Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]
Chapter 33 Begonia Chunyan
Why did Shen Luo show surprise?Because the emperor turned out to be the previous Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu, no, the emperor raised the corners of his lips and asked, "Why, are you surprised to see Zhen?"
Shen Luo restrained his expression and bowed profusely, "No, Your Majesty's celestial appearance, forgive me for not daring to look directly at Long Yan."
The eunuchs and maids staying in the room looked at the ground without squinting, thinking in their hearts, this Shen lady is really bold, no one dared to talk about His Majesty's Long Yan in the past.
The emperor walked up to Shen Luo expressionlessly, stared at her face, and slowly walked around her, slowly putting pressure on her.
Shen Luo maintained a stiff posture, motionless.
A strange color flashed in the emperor's eyes, he cried out, then turned his back to Shen Luo, lifted the holly-colored veil and returned to the couch above.The two maids at the side walked over silently and hooked the gauze with a silver hook to remove the barrier between Shen Luo and the emperor.
The emperor picked up the paper fan on the table and tapped his left palm, and asked, "I heard that Mrs. Shen has studied a lot of medical books recently. I wonder if you can see why?"
The eunuchs and maids in the room did not look sideways, surprise flashed in their eyes, no wonder His Majesty summoned a young lady from a merchant's house, they knew each other, but they did not know when His Majesty had seen this Shen lady.
The thoughtful person took a secret look at Shen Luo, wondering if this Mrs. Shen would have a great fortune.
Shen Luo couldn't help thinking to himself, this emperor must have suffered from the poison of Gu before, otherwise he wouldn't have been paying attention to her actions all the time.
Shen Luo lowered his head again, "I want to report to Your Majesty, the girl has a clue."
The emperor let out an "oh", and then glanced at her inadvertently.
Although Shen Luo lowered her head, she still felt the hot gaze of the other party. She couldn't help being lost again, and she didn't know who dared to lay a gu on the emperor. Seeing the appearance of the gu, it stayed in the emperor's body for a long time, otherwise the emperor would Nor would he show such creepy eyes, as if hoping that she would remove the Gu from his body immediately.
She was not able to get involved in the affairs of the royal family, Shen Luo was a little hesitant as to whether to take care of it or not.Her sense of the emperor was not bad, and she really couldn't bear the untimely death of such a handsome boy.
It's okay if she can't solve it, but this matter is just a trivial matter for her. She has delayed before to avoid revealing the abnormality, and she is going to use ordinary means to solve it. She already feels very guilty. If she refuses to save him again now, She really couldn't bear it.
It was all the fault of Daoist Sun. She had changed her mind about him before, but she didn't expect that none of these Taoist priests were good, and they came to trick her one after another.
Alas, who made her a little demon with flowers and plants, her heart is too soft.
However, the original plan was all ruined after knowing that Mr. Lu was the emperor. Now it has become very difficult, because the emperor has a body-protecting dragon aura. As long as the dragon aura is not exhausted, spirits and monsters cannot touch him at all.The Gu had been in the emperor's body for a long time, so it was naturally protected by the dragon energy, so she could no longer use rough methods to deal with it.
The so-called brutal method is actually to wrap the Gu with spiritual power and get it out of the body directly. However, this method is no longer considered. If she dares to use spiritual power in the emperor's body, it will definitely attract a counterattack from the dragon energy.
Last time, when her spiritual power penetrated into the emperor's body, she didn't notice the dragon aura. It was because she was not hostile that the dragon aura didn't move.She couldn't help but feel that she was too daring before, if she attracted a counterattack from Long Qi, she would definitely be injured if she was unprepared.
The emperor covered by dragon aura is protected by the law of heaven. Whether it is a mortal warlock or a monster, as long as he is under the law of heaven, he cannot hurt the emperor. The dragon aura is naturally immune to the damage of spells.
Today is not the ancient times. Talent is the master of heaven and earth, and the master of man is also protected by heaven and earth. This is the rule and the law of the way of heaven.
"Tell me about it." The emperor gave the seat first, and a court lady moved a wooden stool. Shen Luo sat down obediently, and then sat on the stool with only half of her buttocks. Because this position was too uncomfortable, she quietly used spiritual power to move the other Half of it is also supported.
"Return to Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has probably..." She had just opened her mouth when the emperor waved his hand suddenly, and the eunuchs and maids in the room blessed their lower bodies and quietly retreated.
The emperor leaned lazily on the couch, propped his head on his left hand, and fanned casually with his right hand, "Speak."
There were only two people left in the room, Shen Luo swallowed, and continued what he had just said, "Yes, the girl read from the book a few kinds of Gu that fit your Majesty's current situation. But these kinds of Gu only have a single ability , such as causing angina pectoris, such as suppressing human fertility, etc. The Gu in His Majesty's body can not only suppress fertility, but also cause heartache and has a certain hidden ability. Minnv has not found it. So Minnv suspects This is an unprecedented new type of Gu, and it should be specially bred by someone using several types of Gu. Minnen needs His Majesty to provide some blood every once in a while, and experiment to find out which types of Gu are formed..."
The emperor's originally relaxed expression slowly turned cold.
Shen Luo shrank her neck, and continued with a strong scalp: "According to the method of Minnv before, as long as you continue to take the medicine, you can still force Gu to sleep." It's just impossible to eradicate it.
The emperor straightened up and asked, "Ms. Shen said that the prescription needs to be adjusted once a month. I wonder if you have thought about going to Beijing?"
Shen Luo shook her head, joking, her home is in Yangzhou, why go to the capital for nothing?Even the emperor was murdered. Thinking about it, you can see how chaotic the capital is. Although she thinks highly of herself, there are many talented people in the capital. It is guaranteed that no one will be able to see her details. That would be great fun.
The emperor saw that she was not happy, so he didn't continue this topic. Instead, he said: "When the first emperor was in power, the first prince died of illness for no reason. As the third son, it was not my turn to inherit the throne. It was the current empress dowager, the former imperial concubine, who took the lead. Supporting me, this is why the late emperor chose me to inherit the great line. After I ascended the throne, according to the will of the late emperor, I first ordered King Ning to rush to the fiefdom, and then within three years successively let other adult younger brothers take over. The current empress dowager Not my own mother, she has her own son, but she was young and out of the consideration of the late emperor, so the Queen Mother took a step back to support my succession. In return, I am pardoning King Wei to stay in the capital when he becomes an adult, to accompany him Empress Dowager. When the first emperor passed away, there was some chaos in the palace. I also became enlightened at that time. I have not found out who did it all these years. Lady Shen, in your opinion, if I had no heirs, who would benefit? ? Is it the queen mother and the king of Wei or other vassals?"
At first, Shen Luo didn't understand why the emperor said that, but then she gradually understood, and she cursed secretly, can she listen to these royal affairs?The emperor obviously wanted to drag her into the water.
The Emotional Emperor is not only seeking her medical skills, but also her person!
Shen Luo pretended not to understand, with a dazed expression on his face.
Seeing her like this, the emperor didn't ask her any further questions, and instead asked about the situation of the Shen family.
"I heard that the Shen family is as rich as an enemy country, and the water that is poured out is made of silver?" the emperor asked with a smile.
Shen Luo became vigilant, and carefully replied: "Return to Your Majesty, the Shen family just has some surplus money, not as exaggerated as you said!"
The emperor picked up the cup, and the emerald green buds floated in the clear green tea water like a lotus heart. Against the background of the dense and transparent white porcelain tea cup, it was very attractive. He tasted it and praised: "This Mingqian Longjing is good, better than what I drank in the palace!"
Shen Luo was covered in cold sweat, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this Longjing tea is produced by the Shen family's tea garden. Because the tea garden is too small, it only produces two or three catties a year, so it can't be evaluated as a tribute, so it is only for the family. drink."
The emperor said that this tea is better than tribute, will the Shen family dare to drink it in the future?Dare to be better than the emperor's tea, don't you want your head?
The emperor smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "Miss Shen, you don't need to be nervous, I'm just talking casually."
All dynasties and generations know that tributes are tricky. Tributes can be top-grade, but they are by no means the best. In this age of watching God's face for food, what tributes pursue is one word - stability.
