One Hundred Routes of Counterattack

Chapter 4 Eunuch Counterattack 1.4

Recently, Tang Qian felt that his strange insomnia was not so serious.Although he still can't sleep day and night, but listening to Shi Ning's gentle and clear voice during the day, the annoying irritability and tingling pain will calm down.

Tang Qian's epilepsy, who had calmed down, may not have relapsed for a long time, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief, not only the servants in the palace, but also the concubines in the harem.Tang Qian seems to have returned to the original wise and mighty monarch.

At this moment, Tang Qian was watching Shi Ning with a smile. The latter was reading the memorial in his hand with his head down. The prince led a young eunuch in and greeted him softly.Tang Gan glanced helplessly at the medicine bowl in the little eunuch's hand: "Okay, bring it up, I don't know what the medicine is good for."

Shining's voice stopped, and he looked at the bowl of brown soup.He frowned slightly, and asked his system in his heart: "Can you find out whether there is Hanshisan in this bowl of medicine?"

"After systematic scanning, it contains a large amount of mercury sulfide, aluminum potassium sulfate, copper sulfate, iron oxide, etc., and contains a lot of toxicity. It is preliminarily judged to be similar to Hanshi powder in composition and effect. Among them, cinnabar and iron oxide with mercury sulfide as the main components are The main ingredients are magnets, etc., which are common important tranquilizing medicines. In addition, Shouwu Teng is used for palpitations, insomnia and dreaminess caused by heart and liver blood deficiency, and mental disorders. "

Although many of these chemical names are beyond comprehension by Shi Ning, this does not prevent him from learning enough information.In his previous life, as a child of an aristocratic family, he had seen some medical skills more or less. Although he hadn't reached the stage of being able to treat diseases and prescribe medicines, he knew some basic medical principles.After waiting for so many days, he finally waited for this opportunity. Immediately, he silently looked at the bowl of soup medicine, with some worry in his eyes.

Tang Gan was paying attention to him, so he couldn't see that he was about to say something.Gently put the medicine on the side of the table, waved the two of them back and asked: "Shi Ning, what's wrong with this medicine?"

Shining hesitated and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant is just a little confused. Is this bowl of medicine used by Your Majesty to soothe the nerves and nourish the mind?" Seeing Tang Gan nodding, he continued, "I have seen the doctor prescribe tranquilizing medicine before, but the taste seems to be different. It's not so heavy, it smells like sulfur... It is said that imperial physicians never dare to give heavy doses. Your Majesty, if the dragon's health is so bad, it is better to take care of your health." He seemed to be just worried, but let Tang Gan was taken aback when he heard this: "Is this medicine taken extremely heavily?" Shining didn't know his previous situation, so he might think that the medicine was getting worse every inch, but he drank the medicine every day, so why didn't he know, even though the medicine The effect seems to be weakening, but the taste of the medicine has not changed since the beginning.

The emperor would have thought too much, but Shining's "unintentional words" made him feel interested, so he sent someone to bring the medicine out of the palace, so that the doctors outside the palace could see what the medicine was for.

But after a while, the person sent to investigate came back, and the ingredients of the decoction were clearly listed in the note handed over. The person asked several famous doctors and got the same result, so he came back and replied: "Doctor It is claimed that the cinnabar, magnetite, amethyst, acacia bark, and shouwu vine are all commonly used to treat severe anxiety, insomnia, and heart palpitations, while magnetite, amethyst, cinnabar, realgar, and stalactites are popular in Beijing's aristocratic families in recent years. The main ingredient of Hanshisan, which can strengthen the body."

It sounds reasonable.

"It's just that two doctors said that there is something strange: although Hanshi powder can strengthen the body, the dosage of the medicine needs to be strictly controlled when taking it, otherwise there is a risk of life. It will be mixed with soothing soup."

