Chapter 21 Nine-turn golden pill can save my father's life?

After settling down the little girl, Jiang Qingyu walked out of the courtyard nibbling on the meat buns, and happened to bump into Lichun, the big girl who was in a hurry.

Lichun brings bad news:

"My lord, I heard that the prince's condition suddenly worsened when he took the medicine this morning. He coughed up a lot of blood, and he changed three mattresses!"

"Butler Xu was so angry that he ordered a thorough investigation of the maidservants in the palace. Later, it was found out that the mother Zhang who cooked the medicine for the prince secretly tampered with the medicine!"

"Then just now, I saw Mother Zhang with my own eyes, she... was sunk in the lake!"

Jiang Qingyu could see the unconcealable panic in Lichun's eyes.

It doesn't seem to be fake.

After all, this girl came to Ziyan Courtyard for another reason, if unfortunately someone caught some reason, she might end up with Zhang Nanny.

"How is the father's condition?"

Jiang Qingyu first asked about King Rejecting the North.

Lichun bowed his head and answered:

"Butler Xu has asked Dr. Song to have a look. I heard that there is nothing serious about it. It can be cured after taking the medicine for half a month."

Jiang Qingyu nodded.

He hadn't seen the old man for a long time.

Everyone knows that Jiang Qiushui, the King of Rejecting the North, has spent decades among the dead. When he was young, he would take the lead in every battle. As a result, he was wounded in more than a hundred places and left behind many hidden diseases. So I can only lie on the couch to recuperate, and rarely go out.

For more than ten years, Dr. Song has been taking care of his illness.

Physician Song is a top-ranked doctor in Chu State, and also a life-and-death friend of King Jubei. Under his care, King Jubei's condition has been stable, and nothing has gone wrong for more than ten years.

In addition, the royal family of the Chu State also knew the importance of rejecting the North King to the stability of the three northern states, so every year they would send someone to send a "one furnace a year, and one furnace has only twelve grains" nine Turn to Jindan, help him suppress the disease and prolong his life.

Most of the officials in the imperial court were also very concerned about the illness of the King of the North, and would often write letters of greetings.

Even the Jiang family in Yongzhou, which Jiang Qingyu has always disliked, will send a rare medicine every year.

However, there are many people in the court of Chu State who covet the three northern states, and there are countless people in the world who want to refuse the sudden death of the Northern King.

But among them...

There are very few who are qualified to reach out to the palace.

"Nurse Zhang is an old man in the palace. She has been in charge of brewing the medicine for the king for more than ten years, and there has been no problem."

"I remember that she is the widow of an old soldier. She has a son who enlisted in the army at the age of 13. Last year, she killed three Diren cavalrymen and was promoted to captain. Madam Zhang happily bought a pig and invited everyone in the palace Had a meatloaf."

"How could she tamper with father's medicine?"

"Even if she dies, she still has to think about her son?"

Jiang Qingyu always felt that this matter was not that simple.

He looked at Lichun, frowned and asked:

"Has the person behind the scenes been caught?"

"..."

However, Lichun was a little stunned.

Why does today's son feel so strange?

Not only is she very clear about Nanny Zhang's background, but also her son's military service, but the young master has been sleeping in the room for more than ten years, how did he know all this?
Am I paranoid?

Li Chun concealed the surprise in his heart, and replied:
"Butler Xu didn't say who instigated it."

"But I think it should be found out, otherwise Steward Xu wouldn't have sunk Nanny Zhang into the lake in front of so many people."

Jiang Qingyu disagreed with this guess.

With the character of the King of Rejecting the North, if he found out who was behind Nanny Zhang, he would get up from the sickbed regardless of everything, put on his armor and mount his horse, summon the army, and go to the enemy's lair to reason with spears and swords.

Now that the troops are standing still, either the identity of the enemy does not even dare to provoke the King of the North, or this matter is completely self-directed and self-acted!

As for not catching that person...

How can it be?

Sinking Nanny Zhang into the lake without finding out who was behind the scenes, even the koi raised in the lake in the Ziyan Court would not be able to do such a thing!

Jiang Qingyu felt that it was necessary to investigate this matter, so she told Lichun:

"Sister Lichun, you stay in the yard, I'll go to Uncle Jiang Shan for information."

……

Bookstore.

Jiang Shan was not surprised by Jiang Qingyu's visit.

"The younger brother is here to ask about the prince's condition?"

Jiang Qingyu nodded:
"I haven't seen my father for several months. Yesterday he led people out of the city on horseback and hosted a banquet for the second brother and the Qingjian camp. I thought his condition had improved, but today something happened about Madam Zhang. It made me very uneasy again.”

"Brother, did you go to see your father today?"

Jiang Shan's expression was ugly, as if he saw his comrades lying on the ground while cleaning the corpses on the battlefield:
After a long silence, he opened his mouth and said:

"Junior brother, if you are free, why don't you go see the prince in person."

"My lord, he, he..."

"He is terminally ill and has few months left to live!"

Jiang Qingyu couldn't believe it:
"How could this be?"

"Father is a master of the third-rank Luminous Sun Realm, how could a mere disease kill him?"

Jiang Qingyu had a premonition that something would happen, but she didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the palace!

But obviously just a month ago, when he secretly went to visit King Jubei with his dark body in the dark, he saw that the other person looked good, and he didn't look like a dying person at all?

"My lord, you don't have to worry."

Jiang Shan advised:
"The second lady has already written to the capital to ask for medicine."

"Given the royal family's reliance on the prince, they will definitely bestow a nine-turn golden pill, which is said to be a magic medicine that can 'revive the dead, flesh and bones', and it will definitely alleviate the prince's illness."

Having said that, Jiang Shan is not very sure whether the royal family of Chu will bestow the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

After all, the raw materials of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir are very rare. With the financial resources of the royal family of Chu, they can only refine one furnace a year. There are only twelve pills in one furnace, and each pill is a priceless treasure!
And every year before the furnace is opened, the twelve Nine-Turn Golden Pills are assigned early.

They are either important ministers with power in the court, or the ancestors of the sect family, and sometimes they are legendary figures in the fourth-rank congenital star-picking realm.

The royal family of the Chu State favored the King of the North, and would leave one grain for him every year to help him continue his life.

And this year, the one that belonged to the King of the North had been swallowed by him half a year ago.

Now I'm asking for a second pill...

It is as difficult as climbing the sky!

Among the other owners of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, which one would be willing to hand over the life-saving elixir to others?

Jiang Qingyu frowned slightly:
"Can the nine-turn golden elixir save my father's life?"

He has also heard of this kind of elixir, but he is deeply suspicious of the exaggerated introduction of "the living dead, flesh and bones".

After all, King Rejecting Bei, a congenital third-rank Luminous Sun Realm expert, just had a hidden illness, but he couldn't get cured after taking more than a dozen pills of Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

But Jiang Shan was convinced:

"OK."

"I went to see the prince today, and he told me personally that as long as he takes the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in time, he is sure to prolong his life for three years!"

Jiang Qingyu scratched her head, pretending to ask casually:
"However, the Nine-Turn Golden Pill is a life-saving medicine. Most of them are taken by people as soon as they come out of the oven. Even if some people don't take it immediately, in order to prevent people from being targeted, they will announce that they have been consumed in a short time. "

"Who would hide a Nine-Turn Golden Pill now?"
