Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Bingzhou Chapter 94(1/2)
Chapter 94: The real and the empty confuse the emperor's heart (begging for monthly votes!)
"I don't know when I will wake up?" Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed. There was unusual concern in his words, and Lu Zhaoci could tell that he was not lying. It seems that Li Shimin also hid something from Changsun Wuji.
Xu Jingzong on the other side was a bit deceitful. Could it be that this strategy was done by Xu Jingzong? This Li Shimin was quite courageous.
"I have an elixir that may save Your Highness." Suddenly, a man walked slowly outside the palace. He had big sleeves fluttering, a sun and moon hidden on his chest, a sun crown with jade on his face, full of red light, and a purple gold on his head.
Guan, indeed, looked like a man among the gods. Lu Zhaoci recognized him as Yuan Tiangang.
"Elixir? Of course it's good. Give it to Your Highness." Xu Jingzong was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately jumped up and drove away all the imperial doctors surrounding Li Shimin, including company commander Sun Wuji.
It was pushed aside, leaving a path for Yuan Tiangang to walk.
"Taoist elixirs mostly use lead and mercury, which are harmful to the human body. There are countless people who died from taking elixirs in the history books. Is Taoist elixir really effective?" Lu Zhaoci frowned,
asked calmly.
Yuan Tiangang's face hardened when he heard this, he glanced at Lu Zhaoci, and said with a smile: "The general's concern is right. However, the Xi Neijia method that our Louguan sect pays attention to, and the elixirs refined are mostly of various precious materials.
It is made from medicinal materials, not lead and mercury, so the general can rest assured."
"Can you let me take a look at it?" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but ask again. He was very loyal to Li Shimin, and naturally he didn't want Li Shimin to die from accidentally taking the pill at this time.
"Of course you can." Yuan Tiangang did not refuse, took out a brocade box from his arms, handed it to Changsun Wuji, and said: "This was left by the ancestor, and there is only one pill in the world. It is specially designed to treat poisoning.
The King of Qin is a nobleman of heaven and should enjoy this elixir."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji gently opened the brocade box, only to see a longan-sized pill inside, wrapped in honey, revealing a hint of fragrance. As Changsun Wuji was about to open it, Yuan Tiangang quickly stopped him and said, "This medicine smells like this."
It's bitter, so I wrapped it in honey. If it is opened, King Qin's mouth may be bitter." Changsun Wuji heard this and smelled it on the tip of his nose. Sure enough, he smelled of herbs. He nodded and handed the pill to Lu.
According to words.
Lu Zhaoci reached out and took it, smelled it at the tip of his nose, and found that there was indeed a herbal smell. He put it in his hand and looked at it, but couldn't see anything strange. After thinking for a moment, he stopped pursuing it. At that moment
He gave it back to Yuan Tiangang and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Taoist Master actually has pills that can cure hundreds of poisons. What a coincidence!"
Yuan Tiangang was stunned when he heard this, and squeezed out a smile on his face, saying: "Yes, yes! Pindao didn't expect that after receiving the news from His Highness, Pindao found it difficult in the temple to let the master of the temple.
I took out this treasure and sent it to King Qin. Fortunately, it was not too late."
"Yes, luckily I came in time. Taoist priest, please! If I don't give the medicine, I'm afraid it will be too late." Lu Zhaoci nodded, pointed at Li Shimin on the bed and smiled.
But in Yuan Tiangang's view, the smile on Lu Zhaoci's lips was so weird, so weird that it made him panic, so frightened. He was secretly surprised and said, "Could he have seen it? It's impossible.
, only two or three people knew about it. How could he know about it?"
At this time, Changsun Wuji and others could clearly feel the mystery of this. Although they were not sure of it, they were still suspicious, but they could only pretend not to know anything, because the person who was poisoned was still themselves.
master.
And Yuan Tiangang stuffed the pills in the brocade box into Li Shimin's mouth and gave it to him with water. Within a moment, Li Shimin stood up suddenly and spurted out a mouthful of black blood. Changsun Wugou, who had been waiting aside for a long time, hurried up.
In front of him, he wiped away the blood from the corners of Li Shimin's mouth with a wet wipe. Li Shimin, who was lying on the couch, could breathe easier...
"Okay, the poison in the palace of Prince Qin has been cured." Yuan Tiangang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, with a hint of joy on his face. Changsun Wuji also showed a hint of joy on his face. Changsun Wuji waited for Qin
The palace officials cheered non-stop, and only Lu Zhaoci, who was standing aside, showed a sneer on his lips.
