MTL - Princess a Lives By Kissing Me Every Day-Chapter 98
So far, everything has been going smoothly.
Ever since Lin Moran met Mr. Zhao in private that day, in order to be worthy of his care for him, he worked harder and harder every day. The people in the Imperial College could not help but be deeply infected by her, and the learning atmosphere in the school was very tense for a while. soaring.
On the other side, Xu Yi also gradually gained the trust of the emperor, and began to refine "immortal medicine" for him.
They were said to be immortal medicines, but they were nothing more than some elixir for strengthening the body, but because many folk remedies and herbs were used in them, they were actually quite curative, which relieved the emperor's cough and headache to a certain extent, so that he did not have to stay up all night. sleepless.
This unavoidably made the emperor overjoyed. Not only did he reward him with a big hand in a separate garden, a thousand taels of gold, he even made an exception several times in the early dynasties and asked him to accompany him. Lord.
Such actions are enough to show how much Xu Yi holds in his heart. It was the first time such a thing had happened in the several years since the founding of Dazhao.
I don't know what kind of poison this demon master put on the emperor!
Seeing this, the ministers couldn't help but feel very worried, for fear that he would follow in the footsteps of the late emperor, and frequently advised him to remonstrate, hoping that the emperor would consider it carefully. When entering the court, one's academic reputation and character are always considered, so where is this magical metaphysics? In other words, such practices are undoubtedly unfair to other students who are studying hard, and it is really chilling.
But the emperor had already made up his mind, so how could he listen easily.
Being seriously ill for many years is enough to consume all the energy and mind of a person. The emperor is afraid, and he doesn't want to go back to that kind of life. On the contrary, he wishes to live healthy and healthy for hundreds of thousands of years, and stay in this position for a long time. Sit down, if you want to achieve such a wish, you can't do without Xu Yi's elixir after all, if anyone dares to make nonsense judgments on this matter, it is unfaithful and unjust and plotting to commit crimes, and should be severely punished!
He has a high-sounding appearance, but is nothing more than being blindfolded by power and status, and it is difficult to distinguish others.
But... What the emperor didn't know was that the pills that Xu Yi prepared for him were only a way to delay the attack, and they could not completely cure his illness. Without him, the focus of this illness has not yet been clarified.
"Excuse me, Master Immortal, why is this?" One day, Qin Yuci briefly met Xu Yi again on the pretext of borrowing medicine.
"Returning to Your Highness, the Holy Majesty's illness is really too strange." After finishing speaking, Xu Yi opened his lips and responded softly, "Everything is about cause and effect. The Holy Majesty's cough has not healed for a long time. If you want to treat the disease and prescribe the right medicine, start with the lungs."
"So I formulated a lot of medicines for promoting qi and blood circulation, resolving phlegm and softening firmness, and advocated nourishing yin, clearing heat, and harmonizing yin and yang. The curative effect was indeed quite remarkable at first, but I didn't want to stop before it. If I want to be effective, I have to increase the dose again. Use together with medicine to protect stomach qi."
This is really strange.
Qin Yuci paused in response, and after a while raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, deliberately lowered his voice, and said slowly: "Master Immortal thinks there may be some other reasons for this."
"For example... poisoning."
"It is indeed possible." Xu nodded and said, "I also thought of this, so I paid special attention to the daily diet of the Holy One, and even checked the utensils he used under the pretext, but found nothing. inappropriate."
"I claim to have traveled all over the world, but I have never seen any herbal medicine that can have such an effect. It is colorless, odorless, and even invisible, making it almost difficult to find and detect."
After finishing speaking, Qin Yuci's brows subconsciously frowned, and after a long silence, he said, "Master Immortal has worked hard."
"If you haven't achieved results, why bother?" Xu Yi shook his head quickly upon hearing this, "The progress of the current situation is blocked because of my short-sightedness, and I really feel ashamed of trusting Your Highness."
"The fairy master's words are serious." Qin Yuci comforted him after hearing the words. Now that everything has not been concluded, it is too early to say such words.
She paused for a moment, but finally smiled slightly: "The world is so vast, there are too many unheard and unseen things. It's just that the immortal master has never dabbled in a certain one, which doesn't explain anything."
"What's more, the immortal master has devoted himself so much to me, and the words are already very grateful." Qin Yuci said, always respecting Xu Yi's age and qualifications, and never called himself "my palace" when we met in private, "after today's farewell, I I will also pay more attention to this matter, and if there is any progress, I will meet with the immortal master again."
"Yes." Xu nodded and said nothing more.
The two met in the name of getting medicine, and they shouldn't have talked too much, so they parted, and went back to the palace on different paths, and then Qin Yuci went straight into the study and didn't leave for a long time.
This is the case every day, and it has been very busy these past few months, until New Year's Eve.
Time flies really fast.
