Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Gao to fetch spring water, heat it and send it to the palace.
Ying Zheng was anxious to visit his wife Nansu and returned to the palace alone without waiting for Zhao Gao.
Mrs. Nansu lay flat on the bed. The red hijab had not been completely lifted, only her face was exposed. Her complexion looked better than at the wedding ceremony.
Mrs. Hu Yu was guarding the bedside and chatting softly with Nansu.
Mrs. Lanting washed the towel with warm water and seemed to have just wiped Nansu's face.
The other two ladies are preparing porridge, rice and medicinal meals.
When the ladies saw that Ying Zheng was back, they all stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty."
"No courtesy." Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked urgently, "How is Nansu doing?"
"It's better. I feel a lot more energetic." Hu Yu said.
Ying Zheng quickly walked to the bedside, looked at Nan Su's face, and then felt a little relieved.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about my concubine." Nansu smiled and said.
Ying Zheng nodded and said comfortingly: "I have brought you a good medicine to cure you. After you take it, nothing will happen to you again."
"Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty." Nansu's brows widened, filled with joy.
Ying Zheng looked at his brides one by one and said with a smile: "You have worked hard too. Look at you, you are all still wearing hijabs. Come on, I will take them off for you."
Several brides were unable to take off their hijabs, so they kept their heads half-covered, leaving only their faces exposed. Sometimes it falls down and blocks your eyes.
Several brides lowered their heads shyly but did not speak.
Once the hijab is lifted, it means that they have truly become Ying Zheng's women. From then on, they are no longer princesses of a country, but princesses of Qin.
For every woman, at this moment, it is not an exaggeration to call it the top priority in life.
Ying Zheng gently took off Nan Su's hijab, feeling tender and gentle.
Several other ladies also came over. Ying Zheng was so amused that they were silent just now, but in fact, they all couldn't wait.
Ying Zheng took off everyone's hijab one by one and looked at the faces of several angels. He didn't know whether the rosiness on their faces was due to shyness or heavy makeup.
At this moment, they are more beautiful than ever, more beautiful than anyone else.
Ying Zheng admired the beautiful scenery in front of him and seemed to remember this moment in his heart, so much so that the red hijab in his hand fell to the ground without even realizing it.
Hu Yu came over, picked up the hijab, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, the hijab is all dirty."
Ying Zheng finally came back from his happiness, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, opened it and poured out two pills.
"Nansu, do you still remember this?" Ying Zheng said as he handed the Linggu Pill to Nansu.
Nan Su looked at it with wide eyes and said, "Isn't this the red pill that cured the king's patient last time? The king also gave one to each of my concubine and Hu Yu."
"Well, yes, this red pill is called Linggu Pill." Ying Zheng put two Linggu Pills in Nansu's hands and said, "This will also help your disease."
"Really?" Nansu looked at the Linggu Pill carefully, but didn't seem to find anything different from the last one.
He asked this question, but there was no doubt in his heart. Nan Su opened her jade lips and wanted to take it into her mouth.
"Hey, wait." Ying Zheng grabbed Nan Su's hand, "You can't eat it directly."
"Can't you eat it directly?" Nan Su asked a little strangely, "Then how do you eat it?"
"This time, you need to dissolve it with warm spring water and leave it for half a season before you can drink it." Ying Zheng explained.
"Oh, that's right." Nan Su nodded and said obediently, "Then just wait."
At this moment, Zhao Gao walked in carrying a small wooden bucket: "Your Majesty, the spring water is hot."
"Put it down." Ying Zheng raised his hand to indicate, and then asked Zhao Gaodao, "How is it outside?"
Zhao Gao put down the bucket, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, all the ministers are waiting to toast you."
"Haha." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Okay, let me go and have a drink with them."
The banquet has begun. If Ying Zheng doesn't show up, it will be bad after all. Besides, Nan Su is fine and there are ways to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, you should drink less and pay attention to your health." Lan Ting said with concern.
"Yes, Your Majesty, what should we do if you drink too much?"
"Your Majesty, what are your plans for tonight?"
When the ladies heard that Ying Zheng was going to drink, they all started talking.