"This guy is too fake." Lu Zhaoci snorted secretly: "It's just that the poor Li Jiancheng brothers will be accused by thousands of people this time. I just don't know what kind of decision Li Yuan will make. I want to come here.
The emperor has been tested for many years in his tactics, so he must be able to guess one or two of them."
"Thank you very much, Taoist priest." Changsun Wugou bowed respectfully to Yuan Tiangang. How could Yuan Tiangang dare to accept Changsun Wugou's gift? He quickly turned aside and said he didn't dare.
"Now that King Qin has woken up, I will take my leave first." Seeing this, Lu Zhaoci was too lazy to stay here and said coldly: "Your Highness has just woken up, so he must be in low spirits, so it would be better to rest early.
In the near future, there will be an expedition against Wang Shichong, so His Highness can rest in peace and recuperate!" After saying this, he ignored everyone's strange looks and headed towards Prince Qin's Mansion.
"Brother, this, the servants in the mansion didn't treat them well, which made the general angry." A trace of embarrassment appeared on Changsun Wugou's beautiful face. Although she had heard a lot of news about Lu Zhaoci in the mansion,
But this was the first time I saw Lu Zhaoci, and in this situation, I felt even more hungry and embarrassed.
Changsun Wuji blushed. He probably guessed the reason, but he couldn't tell his sister. Could it be that, sister, your husband pretended to be poisoned and came to assassinate Li Jiancheng, but Lu Zhaoci saw it clearly?
Is it clear that he is angry? He would not say such a thing. What's more, even if Li Shimin told Changsun Wuji about such a thing at first, he might still support it.
"Huh! What a big air!" Changsun Wuji didn't say it, but that didn't mean that others didn't say it. Chai Keyu had a gloomy look on his face, looking at Lu Zhaoci's leaving figure. Recently, he discovered that Mrs. Chai's
Business is getting worse and worse. People everywhere are suppressing Chai's business, which makes him tired of traveling around. He just came to Chang'an, how can he know everything about Chang'an.
"Okay, Your Highness has just been cleared of the poison, and you still need more rest. It's better for you all to leave early, so that you don't have to wait again." Yuan Tiangang also hurriedly expelled Hou Junji and others who were surrounding the bed.
"Forget it, what Taoist Yuan said is true. I'd better go back early. It won't be too late to come see His Highness tomorrow." Changsun Wuji vaguely knew the secret and helped Yuan Tiangang expel the minister. He was also Changsun Wuji.
He persuaded him to go back. For a while, only Yuan Tiangang and Changsun Wuji were left in the room, as well as Li Shimin, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
"Taoist Priest, when will Your Highness wake up?" Changsun Wuji asked gently.
"The poison in the palace has just been eliminated. I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up for a while. As long as you take care of yourself, you will be able to wake up one day." Yuan Tiangang said with a solemn expression.
"Okay, Mr. Yuan, stop pretending." Changsun Wuji sneered: "In three days, His Majesty is going to Renshou Palace, and His Highness must go. This cannot be changed. If it is changed, be careful.
Your head."
"This, sir, is the poison inside Your Highness?" Yuan Tiangang's expression changed.
"Huh, it's also highly poisonous. This trick can only deceive others. The general has already become suspicious just now." Changsun Wuji sneered, "Whose idea was this? You don't respect the king's rules and you just let others laugh at you!
Why don't you come with me to wake up His Highness?"
"What? Did he really see through it?" Yuan Tiangang's face changed and he shouted in surprise.
"Hurry up and wake up Your Highness. Your Majesty won't be here tonight, but he will definitely come tomorrow." Changsun Wuji sneered: "If you don't wake up now, how long will it take? I'm afraid Lu Zhaoci is not the only one who can see through this.
people."….
"Okay, okay, I'll be here right now." Yuan Tiangang showed a look of panic on his face, and quickly took out a few long needles from his arms and pricked several acupuncture points on Li Shimin's body.
In less than a moment, I heard Li Shimin sigh deeply and wake up. However, after the torment just now, his energy level was obviously not recovered yet.
"Taoist Master, oh, the auxiliary machine is here too!" Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes, only to see Chang Sun Wuji standing in front of him with a gloomy face, a wry smile on his lips, and said softly: "The auxiliary machine, in the end
It’s for you to see it.”
"Humph, it doesn't matter if I can see it. The key is that the general has seen it a long time ago. I'm afraid if you don't wake up, your majesty will be able to see it tomorrow." Changsun Wuji sneered: "How dare you pull off such a small trick?
