This piece of warm jade is half the size of a palm, and the half is delicate and white. It has a soft and warm luster under the light, and the other side gradually becomes darker, from creamy yellow to brown.
The color transition is very natural, with more white and less brown.
If you look at it from a single angle, you can even completely block that touch of brown.
The shortcoming is that the brown color is not the color of the jade skin, it cannot be worn off, it does not look like anything, and there is no faint brushstroke like painting. This piece of jade also has no meticulous carvings, but is made into a pendant with a lower circle and a higher point.
It is also very round, not a flat piece, it seems to be a—
Enlarged pine nuts.
Mo Li looked at this warm jade with a blank expression. If it wasn't for the unusual interest shown by the gerbil, he would not have noticed any mystery in the shape of the jade.
Speaking of which, there seems to be a string of amber in the few boxes of belongings in the yard just now. The light yellow is mixed with a slight purplish red color. similar.
The gerbil is not impressed by the amber, can't he help it when he sees the pine nuts
A pine nut that hugs and warms...
Amazing.
The ink carp visually measured the size of Nuanyu, and suspected that the fat mouse could not hold it.
This jade is almost equal to the size of a gerbil, but it is not as round as a gerbil.
"What the prince said is wrong. The one who needs this piece of jade the most now is not someone else, but you." Mo Li said this not only to the prince, but also to a gerbil.
The prince was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Mo Li meant.
Although he coughed continuously, it was not because of the cold. Now that the weather has turned warmer, the hot summer will come after the spring, and his body will not survive the autumn at all. This warm jade is of no use to him.
Manager Chen doesn't understand medical theory, he believes that expensive things must be good, and since the doctor says it is useful, it must be useful.
Warm jade is a rare treasure, that is, a few pieces can be found in the palace, and ordinary people will never see it in a lifetime.
"Your Highness can put the warm jade on your chest, don't leave your body easily." Mo Li thought for a while, and then said, "Is there any similar treasures in the palace?"
Everyone was in a hurry for a while, and Director Chen hurriedly went to the box outside.
Mo Li started acupuncture for the prince. He placed the needles at a very fast speed, and he almost stretched out his hand to flick, and there were three or five silver needles on the prince's body.
The palace servants who unbuttoned the clothes and wiped the sweat for the prince were very careful, lest they touch the needle.
Yu Lan asked them to step back and stood by herself.
After Mo Li used more than a dozen needles, his movements began to slow down. He held the upper end of the silver needle, condensing his internal force into a very fine and subtle way, and stimulated the acupoints and meridians through the silver needle.
After about half a cup of tea, the prince felt itchy throat, and immediately spit out two mouthfuls of black blood.
"Don't move yet." Mo Li stopped Yu Lan without raising her head, and then used her internal strength to adjust the dilapidated and exhausted meridians.
The prince only felt that the chest that was suffocating like a stone was gradually becoming relaxed, and it seemed that tiredness was coming up. Since the serious illness, he has not been able to sleep well every day and every night.
Mo Li collected the needle and washed his hands in the hot water brought by the palace servants.
Yu Lan and a few palace maids were busy re-dressing the prince.
"Strange, this jade..."
The prince looked down at the piece of warm jade, because according to what Mo Li said, Yu Lan put the jade on the prince's heart, and the effect was almost immediate.
"Everything has aura, it's just how much." Mo Li explained.
At this time, Director Chen brought his attendants in again. They collected a bunch of things, all of which were valuable treasures.
There are two pieces of warm jade alone, but they are not as big as the one in front of them. In addition, there are red corals one foot high, Buddha statues decorated with seven treasures, agarwood bracelets and so on.
The most inconspicuous is a pot of rock bonsai.
Mo Li walked over, raised his hand and stroked this porous stone.
Immediately, a faint white mist emerged from the hole in the rock and gradually enveloped the bonsai.
"Isn't this the immortal landscape known as Penglai Stone?"
Everyone looked around, unable to hide their surprise.
