Of course Prince Gong knew where Tianzhu was, but he didn't think it was a big problem. "It's not far to send troops from Gaochang."
"What happens after we defeat you?" The emperor took a sip from his teacup and said slowly, "Crossing the Gobi mountains and deserts, sacrificing thousands of soldiers, and spending countless amounts of food and grass, just to give me a sigh of relief?"
"But if everyone in the world knows that Monk Tianzhu deceived his father and was not punished, wouldn't it bring disgrace to his father and the royal family?"
"No one in the world will know," the emperor said, "Look who Zhou Man told him?"
Zhou Man didn't even tell Prince Gong, the person who participated in the bloodshed, let alone other people. Luo Er's life span would only be a secret, only known by some people.
And the matter of him refining the poison pill to murder the emperor is even more secret, so let's keep this matter a secret.
The emperor didn't want to pay more for his own arrogance. He had already paid enough in the early stage.
Prince Gong left the palace depressed, always feeling that what his father said made Zhou Man closer to him.
As expected, Zhou Man did not tell outsiders about the blood verification results. Except for a few Mingda people, no one knew that Naluo Er was actually only over eighty years old.
But this was not a big secret after all, so Zhou Mandang told Mrs. Liu and her parents about the strange things, and Bai Erlang also told Yin You and Liu Huan...
More and more people know about it, but they are all private rumors, and nothing is happening on the surface.
As soon as this rumor came out, it suppressed all the rumors about the emperor's physical condition during this period.
The Taoist priest Xuanduguan who stayed at the princess's residence refined the elixir using Na Luo'er's blood. It was said that after Princess Mingda took it, she could get out of bed and walk within a few days, and then she was completely recovered after two days.
Zhou Man was ordered to go to the Princess Mansion to diagnose Princess Mingda's pulse.
When she arrived, a group of princesses and princesses were having a gathering in the princess's mansion. It was said that Princess Mingda, who was still ill, was warming up to the stove in the garden pavilion and enjoying the snow.
Zhou Man and a medical assistant came over with a medicine box and saw her holding a piece of venison to eat. "You came just in time. Sister Changyu brought a deer leg, which was just roasted."
Zhou Man entered the pavilion with a smile and led the medical assistant to salute everyone. Chang Yu had not seen her for several years. Before she could bend down, he grabbed her and pulled her to his side. He said, "You and I sisters are very particular about these false etiquettes."
What are you doing? Come and sit down and try the meat I roasted to see if it has improved?"
Zhou Man held her hand, glanced across the pavilion, and smiled flawlessly, "Princess, I'm still on duty. I was ordered to diagnose Princess Mingda's pulse."
Changyu: "Don't you know whether Mingda is sick or not?"
Someone in the pavilion burst out laughing, and Zhou Man helplessly whispered: "It's my duty."
Changyu could only let go, "Okay."
Mingda smiled and sat down on the chair, extending his hand to let her feel her pulse.
Zhou Man and the others bent down slightly and sat on the chairs on the other side. The medical assistant opened the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow and put it away, then bowed and stood aside.
Zhou Man felt Mingda's pulse, nodded and said with a smile: "Princess is much better, but she is still a little weak. You have to be careful of the cold recently, venison..."
Zhou Man glanced at the venison that was being turned over on the iron plate, couldn't help but swallowed, and said, "Eat less."
Mingda held back his laughter and nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Man stood up and said, "Princess, I will go and get the elixir recipe from the Taoist priests at Xuandu Temple, so I won't disturb the princess's hospitality."
"Okay, come on, send Mr. Zhou there."
"Wait a minute," Princess Ankang called the master, stood up, walked to Zhou Man, looked around her, and said with a smile: "Master Zhou is the Princess of Yueyang, right?"
Zhou Man was stunned for a moment and then responded: "Yes."
"That mansion is near me, and we will be neighbors from now on. I don't know when my sister will move in. I will leave a post for my sister then so that I can come and congratulate her on the move."
Mingda introduced: "This is Princess Ankang. Although you are not a royal daughter, you were named princess by your father. It's okay for my sister to call you sister."
Zhou Man agreed with a smile and met Princess Ankang as a gift, saying that he would definitely send the post when the time comes.
When the others heard this, regardless of whether they knew Zhou Man or not, they all expressed their intention to go there together to have a fun time.
Except for Prince Gong's Palace, none of the other princesses and princes present were as favored as Mingda and Changyu.
Princesses and princes like them who are far away from the capital, let alone their real power, are not as favored by the emperor and empress as a foreign minister.
Not to mention that Zhou Man had made numerous meritorious deeds since he became an official, and was extremely favored by the emperor, empress, and prince, so no matter what they thought in their hearts, they wanted to be on good terms with her.
Especially Zhou Man and Mingda Changyu have a good relationship.
Even some people who disdain Zhou Man's background are still smiling at her at this time.
Zhou Man greeted them for a few words and then left, going directly to find the people at Xuandu Temple.
The Taoist priests of Xuanduguan were packing their things and preparing to leave. The elixirs had all been prepared, so there was no need for them to stay any longer.
Daoxu put the elixirs he had refined in the past few days into a bottle, and when he saw Zhou Man, he hurriedly waved to her, "You came just in time. We have refined a lot of elixirs in the princess's mansion this time, and one of them is very special."
Do you want Quandabu Pills? Two pills are left for you?"
Zhou Man stepped forward and asked, "Do you have any prescription?"
"Yes, don't worry. It's not poisonous. It's a life-saving medicine. My master has refined it three times in his life. If we hadn't entered the princess's mansion this time, and many medicinal materials in the mansion are available for us to use, I'd probably never have the chance to refine it in my life.
system."
Zhou Man read the prescription, his eyes brightened, "Take two pills."
Daoxu happily gave her two pills.
Zhou Man glanced over and saw that they had filled many bottles and cans. He was surprised and said, "How many medicines have you made in ten days?"
"Hehehe, in order to create the image that we worked hard to refine the elixir, we have been refining the elixir every day for these ten days, right Senior Brother Yu?"
Daochang Yu responded with a smile.
Zhou Man asked: "Is it really okay to give me this Shiquan Dabu Pill?"
"Okay, take it," Daoxu said nonchalantly: "The princess said at the beginning that all the elixirs we made can be taken away, and Guanli also said that we can keep the elixirs we made ourselves.
Just don’t let the news leak out.”
"This Shiquan Dabu Pill was refined by Dao He and I. It is under my control. I also gave Senior Brother Yu a pill. This is for you."
Zhou Man then stopped, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good brother."
Daoxu winked and said, "Daohe and I would like to thank you for being able to come and make elixirs."
"By the way, where is Dao He?" Zhou Man looked around and found no one.
Daoxu glanced outside and scratched his head, "Are you looking for Bai Er? By the way, Bai Er brought a friend here a few days ago, surnamed Yin. Daohe had a very happy chat with him, and then he stopped refining elixirs.
I go out to play with people every day, oh, it makes me so tired."
"Yin You, maybe they have something to say."
Zhou Man wanted to find someone, but Daoxu held her back and said, "No rush, no rush, take a look at the other medicines we made, and keep some if you like them."