Showing off is simply embarrassing and making other people laugh."
"This is what Xu Jingzong said." Li Shimin said with a wry smile: "What he said is also very reasonable. At present, this is the only way to continuously weaken my father's favor towards the East Palace."
"Is this the method?" Changsun Wuji sneered: "If he wants to poison you, do you think the Prince of the East Palace will invite you to the East Palace? Absolutely not. He will bribe anyone at will and poison your food.
How could it be in the East Palace? That Xu Jingzong was born with a pig brain, specializing in coming up with these unrighteous ideas. Hum, I have said it long ago, unless it is absolutely necessary, the crown prince's position must be won in an upright and dignified manner, and cannot
As the second Yang Guang."
"I know, auxiliary machine." Li Shimin's pale face showed a hint of rosy. He glanced around and sighed slightly: "Father is not here?"
"Fortunately, the emperor didn't come, otherwise the emperor would have seen through it long ago." Changsun Wuji sneered: "What kind of person is the emperor, how could he be fooled by such a little trick. Think about how Yang Guang was jealous of the emperor back then.
But the emperor can still create the Tang Dynasty, you think you can deceive the emperor with this little trick."
"Okay, auxiliary machine, since the father is not here, let's forget it." Li Shimin didn't look good when he heard this, and he struggled to sit up.
"The Emperor's absence today does not mean that he will not come tomorrow. I think His Majesty will definitely come to inquire tomorrow." Changsun Wuji snorted coldly: "Your Highness wants to pass this test. Don't say that you are poisoned, and you are
I drank too much and fell off my horse."
"Why is this?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
"Confuse the Emperor." Changsun Wuji sneered: "According to the Emperor's idea, His Highness's move is to target the Crown Prince and King Qi. After seeing him, His Highness will definitely file a complaint. In this way, the Emperor will be more sure that this will happen."
His Highness did it himself. But if His Highness said nothing and still claimed that he fell from his horse, Your Majesty might also think that Your Highness cares about brotherhood and cannot bear to expose the conspiracy of the Crown Prince and King Qi. In this way, Your Majesty will not blame
Your Highness, you will also feel a little dissatisfied with Dong Palace and Prince Qi. You will also feel a little guilty towards Your Highness."
"Yes, what the auxiliary machine said is absolutely true." Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Everything can be solved easily in the hands of the auxiliary machine, and I will have no worries from now on."
"The only thing I'm worried about now is the general. I just don't know how the general knows that this matter was done by His Highness himself?" Changsun Wuji frowned and thought.
"Yes, I also have this doubt. When the general first came, he didn't ask anything. He already doubted whether Pindao's pills were real. The eyes that looked at me were very scary." Yuan Tiangang also spoke up.
road.
"You can rest assured that the general will not care about this matter." A smile appeared on Li Shimin's pale face, and he waved his hand and said: "If he had exposed it, he would have exposed it long ago. There is no need to wait until tomorrow.
.What’s more, he only had suspicions and was not sure that it was not the case.”….
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be repeated again and again." Changsun Wuji sighed deeply: "In a few days, Your Highness will go to Renshou Palace with Your Majesty. In these days, Your Highness will not go to court.
It’s better for Haosheng to recuperate at home. When the time comes, I won’t be able to go to Renshou Palace. I’ll have to start everything over again.”
"Okay, I'll just listen to the auxiliary machine." Li Shimin nodded. Naturally, this kind of thing cannot happen a second time. The three of them talked again, naturally in case Li Yuan came tomorrow. The three of them discussed it.
After a while, the cooperation was flawless. In this way, Changsun Wuji and Yuan Tiangang took their leave.
The next day, Li Yuan did come to the Prince of Qin's Mansion in person to inquire about Li Shimin's poisoning. However, to Li Yuan's surprise, Li Shimin only said that he had drunk too much and fell off his horse, and did not say anything about the poisoning.
Li Yuan was only surprised for a moment when he heard this, and didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Li Shimin to rest in peace and recuperate. Three days later, he drove to Renshou Palace to recuperate. It was just a cup of tea before and after, so Li Yuan excused himself that there was something going on in the palace.
Disappeared without a trace.
"This King of Qin is quite capable. If he directly said that he was harmed by Li Jiancheng's poisonous wine, I'm afraid His Majesty wouldn't believe him. Now he refuses to admit that he was harmed by the poisonous wine, which makes Li Yuan not feel guilty about it.
