Outside Taoyuan, Xue Lingzhi was blocked by several guards despite being exhausted.
"Who is coming?"
"I am a doctor, here to treat the emperor's illness."
"Cure?"
Several people looked at each other and murmured, "I haven't heard that a doctor is coming to treat the emperor today."
Xue Lingzhi continued: "Excuse me, please tell me that Xue Lingzhi has developed a new medicine and please give it to the emperor."
Several guards didn't understand, so they hesitated and finally decided to report it.
At this time, a person came out and said in a cold voice: "Try it? How can the emperor let a young girl like you try it with his rich body?"
An old gentleman stood at the door, looking down at Xue Lingzhi.
"Who are you?" Xue Lingzhi asked politely.
"I am Wu Daozi, and I am here to treat the emperor's illness."
"Has the emperor's illness improved?"
"Of course, with my help, any difficult and complicated diseases are not a problem."
When several guards heard this, they were immediately shocked: "The emperor has finally gotten better?"
Wu Daozi was wearing a Taoist robe and looked like an immortal. He had a straight face, stroking his long beard, and said calmly: "This is natural. The emperor said it himself, and it feels a little soothing."
"As expected, he is an expert outside the world. Recently, the emperor has seen more than a dozen people, if not dozens. He has tried countless prescriptions, but none of them are effective."
"I didn't expect the Taoist Master to be able to calm down the emperor. It seems that someone from the Taoist sect can cure the emperor's strange disease."
Before Xue Lingzhi, Wu Daozi was one step ahead.
Now Xue Lingzhi was a little embarrassed. In order to treat the emperor's illness, she stayed up all night and made an ointment for the emperor according to Lin Wanjie's recipe. Before she tried it, another person came out and said that the emperor had already had it. Significant improvement.
When practicing medicine and treating diseases, you are afraid that two people who are not on the right path will have their own opinions. Now Xue Lingzhi wants to intervene, which is a bit out of order.
However, Xue Lingzhi instinctively felt that things would not be that simple. The other party was the emperor, and any illness that happened to the emperor might be a conspiracy.
Xue Lingzhi was anxious not to perform meritorious service in order to cure the emperor, but just did not want the emperor to be in danger and the world to be in turmoil.
"Little girl, you are no longer needed here. Leave on your own."
Wu Daozi issued an order to expel guests, and Xue Lingzhi had no choice but to take his ointment and walk away.
Wu Daozi looked at Xue Lingzhi's back and snorted disdainfully, then returned to the Taoyuan with a red face.
Emperor Wu was enjoying the scenery in the garden. Emperor Wu felt much more comfortable today, just because of Wu Daozi's bowl of talisman water.
Strangely enough, Emperor Wu himself was not sure whether he had really improved. What was certain was that he was in a good mood today.
When your mood is smooth, everything naturally goes smoothly and you feel much more comfortable.
As for Wu Daozi's talisman water, even Wu Daozi himself is not sure whether it has any effect.
However, Emperor Wu gave all the credit to Wu Daozi.
Seeing Wu Daozi coming, Emperor Wu warmly invited him to the pavilion to talk.
Naturally, it is inevitable to praise the Taoist Master again for his superb medical skills.
The world's martial arts originated from Taoism, and a martial arts fanatic like Emperor Wu also had a good impression of Taoist priests.
I also believe that Taoism hides many capable people and strangers, and maybe even immortals who truly practice and ascend.
As for Wu Daozi, Emperor Wu believed that his talisman played a key role.
Under the small pavilion, Emperor Wu was so happy that he even poured a glass of wine for Wu Daozi himself.
Wu Daozi was flattered. He had traveled around the world for decades and had never received such courtesy. The Taoist method he had studied for many years failed countless times, but he did not expect that it would actually work on the emperor in the end.
This heaven-shaking wealth came to him in a daze.
"The Emperor is so kind and loving, how can a poor man endure it?"
"I am deeply impressed by the Taoist Master's profound teachings. This glass of wine is what the Taoist Master deserves."
Wu Daozi drank the wine in one gulp and said, "Good wine, really good wine! Could it be the legendary Peach Blossom Drunkenness?"
"Oh? The Taoist priest has heard of it too?"
"When I first arrived in Yangzhou a few days ago, everyone was spreading the word that it was just expensive and poor people couldn't afford it..."
Wu Daozi was still a little embarrassed and his face turned red.
Emperor Wu laughed when he heard this: "The Taoist priest is so profound in Taoism, but he is so poor. It seems like he is practicing hard."
"Um...that's what the emperor said."
"Taoist Master, decades of hard training are enough. Are you interested in following me back to Wudu and controlling Feng Shui for Daxia?"
"Ah?" Wu Daozi stared in surprise, not quite understanding.
Emperor Wu said again: "Just to be appointed as the Great Xia Imperial Advisor."
"puff!"
Lin Wang, who was standing aside, choked. This was too outrageous.
This Taoist priest was just randomly found in the city to make up the numbers, at least to make it appear that he was running around every day for the emperor's health.
Who would have thought that this Taoist priest who looked like a magic stick really had some abilities. Emperor Wu, who had never gotten better, actually improved after drinking a bowl of talisman water.
Lin Wang never expected that the bowl of talisman water from the other party would actually make Emperor Wu prepare to make him a national master.
This position has not been appointed for several generations. Although the symbolic significance is greater than the actual power, it is also the highest level on par with the three ministers.
Lin Wang was jealous. He had grown up with Emperor Wu, and now he was only a second-rank minister!
"Your Majesty, Imperial Master, isn't this a bit against the rules?"
"Why is it against the rules?" Emperor Wu asked.
"I think Lin Wanjie wrote the song "Shui Tiao Song Tou". What a talent he was. The emperor didn't immediately appoint him as an official. This Taoist priest..."
"Hmph!" Wu Daozi suddenly snorted coldly, "How can a poem be compared with Pindao's Taoism?"
Emperor Wu laughed and said, "Haha, Taoist priest, you don't have to be angry. Taoism is different from literature. The imperial examination is aimed at literati, but Taoist priests are not among them. You don't have to follow the rules of literati when appointing national teachers. That's it!"
When Wu Daozi heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Lin Wang frowned, and the more he looked, the more fishy he felt.
After Wu Daozi left, he stepped forward and asked for confirmation: "Your Majesty, is the Taoist priest's talisman water really effective?"
Emperor Wu coughed twice, pressed his belly, and said with a smile: "Look, I didn't cough so hard today. It does have some effect."
The hatred in Lin Wang's heart!
After working hard for more than a month, Emperor Wu finally started to have a poisoning reaction. How could he be cured by a Taoist priest?
If Wu Daozi is really capable, he cannot be allowed to stay with the emperor.
Lin Wang thought about whether to kill him directly, but taking action at this time would be too conspicuous.
Maybe it would arouse Emperor Wu's suspicion.
How can we solve Wu Daozi?
Before Lin Wang could figure it out, Emperor Wu suddenly said: "Where is Miss Hongye? I want to hear her sing."
