Chapter 386

The emperor did not know what the so-called black and white medicine looked like, so he had to ask long Yingwei to call all the medicines.

He also told the Dragon shadow guard not to disturb anyone.

Long Yingwei's execution is amazing. In a short time, he quietly holds the bottles and cans in the house of Princess Jing.

While waiting for the medicine, the emperor actually thought about whether Xiao LIULANG's words were flawed.

Generally speaking, the martial arts of the Dragon shadow guard can't kill Xiao LIULANG and Gu Jiao. If Princess Jing really gave him the order to assassinate them, he would never stop on the way.

However, long Yingwei's first order is to protect the emperor and never hurt the emperor. They will serve for Princess Jing, but they will not die in her mission.

Every Dragon shadow guard is precious. The former Emperor passed them on to his son, not for the sword in his son's hand, but for the shield to protect his son.

Unless they don't die, the master will die, then they will die.

When they realize that their lives are in danger, they will stop in time. The rupture of the mask is just one of the signs for the Dragon shadow guard to judge the danger.

It was clear to the emperor that he did not doubt Xiao LIULANG's words.

Xiao LIULANG was also worried about flaws, so the specific process of the assassination strictly followed the details of Gu Jiao's assassination by long Yingwei.

The emperor looked at the bottles and jars on the table and passed them on to the imperial doctor, who was asked to identify the herbs.

"This is Huoxue Dan, this is Jinchuang medicine, this is Dieda wine, this is the pill for replenishing qi and blood..." the imperial doctor carefully identified the herbs on the table, but he couldn't give an answer after reading two bottles of medicine for a long time.

"What's the matter?" Asked the emperor, frowning.

The imperial doctor put down the white bottle and the black bottle in his hand and said, "if you come back, I have no experience in these two kinds of medicine."

There was a guess in the emperor's mind, but he restrained it. He told himself to be calm and to have solid evidence.

"You step back." He's good at Royal medicine.

"Yes." The imperial doctor should give advice.

"Wait a minute." The emperor suddenly stopped him again, "what should be said and what should not be said, you know in your heart?"

The imperial doctor was terrified and said, "I will keep my mouth shut!"

Duke Wei personally sent the imperial doctor out of Huaqing Palace. When he returned to his study, he saw that the tea on the emperor's desk was cold. He quickly removed it and replaced it with a new one: "Your Majesty."

As like as two peas in the white bottle, the emperor found that the smell was basically the same. He took a white medicine out and asked Wei Gong: "I remember the last Qing Dynasty medicine that the Qing fire pill was almost the same as it, so you can get it."

"Yes." Duke Wei took qinghuowan.

Qinghuo pill is also a brown pill of this size, but its gloss is not as good as black and white medicine, and its smell is not very similar. But if it is mixed together, it will not be a big problem if it is not carefully identified.

The emperor took two pills from the white bottle and the black bottle, and put them in.

In fact, the emperor wanted to take a few more, but after taking more, the taste of the medicine in the bottle was hard to fake.

The emperor asked longyingwei to put the medicine back to the temple, and once again declared the Marquis into the palace.

This time, he didn't plan to let the old Marquis go to find out the information for him. He decided to go by himself.

"Your Majesty... That kind of place is full of fish and dragons, for fear of humiliating Your Majesty's identity, you'd better not go." The old Marquis dissuaded me.

"I'm not going to play." He's going to solve the case. As things go on, his curiosity is all hooked up. Of course, it's not just to satisfy his curiosity to find out the truth.

But his feelings and sincerity for so many years... He wanted to know if he was really wrong?

The old Marquis is a military general. He is not good at civil servants. He is not as sharp as the emperor. How can he say that?

After a few words of advice, the old Marquis reluctantly agreed.

The emperor changed his clothes and came out.

The old Marquis looked at him and reminded him, "Your Majesty, put on the mask. Don't let people recognize it."

The emperor said, "I'm the son of heaven. Only your ministers have seen me. How can I be recognized when I go to such a place where there are so many religions and so on?"

That's not necessarily true.

The emperor finally put on his own hat, which was covered with a veil and could cover his appearance.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was recognized as soon as he entered the underground arena.

