Chapter 52

Outside the Chengqian Hall, the old man was dressed in a bright yellow monk robe and saluted Emperor Yong: "Amitabha. I have seen Your Majesty."

"...Excuse me, elder?"

Emperor Yong was a little surprised to recognize the person.

He often went to Ning'an Temple, and had some exchanges with Elder Shuyi.Elder Shuyi was born in troubled times. When the first emperor was in power, he had participated in the imperial examination. Afterwards, for unknown reasons, he did not enter the court as an official, but instead became a monk.

Elder Shuyi sighed, and said: "When I was young, my family opened a medical clinic. I have been familiar with it since I was a child. I have read some miscellaneous books and know some medical skills. I heard that His Majesty is sending people to inquire about Han Chunhua. I want to know about the Empress Dowager. Let’s see if we can help.”

Excuse the Presbyterian medical skills, this is really unheard of.Shu Yao and Elder Shuyi have also known each other for many years. In my impression, he is a strange old man who is obsessed with mountains and rivers. He can hold a scroll and paint by the lake for a whole day. How did Li Mingji invite him here?
"Okay, okay, of course," Emperor Yong said with a smile on his face, "The elder will stay in the palace for a few days, and I will arrange servants to be by the elder's side. If necessary, just ask the servant to take you in."

"Your Majesty is serious," Elder Shu Yi said, "I just listened to what Ming Ji said, and I am not sure about the cure and detoxification. Please don't be too optimistic, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong gave Li Mingji a complicated look, and his face calmed down a bit, "It's nothing. It's enough for an elder to have this kind of heart. Come with me."

In the Palace of Longevity, the Empress Dowager was still sleeping in her bedroom. Forgive the elders for taking the pulse, Emperor Yong hurriedly greeted him and asked in a low voice: "How is it? I heard from the palace people that the Empress Dowager was in a lethargic sleep all morning, and she couldn't wake her up, but Something went wrong again?"

Elder Shuyi shook his head, but his tone was rare and serious, "The Empress Dowager vomited medicine last night, which hurt her vitality and blood, and took some calming medicine, so she will naturally sleep longer. It should be possible to have a try on the pulse condition, the old monk will go to the imperial hospital first to get the medicine and give the needles for the empress."

Emperor Yong said hello again and again.

"Since the elder has a solution, Mingji, first send the princess back to the palace to rest. You don't have to worry, if there is anything, I will order the palace people to pass the message."

It could be seen that Emperor Yong was in a bad mood, so Shu Yao naturally didn't need to stay long, so he said hello obediently and authentically.

Emperor Yong closed his eyes, and the haze in his eyes dissipated a little.

Although the Empress Dowager was not his biological mother, Emperor Yong had learned many valuable qualities from the Empress Dowager during the few years when he came to the throne. He had always respected her very much and regarded her as his second mother.Now that his condition has improved, his tense heart finally relaxes a little.

He had been waiting for the opportunity before, so he hesitated, swallowing his breath as he did 20 years ago.However, the successive blows made Emperor Yong realize that repeated forbearance will only bring illusion to those who are interested, making them mistakenly think that it is still 20 years ago.

In order to win people's hearts, he had dispersed too much power in the hands of aristocratic families and officials, and it was time to take it back.

……

Back at Huaxi Palace, the surrounding haze dissipated a little. The girl with wrinkled face seemed to come to life, patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, "Uncle really scared me to death today."

Her tone was the same as being coquettish, Li Mingji licked the corners of his lower lips in enjoyment, his face remained calm: "Huh?"

In fact, he watched the whole process outside the door, and he was not surprised.

The Xie family fought with the former emperor in the north and south, and made great military exploits. This is why they have such an honor and become the largest family in the capital after the royal family.However, he was not satisfied and was too sharp, which had already caused Emperor Yong's dissatisfaction.

Only dealt with Zhang Sheng last night, Emperor Yong was righteous, and Xie Hong relied on the old to sell the old, trying to use his old affection to force Emperor Yong to give him a marriage. Isn't this self-defeating?

Xie Hong still thought of himself as the crown prince and grand tutor, and the general of the Fuguo personally appointed by the emperor, but he didn't know that after 20 years, Emperor Yong was no longer the empty emperor.

"Uncle made a big fuss about me today, but Xie Yanzhou deserved it, who made him feel ashamed and wanted to marry me," Shu Yao snorted coldly, "He is like this, since he was a child, he has never listened to my opinion .The husband-in-law I will find in the future will be obedient to me, and he will never go west if I tell him to go east.”

Li Mingji's eyes were gentle: "Okay."

Shu Yao didn't realize that Li Mingji was agreeing with her, so she finished speaking on her own, and changed the subject again: "How do you know that Shuyi Presbyterians know medical skills? Can he cure grandma well?"

She remembered that Elder Shuyi and Li Mingji were still masters and apprentices?He even taught Li Mingji this?

Li Mingji said: "This subordinate tells a story to the princess."

story?

Shu Yao's curiosity was aroused, it's all right, why would he keep it a secret?This is not his style.

"There is a medical clinic on the outskirts of the capital. The eldest son is talented and intelligent. He passed the examination at a young age. He went to Beijing to take part in the imperial examination. He met his sweetheart. He made an agreement with her that after the release of the rankings, the two would get married."

The young man's voice was like a gurgling mountain spring, deep and sweet, and Shu Yao's heart was tickled, "And then?"

Isn't it just a good story about a talented man and a beautiful woman? What's so rare, she has seen a lot of it in the story books.

"The eldest son was admitted as a Jinshi, asked to marry his sweetheart, and the two agreed on a date of marriage. On the night of the wedding, the bridegroom and the bride went to the hall, lifted the hijab, and found that the bride was not his sweetheart, but a strange maid. The real bride was favored by the emperor. , sent to the harem."

Shu Yao opened her mouth, "Then..."

Li Ming said calmly: "The groom repented of his marriage and became a monk, and became a monk. The bride became the emperor's favorite concubine, and later, became the empress dowager."

Although the first emperor was a hero who ruled the world, he was desolate, lewd, and lustful, and he often did things like taking women from good families by force.It is not uncommon for a concubine like the queen mother to be sent to the harem as a tool to please the late emperor.

In addition, after the first emperor unified the world, he believed that the country was stable, and he and his concubine had fun in the palace all day long, and it seemed not surprising that he would die suddenly in the harem when he was in his prime.

I can think of Elder Shuyi because of the great epidemic in the capital in his previous life. Elder Shuyi went down the mountain first, saying that he had some medical skills and saved many wounded patients.When he was dying, he didn't see anyone, and wrote a suicide note to Li Mingji, describing this past event.

That was the first time Li Mingji heard Elder Shuyi mention his past.

Li Mingji was cold-hearted and cold-blooded, he would not be moved by these stories for a long time.The little princess in front of her had red eyes: "Grandmother..."

The queen mother is the most gentle and kind woman she has ever seen. She thought the queen mother had such a personality, but she didn't know that there were so many past events behind it.

Li Mingji frowned helplessly, raised his fingers, and pressed the corners of Shu Yao's eyes with his fingertips.

 Li Mingji who made his wife cry but can't coax others: Worry.jpg
