Liu Che was lying on the couch, his eyes were dull, and he had lost a whole circle. Three days was not a very long time, and he would not lose too much even if he didn't eat or drink. Liu Che's description of being haggard was all because he paid too much attention to that map.
, I really wanted to figure out what Su Ren was painting, and I was so exhausted and exhausted that I ended up like this.
Wei Zifu had been waiting by the couch, and Chun Yuyi was also there. There were more than a dozen imperial doctors kneeling aside, and the palace maids and chamberlains stood there without daring to make a sound. Su Ren was escorted in, tied up, and there was still something in his mouth.
Stuffed with rags, the two royal guards never left. Whenever Su Ren made any movement, their swords would definitely hit Su Ren's most lethal place.
"Mr. Su!" Wei Zifu nodded towards Su Ren and motioned for Su Ren to be untied.
The black-armored guard did not move. Wei Zifu sighed: "The Queen Mother has ordered Su Ren to diagnose and treat Your Majesty. Do you want to resist the order? Untie!"
Liu Fu came over quickly, untied the rope for Su Ren, and said to Su Ren with tears in his eyes: "Sir, it's all slaves who are bad. You shouldn't take your things. If you want to blame, blame this slave. Please save your majesty, sir."
!”
Liu Fu was very smart and took the initiative to take over the matter. Su Ren touched his wrists that were so painful from being tied up with ropes, and glared at Liu Fu: "Let's note this down for now, and we'll talk about it later when His Majesty is well!"
"Thank you, Mr. Thank you!" Liu Fu was not worried, but happily knelt down and kowtowed to Su Ren.
After exchanging glances with Chunyu Yi and looking at Liu Che's condition, Su Ren already knew what the problem was. He sighed and pulled Liu Fu over: "Tell me, what did your Majesty say when he came back? Not a single word."
Can’t miss it!”
Liu Fu glanced at Wei Zifu, who nodded, and Liu Fu said: "After your majesty looked at the paper that the servant took from the master's study, he ordered him to return to Chang'an immediately, and then sat in the announcement room without saying a word.
, sleepless and restless, if the Queen Mother hadn't knocked on the door today, I'm afraid His Majesty wouldn't have come out."
"Nothing said?"
"No, no, no!" Liu Fu said quickly: "When your Majesty left the announcement room, he told the Queen Mother that he had found some fairy mountain."
"Fairy Mountain?"
Liu Fu nodded his head vigorously: "It's the Fairy Mountain, and then he stopped talking again, until now!" As he spoke, tears flowed down again.
In the mouths of later generations of historians, Liu Che was indeed a wise king, a figure similar to Qin Shihuang, Tang Taizong, and Qing Shengzu. However, when Liu Che got older, he became a representative of a faint king. He listened to slander, appointed alchemists, and killed his wife.
Son, he did all the most unscrupulous things he could do. The original intention of doing these things, or simply because he wanted to live forever.
Su Ren didn't know whether Liu Che regarded Japan in the map as a fairy mountain or Australia as a fairy mountain. It can be seen that Liu Che had the intention to seek immortality in his bones, but it exploded in the later period when he was old.
That's it. Now that we know the root cause of the disease, we naturally have to consider the fairy mountain to cure the disease. What is there in the fairy mountain? Naturally, it is the gods and the elixir of life. If the gods cannot be invited, then we can only make a fuss about the elixir of life.
Su Ren did not rush to diagnose and treat Liu Che, but went to Chunyu Yi's medicine box, opened it, and rummaged through a pile of bottles and cans.
Chunyu Yi frowned and drove Su Ren away: "Get up, this is medicine. Whatever you want, I will help you get it!"
Su Ren smiled and whispered a few words in Chun Yuyi's ear. Chun Yuyi's eyes widened: "Can this thing cure your Majesty's illness?"
Su Ren looked at Chunyu Yi: "Try it!"
Chun Yuyi took out a white porcelain bottle from the medicine box, shook his head and handed it to Su Ren. Su Ren uncorked the bottle and sniffed, and a sweet and sour smell penetrated his nose. After confirming that it was correct, he opened the bottle again.
He stopped it and said loudly to everyone: "This thing was made by my master. Although it cannot cure all diseases, it has the effect of prolonging life. If you take it regularly, you can live forever!"
As soon as the words immortality were spoken, Liu Che reacted immediately on the bed and turned to look at Su Ren. Su Ren ignored him and continued: "Please remember, this thing is an elixir, which is naturally difficult to make. It is made with
It takes ninety-nine and eighty-one days to practice using the blood of kun in the sea in the east, the red flowers in the land of fire in the south, the snow lotus in the extremely cold mountains in the west, and the inner elixir of the white bear in the wild land in the north. It is also supplemented by ginseng and deer antlers.
, Angelica sinensis, etc., thousands of kilograms of medicinal materials are consumed, and only thirty pills are made in each furnace. Take one pill every three days. Taking it for thirty years will extend your life by ten years. Taking it for fifty years will extend your life by twenty years. Taking it for a hundred years will make you immortal.
!”
Su Ren spoke so loudly that the imperial doctors, chamberlains, and maids all had longing expressions on their faces. Even Wei Zifu unconsciously looked at the porcelain vase in Su Ren's hand.
"Su Qing!" Liu Che made a weak voice and was already lying on the side of the couch, with a gleam in his eyes.
Wei Zifu quickly supported Liu Che, tears streaming down his face no longer possible: "Your Majesty, you are awake!"
Su Ren smiled slightly, turned around quickly and knelt on the ground, shouting along with everyone.
"Su Qing, is that really an elixir?" Liu Che's eyes never left the porcelain bottle in Su Ren's hand: "Can you let me taste one?"