It was the king of Ning who had gone to Jiangnan with the emperor.

The emperor was wearing this hat at that time.

King Ning couldn't help but kiss his father. He closed the window gently, leaving only a narrow gap. He didn't understand: "what's the situation? Why did my father come to such a place? "

"Is it possible that he is here to catch the prince?" Guard road.

It is reasonable for the prince to be noticed by the emperor.

Ning Wang slightly shook his head: "no, father Huang went to find the pharmacist of Yan state."

The guard didn't understand and said, "what do you want to do with the pharmacist of the state of Yan? Is your majesty not well? "

Speaking of this, King Ning thought of a thing. His father met a Taoist priest on the way back to the palace. The Taoist priest said that he could make immortal elixir for his father. For the sake of immortality, his father decided not to set foot in the harem for two years.

He had investigated the Taoist priest and found that his way was not right. When he was thinking about how to persuade his father to stay away from the Taoist priest, his father suddenly sent the Taoist priest out of the palace.

As if immortality is just a joke, or just a father's whim.

King Ning didn't know that the emperor had been infected with willow disease. Naturally, he couldn't guess that the emperor sent the Taoist just because his willow disease had healed and he no longer needed the pretext of immortality.

The Emperor didn't see the pharmacist of the state of Yan at last. He took a step, and the pharmacist of the state of Yan went out of the city.

As for how long it will take to come back, there is no definite number, ranging from three or five to ten days and a half months.

The emperor was so anxious to find out the truth that he could not wait so long.

He thought of a man.

……

Gu Jiao in the hospital installed for a while, thinking that the emperor should not come again, removed the gauze on the body, took the carriage back to the green water alley.

No sooner had she entered the room than the emperor arrived.

She didn't care about the half dried herbs, and swished back to her room!

She moved too fast, and Yao, who was watering the vegetable garden, didn't respond.

The emperor entered the courtyard.

Yao quickly put down the kettle and saluted. Instead of calling his majesty, he called him "Lord Chu."

The emperor knew that the relationship between the little doctor and the Marquis of Ding'an was not good, so he asked the old Marquis to come back first. He came by himself, only with Duke Wei.

"Is Jiao Jiao there?" He asked.

"Jiaojiao..." Yao didn't know that the young couple had cheated the emperor. He was about to say that Jiaojiao was in the room when Xiao LIULANG walked over from the next room with gauze around his neck and arms.

"Yes, Mr. Chu, please follow me." Outside the palace, Xiao LIULANG also called the emperor as an adult of Chu.

Looking at Xiao LIULANG's arm, Yao was shocked: "LIULANG, you..."

Xiao LIULANG looked at her steadily: "I'm ok. Don't worry about me."

Yao's Leng for a while, immediately understand.

She dropped her eyes and said quietly, "I'll go and see if the snack is ready. You call Master Chu."

Then she turned and went to the kitchen.

Xiao LIULANG took the emperor to the hall and poured a cup of tea for him. It was far away from the door, so Xiao LIULANG lowered his voice and said, "is your majesty here to visit Jiaojiao?"

The emperor asked, "I just went to the hospital. The shopkeeper said she's back. Is she better?"

Xiao LIULANG did not change his face and said, "I'm really awake for a while, but I didn't last long. When I got home, I fell asleep again."

The emperor frowned.

Xiao LIULANG then said, "is your majesty here to visit Jiao Jiao?"

The emperor sighed, "I'm here to visit her. There's something I want to ask her."

Xiao LIULANG looked at the Emperor: "I don't know... What is it?"

The emperor frowned and said, "a kind of medicine can't be recognized by the imperial doctor. I want to see her. Since she is still in a coma, I'll come back another day."

Xiao LIULANG said, "she's awake!"

The Emperor

Since Xiao LIULANG said that Gu Jiao had woken up, Gu Jiao had really woken up. She was lying on the bed, covering her mouth with pain and injury on her face.

Xiao LIULANG went into the room to have a look at her, thanks to him. Otherwise, her awkward acting skills would show up every minute.

"Your Majesty." Xiao LIULANG came out with a light cough and said to the emperor, "she's a little weak. Why don't you go in and ask her."

