If the emperor realized something, he ordered: "Ma Shunde, go and get my jade sword."
This so-called jade knife was used to cut the elixirs to see their quality. Ma Shunde immediately understood. He also carefully handed the jade bottle back to the imperial desk, bowed and exited, and in the blink of an eye he came back with a jade knife.
Eunuch Zhao got the jade knife, cut it open without looking, and swallowed it.
Half of the elixir was cut open, and there was blood inside. No blood could be smelled at all, which made people feel energetic. The emperor's eyes couldn't help but fall on the half of the elixir in Eunuch Zhao's hand, and he smiled: "Why did you only take half?"
Eunuch Zhao kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the use of medicine is very important. You must try it. However, this elixir is precious. Although I have to test the medicine, how dare you swallow it all? You can know whether it is toxic or not if you take half a pill. If there are more pills, I will not be so lucky.
use."
The emperor had already guessed Eunuch Zhao's intention. Now Eunuch Zhao answered like this, nodded with satisfaction, and then stared at Eunuch Zhao, waiting to see the effect of the elixir.
After a while, the emperor made a sound, looked at it carefully, and said, "I see that there are some changes in you."
Others had looked at Eunuch Zhao from time to time, but now they heard the emperor's words and looked more carefully. After seeing this, they all nodded.
There is a slight change. In fact, the appearance has not changed much, but the aura has changed a bit. No matter how well Eunuch Zhao took care of himself, the old age could not be changed, but now, it seems that he has gained some youthfulness.
If Eunuch Zhao and the emperor were of the same age before, he looked only a few years younger, but now he looks five years younger.
Ma Shunde looked at it with jealousy and hatred, but Eunuch Zhao only took half a pill and was helpless for the moment.
The emperor was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Quick, quick, get water!"
"..." Seeing this situation, Yu Qian's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that even if he tried this kind of elixir, he usually had to wait for several hours or a day. Now that it had only been a moment, he couldn't wait, fearing
The emperor's health is really failing.
Ma Shunde hurriedly ran to pour some warm water and brought it over. The emperor poured out the whole elixir, drank it directly with the warm water.
After thinking for a while, he pointed to the remaining half of the elixir and said, "Put it in a jade bottle and have it sent to the queen."
Eunuch Zhao was busy sealing the elixir. At this time, the eunuch came in. Eunuch Zhao handed over the jade bottle and gave some instructions.
Seeing the eunuch leave immediately, Eunuch Zhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although the emperor is cruel, in fact, he still treats the queen..."
But when I thought about the fate of the prince, my thoughts suddenly stopped.
The emperor took the elixir and was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, "Yu Qing, you are also a Taoist disciple. Please help me with the details."
"Since ancient times, the bright light has been a winding path, and it has been difficult to reveal the saint through all the tribulations. Why are there ghosts and gods killing princes?"
As he said that, he threw a copy of the book. Yu Qianzhi knelt down to pick it up. When he opened it, he couldn't help but change his expression. There were ghosts and gods attacking King Qi. It really had an effect. More than 20 palace guards died on the spot. If it weren't for
When Liu Zhan arrived, he was afraid that even the King of Qi would not be able to survive. He was shocked and just thought deeply.
"This is unlikely. If ghosts, gods and the underworld can interfere with the world at will, the world will still be the world of the ancestor and emperor. Even if the children and grandchildren are unworthy, who can rebel against the emperor's guidance?"
"Slow down, Liu Zhan said before that there seems to be a change today, and the world's wisdom is gradually increasing, but this cannot be expressed to the emperor..."
While he was deep in thought, the emperor coughed lightly: "Yu Qing, what are you thinking about?"
"I think about it carefully, no other ghosts or gods can have such power..." Yu Qianzhi was caught off guard and was questioned, but he did not panic and bowed and reported: "Perhaps he acted a little more strongly on behalf of the king, so all the gods chanted in unison.
There is such a big thing to assassinate King Qi."
This was secretly giving eye drops to King Dai. The emperor was thoughtful and asked: "Is it this that King Dai is too impatient... If it weren't for this situation, it would be difficult for this to happen?"
This is suspicion of ghosts and gods.
Although Yu Qianzhi was awarded the fifth grade, half of his foundation was still in Taoism, so he naturally had his own position. He immediately said: "However, the three realms of heaven, earth and man are inviolable to each other, how can it happen frequently?"
"It's just that among all the ways, ghosts and gods are also among them. If you want long-term peace and stability, you need to show some respect."
Seeing the emperor's eyebrows frowning, Yu Qianzhi said calmly: "Of course, the emperor is the emperor, and he is on behalf of Tian An people to attack and kill the King of Qi. No matter what the reason, he must be severely punished."
The emperor's eyebrows spread wider and he asked again: "The demolition of the shrine was done by King Dai, so why was King Qi the one who attacked?"
Yu Qianzhi didn't know that Liu Zhan and others had answered, so he muttered and said: "Your Majesty, ghosts and gods are different from us, strangers. We, strangers, look at people's appearance, but ghosts and gods look at people, but they look at their anger."
"Previously, Dai Wang acted according to the decree, and later the King of Qi also acted according to the decree. Ghosts and gods look at the qi, and it is possible that they may have misunderstood and confused. Dai Wang, you are really lucky."
When he said this, he stopped. As expected, the emperor frowned again and his eyes became colder.
While they were talking, neither Eunuch Zhao nor Ma Shunde dared to leave. Yu Qianzhi replied, observing from time to time, and waiting for the results.
But after taking the medicine for a long time, no one else could see the change. The emperor also frowned, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and motioned to Eunuch Zhao to get a bronze mirror.
Eunuch Zhao came over with a bronze mirror. The emperor took it and looked at it. He looked at Eunuch Zhao again and his face looked a little ugly.
The bronze mirrors used by the emperor were naturally capable of discerning people with light.
He looked carefully and saw that there didn't seem to be much change. No, not only was it not a big problem, but it seemed that there was no change at all?
Others were also staring, but at this moment they didn't care whether they were doing something wrong. Eunuch Zhao and Ma Shunde both felt their hearts pounding.
The emperor did look a little more relaxed, and there was blood on his face, but after swallowing a whole pill, it was not as effective as when Eunuch Zhao swallowed half a pill. In terms of effect, maybe it was just a small return pill?
The emperor was irritated and thought to himself: "Are these two pills one real and one fake? The one being tested is real, but the one I took is fake?"
This possibility is not impossible, the emperor thought so and stared at Eunuch Zhao.
Eunuch Zhao's heart skipped a beat. He had made preparations in advance, but he couldn't prevent this from happening.
If only the elixir he was testing was real, even if he had cut it in half with a jade knife and only took half of it, he would still be resented by the emperor.
Ma Shunde felt happy. If Eunuch Zhao was unlucky because of this half pill, he could completely suppress it and no longer have to worry.
If nothing else, the emperor is not young. If your Eunuch Zhao is young, will the emperor not feel bored when he sees you?
Then there will be no chance to turn around.
After thinking about it, the emperor thought carefully for a while, and his eyes fell on the yellow silk bag again. He saw the ink pad on it, and his heart moved, so he asked: "You didn't open this thing to check?"
Yu Qianzhi hurriedly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, this is the treasure left by the imperial mausoleum. How dare I dismantle it privately? When I saw it, I sealed it immediately. I have the military academy captain to prove it."
