I run a newspaper in ancient times

Yunxi is a serious and responsible cutie, within a few days, he put a bottle of medicine in front of Li Li with dark circles under his eyes.

"Anyone who wants to get 'smallpox' should take one. Symptoms depend on the individual, and it usually lasts for three days. Pregnancy...pregnant women can bear up to two, otherwise it may hurt the fetus, don't forget it!"

Yunxi suddenly believed in the unofficial history told by the storyteller in the teahouse. The worst chaos in the world is not in the people, but in the palace.

Holding the small porcelain bottle in his hand, Li Li opened the lid, sniffed it up to the tip of his nose, identified several herbs in it, and couldn't help admiring: "As expected of the future head of our master's sect, he really has mastered master's knowledge." Essence, he is not bragging when he praises you to the sky."

The corner of Yunxi's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help puffing out her chest, raised her eyebrows with pride on her face, and shouted loudly in her heart: That's it!

Looking at his small appearance, Li Li couldn't help but deepen his smile. He gently picked up a peach on the table, handed it over and said, "Then capable little brother, can you help me develop a safe and effective medicine?"

Yunxi was a little flustered, took a bite of the peach, and exclaimed: "It's so sweet!" He narrowed his eyes happily, and asked while eating, "What kind of medicine, isn't it for pregnant women again?"

Li Li nodded: "You're so smart, you can guess right, so let's study abortion medicine."

What, what?

In an instant, the little junior brother shook his hands, and the peach he had bitten into twice fell down.

He looked horrified, and the stool under his butt seemed to be unsteady and about to tip over.

Yunxi didn't care about the rotten peaches on the ground, swallowed the difficulty in his mouth, stared at Li Li, who was shaking his fan, as if he had just casually chatted about the weather, and finally spit out five words: "Are you kidding? "

"of course not."

"Yes, but isn't that empress?"

Li Li raised her eyebrows: "Yo, I guessed it."

This is the only pregnant woman he diagnosed. If it wasn't that one, could it be someone else?

Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth, and wiped her mouth with her sleeve: "The one who is pregnant is a dragon son, can this be beaten? Hurting the dragon's heir is a serious crime!"

Li Li didn't deny it, nodded and said, "I know a lot."

"Then you still..."

Li Li pointed at Yunxi's stool with a fan, and told him to sit still: "It doesn't matter if the dragon's heir is not the dragon's heir, if she waits out of the palace, leaving a child behind will be a fetter, so it's better not to have it."

"But can a mother be cruel enough to kill her own child?" Yunxi asked, "Isn't that selfish?"

Li Li smiled and said: "People always want to live for themselves, and besides, I just prepare for her. It's up to her to decide whether to stay or not."

Yunxi just felt that it was really not easy for him. He lived in dire straits every day, and he didn't know when he would be silenced because he knew too much.

Sure enough, going to court in a temple is much more dangerous than wanton rivers and lakes.

"I haven't even held a girl's little hand, but I was busy with abortion first, senior brother, this is too strange." Yunxi said with a serious face.

Li Li smiled and said: "Those who are able work harder, who made my junior brother so capable?"

Yunxi didn't want to hear this compliment at all, and patted her butt worryingly, took another peach from the fruit plate on the table, and left.

As soon as he left, Li Li called Dong Lai in, motioned to the porcelain vase on the table and said, "This year's peach tastes good, and I will send some to my mother. If there are any, I will share them elsewhere."

"Yes." Donglai took the medicine, but asked hesitantly, "My lord, if Concubine Yu asks..."

"Then just tell her."

At this time, Zhang Banban in the Mingzheng Hall was also there, and it seemed that he was here to deliver something. It looked like the situation was not small.

In front of the Empress Dowager stood a white jade Buddha, the whole body was translucent, and the color was moist. The Buddha statue was carved vividly and extremely gracefully. The difficulty was that the whole piece of jade from the base to the Buddha statue was so rare that it seemed that the entire Cishou Palace was solemn. stand up.

Zhang Banban said: "As soon as the emperor saw it, he knew that it was prepared for the queen mother, so he couldn't wait to have his servants bring it over."

"The Emperor has a heart." The Empress Dowager obviously liked it very much, she was full of praise and at the same time leaned over to look carefully for a long time, and then asked Funing to take someone to the small Buddhist hall to make an offering, and repeatedly told him to be careful.

"By the way, how is the emperor's health? You must be more careful when serving him."

