The Submissive Emperor

Chapter 48: Elixir

After a dance, Emperor Chunde offered wine, "The day before yesterday, the four sons of the emperor were happy with a pair of dragon and phoenix babies. I am very relieved. Today, I have a banquet for all the princes to congratulate the royal family."

Everyone toasted and thanked the emperor for Longen.

Just put down the wine glass, Qin Tianjian Jianzheng, that is, the ethereal real man Tao Miao, suddenly got up, walked to the center of the main hall, held a brocade box, bowed down and said, "The minister was ordered to refine the Yishou Yannian Dan, Jing Qiqiqi Refining on the forty-nine day, it will eventually become three elixir pills. May our emperor live with the sky and be blessed for thousands of years."

Xiao Chengjun looked at Tao Miu, who was wearing a Taoist robe, his eyes darkened. Regarding Mount Tai, this evil way attempted to harm him. He was sealed off by the Qintian Supervisor, and now he is administering an elixir. I really think that the court is not messy enough.

Emperor Chunde seemed very happy. Obviously he knew about this refining and alchemy. He waved his hand and asked Huai Zhong to take the elixir over, "Tao Aiqing has merit in alchemy, reward."

"This pill should be swallowed with strong wine." Tao Miao thanked the reward, pretending to be insulting, but the triumphant color that could not be concealed, Xiao Chengjun looked at it clearly from the side.

Lou Jing got close. He saw three black pills in the brocade box. He resisted the urge to curl his lips. Who knew about Yishou Yannian? He could also hold a box of hawthorn pills and say it was. The eternal life pill, anyway, when the emperor died, he wouldn't be held accountable for how this pill didn't make him live 10,000 years.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, there is nothing special, but the Yulin Army must prepare for the Taimiao sacrifice on the next day. The ceremonial guards, horses, and chariots must all be prepared in advance. The fourteen Yulin army had to go to the Taimiao first, and could only rest in the palace room at night.

Xiao Chengjun was alone in the mansion, arranging New Year's affairs.

"Every family's New Year gifts have been given before the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month," the outside steward gave Xiao Chengjun a glance with each family's gift list. "The return gifts are also here."

Xiao Chengjun took a look at it briefly. These are all going according to the routine, and nothing can go wrong. Suddenly, he saw a name "Jingwang Mansion" and couldn't help but pause, "Can there be news from Jingwang in the past two days?"

In November, Lou Jing tied a doctor from Jinzhou City to the capital city by coaxing, and gave Xiao Chengjin a pulse.

That doctor is a barefoot doctor handed down from generation to generation. He is very famous in the northwest area, but he only uses earthwork and can't get on the table. High-ranking officials and dignitaries rarely seek him for treatment.

Xiao Chengjun looked at the scruffy and thin old man, and couldn't help but frown slightly, but he believed that Lou Jing would not mess around, so he asked the doctor to check his brother's pulse.

The local doctor also didn't know Xiao Chengjin's identity, and treated him generously.

"Hey, you rich and wealthy people are just fine toss about," the old man shook his head after the pulse diagnosis, "Quickly don't live in this humid place."

According to this local doctor, living in hot springs in the early years was beneficial to Xiao Chengjin's body, but living for a long time, moisture entered the body, which was disadvantageous. Moreover, eating too finely on weekdays is not good for his body, so he should eat some whole grains.

According to the imperial doctor, the younger brother couldn't survive the winter, and the dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor. Xiao Chengjun went into the palace and informed the queen immediately.

Moved over at the end of November. It has been a month now. Although King Jing's body hasn't improved much, it really doesn't get worse anymore, and Xiao Chengjun's heart is rarely relaxed for a few days.

"For the gift of giving a palace banquet this morning, I heard that the prince has not coughed much in the past two days, and the pain in several joints has also improved a lot." The outside steward said with a smile.

"That's good." Xiao Chengjun also showed a little smile on his face.

"Report to the prince, there is a man who claims to be the Qintian Supervisor to see him." The guard came to report that the man had no famous post, so he came forward so rashly.

Xiao Chengjun grabbed a smile, and yesterday Tao Miao's palace feasted on alchemy. He just got in the limelight, but what did it mean to look for him today? "Let him go to the side hall to wait." In terms of his temperament, he is unwilling to see this gibberish, but now this person is favored by Emperor Chunde, and things can't be done too absolutely.

"Lao Dao has seen His Royal Highness the King of Min." Tao Miao was still wearing a gray robe, holding a foot-long whisk, and looked like a fairy-style bone.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Chengjun sat down on the main seat and looked at him coldly.

Tao Miao was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, the majesty of the King of Fujian was so intimidating, so he just sat so casually, with a sense of Taishan dragon walking, and people couldn't help but respect him, like what he had seen. The three princes and the fourth princes are more than a little noble.

Secretly suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Tao Miao piled up a smile and said, "It's really old-fashioned, but it's a big deal..." He said that, stopped deliberately, and looked up at King Min's. Complexion.

Xiao Chengjun was unmoved, and when he saw that he was not talking, he picked up the tea cup.

