Chu garlic

Chapter 12

The sorcerer Ge Hongxian has a strong personality, black hair and beautiful face, known as "Ge Xiangong". He refines elixir in the alchemy room. Sometimes the fire will burst out of the alchemy furnace, and the alchemy furnace is hidden in the sand furnace, and a little Lingtai rises.Sima Yan came here to inspect the elixir.

The eunuch Muye sang loudly: "Your Majesty is here!"

Ge Hong hurriedly beat Jishou: "I don't know that His Majesty is coming, but the poor are far away to welcome you!"

"Ge Xiangong is exempt!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Ge Xiangong has lived in Luofu Mountain in seclusion for many years, and has many children. I ordered you to come to the palace to make a special trip to refine the elixir for me. Instead, your face became more and more rosy, and you have a fairy air that seems to be there!"

"That's because His Majesty's holy car arrived, and the auspiciousness of the dragon's descending inspired the immortal energy to soar! Pindao has been fond of the method of guiding and raising immortals since he was a child, and he learned alchemy from Zheng Yin, a disciple of his grandfather Ge Xuan. While refining the immortal medicine In terms of cultivating Taoism and becoming immortals, Pindao thinks he has a lot of experience." Ge Hong complimented.

"Oh? What experience does Ge Xiangong have? Let me hear it." Sima Yan was very interested.

"Looking at all the precepts, it is said that those who want to live forever. Those who want to be immortal should be based on loyalty, filial piety, gentleness, and benevolence. If you don't practice virtue, but practice alchemy, you will not be able to live forever. Therefore, immortals should keep their health in mind, and Confucianism should be the world's. External, both internal and external, Shiyin is versatile."

"Ge Xiangong is well-read and well-connected. He not only refines elixir, but also is proficient in medical skills. He has written books and poems, which are extraordinary!" Sima Yan praised.

"Your Majesty has a great reputation! Your Majesty, the lord of ten thousand chariots, is dedicated to every opportunity. If you take this elixir of immortality in moderation, it can open up the meridians and sharpen your orifices, strengthen your foundation and cultivate your vitality, and prolong your life by taking it for a long time. I only hope that your majesty will be healthy and the world will be peaceful." !"

Sima Yan turned his back and drove to Xianyang Hall.Empress Du poured acacia flower tea for Sima Yan: "Your Majesty reviews memorials every day, works hard for state affairs, and seeks the well-being of all people. Your Majesty has suffered from insomnia and dreams in the past two days, and my concubines are very worried! Acacia flower tea can calm the mind and clear the heart, and relieve depression. Complemented with candied fruit, it is even sweeter and more delicious. Drink it quickly, Your Majesty!"

"Sweet in the mouth, really good tea! The queen has a heart!" Sima Yan praised.

"It is the duty of ministers and concubines to share worries for His Majesty. The ministers and concubines only wish to serve His Majesty with all their heart, and to continue their heirs for His Majesty!"

Du Lingyang has been in the palace for more than two years and has never been pregnant. Sima Yan comforted him: "I and the empress are still young, there will definitely be a prince!"

Makino came over with a box containing the elixir: "Your Majesty! It's time for medicine and food!"

Sima Yan opened the pill box, took out an ink pill, and put it in his mouth: "Queen, this is the elixir that Ge Xiangong personally refined for me. It has miraculous effects. It can strengthen the body, prolong life, strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality."

"How does Your Majesty feel after taking the elixir?"

"I feel much refreshed! The elixir also has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. I can order Ge Xiangong to refine it for the queen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Speaking of which, Ge Xiangong is still my concubine's cousin! Ge Xiangong has lived in seclusion for many years and has never seen each other, so my concubine will choose a day to visit Ge Xiangong."

Sima Yan took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and sighed.

"It's fine, why is your majesty sighing? Is there something on your mind, can you come and listen to me?" Empress Du was very concerned.

"Five horses crossed the south, the emperor's grandfather established Jiangzuo, Wang Dao contributed a lot, and the king and the horse shared the world. The father quelled the Wangdun rebellion, relying on the Yangtze River's natural moat, and the side is on the Jiangzuo. Uncle Yu Liang is from me. He was in control of the court when he was young, but fortunately he has the elders of the three dynasties to check and balance him, I am like a puppet above the court, now that I have grown up, I will slowly regain the power of the court!"

Empress Du understood Sima Yan's situation, and comforted her: "The concubine is willing to do her best to relieve His Majesty's worries and labor, and help His Majesty regain the imperial power as soon as possible!"

Sima Yan's eyes glistened with tears: "Back then, my uncle was suspicious and pressed every step of the way, which caused Su Jun's rebellion, which made my mother worry about being humiliated and committing suicide. Every time I think of this, my heart is full of arrows, and I can never forgive my uncle. Now, Hu Ma peeps at the river, Jin Shu and tiger watch, powerful enemies surround us, internal and external troubles, the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty is not stable, and the wind and rain are precarious. I am so worried that I can't sleep at night!"

In Huiyin Hall, Zhou Meiren rubbed a jade pendant affectionately, with a sad and dull expression.This jade was a gift from her childhood sweetheart, A Ming. Zhou Meiren always regarded it as a treasure and wore it with her. The jade pendant contained all her girlish feelings, the love of her life.

Zhou Meiren murmured to herself: "Brother Ming, you and I are childhood sweethearts, but fate forced us to separate! It's unfair to beat mandarin ducks! Ping'er doesn't want to come to this treacherous and weird palace! There is only endless love here." I am a weak girl, but I am a pawn being used! If I am not careful, I will be murdered! The disaster of extermination! Ping'er is terrified every day, this head on the neck, at any time. May no longer be my own!"

Zhou Meiren burst into tears, it was so bitter, and Qiu Han, the personal servant of the palace, handed a piece of Luopa: "My Lady! Don't be too sad, maybe this is the arrangement of God. It is destined that My Lady and Minglang will never have a relationship in this life."

Zhou Meiren didn't seem to hear Qiu Han's words, she was still immersed in her memories, and sobbed softly: "Brother Ming, you gave this ancestral jade pendant to Ping'er, it's so crystal clear, so soft, it always warms Ping'er's heart We are about to get married, but we did not expect that Ping'er has come to this cold deep palace. The night in the palace is so cold, so cold, Brother Ming, Ping'er is so scared, Ping'er is so cold! Ping'er I miss brother Ming, I miss my parents. How much Ping'er wishes you could be by my side at this moment! It would be nice to even talk to Ping'er!"

Zhou Meiren was heartbroken, tears poured down, and she picked up a glass of poisoned wine prepared on the case.Zhou Meiren looked at the poisoned wine and laughed loudly: "Poisoned wine? Good wine? Maybe you will be free after death! Ping'er's heart will not be so painful! Life is so happy, death is so hard! Father, mother, daughter is not filial Brother Ming, see you in the next life!"

Zhou Meiren wanted to toast and drink poison to kill herself, but Qiu Han took it desperately when she saw it, spilled the wine on the floor, knelt down, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, you can't commit suicide! If Your Majesty goes, they will definitely silence you, Patriarch! , The mistress will be killed! For the sake of my parents, for Ming Lang, the empress must live and live! The maidservant understands how bitter the empress is in her heart!"

Zhou Meiren cried out Qiu Han's name affectionately: "Qiu Han!" Qiu Han responded: "Your Majesty!" The two embraced and wept.After a while, Zhou Meiren wiped away her tears, made a bold decision, and whispered to Qiu Han, she decided to make a subterfuge, quietly replace the alpine pollen with ordinary pollen, to conceal the enemy's eyes and ears, give time, and then wait for an opportunity to find a way Save the parents.