Zhang Banban replied: "The emperor is concerned about the war in northern Xinjiang, so he can't sleep well at night, but the imperial doctor prescribed a prescription, drink a paste before going to bed, it is much better."

The Queen Mother sighed softly and nodded: "The Ai family has also heard about it. There is no need to rush this matter, and you have to relax. You should persuade him more. In addition, there are some old ginseng here. You can take them back to the emperor and tell him, Ai The family is concerned about his body and prays for his speedy recovery in front of the Buddha every day."

"Yes, the queen mother prayed to the Buddha, and the emperor will surely restore Kangtai."

At this time, Dong came to see him, and he brought a basket of peaches of excellent quality to see the Queen Mother.

And Zhang Banban glanced at the basket, and then took his leave to the queen mother, passed by Donglai, and walked away without exchanging greetings.

With a smile on his face, Donglai waited until he left before respectfully saluting the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, this is the peach grown on the biggest peach tree in the palace. This year's taste is particularly sweet, and it is big and full of water. Compared with those who paid tribute in the south, the prince thinks that you must like it, so he specially ordered the servant to bring it to you to taste."

As long as there is something in this world, the queen mother has never seen or eaten anything, it is only because of Li Li's filial piety.

Funing took the fruit basket and asked the Empress Dowager: "Why don't the servants wash some of them, and the Empress Dowager can try it?"

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, with anticipation in her eyes: "I remember that once A Li ate a peach and threw the core into the flower garden. Is this the one that grew out later?"

Dong Lai exclaimed: "The queen mother is really good at remembering. It was the peach tree. Because in the flower garden, it was originally intended to be dug up by others, but the prince said that life is hard to come by, and it should be respected. So let it stay, and now it has grown very big, and the fruit is getting better every year."

"A Li has a kind heart, but the peach tree remembers the kindness without saying a word. This is cause and effect." The queen mother worshiped the Buddha, and what she liked to hear most was such things with Buddha nature. Aijia is in a very good mood today."

Funing has already walked in with the cut peaches, one by one, cut into eight petals, removed the core, the inside is red and white, just looking at it makes your mouth water.

The queen mother suddenly remembered Zhang Banban and said: "Ai's family can't eat so much, but Zhang Banban left early, otherwise let him bring some back to the emperor."

Dong said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the prince has already prepared it. In addition to the Ming main hall, the empresses of the main palace also have a share."

"That's good."

Donglai came out of Cishou Palace, and took the eunuch with him to Mingzheng Hall.

No matter how hard the two brothers fought against each other, they had to do enough superficial skills, and Dong Lai would not let his master be criticized.

Before that, Zhang Banban returned to Emperor Yan first, and mentioned the matter of sending peaches from the east.

Emperor Yan sneered and said: "A Li's way of pleasing people is always the most handy, but it's just a few worthless peaches, but the queen mother just likes him."

Zhang Banban said: "Looking at the prince's actions, Ming Zhengdian should also send them here."

As soon as the voice fell, the outside came to report.

"It really came."

After all, there was only face left, Dong Lai sent Tao, and after saying the scene on Li Li's behalf, he resigned in a sensible way.

As soon as he left, Emperor Yan looked at the small basket with no more than five peaches in it and said, "Go and see, besides Cishou Palace, where else have you sent it?"

"Yes."

Zhang Banban went down in response, and as soon as he left, a young eunuch sneaked up to the imperial court, knelt down and described in detail what happened in Cishou Palace.

This little eunuch was one of the left prime minister's eyeliners who hadn't been pulled out, and now he was working behind Zhang Banban, looking clever.

"Did Zhang Banban say anything to Dong?" Li Li asked.

The little eunuch said: "No, Eunuch Zhang didn't even talk, he didn't even exchange greetings, he just walked away with his chin raised, the servant watched, because although Eunuch Zhang didn't speak in the East of Cishou Palace, his expression was not very happy. On the way back, Eunuch Zhang also warned our accompanying slaves to stay away from the people in Prince Yi's mansion, and not to have any personal contact with them, otherwise they will be skinned and cramped and thrown into the Department of Punishment. "

Emperor Yan listened expressionlessly, then raised his hand to let the little eunuch go down, his face could not tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

Zhang Banban found Donglai's trace and came back to report to Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhang went directly to Qingchun Palace and met Concubine Yu, who sent someone to divide the peaches and send them to Chunhua. Palace, Jingning Palace, Yixin Palace, Changqiu Palace...there are not many of them, but there are several empresses in the main palace, even the grounded Concubine Shen also has a share."

