Chapter 303

The pills made overnight were packed in porcelain bottles by Chen Jia. In order to highlight the "elixir", he deliberately asked Xiaobai to go out of the palace to find his eldest brother Xia houhao and get a batch of dark porcelain bottles.

Chen Jia put the pills into a porcelain vase and said to Xiaobai, "you take these pills to the South and find a Jianghu doctor. It's best for an old guy who is good at cheating to lure him with a lot of money and let him pretend to sell elixirs all over the south."

Xiaobai received the porcelain vase and replied, "I see. Next, wait for the emperor to go south and take the initiative to find the door."

Chen Jia nodded: "remember, you must warn the emperor that this elixir should be hidden and eaten secretly. In short, you let the old liar make it up casually in order to avoid the people in the Tai hospital to check the elixir."

"I see."

"Go, go now. The sooner the better. Don't play and delay on the road."

The little white-collar asked him to leave.

When he left, Xia Houyu asked Zhong Liqing, "why don't people in taihospital see the pill? It doesn't hurt to see it. The pill doesn't want to be poisonous."

Chen Jia replied: "but if they can see that this pill is the medicine to ease the swallowing of divine incense, it will be troublesome."

Xia Houyu looked shocked: "do you suspect that the person who poisoned his father was in collusion with Tai hospital?"

When Chen Jia thought of what she had seen in the imperial dining room when she first came here, she said: "I saw a maid in waiting in the imperial dining room named He Xiang. I found that she had secret contacts with the eunuchs of the imperial hospital, and he Xiang was the person around the virtuous Imperial concubine..."

"Then there will be no fake..." Xia Houyu said, "in this deep palace, only the virtuous imperial concubine can attack his father and Emperor."

Chen jia'an comforted him and said, "it's about half a month since the virtuous imperial concubine increased the drug. We found it early. As long as the emperor takes the pill, it won't be a big problem in the short term. Don't worry so far now. Take care of yourself and welcome the detoxification treatment."

Xia Hou Yu took a deep breath. Yes, his life and death are still uncertain. How can he worry about others?

He asked Zhong Liqing, "how sure are you to cure me?"

Chen Jia answered truthfully, "if you take the body of the third prince a few months ago, the success rate is no higher than 30%. Now, I'm 70% sure."

"That's 30% uncertain?"

"No, the other 30% is in your Highness's hands. If you have a firm will and can hold it, it's 10%."

Xia Hou Yu tugged at the corners of her mouth and replied, "in order to eat two spicy hotpots, I will hold on."

On the first day of March, the emperor drove out of the palace and went to the south to hold a grand ceremony to worship heaven. He was accompanied by three princes on May, July and September, and served by two concubines, Yin Fei and Lin Zhaoyi.

Most of the principal officials in Kyoto went south with the emperor, and even the forbidden guards in taixuancheng followed most of the emperor's transfer. In order to stick to the defense work of taixuan city in Kyoto, the Minister of the Ministry of war and general Ju Hongchang transferred 3000 Pro guards to strictly guard taixuan city. For a time, there were few strangers in the city except the students who came to Beijing.

As soon as the emperor left, the Imperial Palace was tight outside and loose inside. The German imperial concubine took care of the Imperial Palace on behalf of the virtuous imperial concubine. However, the German imperial concubine was a person who couldn't go out of the gate every day, so it was rare to have more freedom in the imperial palace. The palace maid and the eunuch dared to gossip in the corridor. The bodyguards outside the Qianyi hall were scattered, and they dared not come for a long time when changing shifts. Even Yuanfu took leave to go home to visit his relatives - on the contrary, they had the impression that the third prince was crazy and didn't need to bother.

In the Qianyi hall, Chen Jiazheng checks all kinds of precious medicinal materials one by one. According to the poison medicine manual, Xia Houyu's detoxification treatment should last for a full ninety-one days, and new herbs need to be replaced every nine days. There are many kinds of medicinal materials. Don't make a mistake.

It took Chen Jiahua a whole day to check the medicinal materials completely. The medicinal materials for the first nine days have been processed and can be used directly.

In the whole warm Pavilion, there were only him and Xia Houyu, but there was an unspeakable sense of suffocation.

Xia Houyu had been pacing in place all morning until she saw Zhong Liqing sorting out the herbs like a golden bell all day.

In fact, why isn't Chen Jia nervous? Just pretending to be calm and comforting Xia Houyu.

"OK." Chen Jia said, "put it in the medicine bucket."

Xia Houyu's eyes were determined and she dived into the medicine bucket naked.

This medicine bucket is different from the previous one. The wall of the bucket has been doubled, and both inside and outside have been fumigated by medicinal materials. The potion in the bucket is also thick brown, emitting a strong herbal flavor.

After Xia Hou Yu dived in, just after half a column of incense, she felt hot all over, which was very different from the previous medicine bath.

Chen Jia said: "the first nine days is to forcibly increase your blood flow rate, so the medicine is very strong, and acupuncture will be very painful. This is the first test."

Xia Hou Yu nodded to show understanding, gritted her teeth and insisted. As Zhong Liqing said, he only felt the instability of Qi and blood all over his body and ran around. Everywhere he went, he brought an unspeakable sense of numbness and pain.

Chen Jia gave the pulse from time to time. When the time came, she took out a set of gold needles.

Xia Houyu saw this golden needle. When he was fascinated with incense, Zhong Liqing used this set of golden needles to pierce his acupoints. He still remembers the pain at that time.

At this time, Zhong Liqing stabbed a golden needle. Xia Houyu only felt as if his body had been bitten by thousands of ants. He felt severe numbness and pain, which immediately made him sweat on his head.

He held on silently, dying for his crown, watching the gold needle in Zhong Liqing's hand stab into his body quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. When all the gold needles were used up, Xia Houyu could still keep a little sober, which surprised Chen Jia.

Xia Houyu was speechless at this time. Only the cold sweat all over and the green veins on his forehead showed his great pain.

Chen Jia put down an hourglass in front of him and said, "when the hourglass drops back and forth, you can pull out the needle. Close your eyes and don't look. Think about happy things. In this way, time will pass faster."

Xia Houyu closed her eyes.

Happy memories of his life began to emerge in his mind. Unexpectedly, everything was related to Zhong Liqing.

I heard for the first time from Zhong Liqing that my disease can be cured;

For the first time, I received knee pads and gifts sewn by Zhong Liqing for him;

For the first time in the middle of winter, I ate the hot pot made by Zhong Liqing;

The first time I heard Zhong Liqing say that he would be sent to the throne

Xia Houyu thought that his eyebrows were gradually stretching. He seemed to feel no pain in his body. He only remembered Zhong Liqing's words and deeds. Those memories keep turning in their mind like a horse lantern. They won't be tired of it.

I don't know how long later, he heard the voice of Zhong Liqing.

"Your Highness, it's time to take the needle."

Xia Houyu opened his eyes again. Zhong Liqing was right in front of him. He quickly took off the silver needles one by one. With the departure of the silver needles, the numbness and pain in his body gradually disappeared, and the blood and Qi churned in his body, but it brought no pain, but an unspeakable warmth.
