Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

Chapter 399 What’s wrong with those elixirs?

When Lu Yanzhao saw Emperor Changde in this state, he immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee beside the bed, feeling sad in his heart: "Your Majesty..."

Wang Yuanzheng, who had not been seen for several years and was a bit older, calmly gave up his position to Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng stepped forward and sat down, and checked Emperor Changde's pulse with a solemn expression. After a while, Yu Cheng withdrew his hand, not knowing what to say.How can I save myself from such a waste of my lifespan?

"His Majesty……"

Emperor Changde asked Zuo An to help him sit up. He leaned on the bedside and covered his handkerchief with a cough, and waved the people in the dormitory to leave.

Emperor Changde made a sound like a bellows, stared at Yu Cheng closely, and said: "Sister Cheng, tell me, I want you to tell me, can you still save me? I want to listen to you!"

The hand like a dead branch suddenly grabbed Yu Cheng, as if he was trying to use his last strength to grasp the hope of his own life.The unwillingness and anger in his eyes seemed as if Yu Cheng would take her life if she said something that made him dissatisfied.

Yu Cheng looked back calmly and whispered: "If your majesty keeps taking the medicine I gave you, even if you can't live to be a hundred years old, you can live another ten years. However, your majesty should not trust those alchemists and take those medicines that you should not Food to eat. Now even gods can't reverse the situation, not to mention I'm just a mortal. Everyone in the world has life and death, and no one can get rid of it, not your Majesty, not Yu Cheng."

At first, the existence of those Taoist priests was still a secret, but when Lu Yanzhao returned to the capital from the Nanman army, rumors of the existence of those Taoist priests had already spread in the capital. Before leaving, Lu Yanzhao risked his life to persuade him, but was changed by Chang. De Di scolded angrily.

In the past few years since they left the capital, they had received news from the Sixth Prince from time to time. Later, because too frequent letters aroused Emperor Changde's suspicion, the Sixth Prince had to reduce contact, and even the one in Yu Cheng's hands Liuli Workshop has also gradually encountered various checks and balances and difficulties.

After knowing this, Yu Cheng just asked someone to send a letter back to Beijing, asking Wen Tuo to slowly withdraw their people from the workshop. They would do whatever the people above told them, and they would be given as much money as they wanted. The lives of their own people were what mattered. , there is no need to take risks for a few dollars.For her, the Liuli Workshop is not too important.

However, the Sixth Prince could not deliver the news. The Shang family's trading companies were spread all over the states and counties. From the Shang family, Yu Cheng and others still learned about Emperor Changde's situation.After the great victory over the Southern Barbarians, the world became stable and there were no more crises. Emperor Changde became less and less able to listen to the advice of his ministers. He had a bad temper and was moody, and could not tolerate any objections in the court.

"Bold! I am the emperor, and the emperor wants to live as long as the emperor! I order you to save me immediately, otherwise you and your son..."

Yu Cheng's pupils shrank sharply, and Lu Yanzhao's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists.

But the next moment, Emperor Changde gasped violently before he finished his threatening words. He scratched his throat desperately, his eyes bulging like a fish leaving the water and making its last struggle on the shore: "Quick... elixir... …Give me the elixir…”

Zuo An was guarding the door. When he saw this situation, he immediately ran in. He quickly took out a box from the bedside and opened it. In the box were pills of vermilion pills. After taking one pill, he was about to send it to Chang'an. De Di's mouth.

"Wait!" Yu Cheng reached out to stop him, grabbed the so-called elixir, put it to his nose and smelled it, his face suddenly changed, and he said sternly: "You can't eat this anymore. If you eat another pill, you may not be able to hear something." Accounted for!"

Zuo An was so frightened that he almost dropped the box in his hand.

"Hurry...give it to me quickly..."

Zuo An looked at Yu Cheng for help.

Yu Cheng immediately took out the bottles and cans he had brought with him, found one and handed it to Lu Yanzhao: "Quick, give it to your Majesty." Then he handed over two more bottles. Emperor Changde also wanted to grab the elixir. Lu Yanzhao didn't care, he took off the lid and poured it into Emperor Changde's mouth, scaring Zuo An into a cold sweat.

In the past two years or so, he has become more and more cautious around Emperor Changde, and he has become more and more afraid of death, for fear that if he is not careful, his head will fall to the ground.Seeing Lu Yanzhao acting like this now, he was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.

Yu Cheng performed some acupuncture again. After about a stick of incense, Emperor Changde recovered from his near-death state. He gradually calmed down and his breathing became much smoother. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly. .

Zuo An wiped away cold sweat, only the Marquis and the princess dared to be so bold.After Zuo An repeatedly confirmed that Emperor Changde had really fallen asleep, he led the couple to talk outside.

"Your Majesty hasn't been able to sleep like this for a long time. Princess, this elixir... No, what's wrong with this thing? Your Majesty was really energetic after taking this thing at first. This old slave also thought..."

Yu Cheng frowned and said: "Are the things made by those Taoist priests really edible? There are many deadly things in them, not to mention the addition of addictive things that make people who take them unable to live without it all day long. Dosage It will also gradually increase in size, and the body's internal organs will be gradually eroded by the poison in the elixir until the elixir has no effect."

Zuo An trembled inwardly. Yu Cheng looked at Lu Yanzhao's expression and shook his head: "There is nothing I can do. I can only postpone it for a few days so that His Majesty will suffer less pain."

Zuo An completely collapsed on the ground. Even An and the princess couldn't save His Majesty. Your Majesty really... this time...

Emperor Changde slept for four hours, and Lu Yanzhao and his wife never left. The queen sent someone to send a message that she would take good care of Mumu so that they did not have to worry.

In the meantime, Zuo An also talked to them about the situation of the court in the past two years, and also talked about the affairs of the princes and grandchildren in the palace, among which the ninth prince appeared very frequently. In Zuo An's words, The Ninth Prince has already begun to rise to prominence.

Yu Cheng and Lu Yanzhao looked at each other. In the past few years, the Ninth Prince had been sending various gifts to Mumu along with the Sixth Prince. It was obvious that they were thoughtful.They also have a certain understanding of the Ninth Prince's affairs in Beijing, and now they have made a judgment in their hearts.

It was already night when Emperor Changde woke up. After Zuo An and others waited on Emperor Changde to wash up, Lu Yanzhao and Yu Cheng entered.At this time, Emperor Changde looked calm, his face had regained some color, and his eyes were not as violent as before.

"Sister Cheng is here, come, come and sit next to me. If you don't come back, I and the queen will not have a chance to talk to you." Emperor Changde was very different from before he fell asleep. At this moment, he looked like a kind old man. , facing his juniors.

"Your Majesty, Yu Cheng is willful." Yu Cheng walked over to apologize.

Emperor Changde closed his eyes. Although his mood calmed down, he still could not change his dying breath. This body had decayed and external forces could not change it.

"You are still so indifferent to me," Emperor Changde sighed without opening his eyes. "Tell me, what's wrong with those elixirs?"
