Xie Chongming's health is getting worse and worse. Today, he was in the hall after reviewing the memorial for an hour before he passed out due to physical exhaustion. This frightened the queen and all the concubines. Xie Chongming breathed a sigh of relief when the Imperial Physician's Office surrounded the dragon couch for a half-diagnosis and treatment. His mental health was getting worse and worse. After Meng Eqi heard the news, he immediately entered the palace to visit.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Xie Chongming lay sickly on the couch. Hearing Meng Qiqi coming, he forced himself to sit up.
As soon as Meng Qiqi entered the hall, she smelled a strange smell mixed with herbal scents wafting in the Qinzheng Hall. She sniffed it twice, but could not find the source. She sat on the edge of the couch and looked at Xie Chongming, who was looking very bad. She felt uncomfortable: "Uncle, are you feeling better? What happened to the imperial doctor?"
Xie Chongming's lips were black and white, and he shook his head with a smile: "Uncle is fine, he just fell ill after working too hard. He will get better in a few days, so don't worry about Laiyi."
His eye sockets were swollen, and the sides of his cheeks were blackened. Meng Qiqi had been in the underworld for so many years, how could he not see the appearance of a dying person. Her heart tightened, and she grabbed Xie Chongming's hand and said, "Uncle is not in good health, so the government affairs will be left to the princes and brothers. You just need to take good care of your body."
Xie Chongming nodded again and again: "Uncle will be fine, I haven't watched Laiyi get married yet."
Meng Eqi's nose was slightly sour, and she lowered her head in discomfort.
Xie Chongming couldn't see Meng Qiqi's sadness, so he immediately greeted the eunuch Laixi: "Go get some fun and delicious food to make the princess happy. Laiyi, my uncle got a peacock from the Western Regions a few days ago, and the peacock has It's the same spirituality, it's already been raised in Mingyuan, you can take a look when you're in the mood."
He was so ill that he did not forget to take care of Meng Eqi's mood. Xie Chongming went to the back and suddenly coughed violently. Meng Eqi hurriedly patted his back, but Xie Chongming was wheezing and coughing, and seeing that he couldn't take a breath, Meng Eqi hurriedly said: "Pass the imperial doctor! Quickly pass the imperial doctor!"
The imperial doctor hadn't arrived yet, and Laixi, who hadn't gone out just now, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a round ball and fed it into Xie Chongming's mouth, and then he served Xie Chongming and drank some water. Wet the balls down. Xie Chongming felt much better after eating it, and his breath gradually calmed down. Meng Qiqi was deeply suspicious: "What did uncle eat?"
Xie Chongming didn't have the strength to speak, so Laixi said on his behalf: "If you return to the princess, the emperor is taking the magic medicine prescribed by Taixu Daochang. Whenever the emperor is coughing and wheezing, take this medicine to stop it."
Meng Qiqi stretched out his hand for the pills and sniffed carefully. The pills are only the size of a thumb, round and dark, and the smell of each pill does not resemble the smell of herbs.
What kind of Taoist priest has such patience
Meng Qiqi held one in his hand, and handed the rest of the bottle back, and explained cautiously: "Uncle, if there is a situation in the future, I should call the imperial physician to check it in time, and don't rely on this pill of unknown origin. After all, once you take it, you can The effective thing is still not safe enough, for the sake of your dragon body, also ask the imperial physician to see what this pill is made of."
Xie Chongming said in a hoarse voice: "Tai Xu Dao Changxian is famous, and he should not be wrong. Uncle has been eating for a long time, and he has been fine."
Laixi said, "Yes, and the slave heard that the Daoist Taixu is about to become an immortal. His eyes can see the things of ghosts and gods, and he can convey meaning to the gods when necessary."