Su Ren pretended to be very reluctant: "Your Majesty, this is the elixir made by my master. Although I have the prescription, the materials are scarce. It took Mr. Chunyu and I a year to refine it. If Your Majesty hadn't had
I won’t take it out even if I’m sick, but since Your Majesty wants to try it, there’s no harm in eating one.”
Su Ren carefully took one out of the porcelain bottle. It was a small pill, and the whole body was glowing with black light. It was hard to tell whether it contained so many things as Su Ren said. After the pill was poured out, it gave off a sweet and sour taste.
Several imperial doctors seemed to smell something, exchanged glances with each other, then lowered their heads and remained silent.
Su Ren put the pill in Liu Che's hand: "Your Majesty, this medicine is expensive and cannot be taken with ordinary water. It needs rootless water!"
Liu Che's eyes widened: "What is rootless water?"
"Ahem! This rootless water is the water that falls from the sky and has not yet touched the ground. This is the water given by the rain god. It is the purest. Only by taking medicine with rootless water can the full effect of the medicine be released."
Liu Che nodded repeatedly and suddenly frowned: "It hasn't rained in the past half month. Is it possible that if it doesn't rain, I won't be able to take this medicine?"
Su Ren smiled: "That's not necessarily true. The water in the big tank outside the palace is made from rainwater!"
"Yes, yes! Liu Fu, go quickly!"
Liu Fu quickly got up from the ground and rushed out of the hall. He didn't have much time, so he came in with a little water in a small bowl. Su Ren took a look at the water. Although it was clear, it already had a smell. Since he was taking medicine
, then you have to react a little bit. It’s not a bad idea to drink some smelly water to clear out the contents in your stomach. If Liu Che asked, Su Ren would also explain that the fairy medicine is naturally intended to drain away the dirt in the human body!
Liu Che took the medicine, but his eyes were still staring at the porcelain bottle in Su Ren's hand: "Zi Heng, I know this time..."
Liu Fu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's my fault that this servant is not good. I shouldn't have taken Mr. Su's things, otherwise I wouldn't have made Your Majesty sick. I deserve to die. I'm willing to let Mr. Su handle it."
Liu Che snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with you that I took it? Do you think he will believe you when you say so?"
Liu Fu knelt on the ground and said nothing. Su Ren said: "Be careful with your trust! So the villain decided to let Liu Fu do something for the villain, even if it is his punishment!"
"Thank you, Mr. Su!" Liu Fu was a smart man, and not everyone had the chance to take the blame for the emperor.
"I haven't said anything yet!"
Liu Fu looked sincere: "Mr. Su saved Your Majesty, even if you let me die, I won't say anything!"
"Okay! With your heart, I will spare your life!" Su Ren smiled slightly and said to Liu Che: "If your majesty wants to know the secret of that picture, I will naturally tell you the truth when your majesty recovers. However,
I wonder if your majesty can also give me a reward?"
"Reward? You already have the elixir, what more reward do you want?"
Su Ren looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand and gritted his teeth: "If your majesty agrees to this request of the villain, I am willing to give you the elixir and promise to supply it for your majesty to take in the future, so that your majesty will live forever!"
Liu Che's suspicion arose again: "Didn't you just say that the medicinal materials used in this medicine are extremely rare? It took you and Mr. Chunyu a year to obtain thirty pills. How can you supply them to me?"
Su Ren smiled and said: "Your Majesty forgot, I know many friends!"
Liu Che shook his head and smiled bitterly. He thought of the rebels Su Ren had made friends with in the past few years. Needless to say, Ying Guangji, I heard that he went to the west plateau; the thorns were even worse. The white bear skin covering the emperor's body was made of thorns.
It was given to Su Ren, and Su Ren gave it to him; and there was also Yu Shan, the prince of the Huns, who might be Shan Yu in the future.
Precisely because of this, Liu Che had confidence in his heart and said: "It's settled! Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"
Su Ren looked around and fixed his gaze on Liu Fu.
Liu Fu was stunned. Liu Che laughed: "He can't do that! I'm still waiting for him to make you laugh!"
Su Rendao: "The villain doesn't want him either. There are a lot of ghosts and elves there! Liu Fu, come here and find someone for me!"
Liu Fu took a deep breath and quickly climbed up to Su Ren's side. Su Ren said a few words in his ear, Liu Fu nodded, and once again rushed out of the hall.
Wei Zifu was completely relieved. He had been observing the emperor. Since taking Su Ren's medicine, Liu Che had indeed recovered. She asked her maid to tell the Queen Mother the good news, and she stayed to wait and see what Su Ren wanted to do.
The Queen Mother came earlier than Liu Fu. When she learned that the Emperor was already well, the old lady ran over quickly without being supported by her maid. She ignored the crowd and ran directly to her son. Now the son is his.
After all, if her son is the emperor, she is the queen mother. If her son is a lunatic, he will naturally be nothing. After carefully looking at her son, although he is still a little haggard, he is in good spirits, which reassures the queen mother a lot.
"Su Ren, are you aware of your guilt?" After confirming that the emperor was fine, the Queen Mother pointed the finger at Su Ren.
Su Ren hurriedly knelt down. Wei Zifu said quickly: "Queen Mother, please calm down. Your Majesty is cured thanks to Mr. Su's magic medicine. This time Mr. Su can make a great contribution! Please ask the Queen Mother to bypass Mr. Su for the sake of watching Mr. Su save His Majesty."
This time."
Liu Che also pulled the Queen Mother and said: "Mother, this matter happened because of my son. I can't blame Su Qing. Please calm down."
Just as he was talking, Liu Fu ran in sweating profusely, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Wei Qing, the eunuch of the Constitution, is waiting outside the palace for your Majesty's summons!" (To be continued)