"Did Your Majesty like it very much?"
"Yeah, whenever it rains, the mountains and rocks will fog up, and when the clouds collect the rain, they will return to their original state. This is a treasure in the palace of the previous dynasty, and Emperor Chu Ling also loved it."
"But then there were rumors that the stone was sucking the dragon's energy, so the previous dynasty died..."
So this strange stone was rejected by the emperor and put in the storeroom.
The person in charge of the warehouse used it to curry favor with the big man of the Slijian and sent it to him quietly. As a result, the eunuch, the chief eunuch of the Silijian, ate it and hung it down within three days.
Next, whoever moves his mind and secretly occupies or plays with it will definitely be unlucky. The ominous saying that Penglai stone hinders the master has intensified. The most bizarre thing is that even if no one takes care of it, the small pine in the bonsai is still full of vitality.
Isn't this evil
If it wasn't for the fear of smashing a stone and suffering doom, this bonsai would have long since disappeared.
Yu Lan said: "Why did you bring this thing, it's just... Your Highness, the slave immediately took it out."
"Wait a minute."
The prince didn't believe those rumors. He stared at the bonsai and asked in surprise, "It's not raining outside. How did the doctor make this strange stone fog?"
"This is not fog, but aura."
Mo Li withdrew his hand, and the white mist immediately seemed to be sucked back by the rocks and disappeared without a trace.
The several servants behind Director Chen's eyes widened, their faces full of shock, almost thinking it was Mo Li's conjuring tricks.
"Aura?"
The prince was very surprised. He almost thought that Mo Li was going to talk about a set of secret methods and cultivation techniques like an alchemist.
"Aura is invisible and can only be seen in very few cases." Mo Li was also surprised. He knew that there were many treasures in the palace, but he didn't expect to see so many things with aura all at once.
Generally, only living creatures can absorb spiritual energy, such as white foxes, white ginseng and snakes in Qimao Mountain.
However, the spiritual energy in the dead is fixed, and they are considered unique spiritual things.
Fairies can't be changed, but they can be used as rare treasures.
"Prince, have you ever thought about why there are warm jade and cold jade? How can a piece of jade be like a stove or ice, not affected by the outside world, always warm or always cold?"
"This… "
The prince was stunned. He never thought about this. It was as if no one thought about why the jade mined from the same place was bright and translucent, while others were full of impurities. Isn't this a matter of course? Just like a child born by a father, with high or low ability, ugly and handsome appearance, such a rare treasure as Nuanyu Hanyu is born like this, what can I say
Mo Li saw his hesitation and nodded slightly: "They just have a little more spiritual energy."
"… Can be used to heal?"
"No."
Ink vetoed.
Unless a dragon vein like him has practiced martial arts and learned medical skills, and uses spiritual energy as an internal force.
In fact, the ink carp that uses spiritual energy is no better than Qin Lu, who really uses internal force. The effect of spiritual energy and internal force is the same, and there is no difference.
"I just forced out the aura in the stone, and then it sucked the aura back in again. It's like falling rain, the aura from the outside triggers its changes, but these auras will always belong to themselves. Even if they are destroyed , the spiritual energy will only dissipate and return to heaven and earth, and will not be used by people."
Mo Li pointed to the bonsai and the piece of warm jade, and continued, "Just these two things, you can put them next to the prince. There are also thousands of differences between spiritual qi, which are the same for ordinary people, but different for patients. They don't cure the disease, but they make you feel more comfortable and less afflicted by the pain."
This is also the reason why the place where the aura gathers with beautiful mountains and rivers is suitable for recuperation.
The prince nodded involuntarily, and the bonsai was placed beside the bed by the maid, and the relaxed feeling was even more obvious.
The gerbil hid in the doctor's coat to watch the fun. These things were also unheard of. It seemed that "Pine Nuts" had no hope. The gerbil scratched his paws regretfully.
Then it froze, as it ripped the clothes off the thread.
