The imperial physicians all said that Your Majesty's health has been deteriorating since he took the elixir, and the Empress was very anxious and asked me to persuade Your Majesty, but Your Majesty not only refused to listen, but still believed that the elixir of longevity was quite useful, and even gave me a elixir of longevity..."
Lu Ze put Lingling down, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and poured out a vermilion pill from it.
Lingling saw the pill in Lu Ze's hand and was about to take it, "Can I eat it?"
Lu Ze held the pill tightly and said, "You can't eat it."
Qi Yuning said, "Your Majesty is old, now over sixty, and it is natural for people to want to live longer. Since Taoist He has lived for over a hundred years, his medicine must be useful and may allow Your Majesty to live a few more years."
Lingling didn't recognize His Majesty, so she said His Majesty only lived for four years at most. At two years old, Lingling should be able to recognize people...
During his 40-year reign, Emperor Shiyuan did many practical things for the people. The annexation of the Northern Desert and the expansion of the territory of Dasheng alone were enough to make Emperor Shiyuan stand shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Taizu, the founding emperor of the country.
Ordinary people all hope to live a long life. As the emperor of the world, it is understandable that Emperor Shi Yuan wants to use the longevity pill to live a few more years.
Lu Ze said, "The imperial physician said that your majesty's condition is getting worse. If you don't take medicine, I'm afraid this elixir will be of no use."
Qi Yuning saw the scarlet elixir in Lu Ze's hand and asked, "Have you seen the imperial physician?"
Lu Ze replied, "Well, the prince got this medicine from Taoist He. After hearing the news, I showed it to the imperial physician, who said it is indeed a tonic."
Qi Yuning said, "I don't think the Crown Prince would be so bold as to use poison in the elixir presented to Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty finds it useful and it's a tonic, there's nothing wrong with taking the elixir. However, the medicine still needs to be taken. I still have to persuade Your Majesty."
Lu Ze said worriedly, "Grandma, my mother and Baozhu have been trying to persuade His Majesty to take medicine every day, but His Majesty thinks that he is no longer sick after taking the elixir and doesn't need to take medicine."
Lingling raised her eyes and asked Lu Ze, "Is it that Grandpa doesn't want to take the medicine?"
Lu Ze nodded.
Lingling said, "We can put the medicinal herbs into the dishes, so that Grandpa will eat them. In the past, when Lingling didn't like to eat medicinal herbs, Daddy and Mommy would put them in the food and let Lingling eat them."
Qi Yuning patted Lingling's little head and said, "Lingling is right."
Lu Ze said, "This is the only way we can try."
Lingling held Lu Ze's hand and said, "Then Daddy, can you help Lingling draw a kite? Lingling has wanted to play with a kite for a long time."
Lu Ze picked up Lingling and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the courtyard to make a kite later!"
"That's great." Lingling clapped her hands in delight. "Lingling is going to make a big kite so that she can fly it with her uncle during the Qingming Festival."
Qi Yuning thought about it and realized that the Qingming Festival was only a few days away. By March, the appointment of the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple should have been announced.
Qi Yuning then asked Lu Ze, "Has the appointment of the Dali Temple Minister been announced?"
