It was expected by Ling Rong that the emperor set foot in Chuxiu Palace again. The worries in her heart grew day by day, but she couldn't stop it. After all, she was just guessing about the pill.Ling Rong couldn't leave the palace, so after thinking about it, he went to find Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu himself had no sense of existence, but now that Hong Zhou had grown up and entered the imperial court, he always had his own contacts and channels, and it was much cheaper to do things.

"Hong Zhou, this matter is of great importance. It is related to the health of the dragon's body. Don't startle the snake." Ling Rong warned.

"Chen Erniang, don't worry, my son will take care of himself." Hong Zhou said solemnly.

Hong Zhou has also heard about this matter, but now it is only a slight sign, and the pills have not been seen yet, whether it is good or bad is unknown, and it is difficult to find out.Moreover, as a son of man, he obstructed his father's pursuit of a long life. Whether it was out of good intentions or not, he would be called unfilial if he said it out, and he would even be labeled a bigger hat by those who cared.

"Hong Zhou, I don't want you to intervene in this matter, but I just hope that you can check it out. Since the origin of the imperial physician is unknown, I always feel uneasy." Ling Rong naturally knew that this matter was difficult, and did not hold out too much hope. Just trying to do my best.

"My son knows, Chen Erniang can rest assured." Hongzhou said with a sigh of relief.

Hong Zhou soon brought back the news that there was no flaw in the matter, that there were indeed two centenarians in the imperial physician's ancestors, eight octogenarians, and seven or eight rare old people who are still alive today. There are so many people who live a long life, it is really convincing to say that there is a way to prolong life.

During Hong Zhou's investigation this time, he found that there were many spies watching the imperial physician's house. Presumably, Yu's family was already under the emperor's control. Ling Rong did not interfere in this matter, and Hong Zhou also withdrew his staff.Hongzhou didn't get nothing this time, at least he also found out some of Hongli's background and manpower.The younger brothers are still young, only this fourth brother who is a year older than him is his current opponent.

Three months later, the first batch of golden elixir was refined, and the rare medicinal materials in the Tai Hospital were continuously consumed during these three months, which shows how much the emperor attaches importance to it.

This also made Ling Rong even more distrustful of this golden elixir, thinking that the Yu family is just an ordinary family, how could it be possible to obtain so many rare medicinal materials?

Maybe the Yu family really has a prescription for prolonging life, but it is absolutely impossible to need so many rare medicinal materials. There is definitely something wrong with this golden elixir!

The most likely reason is that Imperial Physician Yu did not dare to use their family's health elixir directly to the emperor, for fear that the emperor would find those crude things unreliable, so he ordered so many rare medicinal materials to prove their credibility.

It would be fine if those rare medicinal materials were just secretly embezzled by the Yu family. I'm afraid that the Yu family would be cowardly and insist on adding those medicinal materials to the original elixir, which would be troublesome.

Modifying the prescription is not such a simple matter, as it affects the whole body, the increase or decrease of the medicine will change the whole property of the medicine, and the effect will be completely different.Ling Rong was anxious in his heart, so he thought that it would be great if he could get a pill to take a look at.

The emperor was a suspicious person, he did not consume the elixir rashly after refining it, but asked the imperial doctor to test it again, and only took it officially after being tried.After taking it continuously for a month, the emperor's complexion looked much better, and he became more energetic.

During this period, the emperor recruited Ling Rong twice, and his intentions were indeed much stronger. Ling Rong's heart finally became more stable, but he still felt a little worried.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve again, and the emperor held a big family banquet. Ling Rong looked at Zhen Yuluo, who was now very hot, and still had the same aloof and arrogant look, no different.The eyeliner placed in Chuxiu Palace didn't gain much, Ling Rong had to admit that maybe she really worried too much.

After the family banquet, the emperor went to Jingren Palace to watch the new year with the empress according to the rules, while Ling Rong took the three children to watch the new year together.

Hongxi Hongrui is not young anymore, he is sensible and caring like a little adult, he knows how to help Lingrong take care of his sister, and knows how to make Lingrong happy, and although Heyue is still ignorant, he is also well-behaved and sensible.

She has been in the palace for more than 11 years, and she is not yet 30 years old, but she is already worried about the future. The emperor is old, and the matter of Jindan is always a hidden danger. Although the emperor looks good now, the mausoleum is still afraid.

