Of course Prince Gong knew where Tianzhu was, but he didn't think it was a big problem, "It's not far to send troops from Gaochang."
"What about after it's defeated?" The emperor took a sip from his teacup and said slowly, "Crossing the Gobi high mountain desert, sacrificing thousands of soldiers, and consuming countless food and grass, just to satisfy my heart?"
"But if people in the world know that Monk Tianzhu cheated the emperor but was not punished, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the emperor and the royal family?"
"No one in the world will know," said the emperor, "Who did Zhou Man tell?"
Zhou Man didn't even tell Prince Gong, the person involved in forcing the blood, let alone other people, then Luo Er's lifespan would only be a secret, only known to some people.
And the matter of him refining poisonous pills to murder the emperor is even more confidential, so let this matter be a secret.
The emperor didn't want to pay more for his own spirit, he had already paid enough in the early stage.
Prince Gong left the palace depressed, feeling that Zhou Man was getting closer to him when his father said that.
Sure enough, Zhou Man did not tell outsiders the results of the blood test. Except for Ming Da and the others, no one knew that Luo Er was actually only in his eighties.
But this is not a big secret after all, so Zhou Man told Mrs. Liu and her parents about something strange, and Bai Erlang also told Yin He and Liu Huan...
More and more people know about it, but they are all private rumors, and there is nothing on the surface.
As soon as these rumors came out, all kinds of rumors about the emperor's physical condition were suppressed during this period.
The Xuandu Taoist who stayed in the princess mansion used Na Luo's blood to refine the elixir. It is said that after Princess Mingda took it, she could get out of bed and walk within a few days, and then she was completely healed after two days.
Zhou Man was ordered to go to the Princess Mansion to give Princess Mingda a pulse.
When she arrived, a group of princesses and concubines were having a party in the princess mansion. It was rumored that Princess Mingda, who was still sick, was enjoying the snow with a stove in the garden pavilion.
Zhou Man and a medical assistant came with a medicine box, and saw that she was holding a piece of venison to eat, "You came just in time, Sister Changyu brought a venison leg, which has just been roasted."
Zhou Man entered the pavilion with a smile, and led the medical assistants to bow to everyone. Changyu hadn't seen her for several years, and before she could bend down, he grabbed her, pulled her to his side and said, "You and my sister pay attention to these vain etiquettes. What are you doing? Come and sit down, and taste the meat I roasted, will it improve?"
Zhou Man pressed her hand, glanced across the pavilion, and smiled flawlessly, "Princess, the officer is still on duty, and the officer was ordered to diagnose Princess Mingda's pulse."
Changyu: "Mingda is sick or not, don't you know?"
Someone in the pavilion burst out laughing, and Zhou Man said helplessly in a low voice: "The responsibility lies."
Chang Yu could only let go, "Okay."
Mingda smiled and sat down on the chair, reaching out for her to feel her pulse.
Zhou Man and the others sat on the chairs on the other side with a slight bend over. The medical assistant opened the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow and put it away, then bowed and stepped back to stand on one side.
Zhou Man felt Mingda's pulse, nodded and said with a smile: "The princess is much better, but she is still a little weak. Be careful of the cold recently, venison..."
Zhou Man glanced at the venison that was being turned over on the iron plate, couldn't hold back his saliva, and said, "Eat less."
Mingda held back a smile and nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Man stood up, "Princess, I'll go get the alchemy prescription with the priests of Xuandu Temple, so I won't disturb the princess' hospitality."
"Okay, come here, take Mr. Zhou there."
"Wait a minute," Princess Ankang called the master, got up and walked to Zhou Man, looked around her, and said with a smile, "Master Zhou is the owner of Liyang County, right?"
Zhou Man was stunned for a moment and then replied: "Yes."
"The mansion is right next to me. I will be a neighbor from now on. I don't know when my sister will move in. I will post a post for my sister when the time comes, so that I can come to congratulate her on the housewarming."
Ming Da introduced: "This is Princess Ankang. Although you are not a daughter of the clan, but you were named princess by your father, it's okay for my sister to call you a younger sister."
Zhou Man responded with a smile, greeted Princess Ankang, and said that he would send a post when the time came.
When the others heard this, regardless of whether they knew Zhou Man or not, they all expressed that they wanted to go to the lively place together.
Among those present, apart from Prince Gong's mansion, the other princess mansions were not as favored as Ming Da and Chang Yu.
Princesses and princes like them who are far away from the capital, not to mention real power, are not as favored in front of the empress as Zhou Man, a foreign minister.
Not to mention that Zhou Man has made countless contributions since he became an official, and he is extremely favored in front of the empress and the prince, so no matter what they think in their hearts, they want to make friends with her on the surface.
Especially Zhou Man and Mingda Changyu have a good relationship.
Even some people who disdain Zhou Man's background are smiling at her at this time.
Zhou Man exchanged a few words with them and then left, going directly to the people from Xuandu Temple.
The Taoist priest of Xuandu Temple is packing up his things and preparing to leave. The elixir has already been refined, so there is no need for them to stay any longer.
Daoxu put the pills refined in the past few days into a bottle, and when he saw Zhou Man, he immediately waved to her, "You came just in time, this time we refined a lot of medicines in the Princess Mansion, and one of them is very delicious. Quan Da Bu Pill, do you want to leave two pills for you?"
Zhou Man stepped forward, "Do you have a prescription?"
"Yes, don't worry, it's not poisonous. It's a life-saving medicine. My master has practiced it three times in his life. If it wasn't for entering the princess mansion this time, many of the medicinal materials in the mansion are for us to use. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to practice it in my life." system."
Zhou Man read the prescription, his eyes brightened, "Two pills."
Dao Xu happily gave her two pills.
Zhou Man glanced over and saw that they had filled a lot of bottles and cans. He was surprised, "How much medicine did you refine in ten days?"
"Hehehe, in order to portray the image of us working hard to refine the pill, we have been refining it every day for the past ten days, right Senior Brother Yu?"
Yu Daochang smiled and said yes.
Zhou Man asked: "Is it really okay to give me this Shiquan Dabu pill?"
"Okay, take it," Daoxu said indifferently: "The princess said at the beginning that all the pills we made can be taken away, and Guanli also said that the pills we made can also be kept for ourselves. It’s just that you can’t leak the wind outside.”
"This Shiquan Dabu pill was made by me and Daohe, and it is at my disposal. I also shared a pill with Senior Brother Yu, which is for you."
Zhou Man accepted it, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good brother."
Daoxu winked, "I and Daohe can also come to alchemy thanks to you."
"By the way, where is Daohe?" Zhou Man looked around, but found no one.
Daoxu took a look outside, scratched his head, "Are you looking for Bai Er? By the way, a few days ago, Bai Er brought a friend over, surnamed Yin. Daohe had a good chat with him, and then he stopped making alchemy. Going out every day to find someone to play with, oh, it makes me so tired."
"Yin Yu, maybe they have something to say."
Zhou Man wanted to find someone, but Dao Xu held her back and said, "No hurry, no hurry, you can take a look at the other medicines we make, and keep some if you like them."