It means that the Taoist priest is a half-immortal
Meng Qiqi knew that all physical and mortal fetuses to cultivate immortals had to go through painstaking cultivation, indulge in the five senses. The road to immortality is long and tedious, and many real Taoists have not been able to seek immortals for thousands of years. But those who have truly become immortals, even if they already have half a sense of consciousness, seldom intervene in mortal affairs. Because everyone has their own destiny, if a real person intervenes, they will add their own karma and delay the time to sit on the ground and ascend to immortals. And Meng Qiqi had never heard of the Taixu Taoist priest in their mouths.
Maybe this is really a demigod? Or maybe a wisp of divine consciousness from a god in the court has been reincarnated and reincarnated. Meng Qiqi decided to meet this Taoist priest for a while, and maybe he could meet half of his old friends.
After coming out of the Qinzheng Palace, Meng Qiqi invited Yansha, gave her the pills she had left from Xie Chongming, and whispered: "Go out of the palace now and find a reliable boss and let him show me this. There is something in the pill, so don't make it public or let people know about it."
Yansha nodded, holding the pill in doubt: "Sister, aren't you going with the slaves?"
A deep smile appeared on the corners of Meng Qiqi's lips: "No, I have something to do. You go, take my token, and don't be cautious!"
Meng Qiqi listened to the Taixu Taoist priest temporarily living in the Qin'an Hall in the palace. The Qin'an Hall enshrines the Northern Shenxuan God, also known as the Zhenwu Emperor. During the festivals, the emperor would bring his concubines and concubines here to hold incense and salute.
Taoist Taixu lives here, which seems to be quite in line with his identity.
When Meng Eqi passed by, he found that a palace maid was asking the Taoist Taixu to check her past and present life. Taixu Dao was long and skinny, and he wore a Taoist robe that looked empty. He closed his eyes and pressed the palace maid's birth date with his hands, as if he was reading her past for her in the void. Meng Eqi hid behind the door and eavesdropped, Taixu Dao opened his eyes after a long time and said, "You were born in Xiyi Border Pass in your previous life, and you lived a miserable life, but fortunately you have maintained beliefs throughout your life, so you will only come after you have been reincarnated. Serving in the palace and being able to do things by Zhenlongzi’s side is the blessing you have accumulated in your previous life. If you continue to have good thoughts in this life, you will be rich and rich in the next life without worrying about food and clothing.”
After hearing this, the palace maid suddenly realized and thanked her happily. She took out two naked silver coins from her sleeve and handed it to the Taoist priest Taixu: "The real person lives up to their reputation, it's really an immortal! Thank you Taoist priest for the guidance, the slave girl knows what to do in her heart."
The palace maid left with a heartfelt conviction, and when Meng Eqi saw that someone had left, she stepped in slowly.
Taoist Taixu was packing his things, and when he saw someone came in, he smiled and said, "This noble person is good, unfortunately, the old Taoist is going to greet the concubine De, please come back later."
Do you mean to make her wait? Meng Qiqi looked at him up and down, smiling but not smiling: "I'm Princess Laiyi, I've heard about the fame of the Taoist priest for a long time, so I wanted to come and have a look and let the Taoist priest give me some advice."
Princess Laiyi? ! Taoist Taixu thought about it, he had heard the name of this princess. According to the rumors, how she was favored, although she was not a direct descendant of the princess, it was more precious than direct descendents. Now that he saw this princess deity, he felt that he was pampered and raised, and he showed a sense of arrogance in every gesture. Daoist Taixu immediately said: "Princess is a big drive, and the poor man has lost his way. Please forgive me. Princess, sit down, do you have any doubts that you want the poor man to help answer?"
Meng Qiqi rolled her eyes, sat down and said, "I heard that the Taoist priest can observe Yin and Yang, and even can explore people's past and future lives, so this princess specially wanted to ask the Taoist priest for help."
Taoist Taixu pretended to be humble and smiled, and the boy beside him said: "The Taoist can not only observe the yin and yang, but also has a lot of connections with the judges of the underworld. The highness of the princess wants to see who's life, the Taoist can help."