Unless you sit down and chat, the host serves as a see-off on weekdays. At this moment, Xiao Chengjun meant that since you have nothing to say, then go quickly.

Tao Miu suddenly panicked, pretending not to see King Min's movement of holding tea, and then said: "This matter is about King Jing."

Xiao Chengjun's hand was stagnant, his complexion unchanged, but a cold light appeared in his eyes, "Said."

"The old Tao heard that King Jing was poisoned when he was a child, and he has not recovered yet," Tao Miao said as he took out a small box from his sleeve. You can live with this medicine."

Xiao Chengjun closed his eyes. Only a few members of the royal family knew that the second prince would not survive this winter. Now this unconventional road that has emerged from nowhere dares to say this to him, and said in a deep voice, "Here you are."

When the voice fell, four tall guards walked in outside the door.

"Feed this pill to Jianzheng and take one. If nothing happens within seven days, come and negotiate with the king." Without him opening his mouth, Xiao Chengjun knew what Tao Miao was going to say.

This man is just a chess piece from the right side. Whether it is taking medicine to condemn him in the court, or using his hand to kill Xiao Chengjin, it is unforgivable!

"Hmm... Your Royal Highness..." Tao Miao didn't even react. The guards pinched his jaw and stuffed a pill into his mouth and threw it straight into his throat. "Cough cough cough..."

"Send off the guests." Xiao Chengjun waved his hand, letting the guard hold Tao Miao, who was terrified, and threw out the door directly. The younger brother is his Nilin, no one can touch it! Even if it's the emperor father, it can't!

Before Tao Miao recovered from the fright of swallowing the pill, he was thrown into the snowdrift outside the door with a "poof".

From this day on, Tao Miao was listed by Xiao Chengjun on the list of people to be killed.

Because early in the morning of the second day, I will travel to the Taimiao Temple to worship the sky. On the night of the twenty-ninth lunar month, the princes who have been out of the palace to build the palace will also enter the palace. In the palace, lest you have to run at both ends.

The princes lived in the Chonghua Hall of the Outer Palace, dedicated to the princes and nobles staying in the palace. Xiao Chengjun had the highest status and lived in the main hall. The three princes and the fourth princes each chose a partial hall.

Lou Jing turned over several times on the hard bed in the classroom, and finally couldn't sleep. He and Xiao Chengjun had not slept together for three days. Originally, one was in the palace and the other was in the palace. It didn't matter if you didn't think about it, now Chonghua Hall Not far from the Habayashi army's class room, the guard in the palace was very transparent when he was a middle-ranking general.

With this thought, Lou Jing simply got up and turned out from the back window of the class room.

Counting the time of the guards' inspection, Lou Jing counted in the dark. After the three breaths, he quickly jumped to the top of the wall, leaned on the glazed tiles, and three breaths. When the guards in the Chonghua Hall passed by, they turned and jumped down and walked along the back wall. Step closer to the main hall.

"Tao Miao, this rubbish, didn't let him accept the pill?" In the brightly lit side hall, the third prince Xiao Chengduo's anxious voice came.

"His Royal Highness, it is a good thing that King Min didn't accept the pill, it's too obvious..."

"What do you know?" Xiao Chengduo said dissatisfied, "This is a two-seat strategy. Doesn't Xiao Chengjun care about that waste the most? Why today..."

"His Royal Highness, speak carefully." The people around him hurriedly admonished, Xiao Chengduo stopped talking, and after angrily cursed Tao Miao, he stopped speaking.

Lou Jing squinted his eyes and stopped staying any longer. He jumped over the hand-written veranda and entered the main hall.

"Why did you come?" Xiao Chengjun was looking at Taimiao's ritual, and suddenly heard the sound of window mullions turning. He looked up and saw a familiar figure already squatting under the window, closing the window lightly. There was a smile.

"I miss you so hard..." Lou Jing squatted on the spot, didn't move forward, just looked at His Royal Highness the King of Min aggrievedly.

Xiao Chengjun laughed, and walked over to pull the person up and brush the water droplets off his body. The snow stopped early. The snow must be covered by the snow on the wall. "The guards in the palace are strict. You should go back soon?" Ming Zaoyu Lin Jun had to get up earlier than the royal family, and running around Lou Jing like this would definitely not sleep for two hours.

"I'll sit with you for a while and then leave." Lou Jing knew that there should be no mess in the palace, so he dragged His Royal Highness Minwang to sit on the soft collapse and rubbed him in his arms for a while.

Xiao Chengjun smiled and let him dawdle. The two didn't say anything. The Chonghua Hall was not a place they could control. Who knew how many ears there would be on the wall, they knew they were hugging each other quietly for a while, thinking about their own thoughts. Then, Lou Jing raised his head and asked for a long kiss before turning the window reluctantly to leave.

On the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor led a hundred officials to worship the heavens, to tell the ancestors of the merits and demerits of the year, and pray for the good weather in the coming year.

Lou Jing rode a high-headed horse and led the guard of honor before the imperial court. In the morning light, he looked even more heroic.

The third prince Xiao Chengduo sat in the chariot and looked at the handsome man through the crowd. The greed in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and he whispered to the little **** beside him, "Is everything arranged?"
