Su Muzhe

Chapter 57 The Elixir

Su Heng pushed him aside, this kind of thing happened not once or twice, Su Heng only said that he was joking.

Seeing that Su Heng was not in the mood to mess around with him, Lang Yue took out Su Jin's reply letter from her sleeve and gave it to him.Seeing that it was Su Jin's handwriting, Su Heng immediately cheered up.

It wrote the recent events of Ye Xiguo. Looking at Su Jin's handwriting, Su Heng felt as if his Jin'er was right in front of his eyes.

In the summer of the 33rd year of the night calendar, not long after the examination, His Majesty Ye Xi fell ill.The princes in the imperial hospital were helpless, and there was nothing they could do about the emperor's illness.

The entire Ye Xi Kingdom posted a notice that anyone who could heal the emperor would be rewarded heavily.Quite a lot of charlatans came. After trying various medicines for the emperor, the emperor's illness not only did not get better, but became more serious.

This is not the way to go. After killing a few charlatans, it stopped for a long time, and no one dared to treat the disease again.But the emperor was still ill, so he had to post the notice again.

One day a person came and said that a certain Taoist monk could cure the emperor's illness. After many investigations and the person tried the medicine himself, he gave it to the emperor.

Quan regarded a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but not long after taking this elixir, the emperor's illness miraculously healed, and the bones of his body became stronger than before.

After the emperor recovered, he left the man in the palace, and asked the man to feel his pulse every day and take various elixirs.The emperor's body and bones are getting better day by day, and the people in the harem are also blessed, and even a concubine is pregnant with a dragon seed.

Su Jin didn't mix these things, but heard rumors from the palace that the cultivator was a half-immortal, and the elixir for the emperor was made by him with his own immortal energy. The people in the team vigorously assisted him to continue alchemy.

The half-immortal worked tirelessly, taking the money given by the emperor, and refining various elixirs every day.

At this moment, Lang Yue brought Su Heng's letter to Su Jin's prime minister's mansion, and told him everything that had happened during these days.

Looking at the current situation, he wanted to check Ye Xi's military strength again, but the crown prince sent people to obstruct him in every possible way, just to prevent him from knowing the current Ye Xi country's military strength.

Since the emperor took the elixir, he has become more and more diligent in government affairs, and he has gradually paid attention to the affairs of the court. The court, which was already in chaos, has stabilized in the past few days.It has to be said that Ye Xuanli deserves to be a generation of capable kings.

After Ye Lingmo came back from Yingzhou, he started to solve the drought in Yexi country, and within a short time, it was almost resolved.Seeing that he performed well, the emperor restored his status as king and let him stay in the capital.

Ye Lingmo went to see the emperor, and wanted to bring his mother and concubine to live with him in Cheng Wang's mansion.Considering that Ye Lingmo's mother and concubine are currently assisting the queen in taking care of the harem, the emperor told Ye Lingmo that the affairs in the harem were almost handled, and then let her go to become the palace.

Unexpectedly, in the past few days, Ye Lingmo's mother and concubine died in a sudden fire in the harem.Ye Lingmo's heart ached, and he was also disheartened about his father.Fortunately, Su Yinan didn't give up, so he managed to pull himself together.

And the emperor also felt that he owed Ye Lingmo, so he gave him an extra fief and rewarded him with many other things.

After Ye Lingmo came back, many things for Su Jin were much easier to do, but the prince's party was even more uneasy because of Ye Lingmo's return.

Su Jin weighed Ye Xi's current strength and felt that if Su Heng sent troops at this time, it would definitely not be so easy to win.Although the emperor felt that he owed Ye Lingmo and wouldn't let him lead the troops, he couldn't guarantee that the crown prince would get in the way and push Ye Lingmo out.When the time comes to meet on the battlefield, there is no way to solve it.

So I told Su Heng the current situation in a letter, and asked him to wait for a while, and then send troops when the situation tilted towards him.

Unexpectedly, on the second day after the letter was sent out, news came from the palace that the emperor had relapsed again, and that he had summoned the left and right prime ministers to the imperial court.

Su Jin came to Ye Xuanli's side, looked at the sallow person on the bed, and remembered what Lang Yue told him when he came to the prime minister's mansion.The so-called elixir that improves the body and bones is actually just some medicines that are harmful to the body, plus some aphrodisiac medicines.It seems spiritual, but after a period of time, the disadvantages will be revealed.

Seeing the two of them coming, Ye Xuanli said, "The Taoist priest told Zheng this morning that this is a normal reaction to taking the elixir. This is just a elixir for nourishing the body, and there is also an elixir for immortality. The medicine is not easy to get. The Taoist priest has already gone back to get the medicinal materials, and he will come back after three months. So in these three months, the two of you have to take care of the country for Zheng, and make a decision after Zheng is ready .”

Listening to Ye Xuanli's words, Su Jin recalled what Langyue said before, that this elixir has great side effects on the body, and it is addictive, once it is stopped, it will relapse immediately.

Some Taoist priests can also refine the elixir of life, and the medicine used is also harmful to nature. Emperor Ye Xi, maybe he will go to this step.And now, Ye Xuanli is slowly taking this step.

Thinking of this, Su Jin asked: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what is the medicine cited by the Taoist priest?"

Ye Xuanli was silent for a while, before he opened his mouth and said, "It's the heart of Zheng's heir who is less than ten years old."

As soon as Ye Xuanli opened his mouth, Su Jin's body trembled, had he really reached this point?Among the heirs of the royal family, except for the child who is still in the womb, there is only Xin Wanning under the eldest princess' knee.

"Aside from this, is there no other way?" Su Jin asked anxiously.

"If it wasn't for Zheng's heir, the refined medicine would only extend one year's lifespan," Ye Xuanli said.

"This matter concerns the heirs of the royal family, please think twice, Your Majesty." Su Jin said.

"Zheng also knows, so he sent people to the workshop to find a hundred children under the age of ten. We will make a decision when the Taoist priest comes back. Zheng is tired today, you go down."

During the whole process, Zuo Cheng didn't say a word, and when Ye Xuanli let them go down, Su Jin realized that he had exposed too much in front of Zuo Cheng.

Zuo Cheng is a party of the prince, and has always been in a state of hostility with him.What the emperor said today, I don't know if the emperor himself realizes that if he starts to refine the elixir of life, future generations will definitely criticize him.What's more, it might end up ruining one's reputation for a lifetime.

Coming out of the palace, Su Jin looked at the sky in the west and let out a long sigh.

Young Master, Jin'er may ask you to bother to do some things.