Right now the emperor's illness is still not cured, it is all due to the elixir given to him by Xu Yi, although the cough has been relieved, but there are still other symptoms gradually appearing, which makes him feel more and more powerless and tired, and has no intention of attending court affairs. He also has no intention of being in the harem, and only looks forward to longevity.
Even on New Year's Eve, it was not as grand as in previous years, but simply explained and asked people to add some things to the palaces, and ordered people to prepare family banquets for a short gathering with the concubines, princes and princesses of the palaces.
Times have changed and each year has its own differences. As the eldest princess, Qin Yuci's natural position is very superior, and she can have a panoramic view of everyone in the banquet when she lifts her eyes.
Qin Yuewei, although she was lucky enough not to be implicated in the incident with Xu Bei, she was gradually suspected by the emperor after all, thinking that she was not capable enough to be successful. important task.
On the contrary, the fifth prince, Qin Mingxuan, because his mother and concubine are in the limelight, has never lost their love over the years. He was even named King Ning not long ago.
And most of the remaining people have also changed more or less. The Tian family is like this. It is not worth mentioning that they are favored today and lost tomorrow.
If it is said that the only constant is Qin Ruojin.
"Emperor Sister!" Qin Ruojin said, she has been pressured by her mother and concubine to study recently, and she hasn't come out to play for a long time, it also happens that Qin Yuci has been too busy recently, it's hard to see her easily, so she misses her even more.
Just taking advantage of the emperor's future, he sneaked over to say hello to Qin Yuci: "Let me see how you are doing recently?"
"It's okay." Qin Yu resigned, raising his hand to brush off her gripping hand, "Now everyone is gathering in front of Qin Mingxuan to make noise, why don't you go and see this lively scene?"
"No." Qin Ruojin shook her head immediately after hearing that, "What's so interesting about Lao Wu's place? The reason why they gather there is nothing more than because he was recently named King Ning by his father, and his power looks good."
"It's not as good as Sister Huang's place." She paused, then subconsciously looked around, "Oh right, why didn't Mo Ran come today?"
"The weather is too cold, so I asked her to stay in Changle Palace to rest."
"As expected of an imperial sister, she is considerate." Qin Ruojin immediately understood when she heard the words, and quickly nodded and gave her a thumbs up. Before she could exchange a few more words, the palace servant said loudly, "Your Majesty is here!"
"Oh." Qin Ruojin was taken aback, fearing that the emperor would punish her, she hurriedly got up, "After the banquet is over, we will have fun with sister Huang!"
Sneak faster than a rabbit.
Seeing this, Qin Yuci felt helpless for a while, but after all, she calmed down his mood a little bit, and then he stood up with everyone to pay respects. After some procedures, as the eldest princess, he naturally had to set an example and toast the emperor and empress himself. .
Recently, the emperor has become more and more haggard, and the closer he is, the more obvious it is. Even with the rich and luxurious dragon robes as a foil, it is difficult to hide his exhausted look. He is even thinner than usual, and there are a few strands of white hair on his sideburns.
It's really emotional.
But Qin Yuci didn't say much, and respectfully toasted the emperor, then filled a glass again, and turned to respect the queen.
Unlike the emperor, although her mother has always declared that she is ill, her appearance has not changed for several years.
Naturally, his attitude towards her was also consistent, like a monarch and his ministers getting along, not like a mother and daughter.
"I wish my mother all the best and good health." Qin Yu resigned, raised his hand and drank the wine in his hand again. Seeing this, Empress Xiao also raised her glass and drank the wine in the glass in response.
But before he could move, he was stopped by the emperor's words.
"You have been in poor health, so just drink alcohol, let's replace it with tea." The emperor said, this is always the case for family banquets in previous years, but for some reason this year it was mistaken for wine, "Come on, replace it with the queen's favorite tea Su Lan."
The so-called Sulan is the name of a kind of flower. If it is made into tea, the taste is slightly bitter, but the aftertaste is very sweet.
It's just that this flower is very difficult to see, and the growth environment is also very different. Not only does it have high requirements for temperature and humidity, but it also often grows on steep mountain tops. It is very difficult to pick, and the annual grain production is very little.
Therefore, the only ones who can drink this tea are those who are in high positions like the empress and who are loved by the emperor.
"Your Majesty still remembers this." Empress Xiao rarely curled her lips into a faint smile when she heard the words, "The concubine is flattered."
"Where is this?" The emperor responded with a smile, quite happy, "You are my queen and my wife, and it is only natural that I dote on you!"
"Besides, this tea is really delicious." The emperor held her hand and warmed it in his palm, "Since I tasted it a few years ago, I have been deeply influenced by the empress, and I love it even more .”
"Maybe it's not because I like it." Speaking of this, he laughed and felt that he seemed a little hypocritical, but when he saw the queen's face, holding her hand, and being stared at by her beautiful eyes, he couldn't help thinking about it. To continue, "It should be for the queen."
"Seeing that you like it, I also want to try to like it. In this way, there is one more thing in common between the two of us. Why not do it."
"It's a delight."
