Gu Yanxi coughed lightly, and the emperor came back to his senses, "No need to be polite."
Shaoyao stood up and looked at Brother Yan, and Gu Yanxi nodded slightly to her.
Shaoyao came forward carrying the medicine box, placed the small medicine pillow on the wide armrest and patted it.
The emperor laughed and put his hand on it.
Doctors usually treat patients by observing, smelling, asking and palpating in turn, but Shaoyao did the opposite. She felt the pulse first, then observed, smelled, asked and palpated. Then she concluded: "Let the emperor know that there is no magic medicine in the world that works immediately after taking it. All medicines with such effects must be at the cost of harming the body."
Shaoyao put the small medicine pillow into the medicine box and continued, "If this golden elixir is really as useful as they boast, why would those heavenly masters have to pretend to be masters everywhere? Wouldn't it be enough for them to just eat their meals and be gods? Why bother with ordinary mortals?"
The emperor of the secular world...
"You shouldn't have taken the medicine for long. Although it has damaged your foundation, I am confident that I can still save you." Shaoyao suddenly changed the topic, "Are you having some difficulty remembering things now?"
“Yes…” The emperor, who was tricked, subconsciously looked at Gu Yanxi, and as expected, his face turned dark.
The emperor nodded at Shaoyao, who was not afraid at all. "This pill is more powerful than any I've ever seen. According to what I've seen before, it shouldn't hurt the body in a short period of time. Brother Yan, do you have a golden pill? Show it to me."
Gu Yanxi glanced at the emperor's uncle and said, "Ren Ba."
Ren Ba pushed the door open and walked in, handing over several brocade boxes.
The emperor turned his eyes away. He knew without thinking that these were all the ones he had hidden.
Shaoyao picked up one and smelled it first, then her brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito. She took the two boxes and stood up, saying, "Give me a room. I want to study it."
As soon as Gu Yanxi saw Shaoyao's expression, he knew something was wrong, so he asked Lai Fu to take the person to the next room immediately, and asked the imperial physician, who had been waiting outside with weak legs, to go with him, taking a pile of medical records, in case Shaoyao had anything to ask.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and their hearts sank.
It took nearly two hours for Shaoyao to come out of the house. "The ratio of the elixir is four times that of the golden elixir I have seen before."
You could hear a pin drop in the imperial study.
After a while, the emperor asked, "If I take it for a long time..."
"How many pills do you take a day now?" Without waiting for the emperor to answer, Shaoyao continued, "You should take two pills a day at first, then increase to three after a few days, and then four or five. If I'm right, you should take six pills a day now."
The emperor agreed in silence.
"The amount will increase in the future. If you don't take it when you need it, you will lose your energy. You won't remember what you said the next moment. You won't be able to concentrate. You won't even be able to remember people's names. I guess you should have these symptoms now."
The emperor secretly tightened his hands but couldn't control his trembling. He said in a hoarse voice: "Can this symptom be relieved?"
"Yes." But the injuries were already too severe to be saved. When she understood the ingredients and proportions used in the golden elixir, she knew it was bad. This kind of golden elixir was simply meant to take lives.
Gu Yanxi asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't the imperial physician notice anything unusual?"
"I have already detained the person. There is no need to skin him and remove his tendons. Leave him to me to test the medicine. Also, I need to see the Emperor's diet during this period."
Lai Fu understood, bowed and left quickly.
The palace is about to change!
During the waiting time, Shaoyao was not idle either. She carefully took the emperor's pulse again, and then boldly let a little of the emperor's blood flow while she squatted and thought.
Gu Yanxi had already gone over the whole thing in her mind and got up and went next door.
"Call Qu Qi to see me."
Qu Qi came over dressed in the clothes of a palace maid, with his head lowered and his face humble, just like any other servant that could be found everywhere in the palace.
He knelt on one knee in front of Gu Yanxi, "Chief."
"Has there been any abnormality with the second brother recently?"
Qu Qi hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I didn't find anything unusual."
Gu Yanxi also believed that the second prince was the least suspicious. The eldest and the third prince were stronger than him. Even the newly rising fourth prince was no worse than him because of his powerful in-laws. If he tried to do something like this when he was still young and immature, who would benefit from it? Moreover, his mother, Concubine Hui, was not favored, so he could not persuade her.
"Go check on the boss. Wait, something is not right." Gu Yanxi's brows were cold. "Use the people in the palace to check on Concubine Rong, Concubine Liang, and Concubine Xu. I want to know who they have met during this period and whether they have had any abnormal contact with their natal family. Also, spread the news that the Seven Constellations have captured a celestial master."
"yes."
The eldest prince's mother, Concubine Rong, the third prince's mother, Concubine Liang, and the fourth prince's mother, Concubine Xu, the problem must be among these three, and the first two are more likely. Gu Yanxi stroked the jade ring. No blood is seen. You are so ambitious that you can swallow the sky!
With a bang, Gu Yanxi appeared outside the door in a flash, and quickly told Xiao Wu, who was guarding outside the imperial study, "Watch out."
"yes."
The imperial study was in a mess, with things falling over and breaking. The emperor stood in front of a wide chair, breathing heavily. Lai Fu knelt on one side, not daring to raise his head. Shaoyao was not affected at all, holding the cookbook and reading it intently with a frown.
Gu Yanxi ran to the emperor's uncle and supported him. She could feel the burning temperature of the emperor's uncle through his clothes. "Peony, come and see what's going on."
"No problem. The emperor is anxious because he hasn't eaten the golden elixir for a long time. He will be like this when he is stimulated by something." Shaoyao looked up, "Brother Yan, someone has tampered with the menu. The amount of mutton smell and various meats is greatly excessive. I made a comparison and found that it is twice as much as normal. If the emperor didn't take the golden elixir, it would be fine. He just ate a little greasy. But the problem is that the emperor is taking the golden elixir, which further stimulates the medicinal properties of the golden elixir."
"Good, great, you can't wait any longer!" The emperor sneered, "I will issue an edict right now, Yan Xi, you will be the crown prince."
"Those with damaged appearance are not allowed to serve as officials in the court."
"I'm not asking you to be an official, I'm asking you to be an emperor!"
"Rules cannot be broken." Gu Yanxi didn't even blink, "If you think my face isn't broken enough, I'll give it another blow."
"Pa!" The emperor slapped him directly in the face. His chest heaved violently, and he could no longer say the words about appointing a crown prince.
When Yan Xi got injured on the face, he knew that it was not an injury in a fight with the enemy as he said. It could only be that he did it himself, in order to reassure himself and those others.
Yan Xi saw most clearly how much he despised this position, he even felt that if it were not for his uncle, he would never have become the leader of the Seven Stars Division and would have left the capital and the court long ago. As soon as the Queen Mother left, he would come back to avenge his mother and Shaoyao.
He always knew that his love for this child was not in vain.
