The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 88 Elixir
As Sun Duzhong spoke, he took out the medicine mortar, smashed and ground the pills, lit the oil lamp, took the medicine powder and baked it, thick smoke came out of the room immediately, and a choking smell came out.

Lin Zisu couldn't help coughing, and when the smoke cleared, she asked, "Master, where does this medicine come from?"

Sun Duzhong had a serious face, and he didn't care to avoid suspicion, and said: "If I expected it to be true, this elixir is a mixture of Jindan and Red Lead Pills, and the medicinal properties are more powerful."

Lin Zisu's face was terrified, red lead pills, she had seen it recorded in her grandfather's notes.

This is a prescription presented by an alchemist during Guangzong's time. Milk powder, cinnabar, magnetic frankincense, autumn stone, etc. are used as medicines. The most important medicine is women's Guishui.

When Guangzong practiced Taoism in Xuanxuan, he called Taoist priests to the palace to give lectures several times, and the rewards were very generous.

Those alchemists who are proficient in heresy, in order to get rich and honor, catered to Guangzong's selfish desires one after another. The red lead pills became popular in the palace. medicine.

In Guangzong's reign, five concubine selection ceremonies were held, and seven beautiful women were selected into the palace for pharmaceutical and fun purposes.

By the time of Guangzong's funeral, there were more than 200 concubines and tens of thousands of court ladies in the palace, which was unique in all dynasties.

In my grandfather's notes, it was written that this elixir violated the harmony of heaven, so it was only a brief description, and the preparation method and dosage were not mentioned at all.

Seeing Lin Zisu's shameful and angry face, Sun Duzhong obviously had heard about the red lead pills, coughed lightly, and relieved some of the discomfort on his face, and said: "Since the first emperor inherited the Datong, red lead pills have been banned." , I didn’t expect this kind of harmful medicine to appear again in just a few decades, girl, who gave this medicine?”

As far as Lin Zisu knew, there were not many maids in the palace of King Wei, but the two sons of King Wei had married many concubines in recent years, and they were all daughters of officials.

She thought of Luo Ying's sad and indignant expression, and Xie Xi's hesitant attitude, and her heart became clearer and clearer. She never thought that Wei Wang, a dignified prince, would do such a thing in his own house.

It's just that this matter is no small matter, once Wei Wang is pointed out, then the involvement will be serious.

King Wei used his son's concubine concubine to refine medicine, and he might even practice in the house. If such ambiguous things are exposed, the royal family will certainly lose face, and those who are married to Prince Wei's mansion will be discredited. Even the residence of second-rank officials like the Luo family.

At that time, not only will it arouse the wrath of the royal family, but it will also arouse the hatred of those people.

Don't say it, absolutely don't say it, Lin Zisu warned herself in her heart.

Facing Master's question, Lin Zisu could only hesitate.However, she seldom lied, and said somewhat unnaturally: "His Royal Highness Dun only suspected that the medicine was related to the emperor's headache, but did not say where the medicine came from."

"Why did King Dun give you this medicine?"

Only then did Sun Duzhong realize the crux of the problem, his cloudy old eyes tightened suddenly, and he asked, "Does he want you to heal the emperor's headache?"

Lin Zisu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Sun Duzhong immediately jumped up and said, "You silly girl, what kind of ecstasy soup did that guy Xie Xi give you? How dare you accept this kind of family raiding?"

It was the first time Lin Zisu saw Sun Duzhong so furious, and said: "Master, this matter is very important, I have to deal with it..."

Sun Duzhong's beard and hair stood on end, and he interrupted her rudely immediately, and said: "Isn't it just that the emperor died? What's the big deal? After the emperor dies, he can be replaced. What happened?"

Hearing that Lin Zisu had agreed to Xie Xi, Sun Duzhong was uncharacteristically furious, and even his words suddenly became hasty.

"The current emperor is not someone who sees through the world of mortals. If there is a glimmer of life, do you think the emperor will not seek medical treatment?"

Sun Duzhong didn't allow Lin Zisu to argue, and continued: "Cure the emperor's disease, that's a big deal! I heard that the emperor is still in a coma, and whoever treats the disease has a problem will be killed!"

Lin Zisu sighed in his heart, how could he not know what the master said?
Sun Duzhong recalled the past, sighed and said: "I think you have heard about my origin. When I left the Imperial Hospital, it was said that I died of the golden talent in the palace because of the doctor, so I took the blame and left. , it’s not like that at all.”

"When I healed the talented man, I knew it was a happy pulse. I congratulated her at the time, but she was extremely flustered and told me the truth. She has never had the emperor's pulse since entering the palace. Fortunately, that child was conceived by her before she entered the palace."

"I thought about it, and instead of exposing the emperor's scandal, it's better to pretend that I don't know anything, so I prescribed a medicine to treat the wind and cold. At that time, I was also afraid that something would happen, the medicine was very light, so I must take it Undead."

Lin Zisu remembered what his father said, confirmed it with what Sun Duzhong said in Today, and came up with a rough idea.

A concubine in the palace was indiscreet before entering the palace. After entering the palace, she found out that she was pregnant. In order to save her life, she kept covering it up.

When I asked the imperial hospital to see a doctor, I was spotted by Sun Duzhong, the imperial physician at that time.

To protect himself, Sun Duzhong didn't say anything, and even prescribed some medicines to treat wind and cold in order to deceive others.

However, after the talented man took the medicine, he died of miscarriage.

"Later, I was locked in prison for a few months, and I understood the general idea. The death of the golden talent must be because the emperor knew about her scandal and let her die in the name of miscarriage. I was just unlucky and happened to be involved In such a mess."

"I'm alone and helpless. It doesn't matter if I die, but I didn't expect that my senior brother will be responsible for me. These years, when I think of my senior brother, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. After waiting for so many years, I finally waited for you. When the girl appeared, I just thought, if I train you to be a miracle doctor like him, I will be able to do business under the nine springs."

When Sun Duzhong talked about the emotional part, he couldn't stop crying, and then said: "Now if you accept this job, you will not be far from death. If I teach you medical skills, it will hurt you and kill you." It hurt your Lin family."

Sun Duzhong was sincere, and Lin Zisu felt sour when he heard it.Treating the emperor is no small matter. Sun Duzhong has experienced the consequences of this, so he said it very thoroughly. He doesn't want to go back to his old path.

But what Xie Xi said was right, the situation is critical now, the emperor must not return to the west at this time.

Lin Zisu waited for Sun Duzhong to calm down, and said in a very flat tone: "Master, Beidi has broken through the Jinlan Pass. If the emperor dies here, it will cause chaos in the world! Under the nest, how can there be any eggs?" , when the time comes, won’t the Lin family also be ruined?”