The emperor thought that Gu Jiao was injured all over and wrapped with gauze, which was inconvenient to see, so he asked Duke Wei to take out two medicine bottles he had with him and handed them to Xiao LIULANG: "go and ask Jiao Jiao what medicine is in here?"

After a pause, he asked Duke Wei, "which is the medicine in the white bottle and which is the medicine in the black bottle?"

"Ah... This, this..." father-in-law Wei was embarrassed. "I still remember it on my way. Now I suddenly, suddenly forgot it."

This is a pair of jadeite bottles with different patterns.

What Duke Wei thought he remembered was that he overestimated his brain.

The emperor waved his hand: "well, the little doctor is a doctor. I think he can tell."

It turns out that the emperor also overestimated people.

Gu Jiao could smell the tiny difference between the two kinds of pills. She knew that the two kinds of pills were not the same and would not mix them in the same bottle. But she could not remember which kind of pills was white and which kind was black.

Then you have to live like a play and rely on your mouth.

Xiao LIULANG sat down in the east room for a while, took out two bottles of medicine, pointed to them and said: "Your Majesty, these two kinds of medicine are not ordinary medicines. The one on the left is white medicine, and the one on the right is black medicine. They are a long lost drug. They came from the Tang clan at first. It is said that the prescription was stolen and gradually spread among the six countries. But because the medicinal materials are extremely rare, and because the steps are very complicated, only the pharmacists of the state of Yan can refine them. "

Gu Chao really inquired about these two drugs from a pharmacist in the state of Yan.

The emperor's face sank a minute, he felt close to the truth: "then... What kind of ecstasy are they?"

Xiao LIULANG said: "Jiaojiao is a kind of medicine that can confuse people's mind. White medicine makes people feel good, black medicine makes people feel disgusted."

Emperor: "is it the person who prescribes medicine?"

Xiao LIULANG: "it's not necessarily the person who took the medicine. It's the person who saw the medicine when it happened."

Emperor: how long after taking medicine can attack

Xiao LIULANG: "very soon."

This is not completely consistent with what Gu Chao heard, but it's not a conflict. If the drug takes effect quickly, it's very likely that what he sees is the person who took the drug.

With the deepening of the truth, the emperor felt that his breathing had been stopped, and he used a lot of strength to break through the blocked throat: "what happens when the medicine takes effect?"

"This... Varies from person to person. Some people don't even respond." This is Xiao LIULANG's own conjecture. At the beginning, Nanshi Niang didn't tell Gu Jiao in such detail, but Xiao LIULANG thought that if the emperor had a great reaction to traditional Chinese medicine, he would have noticed it.

If you take this kind of ecstasy, it will make you sleepy at most. It won't be stronger.

The emperor squeezed his finger tightly. He closed his eyes and asked, "how long can this medicine last?" If it doesn't last long, their kindness to Princess Jing and their evil to empress dowager Zhuang may have nothing to do with them.

Xiao LIULANG's words broke his fluke: "if there is medicine, it can last for many years."

Emperor a Zheng: "medicine... Lead?"

Xiao LIULANG said: "it's a kind of medicinal powder with the fragrance of flowers. It can be made into soothing fragrance or dried flowers and put into the brocade bag."

Tranquilizer!

Over the years, he has been using the tranquilizing incense given to him by Princess Jing!

"Go... Go and bring me the soothing incense from Princess Jing..."

"Sire, those soothing incense are useless. All the slaves have got rid of them." Duke Wei was embarrassed and said, "Wow, when he thought of something, his eyes lit up." a while ago, Mammy Cai gave the slave a purse. The smell is a little like Anshen incense... "

It's not like that.

But everyone has the problem of association, thinking that maybe they believe it.

That purse had been damaged by Nanshi Niang, and then Gu Jiao sewed it for Duke Wei, but the dried flowers didn't move.

He took off his purse.

Xiao LIULANG had known what the money bag was, but he still took it into the east room and walked through it. When he came out, he told him truthfully: "Your Majesty, what's loaded here is the medicine guide. Excuse me. Why do you have these things in your Majesty's hand? Does your majesty -- "

The emperor interrupted, "there are some things you don't have to ask."