Even the emperor himself knew this.
Shen Luo's scalp was numb, and she thought, what you say, the Shen family will have to kneel down!
"This teacup is also good. It looks like white porcelain from the official kiln in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi?" Then the emperor asked casually.
Shen Luo was really scared to death this time, she didn't know much about porcelain, she only knew that this white porcelain tea set was treasured by Master Shen.This time, in order to please the emperor, I specially offered it for His Majesty's use, but I didn't expect the flattery to be slapped on the horse's leg.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the crime of being disrespectful to the daughters and fathers of the people." Shen Luo searched the previous memories and learned that the porcelain fired in the official kiln, except for offering as tribute, must be destroyed, and very few of them fall into the folks , Even if it falls into the folks, it is hidden, and it is a serious crime to hide tributes.
The emperor smiled and comforted Shen Luo, "Mrs. Shen, don't worry. I just said it casually. I think this tea set is just like, not necessarily what was revealed in the official kiln. What do you think?"
"Hehe." Shen Luo laughed, and now she understood that in the eyes of the emperor, the Shen family had a lot of braids, and he could grab a lot of them.
She knew in her heart what the emperor wanted her to do, but she kept her mouth shut and resisted silently.
Seeing that the people below were still holding on, the emperor touched the glaze color on the teacup and poured a strong medicine.
"I heard that the Shen family was originally a slave of the Wang family of the salt merchants in the former dynasty. After the Wang family was wiped out by the rebels, the Shen family changed their appearance and became a rich family in Yangzhou?"
The history of the Shen family's fortune is indeed not very bright. After the fall of the Wang family, the former owner's family, they directly invaded a part of the Wang family's family property, and then slowly developed and expanded.Probably the Shen family's first bucket of gold did not look good, and they have been secretive about their ancestors all these years.
It's not a good feeling that this kind of old background is thrown away at once. Although Shen Luo doesn't have deep feelings for the Shen family, she still feels shame on her face.
Doesn't the emperor mean that he knows the details of the Shen family?
Shen Luo's heart beeped, she felt a little guilty about the emperor before, but now she wished for him to die.Didn't this person go around just to get her to volunteer?If she doesn't follow him to the capital, will he take the Shen family under his knife?
Shen Luo did not give up and said: "Your Majesty, there is an imperial physician in your palace, as long as you send the monthly pulse records to the minnv, the minnv can adjust the prescription by herself."
The emperor smiled without saying a word.
Shen Luo really wanted to break the smile on his face. This is really a wolf and a tiger. The King Ning who was eyeing the Shen family before has not been resolved, and now there is a great god. This is God who wants to let the Shen family perish. rhythm?
Shen Luo rolled his eyes, it's better to drive away the wolf and let the two fight.
"Your Majesty doesn't know something. It's not that the girls don't want to follow His Majesty into the capital, but that there are important matters at home, so please forgive me."
The emperor put the teacup on the table, obviously exhausted his patience, and said with an unhappy face: "My patience is limited, Mrs. Shen had better think it over before talking."
Shen Luo didn't seem to have heard the threat from the emperor's words, so she got up and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why women don't want to enter the capital is because the Shen family is facing a huge crisis..." She looked at the emperor's indifferent face and said: "Your Majesty, you may not know that King Ning is coveting my Shen family's property."
"Miss Shen, you must know that King Ning is a feudal lord, and you cannot frame him!" The emperor was not angry and arrogant, and Shen Luo couldn't help but feel timid in his heart.
"Your Majesty—" Shen Luo bowed, "Your Majesty, please listen to the girl."
The emperor shook his sleeves and snorted coldly, "Say it!"
Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief. She had always been very proud of being a demon, thinking that no one in the mortal world could make her succumb. However, in front of this young emperor, she couldn't help lowering her head, as if what she was facing was not a mortal but a beast. Abyss monster.
She knelt down in front of this person from the bottom of her heart. Shen Luo didn't know why she had such an idea, but she didn't have any resistance at all.
"Your Majesty, Minnv's father wanted to recruit a son-in-law..." Shen Luo felt a little cold for no reason, and continued: "Some time ago, a young talent came to our door, and Minnv's father was very happy..."
She talked about Zhang Maochun and Taoist Shanxing's visits later, "Minnv's family didn't believe in these ghost stories, and later Minnv's father discovered that both of them were related to Ning Wang's mansion, so he guessed that Ning Wang was probably plotting the Shen family's property. "
The emperor originally twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard Shen Luo say that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods. If he hadn't seen her make a move in Daming Temple before, he would still have believed these words. She is also related.
He wants her medical skills, but he also wants this person. He doesn't feel at ease to let such a living fairy live among the people.
This is probably the general heart of the ruler. Before she has gathered a large number of people's hearts, she will get people in front of her eyes first. Even if she wins people's hearts in the future, she will not be able to escape his control.
So Shen Luo didn't know at all, even if she didn't have her medical skills, she would not escape the emperor's control. In the past, the emperor thought about whether to kill her, but now that she found out that this woman had extraordinary abilities, she naturally wanted to be tied to her side.
Shen Luo didn't know that he had revealed himself a long time ago. After speaking, he looked at the emperor's silence, feeling a little flustered.
"So, this is just your guess?" the emperor asked her.
Shen Luo's kneeling legs were numb, and she moved her knee uncomfortably. When the emperor swept her away, she immediately remained motionless.
"Okay, get up." The emperor glanced at her legs and said.
Shen Luo stood up respectfully, not daring to sit back on the stool while standing.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that there is a severe drought in the south this year. There have been reports that King Ning's fiefdom has been affected by the drought. Some time ago, he purchased 20 shi of new grain from the south of the Yangtze River."
The emperor's face was cold, and his tone was cold, "The drought in the south of the Yangtze River has been kept secret, where did you know?"
Shen Luo: "Your Majesty, this matter has been spread as early as a month ago, but there hasn't been a drop of rain in the south since the vernal equinox." She knew so clearly thanks to Yingli, who knew that Yingli was going to the south Rain cloth, she specifically asked him about the range of rain cloth.
Knowing that Jiangnan got the news earlier than the court knew, the emperor's face immediately turned ugly. It can only be said that he had made a mistake in his control of the court. "King Ning's fiefdom was affected by the disaster, so it's reasonable to purchase disaster food?"
Shen Luo shook his head, "Your Majesty, before the Shen residence noticed King Ning's intentions, they were also afraid that they might misunderstand King Ning, so they sent people to investigate around Guangning, and found out that Guangning was heavily guarded and the official roads were controlled by others. Can’t get in or out. The servants found that something was wrong, so they took a long way back and found that although Guangning was also affected by the drought, only one or two counties in the southernmost area were affected, and the hardest hit was the southern part of Guangning Prefecture..."
After she said this, she stopped saying it, which obviously made the emperor think for himself what King Ning wanted to do.
King Ning has always been dissatisfied with his younger brother's succession to the throne, and kept making small moves in private. The emperor knew about it, so he was not surprised to hear the news from Shen Luo.
King Ning's purchase of grain and grass at this time is not to help the court provide disaster relief, right?
King Ning's behavior is as well known as Sima Zhaozhi's heart, but Hu first swept away a batch of food and grass, delaying the speed of the court's disaster relief, or perhaps instigating the victims to revolt, he can fish in troubled waters.
If he is not prepared, the emperor may suffer a great loss. Even if the uprising is extinguished, the country's vitality will be severely damaged. The hungry wolves on the grassland are always spying on the Central Plains, so they will inevitably not take advantage of the fire to loot.
But now that he knew it, he was on guard, so he wouldn't be too passive.
Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Shen Luo felt uneasy.
"Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty can help the Shen family resist King Ning's schemes, the women are willing to follow His Majesty into Beijing until they help His Majesty get rid of the poison."
After hearing what she said, the emperor came back to his senses. It was the first time he found a woman who was so sensitive to political affairs, and the emperor became more and more worried about putting her in the folk.
He walked down, walked in front of Shen Luo, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, "Miss Shen, I have a good idea here, as long as you are willing to enter the palace with me, I can guarantee that no one will dare to touch Shen's house again."
