Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 307 The Last Time
Lao Hu went to the imperial prison to release the injured Dongchang fan servant.Liu Da led them to leave.

But He Liu stopped him: "Liu Da, I have something to tell you."

Liu Da had an arrogant expression on his face: "Speak if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say!"

He Liu shook his head: "Oh, Li Xueyi hanged himself and died."

Hearing this, Liu Da's arrogant expression disappeared immediately.He was stunned: "She... died?"

People have feelings.Even if an eunuch and a woman live together under the same roof for several years, they still have to develop some feelings.

For example, Chen Hong was sentenced to Ling Chi.Before he died, the thing he couldn't let go of the most was his favorite companion—Meier.

He Liu nodded: "She was hanged by the moat. I asked Wucheng soldiers and horses to report to Shuntian Mansion for drowning. For you and Li Butang, let's save face."

Liu Da asked in a low voice: "Oh, where is she now?"

He Liu told Liu Da: "I have already sent someone to send her body back to Li's Mansion. I advise you not to go to Li's Mansion to make trouble for yourself. You also lacked eight generations of great virtues. You have nothing in your crotch. Do everything possible to marry her back home."

Liu Da hysterically shouted: "Do you think I want this? Commander Lu wanted to form an alliance with the Ministry of Punishment! He asked me to marry Li Xueyi. Dare I say no? I didn't kill her, but Lu Bing! Damn Lu Bing harmed her and me too!"

Liu Da scolded the deceased old commander in Beizhen Fusi, how could He Liu and the eunuchs spare him?
He Liu grabbed Liu Da's lapel, and all the Taibao also surrounded Liu Da.

He Liu said angrily: "Liu Da, you son of a bitch, listen to me! No one can insult Mr. Lu's commander in the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen! I read it because you are the pen of the Supervisor of Rituals, and I will give you Save three points of face! Let me let you go! If there is a next time, I will definitely reward you with thirty slaps!"

He Liu let go of Liu Da, but Liu Da didn't say anything, just turned around silently, and left Beizhen Fusi lonely.

At the gate of Fusi in Beizhen, Liu Da turned around and glanced at the Yamen of Beisi, which he had worked for for more than ten years.He had never felt so alone as he did today.

Two days later, Li Bofeng, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, returned to Beizhen Fusi with one person.

He Liu sent Li Bofeng to Hainan to see off Hai Rui's family members.Later, Huang Jin asked Jin Yiwei to help find Li Shizhen.Coincidentally, Li Bofeng passed by Mount Wuyi on his way home, and heard that a famous doctor surnamed Li had come to the place—it was Li Shizhen.

He Liu and Li Shizhen's old friend reunited.He Liu cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Li, we meet again!"

Li Shizhen said: "Oh, it's been two years since we left Chun'an County! Things are different now. Hu Zongxian committed suicide, Xu Wenchang went crazy, Hai Rui was imprisoned, and my friends in Zhejiang are only Qi Jiguang has a good home. He went to Jizhou to be the commander-in-chief of the army."

He Liu smiled and said, "Could it be that Mr. Li still doesn't consider me a friend?"

Li Shizhen said apologetically, "That's not what I meant. I, Li Shizhen, always make friends with people who care about their country and people. You, He Liu, also care about your country and people. Naturally, you are my friend."

He Liudao: "Eunuch Huang is the palm print of the supervisor of ceremonies. I hope that Mr. Li is like the hope of Yunni in a severe drought. The emperor's body is getting worse every day. I will take you into the palace immediately and give the emperor a pulse."

He Liu led Li Shizhen to the outside of the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Huang Jin was very excited when he saw Li Shizhen. He dragged a broken leg and ran into the hall in three steps at a time: "Your Majesty, Li Shizhen is here!"

Emperor Jiajing had chest tightness and shortness of breath recently, and he also had a constant cough.He got up from the dragon bed: "Li Shizhen is here? Please!"

Li Shizhen entered the main hall and kowtowed to his father.