"Yes." Xiao LIULANG should bow his hand.

The truth is that the emperor, no matter how stupid he is, knows what's going on. His heart has been impacted by an unprecedented impact. He even feels that his belief has collapsed overnight.

He got up with his chair, but with a shake of his legs, he fell back.

"Your majesty

Duke Wei was shocked!

"I'm all right..." the emperor waved his hand and stopped Duke Wei from helping him.

With all his strength, he stood up tremblingly. His hands trembled so much that he looked like a withered leaf in the cold wind. He was very sad.

Duke Wei's eyes were red: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor walked forward step by step: "I can walk without supporting me... I'm very good..."

As soon as his voice fell, he vomited a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious on the ground with black eyes——

When the emperor woke up, he found himself lying in his aunt's house, familiar with the environment, simple furnishings, but he was no longer the state of mind he used to be.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

It's the sound of old wine.

The emperor suddenly aged a lot, turned to watch the old wine in front of the bed, said feebly: "Huoxian."

"I'm here." The old sacrificial wine took a step forward. "Duke Wei is cooking medicine in the kitchen. How does your majesty feel? Is there anything wrong? I'll ask Jiaojiao to come and have a look. "

The emperor looked away weakly and looked at the monotonous top of the tent: "no, don't call her. I'm fine."

The old wine man sighed, "Your Majesty, you can tell me what troubles you have. I will spare no effort to share your worries and solve your troubles."

Lao Jijiu had just learned everything from Xiao LIULANG. On the one hand, he felt that Xiao LIULANG was so bold that he dared to do this kind of thing. On the other hand, he was very proud. His family was very promising. He planned carefully, deployed well, and was bold and careful

The main reason is that his heart is black enough to be his apprentice.

But at the same time, he also felt sorry for the emperor.

It must be very painful for your majesty to be calculated by his mother for so many years.

The truth is cruel, but if you don't do it, you can't save Zhuang Jinse, so you'd better put a knife in your Majesty's heart!

Lao Jijiu resolutely gave up the righteousness of monarch and minister, and turned the topic to Zhuang Jinse: "Your Majesty, are you going to rest in the blue water alley or go back to the palace today? There will be a empress dowager tomorrow morning. In fact, you don't have to worry so much. "

Mentioning empress dowager Zhuang, the emperor's look was in a trance for a moment: "Huo Xian."

The old toaster arched his hand and said, "I'm here."

The emperor looked at the beam shrouded in the shadow, laughed at himself and said, "do you think she hates me?"

Even I don't need to use it. It can be seen that my mood is so complicated that I can't control it.

The old sacrificial wine continued to put in a knife and said, "is your majesty talking about the Empress Dowager? I hate her. After all, your majesty has hated her for so many years and made her suffer from leprosy, which almost killed her... If I were her... Your majesty forgive me, I'm sorry. "

"No, you go on."

"Well, it's meaningless to talk about it now. It's impossible for your majesty to reconcile with the Empress Dowager."

It's impossible to reconcile. I don't know why. Hearing these words, the emperor suddenly felt uncomfortable.

The Emperor didn't reveal to Xiao LIULANG and Gu Jiao that he had been drugged, so the old priest thought he didn't know about it. He sighed and said, "if your majesty can't tolerate the empress dowager, please bear it. The Empress Dowager is only a few years younger than the old minister. She is very old. In a few years, your majesty can survive her."

The emperor's heart was even worse.

As soon as he thought that empress dowager Zhuang would lie in the cold coffin like the former Emperor, he stopped breathing.

He didn't know what was going on.

In fact, regardless of the efficacy, he and her stand is absolutely not to deal with, even if he did not get the medicine that is disgusting to her, he would also want her to step down quickly, hand over the power of the imperial government and leave his Jinluan palace quickly!

But why... Is it still hard?

The old sacrificial wine stabbed the knife without mercy.

He said: "Weichen is on your side. If your majesty can't tolerate empress dowager Zhuang, let longyingwei kill her."

The emperor's face changed: "how can I..."