Only Hu Yu was different from them: "Okay,
When the king went up to accompany the ministers, he also went through the process and didn't drink much. Besides, even if he drank too much, there was nothing wrong with it. "
The ladies stopped talking, but Nansu hid in the bed and snickered.
"Don't worry, I don't drink much." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I still want to save my stomach and come back to drink with the ladies."
"Your Majesty, please go and come back soon." Nansu said.
Ying Zheng nodded and stepped out of the door.
At the banquet, the food and wine had been placed, but we had to wait for Ying Zheng to start the banquet.
Ying Zheng gave a generous speech at the banquet in a royal manner, and also expressed his joy.
The happiest people in the whole wedding ceremony were Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Huayang. They were so happy from the bottom of their hearts that Ying Zheng was getting married. From the beginning to the end, they never closed their mouths.
The princes and ministers also came in groups to congratulate him, and Ying Zheng thanked them one by one.
Those who can come to attend Ying Zheng's wedding are all of high status. They are either princes, nobles, or important officials in the court. They are all prominent figures, so Ying Zheng cannot neglect them.
However, the price for not daring to neglect is to be drunk.
The most interesting thing is that in the second and third watch, Ying Zheng was always holding back the wine. By the end of the drink, he was swaying and could not stand firmly.
Someone helped the second watch and third watch to go down to rest. Meng Tian and Meng Yi stood beside Ying Zheng again, and Li Xin also came over.
The brothers took turns holding back wine for Ying Zheng, and they all fell over themselves after drinking.
The Meng brothers fell down and were replaced by Wang Ben and Ying Cheng. After a while, they were drunk and unconscious again.
It’s not that these young people can’t drink enough, it’s that there are so many people toasting that they can’t drink without drinking.
Li Si couldn't stand it anymore and stood beside Ying Zheng.
A miracle happened. Li Si was like a huge wine vat. No matter how much he poured into it, it would never be full.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si blankly, his heart trembling.
Since I met Li Si, this person is not only knowledgeable and unique, but also calm in situations, accurate in judgment, and also has a certain degree of foresight.
Moreover, from the previous fight with Zhu Jiuyou in Lishan Mountain, it was clear that Li Si's kung fu was very good.
Now, this amount of alcohol has broken everyone's basic understanding. You know, even if ordinary people drink so much water, they can't drink it.
The banquet was finally coming to an end, but Li Si was still sober and relaxed, completely fine. If it weren't for the smell of alcohol, no one would have imagined that he drank so much.
One has to think that so much wine was left somewhere else from Li Si's place.
The banquet is finally over.
The courtiers of various royal families supported each other and returned to their homes one after another. It was also the time for the bridal chamber to be decorated with flowers and candles in the Gucheng Palace.
Ying Zheng secretly called Li Si aside and said softly: "Sir, you drank so much, are you okay?"
"Haha." Li Si smiled, "It doesn't seem like Wei Chen is in trouble."
"It looks like he's fine." Ying Zheng looked Li Si up and down again, and then said, "However, Sir, this amount of alcohol is really shocking to everyone. Even if the people who fell down just now were added together, the amount of wine you drank is Theirs is several times more than that.”
Li Si still had a smile on his face. Although he didn't drink too much, he was somewhat excited: "This is nothing. Your Majesty's drinking capacity is much greater than before."
ah?
yes!
If Li Si hadn't mentioned it, Ying Zheng wouldn't have felt it yet. He drank more wine today than any of the people who fell down. If it was normal, he would have fallen down long ago.
Why is this happening?
Ying Zheng frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something: "Could it be that this amount of alcohol is also related to Ling Gu Dan?"
Ying Zheng doesn't drink much on weekdays, and if he does, it's just a small drink. If it weren't for his wedding today, he wouldn't have known that he drank so much.
During this period, the only difference was that Ying Zheng was taking Linggu Pill.
The same is true for Li Si. Before he met Li Si, he must have taken it frequently.
"The king has indeed guessed it," Li Si said.
"Why does this little pill have so many effects? Sir, please tell me what is going on." Ying Zheng asked urgently.
"Your Majesty, this is not the place to talk." Li Si said, "Let's change places."
Ying Zheng nodded: "Okay."
