The emperor and all the ministers are very satisfied with Zhou Man's work in Qingzhou in the past five years, and have no objection to Zhou Man's joining the Imperial Medical Office, but...
Li Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou has excellent medical skills. If he only serves in the Imperial Medical Office, it will be useless. Will the Imperial Hospital also return to his original position?"
The emperor nodded, and said to Xiao Yuanzheng and the officials: "Let's resume Zhou Man's position as a fourth-rank imperial physician."
Xiao Yuanzheng and Cui Shangshu respectfully replied "Yes", and everyone has no objection to this, after all, her medical skills are there, if she doesn't go to Tai Hospital, they still have objections.
Zhou Man stood up and thanked him for his kindness. The next thing was for the emperor to talk to the ministers. Zhou Man took advantage of this moment to bow his head to eat.
She was starving to death.
I didn't eat much for breakfast on the road, and after I arrived in Beijing, I went through this meal...
Zhou Man bowed his head and ate quickly and quietly, listening to the emperor and the others talk about the establishment of the medicine workshop in her report report just now.
There are people who object, but there are more people who don't mention objection or agree. They directly ask various questions, and Zhou Man knows that they are inclined to agree, as long as these problems are solved.
He was eating and listening with great interest, when he heard the servant report, "Your Majesty, Master Luo Er is here."
The emperor cheered up, and immediately said: "Please."
A waiter came up to remove the food box, Zhou Man dug out a large spoonful of rice and gravy, mixed it, stuffed it into his mouth, took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and chewed while he couldn't see it, while turning his head to look at where he came from.
A waiter led an old monk from a foreign land with white eyebrows and white hair to come. Behind him were two monks, one of whom was holding a tray in his hand.
The little servant removed the food box in front of Zhou Man, and immediately a court lady brought her a plate of fruit and snacks. Seeing her looking over, she whispered: "Your Highness ordered it."
Zhou Man turned his head to look at the crown prince above.
The prince glanced at her with disgust, and then motioned her to look at the old monk.
Zhou Man bent his eyes at the prince, and then went to look at the three monks coming.
Naluo put his hands together, bowed slightly and bowed to the emperor, and said in the Central Plains dialect with a strong accent: "Your Majesty, this batch of pills has been refined very well. A total of three pills have been produced. It will be used by His Majesty for one month."
"Oh?" The emperor sat up straighter, and said with great interest, "Submit it here for me to see."
Zhou Man swallowed all the food in his mouth slowly, and went to serve tea slowly, but his eyes were fixed on the tray in the monk's hand. What kind of elixir, only three pills came out in one furnace
Not to mention their doctors rubbing pills, even in alchemy in other Taoist temples, there will be no less than ten pills in one furnace, right
Otherwise, isn't it a waste of medicinal materials
Gu Zhong offered the tray and opened the box to show the emperor.
There were three round black red elixirs in the box. Zhou Man had good eyesight. At first glance, through the sunlight, the elixirs seemed to be shining golden.
The emperor also saw it, and felt that the elixir looked very tall, so he picked up one and looked at it carefully, and praised: "It is indeed better than the previous one."
The prince was speechless, this is medicine, not clothes, can it be good or bad according to his appearance
He glanced at Zhou Man who was full of interest, knowing that she probably didn't know anything at the moment, seeing that the emperor seemed to be taking the tea, he quickly said, "Father, since this immortal pill is so rare, How about letting Zhou Man see it too?"
As soon as Zhou Man choked, the tea in his mouth spurted out, and then he coughed violently.
All the ministers were not surprised and looked at her silently.
Zhou Man hurriedly wiped his mouth clean with a handkerchief, looked at the emperor... the pill in his hand in shock, "What did your Highness say this medicine is called?"
Needless to say, the crown prince, Li Shangshu, who hated this monk for a long time, took the initiative: "The pill of immortality, it is said that it is a magic medicine from Tianzhu, and taking it can make people live forever."
Zhou Man was speechless, and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, do you believe it?"
All the ministers immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at the emperor. Apart from Wei Gong in his early years, Zhou Man dared to blurt out these words.
After Zhou Man finished speaking, she also felt that her words were not good, and she was too straightforward. She warned herself in her heart to remember Bai Shan's words and be more careful.
But she still couldn't help staring at the emperor, and asked in a different tone, "Do you believe it, Your Majesty?"
The emperor seemed to have sensed her efforts. After glancing at her, he was not angry. Instead, he put the elixir into the box and said, "I don't want to live forever. I just want to prolong my life and live a few more years."
He smiled at Na Luo Er who was standing in the middle: "If I can live to half the age of Grandmaster, I will be satisfied."
Zhou Man looked at Luo You's face, then at his figure, and asked hesitantly, "Dare to ask this master, Gui Geng?"
Luo You had also noticed Zhou Man a long time ago, he took a look at her position and knew that her status was not low, otherwise she would not be able to sit under the crown prince.
When Naluo thought about the title the prince called her just now, his heart moved. It was rumored that there was a female official in Dajin, her status was not low, she was favored by the emperor and the prince, and she was good at medicine.
Na Luo Wei smiled slightly, and said kindly: "It's been too long, I don't even remember how old I am."
The monk behind him immediately said: "The existing records say that it is two hundred years old, but the exact age is two hundred years old, the master can't remember clearly, and only two hundred years ago can be found in the records, so it can only be counted as two hundred years old. age."
Zhou Man was amazed, seeing that Luo You's eyes lit up, "You really lived to be two hundred years old?"
People in Mr. Mo's era had a normal lifespan of two or three hundred years. She never thought that it would be possible in their era. Doesn't that mean that life is indeed common, even though they are far behind here, but there are conditions to achieve it.
You don't have to change your genes like Teacher Mo and the others did at the beginning of the change. You must know that the biggest trouble for Teacher Mo and the others now is some sequelae left by the ancestors after changing the genes.
Of course, no one explained this to her, and the encyclopedia did not have this part of knowledge, but she is not stupid. She has known Mr. Mo for so many years, and Keke leaked something vaguely, so she guessed it long ago.
At this time, Zhou Man stared at Master Luo Er as if she was looking at a treasure. She immediately wiped her hands, tidied up her clothes, and bowed deeply to him, "Master, Zhou Man in Xiatai Hospital. I have done some research in the field of life, of course, my knowledge is trivial and far inferior to yours, so I wonder if I can ask you a question or two?"
The ministers stared wide-eyed, looking at Zhou Man in disbelief.
Zhou Man, you actually believe what he said is true? The ministers really wanted to shake her head to wake her up.
Na Luoer glanced at Zhou Man, and directly refused, he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this alchemy technique is the secret of my Tianzhu, not to mention outsiders, even the monks in our Tianzhu Buddhist temple can't learn it." To arrive, one must be the successor of the national teacher of Tianzhu."
