In the quiet and somewhat scary hall, the sound of turning papers could occasionally be heard, mixed with a few light coughs. At the moment, the tallest man in Jingguo put down a memorial that came from the northern border, with a calm expression on his face.
, showing a bit of fatigue.
"The disaster year has just passed, floods have begun to appear in the south, banditry in the northwest is still pending, and Qi is ready to move and invade the borders of Jingguo... Am I really not a good emperor? Why does God want the people of Jingguo to suffer so much?
suffering?”
After reading several memorials in succession, all of which were disturbing, the man murmured a few words, and for a moment he didn't know whether to continue reading.
At this moment, the palace door quietly opened, and a rickety figure walked in silently.
This was a wrinkled old man with a white face and no beard. He was wearing an ordinary gray robe. He walked up the steps and stood in front of the large table. He whispered: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yan is visiting the bride today."
Returned and waiting outside the palace."
There was a hint of femininity in the old voice, but no emotion could be heard.
"It's already very late. Go tell her if you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow." Hearing this, the man waved his hand and said.
He was agitated at this moment and didn't want to see anyone, not even his most beloved queen, and naturally he didn't want to see Concubine Yan.
The old man nodded and quietly retreated.
After just a moment, he walked in again, presented something in his hand, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Yan has returned to the palace. I sent an old slave to present this thing to Your Majesty. This thing is called Ruyi Dew.
It was brought back by the empress during her wedding, and it is said to have the effect of relieving fatigue."
"Oh?" Emperor Jing took the small porcelain bottle from his hand and was about to open it when the old man spoke again: "Your Majesty, the origin of this thing is unknown. Do you want it to be inspected by the Imperial Medical Office before..."
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, this is all her intention. Besides, Concubine Yan will not harm me... By the way, how should I use this thing?"
"Concubine Yan said that you can just drop this thing on your hand," the old man said.
He has personally tested it just now. When this substance is dropped on the body, it will indeed emit a strange smell, which can make people feel slightly shaken, and it can also be regarded as having the effect of relieving fatigue.
Judging from his decades of experience, this substance is not poison. Of course, if this substance needs to be taken to be effective, no matter whether Concubine Yan is well-intentioned or not, he will not let His Majesty put himself in danger.
The man opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, and a fragrant smell wafted out from inside.
After hearing that some students were using Ruyi Dew to assist their studies, Li Yi added a little more mint to the Ruyi Dew. Since they wanted to refresh themselves, let them drink enough at one time.
Before Concubine Yan dropped this thing on his hand according to the method, he already felt his mind clearing up a little bit. A strange color flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes, and he murmured: "This thing is quite strange..." Concubine Yan's
My hometown is in Qing'an Prefecture, so I added this item to the tribute from Qing'an Prefecture and sent a batch every month."
Now that he had relieved his fatigue, he put the porcelain bottle aside and reached for the next memorial. After opening it, he smiled and said, "What a coincidence, this memorial was handed over by the prefect of Qing'an.
"
The memorial was very long, with more than a thousand words, and he spent a quarter of an hour reading it.