Standing behind Shi Yu was Li Li, and she was in charge of the harem, so naturally she would sort out the peaches and no one would make a mistake.

Like Emperor Yan and Prime Minister Zuo's glamorous contacts, Li Li and Shi Yu did not avoid people's contacts.

Although Emperor Yan had expected it a long time ago, he was still sad in his heart.

He didn't doubt that Shi Yu and Li Li had a different kind of relationship between men and women, but his woman trusted his almost hostile brother more, which made his eyes hurt and his heart hurt, but for the time being, he was powerless and unable to change this fact .

After Shi Yu learned the truth about the former prince's treason, the two of them could never go back.

"But even if she blames me for the rest of her life, she can only stay by my side."

This is the only consolation that Emperor Yan can get. Of course, the premise is that he must have the last laugh to prevent Li Li's ambition from succeeding.

Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Banban: "What do you think of Prime Minister Zuo's proposal?"

Zhang Banban was taken aback for a moment, then hesitation appeared on his face.

Emperor Yan smiled: "But it doesn't matter."

"Your Majesty, this servant has very little knowledge, and only thinks that the left minister is also a wolf with ambition, wanting to trap the Emperor in injustice."

Zhang Banban's blunt words made Emperor Yan burst into laughter: "This is obvious, what is he thinking, how can I not know for so many years? I don't know that Dingbei Houtong didn't cooperate with the enemy back then, but there must be him in it." Handwriting. No matter how daring A Li is, she would not dare to betray her country. She really is a thief calling for a thief, this old man is really shameless!"

"Your Majesty is wise."

This flattery was a bit ironic, and Emperor Yan said: "If the morale of the army in Northern Xinjiang is really shaken and the battle is defeated, even though Fan Zhiyuan has become a sinner through the ages and will die, Dayan will also suffer heavy losses, let alone the four prefectures of Yanjing When I come back, I'm afraid that the five states that I finally took back will have to be given to Daxia again, I can't afford this sinner!"

Zhang Banban was about to boast about Emperor Yan's understanding and righteousness, but before he could say it, Emperor Yan sighed: "But, this opportunity is really rare!"

Zhang Banban raised his head involuntarily, and saw Emperor Yan looking at him with piercing eyes.

"If Ah Li can't be caught off guard, when Fan Zhiyuan comes back from the victory and raises the issue, I'm afraid that he will end up avenging the Marquis of Dingbei instead. Zhang Banban, how do you think I should make a decision?"

Although it was a question, but the gaze was too eager, Zhang Banban knew the character of Emperor Yan well, the emperor had already made up his mind, and just wanted someone to give him an excuse.

"Slave, slave..." Rao Zhang Banban was selfish, so he didn't dare to say it at this time.

But Emperor Yan just looked at him like this, Zhang Banban fought with his mouth dry and trembling with fear, but finally knelt down with a plop and said: "Your Majesty, the history books are written by future generations. As long as the Emperor holds the power in the future, the future Recovering the country is only an expedient measure this time, and we have to compromise. There is a saying that the left minister said is right, you must first settle down when you are fighting against the outside world, and the emperor has no power, so it is the chief culprit."

Zhang Banban put his head on the ground, not letting Emperor Yan see his tears and hatred.

He knew that what Emperor Yan wanted to hear was exactly what Emperor Yan wanted to hear, but Emperor Yan was clearly dissatisfied when he didn't make a sound. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Think about the former emperor, that's what he did, but today's Dayan..." Qiang Sheng Over summer.

In an instant, even if he didn't see it, he could feel that the stagnant atmosphere was relaxed, and the emperor wanted a satisfactory answer from him.

"You are right, I would like to imitate my father." Emperor Yan helped Zhang Banban himself up for the first time, and asked with a smile, "Why are you crying?"

"The slave is the one who loves the emperor and wants to do such a difficult thing."

"I am very pleased." Emperor Yan patted Zhang Banban on the shoulder, "Bring the medicine here."

"Is your majesty going to use the medicine of Imperial Physician Yang? Why don't you find someone to try again?" Zhang Banban asked.

Emperor Yan shook his head: "Didn't you send someone to try it? It won't kill you if you eat it, and it won't get worse. Go and get it."

Zhang Banban touched his face and replied, "Yes."
