"What is the crime of the poor Taoist? Tonight, Wang Shaozai delivered the holy edict and urgently summoned the poor Taoist to the palace. Why was he kidnapped to face the Holy Spirit?"
"Haha!" Zhao Ji sneered and took out the white jade bottle containing the rejuvenation elixir from his arms. It was half the size of a fist. The exquisite pattern carved on the surface of the bottle was 'I rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass'.
"Lin Lingsu, have you ever recognized this white jade bottle?"
Lin Lingsu looked up after hearing the sound and replied doubtfully:
"I know Pindao. This white jade bottle was made by the jade carving master Pindao found four years ago for the official Changsheng Emperor.
When Pindao presented it to the officials, the officials praised Pindao endlessly!"
Zhao Ji was sitting on the dragon chair, shaking the half-fist-sized white jade bottle. There was also half a bottle of rejuvenation elixir the size of soybean grains inside, which made a clanging sound as it collided with the wall of the bottle.
"I'm here to ask you, what is in this bottle?"
Lin Lingsu replied honestly: "This jade bottle contains the rejuvenation elixir refined by Pindao himself. It can make your majesty live longer, and everything in the sexual intercourse is like a dragon getting water!"
With a "pop" sound, Zhao Ji slapped the dragon case.
He was so frightened that the great eunuch Liang Shicheng, who was standing beside him, trembled.
Liang Shicheng hurriedly bowed and said: "The officials should calm down and don't let your anger hurt the dragon's body!"
Lin Lingsu was also frightened by Zhao Guan's sudden anger.
This is the first time he has seen the Zhao Guan family's thunderous anger towards him since he became favored six years ago!
Lin Lingsu vaguely felt that there might be something wrong with the rejuvenation elixir presented to the emperor. Otherwise, why would the Zhao family, who had always been so fond of him, suddenly turn against him and order the Imperial Guards to tie him into the Daqing Palace?<
/p>
He wondered in his heart, hadn't the Zhao Guan family been taking the rejuvenation pills normally for the past four years?
Nothing happened!
Lin Lingsu knew that although the Zhao Guan family believed in Taoism and valued Taoist priests, accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. If any Taoist priest dared to displease the emperor, the consequences would be very serious.
He suddenly remembered: four years ago, Wang Zaixi, Mr. Wang, who was most favored by the Zhao Guan family at the time, had secretly kept dozens of women in the Taoist temple. After his adultery was exposed, the faith of the Zhao Guan family almost collapsed.
In anger, Zhao Guan's family sentenced Wang Zaixi to death...
Thinking about this, Lin Lingsu became more and more frightened. He frowned and thought to himself that when he was young, he once met the layman Dongpo who read his fortune. Didn't Master Su say that I have an amazing appearance? Although I was poor when I was young, I became rich as an adult.
Extremely'? Isn't it accurate?
Lin Lingsu still wanted to save the situation, so he immediately expressed his loyalty and said:
"The loyalty of this poor Taoist to Emperor Changtian can be seen in the sun and the moon!"
Zhao Ji smiled contemptuously and said: "Since Aiqing's loyalty to me is evident day and night, then before Aiqing personally refined the rejuvenation elixir and presented it to me, did Aiqing also take it for a long time?"
/p>
Tell me the truth, or I will punish you for deceiving the emperor!"
Lin Lingsu wanted to answer deceitfully: She had also been testing medicine for officials for a long time...
However, he thought that among his disciples and the young Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, there might be spies planted by the emperor. Perhaps, like him, some of them wanted to gain power by telling secrets and removing the master who was about to fall out of favor.<
/p>
Therefore, Lin Lingsu hesitated and answered more honestly:
"Of course I have taken this rejuvenation pill before, and I have also tried the medicine for officials.
To refine this rejuvenation elixir, Pindao needs to use more than a hundred kinds of precious medicinal materials, mix them together with private cinnabar produced in Zhongnan Holy Mountain, and then use charcoal burned from red sandalwood to refine it in the Laojun furnace.
