Eunuch Zhao thought for a while and said tentatively: "Do you remember, your Majesty, there seems to be a treasure box in your private treasury, and when you open it, there will be music?"
"There is such a thing." The emperor thought about it for a moment: "This was given to me by a minister on my birthday a few years ago. He said it was a treasure made by two generations of skilled craftsmen. It is quite interesting. Well, this treasure box is indeed Suitable for Xinping."
"On second thought, what else?"
Eunuch Zhao added: "I remember, last year, the princess seemed to have mentioned that she wanted a set of pearl shirts in the book, because it would take at least hundreds of days to make. Later, the princess forgot about it. It must have been gone by now." It’s ready-to-wear.”
The emperor's expression became more and more relaxed, and he nodded with a smile: "You old slave, you have a good memory. Yes, after your reminder, I also remembered this matter. You will send someone to ask after a while to see if the pearl shirt is It’s done, it’s done, and it will be sent to Xinpingguan together.”
"Yes!" Eunuch Zhao responded respectfully, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the emperor's happy face.
These days, the emperor is rarely so happy.
At this moment, there were footsteps again. Eunuch Zhao frowned and saw a eunuch coming in to report: "Your Majesty, Huo Wuyong wants to see you."
At this time, Huo Wuyong asked for a meeting?
The hearts of all the masters and servants in the palace were moved. Although the emperor had been somewhat dissatisfied with Huo Wuyong recently, this person was refining the Great Return Pill for himself. Even if it had not been officially refined, he was still an important person. Even if the emperor did not want to see ordinary ministers. , and will not miss him.
"Preach my will, unlock the palace door, and let him in."
When he said this, his originally good mood was affected, or he asked for a meeting in a hurry at this time, which made the emperor feel that something might have happened.
Eunuch Zhao did not go out immediately, but stepped aside.
After a while, Huo Wuyong walked in quickly with a look of embarrassment. As soon as he came in and saw each other, the emperor, who was already feeling uneasy, was a little nervous.
Is there really something wrong with refining the Great Return Pill?
"Your Majesty, I am guilty of death!" With a pop, Huo Wuyong, who looked embarrassed, knelt on the ground and said in a hoarse voice.
Eunuch Zhao also had a sudden thought. He glanced at the emperor secretly and found that the emperor's face suddenly turned pale.
"Huo Wuyong, tell me quickly, what happened?" When the emperor saw him like that, he knew that something was wrong. There was no need to ask now. It must be related to the Great Return Pill, but the emperor still held on with a weak hope. Hope, He asked, hoping things wouldn't be too bad.
Huo Wuyong didn't dare to raise his head and said: "Just now, a big demon entered the capital and broke into Wanchun Garden. He destroyed all the medicine stores for refining the Great Return Pill and some of the medicine stores for refining the Small Return Pill. Yes! Your Majesty! I am guilty!"
"What?" This news brought too much excitement to the emperor. Holding his chest, the emperor felt that it was difficult to breathe for a moment.
Eunuch Zhao saw him at the side, and his expression changed: "Your Majesty!"
With almost quick hands and eyes, he rushed over and managed to hold the emperor who stood up suddenly and then leaned back.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" He found that the emperor's face was sallow and his eyes were closed. All the eunuchs serving in the palace were frightened to death. Eunuch Zhao turned around and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and call the imperial doctor!"
Then he ignored those who ran out and took out a small white jade porcelain bottle from his arms. In front of several people in the palace, he first removed the stopper and took a sip before giving it to the emperor.
This is a rule in the palace. People like the emperor may not be so nervous when eating fruits. All medicines that are taken into the mouth need to be tested by someone first.
There wasn't much potion to pour in. In desperation, Eunuch Zhao had to use some tricks to open a crack in the emperor's clenched teeth and forcefully pour it in little by little.
Seeing the emperor swallowing subconsciously and his expression turning slightly, Eunuch Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Several imperial doctors with the best medical skills came the fastest and arrived a moment later. They took the pulse carefully and checked carefully, all with solemn expressions.
"Did you use a secret medicine?" They vaguely knew that the emperor's body had always seemed healthy due to the use of Xiaohuan Dan. Several imperial doctors took a pulse at this time and found out that the emperor's physical condition was such that he could only rely on this medicine to survive. The level is even worse than it was a few months ago.
They did not dare to tell the results of the pulse examination easily. They only looked at each other and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor will wake up in a quarter of an hour at the latest."
After all, a potion that is almost as effective as Xiao Huan Dan will work faster if you drink it. You can wake up in a quarter of an hour.
Eunuch Zhao saw that they all looked pale and felt annoyed, so he waved them away to wait outside.
He stayed by the emperor's side for a long time, and with a slight cough, the emperor woke up.
"Where's the person...the person?" Weakly coughing, the emperor struggled to get up.
Eunuch Zhao could only help him sit up. The emperor's face was sallow, but he was still thinking about what he had just heard. Seeing that this was no longer where he was just now, he said, "Let, let Huo Wuyong come in!"
"Your Majesty, your body..."
"Let him in!" the emperor insisted.
Eunuch Zhao had no choice but to wink at a eunuch not far away. The eunuch immediately walked out quietly. After a while, Huo Wuyong walked to the side hall and knelt down again.
Sitting on the couch, staring fiercely at the embarrassed Taoist, the emperor slowly ordered: "Continue to talk about what you just said."
Huo Wuyong had no choice but to continue what he had just said and reported the incident carefully.
"Damn it...damn it! Damn it!"
After taking a few breaths and feeling dizzy, the emperor didn't want to waste any more energy and gave the order directly.
"According to my word of mouth, immediately mobilize the Taoist sect and the imperial bodyguards, and make every effort to track down the big demon who broke into Wanchun Garden without any mistakes!"
"Immediately check the three kings and the whereabouts of Duke Dai!"
Eunuch Zhao was about to respond, but was stopped by the emperor's look. The emperor stared at the Taoist kneeling on the ground with a sinister look: "The medicine cache was destroyed, and you can't escape the blame. This is a capital crime, but I hope you can make elixirs for me." After many years, I will give you a chance!"
"These two things are actually one thing. You are responsible for it, and you will be considered guilty and meritorious!"
"I will definitely handle this matter!" Huo Wuyong said, kneeling down.
He was also furious in his heart. If what happened this time was really considered, not only himself, but also his disciples and his elders would all be blamed. This was a great hatred that would cost him his life and end this lineage of Taoism!
Although it was the big demon who entered the capital that committed the crime, it was precisely because of this that he wanted to pursue it, take revenge, and capture it so that he could be freed from the crime!
What's more, he had already injured it when he was in Wanchun Garden. This grudge has been forged, and the demonic nature will definitely avenge it. If he doesn't take advantage of the demon's illness to kill the demon, and wait for it to recover, it will be a serious disaster for him.
Huo Wuyong gritted his teeth and slowly retreated.
