On the path leading to the imperial study, imperial physician Zhao Huichun walked in a hurry, with a look of anxiety on his face.
As an ordinary physician at the imperial hospital, he was on duty in the palace today, and then he received an order from the Queen Mother, asking him to go to the imperial study room to listen to the emperor's orders.
Could it be that the emperor is ill?
Although he is just a young imperial doctor, he also knows the current situation in the court. The current emperor is just a puppet at the mercy of others, a puppet in the palm of the nine thousand-year-old Enhai.
What I got now is the order from the Queen Mother, but I don’t know what the Chief of Ceremony means? Should it be treated or not?
Things in this palace are not as simple as they seem on the surface. If the patient is not cured, he will be decapitated, and if he is cured, he will probably be decapitated.
Just as I was thinking wildly, I had arrived in the courtyard outside the imperial study room. The little eunuch leading the way stood still. A eunuch in purple at the door turned his head. It was Gou Zhong, the emperor's daily eunuch.
"Doctor Zhao, you came quickly enough." Gou Zhong said expressionlessly.
Zhao Huichun hurriedly followed the smiling face, took a step forward, quietly took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Gou Zhong's sleeve, and whispered:
"Eunuch Gou Wan'an, I made fun of you, I made fun of you..."
Gou Zhong weighed the money and said with a smile on his face:
"The emperor wants to refine the elixir, so you can help him and teach you to be good. You can add whatever medicinal materials the emperor asks you to add. You can let the emperor take whatever elixir he wants to take. Don't say anything more. Do you understand? ?”
Alchemy?
Zhao Huichun suddenly remembered that the emperor had asked someone to make an elixir some time ago. After taking it, he became seriously ill and almost died. He did not expect that he would come back soon.
I couldn't help complaining in my heart, if the emperor really ate to death, then he, the imperial doctor, would also be finished.
As if aware of Zhao Huichun's thoughts, Gou Zhong said lightly:
"Nine Thousand Years Old means that we, the slaves, have no right to stop what the Emperor wants to do. Everything is the Emperor's will. Do you understand?"
Zhao Huichun felt something unexpected in his heart and nodded quickly:
"I understand, I understand, thank you Eunuch Gou for the pointer."
Enhai wants the little emperor to die!
"go in."
Zhao Huichun then quickly carried the medical box into the imperial study room.
In the dim imperial study room, the emperor was sitting on the floor. In front of him was an antique alchemy furnace, glowing with a faint purple-gold light. There were also some charcoal and fire oil and other things beside it. Plates of medicinal materials were arranged on the left and right, exuding a faint glow. Strong medicinal aroma.
As an imperial physician with excellent medical skills, he could already recognize Zhao Huichun just by looking at him. These medicinal materials were all great medicines in the inner treasury. They had at least a hundred years of medicinal properties. They were all precious medicines accumulated by past dynasties.
Many medicinal materials can kill someone with just a few whiskers, and they are not available on the market even if they want to buy them. However, the medicinal properties are so strong that if they are not prepared properly, they can be compared with poisons.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Huichun, meets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Zhao Huichun knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor in front of him.
Although he knew that the other party was just a puppet in Enhai's hands and had no real power, the awe of the Li Dynasty royal family engraved in his bones still made him dare not be disrespectful at all.
Seeing Zhao Huichun appear, Li Yun smiled slightly and said:
"Mr. Zhao is in peace. Now that you are busy, let's get started."
Zhao Huichun stood up quickly and said:
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, I dare not..."
He had very little contact with Emperor Shunlong. When he heard the other person's words and felt his friendly attitude, he suddenly felt that the rumors about the emperor being cowardly, timid and incompetent did not seem to be so accurate...
Li Yun pointed to the medicinal materials on the ground and said:
"Mr. Zhao will take me to identify these medicinal materials first."
Since you want to make an elixir, you must first understand the medicinal materials, otherwise you will not be able to do it yourself in the future.
Zhao Huichun quickly stepped forward and said:
"Back to the emperor, this is Yunshan wild ginseng that is 200 years old, Polygonum multiflorum that is 300 years old, Tianshan snow lotus, Dongzhu from the deep sea..."
