The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 87
After Xie Xi finished speaking, regardless of Cao Lang with a cold face, he strode towards Qianqing Palace.

Because the emperor was seriously ill, guards were obviously added in the palace to prevent accidents, one post at five steps and one post at ten steps, which made Xie Xi feel a little uncomfortable.

He arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace and was informed by the servant.But after waiting for a stick of incense, the servant invited him into the East Nuan Pavilion.

The emperor was still ill, and the doors and windows in Dongnuange were closed, so a small window was opened.

As soon as Xie Xi entered the Nuan Pavilion, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, and suddenly beads of sweat came out of his head.

He frowned, and seeing the emperor sitting on a soft couch in a middle coat, he stepped forward and gave a casual salute, and said, "Father, it's such a hot day, and the doors and windows are still sealed so tightly, I'm not afraid of killing you." Is it hot or not?"

When the emperor saw Xie Xi, he was not polite, and said: "It's rare that you think of me, but it's really not easy. Tell me, what disaster happened outside again, come to me to help you mediate?"

Xie Xi said: "Father, my son went through a lot of effort to enter the palace today, but he has serious business to do."

The emperor said "Oh" to express his disbelief, and only heard Xie Xi say: "I heard that the emperor's father is ill, and the imperial physicians are helpless. My minister recommends one person, and the disease will be cured."

The emperor shook his head with a wry smile. He had been suffering from headaches for four or five years. The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital had seen him, but they were helpless.His fourth son has always been inconspicuous in the eyes of outsiders, and he makes friends with friends. He doesn't believe that Xie Xi can recommend anyone.

But after all, it was the son's whole heart. The emperor's face was soft, and he laughed immediately, and asked: "Then tell me, who is this person?"

Xie Xi originally wanted to say Lin Zisu's name, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he changed his tone and said, "His name is Sun Duzhong, and my father must have heard of it."

The emperor felt that this name was very familiar, but his head was in a daze for the past two days, and he couldn't remember who this person was for a while.

Seeing his father's pensive look, Xie Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and added: "He is the younger brother of Lin Houpu, the former envoy of the Imperial Hospital, and he also worked in the Imperial Hospital. After my hospital errands, I've been working as a pharmacy."

The emperor suddenly remembered, put his hands together slowly, and said: "You are talking about that old man Sun on Huifeng Street in the capital, but I have heard Cao Shouli and Huang Sheng mention it, where did you hear about it?" have to?"

Xie Xi was not surprised, it is rare that the father still remembers this person for so many years, there must be a reason, and he smiled immediately: "My son heard that after Yang Xingyao entered Beijing, he went to his medical center to seek treatment from him. , and now his condition has improved a lot.”

The emperor nodded and said: "I already know about this matter, and I heard that people from Dian Palace have been there more than once. I am finally relieved that Yang Xingyao's illness has improved. Now that the court is difficult, southern Xinjiang can be extremely difficult." There must be no more trouble."

Xie Xi was startled, did the emperor know about it a long time ago?That Lin Zisu healed Yang Xingyao, did the emperor know about it?
He looked up at the emperor, seeing his father speaking as usual, he felt relieved, and said, "Since father knows this person, the minister invites him into the palace?"

The emperor snorted, and said: "Back then, Sun Duzhong treated Jin Cairen wrongly, so that Jin Cairen gave birth prematurely. Maybe one of my dragon sons died at his hands. I didn't cut off his head, already Is it cheap for him, can you rest assured that he will treat me?"

"Father, don't pretend to be ignorant. Others don't know the inside story. You know that he was wronged."

The emperor's face suddenly became tense, and he shouted: "Where did you hear the rumors! Those words came from his mouth, and I didn't wrong him at all!"

Xie Xi curled her lips and said, "It's fine if he can treat your illness, why do you have to think about those nonsense things?"

The emperor shook his head first, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I heard from Huang Sheng that Sun Duzhong is notorious for his bad temper. Are you sure you can invite him into the palace?"

Xie Xi smiled mysteriously, and said, "Don't worry about this father, he will always come into the palace."

The emperor nodded lightly, and let out a helpless sigh...

The father and son did not expect that they kept secret about the events of the year, but Sun Duzhong told his apprentice Lin Zisu the inside story of the year in the small drugstore on Huifeng Street.

Lin Zisu's idea was impromptu today, the elixir that Xie Xi gave her was really invisible, so she had to take it to her master Sun Duzhong to identify it.

She ran out of the mansion secretly, thinking that the street must be in depression under martial law.

Unexpectedly, although there were no pedestrians on the street, there was no figure of the forbidden army.

There was no obstacle along the way, and Lin Zisu soon arrived at Sun Duzhong's pharmacy. Because there were no customers, Sun Duzhong dozed against the medicine cabinet listlessly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Sun Duzhong opened his eyes, and saw Lin Zisu standing in front of him prettyly carrying a few boxes of snacks.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure it wasn't a hallucination, and hurried forward, grabbed the snack from Lin Zisu's hand, and said happily, "You heartless little girl, after so many days, you don't even say to come and see the old man, I thought something happened to you and ran towards your door several times."

Lin Zisu let Sun Duzhong eat a few pieces of dim sum, went to pour a glass of water for Master, and asked with a smile: "Master, I made these dim sum specially for you old man, have I become better at this skill?" ?”

Sun Duzhong ate the dim sum like a storm, drank two more sips of water, and said lazily: "So-so, you haven't come for so long, I almost forgot what your dim sum tastes like."

Listening to the master's words, it seemed that she was still blaming herself, Lin Zisu smiled to herself, without much excuse.

She didn't say hello to her parents when she went out of the house today. She didn't want to stay too long, so she took out the pill that Xie Xi gave her and said: "These few days of Wanshou Festival, my family has been strictly controlled, and I haven't come out yet." Opportunity, I came here today, just to ask Master to help me see if this pill is poisonous."

Sun Duzhong patted the residue of the snack on his hands, took the pill, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and Fox asked: "Girl, where did you get this pill?"

Lin Zisu had already made up her mind that her medical skills were not good enough after all, if she wanted to treat the emperor, she would have to ask her master for advice.

That being the case, there is no need to cover up the origin of this pill, and said frankly: "This is a tribute for the Wanshou Festival in the palace. His Royal Highness Dun Wang suspects that the emperor's illness is related to this pill."

Sun Duzhong was a little surprised when she heard Xie Xi mentioned, but he still put the topic on the pill, and said: "This pill is not poisonous. The Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty suffered from wind disease, and the golden pill he used is It’s probably similar to this elixir. It’s just that the effect of the medicine is strong, and the mind will be hyperactive after taking it, so it needs to dissipate in time to be fine.”

In front of Lin Zisu, Sun Duzhong really couldn't say more about the effect of this elixir, so he added a vague sentence: "Fuyang Gujing is the most wonderful medicine."

While he was speaking, he scraped off some powder with his nails and put it in his mouth, smashed his mouth, and said to himself: "Strange! No wonder this elixir is a tribute, it really has some skills!"
