Chapter 289 Taking the Pill
"Situ!"
"Zhongshu Ling!" Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang met outside Hanfeng Hall and saluted each other.
What happened last night had no impact on them. Li Anyan was mainly dealing with Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu's party.
"Last night, I saw flames rising to the sky in the southeast direction, and I knew something big had happened. Today, Cuiwei Palace began to be on guard."
"It is said that an assassin broke in last night. In order to strengthen defense and catch the assassin, the guard was strict. Li Anyan not only put the palace on guard, but also put Fang Yiai and others under house arrest. I don't know what his intention is." Chu Suiliang said. "
I know about this." Changsun Wuji smiled.
"Oh! Please give me some advice, Situ!" Chu Suiliang said.
"This is just as you think in your heart, why do you ask me." Changsun Wuji smiled.
They have all been officials for many years, so there is no one they don't know about the inside story.
Chu Suiliang stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the door, and Changsun Wuji walked into Hanfeng Hall with Chu Suiliang side by side.
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming soon. Does Situ know about this? I wonder if it is true?" Chu Suiliang asked. "
Yes, it is true. Some time ago, His Majesty missed the Crown Prince, so he sent someone to Chang'an to invite the Crown Prince to Cuiwei Palace for a meeting." "Today,
the Crown Prince's carriage should have arrived!" Changsun Wuji said.
While discussing the issue of the Crown Prince coming to Cuiwei Palace, Changsun Wuji and the other person slowly walked to Li Er.
After the two of them saluted Li Er, they talked to Li Er, reported some work, and then they got up and left.
At noon, the prince's carriage finally arrived at Cuiwei Palace. As soon as Li Chengqian got off the carriage, he immediately went to see Li Er with a cane.
Li Er had just taken the medicine and fell asleep, so he did not summon Li Chengqian immediately. Li Chengqian had to go to eat first, and called Li Anyan to question him.
"Your Highness, the crown prince, is greeted by your Highness!" Li Anyan hurriedly saluted when he saw Li Chengqian who was eating.
"No need to be polite! Please take a seat! The general has not eaten yet! Please eat with me!" Li Chengqian said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Anyan thanked him, and made a table behind him. A maid brought wine and food to Li Anyan.
"I heard that you were attacked last night? Are you injured?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness! We found it in time, and I was well prepared. There was no damage." Li
Anyan said. "Can you find out who was behind it? "
Li Chengqian asked. "I have always suspected that it was Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu." Li Anyan said.
"Oh! Is there any evidence to prove that they were the ones behind it?" Li Chengqian asked.
Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu were both sons-in-law of the emperor, and Chai Lingwu was Li Er's nephew. If we attack them without evidence that they were the ones behind it, they will bite back.
"The captured people were very strict and took the blame on themselves. They were unwilling to identify Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu. Moreover, they did not contact Fang Yiai directly, but got in touch through some other means. Therefore, I have no evidence." Li Anyan said.
"It doesn't matter. They are just two little clowns. There is no need to take them too seriously." Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness! How should we deal with them?" Li Anyan said.
"Everything remains the same!" Li Chengqian said, and continued to enjoy the delicious food.
In the afternoon, Li Er woke up and learned that Li Chengqian had arrived at Cuiwei Palace, so he asked someone to call Li Chengqian to see him.
Just when Li Er sent someone to call Li Chengqian, good news came from the alchemy room.
The elixir that Li Er had been looking forward to for a long time, which could cure his illness and prolong his life, was finally successfully refined.
"I report to everyone, Master Tianzhu has finally refined the elixir!" The eunuch took a small box in his hand and took credit for it to Li Er.
"Good! Good! Good!" Li Er said three "good" words in a row happily, and said, "Quickly bring it to me."
The eunuch stepped forward, opened the box in his hand, and put it in front of Li Er.
Li Er saw a crystal clear pill in the box, emitting bursts of medicinal fragrance.
"Quick, give it to me. Smelling this faint medicinal fragrance, I can't wait to eat it." Li Er said.
Li Zhi took the pill from the eunuch, but did not give it to Li Er directly. He asked, "Did Master Tianzhu say how to take this elixir? Are there any taboos?"
"Master Tianzhu said that the elixir can be taken directly, there is nothing else." The eunuch said.
After getting the answer, Li Zhi asked someone to bring a bowl of water, fed the pill in the box to Li Er, and then took the bowl of water brought by the maid and handed it to Li Er so that he could take the pill.
After Li Er took the elixir, he felt that his condition had improved and his spirits were much better.
In fact, it had no effect at all. It was just that the Indian alchemist was deceiving him again. As expected, the foreign monks could chant.
Li Er talked more fluently with Li Zhi and others. When he thought that he would recover soon and prolong his life, Li Er was very happy.
"I feel a little hungry. Bring me some food." Li Er said.
"I will order everyone to prepare food." Wang Yuan smiled, turned around and ordered someone to go to the kitchen to prepare some food. He was happy that Li Er could get better.
"Young slave, you have worked hard these days!" Li Er looked at his son with white hair and said distressedly.
"Father, it is my honor to serve you. I am not suffering at all. I just hope you can get better." Li Zhi said.
Li Er was very pleased with Li Zhi's filial piety. He saw and remembered everything Li Zhi did during this period.
Li Er planned to return to Chang'an after he recovered, and then give Li Zhi more favors and add more real households to him.
At this time, Li Er suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, sweating profusely on his head, and had difficulty breathing and felt suffocated.
Li Zhi was shocked when he saw this!
"Father! Father! What's wrong with you?" Li Zhi shouted in fear: "Quickly call the doctor!"
"Call, call the doctor!" Wang Yuan came to his senses after Li Zhi shouted like this, and shouted in fear.
No one expected things to turn out like this. Suddenly, chaos broke out in Hanfeng Palace, and all the imperial doctors gathered around Li Er to treat him.
On the other side, the eunuch sent by Li Er greeted Li Chengqian and said, "Sir! Everyone wants to see you. Please go to Hanfeng Hall immediately."
"Okay! Lead the way!" Li Chengqian stood up and said.
The eunuch bowed and turned to walk out. Li Chengqian led Wang Quan and others to follow the eunuch and walked towards Hanfeng Hall.
Li Chengqian just arrived outside Hanfeng Hall and before he could go in, he heard shouts and chaotic footsteps from inside. Many people were running.
Li Chengqian frowned, not knowing what happened inside, and hurried inside.
