Liu Zhan and Huo Wuyong were Taoists who often came to the palace. The former was a Taoist priest and the latter was an imperial alchemist. It was common to call them here.
Although Chen Yuanhe is the leader of the eunuchs in the palace, from the sixth rank, he is usually only responsible for crafts errands. The chief eunuch responsible for such things has limited opportunities to meet the eunuchs in the past, so this time he wants this person to also meet the eunuchs?
Eunuch Zhao's eyelids twitched slightly, feeling that things were getting more and more unusual.
He did not say goodbye, but only asked why Chen Yuan was here, which showed that the emperor was somewhat suspicious of the origin of the book.
He glanced at Yu Qianzhi again. Although Yu Qianzhi was tired after running all night, he still stood there with a little fear on his face. However, with Eunuch Zhao's eyesight, he could see that this man had everything in mind.
It's all under control.
This person is truly unpredictable.
Just as I was thinking about it, because I was in the palace, I sent an order to the eunuchs for a meeting, so I turned back and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Yuanhe has arrived."
"Let him wait outside now, and wait until the two of them arrive and go inside together." The emperor said, and his voice softened: "Yu Qing has worked hard all the way. Please come and sit down, serve ginseng soup, and have a short rest."
Yu Qianzhi hurriedly accepted the reward and thanked him.
The emperor did not speak any more, but just looked at the dark clouded sky outside the palace. After a long time, he tore off the last page of the booklet and hid it in his sleeve.
This scene made Eunuch Zhao's eyes twitch again.
Outside the hall, Chen Yuanhe, who arrived first, was talking in a low voice to the young eunuch at the door.
This man was born with a square face, a straight face, fair skin and no beard. He was about eight feet tall. If he had not been in the palace, he would have been a very imposing man outside.
But at this moment, he spoke softly and had a kind attitude, which couldn't be gentler.
An eunuch came out and whispered the emperor's intention to him. Chen Yuanhe smiled and said, "In that case, I will wait for the two real men outside."
He just stood on one side with his hands down, looking at the long white marble steps outside, silently lost in thought.
After a while, two people came from a distance, one after the other. The person walking in front of them was none other than the imposing Liu Zhan.
A dozen steps behind him was Huo Wuyong, who had a gloomy temperament.
"The emperor only called for the three of us, right?" Chen Yuanhe asked the person beside him in a low voice.
The young eunuch also replied in a low voice: "Eunuch Chen, that's it."
"That's good, that's good." Chen Yuanhe nodded casually and said softly. As for the so-called "good" and what is good about it, no one knows.
"Zhenren Liu, Zhenren Huo." When the two came closer, Chen Yuanhe saluted them.
Even though Liu Zhan had a bad temper, he still had a good attitude when meeting such a distinguished eunuch who had no conflict of interest and had a good attitude. He nodded to him: "Eunuch Chen."
Huo Wuyong raised his eyelids, looked at him, took a few steps closer, and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Chen was also summoned together? Do you know what happened?"
Chen Yuanhe said with a smile: "You two don't know, and I, a slave, naturally don't know either."
They were waiting here, and someone had already gone in to report, and soon came out: "Your Majesty, let the three of you in."
The three people's eyes met, then they looked back and walked inward.
Chen Yuanhe walked at the end, his steps were light and he landed silently. After entering, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed upward.
"Let's all get back together." The emperor said calmly.
"Yes." Chen Yuanhe responded softly, standing obediently on one side, diagonally opposite to Eunuch Zhao and directly opposite Ma Shunde.
Eunuch Zhao unexpectedly reappeared after lying dormant for several months. He was standing higher than Ma Shunde, right next to the emperor. What he saw when he raised his eyes made Chen Yuanhe slightly surprised.
However, as a high eunuch in the palace, everyone is used to all kinds of ups and downs. Some people fall down and some people get up again. It's all happened before. Slightly surprised, Chen Yuanhe looked away and just stood there with a low eyebrow.
.
As for Ma Shunde opposite, he didn't even look at him.
I am always a high eunuch, and someone has tipped off the news. I already know that Ma Shunde was scolded by the emperor. This man's character is bound to retaliate. If you look carefully at his embarrassed appearance at this time, you will probably be resented in your heart. One more thing is worse than one less thing.
Ma Shunde's head was empty at the moment. The emperor wanted to call the other three people. After being scolded, he had no time to think about what it meant. He could only hold his breath and concentrate. He didn't dare to leave, and he didn't dare to listen or look around.
I was scared out of my wits.
Liu Zhan and Huo Wuyong heard something strange in the emperor's voice. They raised their eyes and took a quick look, and found that the emperor's expression was a little strange.
Liu Zhan lowered his head and thought quickly: "It seems like something big is going to happen today. There have been a lot of things happening in the capital recently. I hope the emperor won't let anything happen again."
Huo Wuyong's eyebrows skipped a beat. His premonition was even worse than that of Liu Zhan. After all, he and Ma Shunde were the ones who went on errands together before, searching the entire capital for a "big thief" that had never been seen before, and finally searched Prince Dai's palace.
Such an excuse can always be found to be false as long as the king makes an effort to investigate it. There is no need to even investigate it. All he needs to do is to believe that it is an excuse, and neither he nor Ma Shunde will be able to escape the grudge.
The two kings of Qi and Shu who were able to fight with the king of Dai injured another king of Qi, and now only the king of Shu is left.
Under such circumstances, the chance of becoming the king is greatly increased. He has been working hard for the royal family and wants to contribute to his family's orthodoxy and win the trust of the royal family. It seems like a joke to think about it now!
Especially when he entered the palace, he caught a glimpse of Ma Shunde, who had wounds on his forehead. The eunuch looked uneasy and timid, as if he was frightened. Huo Wuyong didn't know how this man had offended the emperor, but soon after
They had just run errands together before, so naturally they became uneasy.
Both Taoist priests were confused and even lowered their heads.
When the emperor saw that the three people had arrived, his slightly sunken eyes moved and he said: "You all come and take a look at this volume. This is the legacy of Emperor Long'an."
The treasure left by the imperial mausoleum? The three of them looked at each other. Haven't they checked the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Long'an many times? Why is there still a secret treasure?
I heard the emperor say: "Wait a minute, come and see if it's true or not."
"I come first." Huo Wuyong was curious and walked over first, took the booklet with both hands, held it in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
When he checked, he naturally looked at the content above.
Naturally, there was nothing to read in the Alchemy Sutra in front of it, so I glanced over it, my eyes fell on the elixir prescription of Da Huan Dan, and I read it word by word.
"This elixir recipe is really the elixir recipe of Da Huan Dan? There are only slight differences, but they are very similar. It seems to be the original recipe of the Wei Dynasty. Is this book really a treasure from the imperial mausoleum?" Huo Wuyong was surprised.
After searching repeatedly for so long, in the end it was just a useless effort. It was just that the emperor refused to let people withdraw their troops. Is there really anything to gain?
Huo Wuyong found it unbelievable, but the prescription in the book told him that this thing was real.
When he turned to the last page and saw the torn marks, Huo Wuyong's eyelids jumped, but he said nothing and handed the booklet to Chen Yuanhe.
