Chapter 256

After such a toss, Yun Zhao woke up the next day and missed the time to say hello.

Because it was Xiu Mu, Xiao Changyin didn't go to the court, and it was rare that he didn't bring the papers for review.

Yun Zhao asked Qiuyue to take the child to play in the courtyard, and when all the palace people in the house had gone out, she sat beside the man with a serious face.

And stretched out his hand to pinch him heavily.

Xiao Changyin wanted to say, it doesn't hurt, and if he is angry, he should pinch harder, but in fact Yun Zhao only pinched a small piece of meat, and then twisted forcefully back and forth, left and right.

So he couldn't help but gasped in pain.

"Yi Yi went out to play, and no one will come in easily at this moment."

"Tell me, what happened to the longevity pill?"

Xiao Changyin was silent for a few moments, then held her hand and said, "Maybe I gave up."

Chen Shu had already returned to the court, and the remaining half of the medicinal materials were not found, and the emperor did not send anyone to look for it.

Maybe it was because they realized that the longevity pill was ridiculous, or maybe they sent someone to continue in private.

In short, if the matter of alchemy is put on the bright side, it will definitely be criticized.

Some time ago, many Taoist priests entered the palace, which already caused dissatisfaction in the court.

Yun Zhao was dubious, but she didn't believe it too much, but she couldn't think of the reason herself, and it didn't have much to do with her, so she didn't think much about it.

This time, he just glanced aside, and began to worry about private visits in Weifu, "Yi Yi is young, it's always not good to stay by your side and travel around."

Xiao Changyin said at this moment, "Then stay in the mother's harem."

Yun Zhao thought so too, but she was still a little hesitant. Fortunately, there was a period of time before Weifu's private visit, so she could think again.

Regarding the longevity pill, the emperor did not give up.

He quietly asked Shou'an to call Shen Nai into the palace, and he chatted in Guangming Palace from daytime to night before the palace gate was locked before he let Shen Nai leave.

When Shou An came back from the palace gate, he saw several young eunuchs surrounded by him.

He frowned, "What's the matter?"

When the young eunuchs saw Shou'an coming, they immediately had a backbone.

Chatting about their worries, it turned out that since Emperor Xia Lie returned to the palace, he had never summoned his concubines at night.

In the afternoon, the Empress Dowager called all the people who served the emperor over to question them carefully.

That's why these little eunuchs are troubled.

The queen mother didn't want to take care of this matter at first, she was in charge of the harem before, she was happy at first, and thought about when she had the opportunity to send girls of the right age from the family into the palace.

After all, the age of the emperor, how many children will he have, and it is not impossible for the children to grow up to be in their teens and twenties.

But later, there were more and more concubines in the harem, so many people came to pay her respects that the palace could hardly stand so many people, so the queen mother didn't have that kind of thought.

She was just going to send the girls from the family into the palace to compete for favor, not to push these flower-like girls into the fire pit.

Without this hope, people in the harem are busy and busy, so the queen mother doesn't want to care about it.

But this time the emperor hadn't visited his concubine for several days, and suddenly he became ascetic, and the empress dowager wondered if there was something wrong with the emperor.

Previously, I wished I could have one concubine every day, and it would be the same for a month. Now, for how many days, I don't see beauties during the day, and I don't let beauties serve me at night.

This is why the queen mother is not suspicious.

The Empress Dowager actually didn't want to care about this matter, but she was the Empress Dowager after all, she was the emperor's mother in name, and if she didn't care about the emperor's body, once outsiders knew about it, she would have to say a lot of bad things about her.

So she specially called the person who was going to wait on her to inquire about the situation carefully.

How did these little eunuchs know, facing the empress dowager's cold face, they just shook their heads blankly.

Seeing that they didn't know what to ask, the queen mother was annoyed, and immediately wanted to get rid of the matter, so that the emperor, who these little eunuchs had to persuade, favored the concubine.

Shouan became numb when he heard that.

A few young eunuchs served tea and water and played fans. They didn't even say a word to the emperor on weekdays, and even persuaded the emperor to favor his concubines. How could this be possible?

I don't know what the Queen Mother thinks.

Shou An waved his hand, "Okay, just pretend you haven't heard what the Queen Mother said."

Several people responded quickly, and then stood in their own positions.

There are quite a few court ladies waiting on them, but they just leave tea and put down the bed curtains to wait for them.

After a while, several people came out.

Shouan closed the door, feeling puzzled.

His Majesty's body... Anyway, the Queen Mother's suspicion must be wrong, and His Majesty's body should be fine.

If there is a problem in that aspect, how can His Majesty still have a smiling face every day.

But now this situation is really wrong.

A few years ago, His Majesty's asceticism, he would have thought it was very likely to happen.

But now... why does he feel so magical?

The emperor didn't fall asleep in the bedroom. At this time, candles were placed on both sides of the bed, and he was flipping a book in his hand.

His brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes darkened, and seemed very sad.

After a long time, he sighed softly and put the book down.

The emperor was thinking about the elixir. On the surface, he gave up, but it was only on the surface.

Weifu's private visit is imminent, and he is unlikely to do something to dissatisfy the officials.

Otherwise, a good reputation will be stained with ink.

As for the Longevity Pill, although the emperor believed in Shen Zhuo, he only had six percent confidence in what he said about the Longevity Pill.

Under the candlelight, the emperor couldn't help but spread his hands and looked at his palms.

The palms are dry, unlike the healthy red skin in the past few years, his eyes are getting darker, he is old, this is a fact that he doesn't want to admit but has to admit.

In the morning court the next day, Xiao Changqi still went to court while supporting his waist.

In fact, the imperial physician came to check his pulse, and politely said that he had to rest first, and it was best to lie down and not get up.

Of course, it’s not impossible to get up. If you get up, it can’t be too long. Anyway, walking such a long way is not enough.

But Xiao Changqi had just been appointed as a supervisor of the country, and he was very happy at this time, wishing he could go to crowded places every day to make a fool of himself.

So where are you willing to lie down and rest, just go up to court every day, and the ones who arrive are the first ones.

Standing on the steps, Shou An looked at the second prince with his chin raised, and carefully turned around while everyone was not paying attention, and glanced at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair from the corner of his eye.

Although His Majesty's face is not dark, the displeasure in his eyes does exist.

And the direction His Majesty is looking at seems to be the prince?

Shouan took another look, and found that His Majesty seemed to be looking not only at the prince, but none of the princes was left behind.

Rao has served His Majesty for many years, and he thinks he knows His Majesty's temperament very well, so he doesn't know what His Majesty is thinking at this time.

After the morning court, just as the emperor was about to tell Xiao Changyin to stay, Xiao Changqi walked up to him in a few steps.

Because of his strides, he almost twisted his waist again.
