The head waiter took Duwei's reward and didn't dare to neglect it. After a while, he trotted all the way to bring Lao Yan.
Du Wei was dressing and washing under the service of several court maids. As Lao Yan came into the room in military uniform, he couldn't help laughing: "how about it? Are you used to living in the barracks of the imperial guards? "
Others didn't know, but Lao Yan knew the meaning of this. After all, he was once a member of the imperial army. He hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "our military camp in Northwest China is comfortable. Everything here is too enjoyable."
Looking at his indifferent expression, it was obvious that he had no feelings for the imperial guards any more.
After Duwei waved several waiters out, he said: "Lao Yan, you go out of the palace immediately and go to the city to find Mr. blue ocean! You should know Mr. blue ocean's name! Go as fast as you can and tell him I have something important to ask for advice. Please make sure to wait for me at Duke tulip's mansion tonight! "
With that, Du Wei asked Lao Yan to hold out his hand, picked up a pen on the table, and wrote a Chinese character "Ji" in Lao Yan's palm. Others can't understand it. As the most outstanding disciple of Daxueshan, LAN Haiyue will understand it. And time is pressing. Dewey is afraid that the blue ocean will not come, so he can only use this method. If you want to see this word in blue ocean, you will come out of curiosity.
Lao Yan is not a talkative person. He just does what Du Wei tells him. He doesn't speak at the moment. He nods and goes out directly.
After Du Wei had breakfast, a court magician in a red robe came to see Du Wei.
Du Wei knew that Prince Chen had mastered the power of the court magician since he was a child. It can be said that he was in the whole palace. The people he trusted most were not the royal guards, nor the court guards and waiters, but the power of the court magicians in this palace!
The court magician's face was cold, and he didn't say much when he saw him. He took him back to the palace where Augustine VI lived.
Dewey saw double glum, the poor man who looked very miserable. He knew that he had given him the medicine to change his voice.
Glum's throat was swollen. When Dewey arrived, he was rolling in bed with a sore throat. And this time, Chen prince also stands at bedside.
Seeing Du Wei coming in, Prince Chen's face was puzzled: "Du Wei, what did you give him to eat? How could he be like this? His throat is swollen like this. The party the night after tomorrow... "
Dewey shook his head. "The lump will go away tonight. Your highness, what I give him to eat can change his voice. Don't you think his voice is too different from that of the former Emperor? "
Prince Chen's face looked much better. He laughed: "well, Duwei, I'm a little worried. You know how I feel right now. "
Dewey shrugged his shoulders, then took a little ice berry out of his arms. Carefully with his fingernails, he separated a little bit of the grain of rice, and put his finger in front of glum's ground: "if you eat it, your pain will be relieved a lot."
Of course, Prince Chen knew what it was. He just moved his eyebrows. Nothing was said. In his opinion, there is no point in using expensive ice berries to relieve pain on this dying man.
Glum obviously had a lot of trust in Dewey, and he soon calmed down after swallowing the little ice berry.
Duvera sat down with him and looked at glum's face carefully.
He drew a lot of lines on glum's face last night, marks and lines left by how he planned to dress up and transform the muscle shape of glum's face.
Glum remembered Dewey's words and didn't wash his face. At the moment, the lines are still very clear.
Just under the eyelids of Prince Chen, Du Wei took out the tools he found in his room last night, and some medicines he made last night.
He first dyed glum's hair gray with medicine, and then a bottle
Only he knew that in this bottle, there was the spring of time! But of course, it's not the original solution. Instead, it's diluted with water in a ratio of 1:1000.
This ratio was tested by Dewey in the northwest.
Dewey thinks. Even in perfect makeup. It's impossible to turn a 40 year old into a 70 year old. Although glum's facial features resembled those of the old emperor, there was a great difference in his age. Whether it is wrinkles, as well as muscle elasticity, skin gloss, there are huge differences. If only with make-up words, is unable to cover up the years of surprise.
Since he can't make up, Dewey is just cruel, let glum grow old!
After glum took a sip of the water in the bottle, Dewey immediately took the bottle back and quietly took it back into his pocket.
Then, under the surprised eyes of Prince Chen, glum's appearance began to change!
He seems to be aging with the speed that the naked eye can distinguish! On the forehead, on the canthus of the eye, appeared one after another soon wrinkle! Originally still clear eyes, but also gradually become turbid up. The color of the skin began to fade, and the cheeks, which were a little too full, became shriveled
In less than a meal, glum, who was about 40 years old, seems to be 20 years old!
Not only that, but also one of his teeth fell off!
Prince Chen's eyes were just pure surprise, but at last, the middle-aged man who was still in spirit just now turned into an old man standing in front of him. Prince Chen's eyes suddenly flashed a faint vigilance!
Yes, it's vigilance!
He immediately subconsciously looked at Du Wei!
Although Prince Chen himself is also a magician, he doesn't know what magic potion Du Wei just gave glum to drink. Even he hasn't heard of this magic potion in the world!
A lot of thoughts immediately came to his mind: could this kind of thing become the most terrible poison?
If this kind of thing is used to harm people, isn't it
"How did you do it, Dewey!" Prince Chen's tone is very serious.
