days of being forced

Chapter 103

Gu Xingzhi's status and so on didn't seem to have changed much after he became a national teacher. Except for the common people who felt that the national teacher might call the wind and shake the wind and stabilize the lifeline of the country, the ministers in the court, including some royal family members, wealthy businessmen, etc. Wait, just think that this is an absurd move by the emperor.

And since that appearance in the court, Gu Xingzhi has also lived in a simple way, often running between the palace and home, sometimes wanting to retreat and practice, and simply don't bother to go to the palace.

After Chen Yan found out about his situation, he felt a little disappointed, and then thought amusedly, could it be possible that he really thought that the other party would practice the pill of immortality: "Okay, let him do it." Yes, until now his body has been conditioned by Gu Xingzhi and it is as good as before.

This medical skill alone is enough for him to save a lot of money. The real famous doctors are very tempered and powerful. When he was sick, he couldn't invite two to come over.Besides, after he agreed to Gu Xingzhi, he sent someone to check the other party in private. Anyway, he is not such a perfunctory person to read the information.

"But the national teacher has consumed a lot of precious medicinal materials in the palace these days. If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid..." the envoy of the Imperial Hospital said.He didn't like this national teacher who appeared suddenly. He tried to get in touch with him before, but the other party didn't take them seriously at all. However, every day, he kept taking all kinds of precious medicinal materials from them. .

He never thought that these inexplicable Taoist priests could really make alchemy, but they were just playing tricks.

The emperor knew that he didn't like Gu Xingzhi, but this was his personal national teacher, and he didn't intend to cut the face of the other party: "He is a national teacher, and he will give him whatever he wants on weekdays. As the lord of the country, Is it possible that he is afraid that he will use up the raw medicine storehouse?"

"There are some medicinal materials that are too scarce..."

"Give it all to him."

Seeing that the court envoy still wanted to speak, he waved his hand directly: "Okay, this matter will be done as I said, you go out first."

All right, the envoy thought about how quickly Gu Xingzhi would use those expensive medicinal materials in batches every time. The speed is simply amazing.I thought to myself, Your Majesty, don't feel bad about it.

Gu Xingzhi didn't know that there was such an accident. He transformed his spiritual power in his mansion every day to improve his cultivation as much as possible. It's not good to stay in the mansion, so I ran to the palace to get some hair, so I thought it was a different place to practice.

The emperor was worthy of being the Son of Heaven, and the medicinal materials he possessed were all processed and high-quality medicinal materials, Gu Xingzhi couldn't stop for a while.And his medicine cauldron has also been upgraded several layers in this process, and the internal space has become extremely large. It can hold tens of times to hundreds of times the previous medicinal materials at a time, and the elixir that is refined once can condense a large amount of medicinal aura.

This kind of refined aura is the most beneficial to the people of Canglan Continent. Gu Xingzhi once again fused this aura into his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. With nourishment, his physique as the original Gu family member is constantly replacing Gu Erlang's body now.

Presumably it won't be long before he can restore his own blood.

As an aristocratic family that has stood on the Canglan Continent for thousands of years, the Gu family certainly has extremely powerful blood, and it seems that some other families are the same.Their Gu family has the blood of the ancient Canglong in their bodies, which is why he decided to practice the "Shenlong Jue" given to him by his ancestors in the Pharmacopoeia.

However, it is not very important to have any strange bloodlines in the Canglan Continent, because no one may be able to awaken them for thousands of years.

And Gu Xingzhi had a hunch that he could truly awaken the blood hidden in his body.

Just as Gu Xingzhi was experimenting with various prescriptions in the Pharmacopoeia, and was working hard to refine the medicine, a young eunuch ran over and said, "My lord, our medicinal materials are almost gone again." This was before Gu Xingzhi didn't bother to change the people who served the Taoist priests, and he didn't need the help of these people to do anything too private anyway.

They are only asked to go to the Tai Hospital to get medicinal materials on weekdays, and the normal servants in Sweeping the Floor can do it.

Hearing this, Gu Xingzhi frowned, and subconsciously said: "Then go to the Tai Hospital to get it." Often the Tai Hospital always objected to him taking so many medicinal materials, and every time he took so much, There is often arguing between the two parties.