Entering the capital and entering the palace have two different meanings. Shen Luo did not expect that the emperor who only allowed her to enter the capital before would suddenly want her to enter the palace in the name of letting her be his woman.
Shen Luo didn't want to, her eyelashes trembled, and her voice trembled as she replied: "It's a blessing for a civilian girl to be able to catch His Majesty's eyes. It's just that the Shen family has only one heir of a civilian girl. You can't break the Shen family's bloodline." So, you should just let me go!
The emperor put down his hands, turned his back to her, and said happily: "It's easy to handle. If you give birth to a son for me in the future, you can choose a son to inherit the Shen family's surname." No one can tell what will happen afterwards.
Shen Luo's heart suddenly felt as if a group of horses had stepped over it. Did he intend to tie her up?Does it mean that if he is not cured, the Shen family will also lose their children and grandchildren?
"Your Majesty, a commoner girl's family background is low, I'm afraid she can't enter the palace." She declined with a headache.
The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up, and he turned to see her contemplating how to refuse, his peach blossom eyes flashed with a smile, "It's okay, as the emperor, no one will make irresponsible remarks to anyone who enters the palace. Even if your status is low , there is no need to worry, I will not despise you."
Shen Luo complained, what does it mean not to dislike her?Is this what people say?After all, she is also a monster, how can she get involved with mortals, even if this mortal is the emperor!
In Shen Luo's subconscious mind, mortals and monsters will never end well together, this iron law is deeply engraved deep in her soul.
"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, but I have no intention of entering the palace." She stated directly.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "I allow you to think about it now." He paused, as if talking to himself, "I don't know what crime it is to be a fugitive slave and occupy the property of the master's family?"
Shen Luo said angrily: "Your Majesty, I promise you it's not enough!" Now she doesn't call herself a civilian girl anymore, it's better if he has an opinion!
The emperor nodded and said reservedly: "In this case, you go back and prepare! When I leave, you will also leave with me."
Shen Luo casually left.
"Wait..." Shen Luo just turned around, but was stopped by the emperor again.
Shen Luo glared at him angrily, the emperor smiled and said: "Remember not to startle the snake, I allow you to handle the matter of King Ning yourself."
Shen Luo's bulging face couldn't hold back anymore, she stared at him with wide eyes, "Your Majesty means that I can deal with King Ning?"
The emperor knew how to slap a date, so he said: "Not yet, when the drought in the south is over, I don't care how you deal with King Ning."
After such hard and soft actions, Shen Luo's depression disappeared, and she said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling Your Majesty the good news. There will be heavy rain in the disaster area in the south." Without waiting for the emperor to ask, she walked out quickly run.
The emperor was startled when he got the news, and quickly called for the accompanying officials to come in. This is really good news, and if it works properly, King Ning will suffer a lot!
Shen Luo ran out of the courtyard, but was caught by Master Shen who was waiting outside the courtyard, "Daughter, why did His Majesty tell you to go there?"
Could it be that he fell in love with his daughter?Master Shen was flustered, he only had this one daughter now, if he was selected into the palace, he would never see her again, and the Shen family would be cut off.
Shen Luo withdrew the arm that was grabbed by Master Shen, "Daddy, go back first." She looked around and kept looking at her, and hurriedly dragged Master Shen away.
After returning to Shen Luo's courtyard, Shen Luo told Master Shen everything he had said to the emperor before. He thought that Master Shen would be sad about her entering the palace, but he was so happy.
"Daughter, Your Majesty really said that you will allow your child to have the surname Shen in the future?" Master Shen seemed to be hit by a huge surprise, and his whole body seemed to fall into a dream.
Shen Luo didn't expect that Master Shen would react like this after she said it. She was shocked, she was paralyzed, and tears were about to flow down her cheeks.
"Prince, won't my Shen family also become a king and a marquis in the future?" Even if the prince inherits the Shen family's surname, he is still a prince, and the emperor will never be stingy in conferring a title on his own son. It's a step up to the sky, from a mere merchant to a royal aristocrat!
No one can change the court as quickly as the Shen family!
Don't say Master Shen is reluctant to part with his daughter, if he is a woman himself, he can't wait to play by himself!
The emperor's agreement hit the itch of Master Shen's heart. Anyway, it is his daughter's child, and the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders. He is happy to give the Shen family's property to his grandson.
If his grandson were the prince, he would die of joy!
Because of the information informed by Shen Luo, the emperor became busy.
Since Shen Luo agreed to the emperor's business, it became the top priority to solve the Gu in his body first.
If he wanted to solve the emperor's problem, he needed to know what kind of Gu he had. Shen Luo had to get several different kinds of Gu himself before he could experiment.
No one else can help her solve this matter, and the emperor can't help her either. Shen Luo can only come by herself, and she decides to raise Gu by herself.
After hundreds of years in the Shen Mansion, no one has counted how many books there are. Probably because of their status, the previous owners of the Shen Mansion were somewhat inferior and could only desperately collect all kinds of books to cover up their flaws.
However, several generations of the Shen family didn't like reading, they were all interested in doing business, so they collected a large number of books and only used them for decoration.Among the Shen family members, Shen Hanqing was probably the only one who read the most books. Now it was Shen Luo, she had the spiritual power to cheat, reading books was like playing, and she could basically memorize them at a glance.
After reading the basic medical scriptures and Gu scriptures, Shen Luo had a general understanding of how to raise Gu. She went out of the mansion this day and originally didn't want to take anyone with her, but in the end she was defeated by Master Shen's nagging and took four servants out.
However, as soon as Shen Luo went out, he found that there were two more tails behind him.For the sake of the other party's lack of hostility, she pretended not to see it, and knew that the two tails must have been arranged by the emperor.
First, I had someone drive a carriage to the West Market, and bought five pottery pots from a pottery shop, about half the height of an arm, usually used to pickle salted eggs or pickles.
It was useful for Shen Luo to buy these. She asked her servants to move the clay pots into the carriage, then found a bookstore, bought a few pieces of yellow mounting paper for the shop assistant to cut out, and picked out a fine brush and an inkstone for a total of I paid five taels of silver, including four taels of silver for the inkstone, and bought half a catty of 30-year-old cinnabar at the pharmacy.
The cinnabar used to draw talismans is naturally the older the better, and the longer the cinnabar settles, the more spiritual power it can hold.
However, medicinal use is the other way around, basically the newer the better, because after a long period of storage, the color will change, not to mention the efficacy of the medicine, but most of these things are bought by Taoist temples, and they are used to draw symbols, consecration, etc. necessities.
When Shen Luo went to the pharmacy to buy cinnabar, he asked for a longer period of time. The pharmacy rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found half a catty of cinnabar that had been stored for 30 years.
After buying the cinnabar, Shen Luo directly asked his family to drive the carriage to the mass grave outside the city.
The mass burial site is located ten miles north of Yangzhou City. The corpses that are not collected on weekdays are thrown here. There are only a few incomplete tombstones in the mass burial site. Most of them have been lying on the ground. There was a hastily buried corpse that was pulled out of the soil by wild dogs, and pieces of it were scattered on the soil incompletely. On a hot day, there was a foul smell, and flies were flying around in circles. There is a surge of white stuff.
The servants were vomited by the smell from a distance, and when they approached and saw this scene, they couldn't help but ran aside and vomited.
Shen Luo's sense of smell separated by spiritual power early on, she slapped the ground, and the body was immediately re-buried by the soil, but more rotten bones were exposed on the ground.
Shen Luo sighed, and stomped his feet vigorously again. This time the soil turned deeper, and a large piece of dead bones fell into the deep pit and was covered by the soil.
The servants were still vomiting, and Shen Luo didn't ask them to help. He moved a clay pot from the carriage by himself. As soon as he moved one, the servants ran over to help move it, but Shen Luo stopped him, "Only move one Clay pots are fine, you go to the small river next to them to get some water." Shen Luo threw the lid of the pot to them.
When the four servants heard this, they divided into two teams, one of which guarded Shen Luo, and the other went to fetch water.
