Hongli's eyes, and he thought: "Now is not the time when the drug addiction is at its worst, so there is no need to rush. I will try to see if I can get through it with these opium ointments."
Sixi nodded. As time went by, Hongli's condition gradually became worse. He yawned constantly, his body was trembling, and he couldn't even sit still. He smoked the ointment several times, and it was all over the hall.
The smell of cigarette smoke, but the situation is worse than before. It only suppresses the discomfort of the addiction a little bit, and as soon as it stops, the terrible pain and pain of thousands of ants eating the heart will come over like a tide, overwhelming, making
He felt even more uncomfortable than before.
Hongli threw the finished pipe on the ground with trembling hands and stumbled out. Sixi quickly stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
Hongli's voice trembled and he said: "Medicine...I want medicine..."
Seeing him like this, Xiao Wu felt extremely uncomfortable. Ever since he followed Hongli, he had never seen Hongli look so embarrassed or even... pitiful. He couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, you can't go. The more you take the medicine, the worse it will be."
Addicted, when the time comes, you will really be firmly controlled by Qiao Yaner!"
Hongli's eyes were red and hissed: "You don't need to worry about it. Give me medicine immediately. All I need now is... medicine..." The longer the time went by, the more terrible the discomfort became, and he couldn't bear it for a moment.
Xiao Wu blurted out: "What about the Queen and the Twelfth Brother? Do you really want to listen to Qiao Yan'er and kill them with your own hands?"
This sentence made the redness in Hongli's eyes fade a little, but it was quickly covered again, and he said again: "Give me the medicine immediately!"
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Wu was about to say more, but Si Xi said sadly: "It's useless, the Emperor is already trying his best to control it, but the medicine is too domineering, otherwise it wouldn't even be able to suppress the smoke ointment.
..." He sighed and said: "Go and ask Qiao Yan'er for the medicine. If she asks, just say that the emperor is already considering it and ask her to give the emperor a few more days."
Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and held his breath and asked Qiao Yan'er for the medicine. When he was about to pour it into the tea, Hongli suddenly snatched it away, startling Xiao Wu and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you can't
If you swallow it like this, you will choke. Please give it to me and I will drink it soon."
Hongli did not give the powder to Xiao Wu, nor did he swallow it dry. Instead, he tried to control his trembling hands and poured most of the powder into the tea, holding the rest tightly in his hand, and drank the tea in one gulp.
Sixi and Xiaowu looked at each other in confusion, neither of them understood Hongli's intention of doing this. Perhaps it was because the dosage of the medicine was reduced. After drinking the medicine this time, the pain in Hongli's body did not disappear immediately until more than half an hour later.
Finally feeling better, he wiped his face vigorously, spread out his palms, and revealed the powder in the paper bag that was as big as a fingernail. Even now, he still had the urge to swallow it. This medicine
...It's really scary.
Hongli said weakly: "Go and see if Zhou Minghua is here. If he is, call him over immediately."
Si Xi bowed and left. After a while, he came in with Zhou Minghua. Hong Li motioned to Xiao Wu to bring the remaining medicinal powder to him and said, "Look, what is this."
