Shangxian Cultivation Handbook

Ever since a wave of imperial physicians swept across that day, Song's staff hadn't been to the imperial study for a long time, and they couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Today he deliberately found an opportunity to ask Shen Yuan, but Shen Yuan was stunned.

"Ah, this matter?" Shen Yuan frowned, "This is not a secret, the main reason why His Majesty was not chosen as the crown prince was because of this matter."

Song Nanchu raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Back then, the late emperor had just ascended the throne, and your majesty was only at the age of tying his hair. There were remnants of the previous dynasty who wanted to harm the late emperor and fed poison to the late emperor. At that time, by accident, the poisoned wine was drunk by the majesty, and he has been severely poisoned since then. "Shen Yuan's explanation was not very complete, but at least he told the cause.

Song Nanchu rubbed his chin and asked, "Is it possible that this poison cannot be cured? Or... Your Majesty is not living long and that's why he didn't sit on the crown prince?"

"It's close to ten." Shen Yuan nodded, "The poison is very difficult to cure, and it occurs once a year, not from time to time. According to the Wan Tai doctor at the time, His Majesty only has ten years left."

"Ten years?" Song Nanchu pursed her lips and calculated, "There are...five years."

"This is still a good situation." Shen Yuan sighed, then shook his head and asked, "Since when did you pay attention to this matter?"

Song Nanchu suddenly looked at Shen Yuan, hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth: "Wen Tan, have you ever thought about it. Five years later, Gu Zhiyuan will go, who will come in this world?"

This question was too sudden, Shen Yuan never thought about it.

"Of course it's His Majesty's prince..." He was also stunned halfway through speaking.Gu Zhiyuan also had many concubines, but so far they have none, and the position of empress has been vacant until now.If His Majesty really dies after five years, then the throne...

He raised his head to look at Song Nanchu, Song Nanchu smiled suddenly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I look at the emperor, I'm afraid someone has already chosen in my heart."

This time, he was right.

Gu Zhiyuan, who was lying on the bed, persistently took a book, thinking not to waste time on the bed.After a while, he put down the book and asked Eunuch Zheng: "Xiao Zhengzi, do you have any news from Du Sheng?"

"Not at all." Eunuch Zheng, who was on the sidelines, said hastily.

"This person, I asked him to go to the disaster relief, but he is lucky, he hasn't heard from him for several months." Gu Zhiyuan put down the book in his hand, thought for a while, and then said, "Call me the Song staff."

Eunuch Zheng responded, bent over and walked out the door backwards.

He has served Gu Zhiyuan for 20 years, since Gu Zhiyuan was born until now, he has never fallen behind, and he has never seen Gu Zhiyuan treat a person like this.In the past, if Gu Zhiyuan was ill, he definitely would not take the initiative to call someone to come to him.No, Shen Yuan was also sent away.Now he wants to summon Song Nanchu, which shows how important this Song Nanchu is.

He saw that Song Nanchu was not a wonderful person, but he had a better appearance and a more flexible head, but he should not be a flatterer no matter what.To put it bluntly, he shouldn't be someone who serves the king.

The road is still long.He is old and can't see clearly, but his heart is like a mirror, knowing that this road will not end.

After half a stick of incense, Song Nanchu followed Eunuch Zheng into the Zichen Palace leisurely.As soon as you walk in, your whole body feels warm.It can be seen that the place where the emperor lives is different from other places. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, which makes people jealous.

"It took me a long time this way." Gu Zhiyuan propped himself up, took the overcoat handed over by the maidservant and put it on his body, "Let me wait."

"The old slave's footsteps are a bit slower, but it's not Mr. Song who is slow." Eunuch Zheng accompanied him with a smile.

Song Nanchu glanced at Eunuch Zheng, coughed, walked forward a few more steps, and also smiled: "It's winter, and people are panic-stricken. Your Majesty is in a hurry?"

"You two are fine, both of you are looking for reasons, I'm just saying it casually." Gu Zhiyuan raised his heavy eyelids, "Let's all step back."

Eunuch Zheng said "yes" repeatedly, and led a group of people out.Song Nanchu was left alone in Zichen Palace.

"Your Majesty is so weak, he really answered the phrase 'Sick Xishi'." After Song Nanchu heard the news that Gu Zhiyuan was alive soon, he became a little more courageous, and dared to tease the emperor when there was no one around.

"It seems that you know everything." Gu Zhiyuan smiled, but when he was ill, even his smile had a miserable look on it, "You are so courageous, you even dare to talk to me like this."

Song Nanchu was far away, and he was not afraid that Gu Zhiyuan, who was ill, would jump up and scratch himself, and his words were not serious or serious: "It's only five years left, and your Majesty didn't know where the confidence came from to say something about winning or losing. something."

"There are still five years to go, and it is uncertain who will win." Gu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, and then opened them again, "At least, I am still an emperor now."

"It's better for your majesty to deal with the subject while you still have the breath, so that you can rest assured." Song Nanchu smiled playfully, but looked at Gu Zhiyuan on the sick bed with piercing eyes.

Gu Zhiyuan coughed: "It's not the time yet, so don't worry." He also winked at Song Nanchu as he spoke.

Song Nanchu twitched the corner of his mouth, how cruel is he?I have to discuss my life and death with an emperor, and I have to beg others to solve myself.

"What is your Majesty's reason for calling the minister here?" Song Nanchu was about to change the subject, and said half-jokingly, "You can't call the minister to relieve boredom, can you?"

"Smart once." Gu Zhiyuan smiled, his brows and eyes were crooked, which was much different from his usual appearance.Usually when he wants to laugh, he always laughs so that people feel that there is some kind of conspiracy, but now he smiles like this, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze, very gentle.

Song Nanchu stared at him for a long time, then turned his eyes away: "Your Majesty is tired, you can read some books, so as to educate yourself, why bother with this minister who is plotting evil?"

"I didn't want to talk to Song's staff about this. Didn't Song's staff mention this first?" Perhaps it was because of his illness. Gu Zhiyuan has always spoken in a friendly manner now, and he doesn't look like an emperor no matter what.

Song Nanchu choked for a moment, wrapped his tongue around his mouth a few times, moved a chair and sat in front of Gu Zhiyuan's dragon bed, looked at Gu Zhiyuan with a pair of peach blossom eyes: "Speak, Your Majesty, I will accompany you to the end today."

Being so reassured, Gu Zhiyuan was stunned instead, he thought for a while and didn't know how to start, so he could only remain silent.

Both of them actually understood in their hearts, let go, everything is easy to talk about.Can't let it go, left and right are nothing but a matter of your death.

"Tell me about the hardships you have suffered in these years." Gu Zhiyuan spoke slowly, word by word, as if he had thought it out carefully.

Song Nanchu sneered: "What troubles can there be? I told you, how much can Your Majesty feel?"

"Ten years ago, I had the honor to meet you once." Gu Zhiyuan seemed to be recalling, "I just remember, but you are only about ten years old, and you look as fresh as a little girl."

"...I have never met His Majesty before, and I don't know if His Majesty looks like a kid at the age of ten." Song Nanchu pursed her lips and continued, "However, Your Majesty needs to know that where a person's bottom line is, it is a matter of touch. Untouchable."

Gu Zhiyuan smiled, but did not answer.

Ten years ago, he did meet Song Nanchu.At that time, the world was still the Li family, he was still the son of a general, and Song Nanchu was the high-ranking... prince.
