After he left, Princess Qianjin whispered: "I know a medicine that can be used when you are tired. It can make you feel refreshed and free from all diseases."
"Although I can't have the permanent appearance like yours, it can also prolong your life."
As she said this, Princess Qianjin still looked intoxicated.
When Wu Meiniang heard about prolonging life and longevity, she immediately became interested.
And her mind suddenly recalled the conversation she had with Li Zhi on the top of the mountain. Yuan Tiangang once refined the longevity pill for Taizong.
Now she knows that Yuan Tiangang is a bad handsome man. If there is news about Yuan Tiangang, she may find a chance to ask whether it is true or not.
"So, what kind of medicine is it? Why don't you tell me and listen to it."
Princess Qianjin smiled and said: "This medicine has a lot of potential, even the imperial doctor doesn't have it!"
"Oh? There's no imperial doctor? Come and have a look."
Princess Qianjin glanced around, then quietly approached Wu Meiniang and said:
"I don't know if it's true or not, but it is said that there was a king in ancient times whose civil and military skills were not inferior to Taizong and Gaozong. Like you, he worked hard for state affairs every day."
"One day he was in the harem preparing for a blessing, but when he saw the girls he couldn't help but became furious."
"Because those concubines are all old and frail, with black hair and gray hair."
"The king was in his prime. He was very puzzled. How could the concubines be so haggard even though they were not very old?"
"Then he ordered people to diagnose the diseases of all the concubines."
Wu Meiniang snorted, knowing that this was nonsense, but she wanted to know how to prolong life.
lure.
The temptation of immortality.
Since ancient times, this temptation has been extremely powerful for kings and even powerful ministers.
Even if it is a medicine that can make them live ten or twenty years longer, few people can resist it.
Although practicing Weeping Blood Record can also prolong life, the disadvantages are too obvious. If she fails to practice it well, she will live for another ten or eight years at most. If she practices it well, a drop of blood cannot be contaminated. How is it different from death?
Princess Qianjin continued, minding her own business: "That imperial doctor is very capable and is rumored to be praised by the living Hua Tuo."
"Within a moment, he told the king that the king was busy with government affairs and neglected his concubines, which is why he was like this."
"The king asked how to treat it. The doctor said that he would give him half a month. He has a medicine that can cure the disease, but the king needs to avoid it and cannot be seen for half a month. He just wants to give him a surprise at the end."
"The king doesn't know what the medicine is, but he is a cheerful person. He knows that every person with good medical skills will always hide some of his own secret medicine, so he allows it."
Speaking of this, Princess Qianjin looked at Wu Meiniang with her mouth slightly open, and said with a smile: "Half a month passed, and when the king inspected the harem again, he saw that all the concubines looked charming and had delicate figures. They were obviously healed. "
"The king was about to reward the imperial doctor, but he didn't know that the imperial doctor had secretly escaped with dozens of men in their prime."
"The king was furious and ordered people to block the imperial city and arrest all the people."
"At first, the king thought these people were assassins, but when he saw that they were all sallow and thin, and they looked like they were about to die, they didn't look like assassins. Instead, they seemed to have been abused."
"After torture and interrogation, these people told the truth."
"The medicine used by Ban Yue is..."
At this point, Princess Qianjin stopped talking, because everyone knew what happened next.
Wu Meiniang said calmly: "You are a talkative fellow, you are very courageous. You dare to talk about some evil methods of harvesting yang and replenishing yin in front of the Ai family. It is ridiculous."
Princess Qianjin shook her head: "Yin pole is yang, yang pole is yin, the harmony of yin and yang is the cycle of all laws. How can it be called an evil law if it is not strange?"
"The fact that it has appeared since ancient times means that it has a meaning. Without this method of yin and yang, who can tell what is good and what is evil?"
"And please think about it, Queen Mother. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Xia Ji was the third queen and the seventh wife. She was quite old but had outstanding grace. All of these relied on the medicine of picking up yang and replenishing yin..."
