"No!" the emperor said coldly. At this time, he was very worried. How could he have time to see this irrelevant foreign minister?
The eunuch who came to report had to leave immediately.
"Wait a minute!" The emperor suddenly thought quickly and stopped, but did not speak for a moment. The eunuch stopped in a hurry and lowered his head, waiting for the emperor's words.
After taking a break, I heard the emperor ask: "Did you tell me what you came to report?"
The eunuch hurriedly replied cautiously: "Back to the emperor, Master Yu said that he came to report to the emperor about the repairs to Emperor Long'an's mausoleum."
Regarding the tomb of Emperor Long'an, could there be any clues about the elixir recipe of Dahuan Dan?
The emperor's heart moved, and he just pondered. Silence returned to the palace, and in a blink of an eye he said slowly: "Call in."
With that said, the emperor regained his composure and returned to his seat.
"Yes!" Regardless of the eunuch retreating, Ma Shunde raised his head and glanced sideways at the emperor. Just now, the emperor's expression changed when he heard that King Qi had something to do. But now, his expression is calm and there is no trace of sadness. Is this the emperor?
Outside the hall, Yu Qianzhi was standing on one side waiting quietly.
There was a little anxiety hidden in his eyes, but because of his deep nourishment, the guards and eunuchs around him saw that Master Yu, whom they had not seen for a while, was still as graceful and a gentleman as jade.
"Master Yu, the emperor allows you to come in." The eunuch quickly came out of the palace and brought a reply.
Yu Qianzhi nodded and went inside. When he walked to the main hall, he found that his arrival seemed to be unlucky. There were two people kneeling in the hall. One was the eunuch Ma Shunde, and the other was a new young imperial doctor whose surname seemed to be Xu.
The two of them were kneeling here together, which made Yu Qianzhi's heart move. Could it be that someone noble in the palace was sick?
Yu Qianzhi thought to himself and saluted the emperor.
"You guys get up first." The emperor said, "Xu Yingjie steps down."
"Yes, Wei Chen, please leave." Xu Yingjie suddenly felt like he had escaped from the dead. He was grateful to Yu Qianzhi for coming at "just the right time" and hurriedly left.
Ma Shunde stood up and stood with Eunuch Zhao. He glanced at Eunuch Zhao and found that he didn't even look at him. His heart sank. This old dog city is so deep!
The palace was deep and dark, and candles were lit during the day. The emperor looked out of the palace in shock for a while, and then said: "Yu Qing, please get up and come back suddenly, but what's the important matter?"
Yu Qianzhi lowered his eyes slightly and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you when I return to Beijing this time."
Something's wrong?
The emperor yelled and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yu Qianzhi didn't say anything, but raised his head slightly and glanced around.
The emperor only waved his hand, and all the eunuchs and maids present immediately bowed and retreated, neatly and silently, leaving only the two eunuchs Ma Shunde and Eunuch Zhao.
The emperor said calmly: "Just tell me."
Yu Qianzhi looked at Eunuch Zhao and Ma Shunde and did not insist anymore. These two people were the emperor's confidants, and even if they were dismissed, they would not be without personal guards, so his voice was a little low: "Your Majesty, I am in Long'an.
A secret room was discovered in the emperor’s tomb, and two things were found in the secret room.”
As he spoke, he took out a tightly wrapped yellow silk bag with an ink seal on it, and took out a crystal clear jade bottle from his sleeve.
Yu Qianzhi knew the rules very well. When he took out the items, he not only did not step forward, but also took two steps back.
"I found these two things from the secret room. There are two pills in the jade bottle. I can't guarantee whether they are the Great Return Pill. I can only say that judging from the appearance, they are extremely good pills.
medicine."
The emperor's eyes widened slightly. He thought he only had news about the elixir, but he didn't expect that Yu Qianzhi would actually get a big harvest this time. Not only did he get the elixir, but he also got things related to the Great Return Pill?
The emperor's cheek muscles twitched twice and said, "Let me see!"
"Yes!" Eunuch Zhao and Ma Shunde both went over. One took the yellow silk bag and the other carefully held the jade vase, and both were raised in front of the emperor.
The emperor looked at it carefully and then reached out to take the jade bottle.
Lift it higher, and you can see two radiant elixirs inside by the candlelight. Even through the translucent jade bottle, you can smell the fragrance of the medicine. Just smell it, and your spirit will be shocked. I originally took it.
The emperor, who had taken too much Xiaohuandan, suddenly felt refreshed that he had not seen for a long time.
The emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was really a great repayment. Doesn't it mean that what he had always hoped to do to prolong his life was no longer difficult?
But after all, the emperor frowned again and murmured suspiciously: "I have never heard that Emperor Long'an lived too long. He was over fifty-six years old, so he was only in his middle years."
The emperor previously only suspected that Emperor Long'an had the elixir in his hand, and thought that he probably failed to refine the Great Return Pill before his death. Now he got the suspected Great Return Pill in the tomb of Emperor Long'an. After the initial surprise, he committed the crime.
There was a murmur.
Even though this elixir looked very extraordinary, and it was not a great return elixir and there was no need for Emperor Longan to bring it into the mausoleum, he still didn't fully believe it. He stared at the elixir and frowned in thought.
Medicine is no different than other medicines. If you take it wrongly, it can kill you.
Just as he was hesitating, Eunuch Zhao handed the yellow silk bag to the case, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the medicine should not be taken lightly. I will give you a test of the medicine."
The emperor's eyes turned from the jade bottle to Eunuch Zhao. There was no reluctance on his face, and he could see that he was willing to do it, as if this was an ordinary thing.
"Oh, you old slave, you still have such a heart..." The emperor was startled, thinking of the time when Zhao Bingzhong came to his side, when Zhao Bingzhong tried the dishes for him. He didn't expect that so many years had passed in the blink of an eye.
The emperor was a little hesitant, not only because he was reluctant to waste the Great Returning Pill on a slave, but also because Zhao Bingzhong used it quite smoothly.
The previous demotion was not only a test, but also because Zhao Bingzhong had stayed by his side for too long. Whether it was in the outer court or the inner palace, if he had been an official for too long, there would be many disadvantages. Therefore, he was demoted and Ma Shunde was introduced as a hedge. Now it seems that it is still
The elderly can use it with confidence.
Moreover, Da Huan Dan Master restored his youth and asked others to try the medicine. He was too young to see the effect, but he was too old to get it for nothing. Since he was similar in age, Zhao Bingzhong was actually the most suitable one.
Thinking of this, the emperor nodded: "Yes."
Eunuch Zhao lowered his eyes and walked over. Ma Shunde on the side looked at this scene. It would be a lie to say that his mood was not complicated.
Princess Zhao offered to test the medicine, but the emperor actually hesitated. Even if he hesitated for just a moment, it was not easy for them to be such slaves.
Even if this was more about not wanting to waste elixirs on Eunuch Zhao, there must be some other reasons.
Fortunately, he thought he could easily overthrow Eunuch Zhao before. The emperor valued Eunuch Zhao even more than his trusted ministers, at least much more than he did!
He stared at Eunuch Zhao closely and secretly gritted his teeth: "I hope this old dog will die on the spot if this mouthful of pill is taken!"
If Eunuch Zhao is not dead, if he takes the opportunity to fully recover after this incident, wouldn't it be a big hindrance to himself?
Thinking like this, Eunuch Zhao took the jade bottle, carefully poured out one grain, and plugged the jade bottle again. Ma Shunde reached out and took the jade bottle over.
Eunuch Zhao didn't look at him, and stared at the elixir in his hand. He didn't take it immediately, but kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to use the jade sword."
