Just as the new emperor was decided, news of death came from Wuliang Mountain. The empress dowager passed away, and not long after, the queen also passed away.
Gu Yinwei sent someone to conceal the news of the death. The virtuous concubine accidentally let the news slip while serving the emperor. The emperor vomited blood, fell into a coma, and passed away on the spot.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and four ministers of state assisted him in governing the country.
Gu Yinwei was finally able to free up her hands to deal with Concubine Xian.
"Xian Guipin, no, I should call you Xian Gui Taipin."
"I have never had peace in my life, and I was given the title of Grand Concubine before I die. How ridiculous!"
Gu Yinwei looked at her coldly, and it was hard to say whether she hated her or not. Zhu Dunyi had been living an extremely difficult life since he experienced the Twin Carp Jade Pendant incident, and death was actually a relief for him.
Silver needles were inserted into the acupuncture points, and bowls of medicine were taking to keep him alive. The handsome king had lost his former vitality and all his hair fell out.
He lived a very humiliating life in his last days.
"Empress Dowager Hengle, Zhu Dunyi hopes that you will have eternal happiness. I want to see how you can be happy after he's gone. Everything you have was given by him. Without his favor, you are just dirt under his feet, a speck of dust in the harem."
Zhu Dunyi was indeed very partial to her, and she did not deny this fact.
"Fugui, shut her mouth."
"Yes, Concubine Xian."
"Don't think that I dare not kill you. I have killed many people. I even dared to kill the Queen. What small fish and shrimp are you?"
The virtuous concubine is not afraid of Gu Yinwei, but is very afraid of Gu Yingxia, who has a pink makeup and is cruel and ruthless.
"What will happen next, Madam?"
"Throw it in a mass grave."
"Concubine Zhen said she hopes to keep the body intact."
"Then give Concubine Zhen some face."
Gu Yinwei moved into the Cining Palace with the title of Empress Dowager Hengle. The backyard of the Pepper Room was converted into a medicinal field. The Polygonum multiflorum planted before grew as thick as lotus roots. Chuchu made it into an ointment, and Gu Yingxia applied it on her hair. Her hair became shiny black, and Gu Yingxia had Almond to comb her new hair every day.
Gu Yinwei disguised herself as a man and took Fugui out of the palace to look for medicinal herbs. The life span of mortals was too short, so she planned to plant a batch of spiritual herbs. Now that Zhu Dunyi was dead, she had no luck to draw from, so she had to find another way.
"My Lady, shall we still go east?"
"Yes, go east."
Fugui was dissatisfied in his heart and went east seven or eight times, but each time he found nothing.
The two men rode their horses towards Lingyin Mountain. Gu Yinwei saw a red auspicious cloud floating in the mountains and guessed that there must be treasures in the mountains.
The stream at the foot of Lingyin Mountain rose, peach and plum blossoms bloomed, and a man was lying in the woods, raising his wrist and pouring water on a yellow ginseng root.
Huangjing can be used as medicine. Wei Junzhai watered it with blood. "That's enough. Come back next month."
The Polygonatum sibiricum that grows under the pine trees has a three-hundred-year-old medicinal effect after drinking blood three times.
Gu Yinwei pasted an ice talisman on the ground to freeze the Polygonatum odoratum to prevent it from escaping. Medicinal herbs over a hundred years old have spirituality and know how to escape underground.
"Wealth and honor are excavated."
"Okay, Master."
After drinking enough blood, Huang Jing lay in the soil to sleep, when he suddenly felt a chill. Oh no, someone must be coming to dig him up, so he had to run away quickly.
I can't run away, the soil around me is frozen, so I might as well pretend to be dead.
Fugui dug gently with a hoe, and the Polygonatum he dug out was taller than him. "Tsk tsk, it looks quite old, it must have medicinal properties of at least a hundred years."
Huang Jing complained in his heart, "You are blind and fail to recognize the great man I am. I clearly have three hundred years of medicinal effect. You are talking nonsense. I don't like you."
"Baby Huang Jing, there are two thousand-year-old and five-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in Lingyin Mountain. Take me to find them."
"Master, it's a plant, it can't speak."
“It understands.”
The Huangjing baby jumped down from Fugui's hand, and Gu Yinwei threw two Guyuan Pills to it. Eating two pills can extend the efficacy of the medicine for two years.
"Come with me and you'll get candy beans every day, understand?"
The Huangjing baby staggered away.
After a while, the laughter of children came from the forest. Two children with pigtails and wearing red bellybands were chasing the Huangjing baby. Fugui was surprised. Where could there be children in such a dense mountain environment? There were thorns everywhere. The children were not wearing shoes and their bodies were as white and tender as tofu.
The Huangjing baby picked up a candy bean and put it in his mouth. The two ginseng dolls also picked up the candy bean and ate it. After putting the candy beans in their mouths, the two ginseng dolls laughed.
Gu Yinwei activated the ice talisman, and the ginseng doll froze into an ice cube in an instant.
Fugui held one in his left hand and one in his right hand, "Master, am I being too high-profile? When I go down the mountain later, the villagers will think I'm a kidnapper."
"No, they can't maintain their human form for long."
A quarter of an hour later, the two ginseng dolls indeed returned to their medicinal form.
Gu Yingxia came to talk to Gu Yinwei. As soon as she entered the door, she heard the baby's laughter and hurriedly ordered A Qing to close the door.
"Ah Qing, my sister is so brave. The emperor has only been dead for half a year, and she secretly gave birth to a baby?"
"My Lady Dowager, Empress Dowager Hengle is not that kind of person."
"Who knows if the person in the palace is really her? What if the third sister seen in Cining Palace is Miss Yueji or Miss Shaoyao in disguise, and her real body has already slipped out of the palace to find a handsome man and live happily ever after?"
Chuchu winked and Biantao pursed her lips.
"Xian Taifei, auspicious."
"Good luck, good luck to everyone. Where is my fake sister?"
Gu Yinwei was holding an almond and two big carrots in her hands, and Gu Yingxia went up to pinch her face.
"You're quite good at pretending, little girl. Let me see your true face. What flower are you? A peach blossom or a winter jasmine?"