As if he hadn't heard this sentence, the old wine maker said to himself, "in other words, it's strange that Princess Chujing was too impulsive. The former Emperor Mingming left an imperial edict to let virtuous empress die. She didn't steal it and burn it. That way, your Majesty would not be so troublesome. There is no empress dowager Zhuang in the world for a long time..."

A word awakens the dreamer!

Yes, the emperor left the imperial edict for Empress Dowager Zhuang to be buried. One day, the imperial concubine Jing was in the side hall of the emperor, but she found the imperial edict and risked her life to steal it.

In order not to be found, she immediately found a deserted corner to burn the edict.

In those days, the relationship between him and Empress Dowager Zhuang was not harmonious. They had several disputes over the emperor's treatment plan.

Jingmu Fei said that the doctor of Yan state is very powerful. His majesty can't live without craniotomy. Why don't you fight to death?

Now I think it's a terrible thing to have a craniotomy. Why did he think that Princess Jing had a good point at that time?

Empress Dowager Zhuang objected to craniotomy, and he felt that empress dowager Zhuang deliberately did not give the late emperor the last hope of cure

How could he

The emperor drew back his thoughts of running away and focused on the edict.

In fact, he had never seen the imperial edict. It was just a one-sided statement of the concubine, so does it really exist?

If it really exists, does the quiet mother really burn it?

It used to be that she didn't know her mind, but now the truth has come out. How could she miss an opportunity to kill empress dowager Zhuang?

There must be something else in the middle that he doesn't know!

The night is like water.

After Xu Shi, the palace gradually calmed down.

The majestic Jinluan palace is like a sleeping master, dormant in the night.

The Emperor didn't turn over the sign today, so the concubines stopped waiting and closed the Palace door with a sigh.

In the secluded nunnery, Princess Jing has just finished reciting a Buddhist Scripture. The cool night falls on her thin figure, crossing a layer of quiet light.

"Princess, it's time to rest." Cai Ma Ma reminds from the side.

Static too imperial concubine is holding the hand knock wood fish of Qian Zhi, softly ask a way: "what time?"

"It's just past Xu Shi," she said

"That's the time of the year." Static too imperial concubine put Qian Zhi back on the table, "Your Majesty should not come today."

She sighed.

Your majesty... I haven't come for a few days to greet Princess Jing.

"Madam, your majesty, he is..."

Static too imperial concubine light nod: "I understand, is I muddle headed, gave him under wrong medicine."

Mother Cai looked at Princess Jing with a complicated look: "Niang Niang..."

Quiet too imperial concubine light way: "sleep."

"Yes."

As soon as mammy Cai helped Princess Jing up, Huian screamed out of the door: "your majesty!"

Static too imperial concubine dim eye ground suddenly brilliance reunite, she holds the hand of mother Cai all tight for a while.

……

In the teahouse, Princess Jing and the emperor face to face, sitting on their own mats. In the middle is a long small table, with a pot of newly boiled flower tea and some vegetarian snacks in the nunnery.

"Tea." Princess Jing put a cup of flower tea in front of the emperor.

The emperor looked at the cup of tea, did not reach for it, his eyes fell on those delicate vegetarian snacks: "does the mother really love vegetarianism?"

Static too imperial concubine tiny perplexed ground looks at him.

Mother Cai walked out lightly and said to the little nuns outside: "you all go to have a rest. You are not needed here."

The little nuns went back to their respective meditation rooms.

Mother Cai closed the door for them and stood quietly under the porch.

Princess Jing poured herself a cup of scented tea. Although she was old, her well maintained fingers gently lifted the cup and laughed as if nothing had happened: "does your majesty ask me if I like to be a vegetarian? At first, I really can't get used to it, but after so many years, I should get used to it even if I hate it. "

"My mother hates going to the nunnery." The emperor keenly grasped the meaning of her words.

Static too imperial concubine tiny a Leng, put down the tea cup way: "I am not this meaning, I am just a metaphor, I don't hate vegetarian."

"But I don't like it either." Said the emperor.

Static too imperial concubine Cu Cu Cu eyebrow, see to Emperor way: "Your Majesty so late come is for with me to raise a quarrel?"

