Gongshang Confidante

A few days later, Imperial Physician Chen came back with calligraphy and painting in his hands, "His Royal Highness, Princess Meng, is so generous that the old official can get what he wants." Imperial Physician Chen reluctantly handed over a picture of a beauty, and stroking his beard to reflect on it secretly,

Seeing his obsessed appearance, Zhou Chiyu couldn't help but smile, and said, "Physician Chen is clearly obsessed with painting. I want to give you this painting, but he flatly refuses it. It's really hard to guess."

Imperial doctor Chen collected his expression, because of borrowing books and paintings, he had a good impression of Princess Zhaoning in his heart, and he couldn't help but said truthfully, "You will not be rewarded for no merit, and His Highness will send generous gifts to veterans. You must ask for something. Veterans are old. Live the day in a muddle, just want to take care of the day, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help the palace

Down".

In the end, I was still afraid of getting into trouble, and I just wanted to live in peace.

Zhou Chiyu coughed lightly, and Xia Ling carried the silver tray from the side, and walked up to Imperial Physician Chen, "Imperial Physician Chen, please take a look for me, what is this?" Following Zhou Chiyu's words, Xia Ling opened the silver tray. On the red silk was a brown pill exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, which was very similar to the one taken by Imperial Physician Chen that day.

Doctor Chen's eyelids trembled, and he took the pill through the silk cloth calmly, looked at it carefully under his eyelids, and sniffed it lightly with the tip of his nose, the more his eyelids trembled more and more, he hurriedly put the pill on the plate , tremblingly said, "How did Your Highness get the elixir refined by the Taoist priest?" According to his judgment from the fragrance of the medicine, this pill should be exactly the same as the elixir that the Taoist priest presented to the emperor.

"Is Doctor Chen guilty?!", Zhou Chiyu threw down a prescription on the ground, Doctor Chen hurriedly picked it up, squinted his eyes to look down, his face was solemn, big beads of sweat fell from his forehead like soybean grains, turning white lips pursed,

"Dendrobium dendrobii, Polygonatum odoratum, and Cornus officinalis are all nourishing kidney yin and lowering deficiency fire. It is no wonder that the father is weak and favors his concubine, but these medicines are all sweet and cold. Although nightshade grass has the effect of promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling, However, people who are weak and cold should not take too much, not to mention that there is... blind scorpion tail in the prescription. Thinking about it, Imperial Physician Chen knows better than Ben Gong that this so-called life-saving pill is for the cold father. , the toxicity is greater than the medicinal properties, and it is said to be a life-saving medicine, but it is actually a life-threatening !!!".

"Old, old minister..." Imperial Physician Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, he didn't know how Princess Zhaoning obtained this prescription, "Does Imperial Physician Chen have committed the crime of murdering the Holy Majesty?!", Zhou Chiyu sternly said He shouted, making Imperial Physician Chen tremble, "The veteran didn't know that the medicines in his prescriptions were all tiger and wolf herbs, and he was fooled by the adulterers."

Zhou Chiyu sneered, and said, "The Imperial Physician Chen was able to smell the smell of mandala from a string of beads back then, how could he not be able to distinguish these medicines of tigers and wolves, don't deceive me!! Come, take down Imperial Physician Chen , have a good interrogation!!”,

Imperial physician Chen knelt down on the ground and shouted, "Your Highness, Your Highness is aware that Danwan is a tribute from the Taoist priest, and the emperor is very useful, old minister... old minister... dare not speak...",

"Don't dare to speak? Do you want to let the powerful medicine harm the body of the holy dragon? How dare you! This palace sees you as an old, fatuous, and cowardly mouse, so I will report to the emperor and cut off your head for helping the evildoers!! ",

Doctor Chen's legs were trembling like a sieve, lying on the ground, he shouted, "Your Highness, the priest was invited by the empress. The emperor's spirit has improved a lot after taking the pill, and he is full of praise for the pill." , if the old minister talks too much, wouldn't it be a violation of the holy will!",

"If your father is in front of you who are greedy for life and afraid of death, dare not speak out, cover up people's eyes and ears, and confuse people's eyes and ears, they should be beheaded!" Zhou Chiyu raised his eyebrows and angrily reprimanded,

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the old minister once told the father-in-law Li Chengqian that he had broken the pills twice, but the emperor was furious and punished Li Gonggong, and the minister dared not speak again." Serving in front of the emperor is to conspire with the tiger , if you are a little careless, you will lose your head. Princess Zhaoning has suffered so much from the emperor.

It's easy to say that you love me, but I don't know how hard it is for the people below.

After Zhou Chiyu heard this, he calmed down his anger a little, took a breath, and said in a deep voice, "Then what does Imperial Physician Chen think?" The emperor loves His Highness, and will definitely listen to it."

What a cunning old guy, he pushed the matter onto himself, if he persuaded him, he might offend his father, if he didn't persuade him, he would be committing the same crime as Imperial Doctor Chen, who didn't know the truth. Doctor Chen, he picked himself clean.

Zhou Chiyu sneered, "With the empress here, even if I persuade you, the emperor will not listen to you." The emperor wakes up and understands the harm of pills," Zhou Chiyu said,

Doctor Chen raised his head, thinking to himself that the pill not only improved the emperor's spirit and appetite, but also regained his masculinity. How could the emperor be willing to take it easily, unless...