The monarch and his ministers came to the secret room in the study. Li Si poured two cups of tea and then sat across from Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took out the porcelain vase from his arms, and then
He couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked eagerly: "Sir, there are no outsiders here. What is this Linggu Pill and why does it have so many wonderful effects?"
From bleeding to recognize relatives, to getting rid of the sick, to protecting Nansu's pregnancy, and now it can greatly increase the power of alcohol, if you say that this is just a pill to strengthen your body, even children will not believe it.
Li Si took a sip of tea and then said: "Originally, Master told me that he should tell the king everything within three years, but as for the Linggu Pill, it doesn't hurt to tell the king some things in advance."
"Sir, please speak." Ying Zheng said.
Li Si cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, have you heard that many of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have made elixirs?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "There are indeed some myths and legends about elixir refining, especially the Yellow Emperor who once refined the elixir in Huangshan Mountain. After refining it, he ate the elixir and became an immortal."
"That's right." Li Si said, "In fact, it was this ancient spiritual pill that Huangdi refined."
"What?" Ying Zheng said in shock.
Li Si said unhurriedly: "There are two types of ancient spiritual pills. The one we are putting in front of us now is the primary one. This kind of pill is slightly less pure and can be refined with an ordinary alchemy cauldron." .”
"Sir, you mean... the alchemy cauldron?" Ying Zheng frowned, not knowing whether the guess in his heart was correct.
"That's right. Alchemy requires a furnace cauldron." Li Si said, "And the high-level Linggu Dan is more mellow in potency and richer in color. It is also made using Jiuding."
Ying Zheng: "!!..."
Sure enough, Li Si's words confirmed Ying Zheng's guess. The higher-level Linggu Pill was indeed made with Jiuding.
"As for the Yellow Emperor's ascension to immortality, he also used the Nine Cauldrons to refine high-level ancient spiritual elixirs, and then he was able to achieve creation." Li Si continued, "The difference is that the world's understanding of ascension to immortality is biased."
"What's the deviation?" Ying Zheng wanted to get to the bottom of it this time.
Li Si took another sip of tea and said, "Presumably, Master once said about the origin of our human race."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Senior once said that this was once the territory of the Egg Clan, which was invaded by the ancestors of the Human Clan from outside. Later, after peace talks, the Dragon Clan only allowed those ancestors to place babies with undeveloped brains in Jiuyou. , develop their own civilization from a primitive state."
"So, most of the ancestors of mankind have experienced the development of their intellectual brains." Li Si said, "But these babies have not experienced the development of their intellectual brains, so they developed into the people of this world."
"Sir, what you are saying is that the function of this ancient spiritual pill is to develop the brain?" After many things, Ying Zheng's understanding ability is increasing day by day.
"Exactly." Li Si said, "The so-called Yellow Emperor's ascension to immortality is just the development of his brain. For the predecessors of the kings such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, this is a necessary process. So it means... "
Li Si didn't say what it meant, but Ying Zheng had already guessed it and continued: "It means that I must also develop my brain, so you let me continue to take Linggu Pill."
"Not bad." Li Si smiled.
"What does it mean to develop the brain?" Ying Zheng asked again.
Li Si pointed to his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is a brain in our head, and all the organs in our body are controlled by the brain. But there are many things that are not actively controlled by the brain, for example, You will feel hungry when your stomach is empty, your heartbeat will speed up when running, and you will sweat when you are hot. Those drunkards outside will vomit after drinking too much. These are the body's natural reactions and passive behaviors."
Ying Zheng touched his head and said, "Sir, what you are saying is that if the brain is developed, then these phenomena will disappear?"
"It does not disappear." Li Si shook his head and said, "But it can be controlled as desired. As for the extent, it depends on the development process of the intelligent brain."
Ying Zheng also shook his head, with a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't quite understand.
Li Si also felt that this explanation was really difficult to understand, so he rolled up his sleeves, took out the dagger he carried with him, and made a long gash on his arm.
"Sir, what are you doing?" Ying Zheng didn't understand why Li Si did this and quickly covered Li Si's wound with his hand.
Li Si took Ying Zheng's hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, look carefully at the wound."
Ying Zheng calmed down and took a closer look at Li Si's wounds.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng was stunned on the spot.
I saw that Li Si's wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