The person's unfinished intentions were already very clear, and the hearts of several people present all thumped, knowing that there must be something strange in it.The world that this dynasty is about to gain is quite rejected by those aristocratic families. Although Tang Gan has a strong ruling power over the ministers, the royal family is often excluded from the aristocratic clan. I have some understanding of Hanshi San, which is popular in Zhongda.But it is one thing not to understand, but it is not a person who is ignorant of medical principles. It is obvious that calming the mind and stimulating the mind are two different things. How could they still take this prescription for granted?

Tang Qian laughed angrily, "Hanshi San..." He chanted the name a while, and then asked someone to prepare a large amount of good medicine for strengthening the body according to the formula, and sent it to the imperial physician, "Look at him, look at him. What happened after he took the medicine, what did he do, and who did he meet. Tell me everything he says and does."

When everyone was about to retreat, Tang Qian suddenly said: "Shi Ning, you stay here, come here."

Shi Ning froze for a moment, and obediently stayed where he was.

After a while, Tang Gan's meaningful voice sounded: "Shi Ning, what else do you know?"

Perhaps because he couldn't help paying attention to him all the time, Tang Qian found that when his subordinates reported the strangeness between Hanshi San and Anshen Tang, Shining was not surprised at all, or he tried to look surprised, and it was very successful and touching. But Tang Gan subconsciously felt that he had already seen the opportunity.

He was a little curious, so he simply left him to ask directly.

Shining looked at it with watery eyes, and seemed to have an unknown smile: "Your Majesty, I don't know much about Hanshi powder, I only know that this powder was originally used to treat and prevent typhoid fever. People have to do a lot of exercise, and thus indirectly strengthen their body. After taking it, the skin becomes thinner and whiter, so they have to wear old clothes, wooden shoes, drink warm wine, etc. to assist heat dissipation. Taking it will cause hallucinations, inability to concentrate, etc..." Tang Gan's face gradually became serious: "Continue."

"Worse, it's addictive."

"Addiction?" Tang Gan was taken aback for a moment, and it was only then that Shi Ning realized that people didn't know about addiction at this time.He thought for a while and explained: "Once you become addicted, you can't get rid of it. You must take it regularly. Even this interval will become shorter and shorter as the addiction deepens. In the end... you will lose your mind and be confused all day long."

At this moment, Tang Qian's face sank like water.He gritted his teeth and said, "If it's really so serious, why would the aristocratic family seek their own death?"

"Well... because... so far, no one has taken the medicine so accurately and effectively dissipated it. Most people, especially when most of the people who choose to take the medicine are weak family members, often before the addiction He died before the seriousness and disadvantages appeared... After all, the ingredients in Hanshi San contain a lot of toxicity."

Tang Gan raised his eyebrows: "Do I have to quit?"

"Unless His Majesty is willing to stop being like himself."

Tang Gan smiled.There might be no other reason so convincing that he could get over his fear of everything, the only thing he couldn't stand was not being himself.Thinking about the past few months, since the last winter solstice, his control, whether it is self-control or control over the court, has been declining.

Then quit.

The withdrawal was extremely painful. In the past, he was equivalent to taking Hanshi powder every day, and the frequency was more frequent than that of ordinary family members. Fortunately, he was in good health after all, so the worse consequences did not appear.However, the addiction has been deep unconsciously.When the tingling that seemed to come from the bone marrow appeared for the first time, the heroic and burly emperor curled up on the couch and trembled, his teeth chattered, and he whimpered like a beast from his throat.Wang Banban, who was waiting on the sidelines, was so anxious that he burst into tears, but the imperial doctor who had already been on standby could only helplessly express that all of this was unavoidable. To really quit, besides taking the corresponding medicine, the main thing is to rely on a powerful willpower.

Wang Banban has accompanied Tang Qian for decades, and he has a deep love between master and servant. Although he understands that this is something he has to do intellectually, he still hates to see his original high-spirited master suffer such torture in his prime: "Either, or Forget it... Since many members of the aristocratic family have been dismissed, maybe it's not that serious..."

Tang Gan is now delirious, and the prince has become a person who can control the overall situation.As he said so, the imperial physician also prepared Hanshi powder for Tang Gan to take.