The reason why the water here is used is because the talisman drawn this time is different from the last time. This time she drew the yin-gathering talisman. Naturally, water with a heavy yin energy was used to reconcile the cinnabar talisman. Is the water near the hill more suitable?
While waiting for his servants to fetch water, Shen Luo glanced at the location of the mass grave, and muttered to himself, "Golden wood, water, fire and soil, this place is located in the north, North Xuanwu, Xuanwu has the main water, so it's good that the Gu cultivated in this way also contains water. Attributes."
At this time, the servant also took back the water, Shen Luo took the lid of the clay pot, poured some water into the inkstone, squeezed some cinnabar and ground it with water, and then drew a few yin-gathering talismans with the cut yellow mounting paper , I didn’t draw too much, just five, exactly corresponding to five clay pots.
Shen Luo called for servants. She walked a few steps around the mass grave, muttering non-stop, then stopped to pick up branches, and drew a circle on the ground for the servants to start digging.
The four servants were not disturbed by the smell and the bloody scene, and they finally returned to normal. They dug the hole with a shovel a few times. Shen Luo looked at it, put the pot in it, and nodded in satisfaction.
Then she cut her finger, dripped a drop of blood on a talisman, and then held the talisman paper in front of her eyebrows and recited a spell silently. The talisman paper that was still burning was put into the clay pot and led the servants back.
After a while, rustling sounds came from the surroundings, and the four servants were still a little strange. The next scene was unforgettable for them all their lives.
"Snakes, there are snakes, so many snakes!" One of the four servants suddenly yelled at the top of his voice, and backed away with a yell.
I saw four or five snakes coming out of the grass in front of us. The heads of these snakes were all triangular, indicating that each snake was highly poisonous.
"Mother, lady, let's leave quickly, or it will be too late." One of the servants said nervously to Shen Luo, shaking his legs.
Shen Luo didn't look back, just stared at the pot and said, "Don't worry, these snakes won't come over."
Before he finished speaking, the servant saw those poisonous snakes eagerly burrowing into the pot.
But the next more spectacular thing happened in front of several people. They saw poisonous snakes and venomous insects running out of the grass, under the stones, in the soil, and the skeletons. What attracts them, wave after wave, no one escaped after entering the clay pot, and the first to enter too many began to kill each other.
I don't know if the snakes eat the worms or the worms besiege the snakes. Although the snakes and insects keep dying, more will be added later.
Seeing that the clay pots in the pit were densely packed with poisonous insects and snakes, superimposed on each other and kept drilling into the inside, some people couldn't bear it and vomited again.
Shen Luo waited for a while, seeing fewer and fewer poisonous insects and snakes coming, she exhaled, thinking that all the nearby poisonous insects and snakes had been wiped out, so she walked over.
The servants watched nervously, fearing that she would be bitten by those poisonous insects and snakes.
However, when Shen Luo walked over, a shocking scene appeared, those poisonous snakes and insects actually pretended that she didn't exist, walked around her feet, and continued to run towards the clay pot.
In fact, there is a reason for this. Shen Luo is a flower and grass, and naturally has the scent of flowers and plants. No poisonous snake or insect will attack the weeds on the roadside for no reason.
It was for this reason that these poisonous insects and snakes turned a blind eye to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo covered the earthenware pot, and soon the aura that attracted the snakes and insects disappeared, and the snakes and insects seemed to have regained their sanity, and immediately collapsed and burrowed into the soil, and disappeared into the grass.
Shen Luo took the shovel from the servants, covered it with a thin layer of soil, and then led the servants away.
In addition to the mass graves, she also went to barren mountains, wild mountains, abandoned stone bridges, and abandoned temples on this day, repeating all the things she had done in the mass graves.
The servants who followed Shen Luo were already numb. They had seen too many poisonous insects and snakes. The goosebumps on their bodies disappeared and reappeared. Everyone felt that they had suffered from dense phobia. As long as they saw insects I'm going to be shocked, and I won't be able to go to work for a short time.
After Shen Luo went back, he gave a few people leave and rewarded each of them ten taels of silver to appease their fragile hearts, and then quickly went back to the yard to ask for water to take a bath.
The two hidden guards who followed Shen Luo had also reshaped the three views today. After Shen Luo returned to the courtyard, the two looked at each other, leaving one guarding outside the courtyard, while the other hurriedly reported today's events to the emperor.
The emperor was reviewing the memorial, and when he heard the report from the secret guard, he finished reviewing the memorial in his hand before replying, "Got it."
After finishing the work in hand, it was already dark, the emperor pinched the bridge of his nose, let the eunuch carry the memorial down, and then ordered someone to prepare dinner.
"Invite Mrs. Shen over to have a meal with me." The emperor suddenly ordered the eunuch beside him.
As the chief eunuch next to the emperor, He Xu naturally took care of the most important matters around the emperor.
He was sent by the emperor to send the minister to the court for disaster relief, and when he came back, he also heard from the little eunuch that the emperor treated the lady of Shen's mansion differently, and he wanted to bring him back to the palace.
He Xu knew that there was a lot of inside information. His Majesty probably wanted to lure someone into the palace and help him suppress the Gu poison nearby. It would be best if he could get rid of it. This alone deserves He Xu's respect for Mrs. Shen.
When the emperor sent someone over, Shen Luo was lying comfortably on the couch and asked Qing He to pinch her legs. Hearing the reports from the maids, she quickly got up, changed into light clothes, combed her hair casually, and went out to meet the envoy.
"It's you!" Shen Luo was surprised to see the person coming, "I've seen you in Qionghua Temple."
Shen Luo recognized this person at a glance. He was standing behind the emperor in Qionghua Temple before, and she had heard the emperor call him He Xu.
He Xu replied with a smile: "Miss Shen, Your Majesty has sent servants over to invite Madam Shen to have a meal together."
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo said, "Let's go now, I just have something to tell Your Majesty."
When I saw the emperor, he was sitting at the table reading a book, and a dozen candles were lit in the room, shining like daylight.
Shen Luo saluted, and the emperor put down his book and beckoned her over.
She walked over, and the emperor pointed to the stool next to her for her to sit on. When she sat down, he asked, "I heard that you traveled to several places today?"
Shen Luo nodded, "Well, I'm going to raise the Gu myself, and it will take five days to complete. After the Gu is developed, I can take your blood for a test." She is not afraid of the Emperor now, so what about the Emperor? She didn't expect her to save her life, and of course she didn't regard him as her future husband, but positioned the two of them as a cooperative relationship.
She is responsible for helping her get rid of Gu poison, and he is her backer, letting her do her best to revenge.
In fact, Shen Luo also had an idea of her own, as long as she solved King Ning, it would be equivalent to fulfilling Shen Hanqing's wish, but if she solved the emperor's Gu, she would be able to fly freely.
As for the heir that Master Shen wants, when the time comes, she will look for some elixir to concoct alchemy, so that Master Shen can definitely have a son. There seems to be a kind of elixir in my memory that is specially used to give birth to children. By the way, what is the name of that elixir?
The emperor nodded, "Okay, I will drive to Suzhou in six days, you need to prepare."
Hearing this sentence, Shen Luo's thoughts turned from the pill, and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect it to be so fast, that is to say, she could only stay at home for six days?
This time is too short, why not ask the emperor and let him go to Suzhou by himself, and when he returns to the palace, she will go directly to the capital?
The emperor saw that she was absent-minded, so he didn't continue this topic, and ordered the eunuch beside him to serve the meal.
She could only keep this thought in her mind, and glanced at the books the emperor put on the table inadvertently. After the emperor found out, he immediately handed it to her, "I have heard that the collection of books in Shenfu's library is the largest in Yangzhou. When I first saw it, it really lived up to its reputation, like this solitary copy of "Cao Lan Terrace" written by the former celebrity Gao Lan Rover, but there is no such thing as even in the palace."
Shen Luo didn't know how to answer, she kept peeking at him, what did the emperor mean by this?
After thinking about it, Shen Luo replied, "If Your Majesty likes it, just take it." She really doesn't care about books.
