I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Before returning to Xijing, someone received a message from Xue Wen, saying that His Majesty has become more and more energetic since the New Year's Eve family dinner, and the frequency of summoning him has been reduced from once a day to once every three days.

It was fine a few days ago, but when he checked his pulse today, he discovered something strange. His Majesty was in good spirits when he first saw him, but he yawned several times while drinking tea. That's all. His body, which had been slightly improved in the early stage, has also shown signs of decline. It seems that he has taken some kind of tiger-wolf medicine that can stimulate vitality in a short period of time, which has greatly damaged His Majesty's foundation. , I am afraid that if he continues, his body will not be able to survive for two months.

He had already received a summons from Mr. Mo before. Although he did not dare to ask directly, he did politely ask for His Majesty's recent meals and medication list, but he did not find anything wrong.

But when he asked more questions, His Majesty suddenly dropped the tea cup and walked away, and he, the culprit who angered His Majesty, was also placed under house arrest.

"So Tianzi Camp has not found out the location of the 'Elixir of Immortality' until now." Mr. Mo frowned and coughed a few more times.

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to this medicine. Since Huo Yu entered the palace that night, no one has been seen again. Everyone who served that night except Nie Xi was silenced." Wei Ying knelt in the car and said.

"Enable Tianyi. Tell her to find out where this medicine is and destroy it at all costs."

"Sir?" Wei Ying raised his head in astonishment: "Didn't you say that you would never use Tianyi unless it was a matter of life and death?"

Mr. Mo's eyes were distant and cold: "You still don't understand? Now, it's a matter of life and death."

late at night. Candles have been extinguished everywhere in Weiyang Palace, but the Chengming Hall where the emperor is is still brightly lit.

Since Your Majesty took the longevity medicine, his energy has improved significantly, but Nie Xi has a hidden worry in his heart.

For some reason, His Majesty seems to be taking medicine more frequently in recent days. At first, he only took it once a day, but in the past two days, it has doubled. Between the two doses, he also yawned and cried uncontrollably.

Your Majesty has always paid attention to image. Since then, let alone facing ministers and concubines, he has never relaxed even when he is alone. When has he looked so imageless?

It's a pity that Doctor Xue, no matter how good his medical skills are, will probably lose his life because of this.

I just hope that the medicine is like what Weng Guimi said. After taking the whole box, you will have the effect of lasting vision.

Otherwise... Nie Xi shuddered slightly and did not dare to think about it anymore.

He took a large robe embroidered with sun, moon, mountains and river patterns and put it on Yu Heng.

It was Shen Shi who had just taken the elixir for the second time. Although he had stayed up late, Yu Heng still felt energetic and naturally in a good mood.

To the old man who had served him for decades, he wanted to show a rare favor to him.

"I heard that your adopted grandson is now enlightened to study?"

"To answer your Majesty, the child is naughty and only knows a few words." Nie Xi answered extremely cautiously.

"It doesn't matter." Yu Heng puffed up his sleeves and said, "When he gets a few years older, let him be Xuan'er's companion. Although I will live a thousand years longer, you can't have your cake and eat it too. He also knows it. When the time comes, the world will still be his, and I will just go and travel around the world - as long as your grandson stays safe, he can enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of his life."

This is the emperor's promise. Mr. Nie Xi burst into tears and knelt down on the ground to thank him.

At this moment, the palace door suddenly opened a narrow crack, and the chamberlain guarding the door poked his head in. He originally wanted to ask Nie Xi for advice, but he didn't expect to meet Yu Heng's eyes.

"What are you doing sneakily?" He said angrily: "Come in and answer."

The chamberlain knelt down as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't dare to hum and just looked at Nie Xi.

The latter was so angry that he jumped up quickly and kicked him hard: "Your Majesty, if you don't answer your questions well, let's see what I do!"

The eunuch then said cautiously: "Simei from Lan Linshe was seriously ill, and her maid ran out for no apparent reason, so she knelt in front of the palace and begged, please go and see her... ....”

The hall fell into a deathly silence. Nie Xi didn't expect that it would be about that person. He couldn't help but take a peek at Yu Heng's expression. Seeing that his expression was very cold and solemn, and there was a thick cloud in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel shocked and quickly spoke first:

"Although Simei is confined to Lanlin House, she is still His Majesty's person. Since she is sick, I asked a doctor to take a look at her. She will never come to seek His Majesty's reason."

"Yes, I'm going to ask the doctor now." The chamberlain didn't even dare to raise his head, he just bowed and wanted to fall out of the palace.

A figure strode out from in front of Nie Xi, and the end of a large black coat embroidered with sun, moon, mountain and river patterns brushed against the tip of his nose, feeling cold to the touch.

Nie Xi sighed and followed Yu Heng resignedly. All the disputes between the beautiful lady and His Majesty in the past flooded into his mind, giving him a headache.

I just hope that person has really thought clearly and will not continue to cause trouble with His Majesty like this.

The next day, Simeiren, who had been banned for several years, returned to favor and moved from Lanlin House, which was like a cold palace, to Zhaoyang House, which shocked countless people.

Mrs. Li, who lives in Pixiang House, smashed all the porcelain ornaments in the room and even broke three of her long nails.

Zhaoyang House is the first of the eight houses where the concubines live in the Weiyang Palace. It has a bright red courtyard, white jade steps, and walls all made of gold. It is also decorated with blue field jade, pearls and green feathers. It is extremely gorgeous, as it has always been. The residence of the beloved concubine.

The eighth prince's biological mother, Wang Meiren, lived here when she was in great favor.

"She is just a low-status vixen. I have long said that she is just putting on a cold front and saying that she doesn't want to enter the palace is just playing hard to get. As expected, His Majesty still can't let go!"

The female envoys who served her knelt on the ground: "Madam, please calm down and be careful what you say!"

The anger in Mrs. Li's heart turned to sadness when she thought that her son had been expelled from Xijing before the end of the year, and that the fiefdom was still Ruyang, which had just been uprooted for treason.

She stood stunned for a long time and then said, "Prepare a gift for me. I will go to Zhaoyang House in person later."

Naturally, Luo Qianhuai didn't know what was going on in the palace. There were not many patients in the first month, and it was enough to have the two of them, Divine Doctor Mei and Wen Pu. She would go to the Zhou Mansion every day to diagnose and treat Zhou Xiaolangjun. After returning, she would give Tan Fei and the Yan brothers and sisters systematic classes. The rest of the time I spent all my time writing the book "Compendium of Materia Medica" from memory, and my life was very fulfilling.

That is to say, occasionally before going to bed, Mr. Mo's face suddenly flashes in my mind. Counting the days, I haven't seen him since the last time we separated. Even for such a big event as the opening of Ji'antang, there was no movement from the other party, and he didn't even send a congratulatory gift. It was really weird.

But thinking about it from another perspective, this Ji'antang was originally invested and opened by Mr. Mo. There is no reason for the boss to give him a congratulatory gift.

Mr. Mo should be a very conceited person, so after hearing his clear rejection, he would naturally stop entangled. She had already thought about this clearly, so the slight loneliness in her heart was probably just because she lost a friend of the opposite sex with outstanding color, right?