The gerbil didn't dare to move any more, and it carefully retracted its paws to the side, pretending that nothing had happened.
Mo Li didn't know that the lining of the clothes had been poisoned, he instructed Director Chen to take away the remaining things, but the prince did not forget what he wanted to entrust before.
"What does the doctor fancy? The second emperor's brother is alone, I really can't worry about it..."
"If Your Highness just wants someone to take the second prince out of the capital without incident, then there is no need to pay him. Brother Meng and I received the second prince's 100 taels of silver."
Everyone in the East Palace was stunned.
"Originally, the 100 taels were paid by the second prince to buy the assassin to kill the king. Since the emperor is not dead, the money will be discounted, and the rest will be used to send people out of the city."
Mo Li didn't explain why he didn't kill Lu Zhang, but the prince could understand anyway.
But Yu Lan and Director Chen heard that it was Meng Guoshi who received one hundred taels of silver to kill the emperor, but he didn't succeed. Now that the third prince has suddenly gained power, could it be that the emperor has run out of time
"Go on and find a way to find the whereabouts of the sixth prince." The prince quickly thought about the names of the civil and military officials in his mind, and then reported a few names, asking them to go to the palace to find them.
Mo Li didn't want to see him doing useless work, so he said directly: "He is in the mansion of Liu Dan, the general of the bandits."
The prince was stunned again. He didn't expect that Liu Dan had already returned to Beijing, and how did the doctor know about this
"I saw it with my own eyes." Mo Li didn't say that he also lived in the General's Mansion. He put away the silver needle and said lightly, "General Liu's life is not easy."
The prince understands.
The military generals of the Qi Dynasty were always suppressed by the civil officials. Some were condoned by the emperor, and some civil officials just disliked the military generals and believed that the military generals who held military power were all threats.
If the emperor cannot manage, and the civil servants gain power, Liu Dan will naturally have a miserable life.
"The prince still intends to leave the jade seal to the sixth prince to support the sixth prince's enthronement?"
"What does the doctor mean?"
"The Sixth Prince is young, even with the help of a few older brothers, the Qi Dynasty will quickly fall into trouble."
Not to mention that the above two princes are not willing to help the sixth.
The prince smiled wryly, he had no choice, otherwise why did he propose to give the throne to Meng Qi
"Why didn't His Highness ascend the throne on his own?" Mo Li asked calmly.
"Lonely, time is short..."
The prince's tone was astonished, but his expression seemed to be thinking about something.
"The three kings of the Chu Dynasty may not be enough to be afraid of, but the God-given king in the southwest is eager to move, and there are villains such as Shengliantan who deceive the people. It seems that the King of Heaven will not be satisfied with the southwest, and it will be a matter of time before he raises his troops to attack the nearby city palace, and the sword will be directed at the Taijing City."
Mo Li paused, then said, "His Royal Highness does not have much time, why isn't the Qi Dynasty at stake? If Lu Zhang was still in power, he might be able to block it. Now that the sixth prince is paranoid and wants to make trouble, the third prince is trying to use the power of the civil servants. Seeking the dynasty. I think Lu Zhang is narrow-minded, and even now, I can't expect him to let go of his prejudices. If you ascend the throne, at least the three princes will work together."
There is a big difference between being an emperor and not being an emperor.
It's not just a matter of etiquette and sacrificial offerings.
"...After you go, the throne will end with you, and there will be no more emperors in the Qi Dynasty. I don't think there will be any objections, whether the three princes or those in the Wenyuan Pavilion."
The author has something to say:
Warm jade and thousand-year-old cold jade only exist in martial arts novels or fantasy novels.
In fact, there is no jade at all, which can be warm in winter and cool in summer, or cold.
In other words, jade is jade in reality, it can't be used as a refrigerator or a stove, only the possibility of people heating it
If there is a warm jade in a normal article without any fantasy elements, it is probably the warm jade wearing it [shut up] [don't talk nonsense]