The Emperor gave a wry smile: "OK, I'll change the question." He said, lift Mou to settle ground to hope into the eyes of quiet too imperial concubine, "does mother imperial concubine really take me as own to kiss son?"

"Your Majesty is speaking more and more strangely. What do you mean that I really regard you as my own son? You were raised by me. You were held in my palace not long after you were born... Although you were not born by me, in my heart, you are the same as Ning'an! It's all my flesh and blood

"Speaking of this, my mother reminds me of one thing. When I was about to be born, it seemed that my mother was about to give birth. As a result, her mother gave birth to a dead baby, which angered the emperor. If it wasn't for this, I would be the child of my mother, right

Quiet princess's heart claps!

"You..."

The Emperor didn't let go of the guilty feeling that the Empress Dowager's eyes flashed by. He clenched his fist under the wide sleeve: "it's really what you did that mother will give birth to a stillbirth! Yes, if the queen didn't give birth to a stillbirth, where would she get a concubine to raise the prince? I should have been raised in the name of my mother

On the contrary, Princess Jing's fingers loosened little by little. She took a cup of tea and took a sip of tea: "I just entered the palace, but I didn't make friends with the queen, and I didn't have such a big way to make the queen give birth to a stillbirth. Liu Fei did it, believe it or not. "

The emperor said, "of course I don't believe it. But in the past so many years, Liu's family has died, and the palace man who delivered the baby for his mother's mother has died. There's nothing to find out. "

Princess Jing sneered: "so your majesty is here to make me make a move?"

Such a quiet Princess made the emperor feel strange: "mother Princess, you were not like this before."

Princess Jing sneered: "once upon a time, my son didn't abandon me. Of course, I didn't have to!"

"So it's my fault." The emperor's throat slipped awkwardly. "Why am I like this? Isn't my mother's heart clearer than anyone else?"

Without waiting for Princess Jing to ask "why do I know?" the emperor took out two medicine bottles. He poured the pills on the table.

As soon as the face of static too imperial concubine changes, breath suddenly strangled!

The Emperor didn't come to confront Princess Jing, so he didn't have to get the exact confession from her. He just came to tell her that he knew, he knew everything.

So many years of love, of course, is not false, even if there is the effect of black medicine, but the break at this moment still makes him sad.

"Don't try to explain. Don't explain. I won't believe a word of what she said in the future... I won't come back to the nunnery again... She'll take care of herself."

The emperor stood up with a sore throat and went out. As soon as he opened the door, he suddenly stopped, turned back and said with a choking voice, "long Yingwei... I don't think my mother's wife needs it anymore... I'll take it back from today."

Static too imperial concubine drags tightly fist, whole body trembles, the water light in the eye flickers, but a word also can't say!

"Your majesty Mother Cai knelt down and pleaded.

The emperor left without looking back.

Static too imperial concubine Qi and blood turn to gush, exasperate become angry, raise a hand to a table dim sum and tea set all whisk to the ground!

"Mother!" Mammy Cai went into the room in a daze.

Princess Jing stood up and stepped on the broken porcelain. Her blood flowed all over the ground along the winding tea.

Mother Cai said quickly, "lady! You are injured! Please raise your feet and let me have a look! "

But she didn't pay attention to mother CAI and the pain of her feet, so she ran back to her meditation room in a panic, stepping on the porcelain piece that deeply penetrated into her feet.

She opened the mechanism, found the dark box under the bed, and took out the box in the dark box.

Black medicine and white medicine were stored separately from the imperial edict.

She's got the last card. There's more!

If she goes to die, she will take Zhuang Jinse to die together!

It's hard for her. Don't live alone!

"Is this where my mother's wife is?"

A sudden voice came from the door.

Static Princess Bata opened the box, she looked at the empty box, and looked at the emperor's bright imperial edict.

The emperor's heart is painful, but his eyes are desperate and cold.

His eye socket is aglow ground looking at the whole body of embarrassed all have no escape of quiet too imperial concubine, take imperial edict to turn round to walk away!

"Don't -" Princess Jing pounced on the emperor.

However, before she took a step, she was blocked by the Dragon shadow guard from the sky!
