The hall was so silent at this moment that only the banging of kowtows could be heard. The emperor looked at Ma Shunde, who had already kowtowed to blood, and said coldly with no expression: "Okay, get out of the way!"
"From now on, if I don't tell you, you, my slave, are not allowed to turn over my papers and documents!"
"Thank you, slave!" Ma Shunde breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly climbed up to stand further away. His forehead was covered in blood and he couldn't care less. He only felt like he was surviving the disaster.
The old emperor closed his eyes and seemed to be in a state of silence. Everyone did not dare to speak and only looked at the emperor quietly with their peripheral vision.
I have to say that this year, the emperor has become thinner and thinner, and his face is full of wrinkles, which shows that he is really old. However, the emperor ignores these things. His Adam's apple moved and he was already drowsy, but he couldn't sleep. He was in a trance. , the emperor seemed to stand up and want to take a walk to relax, so he stayed down and went out, but it was not as if he was in the palace, and he returned to his palace in a trance.
A very familiar garden. As I walked along the corridor and past the rockery pond, I heard someone reading in the distance, and the voice was very familiar.
When he got closer, he saw the prince. He was fifteen or sixteen years old. His eyes were as long as paint. He was reading. When he listened carefully, he frowned and called him over quickly.
"What kind of book have you read? How come that once you re-enter the imperial palace, all the branches are still there? These prophecies, talking about luck and destiny, are really worth killing. You are the prince, you should discard them all. yes."
"Yes, Father..." The prince looked a little gloomy, but he still asked: "Well, Father, don't you believe in the number of days?"
"The number is in the sky. My father, Taizu Emperor Gao, accepted the destiny and swept across the world with his three-foot sword to establish our Dazheng. But the number is in the sky, how can it be seen by people? You can't read this book without passing it. Read again.”
Seeing the prince lowering his head, the emperor added: "Besides, when I, the great Zheng, founded my country, the sun rose in the east, my donations were not heavy, and my career was prosperous. No matter which direction I took, it was always an uphill road. As long as you and I, father and son, are cautious, At heart, if you respect Heaven and the Patriarch, work diligently and love the people, what do you have to worry about?"
"Your Majesty's words are really lofty. I admire you." At this time, someone interrupted, and it turned out to be a Taoist. He came from Yusi, wearing high-toothed wooden clogs, with big sleeves fluttering, and walking calmly. He really looked like he was floating away from the world. .
In a daze, he asked: "Huaihui, why are you here, still wearing Taoist uniform?"
Taoist Huaihui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that I am refining elixirs for you. Although Your Majesty inherits the throne, there are no holidays in the sky. How can you work hard to create a great and prosperous age?"
"Therefore, Your Majesty has an edict, and I should do my best."
The emperor was thoughtful and seemed to remember that Dazheng founded the country, Tongshan watched Fulongting, and Huaihui brought seven brothers here. As a result, all seven of them died in the battle. It was a heavy sacrifice. He sighed at the moment: "You are so loyal." , I remember."
In a daze, the sun shone into the inner hall, and he and Huaihui sat across from each other. Huaihui then offered a pill, which was as red as blood.
The emperor coughed a few times and looked carefully: "Can this pill really work?"
"Your Majesty, you should know best whether Chen's Pill is effective or not." Huaihui said with a smile.
Yes, it is precisely because he is so clear, knows the power of this Taoist, and knows the power of Tongshan Temple, that is why he is both trusting and jealous, not knowing whether his expectations are true or false.
If it is true, then your body will get better as soon as possible, your life span will be extended, and you will be able to work hard to create an unprecedented prosperous world.
I was really unwilling to give in. I finally won the crown prince and succeeded to the throne after my father died, but he only had one or two years to live.
"If he collapsed within three years, wouldn't he be the Young Emperor?"
The so-called young emperor has three meanings. One is the young emperor who has newly ascended the throne; the other is "the one who is deposed by the emperor, he is called the young emperor"; the third is the person who has been on the throne for less than three years.
"But this person can change my life, why can't I change my life? If it works, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this person."
After thinking about it, Huaihui said: "Your Majesty, please take medicine."
Passing the medicine and water over, the emperor took it, but took it in one gulp. The cup was thrown aside. The emperor thought about the taste and frowned: "This medicine..."
"emperor?"
"This medicine seems to taste a bit fishy..." the emperor said, and it still smells a bit smelly.
"Hehe, because this elixir was transformed from the heart of my son." Suddenly, the prince saw the prince again in the palace, saying these inexplicable words.
The emperor looked very ugly and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Just as he said that, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old prince in front of him came over step by step. His robe was originally clean, but as he got closer and closer, blood stains appeared on the prince's body.
Eyes similar to those of the emperor stared closely, and he opened his chest with a smile: "Look, this is my heart."
At a glance, the chest is empty, the heart has been taken out.
In panic, the emperor retreated continuously, kicked over the table, and called out: "Come here, come here, Huaihui, come and save me."
In a blink of an eye, he saw Taoist Huaihui with disheveled hair, his originally handsome face turned pale, and his orifices were bleeding, staring straight at him.
"ah……"
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!" A faint cry came, and he suddenly opened his eyes, only to see the sun shining in, the eunuchs were lit with fragrance, and the eunuch stood with his hands lowered.
The emperor raised his eyelids and looked at Yu Qianzhi and Eunuch Zhao who were close at hand. Their faces alternated with those of the people in his memory, and they quickly took up their positions. Only then did he realize that he was now twenty years later. .
"Your Majesty, you are feeling a little excited and having a nightmare." Yu Qianzhi bowed and said, "Just now the imperial doctor checked your pulse, there was only a slight fluctuation and it has nothing to do with your body. You can rest a little and you'll be fine. "
"Really?" The emperor squinted his eyes. He was indeed awake now. Unlike in his dream, when he took the medicine, there was no prince at all. The prince was already dead.
And this medicine is not in the name of Great Return Pill, but an ordinary Evergreen Pill.
At that time, I was reviewing the memorial, but I couldn't stop the itching in my throat, so I said, "Bring me some medicine."
Huaihui said: "It's too troublesome to ask people for help. Let the poor Taoist serve the emperor and give you medicine."
After saying that, he got up and went to get the medicine. The medicine he used was from the emperor's bottle. At that time, he didn't feel any fishy smell. He just felt that the medicine tasted a bit more bitter than before.
Since then, my health has gradually improved.
Now that I think about it, could it be that Huaihui changed the medicine when he went to get it, and what he gave was actually the Great Return Pill, or the Great Return Pill made with the heart of the prince?
No wonder I felt disgusted with Huaihui at that time, and soon I found a reason to kill this person!
"If you want to extend your life, you can only take advantage of your natural life."
The emperor recalled what was written on the last page of the booklet. The memory immediately made him realize the authenticity of the content of the booklet.
"So that's it, that's it, Prince, Prince, I understand, I understand... Huaihui, you actually dare to deceive me! You actually dare to deceive me!"
The emperor murmured. Just when Yu Qianzhi, Eunuch Zhao, and Ma Shunde were surprised and suspected that the emperor was still a little distracted, the emperor had returned to his normal state and said: "Send the order to summon Liu Zhan, Chen Yuanhe, and Huo Wuyong, come here!"