The emperor shook his head, "I can't take things from the Shen residence at will." Just take whatever you fancy
Mr. Lu, no, the emperor raised the corners of his lips and asked, "Why, are you surprised to see Zhen?"
Shen Luo restrained his expression and bowed profusely, "No, Your Majesty's celestial appearance, forgive me for not daring to look directly at Long Yan."
The eunuchs and maids staying in the room looked at the ground without squinting, thinking in their hearts, this Shen lady is really bold, no one dared to talk about His Majesty's Long Yan in the past.
The emperor walked up to Shen Luo expressionlessly, stared at her face, and slowly walked around her, slowly putting pressure on her.
Shen Luo maintained a stiff posture, motionless.
A strange color flashed in the emperor's eyes, he cried out, then turned his back to Shen Luo, lifted the holly-colored veil and returned to the couch above.The two maids at the side walked over silently and hooked the gauze with a silver hook to remove the barrier between Shen Luo and the emperor.
The emperor picked up the paper fan on the table and tapped his left palm, and asked, "I heard that Mrs. Shen has studied a lot of medical books recently. I wonder if you can see why?"
The eunuchs and maids in the room did not look sideways, surprise flashed in their eyes, no wonder His Majesty summoned a young lady from a merchant's house, they knew each other, but they did not know when His Majesty had seen this Shen lady.
The thoughtful person took a secret look at Shen Luo, wondering if this Mrs. Shen would have a great fortune.
Shen Luo couldn't help thinking to himself, this emperor must have suffered from the poison of Gu before, otherwise he wouldn't have been paying attention to her actions all the time.
Shen Luo lowered his head again, "I want to report to Your Majesty, the girl has a clue."
The emperor let out an "oh", and then glanced at her inadvertently.
Although Shen Luo lowered her head, she still felt the hot gaze of the other party. She couldn't help being lost again, and she didn't know who dared to lay a gu on the emperor. Seeing the appearance of the gu, it stayed in the emperor's body for a long time, otherwise the emperor would Nor would he show such creepy eyes, as if hoping that she would remove the Gu from his body immediately.
She was not able to get involved in the affairs of the royal family, Shen Luo was a little hesitant as to whether to take care of it or not.Her sense of the emperor was not bad, and she really couldn't bear the untimely death of such a handsome boy.
It's okay if she can't solve it, but this matter is just a trivial matter for her. She has delayed before to avoid revealing the abnormality, and she is going to use ordinary means to solve it. She already feels very guilty. If she refuses to save him again now, She really couldn't bear it.
It was all the fault of Daoist Sun. She had changed her mind about him before, but she didn't expect that none of these Taoist priests were good, and they came to trick her one after another.
Alas, who made her a little demon with flowers and plants, her heart is too soft.
However, the original plan was all ruined after knowing that Mr. Lu was the emperor. Now it has become very difficult, because the emperor has a body-protecting dragon aura. As long as the dragon aura is not exhausted, spirits and monsters cannot touch him at all.The Gu had been in the emperor's body for a long time, so it was naturally protected by the dragon energy, so she could no longer use rough methods to deal with it.
The so-called brutal method is actually to wrap the Gu with spiritual power and get it out of the body directly. However, this method is no longer considered. If she dares to use spiritual power in the emperor's body, it will definitely attract a counterattack from the dragon energy.
Last time, when her spiritual power penetrated into the emperor's body, she didn't notice the dragon aura. It was because she was not hostile that the dragon aura didn't move.She couldn't help but feel that she was too daring before, if she attracted a counterattack from Long Qi, she would definitely be injured if she was unprepared.
The emperor covered by dragon aura is protected by the law of heaven. Whether it is a mortal warlock or a monster, as long as he is under the law of heaven, he cannot hurt the emperor. The dragon aura is naturally immune to the damage of spells.
Today is not the ancient times. Talent is the master of heaven and earth, and the master of man is also protected by heaven and earth. This is the rule and the law of the way of heaven.
"Tell me about it." The emperor gave the seat first, and a court lady moved a wooden stool. Shen Luo sat down obediently, and then sat on the stool with only half of her buttocks. Because this position was too uncomfortable, she quietly used spiritual power to move the other Half of it is also supported.
"Return to Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has probably..." She had just opened her mouth when the emperor waved his hand suddenly, and the eunuchs and maids in the room blessed their lower bodies and quietly retreated.
The emperor leaned lazily on the couch, propped his head on his left hand, and fanned casually with his right hand, "Speak."
There were only two people left in the room, Shen Luo swallowed, and continued what he had just said, "Yes, the girl read from the book a few kinds of Gu that fit your Majesty's current situation. But these kinds of Gu only have a single ability , such as causing angina pectoris, such as suppressing human fertility, etc. The Gu in His Majesty's body can not only suppress fertility, but also cause heartache and has a certain hidden ability. Minnv has not found it. So Minnv suspects This is an unprecedented new type of Gu, and it should be specially bred by someone using several types of Gu. Minnen needs His Majesty to provide some blood every once in a while, and experiment to find out which types of Gu are formed..."
The emperor's originally relaxed expression slowly turned cold.
Shen Luo shrank her neck, and continued with a strong scalp: "According to the method of Minnv before, as long as you continue to take the medicine, you can still force Gu to sleep." It's just impossible to eradicate it.
The emperor straightened up and asked, "Ms. Shen said that the prescription needs to be adjusted once a month. I wonder if you have thought about going to Beijing?"
Shen Luo shook her head, joking, her home is in Yangzhou, why go to the capital for nothing?Even the emperor was murdered. Thinking about it, you can see how chaotic the capital is. Although she thinks highly of herself, there are many talented people in the capital. It is guaranteed that no one will be able to see her details. That would be great fun.
The emperor saw that she was not happy, so he didn't continue this topic. Instead, he said: "When the first emperor was in power, the first prince died of illness for no reason. As the third son, it was not my turn to inherit the throne. It was the current empress dowager, the former imperial concubine, who took the lead. Supporting me, this is why the late emperor chose me to inherit the great line. After I ascended the throne, according to the will of the late emperor, I first ordered King Ning to rush to the fiefdom, and then within three years successively let other adult younger brothers take over. The current empress dowager Not my own mother, she has her own son, but she was young and out of the consideration of the late emperor, so the Queen Mother took a step back to support my succession. In return, I am pardoning King Wei to stay in the capital when he becomes an adult, to accompany him Empress Dowager. When the first emperor passed away, there was some chaos in the palace. I also became enlightened at that time. I have not found out who did it all these years. Lady Shen, in your opinion, if I had no heirs, who would benefit? ? Is it the queen mother and the king of Wei or other vassals?"
At first, Shen Luo didn't understand why the emperor said that, but then she gradually understood, and she cursed secretly, can she listen to these royal affairs?The emperor obviously wanted to drag her into the water.
The Emotional Emperor is not only seeking her medical skills, but also her person!
Shen Luo pretended not to understand, with a dazed expression on his face.
Seeing her like this, the emperor didn't ask her any further questions, and instead asked about the situation of the Shen family.
"I heard that the Shen family is as rich as an enemy country, and the water that is poured out is made of silver?" the emperor asked with a smile.
Shen Luo became vigilant, and carefully replied: "Return to Your Majesty, the Shen family just has some surplus money, not as exaggerated as you said!"
The emperor picked up the cup, and the emerald green buds floated in the clear green tea water like a lotus heart. Against the background of the dense and transparent white porcelain tea cup, it was very attractive. He tasted it and praised: "This Mingqian Longjing is good, better than what I drank in the palace!"
Shen Luo was covered in cold sweat, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this Longjing tea is produced by the Shen family's tea garden. Because the tea garden is too small, it only produces two or three catties a year, so it can't be evaluated as a tribute, so it is only for the family. drink."
The emperor said that this tea is better than tribute, will the Shen family dare to drink it in the future?Dare to be better than the emperor's tea, don't you want your head?
The emperor smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "Miss Shen, you don't need to be nervous, I'm just talking casually."
All dynasties and generations know that tributes are tricky. Tributes can be top-grade, but they are by no means the best. In this age of watching God's face for food, what tributes pursue is one word - stability.