Of course, Dewey knew what the king was worried about. In fact, he didn't want to take out the spring of time. But now there is no way, only this kind of thing can maximally cover up glum's age.
"It's just a magic potion I made up." Dewey tried to be as plain as he could be.
"It can make people old? Or is it more effective? " Prince Chen asked.
"No Dewey made up a lie: "it's just an appearance. It doesn't really make him old, your highness. As time goes by, its effectiveness will disappear, and glum will return to its original form. The liquid medicine I made can last about 15 days. "
Dewey thought: the party is over the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid glum will die. My own lie. There will be no proof of death.
"Just the appearance?" Chen Prince listened to this words, in the heart slightly settled some. Anyway, this potion is terrible.
After all, Prince Chen is also a magician. He knows that any magician will keep his secret and will not disclose it to others easily.
"So... If you overdose it, can it directly make people old to death?" Prince Chen couldn't help asking.
"No Dewey's answer seemed calm: "I said, it just makes people look old. It's not true. There's no use in overdose. As soon as time goes by, it's back to normal. "
After all, Prince Chen is the Regent. He can't stay here all day, and it's boring to watch Dewey make up glum. Soon he left. He has a lot of business to deal with from all over the country. However, when he left, he was in the trust of Dewey and did not leave the court magician to supervise.
"All right!" Dewey stood up and patted glum on the shoulder. From the left and right two angles to look at the appearance of glum.
Now it seems that there are almost no loopholes!
With the passage of time, the spring has made glum old for more than 20 years. Originally, his appearance was very similar to that of the old emperor, but now it is even more similar.
With some subtle make-up techniques and magic potions, Dewey made some subtle changes in the place where he marked his face, making his face look like the resurrection place of Augustine VI!
"The night after tomorrow is the real test." Dewey sighed: "the biggest problem now is. You don't really behave like an emperor. "
"Because I was just a tailor." Glum's voice was hoarse.
"All right, tailor." Duvet mumbled, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "you stand up."
Glum stood in front of Dewey.
"Hands behind you... Well, keep your chest up! Glum "Remember, you're not you now," Dewey suddenly exclaimed! You are an emperor now! An emperor who once controlled the whole empire and made everything rich! Keep your chest up! Don't look left or right! Yes
He adjusted glum's posture for a moment and said, "what kind of court etiquette, temperament and so on. You can't master it in just two days. So. Let's just make it easier... You remember, from now on. You don't have to laugh, just keep a straight face... "
"My Lord, I can't laugh at a dying man even if I want to." Glum said lightly.
Dewey said nothing and nodded: "that's what I need, glum. The real Augustine VI has lost power, and he has actually abdicated. For an empty emperor who has lost his power, he must be depressed. So the depression you're showing right now fits that. I ask you the night after tomorrow, as long as you keep this kind of expression, face, who talk to you, you can make a pair of indifferent appearance. And... Impatient, impatient eyes, can you do it? Yes, that's it! If you feel that someone is talking to you and you can't answer, you hum, and then pretend to be impatient, to show that you are now disheartened and indifferent to anything
After a day's training, Dewey found that after leaving the burden of fear of death, glum actually has a talent for acting. He should not choose to be a tailor, but an actor, although there is only opera in the world“ In order to avoid loopholes, at the beginning of the banquet, as the emperor, you have to say some toast, but you don't need to make a long speech. Just raise your glass, and then say "long live the Empire" indifferently, impatiently and indifferently. Remember to use that kind of disheartened and boring look. " Dewey sighed. In fact, for a dying man, pretending to be an emperor who has lost his power is quite similar in terms of emotional expression“ A little bit of irritability, a little bit of depression, a little bit of impatience, a little bit of indifference. " Dewey said carefully: "if you grasp these four points, you can cheat most people. And you can rest assured that the night after tomorrow, I will always be near you to "protect" you. " That afternoon, Dewey even did a "drill.". He asked for Prince Chen's permission and ordered the kitchen in the palace to send some delicious food to his majesty. When several servants in the palace who had no knowledge of this incident came here with food, "his majesty Augustine VI" tasted it indifferently and casually. He probably felt that the taste was not right, so he was furious and threw a valuable crystal bottle out of the hall, even smashed a poor waiter's head. People on the scene saw the angry roar of "His Majesty the Emperor:" do you still think I am the emperor! Do you neglect me in your heart now All the people looked at the angry and despotic monarch, and no one dared to speak. Everything... Is flawless. Duvet hid behind the walls of the palace, relieved. After the crowd left, Dewey patted glum in a cold sweat and said with a smile, "you've done a good job. The anger just now is very good." Glum's reaction was cold: "my Lord, I didn't perform. I'm really angry..." "well..." Dewey looked at the man in front of him“ I don't understand, I am a good person, I didn't miss anything, I treat my work wholeheartedly, I love my family... But why, I want to die inexplicably? Yes, I am a small person, a small mole ant, but my life can be arbitrarily deprived. " Glum's voice was light and full of frustration: "it's not fair! It's not fair This little man's cry, at this moment, makes Du Wei speechless
