Chapter 2830 Drinking poison to quench thirst
His Majesty Li Er feels that his ambition has not been fulfilled, so he only needs to be patient. After defeating Goguryeo, he will come back and take advantage of the imperial hegemony of "one emperor through the ages" to purge the court and calm people's hearts. Anyone who disobeys the emperor's orders will be cut off. To reshape the universe and make the world clear, who dares not to follow his own will?
At that time, whoever I want to be the crown prince will be the crown prince. If neither of them dare to take him as the emperor seriously, humph!
It's too late for you to regret it!
The breath in the chest and abdomen was trembling, and I coughed a few times. Suddenly, I felt that the world was spinning. The impetuous breath was suddenly unsustainable. I suddenly couldn't lift up all the strength. I quickly calmed down. The big hands holding the armrests of the chair were due to the exertion. His muscles and bones were already bulging, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Elixir, get my elixir quickly!"
Wang Delue hesitated for a moment, with a worried look on his face, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty...can you please be patient for a while? Those tiger and wolf medicines can easily harm the body if taken too much..."
"Presumptuous!"
His Majesty Li Er shouted angrily. In just a few breaths, he felt as if his chest was blocked by a big stone, and it was difficult to breathe. He was so suffocated that he was in a daze, his head was sweating, and his head seemed to explode. His strength became even stronger. It was poured out, and the eyes turned black for a while. He gasped and said, "Bring it to me quickly!"
"Here!"
Wang De turned pale with fright and did not dare to say anything. He quickly ran to the back hall and took out a brocade box from the drawer of a bookcase next to the wall. He opened it and carefully picked up a brightly colored and round dove egg. He ran out with the elixir and handed it to His Majesty Li Er, and poured another glass of warm water.
After taking the elixir with warm water, His Majesty Li Er closed his eyes and sat on the chair, the cold sweat still dripping from his forehead, and his face was like gold paper.
After a long while, his breathing slowly became steady, his severe headache gradually eased, and his extremely embarrassed expression slowly recovered.
"Huh..."
He let out a long breath, opened his eyes under Wang De's concerned and anxious gaze, and said in a solemn voice: "This headache has been bothering me for many years, and many doctors are helpless. Even Sun Simiao, the god of medicine in this world, is unable to do anything. Only this elixir can slightly relieve my pain, but you, old slave, are always hesitant and want to see me die from a headache?”
"Poof!"
Wang De immediately knelt on the ground and said with tears: "When I see Your Majesty suffering, I wish I could bear the consequences. If there is still good medicine in this world that can cure Your Majesty, I will gladly give it to you even if it is my heart and soul... But Your Majesty you You also know that although the tiger and wolf medicine refined by these monks can relieve temporary pain, it has caused your majesty's dragon body to be eroded, and his energy and physical strength have been deteriorating. How is it different from drinking poison to quench thirst? "
His Majesty Li Er frowned and waved his hands, unable to listen.
He naturally trusts Wang De and knows that this old slave is thinking about him, but what can he do? My headaches are getting worse and worse, and now it has reached the point where it is difficult to breathe every time I have an attack. If it were not maintained by this elixir, it would be unimaginable.
Sun Simiao did give him a prescription, but he only treated him slowly and recuperated for a long time. Normally, he would be able to endure the pain for a while. But now that the Eastern Expedition is approaching, the battle for the reserve is intensifying, and the situation in the DPRK and China is unpredictable, where can he be? Do you have time to recuperate?
Let's use elixirs to maintain them first, and wait until some are on the right track, then take a rest slowly...
He rubbed his temples, and the breath in his chest gradually became smoother. He glared at Wang De and said, "This matter must not be leaked in the slightest. Whether it is the ministers of the previous dynasty or the concubines in the harem, if anyone knows that I have taken the elixir, If it happens, I will skin you!”
"I don't dare!"
"Hmph! Okay, let's get out. I want to deal with all these memorials and have a light New Year with no worries."
"Here."
Wang De walked out and closed the door.
His Majesty Li Er sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest. After a long while, he rubbed his face, grabbed a brush, and unfolded a memorial with ten lines at a glance. He thought about it while reading it, and picked up the pen to review from time to time.
The cold wind howled outside the window, and the sky gradually became gloomy.
A heavy snow is brewing again...
*****
The New Year is approaching, and all the offices in the central government are working hard to deal with official affairs, trying to sort out all the accumulated official affairs, so that everyone can have a good Ontario New Year. If something is delayed, even if you are at home during the holidays, you will inevitably have some problems. I can't fully enjoy the joy of the New Year because of my worries.