After the emperor started taking the golden elixir, Ling Rong didn't bring any food to the emperor. Even if the emperor had meals in Zhongcui Palace, Ling Rong only asked the imperial dining room to bring the emperor's rations instead of the small kitchen.

"It's been a long time since I tasted the snacks in Rong'er's small kitchen, but I'm thinking about it." The emperor said during the meal that day.

"It's the concubine, isn't it? It's just that the emperor has been taking the life-prolonging elixir recently, and the concubine is afraid that conflicts will affect the effectiveness of the elixir." Ling Rong said with a smile.

"Rong'er is still careful." The emperor said, "I will ask the imperial physician to send you a list some other day, so we won't be afraid of conflicts."

"Yes." Ling Rong's eyes flashed, and his smile was still gentle.

At night, the emperor stayed in Zhongcui Palace. After the cloud and rain, the emperor fell into a deep sleep, and the mausoleum quietly felt the emperor's pulse.Mausoleum didn't know the pulse very well, but he could feel that the emperor's pulse was not as strong as the emperor showed, which was really strange.

"Liu Li." Ling Rong whispered to Liu Li who was guarding outside, and Liu Li gently opened the curtain to feel the emperor's pulse.

After a while, Liuli withdrew her hand and retreated quietly, Ling Rong tucked the quilt for the emperor and got out of bed.

In the ear room, there were only two people, Liuli and Lingrong, Liuli's face was a little dignified, and Lingrong couldn't help but thump in his heart.

"How?" Ling Rong clenched his hands tightly to restrain the fear in his heart.

"Returning to the master, the emperor's pulse condition shows that the emperor's body has not improved compared to before taking the elixir, but the loss has become more serious." Liuli said.

"It's impossible! The emperor's complexion is much better, even in the boudoir!" Ling Rong subconsciously retorted, but her lips couldn't help trembling.

"I don't know what kind of elixir the emperor took, but I can be sure that the amount of tonic in this elixir is very large, so the emperor's complexion and strength look very good.

But this did not solve the emperor's own losses, but used drugs to mobilize the emperor's vitality to the maximum, so that the emperor seemed to be in good condition. "Liuli said.

"There are so many imperial physicians treating the emperor, it's impossible not to find out! Liuli, don't speak nonsense!" Ling Rong refused to believe it.

"My lord, my slaves would never dare to speak in vain. If the emperor hadn't just recruited my lord and spent some energy, my servants wouldn't have been able to find out the problem." Liu Li knelt in front of the mausoleum and said.

Ling Rong took a few steps back, managed to stabilize his figure, and said after a while: "Is there a remedy?"

"Your servant is ashamed." Liuli said.

"Based on this situation, how long will it take for the problem to be covered up?" Ling Rong asked.

"As long as you cover it with powerful medicine, it will be difficult to find the problem, but after only half a year, you will be unable to cover it up." Liu Li said.

"Half a year... I know this, don't mention this matter to others, I will make my own decisions." Ling Rong's eyes darkened, and he was already murderous.

"Yes, the servant obeys." Liuli said.

"Get up and go to rest." Ling Rong walked back to the bedroom with heavy steps, looking at the sleeping emperor with an unpredictable expression.

Early the next morning, Mausoleum waited on the emperor to wash and change his clothes, hesitant to speak, appearing preoccupied.

"What's wrong with Rong'er? So haggard?" the emperor said.

"My concubine's dishonesty, please forgive my sin." Ling Rong smiled reluctantly, unable to hide his worry.

"But you didn't rest well last night?" The emperor didn't blame him, Ling Rong was not a pampered person, and the emperor believed that there was a reason for it.

"The concubine just had a nightmare last night, and she was a little scared, which made the emperor laugh." Ling Rong said.

"What kind of dream scares Rong'er so much? Let me hear it," said the emperor.

"The concubine can't say it, what if it comes true?!" Ling Rong said in fear.

"I am here." The emperor said.

"The concubine dreamed that the emperor rewarded the concubine with golden elixir, and the concubine became younger and younger after taking it...Suddenly one day, the concubine angered the emperor, and the emperor stopped giving the concubine the pill. The concubine suddenly turned into a wrinkled, white-haired old woman." Ling Rong touched his face, trembling with fear.

"It's just a dream, don't be afraid." The emperor comforted, with an unnatural expression on his face.

"The emperor laughed." Ling Rong tried to calm down, his slightly trembling hands showed the fear in the master's heart.