"Can the imperial physician have a solution?" Seeing him in a daze, Zhou Chiyu asked, "The old minister is fatuous." Imperial physician Chen shook his head again and again, "I don't think you don't understand, so you don't dare."

"If the body is damaged by eating, the emperor will naturally know the harm of the pill, but it will be too late at that time," Zhou Chiyu said, and the imperial doctor Chen sighed, as long as he prescribed a dose of medicine that was incompatible with the emperor's pill, wait for the pill to be released. After taking it, the emperor suddenly felt unwell, and he would definitely blame the priest.

"It seems that Imperial Physician Chen has a solution," Zhou Chiyu said, "Emperor Physician is more proficient in pharmacology than I am, as long as a certain medicine is more serious, let Father fall into a coma for a day, knowing its power, Father will not dare to use pills again ".

"This, this, if the emperor finds out, this, yes, the crime of beheading!", Imperial Physician Chen said in a panic, "At present, Imperial Physician Chen is already guilty of beheading, and in the future, he may be able to use the crime of beheading!" Atonement is not as good as a full family", Zhou Chiyu stared into his eyes, all words were kept silent.

"Old minister understands," Imperial Physician Chen stood up tremblingly, and asked, "How does Your Highness feel about tomorrow?" Zhou Chiyu remained calm, pursed his lips, and Imperial Physician Chen looked at her, with his hands down, standing by the side and waiting , Zhou Chiyu frowned, and replied, "Yes",

A smile flashed across the face of Imperial Physician Chen, and he cupped his hands, "The old minister has the cheek to ask Your Highness to reward this picture of beauty", "Take it", Zhou Chiyu raised his hand, and Imperial Physician Chen stepped forward to take the painting in his arms, facing After Zhou Chiyu saluted, he stepped back.

Who knows, he is going to drag Zhou Chiyu into the water. Even if he is questioned later, it can be said that he was instructed by Princess Zhaoning. With this painting as proof, everyone in the palace should be careful.

Zhou Chiyu looked at the back of Imperial Physician Chen rushing forward, a sneer twitched at the corner of his mouth.

In the middle of the next night, the people in the Ning'an Palace turned their backs into a mess. According to reports from the serving eunuchs and maids, it was said that at noon, after taking the pills, the emperor fell asleep and couldn't wake up. Only the Tao or pills induced the pain into the body, the emperor couldn't help it, and passed out.

After hearing this, the empress was very angry, and ordered the Taoist priest who offered the pills to investigate the illness, and ordered people to strictly guard the Ning'an Hall, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

There was chaos in the palace for a while, and all kinds of rumors spread, all saying that the emperor's dragon body might be dying... The empress ordered someone to cut off the tongue of a court lady to frighten the servants, whoever dares to speak nonsense, just like this.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, soon the news of the emperor's serious illness spread inside and outside the court, the king of Dian and the third prince immediately entered the palace to ask to see the emperor, but the empress stopped him outside the hall of Ning'an, and the two sides confronted each other.

"Could it be that this king can't see the emperor?", the king of Dian was furious, and said, "The emperor is seriously ill. The imperial hospital said that the emperor should take a rest from his illness and should not be disturbed. Please go back, the king of Dian." Empress Su wore a five-color phoenix pattern. Court clothes, raised his head proudly, flatly refused.

"Women and children, when this king killed the enemy, you were still admiring the flowers and embroidered clothes in the harem, so don't stop me." The king of Dian frowned, with great momentum, and walked straight forward. Filial piety, visit your mother and empathize." The third prince followed the Dian king to the Ning'an Hall.

"Presumptuous! How courageous! Let me stop them!" Empress Su raised her eyebrows, her eyes glaring, "This palace is in charge of the harem, not to mention that the emperor is seriously ill, and the crown prince supervises the country. How can I allow you to assist the government under the order?" Waiting to speak lightly and abuse, trespassing on the Ning'an Palace",

King Dian pushed away the guards who came forward, and shouted loudly, "Who dares to stop this king?!" Empress Su took two steps back, her eyes turned cold, and she said in a deep voice, "Whoever trespasses Ning'an Hall with weapons will kill no one." amnesty!",

As soon as the words came out, the sound of the sword being unsheathed was heard, and the cold light flickered. A row of guards in front of them all drew their swords and faced each other, surrounding King Dian and the third prince.

The king of Dian never thought that the queen would dare to meet him in battle, so his eyebrows jumped heavily, and he said, "Bring the man up!", plop, the man who was brought was forced to kneel on the ground, raised his head and shouted, "The empress saves the servant!",

Empress Su frowned when she saw the Taoist priest's uniform, and asked, "I don't know what the king of Dian means?" The king of Dian said loudly, "I have heard that the empress strongly recommends Taoist priests to offer tribute pills. , drowsy, but really trying to test it! This king should carefully examine

Ask this thief, what is his intention? ! ",

"My palace is just recommending the Taoist priest. Whether you take it or not depends on the emperor, not to mention that the emperor has been taking pills for a long time, and there is nothing wrong with it." Empress Su said with a frown as she looked at the trembling Taoist priest.

"Thieves, Taoist, can you tell me what is in the pill? It can make the emperor feel sick, and still favor the concubine!", King Dian kicked the Taoist priest in the face, and angrily said,

"The pill is just an ordinary medicine for invigorating qi and nourishing the kidney," the Taoist priest said in a panic, "Come here, take him away, and interrogate him carefully." The king of Dian said, "My lady, help me!" Ken said one more thing, but kept asking Queen Su for help.
