Li Xuanzhen saluted, and offered an exquisite wooden box with both hands: "Your Majesty, after counting the days, the pill from last time should be running out, so I refined it day and night with a few disciples, and rushed Send me another box."

Zhao Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to take it and handed it to the emperor. The emperor looked at his hand and was very happy: "The Taoist priest is really a fairy-like figure, not comparable to those who deceive the world and steal their names. This Guyuan pill is extremely effective. I take it Afterwards, I feel more comfortable physically and mentally, and my spirit is getting stronger day by day, I want to reward you well."

"Don't dare." Li Xuanzhen hurriedly said: "The emperor is the real dragon emperor bestowed by the destiny, and it is Xiaodao's blessing to be able to serve the emperor like a dog and a horse."

"I have always respected Taoism. When I was still in the mansion, I made friends with some famous alchemists. I was particularly interested in your teaching's sayings such as immortality, immortality and immortality." The Guyuan pill refined for me is very helpful for the affairs in the house. After taking it, I don't feel tired even if I face several women overnight. However, what I am thinking about is the first time of the Taoist priest. The longevity pill that I mentioned to me, if the Taoist master can practice this medicine for me, I will make you a master of the country, but all things in the world, as long as you open your mouth, I will offer you."

Li Xuanzhen looked distressed: "Your Majesty, the Longevity Pill is a secret recipe handed down by Xiaodao's grand master. It is the most labor-intensive and requires a lot of rare medicinal materials. No one has refined it for hundreds of years. Although Xiaodao is willing to give it a try for the emperor. , but I’m afraid it won’t happen overnight.”

"Every time I mention this matter, you use these words to perfuse me." The emperor frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure: "What rare medicinal material? Thousand-year-old wild ginseng? Formed Polygonum multiflorum? Tell me, what is it? I can't get it?"

Li Xuanzhen hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, ape ointment and tiger marrow, etc. are self-criticisms for His Majesty, but in addition, you need the liver of a thousand boys, the blood of ten thousand virgins... "

Before the words were finished, the emperor laughed: "Why is this so difficult? You make a list of the things you need for alchemy, and give it to Director Zhao. Within a few months, I will definitely give you everything you want The voice paused, and the smile suddenly faded: "However, with the prestige of Qin Shihuang and the wisdom of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is inevitable that Xu Fu, Luan Da and others will be deceived. The Taoist priest will not treat me like this, right?"

Li Xuanzhen looked calm: "Don't dare. With your majesty's wisdom and wisdom, you have surpassed the Emperor Qin and Han Wu. Who in the world dares to deceive you? Xiaodao is not a third or fourth-rate alchemist like Xu, Luan, etc. If your majesty has any doubts about Xiaodao Xiaodao wishes to bid farewell to His Majesty, and return to the mountains and forests from now on, never to enter the world again."

As he spoke, he raised the fly whisk in his hand, bowed deeply, the emperor stared at him for a while, stood up from the throne, and said with a smile: "Why should the Taoist priest do this? I have already seen your ability. If I have any doubts Heart, how can you treat the Taoist priest as a guest of honor? You just feel free to refine this longevity pill for me, and I will set the noble religion above all religions in the future, so that the noble religion can be carried forward in the hands of the Taoist priest."

"If this is the case, our teaching will be very fortunate." Li Xuanzhen said: "Xiaodao will do his best to refine the elixir for the emperor, but the longevity elixir is the most precious treasure in the world, and it is only a predestined person who can't get it. Please also invite the emperor Don't be too impatient."

"Naturally." The emperor turned to Zhao Cheng'en and said, "Tell them to take down the Ru kiln tea set I chose, and send it to the Taoist master later."

"Yes."

Li Xuanzhen said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. If that's the case, Xiaodao will leave first."

"Go." The emperor nodded: "Zhao Chengen, send the priest out." Zhao Chengen hurriedly replied: "Yes.

"Come down from the emperor's side, and said with a smile: "Please, Taoist priest. "

Li Xuanzhen said: "Don't dare to trouble Mr. Zhao." He bowed and bowed, and exited the hall cautiously.

Zhao Chengen stood on the steps outside the hall, watched Li Xuanzhen leave, but saw Gui Xi from the respect room coming with a silver tray, seeing him, he quickly laughed with him: "Please be in charge, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Chengen looked at the green lottery on the plate, and said with a smile: "Little monkey, take advantage of the emperor's good mood, quickly follow me in."

"Yes."

Gui Xi cautiously followed him into the hall, then knelt down and raised the silver plate above his head: "Please show me, Your Majesty."

As if the emperor had never heard of it, he stretched out his hand and slowly opened the wooden box, took out a red pill and put it in his mouth. The little eunuch next to him quickly offered the ginseng soup. The emperor took a big gulp before letting out a long breath. Zhao Chengen accompanied him with a smile and said: "The emperor has won the real Li, and it is like a god's help. He works hard on state affairs every day, and he still has such a dragon-horse spirit."

"Hmm." The emperor smiled slightly, his eyes swept over the green-headed signs on the plate one by one, and suddenly said: "Why is there still no sign of Concubine Lian on it?"

Zhao Chengen was sweating in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "The imperial doctor said that the current physical and mental condition of Concubine Lian is not suitable for sleeping."

The emperor was slightly annoyed: "How long has it been? It has been said that he is sick. Could it be that the imperial doctors in the palace are a bunch of idiots?"