Judge? Meng Eqi raised her eyebrows: "Really? But wouldn't there be a problem with the Taoist master leaking the machine like this?"
Taoist Taixu said sternly: "Don't lie to the princess, Pindao can already ascend to immortality, but there are still injustices, how can Pindao watch the world sparring in the red dust, so Pindao abandons Fei Xian and goes around Walk around, preach and save people. If you have good thoughts in your heart, you will not blame it."
Meng Qiqi suddenly realized and said, "Then ask the Taoist priest to help this princess see her past life."
Taoist Taixu handed over a piece of paper: "Please, Princess, write the eight characters on it."
Meng Eqi paused, then picked up a pen and wrote down the birthday of the god of decline, but he hadn't written it for years.
Immortals are different from mortals, and if this Taixu Taoist is genuine, he will not fail to see the clues.
However, after Meng Qiqi handed the paper to him, Daoist Taixu just glanced at it and said, "Even if the princess does not add years, the poor Daoist can see from the eight characters that the princess was a very rich and noble person in her last life, not only In this way, the princess in the previous life has done things like the help of God, and it can be a very fulfilling life. It seems that the princess is a blessed person, and with the blessing of God, she can then join the royal family in this life and be loved by thousands of people."
Fallen gods, great wealth, great wealth and wealth are all in your heart? Um…
Meng Qiqi then asked: "Oh? Since this is the case, can you ask the Taoist priest to help me see if this princess can die in this life?"
Taoist Taixu put his hand on the character of the god of decline, closed his eyes and twitched, as if his soul was wandering in the underworld, and after a while he opened his eyes and said, "Congratulations, princess. How old can you be? , I am afraid of leaking, but I talked to the judge just now, he is willing to give the princess a few more years of life, the princess must be a person with a long life and a lot of happiness in this life."
Did the judge increase her life? This is serious nonsense, when she really doesn't know the judge! ? Meng Qiqi resisted beating the Taixu Dao Priest and tried his best to calm down and smiled: "Really? Taking the Taoist elixir, I heard that this elixir is very effective, and it will take effect immediately after taking it. Can the Taoist give me two pills? My grandmother is not in good health recently, and I have to take it back for her to use."
This nonsense liar Taoist priest hesitated, he hesitated: "This..."
Meng Eqi neatly took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and put it on the table: "Master, I'm worried about my grandmother's body, you must share your worries with this princess. As long as my grandmother is cured, this gold ingot will be saved. This princess can give you five chests."
Daoxu Taixu's expression froze, and he said, "Princess! Poor Daoist is for the common people, not for these illusory gold and silver treasures." Then he gave Meng Qiqi two so-called panacea, and said: " The kindness of the princess has been led by the poor, and the princess is asked to take the gold back."
"Don't worry," Meng Eqi chuckled: "Master, I took this medicine for my grandmother to take after all. I'm afraid there will be any side effects. Why don't you take one and show it to me first. It’s really no problem, this princess will bring it back to my grandmother. Please understand me, I am also thinking of safety. I don’t want to think that if my grandmother has a problem with eating, it will also smear the name of the Taoist priest.”
Daoist Taixu's palms were sweating, and he repeatedly refused: "Princess, please rest assured, there has never been a problem with the elixir of the poor, and even the emperor is taking it."
Meng Eqi sneered: "You don't want to eat? The princess has to help you eat it."
She stood up abruptly, pinched the cheeks of Taoist Taixu across the table, picked up a pill and was about to put it in. Tong Da, who was beside him, turned pale in shock, and rushed over, Meng Qiqi shouted angrily: "If you dare to come here, this princess will kill you!"
Taoist Taixu struggled constantly under her hands, but Meng Qiqi's strength gradually tightened, and Taoist Taixu felt his jaw would be crushed.
"My life? You dare to give this pill to the emperor to take, but you dare not take it yourself, and you dare to have no problem with this pill!?"
