The emperor was lying on the dragon bed with his upper body bare, and he felt his internal organs as if being burned by a raging fire. He was panting heavily, while four pretty maidens knelt on the ground, holding up their fans, fanning him constantly.Zhao Chengen hurriedly took a large bowl of iced sour plum soup from the little inner eunuch, and brought it to the bed: "Your Majesty, the sour plum soup is here."

Hearing this, the emperor reached out to take it without waiting for others to serve him, and drank half a bowl in one breath. He said hoarsely: "There is no need to prepare tea these few days, I only want this."

"Yes." Zhao Chengen quickly agreed, and then said: "The empress empress, imperial concubine and concubine Li are waiting outside now, waiting to greet the emperor."

The emperor said irritably: "I don't see them, tell them to go back!"

Zhao Chengen didn't dare to say more, so he wanted to go out to pass the decree, and the emperor said again: "Wait a minute, let the imperial concubine come in."

The queen and imperial concubine stood outside the palace waiting for a long time, both of them remained motionless, maintaining a dignified and graceful demeanor, but Concubine Li was extremely impatient.After a while, Zhao Chengen came out slowly, walked up to them and bowed in salute, and said in a sharp voice: "The emperor has a decree, the imperial concubine and empress of Xuanhuang are here to see you."

Before the empress could speak, Concubine Li couldn't bear it first: "The empress is the lord of the palace and the mother of a country. At this time, she should be by the emperor's side. Why didn't the emperor summon the empress, but summon someone else instead?"

Zhao Chengen said with a half-smile: "I have to ask the emperor about the words of Concubine Li. We are slaves, but we don't know anything."

"You!" Concubine Li hit a soft nail and couldn't help but get angry.

Zhao Chengen walked up to the imperial concubine and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, go in quickly."

The imperial concubine bowed slightly to the empress, and stepped into the palace, the empress was furious, but she just snorted from her nostrils, and said to Concubine Li: "Let's go." She led all the maidservants away.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." The imperial concubine walked to the dragon bed and bowed her knees. "Binglun, get up." There was a smile on the emperor's dark and thin face: "I read the report the day before yesterday, the general was planning a strategy, and the Fan soldiers were retreating steadily. Our Yan soldiers have invaded the territory of Tubo. I heard this good news. , I really feel elated, Binglun, your Huo family has made great contributions to Dayan again."

"The concubine doesn't care about these things." The imperial concubine looked at him carefully, and saw that there was a pustules on his back, which looked terrible. A look of worry flashed in her eyes, and she sighed softly: "Your Majesty , when is this, you are still thinking about the government and the military situation, what else in this world can be more important than your dragon body?"

The emperor knew that she was cold and indifferent, but only because of this, the love she showed at this moment was even more touching. The emperor was very happy: "Binglun, it's hard for you to have a sincere heart for me."

The imperial concubine frowned slightly: "I heard that the emperor refuses to let the imperial doctor come in to take the pulse, how can this be done?"

"Those imperial doctors are all useless things, I feel upset just looking at them!" the emperor said, "My illness cannot be cured by them."

The imperial concubine was astonished, and the emperor said: "Binglun, to tell you the truth, I am not sick, I will recover after a while, you don't have to worry, now that the empress is sick, you are in charge of the harem, and you are very sick. Don't worry, you don't have to always think about coming here to say hello to me, I'm fine."

Seeing him like this, the imperial concubine knew it would be useless to talk too much, so she stood up and left after staying for a while, and Zhao Chengen personally sent her out.

Arriving at the outer hall, the imperial concubine stopped and stared at Zhao Cheng'en: "Your Majesty looks like this, I still have to invite the imperial physicians to take a look."

Zhao Chengen looked distressed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you still not know about the Emperor's temperament? Long Yan was furious when he heard the word imperial doctor, and even if this slave has ten thousand courage, he dare not make decisions on his own. ah."

The imperial concubine pondered for a while, and asked: "The emperor said that he is not sick, what does it mean?"

Zhao Chengen quietly glanced inside, and said in a low voice: "Really Li said that the sore on the emperor's back is the effect of taking the elixir, which is to eliminate the poison in the body, and when all the venom flows out, the discomfort will disappear. , the whole body is comfortable, let the emperor bear it for now."

"I see."

Zhao Cheng'en said: "The emperor now only believes in the words of Master Li. The only thing he worries about is whether the elixir from the Western Regions can be found as soon as possible and then delivered to the capital."

"Since the emperor is so convinced, this real Li must be extraordinary." The imperial concubine said: "But I am still a little worried after all."

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, please tell me."

"Has the emperor slept soundly recently?"

"The emperor has been restless lately and can't sleep at night. Last night, Master Li sent another box of pills. It was really miraculous. After taking the medicine for a while, the emperor fell into a deep sleep."

"It means that you can still find a chance to let the imperial doctors go in and have a look, right?"

Zhao Chengen said: "This..."

The imperial concubine said: "If the emperor knows, I will take care of it myself."

"Since Your Majesty says so, I dare not disobey." Zhao Chengen said with a smile, "Your Majesty just go back to the palace and wait for your letter."

