Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 87

After Xie Xi finished speaking, he ignored the cold-faced Cao Lang and strode towards Qianqing Palace.

Because the emperor was seriously ill, in order to prevent unexpected events, there were obviously extra posts in the palace, one post every five steps and one sentry every ten steps, which made Xie Xi feel a little uncomfortable.

When he arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, he was informed by the chamberlain. After waiting for only a stick of incense, the chamberlain invited him into Dongnuan Pavilion.

The emperor was still ill, so the doors and windows in Dongnuan Pavilion were closed, so a small window was opened.

As soon as Xie Xi entered the Nuan Pavilion, he felt a wave of heat hit his face, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his head.

He frowned and saw the emperor, dressed in Chinese clothes, sitting on a soft couch. He stepped forward and gave a casual salute and said: "Father, it's such a hot day and the doors and windows are sealed so tightly. I'm not afraid of you." Is it good to be hot?"

When the emperor saw Xie Xi, he was not polite and said: "It's rare that you think of me, but it's really not easy. Tell me, what kind of trouble did you cause outside, and you came to me to help you mediate?"

Xie Xi said: "Father, I spent a lot of effort to enter the palace today, but I have serious business."

The emperor said "Oh", indicating that he didn't believe it. He only heard Xie Xi say: "I heard that my father is ill and the imperial doctors are helpless. I recommend someone who can cure the disease with medicine."

The emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had been suffering from headaches for four or five years. Even the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital had tried to diagnose him, but they were all helpless. His fourth son, in the eyes of outsiders, had always been out of character, and he had no friends. They were all just friends. He didn't believe that Xie Xi could recommend anyone.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Sun Duzhong opened his eyes and saw Lin Zisu standing in front of him handsomely carrying several boxes of snacks.

"Father, don't pretend to be confused because others don't know the inside story. You know full well that he was wrongly accused."

But after all, it was his son's heart that made the emperor's face soft, and he immediately laughed and asked: "Then tell me, who is this person?"

Unexpectedly, although there were no pedestrians on the street, no Imperial Guards were seen.

The emperor suddenly thought about it, slowly put his hands together, and said: "You are talking about that old man Sun in Huifeng Street in the capital. I heard Cao Shouli and Huang Sheng mention it. Where did you hear it? have to?"

After listening to the master's words, it seemed that she was still blaming herself. Lin Zisu smiled to herself and didn't make any excuses.

There was no obstruction along the way, and Lin Zisu soon arrived at Sun Duzhong's drugstore. Since there were no customers, Sun Duzhong listlessly took a nap against the medicine cabinet.

The emperor nodded and said: "I already know about this. I heard that people from the Dian Prince's Palace have gone there more than once. I am finally relieved that Yang Xingyao's illness has improved. Nowadays, the affairs of the country are difficult, and southern Xinjiang is very difficult. There must be no more trouble."

The father and son did not expect that while they kept secret about what happened back then, Sun Duzhong would tell his apprentice Lin Zisu the inside story of that year in the small drugstore on Huifeng Street.

Sun Duzhong patted the remains of the snack on his hand, took the pill, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and asked curiously: "Girl, where did you get this pill?"

Xie Xi was shocked. His father had known about it for a long time. Lin Zisu was treating Yang Xingyao. I wonder if his father knew about it?

He raised his head and glanced at the emperor. Seeing that his father was speaking as usual, he felt a little at ease and said, "Since my father knows this person, how can I invite him into the palace?"

The emperor felt that this name was very familiar, but he had been feeling dizzy for the past two days and could not remember who this person was.

The emperor's face suddenly became a little tense, and he shouted: "Where did you hear these rumors from? Those words came from his mouth, but I didn't wrong him at all!"

Xie Xi curled his lips and said, "As long as he can cure you, why do you have to think about those messy things?"

Sun Duzhong finished the snacks like a storm, drank two more mouthfuls of water, and then said lazily: "It's so-so, you haven't been here for so long, I almost forgot what the snacks you made taste like."

Lin Zisu let Sun Duzhong eat a few snacks, then went to pour a glass of water for Master, and asked with a smile: "Master, I made these snacks specially for you, have I ever become better at this craft?"

?”

The emperor snorted and said: "Back then, Sun Duzhong treated Jin Cairen wrongly, causing Jin Cairen to give birth prematurely. Maybe one of my dragon sons died at his hands. I didn't chop off his head.

If you give him an advantage, can you still trust him to treat me?"

The emperor nodded gently and sighed helplessly...

Xie Xi originally wanted to say Lin Zisu's name, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he changed his tune and said, "His name is Sun Duzhong. I must have heard of it, too."

She didn't say hello to her parents when she left the house today. She didn't want to stay too long, so she took out the pill that Xie Xi gave her and said, "My family has been very strict during the Wanshou Festival these days, and no one has come out.

Chance, I came here today just to ask Master to help me check whether this pill is poisonous."

Lin Zisu had already made up his mind. After all, his medical skills were still far behind. If he wanted to treat the emperor, he would have to trouble his master for advice.

Xie Xi smiled a little mysteriously and said, "Father, please relax, he will always come to the palace."

She ran out of the house secretly, thinking that the streets must be in a state of depression due to martial law.

The emperor shook his head first, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I heard from Huang Sheng that Sun Duzhong is famous for his bad temper. Are you confident enough to invite him into the palace?"

Seeing his father's thoughtful look, Xie Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and added: "He is the younger brother of Lin Houpu, the former dean of the Taiyuan Hospital. He also worked in the Taiyuan Hospital. Since he resigned from the Taiyuan Hospital,

After working in the hospital, I have been working in the pharmacy to make a living."

Xie Xi was not surprised. It was rare that his father still remembered this person after so many years. There must be a reason. He immediately smiled and said: "I heard that after Yang Xingyao came to Beijing, he went to his hospital to seek treatment from him.

, and now his condition has improved greatly."

Lin Zisu had an impromptu idea today. The pill that Xie Xi gave her could not be dated, so she could only take it to her master Sun Duzhong to identify it.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure it was not an hallucination, and hurriedly walked forward, grabbed the snack from Lin Zisu's hand, and said happily: "You heartless little girl, after so many days, you still didn't come to see the old man.

I thought something had happened to you, so I ran towards your door several times."

In this case, there is no need to be secretive about the origin of this pill. He said calmly: "This is a tribute from the palace for the Longevity Festival. His Highness Prince Dun suspects that the emperor's illness is related to this pill."

Sun Duzhong was slightly surprised when he heard her mention Xie Xi, but he still focused the topic on the pill and said: "This pill is not poisonous. Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty suffered from wind disease, and the golden elixir he used,

It's probably similar to this elixir. It's just that the effect is very strong and you'll be in a state of euphoria after taking it. It needs to be dissipated in time to be fine."

In front of Lin Zisu, Sun Duzhong really couldn't say much about the effect of this elixir, so he added vaguely: "It is the most wonderful medicine to strengthen yang and strengthen essence."

While he was talking, he scraped some powder with his fingernail and put it into his mouth, smashed his mouth, and said to himself: "Strange! No wonder this elixir is a tribute, it really does have some tricks!"
