The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1062 Persuasion

"Why is Zitong so angry?" Emperor Yanping coaxed Sheng Ran into the inner hall of Qingyuan Palace, and then asked, pretending to be innocent.

"I am ignorant, and I don't know how many wise kings in history were assisted by alchemists and achieved great success through elixirs." Sheng An also looked puzzled and asked sincerely.

Emperor Yanping was well aware of his wife's temper and knew that she would not take the wrong target. Now that he was talking about alchemists again and again, he must have obtained evidence and could not hide. He could only say nicely: "The alchemists in the palace are different from the others. He is an expert in pharmacology, and the elixirs he makes are round and full, and contain medicinal fragrance... The elixirs I seek are not intended to last forever. I just want to accompany you and Zhuangwa as far as possible, at least to be able to use them with my own hands. Zhuangwa helped her to the throne. Only when she, the successor emperor, can sit firmly can she rest assured."

At the end of his words, his voice was trembling with some choking, which made Sheng Ran's eyes red.

"Why can't I understand your majesty's painstaking efforts? It's just that your majesty is overly worried. With the effect of your majesty's care, it is not difficult to get healthier day by day, but it will only take a little longer.

I understand your majesty's depression. If there is really a health elixir in this world, I will only shed tears of gratitude.

It’s just that there are no shortcuts in this world, and there are no harmless elixirs; the refining process is a mixture of mercury, sand, fire, and saltpeter, just like refining gunpowder; mountains, rocks, and iron tools cannot withstand the power of gunpowder, let alone human beings. Huh? "

"What I have in my hand is an authentic elixir, not gunpowder!" Emperor Yanping ordered his attendants to bring up a round jade box containing several elixirs, and opened it for Sheng An to look at, "Zitong, look, there's something on it. It’s shining with patterns!”

"Your Majesty thinks that the elixirs presented to the Lords of Qin, Han and Tang Ming Dynasties are not as good as the ones in your hands?" It was okay not to see the elixirs, but when she saw the stripes on them, Sheng Anthrax disapproved even more.

"But after I took it, I only felt that my limbs were strong and full of energy, and the feeling of dizziness and dizziness that I felt before became less and less." Emperor Yanping didn't want to discuss the topic of Guan Gong's battle with Qin Qiong, and instead talked about his recent experience of taking the pill.

"Several imperial doctors have said before that His Majesty's medical treatment process is a bit difficult. It is normal to have some discomfort during the process. As long as you get over it, you will be better..." Sheng Ran said halfway when he saw Emperor Yanping's awkward expression. He turned his head to the side and laughed angrily.

"Your Majesty, illuminated by the holy light, will definitely be able to think clearly - those alchemists are all mortals, they know neither magic nor supernatural powers. With just a little pharmacology, they can refine gold and silver stripes. What's the point of the elixir?"

While speaking, Sheng An pointed at a pill and asked Emperor Yanping to take a look at it: "I am ignorant and ignorant. I don't know if gold, silver, copper and iron can be used as medicine or if it has any miraculous effects!"

"You can't just say that it contains gold and silver powder just because it looks like gold and silver!" Emperor Yanping said this, but he originally looked at the lovely and precious elixir, but now he looked awkward.

"My concubine has always been unwilling to trust alchemists. If there is such a powerful person who can refine elixirs, then how come there are no bright masters in this world for thousands of years? If Emperor Qin and Tang Zong did not value elixirs, It cannot be said that great achievements last longer.”

These words were true words, but they were extremely offensive to Emperor Yanping's ears. If Sheng Ran hadn't shed tears when he said this, he would have become furious.

"Your Majesty has been suffering from the pain of medicine since he ascended the throne. The hardships along the way cannot be expressed by the words 'suffering hardships'. Even if I am always with you, I can't understand it. But your Majesty can do it for My concubine and I have suffered so much, why can't I just be patient and cooperate with the imperial doctor to take care of them? Why do you have to be an alchemist and bet that these elixirs are harmless?"

"I..." Emperor Yanping looked at the tearful Sheng An and felt extremely bitter on his lips.

Before, he was afraid that she would be worried, so he ordered the imperial doctor not to reveal the truth. If he hadn't been desperate, how could he have taken the risk of going here?

Emperor Yanping wanted to reveal the truth to Sheng Ran, but Emperor Yanping felt that since he took the elixir, even the imperial doctor said that he was in good health. Talking about it now would only make her worry.

But if he hadn't said anything, looking at Sheng Ran's attitude, he might have asked him to coax all the alchemists out of the palace.

Emperor Yanping was still torn about whether to say something or not, but Sheng Ran had already mentioned the group of alchemists: "I am not in a position to force my concubines to do anything. I am afraid that they are eager for quick success, stimulating your majesty's potential and borrowing your energy for the future. If your majesty insists on trusting them, you will not be able to do anything." If they are asked to use simple medicinal materials to refine these strange elixirs in front of my concubine and your majesty, and then let the imperial doctors take a look at them after they are done, then if they are really harmless, I will no longer object. " Emperor Yanping's face softened slightly when he heard this. Even though he knew that his wife was just retreating in order to advance, he still agreed.

However, when the alchemists who were summoned heard this, they looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, we don't want to, but it's really difficult for us!"

"Hmph!" Sheng Ran sneered and looked at Emperor Yanping.

Emperor Yanping did not expect that this group of alchemists who spoke eloquently in front of him would be useless at this moment, and his face turned red.

He didn't dare to look directly into his wife's eyes.

"It's not that we don't want to expose the inheritance. In fact, it is a one-time elixir. It requires double nine efforts, one at a time."

"That's the truth! The alchemy environment is extremely harsh. Temperature, wind, popularity, light, humidity and other factors all have an impact. If you want to achieve the alchemy pattern, the process is so difficult that it is difficult for the world to know!"

"Has your Majesty sent internal guards to accompany the alchemists in refining elixirs?" Sheng Ancai was not moved by their words and simply asked Emperor Yanping.

"..." Emperor Yanping silently touched his beard.

It's not that he didn't expect it, he just chose a better Cheng Dan.

"Your Majesty... you!" After Sheng Ran had the group of alchemists taken away, she shook her head helplessly at Emperor Yanping.

Emperor Yanping reluctantly handed the elixir he had just squeezed to his chamberlain and asked him to send it to the imperial doctor for study.

Then, he discussed with Sheng Ran: "Zi Tong, please don't drive them out of the palace for now. Let's discuss it later when the imperial doctor has an explanation. How about that?"

Emperor Yanping had already compromised, and Sheng An didn't want to refute it, even if she still disapproved.

After all, the person in front of her was the emperor, and she couldn't help but press forward every step of the way. If he rebelled, it would be difficult to handle.

Seeing Sheng Ran slowly nodding his head, Emperor Yanping breathed a sigh of relief. From the corner of his eye, he saw the chamberlain gesticulating in a low voice, and he immediately thought of Concubine Cen who had his wife imprisoned in Qingjing Palace not long ago.

Hearing the emperor mention this person, Sheng Ran's calm mood suddenly went up and down.

"Your Majesty will not mention that person, but I still want to ask you! You want to borrow the power of the alchemist to find a way to regulate your body. But how dare you use the person recommended by Concubine Cen?"

Sheng Ran looked at Emperor Yanping with disapproval: "Her two grandsons are imprisoned outside the palace and cannot be freed. They are the only two remaining heirs of Prince Jing!

With her love for her only son, King Jing, how can she not have any objections to you and your concubine? ! Or do you really believe the farce between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the clan mansion? ! "
