Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Chapter 11: Pulled to sacrifice to heaven
The sudden cool lights from the Hall of Eternal Life blinded Shi Jing.

Shi Jing has lived in the mansion of a first-class official since he was a child. He has seen the world, but he has never seen such an outrageous thing: "Du Jiyan, what was so bright just now?"

"I didn't see it clearly." Du Jiyan quietly threw the flashlight into the small pond. If Shi Jing found the flashlight, he probably wouldn't be able to explain it to her all night long.

"I seem to have seen the imperial concubine and a man wearing a nine-yang scarf in the Hall of Eternal Life. Du Jiyan, did you see that?"

Du Jiyan hissed.

It was because of seeing the scene in the Palace of Eternal Life that Du Jiyan felt that the points might not be enough again.The imperial concubine and the warlock were in the Palace of Eternal Life all night. I wonder what the two of them were holding back.

The only solution now is to earn points quickly to prevent unexpected events.

Returning to Yongfu Hall, Du Jiyan first asked Shi Jing to play three games of chess, and then helped Tian Lingyue play a knot, which made the nuns marvel: "Little Master Du is not only outstanding in appearance, but also hard-working." "When I first entered Yongfu Hall, I was very sick and could not get out of bed, but suddenly I got better and was able to open my collaterals."

After working all night, I earned forty points.

At dawn, Du Jiyan caught Shi Jing and went to play chess. Shi Jing was so frightened that he did not dare to sit with Du Jiyan during dinner.

Du Jiyan also took over the tasks of the beautiful ladies, such as tying clothes, weaving fan pendants, and embroidering purses.

Earning points was too high, so Du Jiyan got up later.

The Yongfu Palace was bustling with excitement. It turned out that Guiyuan from Jingren Palace had come to deliver a message.

The beautiful ladies were of low rank and could not go to Jingren Palace to pay their respects without being escorted to bed.

Therefore, the ladies of various palaces held a meeting in Jingren Palace, and the ladies’ right to know had to be communicated through longan.

"Your Majesty invites the empress and young masters to come to Danbi Palace to take the golden elixir together." The news brought by Guiyuan made Xiu Nu and the nuns happy.Danbi Palace is a palace in the southeast of Chen State.It's about a stick of incense away from Yongfu Hall.It is closer to the Emperor's Palace of Supreme Harmony.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, Danbi Palace has been mainly used for refining alchemy pills. If there is something strange in the Chen Kingdom, they would ask warlocks to do the magic, or ask shamans to dance with the gods. Serious things are probably not done here.

Since the death of the Supreme Emperor, the little emperor ascended the throne, and little Hunjun has no one to control him.

Danbi Palace suddenly became lively, and there was endless work all day long.

Xiaohunjun loves this feeling of not doing his job properly.

The quality of the golden elixir refined in the palace should be good, and the alchemist hired is probably also a master from outside. However, the golden elixir is made from mercury, sulfur, lead, and other metal elements. Metal elements and other Toxic substances, excessive use or improper use can cause harm to the human body.

I don’t know what kind of armor Xiaohunjun is wearing, but he seems to be able to withstand damage. He has been taking the golden elixir for several years. This year, he even invited the ladies from the East and West Sixth Palace to share it.

In the center of Danbi Palace, there is a water and fire cauldron as tall as one person. The one where gold and stone materials are placed is called the fire cauldron. The one where cold water is stored to condense the golden elixir is called the water cauldron. Four alchemists surrounded the water and fire cauldron and chanted silently. One of them The alchemist was the Kongshang Master who went to the Hall of Eternal Life that night. Du Jiyan recognized him at a glance. He was the only one wearing a Nine Suns Scarf on his head, and the other three wore lotus scarves.

The emperor watched with his hands tied.

Xiaohunjun is very interested in water and fire cauldron refining elixir.

Master Kong Shang added some more cinnabar, mercury sand, mica, Rong salt, gallnut, ganoderma, etc. into the fire cauldron.The concubines were sitting in Danbi Palace drinking tea.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Master Kongshang saluted the emperor and said, "After a while, the golden elixir will be ready. Because the materials used are expensive, the refining is cumbersome, and it is blessed by the yin and yang of heaven and earth, so the golden elixir is only One pill is for the emperor to take, and the rest of the red pills are for ladies to use."