Zhao Chengen laughed and said: "Concubine Lian has always been delicate and young, so some things are hard to think about. She is depressed all day long, and her illness is difficult to recover. I beg the emperor to have more pity on her."

"I do have the heart to pity her, but I'm afraid she won't accept the favor." The emperor frowned slightly: "I went to see her personally a few times, but her face was always calm. I have already demoted Concubine Min to a commoner, could it be that she still Do you think my treatment is too light, and you deliberately alienate me with illness?"

"Concubine Lian is a smart person, she won't be so ignorant, she's longing for the emperor's favor and it's too late." Zhao Chengen looked at her face, and said tentatively: "The brand name of the newly promoted Tian Guiren was just given today. It came up, last time the emperor said that her dancing posture is more beautiful than the dancers in Neijiaofang, will the emperor call her tonight?"

The emperor thought about it for a while, and his expression softened a little: "Oh, it's her, you forgot if you didn't mention me." Then he reached out and turned over a sign, Gui Xi hurriedly kowtowed, and walked back with the silver plate , Zhao Chengen lowered his eyes and silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Gao Gonggong, go in, the empress is waiting for you." The little palace maid raised the brocade curtain, and a warm fragrance rushed to her face. Gao Xian lowered his head and went in. The chill also dissipated without a trace.Entering the inner bedroom hall, seeing the imperial concubine wearing a half-new apricot-colored satin jacket, drinking tea leaning on the smoked cage, she hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted: "May the empress be well."

"Get up." The imperial concubine put down the teacup, raised her eyes and said, "You must have something important to see me at this time."

"Yes."

Gao Xian stepped forward, bowed his head and whispered something in her ear, the imperial concubine was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Then Li Xuanzhen really said that?"

"It's true."

"Collect the livers of thousands of virgins, gather the blood of thousands of virgins... Hey, what a longevity pill."

Gao Xiandao: "Your Majesty, don't you believe Daoist Li's words?"

"Although I have never met this person, I have heard many times that he is a man of immortal demeanor, with white hair and a childlike face, and that he is a first-class figure. I think that since everyone said so, and the emperor trusts him so much, he must have some Really capable." The imperial concubine said: "But the theory of immortality is always false, I didn't expect the emperor to be obsessed with this matter, and he can't see through it at all."

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that Daoist Li...are you actually deceiving the Lord?"

"Whether to bully the king or not, that will be discussed later."

Gao Xian was stunned: "Everything he said was to embarrass the emperor in order to delay the time. It's just that he underestimated the emperor's determination to seek pills, and he didn't know whose children would be in trouble in the next few days."

The corners of the imperial concubine's mouth sank slightly, she was noncommittal, Gao Xian wanted to say more, but she heard her say: "Everyone around the emperor, you have to work harder and do what they like. There are no big or small things in Changle Palace, so it's easy to inquire about them in the future. Back and forth with me. I already know what happened today, so go down."

Gao Xian hurriedly bowed and said: "Madam, I have one more thing to report."

"Oh?"

"Today, when the respected Fang Jin presented the green lottery, the emperor suddenly asked about Miss Lian..."

Before the words were finished, the imperial concubine stared into his eyes and asked as if confirming: "Is it the nobleman Tian who is summoned by the emperor tonight?"

Gao Xian was puzzled, so he had to answer: "Yes, it is Mr. Tian Gui."

The imperial concubine slowly loosened her grip on the teacup, lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea, Fang said: "Go on, what did he ask Concubine Lian for?"

"The emperor asked why the signboard of the young master Fang Lian has not been seen yet. It is said that the tone is very displeased. Fortunately, Mr. Zhao helped the young master Lian to say a lot of good things, and then brought the topic to the nobleman Tian. Forget it. The slave knows that the empress and the young master Lian are very congenial, but according to the slave, the emperor really misses the young master Lian in his heart, and the young master Lian is sad. This is always missing, and it is not a problem..."

The imperial concubine said: "This is not something you should worry about."

"Yes." Gao Xian peeked at her face, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful: "It's the servant who is talking too much."

The imperial concubine felt a little restless in her heart, and suddenly said: "How long will it take for the beauty from Korea to arrive in Beijing?"

"This..." Gao Xian was stunned, and replied: "This servant has never inquired, but the Emperor's Longevity Festival is just around the corner, and they will be going to Beijing soon."

"Is everything arranged properly for Mei Ji?"

"Don't worry, ma'am, everything is ready."

Imperial Concubine: "If you have to ask, I have already told you before, you tell Mei Ji, don't let me down, and I will not let her down when the time comes."

"The slave understands."

The imperial concubine looked a little impatient: "Okay, you can go rest."

"The slave retire."

Qinzhu raised the curtain and let Gao Xian go out, then came over and changed the hot tea for the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine said: "Did you hear what you said just now?"

"The servant heard it."

"Tell Sang Rong to go to Xiefang Palace tomorrow, and take the following words with you." The imperial concubine thought for a while, and added: "They didn't waste their time on Zhao Chengen, remind them to make up another big gift tomorrow. , if you don’t have enough gold and silver, just come back and forth with me.”

"I'm going to find Aunt Sang Rong right now, do you have any other orders?"

The imperial concubine said: "Also, this fragrance makes people feel bored, you asked someone to exchange for sandalwood."

Qin Zhu was slightly astonished, but hurriedly replied: "Yes, this servant will immediately change the incense."