Even the emperor himself knew this.
Shen Luo's scalp was numb, and she thought, what you say, the Shen family will have to kneel down!
"This teacup is also good. It looks like white porcelain from the official kiln in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi?" Then the emperor asked casually.
Shen Luo was really scared to death this time, she didn't know much about porcelain, she only knew that this white porcelain tea set was treasured by Master Shen.This time, in order to please the emperor, I specially offered it for His Majesty's use, but I didn't expect the flattery to be slapped on the horse's leg.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the crime of being disrespectful to the daughters and fathers of the people." Shen Luo searched the previous memories and learned that the porcelain fired in the official kiln, except for offering as tribute, must be destroyed, and very few of them fall into the folks , Even if it falls into the folks, it is hidden, and it is a serious crime to hide tributes.
The emperor smiled and comforted Shen Luo, "Mrs. Shen, don't worry. I just said it casually. I think this tea set is just like, not necessarily what was revealed in the official kiln. What do you think?"
"Hehe." Shen Luo laughed, and now she understood that in the eyes of the emperor, the Shen family had a lot of braids, and he could grab a lot of them.
She knew in her heart what the emperor wanted her to do, but she kept her mouth shut and resisted silently.
Seeing that the people below were still holding on, the emperor touched the glaze color on the teacup and poured a strong medicine.
"I heard that the Shen family was originally a slave of the Wang family of the salt merchants in the former dynasty. After the Wang family was wiped out by the rebels, the Shen family changed their appearance and became a rich family in Yangzhou?"
The history of the Shen family's fortune is indeed not very bright. After the fall of the Wang family, the former owner's family, they directly invaded a part of the Wang family's family property, and then slowly developed and expanded.Probably the Shen family's first bucket of gold did not look good, and they have been secretive about their ancestors all these years.
It's not a good feeling that this kind of old background is thrown away at once. Although Shen Luo doesn't have deep feelings for the Shen family, she still feels shame on her face.
Doesn't the emperor mean that he knows the details of the Shen family?
Shen Luo's heart beeped, she felt a little guilty about the emperor before, but now she wished for him to die.Didn't this person go around just to get her to volunteer?If she doesn't follow him to the capital, will he take the Shen family under his knife?
Shen Luo did not give up and said: "Your Majesty, there is an imperial physician in your palace, as long as you send the monthly pulse records to the minnv, the minnv can adjust the prescription by herself."
The emperor smiled without saying a word.
Shen Luo really wanted to break the smile on his face. This is really a wolf and a tiger. The King Ning who was eyeing the Shen family before has not been resolved, and now there is a great god. This is God who wants to let the Shen family perish. rhythm?
Shen Luo rolled his eyes, it's better to drive away the wolf and let the two fight.
"Your Majesty doesn't know something. It's not that the girls don't want to follow His Majesty into the capital, but that there are important matters at home, so please forgive me."
The emperor put the teacup on the table, obviously exhausted his patience, and said with an unhappy face: "My patience is limited, Mrs. Shen had better think it over before talking."
Shen Luo didn't seem to have heard the threat from the emperor's words, so she got up and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why women don't want to enter the capital is because the Shen family is facing a huge crisis..." She looked at the emperor's indifferent face and said: "Your Majesty, you may not know that King Ning is coveting my Shen family's property."
"Miss Shen, you must know that King Ning is a feudal lord, and you cannot frame him!" The emperor was not angry and arrogant, and Shen Luo couldn't help but feel timid in his heart.
"Your Majesty—" Shen Luo bowed, "Your Majesty, please listen to the girl."
The emperor shook his sleeves and snorted coldly, "Say it!"
Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief. She had always been very proud of being a demon, thinking that no one in the mortal world could make her succumb. However, in front of this young emperor, she couldn't help lowering her head, as if what she was facing was not a mortal but a beast. Abyss monster.
She knelt down in front of this person from the bottom of her heart. Shen Luo didn't know why she had such an idea, but she didn't have any resistance at all.
"Your Majesty, Minnv's father wanted to recruit a son-in-law..." Shen Luo felt a little cold for no reason, and continued: "Some time ago, a young talent came to our door, and Minnv's father was very happy..."
She talked about Zhang Maochun and Taoist Shanxing's visits later, "Minnv's family didn't believe in these ghost stories, and later Minnv's father discovered that both of them were related to Ning Wang's mansion, so he guessed that Ning Wang was probably plotting the Shen family's property. "
The emperor originally twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard Shen Luo say that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods. If he hadn't seen her make a move in Daming Temple before, he would still have believed these words. She is also related.
He wants her medical skills, but he also wants this person. He doesn't feel at ease to let such a living fairy live among the people.
This is probably the general heart of the ruler. Before she has gathered a large number of people's hearts, she will get people in front of her eyes first. Even if she wins people's hearts in the future, she will not be able to escape his control.
So Shen Luo didn't know at all, even if she didn't have her medical skills, she would not escape the emperor's control. In the past, the emperor thought about whether to kill her, but now that she found out that this woman had extraordinary abilities, she naturally wanted to be tied to her side.
Shen Luo didn't know that he had revealed himself a long time ago. After speaking, he looked at the emperor's silence, feeling a little flustered.
"So, this is just your guess?" the emperor asked her.
Shen Luo's kneeling legs were numb, and she moved her knee uncomfortably. When the emperor swept her away, she immediately remained motionless.
"Okay, get up." The emperor glanced at her legs and said.
Shen Luo stood up respectfully, not daring to sit back on the stool while standing.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that there is a severe drought in the south this year. There have been reports that King Ning's fiefdom has been affected by the drought. Some time ago, he purchased 20 shi of new grain from the south of the Yangtze River."
The emperor's face was cold, and his tone was cold, "The drought in the south of the Yangtze River has been kept secret, where did you know?"
Shen Luo: "Your Majesty, this matter has been spread as early as a month ago, but there hasn't been a drop of rain in the south since the vernal equinox." She knew so clearly thanks to Yingli, who knew that Yingli was going to the south Rain cloth, she specifically asked him about the range of rain cloth.
Knowing that Jiangnan got the news earlier than the court knew, the emperor's face immediately turned ugly. It can only be said that he had made a mistake in his control of the court. "King Ning's fiefdom was affected by the disaster, so it's reasonable to purchase disaster food?"
Shen Luo shook his head, "Your Majesty, before the Shen residence noticed King Ning's intentions, they were also afraid that they might misunderstand King Ning, so they sent people to investigate around Guangning, and found out that Guangning was heavily guarded and the official roads were controlled by others. Can’t get in or out. The servants found that something was wrong, so they took a long way back and found that although Guangning was also affected by the drought, only one or two counties in the southernmost area were affected, and the hardest hit was the southern part of Guangning Prefecture..."
After she said this, she stopped saying it, which obviously made the emperor think for himself what King Ning wanted to do.
King Ning has always been dissatisfied with his younger brother's succession to the throne, and kept making small moves in private. The emperor knew about it, so he was not surprised to hear the news from Shen Luo.
King Ning's purchase of grain and grass at this time is not to help the court provide disaster relief, right?
King Ning's behavior is as well known as Sima Zhaozhi's heart, but Hu first swept away a batch of food and grass, delaying the speed of the court's disaster relief, or perhaps instigating the victims to revolt, he can fish in troubled waters.
If he is not prepared, the emperor may suffer a great loss. Even if the uprising is extinguished, the country's vitality will be severely damaged. The hungry wolves on the grassland are always spying on the Central Plains, so they will inevitably not take advantage of the fire to loot.
But now that he knew it, he was on guard, so he wouldn't be too passive.
Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Shen Luo felt uneasy.
"Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty can help the Shen family resist King Ning's schemes, the women are willing to follow His Majesty into Beijing until they help His Majesty get rid of the poison."
After hearing what she said, the emperor came back to his senses. It was the first time he found a woman who was so sensitive to political affairs, and the emperor became more and more worried about putting her in the folk.
He walked down, walked in front of Shen Luo, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, "Miss Shen, I have a good idea here, as long as you are willing to enter the palace with me, I can guarantee that no one will dare to touch Shen's house again."