After ninety-nine and eighty-one days of preparation, a furnace of rejuvenation elixir can be made, and there are only eighty-one pills!
How can a poor man dare to take such a rare rejuvenation elixir for a long time in the world, so most of the rejuvenation elixirs have been donated to His Majesty the Immortal Emperor!"
Zhao Ji knew that ancient emperors would not end well if they took elixirs for a long time.
For example, in order to seek immortality and immortality, Qin Shihuang favored alchemists and took elixirs for a long time. Due to the toxic side effects of the elixirs, he remained ill in his later years. The first emperor of Qin Dynasty was only forty-nine years old and died of illness.
The sand dunes during the fifth eastward tour...
"Haha..." Zhao Ji sneered:
"Then Aiqing is really a loyal minister! In order to reward you as a loyal minister, there is half a bottle of rejuvenation elixir left in this white jade bottle. I will give it to Aiqing and swallow it on the spot!"
"Ah?!" Lin Lingsu was so frightened that she fell to her knees, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged for mercy: "Emperor Immortal, this is impossible..."
Zhao Ji ignored Lin Lingsu's plea for mercy.
He handed the white jade bottle in his hand to Liang Shicheng, the eunuch who had been standing respectfully beside him.
Liang Shicheng immediately understood and said flatteringly: "I obey the order. I will definitely do this job clearly. I will ask Daoist Lin to swallow not a single drop of the rejuvenation pill in this bottle!"<
/p>
Zhao Ji nodded, didn't say much, just looked on with a smile.
He also sighed in his heart, why can such a treacherous minister be favored?
The main reason is that traitors are smart people and can see through their master's thoughts. The most appropriate method to deal with this kind of thing is to use traitors to control traitors.
Liang Shicheng held the white jade bottle given to him by Zhao Guan's family in both hands, and trotted to Lin Lingsu who was kneeling on the ground in the hall and begging for mercy. He was smiling but not smiling, and said:
"Taoist Master Lin, the Zhao Guan family gave you this bottle of rejuvenation pill, why don't you quickly thank Lord Long for his kindness?"
Lin Lingsu: "…………"
When Liang Shicheng saw Lin Lingsu just kowtowing and begging for mercy from Zhao Guan's family, he also guessed something.
Of course, our family is basically clean!
I haven’t experienced certain things personally,
However, our family has been in the palace for so many years, so we have learned a lot from what we have seen and heard!
Tonight, Lin Lingsu was suddenly accused by Zhao Guan's family. It was most likely that Zhao Guan's family went to have a tryst with Li Shishi, the oiran of Fanlou tonight, and the official took the rejuvenation elixir refined by Lin Lingsu.
The effect is not very good,
Maybe I didn’t have enough fun,
It’s even disappointing...
Liang Shicheng knows who gave him the power he has today, it was all from the Zhao Guan family. As for Lin Lingsu, who was once a partner more than four years ago, he is just a passerby in his life.
Liang Shicheng shouted an order to the two imperial guards who were guarding Lin Lingsu:
"According to the official's instructions, we are here to give medicine to Daoist Lin! You two help us pry open Daoist Lin's mouth!"
The two Imperial Guards secretly glanced at the Zhao family who was leaning on the dragon chair, and saw that the officials looked like they were watching a good show.
The two of them immediately understood that they really wanted to feed Lin Lingling, the most favored Taoist priest at the moment, all the rejuvenation elixir in this bottle!
The two Imperial Guards immediately took action. One grabbed Lin Lingsu's hair and yanked him back, making him face up;
Another guard put his left hand against Lin Lingsu's forehead, and with his right hand, he pinched his chin and pressed it down hard...
The once unparalleled "immortal" Lin Lingsu was forced to open her mouth.
Liang Shicheng smiled and unscrewed the lid of the jade bottle of "I Riding a Green Ox", poured out a handful of rejuvenation elixir, and held it in his left hand...