Wu Meiniang sneered and said: "According to what you said, you should be regretting the late use of the medicine. If it had been a few years ago, your appearance might be the same as that of the Ai family."
Princess Qianjin felt confident when she saw that Wu Meiniang didn't fight her out directly. She stepped forward and raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "I'm really not kidding. I spent a lot of money to buy this tonic technique."
"Just tell me whether you want it or not!"
Wu Meiniang let out a long sigh, slowly raised her head and looked out the door.
Does she want it?
maybe.
But she has Li Zhi in her heart, and since she met Li Yunxiao, who else can she allow in her eyes?
"Okay, take your skills and go out. The Ai family will pretend that they have never heard anything. You are Gaozu's relative. Otherwise, they would have beaten you out long ago."
"Alas!" Princess Qianjin stood up and sighed: "If the late emperor were alive, I wouldn't dare to say these things, but now I can say something ugly. We are all widows, and who can laugh at whom? This has happened to so many people throughout the ages. It’s not just us doing it!”
Wu Meiniang leaned on the dragon chair and put her chin with one hand and said calmly: "You and I are different."
"Don't you read history books and don't you know about Qin Zhaoji?"
Zhao Ji of Qin was the biological mother of the First Emperor of Qin. She was originally Lu Buwei's singer and was presented to King Zhuang Xiang. After the death of King Zhuang Xiang, because Ying Zheng was young and Lu Buwei took over the country, Zhao Ji reconciled with her.
Then, when Ying Zheng grew up, he killed all his half-fathers, and Zhao Ji was imprisoned until she died!
Princess Qianjin couldn't help but smile and said: "Hi, my Queen Mother! Thank you for reading the history books. How old is Zhao Ji? How old are we?"
"At our age, what kind of shameful things can we cause? Isn't your son a man of the day? Where does the hatred come from?"
"Furthermore, Empress Lu, Empress Dowager Dou, etc., can't they be called the female middle school of Yao and Shun? Aren't there still Li Yi, Li Chong, etc."
"I'm going to be treasonous. When Princess Wei was over ninety years old, she still wanted to use this method to collect yang and replenish yin. What do you have to worry about, Queen Mother?"
"Your Majesty? Now who doesn't know that the current Holy One is your good boy? As long as the country is in good condition, who among the ministers in the court dares to take care of you? Right?"
Wu Meiniang thought for a long time, her throat rolled.
Seeing this, Princess Qianjin smiled lightly and said, "That's good. I'll offer you the medicine first, just to express my feelings. If you don't like the medicine, just throw it away."
Wu Meiniang didn't say anything, and Princess Qianjin continued: "Your Majesty, this elixir is very powerful, don't miss it..."
Princess Qianjin talked about this medicine in a very lavish way, and said all kinds of wonderful things that would make people blush.
Wu Meiniang glanced at Princess Qianjin and said half-heartedly: "The Ai family is the regent. How can we harm the country just because of medicine? Please step aside."
Princess Qianjin smiled and replied: "Of course the Queen Mother cannot use medicine indiscriminately when she is in power. I will just wait for you to rest. If it is not too late to use it, then I will retire."
After Princess Qianjin left, Wu Meiniang calmed down and lay on the dragon chair alone.
....
Two days passed.
The autumn night is slightly cooler, and the time when the vegetation was lush has passed long ago, and even the flowers have lost their bright colors.
Wu Meiniang, who had been busy for a long time, returned to the palace near nightfall.
Today, outside the palace, in addition to Gao Lishi and the two maids who had been waiting for her, there was another man.
Wu Meiniang was startled. When she saw the so-called medicinal materials, she suddenly felt a little confused. Why did she let her put the medicine in when her head was hot?
The man looked at Wu Meiniang very calmly and bowed deeply, but then he felt that she was not respectful enough and knelt on the ground again.
"The young one is here to deliver medicine to the Queen Mother on the order of the princess."
As he spoke, he held a jade bottle in his hands.
Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed brightly. Could it be that she had misunderstood? Is there really any medicine?