Entering the capital and entering the palace have two different meanings. Shen Luo did not expect that the emperor who only allowed her to enter the capital before would suddenly want her to enter the palace in the name of letting her be his woman.
Shen Luo didn't want to, her eyelashes trembled, and her voice trembled as she replied: "It's a blessing for a civilian girl to be able to catch His Majesty's eyes. It's just that the Shen family has only one heir of a civilian girl. You can't break the Shen family's bloodline." So, you should just let me go!
The emperor put down his hands, turned his back to her, and said happily: "It's easy to handle. If you give birth to a son for me in the future, you can choose a son to inherit the Shen family's surname." No one can tell what will happen afterwards.
Shen Luo's heart suddenly felt as if a group of horses had stepped over it. Did he intend to tie her up?Does it mean that if he is not cured, the Shen family will also lose their children and grandchildren?
"Your Majesty, a commoner girl's family background is low, I'm afraid she can't enter the palace." She declined with a headache.
The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up, and he turned to see her contemplating how to refuse, his peach blossom eyes flashed with a smile, "It's okay, as the emperor, no one will make irresponsible remarks to anyone who enters the palace. Even if your status is low , there is no need to worry, I will not despise you."
Shen Luo complained, what does it mean not to dislike her?Is this what people say?After all, she is also a monster, how can she get involved with mortals, even if this mortal is the emperor!
In Shen Luo's subconscious mind, mortals and monsters will never end well together, this iron law is deeply engraved deep in her soul.
"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, but I have no intention of entering the palace." She stated directly.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "I allow you to think about it now." He paused, as if talking to himself, "I don't know what crime it is to be a fugitive slave and occupy the property of the master's family?"
Shen Luo said angrily: "Your Majesty, I promise you it's not enough!" Now she doesn't call herself a civilian girl anymore, it's better if he has an opinion!
The emperor nodded and said reservedly: "In this case, you go back and prepare! When I leave, you will also leave with me."
Shen Luo casually left.
"Wait..." Shen Luo just turned around, but was stopped by the emperor again.
Shen Luo glared at him angrily, the emperor smiled and said: "Remember not to startle the snake, I allow you to handle the matter of King Ning yourself."
Shen Luo's bulging face couldn't hold back anymore, she stared at him with wide eyes, "Your Majesty means that I can deal with King Ning?"
The emperor knew how to slap a date, so he said: "Not yet, when the drought in the south is over, I don't care how you deal with King Ning."
After such hard and soft actions, Shen Luo's depression disappeared, and she said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling Your Majesty the good news. There will be heavy rain in the disaster area in the south." Without waiting for the emperor to ask, she walked out quickly run.
The emperor was startled when he got the news, and quickly called for the accompanying officials to come in. This is really good news, and if it works properly, King Ning will suffer a lot!
Shen Luo ran out of the courtyard, but was caught by Master Shen who was waiting outside the courtyard, "Daughter, why did His Majesty tell you to go there?"
Could it be that he fell in love with his daughter?Master Shen was flustered, he only had this one daughter now, if he was selected into the palace, he would never see her again, and the Shen family would be cut off.
Shen Luo withdrew the arm that was grabbed by Master Shen, "Daddy, go back first." She looked around and kept looking at her, and hurriedly dragged Master Shen away.
After returning to Shen Luo's courtyard, Shen Luo told Master Shen everything he had said to the emperor before. He thought that Master Shen would be sad about her entering the palace, but he was so happy.
"Daughter, Your Majesty really said that you will allow your child to have the surname Shen in the future?" Master Shen seemed to be hit by a huge surprise, and his whole body seemed to fall into a dream.
Shen Luo didn't expect that Master Shen would react like this after she said it. She was shocked, she was paralyzed, and tears were about to flow down her cheeks.
"Prince, won't my Shen family also become a king and a marquis in the future?" Even if the prince inherits the Shen family's surname, he is still a prince, and the emperor will never be stingy in conferring a title on his own son. It's a step up to the sky, from a mere merchant to a royal aristocrat!
No one can change the court as quickly as the Shen family!
Don't say Master Shen is reluctant to part with his daughter, if he is a woman himself, he can't wait to play by himself!
The emperor's agreement hit the itch of Master Shen's heart. Anyway, it is his daughter's child, and the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders. He is happy to give the Shen family's property to his grandson.
If his grandson were the prince, he would die of joy!
Because of the information informed by Shen Luo, the emperor became busy.
Since Shen Luo agreed to the emperor's business, it became the top priority to solve the Gu in his body first.
If he wanted to solve the emperor's problem, he needed to know what kind of Gu he had. Shen Luo had to get several different kinds of Gu himself before he could experiment.
No one else can help her solve this matter, and the emperor can't help her either. Shen Luo can only come by herself, and she decides to raise Gu by herself.
After hundreds of years in the Shen Mansion, no one has counted how many books there are. Probably because of their status, the previous owners of the Shen Mansion were somewhat inferior and could only desperately collect all kinds of books to cover up their flaws.
However, several generations of the Shen family didn't like reading, they were all interested in doing business, so they collected a large number of books and only used them for decoration.Among the Shen family members, Shen Hanqing was probably the only one who read the most books. Now it was Shen Luo, she had the spiritual power to cheat, reading books was like playing, and she could basically memorize them at a glance.
After reading the basic medical scriptures and Gu scriptures, Shen Luo had a general understanding of how to raise Gu. She went out of the mansion this day and originally didn't want to take anyone with her, but in the end she was defeated by Master Shen's nagging and took four servants out.
However, as soon as Shen Luo went out, he found that there were two more tails behind him.For the sake of the other party's lack of hostility, she pretended not to see it, and knew that the two tails must have been arranged by the emperor.
First, I had someone drive a carriage to the West Market, and bought five pottery pots from a pottery shop, about half the height of an arm, usually used to pickle salted eggs or pickles.
It was useful for Shen Luo to buy these. She asked her servants to move the clay pots into the carriage, then found a bookstore, bought a few pieces of yellow mounting paper for the shop assistant to cut out, and picked out a fine brush and an inkstone for a total of I paid five taels of silver, including four taels of silver for the inkstone, and bought half a catty of 30-year-old cinnabar at the pharmacy.
The cinnabar used to draw talismans is naturally the older the better, and the longer the cinnabar settles, the more spiritual power it can hold.
However, medicinal use is the other way around, basically the newer the better, because after a long period of storage, the color will change, not to mention the efficacy of the medicine, but most of these things are bought by Taoist temples, and they are used to draw symbols, consecration, etc. necessities.
When Shen Luo went to the pharmacy to buy cinnabar, he asked for a longer period of time. The pharmacy rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found half a catty of cinnabar that had been stored for 30 years.
After buying the cinnabar, Shen Luo directly asked his family to drive the carriage to the mass grave outside the city.
The mass burial site is located ten miles north of Yangzhou City. The corpses that are not collected on weekdays are thrown here. There are only a few incomplete tombstones in the mass burial site. Most of them have been lying on the ground. There was a hastily buried corpse that was pulled out of the soil by wild dogs, and pieces of it were scattered on the soil incompletely. On a hot day, there was a foul smell, and flies were flying around in circles. There is a surge of white stuff.
The servants were vomited by the smell from a distance, and when they approached and saw this scene, they couldn't help but ran aside and vomited.
Shen Luo's sense of smell separated by spiritual power early on, she slapped the ground, and the body was immediately re-buried by the soil, but more rotten bones were exposed on the ground.
Shen Luo sighed, and stomped his feet vigorously again. This time the soil turned deeper, and a large piece of dead bones fell into the deep pit and was covered by the soil.
The servants were still vomiting, and Shen Luo didn't ask them to help. He moved a clay pot from the carriage by himself. As soon as he moved one, the servants ran over to help move it, but Shen Luo stopped him, "Only move one Clay pots are fine, you go to the small river next to them to get some water." Shen Luo threw the lid of the pot to them.
When the four servants heard this, they divided into two teams, one of which guarded Shen Luo, and the other went to fetch water.