"It's good to have a rest, I'm going to court." The emperor patted Ling Rong's hand and comforted him.

"The courtiers and concubines send the emperor respectfully." Ling Rong saluted.

After the emperor left, Lingrong asked Liuli to accompany him back to the palace to rest.Lying on the collapsed bed, Ling Rong tossed and turned, trying to sort out all the details, looking for a solution.

After a while, Ling Rong suddenly sat up. Although it was risky, Ling Rong thought of a way, but... that's all, there are gains and losses, she has no other way.

After considering the countermeasures, Ling Rong took active actions.Now that the emperor feels strong and powerful, he has entered the harem more often, and in the name of being favored by Bo Zhen Yuluo, Mausoleum joined forces with Concubine Hua, Mei Zhuang and others to actively compete for favor.As soon as this move was made, the young concubines in the harem spontaneously joined the team fighting for favor without Ling Rong being willing to push it forward.For a time, the harem was full of flowers and colorful.

Two months later, the emperor stayed in the Zhongcui Palace of the mausoleum on this day. During the cloud and rain, the mausoleum felt that the emperor was a little weak. can be easily distinguished.

The time is almost ripe, and Lingrong is ready for the next step.

One day half a month later, the emperor stayed in Zhen Yuluo's palace, and the conservatory sent a large bouquet of dog-tailed lilies, and Ling Rong let his eyeliner do something secretly.

The hard work paid off, and the emperor's condition was discovered. In fact, the mausoleum was just filled with enchanting fragrances in the lilies, just like Zhen Yuluo once did.

The fragrance of fascination made the emperor forget himself, and indulged in Zhen Yuluo's young and beautiful body. As a result of his overindulgence, the emperor's legs went limp, and he even broke his knee, completely losing face.

The imperial physician was summoned, the emperor's real pulse was revealed, and the emperor was furious. Zhen Yuluo really couldn't argue this time.The emperor is this kind of extreme person, who loves to live and hates to die.

The emperor didn't even investigate whether Zhen Yurao was framed in this matter at all, and directly abolished Zhen Yurao's concubine position and put him in the cold palace.Zhen Huan's two sons and daughters were sent to elder brother's house, Zhen Huan was also implicated, demoted to a promise, and the Zhen family had no chance of turning over.

Ling Rong didn't feel happy, because the emperor didn't deal with the imperial physician!This meant that the emperor did not intend to give up the golden elixir. People are greedy after all, and Ling Rong felt chilly in his heart.The emperor is so obsessed with obsession, she is helpless.

Now, she can only plan for the worst. If it continues, the emperor will not live long. Her three children are still young, and Mausoleum only wants to be safe.

If the emperor died, the most likely successors to the throne would be Hongli and Hongzhou.Neither of them has a strong mother's family to rely on, and their abilities are evenly matched, so it is possible.

Mausoleum is more familiar with Hong Zhou, and Hong Xi also has a good relationship with Hong Zhou, so naturally he hopes that Hong Zhou can inherit the throne.Hong Zhou's character and mausoleum appearance are trustworthy. When Hong Xi leaves the palace to build a mansion in the future, she can also leave the Forbidden City.

Ling Rong had a calculation in his heart, but he didn't know what to do, so he called Hong Xi and asked Hong Xi to bring a message to Ling Zhi.Hong Xi was already over ten years old, he might be considered a child in an ordinary family, but in this royal family, Hong Xi already understood the overall situation of the court better than Ling Rong, a woman in the deep palace.

Ling Rong told Hong Xi everything, Hong Xi hurried out of Zhongcui Palace, Ling Rong didn't ask too much, Hong Xi is an elder brother, he will grow up, and this child is more mature than she imagined some.

Things were developing in the direction that Lingrong was worried about. The emperor became more obsessed with pills and never entered the harem again. Lingrong hadn't seen the emperor for nearly a month.

I learned from Hong Xi that the emperor is now shutting himself in the Qianqing Palace except for going to court, and he looks pretty good.

Yu's family of imperial physicians has also been brought under control, but they still serve them with delicious food and drink. It seems that the emperor still believes that the Yu family has secret recipes.

The Yu family... Lingrong is very clear that it is only a matter of time before the Yu family is cleared out. I believe the imperial physician Yu also knows it. I hope the Yu family really has a way to prolong the life of the emperor.