After counting all the rare and precious medicines in detail, Zhao Huichun did not forget to remind them of their properties. For most people, every medicine as big as a fingernail would be too much.
After everything was counted, Li Yun nodded, stood up and sat on the chair, and said to Zhao Huichun:
"Raise the furnace, light the fire, and start refining the elixir."
Zhao Huichun quickly arranged for the internal supervisors who were on standby to go up to the stove and light the fire.
Menial tasks such as lighting fires and grinding medicine were naturally done by eunuchs.
And according to the medical system of this world, eunuchs are people who have deficient yang and cause yin, and the fire they light is the best elixir fire.
Li Yun looked at the burning pill furnace and said:
"Three hundred years of Polygonum multiflorum...three liang."
Hearing this, Zhao Huichun couldn't help but his eyelids twitched.
This stuff has huge medicinal properties, let alone three taels or one penny can kill someone!
Just thinking of Gou Zhong's warning, he had no choice but to instruct the eunuch to grind the medicine and prepare it.
"Ten pearls from the East China Sea."
Precious pearls the size of grapes were put into the medicine mortar and crushed.
"Lead and mercury, one or two each."
"One hundred years of northern ginseng, fifty years of soaking in osmanthus and silver dragon wine..."
There are many elixirs in the Hunyuan Wuji Haotian God's Gong to Rule the Four Seas and Ten Thousand Directions. Li Yun had never even heard of most of the medicinal materials used, and he suspected that they were not mortal things at all.
Fortunately, among the relatively low-level body refining pill recipes, although the medicinal materials used in the most basic recipes are rare, there are still some in the palace treasury.
Under Li Yun's command, all the medicinal materials were prepared. At this time, the alchemy furnace was already burning red. The medicinal materials were mixed and processed in different categories and marked with numbers. Seeing that they were all prepared, Li Yun's expression became solemn and he looked at Zhao Huichun said:
"Prepare to administer the medicine."
Zhao Huichun nodded quickly and came to the alchemy furnace with a jade shovel in his hand.
"Three doses of medicine."
Li Yundao.
Three parts of lead and mercury are immediately put into the furnace.
"Two doses of medicine B."
"One dose of C medicine."
"Man……"
Ingredients were put into the furnace one by one, and a strange medicinal fragrance emanated from the alchemy furnace.
After all the medicinal materials were put in and the fire was adjusted to the best condition, Li Yun closed his eyes to rest and stopped talking.
As an imperial physician, Zhao Huichun knew medical science, and at this time he already understood that the little emperor was completely nonsense.
The many medicinal materials put in are not only the medicine of tiger and wolf, the medicinal properties are strong, but most of the medicinal properties conflict with each other. It is not an exaggeration to say that the thing produced is a strange poison in the world.
It's a pity that there are so many good medicinal materials...
At this time, the rumors about the emperor's incompetence seemed to be confirmed again.
The medicinal materials in the furnace were tormenting each other, making crackling sounds, and the smoke even knocked out the two young eunuchs who were serving the fire.
After almost a meal, the emperor, who was closing his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and said lightly:
"Withdraw the fire and release the elixir."
In the temporary oven, pieces of animal charcoal from the northwest were removed, revealing the red pill furnace inside.
Covering him with a wet quilt, bursts of water mist rose up, filling the entire imperial study with a fairy atmosphere.
When the alchemy furnace cooled down slightly, the furnace door was opened, and Zhao Huichun immediately saw seven round longan-sized elixirs in the furnace.
It seems that the metal substances such as lead and mercury melted and absorbed all the other medicinal materials, forming the round shape of the elixir.
Just looking at the dark and eerie purple-gold color above, you can understand how toxic this thing is!
Just smelling it made Zhao Huichun feel dizzy.
It's a pity that there are so many medicinal materials...
While thinking about it, he used a jade shovel to take out these elixirs and put them in a jade plate.
As soon as they were put away, the little emperor happily grabbed the pills, picked one up and looked at it carefully before putting it in his mouth.
Zhao Huichun could not help but be shocked.
So delicious! ?