The reason why the water here is used is because the talisman drawn this time is different from the last time. This time she drew the yin-gathering talisman. Naturally, water with a heavy yin energy was used to reconcile the cinnabar talisman. Is the water near the hill more suitable?
While waiting for his servants to fetch water, Shen Luo glanced at the location of the mass grave, and muttered to himself, "Golden wood, water, fire and soil, this place is located in the north, North Xuanwu, Xuanwu has the main water, so it's good that the Gu cultivated in this way also contains water. Attributes."
At this time, the servant also took back the water, Shen Luo took the lid of the clay pot, poured some water into the inkstone, squeezed some cinnabar and ground it with water, and then drew a few yin-gathering talismans with the cut yellow mounting paper , I didn’t draw too much, just five, exactly corresponding to five clay pots.
Shen Luo called for servants. She walked a few steps around the mass grave, muttering non-stop, then stopped to pick up branches, and drew a circle on the ground for the servants to start digging.
The four servants were not disturbed by the smell and the bloody scene, and they finally returned to normal. They dug the hole with a shovel a few times. Shen Luo looked at it, put the pot in it, and nodded in satisfaction.
Then she cut her finger, dripped a drop of blood on a talisman, and then held the talisman paper in front of her eyebrows and recited a spell silently. The talisman paper that was still burning was put into the clay pot and led the servants back.
After a while, rustling sounds came from the surroundings, and the four servants were still a little strange. The next scene was unforgettable for them all their lives.
"Snakes, there are snakes, so many snakes!" One of the four servants suddenly yelled at the top of his voice, and backed away with a yell.
I saw four or five snakes coming out of the grass in front of us. The heads of these snakes were all triangular, indicating that each snake was highly poisonous.
"Mother, lady, let's leave quickly, or it will be too late." One of the servants said nervously to Shen Luo, shaking his legs.
Shen Luo didn't look back, just stared at the pot and said, "Don't worry, these snakes won't come over."
Before he finished speaking, the servant saw those poisonous snakes eagerly burrowing into the pot.
But the next more spectacular thing happened in front of several people. They saw poisonous snakes and venomous insects running out of the grass, under the stones, in the soil, and the skeletons. What attracts them, wave after wave, no one escaped after entering the clay pot, and the first to enter too many began to kill each other.
I don't know if the snakes eat the worms or the worms besiege the snakes. Although the snakes and insects keep dying, more will be added later.
Seeing that the clay pots in the pit were densely packed with poisonous insects and snakes, superimposed on each other and kept drilling into the inside, some people couldn't bear it and vomited again.
Shen Luo waited for a while, seeing fewer and fewer poisonous insects and snakes coming, she exhaled, thinking that all the nearby poisonous insects and snakes had been wiped out, so she walked over.
The servants watched nervously, fearing that she would be bitten by those poisonous insects and snakes.
However, when Shen Luo walked over, a shocking scene appeared, those poisonous snakes and insects actually pretended that she didn't exist, walked around her feet, and continued to run towards the clay pot.
In fact, there is a reason for this. Shen Luo is a flower and grass, and naturally has the scent of flowers and plants. No poisonous snake or insect will attack the weeds on the roadside for no reason.
It was for this reason that these poisonous insects and snakes turned a blind eye to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo covered the earthenware pot, and soon the aura that attracted the snakes and insects disappeared, and the snakes and insects seemed to have regained their sanity, and immediately collapsed and burrowed into the soil, and disappeared into the grass.
Shen Luo took the shovel from the servants, covered it with a thin layer of soil, and then led the servants away.
In addition to the mass graves, she also went to barren mountains, wild mountains, abandoned stone bridges, and abandoned temples on this day, repeating all the things she had done in the mass graves.
The servants who followed Shen Luo were already numb. They had seen too many poisonous insects and snakes. The goosebumps on their bodies disappeared and reappeared. Everyone felt that they had suffered from dense phobia. As long as they saw insects I'm going to be shocked, and I won't be able to go to work for a short time.
After Shen Luo went back, he gave a few people leave and rewarded each of them ten taels of silver to appease their fragile hearts, and then quickly went back to the yard to ask for water to take a bath.
The two hidden guards who followed Shen Luo had also reshaped the three views today. After Shen Luo returned to the courtyard, the two looked at each other, leaving one guarding outside the courtyard, while the other hurriedly reported today's events to the emperor.
The emperor was reviewing the memorial, and when he heard the report from the secret guard, he finished reviewing the memorial in his hand before replying, "Got it."
After finishing the work in hand, it was already dark, the emperor pinched the bridge of his nose, let the eunuch carry the memorial down, and then ordered someone to prepare dinner.
"Invite Mrs. Shen over to have a meal with me." The emperor suddenly ordered the eunuch beside him.
As the chief eunuch next to the emperor, He Xu naturally took care of the most important matters around the emperor.
He was sent by the emperor to send the minister to the court for disaster relief, and when he came back, he also heard from the little eunuch that the emperor treated the lady of Shen's mansion differently, and he wanted to bring him back to the palace.
He Xu knew that there was a lot of inside information. His Majesty probably wanted to lure someone into the palace and help him suppress the Gu poison nearby. It would be best if he could get rid of it. This alone deserves He Xu's respect for Mrs. Shen.
When the emperor sent someone over, Shen Luo was lying comfortably on the couch and asked Qing He to pinch her legs. Hearing the reports from the maids, she quickly got up, changed into light clothes, combed her hair casually, and went out to meet the envoy.
"It's you!" Shen Luo was surprised to see the person coming, "I've seen you in Qionghua Temple."
Shen Luo recognized this person at a glance. He was standing behind the emperor in Qionghua Temple before, and she had heard the emperor call him He Xu.
He Xu replied with a smile: "Miss Shen, Your Majesty has sent servants over to invite Madam Shen to have a meal together."
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo said, "Let's go now, I just have something to tell Your Majesty."
When I saw the emperor, he was sitting at the table reading a book, and a dozen candles were lit in the room, shining like daylight.
Shen Luo saluted, and the emperor put down his book and beckoned her over.
She walked over, and the emperor pointed to the stool next to her for her to sit on. When she sat down, he asked, "I heard that you traveled to several places today?"
Shen Luo nodded, "Well, I'm going to raise the Gu myself, and it will take five days to complete. After the Gu is developed, I can take your blood for a test." She is not afraid of the Emperor now, so what about the Emperor? She didn't expect her to save her life, and of course she didn't regard him as her future husband, but positioned the two of them as a cooperative relationship.
She is responsible for helping her get rid of Gu poison, and he is her backer, letting her do her best to revenge.
In fact, Shen Luo also had an idea of her own, as long as she solved King Ning, it would be equivalent to fulfilling Shen Hanqing's wish, but if she solved the emperor's Gu, she would be able to fly freely.
As for the heir that Master Shen wants, when the time comes, she will look for some elixir to concoct alchemy, so that Master Shen can definitely have a son. There seems to be a kind of elixir in my memory that is specially used to give birth to children. By the way, what is the name of that elixir?
The emperor nodded, "Okay, I will drive to Suzhou in six days, you need to prepare."
Hearing this sentence, Shen Luo's thoughts turned from the pill, and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect it to be so fast, that is to say, she could only stay at home for six days?
This time is too short, why not ask the emperor and let him go to Suzhou by himself, and when he returns to the palace, she will go directly to the capital?
The emperor saw that she was absent-minded, so he didn't continue this topic, and ordered the eunuch beside him to serve the meal.
She could only keep this thought in her mind, and glanced at the books the emperor put on the table inadvertently. After the emperor found out, he immediately handed it to her, "I have heard that the collection of books in Shenfu's library is the largest in Yangzhou. When I first saw it, it really lived up to its reputation, like this solitary copy of "Cao Lan Terrace" written by the former celebrity Gao Lan Rover, but there is no such thing as even in the palace."
Shen Luo didn't know how to answer, she kept peeking at him, what did the emperor mean by this?
After thinking about it, Shen Luo replied, "If Your Majesty likes it, just take it." She really doesn't care about books.
The emperor shook his head, "I can't take things from the Shen residence at will." Just take whatever you fancy
