[Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Offering Medicine]
It was a dark night and the palace was completely quiet.
Boom! Boom, boom, boom!
The night watchman has just struck the fourth watch.
A young servant in yellow clothes hurriedly walked into the inner hall and whispered a few words in the ear of the eunuch who served the emperor.
The chief eunuch frowned.
He first glanced at the emperor's bedroom which was still dark, then stared at the young eunuch and asked a few more questions, before he gritted his teeth and walked in.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shen came to the palace last night and said he had something urgent to report." The eunuch walked to the emperor's bedside and said softly.
The emperor suddenly opened his eyes.
He was in a trance for a moment, then sat up: "Prime Minister Shen? Did you say it's something urgent?"
Although the emperor was woken up in the middle of the night, he did not show any anger, which made the eunuch secretly relieved.
He reported in a low voice: "Prime Minister Shen didn't tell us, but he came with Taoist Xuanling."
When the emperor heard that Taoist Master Lian Xuanling had also arrived, he paused in his action of getting up.
But I feel more expectant inside.
"Xuan!" he said loudly.
Meanwhile, he had gotten out of bed.
He pushed away the eunuch who came to help him dress, grabbed a robe, put it on, and started walking out.
The frightened eunuch quickly told the younger eunuchs to prepare things, took the emperor's clothes and followed him out.
When the emperor left the bedroom and came to the small study where he usually worked, Prime Minister Shen and his younger brother Taoist Xuanling had already arrived.
Following behind them was Shen Junyuan, who was holding a large box.
"No need to be so polite! What urgent matter is it that the Prime Minister and the Taoist priest came to the palace in the middle of the night? Is it related to the military camp outside the city?"
The emperor walked quickly into the room and asked urgently without waiting for them to greet him.
The three of them followed quickly in.
After dismissing everyone, Prime Minister Shen, his brothers and son still respectfully saluted the emperor, and then said: "It is indeed related."
The emperor's eyes lit up.
At this time, Prime Minister Shen stepped aside and said, "The details of what happened should be told by Taoist Xuanling. I only learned the details after receiving his message and rushing to the Taoist temple."
After the eldest brother finished speaking, Taoist Xuanling stepped forward and bowed to the emperor.
Then he said slowly: "This matter has to start with my niece Shen Yuyao who was murdered..."
Hearing this beginning, the emperor's eyebrows twitched.
He was called over in the middle of the night, not to listen to the two of them talking about these family matters.
What's more, he had already dealt with this matter and lost a daughter.
But Taoist Priest Xuanling had quite some Taoist skills and was deeply respected by all his believers, including the Empress Dowager.
So, even though he was a little impatient, the emperor endured it and did not lose his temper.
And he also wanted to hear what their talk had to do with the military camp outside the city!
The emperor was very worried about the epidemic in the military camp outside the city.
Although he sent the imperial physician over, he also recruited a group of famous doctors in the capital.
But from the information we received, the effect is not good.
The epidemic is still not under control.
Today alone, the death toll from dysentery has exceeded twenty-five.
If this continues, even more people may die tomorrow!
So, he wanted to see what solution these two people came up with.
Taoist Xuan Ling seemed to be completely unaware of the emperor's expression and continued to speak.
"I suddenly felt sleepy at noon yesterday and fell asleep without realizing it. Then I had a dream about my dead niece Yuyao.
Speaking of which, I have hardly ever met Yuyao. Since I severed all ties with the world, I no longer recognize most of the younger generations in my family.
But the girl bowed to me in the dream and called me "Second Uncle", and I immediately knew who she was.
My little niece told me that she has gone to another world now and is living well, and her family doesn't have to worry about her.
She said that she wanted the Taoist priest to thank the emperor on her behalf so that she could get her revenge and have no worries in this world anymore.
To express her gratitude, she is willing to help the emperor resolve a disaster."
The emperor just listened patiently at first, but gradually he began to listen.
At this time, when he heard Taoist Xuanling say that the dead little girl from the Shen family actually mentioned him and said that she wanted to repay him and help him resolve the disaster, his heart couldn't help but beat fast.
"Help me resolve the disaster? What disaster? How do you resolve it?"
Taoist Priest Xuan Ling gestured to Shen Junyuan who was following behind them. Shen Junyuan took two steps forward and handed the box to the eunuch who came down.
Also submitted at the same time was the book "Barefoot Doctor's Notes".
"Yuyao said she knew that the epidemic had already started in the military camp outside the city. If it is not stopped, it will spread quickly. By then, not only the military camp, but also the capital city will be littered with corpses...
In order to relieve the emperor’s worries, she specially sent the magic medicine from the upper world…”
"Bring it here for me to see!"
Before Taoist Xuanling could finish his words, the emperor had already stood up from his seat.
The chief eunuch quickly presented the box.
The emperor opened the box himself, and was attracted by the brown glass bottle at first sight.
"Glass bottle?" He couldn't help but gasp.
There are still some glazed bottles in the palace. Not to mention other places, there are several in the small study where he is now.
But seeing so many identical glass bottles at once still made him dizzy.
Taoist Xuanling did not respond to his words, but said: "Your Majesty, the thing in the glass bottle is the magic medicine that Yuyao said can cure the soldiers' illness!"
The emperor unscrewed the medicine bottle and the eunuch immediately handed him a tray covered with brocade.
The emperor poured a few berberine pills from the medicine bottle.
Looking at the small round particles of bright yellow color, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
But at the same time, there was also some hesitation.
It’s not that he didn’t believe what Taoist Xuanling said, he believed that this man wouldn’t dare to deceive him.
But - these things came too strangely, so he couldn't help but think about it.
So he turned the bottle over in his hands a few times and continued to ask, "Tell me in detail how you got these things? What did your niece tell you specifically?"
Taoist Xuanling was not flustered when questioned like this.
He told a story that he and his brother had carefully discussed and made up.
The story was very simple, it was nothing more than a dream, saying that Shen Yuyao had gone to the upper realm and was living a carefree life as a god.
One day she suddenly had a feeling that the place she came from was about to suffer a disaster.
As soft-hearted as she was, she never forgot the kindness of her parents who gave birth to her even after she ascended to heaven, so she asked for a magic medicine to save the world.
Taoist Priest Xuanling said that these things suddenly appeared in the Taoist temple.
He had personally tasted the miraculous medicine inside and was willing to guarantee with his life that it was non-toxic and harmless.
After he finished speaking, Prime Minister Shen and Shen Junyuan also knelt down and promised that they had also tasted the medicines and were willing to use their lives to guarantee that they were non-toxic and harmless.
While Taoist Xuanling was speaking, the emperor was still checking the contents of the box.
After seeing the instructions written in a woman's handwriting, and the papers and books that looked like they came from another world...
He actually already has eight points.
Now seeing the three people kneeling down, his trust increased even more, almost reaching 100%.
But he still tried to suppress his inner excitement and ordered: "Call the doctor!"