As soon as she entered the Qingquan Palace, Li Mao felt weak in her heart. She took a deep breath, stepped into the main hall, and knelt down on the ground a few steps forward: "My minister kowtowed to see the empress."

"Well, here you are."

Li Mao peeked at the imperial concubine and saw that she seemed to have just finished a painting, she was concentrating on admiring it, there was no abnormal expression on her face, she felt a little relieved, and silently waited on her with her hands down.

The imperial concubine thought for a while, and wrote two lines of words on the painting: "The fish play with the new lotus, the birds scatter and the flowers fall." Slowly put down the pen, looked at her and said, "Have you seen the emperor?"

"Yes."

"Do you have a pulse?"

"No." Li Mao was afraid that she would be blamed, so he hurriedly added: "Eunuch Zhao let all the lords and humble ministers in while the emperor was fast asleep, because he was afraid of alarming the holy majesty, not only did he not dare to ask for his pulse, but he just took a look at it. Out."

"Well, what did the imperial doctors say?"

"The adults couldn't see why, and they didn't dare to prescribe the medicine, and Eunuch Zhao also said that there is no need to prescribe a prescription."

"Then look, what do you think?"

At this time, Li Mao had a better understanding, and knew that the attitudes of those respected old imperial doctors were vague. Firstly, because they didn't know the pulse, they didn't want to speculate. She didn't dare to say something different from Li Xuanzhen, so she thought about it and replied softly: "I can't see anything."

"Really?" The imperial concubine said calmly, "Those imperial physicians are all higher in rank than you, do you know why I only arranged for you to go to the emperor's bedroom with them?"

Li Maodao: "I am so grateful for your empress's trust and love for me."

The imperial concubine's eyebrows were condensed: "I trust you so much, but you don't reciprocate with sincerity, so what's the use of keeping you?"

Li Mao's legs softened, and he knelt down again: "Your Majesty..."

The imperial concubine looked at her and said word by word: "I arranged for you to go only because I want to hear the truth from you."

Li Mao stammered: "Weichen...it's not that I don't tell the truth, it's just... I can't be sure." She swallowed nervously, trying to calm herself down: "Some words, Weichen The minister dare not speak."

The imperial concubine's expression softened slightly: "In my palace, you can say anything."

Li Mao hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice: "I have observed carefully, there is iced sour plum soup in the bedroom, and the emperor is wearing tulle, it must be because of the hotness in the body." Having said this, he glanced at the imperial concubine, and saw her slightly Nodded, as if approving, so he boldly continued: "Looking at the emperor's mental complexion and the abscess on his back, I feel that the emperor has been deeply poisoned by fire. Caused by Jindan."

"Oh?" The imperial concubine looked at her: "Go on."

"My minister's wife was also the imperial physician of Xuanzong in the previous dynasty. Xuanzong was obsessed with elixir and died before he was 30 years old. My minister's wife and other imperial physicians were exiled because they failed to cure Xuanzong. He secretly recorded the matter, Xuanzong's symptoms are very...very similar to the current emperor."

The imperial concubine's eyes became sharper: "You mean the emperor is hopeless?"

Li Mao's face turned pale: "My humble minister... my humble minister..."

"Don't be afraid, just tell me what I want to know."

Li Mao's heart was broken, and he said in a low voice: "From the perspective of my humble minister, the emperor is already poisoned to death, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's in danger."

Concubine Li returned to Yonghua Palace, still angry: "There is no slave in this world who does not know how to follow the wind! The Huo family is now in full swing, and even Zhao Chengen, a hateful slave, is vying to curry favor. Really this moment, that moment, before changing, he, the chief eunuch of Changle Palace, would not dare to talk to us like this!"

The queen was very calm: "What do you care about with him, he just acts according to the attitude of the emperor, whoever the emperor values ​​in his heart, he has his eyes on him."

Concubine Li sneered: "The reason why the emperor asked her to go in was because her natal family had made military achievements, and now she has to rely on the Huo family. It's not because she really dotes on her. If she really doted on her, why didn't I see her for so long?"

"I heard that I summoned her once or twice, but she pushed her away on the grounds that she was unwell." The queen took a sip of tea and was silently lost in thought: "I don't know what kind of mind she has in mind."

Concubine Li worriedly said: "Your Majesty, do you think the emperor is fine?"

"We'll know when Tushan comes back to inquire about it." The Queen sighed, then gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty always listens to those Taoist priests, and doesn't care about his body. At night, those beauties are fooling around..."

Concubine Li was taken aback: "You don't think that the emperor will have something wrong, do you?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The queen was a little restless, she stood up and took a few steps: "Oh, I just... just feel a little uneasy these days, I don't know why, if uncle is still in the court Well, it’s not good after being ill for so long.”

Concubine Li said dejectedly: "The chief assistant is old after all, so there is no other way."

"Your majesty is in the prime of his life, so nothing will happen." The queen clenched her fists and said softly, "But at this moment, we have no way of knowing what's going on in Changle Palace. With heavy soldiers in hand, if something happens, it will be terrible!"

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she stopped suddenly: "No! We have to send someone to see Uncle. No matter what, we must ask him to struggle to return to the court to preside over the overall situation. Even if he really can't come back, he must come forward Contact the rest of the cabinet, let's come up with an idea together!"