However, Shi Ning, who wiped Tang Gan's body over and over again by the bed, and softly comforted him with Cihang Pudu, suddenly turned his head: "No, taking powder has all kinds of harm and no benefit, not to mention that this matter is clearly a complete conspiracy. Concession is the wishful thinking of the mastermind behind the scenes. Eunuch Wang, instead of being anxious here, why not take advantage of the time when His Majesty's dragon body is slightly ill to find out the ins and outs of the whole matter. Besides... Eunuch Wang, Shi Ning believes in His Majesty I can get through it." At this time, Shining didn't care to pretend to be obedient, his eyes were sharp and unquestionable.

:

Tang Gan, who was struggling on the bed, vaguely heard Shi Ning's words, his heart was shaken, and he held his breath: "Listen...Shi Ning."

Wang Banban was at a time when Liushen was at a loss. At this moment, he was photographed by his aura and Tang Gan's will, so he could only accept the order with tears in his eyes, gnashing his teeth with hatred for the person behind the scenes: "Don't be caught by the miscellaneous family, when the time comes... Make him look good!"

The matter of Tang Qian's withdrawal was very secret. In order to prevent rumors, only a few people knew about it, and they claimed to go to Xishan to recuperate in the summer heat.Only two accompanying imperial physicians participated in this matter, Wang Banban and Shining knew, of course, the secret guards who secretly protected Tang Gan were not counted.The imperial doctor looked for a way to shorten the time and reduce the pain. After Wang Banban had a goal, he worked hard to cheer up and vowed to find out the truth. Shi Ning wanted to accompany Tang Qian by his side: comfort him when he was sick, and give the memorial to him when he was sick. Speak out the general idea to help him correct.

After a few days, Tang Qian's body lost weight rapidly, but Shining, who was already thin, was even more emaciated than him. After all, Tang Gan's insomnia was still not cured, and Shining couldn't even sleep soundly.

Accompanying each other for a long time, the original clear boundary between master and servant becomes blurred.One night after an attack, both of them were sweating profusely. Shi Ning was so exhausted that he didn't even bother to clean their bodies, so he lay down on Tang Qian and fell asleep.And Tang Qian didn't know why, just quietly looked at his sleepy and tired eyebrows all night.When Shi Ning woke up the next day, he felt that Tang Gan looked at him strangely.

The story of "Rijiushengqing" probably makes sense. Originally, although Shining admired Tang Gan's great achievements in the past, he only regarded it as a symbol in the history books after all.However, at some point, seeing Tang Gan trembling, curled up, whimpering and even crying in pain on the bed, seeing his limbs bound, mouth stuffed, weak and weak, Shining would also feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Happily, although Tang Qian's body was rapidly losing weight and fading, his eyes became clearer and deeper day by day. As the withdrawal reaction time gradually shortened and the interval increased, Tang Qian's majesty as an emperor also deepened day by day.The prince really felt that he was crying with joy, his wise and mighty emperor is back again!However, even though everyone could feel his growing dignity, he was the only one who didn't want Shi Ning to discover his changes.When facing Shi Ning, he was still self-willed and conniving, conniving at the increasingly ambiguous relationship between the two.

When Shining was thirsty, he would bring a bowl of tea himself, and when he endured the pain of withdrawal, the two of them were close to each other like rubbing hands together.From Shining's words and deeds, he knew that this was not a simple and ordinary eunuch, but he allowed him to gradually reveal himself, and he discovered the arrogance in Shining's bones and the lazy style in the corners of his eyes inadvertently.The two sat up together, rested and stopped at the same time, all Tang Gan's affairs were arranged by Shi Ning, as if Tang Gan couldn't do without Shi Ning.Even Shi Ning once asked the system with some worry, whether Tang Gan was overly dependent on it.

But the prince who has served Tang Qian for decades is the one who sees through everything. He has already understood from Tang Qian's look at Shi Ning, suppressing the raging flames but still hot and deep eyes earlier than Tang Qian himself. to some truth.