After the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, except for a few government offices such as Jingzhao Mansion that rely on maintaining daily security, the rest will be closed and will not be reopened until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Shops in the east and west cities have also gradually completed their year-end inventory, calculated their profits and losses for the year, paid out wages, sealed gates and warehouses one after another, and all shopkeepers and clerks have taken annual leave.
The entire city of Chang'an is filled with the last bustle of the year. In a few days, it will be immersed in rare silence.
Early in the morning, all the Fang family members gathered in the main hall, and the bride served tea to the elders.
Not only Fang Xuanling and his wife had to accept tea from the bride, but also Fang Yizhi, Du Shi, Fang Jun, and Princess Gaoyang were among those who offered tea. It was just a little simpler, and there was no need to bow down like Fang Xuanling and his wife. Simply serve a cup of hot tea.
The third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu, is twenty-eight years old. She is wearing a splendid crimson dress with dark cloud patterns. She is petite in stature and has a beautiful face. Her eyebrows are quiet and delicate, and her behavior is dignified and steady. She reflects the good qualities of a lady in everything. Upbringing.
After the tea ceremony, the family dispersed and returned to their respective residences.
Not long after Fang Jun and Princess Gaoyang returned to the backyard, a maid informed that it was Sanlang Fang Yize who came to visit with his bride...
When Fang Yi came in with his wife and meticulously poured tea for Wu Meiniang, Xiao Shuer, and Jin Shengman, Fang Jun couldn't help but secretly nodded.
It stands to reason that "Little Lu" is the official wife of the third Ming matchmaker, and her status is higher than that of Wu Meiniang and others. However, she did not show off her arrogance as a lady at all. Instead, she came to the door to serve tea in person, showing a "family harmony" It is indeed not easy to have the attitude of "being kind to my sisters-in-law."
After pouring tea, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang and others took little Lu to talk. As the eldest brother-in-law, Fang Jun didn't like to listen to women's conversations, so he took Fang Yize to the back hall to talk.
Before leaving, he handed Princess Gaoyang a color.
Princess Gaoyang blinked slightly to express receipt...
When men go to the back hall, women are naturally more relaxed.
Seeing the little Lu who was obviously relaxed, Wu Meiniang ordered the maid to bring fruits and snacks and put them on the table. Then she made a pot of tea and said to little Lu with a smile: "You are the wife of San Lang Ming matchmaker, but Come and pour some tea for us. There is no such thing as this in the world. We deserve it.”
Little Lu smiled gently and said softly: "Sister Wu is too modest. When she was at home, her mother once told her that rules are important when a family is together, but it is even more important to be friendly and harmonious to each other. Everything will be happy if the family is harmonious. . I am a newcomer, so I should be friendly with my sisters-in-law. ”
This is a good thing to say, but it doesn't say it all.
Fan Yanglu's family is indeed one of the best in the world, but now that the Fang family is prosperous, it is not much worse. According to the truth, it is as Wu Meiniang said. She, the third-bedroom wife, does not have to lower her dignity to pour tea for the concubines in the second-bedroom family. But the problem is that not to mention that the pillar of the entire Fang family is Fang Jun. No amount of respect is too much. Just talking about the two concubines, which one is an ordinary person?
Wu Meiniang was only a concubine, but she was also born in the family of the Duke of the country. She was a first-class lady. However, her family declined and she was reduced to this. However, she was favored by Fang Jun and was in charge of the Fang family's wealth. Treat her like a concubine?
Not to mention Xiao Shuer, the legitimate daughter of the Lanling Xiao family, with the bloodline of the Qianliang royal family, extremely noble.
Jin Shengman is the princess of Silla...
Before leaving the cabinet, Mrs. Lu's mother took the trouble to remind her that when she arrived at the Fang family, she must be gentle and virtuous, especially when she was on good terms with her second wife, so Mrs. Lu naturally did not dare to neglect her.
Princess Gaoyang rolled up her sleeves, revealing a slender white wrist, took off a jade bracelet as green as water, put it on little Lu with her own hands, and said with a smile: "I have not prepared anything that is eye-catching. This bracelet is a gift from my father. Give it to your younger siblings today, but don’t dislike it.”
Little Lu was startled and said hurriedly: "This is too expensive, my sister will never be able to bear it..."
She wanted to take it off and return it, but Princess Gaoyang held her hand down and sighed softly: "Brothers and sisters, please don't be so polite. In fact, speaking of it, I would like to say sorry to my brothers and sisters and ask for your forgiveness..."< br>
Little Lu blinked her eyes, her pure and beautiful face full of confusion. (End of chapter)