"You are the one who refines elixirs for me every year. I can trust you." The emperor pressed Master Kongshang's shoulder.

"Bang bang. Bang bang bang." Continuous explosions sounded in Danbi Palace.

The water and fire cauldron first vibrated and then emitted white smoke.

The entire Danbi Palace was suddenly shrouded in smoke.

"Escort——" Gao Rang quickly helped the emperor enter the inner hall of Danbi Palace.

Chen Guo's alchemy mainly used fire refining methods, and saltpeter and sulfur were the most commonly used pharmaceuticals. They met in the alchemy cauldron and were heated together. If some herbs, oils, honey and the like were added, , constitutes a primitive gunpowder formula, and the accident of "exploding the tripod" will inevitably occur.

In the final analysis, the master of the sky overturned.The golden elixir was not refined, and the pot exploded.

This is so smoky, cough cough cough
"It is a rule that the emperor takes a golden elixir at this time every year. This is not the first time for you, Master Kongshang, to make elixirs for the emperor. Why are you so careless? What should you do if you hurt the emperor?" Noble Concubine Meng Yuzhu said with a handkerchief He covered his mouth and nose and knelt down in front of the emperor: "The emperor should punish Master Kongshang for his crimes."

Master Kongshang quickly knelt down.

"Tell me, what happened? Why did it explode?" The emperor leaned on the couch.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. The previous times of making alchemy were all good, but this time the explosion of the cauldron was really God's will."

"Oh? God doesn't want me to take the golden elixir?"

"Alchemy requires materials and the coordination of yin and yang of heaven and earth. Now I am afraid that someone destroyed the coordination, so the golden elixir was not completed. The water and fire cauldron also exploded."

"Who dares to ruin the emperor's important event?" Imperial Concubine Meng Yuzhu stood up.

Master Kongshang put his five fingers together, squinted his eyes and calculated for a while, and then said slowly: "This person was born at the end of the day in Shen Yue He Dao."

Master Kongshang, are you so timid? Why don’t you just report my ID number?

When beautiful ladies enter the palace, they submit their horoscopes first.It was easy to find out that this person was Du Jiyan.

At the time of the draft, the horoscopes were unfavorable to the emperor, so they were eliminated in the first game.

The queen couldn't bear to see the little beautiful girl suffer this: "Du Jiyan's horoscopes were seen by the Qintian Prison at that time."

"Don't people in the Qintian Prison make mistakes? The explosion of the cauldron today means that the people in the Qintian Prison are wrong." Meng Yuzhu beat the emperor's leg.

"Pull him to sacrifice to heaven." The emperor squinted his eyes and let Meng Yuzhu pinch and pinch his thigh.

A foolish king is in power.

Du Jiyan had no choice but to lie on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"What else do you have to say?"

"My servant believes that taking the golden elixir will be harmful to the emperor's body...it is better not to accept it."

"I think you are dissatisfied. Take him away to offer sacrifices to heaven." The emperor simply covered his face with a folding fan.

Pulling him away to offer sacrifices to heaven means giving him death.

Master Kongshang and his team have already helped Du Jiyan recite the mantra for rebirth. Master Kongshang seems to be more skilled at reciting the mantra for rebirth than refining alchemy.

"Your Majesty, the explosion of the cauldron in Danbi Palace was not caused by the slaves, but by Master Kongshang's inability to refine the elixir." Du Jiyan could no longer hold back.

Master Kongshang’s face turned pale.

Little beautiful girl, you really take revenge on the spot when you have a grudge.

The emperor sat up and said, "Why do you see it?"

"Your Majesty, this kind of water and fire cauldron was made by Master Kong Shang, but his skills are not perfect. With the same water and fire cauldron, someone can make the golden elixir well."

"Who?"

"Me." Du Jiyan raised his head.

"Hurry up... pull her to sacrifice to heaven." The emperor called Gao Rang, and thought strangely that the beautiful girl in front of him looked familiar. Isn't this the fool who poked his face with the mirror a few days ago?A fool actually said she could make elixirs?This is really a good material for offering sacrifices to heaven.