Emperor Jiajing said: "Forget about that set of vain rituals. Come here and give me a pulse."

Li Shizhen stepped forward, took the pulse of Emperor Jiajing, and observed Emperor Jiajing's tongue coating.

Huang Jin brought a pen and paper: "Master Li, write a prescription for the emperor."

Li Shizhen nodded, and prescribed some warming and tonic medicine to Emperor Jiajing.

Huang Jin asked: "Master Li, how is the emperor's illness?"

Li Shizhen said lightly: "It's nothing serious. As long as you don't get wind or cold, the emperor will live a long life."

Huang Jin praised the Buddha: "Amitabha, Buddha bless! As long as the emperor's illness can be cured, I, Huang Jin, would rather spend all my family wealth and build a golden body for the Buddha to thank him!"

Emperor Jiajing said on the dragon couch: "Huang Jin, after taking the prescription, go to the imperial hospital to get the medicine quickly!"

Huang Jin left with the prescription in hand.

Emperor Jiajing dismissed Huang Jin and said, "Li Shizhen, come here!"

Li Shizhen took the order, went to the dragon couch and knelt down.

Emperor Jiajing tried his best to get up and sat down on the dragon couch: "Li Shizhen, raise your head!"

Li Shizhen looked up and stared at Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing asked: "Doctors are parents. I know that some things are difficult for you to say in front of Huang Jin. Now that Huang Jin is gone, there are only you and me in the hall. I want you to tell the truth, how many more do you have?" Happy New Year?"

Li Shizhen was stunned.

Emperor Jiajing repeated again: "Tell me the truth!"

Li Shizhen originally wanted to make up a lie, saying that Emperor Jiajing just had an occasional cold, and he could live forever after recuperation.But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

Emperor Jiajing sighed: "Oh, tell me, I will forgive you if you say so!"

Li Shizhen lowered her head: "The minister is incompetent and cannot cure the emperor's illness. The emperor's death will be within a year anyway!"

Emperor Jiajing stared wide-eyed: "I only have one year?! Why?"

Li Shizhen sighed: "Alas, more than ten years ago, when I was an imperial physician in the imperial hospital, I had a pulse examination for the emperor. At that time, the emperor's dragon body was healthy. But the emperor couldn't resist eating the pills brought in by the Taoist priests for more than ten years." Ah! Those elixirs are full of lead and mercury poisons! Even healthy people will collapse if they eat those things! Your Majesty’s pulse is weak and his tongue coating is blue and purple. This is lead and mercury. It is an ominous omen that the poison spreads all over the body. I have told the truth, please the emperor give me a death sentence!"

Emperor Jiajing heard the words and shouted: "Where is the forbidden army?!"

Several Fusi from Nanzhen followed the imperial guards into the main hall.

Emperor Jiajing originally wanted to say: "Drag Li Shizhen down and beat him to death with sticks."

However, Emperor Jiajing changed his mind after following the imperial guards into the palace: "Send Li Shizhen out of the capital! Oh, by the way, ask Huang Jin to take 1 taels of silver from the inner carrier warehouse and give it to him! Li Shizhen, I know, you are compiling a book The complete collection of ancient and modern medicine, "Compendium of Materia Medica", this sum of money, I will give you to compile the book!"

Li Shizhen kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After Li Shizhen left, Emperor Jiajing lay down on the dragon couch in all directions.He stared blankly at the dome of the hall.After a long time, he yelled viciously: "Xuan Liu goes to the palace!"

Liu Da entered the main hall: "Slave Liu Da, kowtow to the emperor."

Emperor Jiajing said: "Do one thing for me. All Taoist priests in Chaotian Temple and Lingji Palace will be executed secretly!"

Liu Dao: "I obey the order. If you dare to ask the emperor, Lan Daoxing and Lan Shenxian also want..."

Emperor Jiajing said angrily: "I told you, all of them will be executed in secret! All of them, understand?"