The little eunuch said: "I have already searched for it, but the envoy still refused to agree, saying that the imperial hospital is really going to be empty." As a new force in the daily arguing with the imperial hospital, the little eunuch reckoned that the envoy had not lied talk.

While the two were talking, the envoy of the imperial hospital had already approached the emperor: "Your Majesty, if this state teacher continues like this, he will really empty out the raw medicine storehouse. We have already sent people to collect a lot more. But it’s not as fast as that.”

As he said that, he handed a list to the emperor: "These are the lists of medicinal materials that the national teacher took in the imperial hospital, please have a look at the emperor."

Chen Yanyuan was just because of the flood from the south that drowned the entire city, and now the news of the plague is even more disturbing. Hearing the court envoy repeating these trivial things over and over again made him even more impatient, but when he saw the stack of lists, he He closed his mouth, and the hand holding the list trembled slightly.

"Why didn't you say that he used so much before?" Is it so expensive to raise a famous doctor?

The envoy was also aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I have already reminded you many times."

Chen Yan choked, wondering whether the position of the court envoy needed to be changed. Every time this old courtier talked, he couldn't get to the point. He only knew what to say. If the national teacher took a large amount of medicinal materials and so on again, if he was as straightforward as this time and gave him a clear amount, wouldn't the matter be over.

On this end, Gu Xingzhi also fell into deep thought after hearing what the little eunuch said. He also forgot about it. Although he used a lot now, Jiang Ning bought him a lot, and some of them were sent directly to the palace. It made him have no general understanding of how much he used for a while.

It seems that if you want to continue to improve your cultivation quickly, it is very important to have the emperor's strong support.

As he stood up, he asked, "Is there anything going on in court today?"

The little eunuch was originally a disciple of the first eunuch, and he was clever, so he still had some experience in trying to figure out what he wanted.He knew that Master Guo Shi was definitely not someone who cared about the affairs of the imperial court, so he must have something to do with him to ask such a question, so he briefly talked about a few famous things recently, and then said emphatically: "...how There is a plague in the south, although the emperor has sent people to deal with it, but still no one can solve it."

Gu Xingzhi nodded, knowing it well.

According to Lin Yuan, in the Dachen Kingdom under Chen Yan's late rule, there have been many disasters in history, such as earthquakes, floods and so on.And what he wants to be a national teacher is to use this identity to deal with these things, and when these people are desperate, use an image like a savior to save the people.

And he is a national teacher, in this age of superstition, he is destined to be deified and devoutly believed.

When he came to the door of the Qinzheng point, Gu Xingzhi went in after a long time after the eunuch went in. He glanced at the envoy of the imperial hospital in the room, and he knew it in his heart, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and asked directly: "Listen Said there was a plague in the south?"

Chen Yan originally wanted to ask about medicinal materials, but when he heard the mention of the plague, he immediately replied: "I really need to invite the national teacher to take a look at this matter. The people in the Imperial Hospital have not yet come up with a good countermeasure. The crown prince and the imperial physician have gone to deal with it."

Prince?Gu Xingzhi was subconsciously displeased because of the connection between this person and Jiang Man.

Then Gu Xingzhi realized with a toothache that he seemed to have forgotten about such a person. Obviously, the prince was going to marry Jiang Man as his side concubine, and the wedding date was set more than two months ago.But at that time, because he had just become a national teacher, the overwhelming aura rushed to him, and the medicinal materials in the palace were also allowed to be used by him. He was so addicted to it that he forgot it for a while.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Although he himself wanted to bring down the prince, Jiang Man, who was connected with the prince, naturally felt uncomfortable. With the bamboo basket in Yong'an Hou's mansion holding the thought of being the head of the country, he was in vain, and even separated his own son. , Kill three birds with one stone.But he was not prepared to let Jiang Man spend the past two years so easily.

Gu Xingzhi inexplicably felt a little guilty, feeling unable to face Jiang Ning.

The storm in his mind turned sharply, but in reality Gu Xingzhi still looked indifferent: "I will go to the south to have a look."

After accepting the emperor, Gu Xingzhi went home and told Jiang Ning that he was going to the place where the plague in the south was. Jiang Ning said directly: "Okay, then I will go together too."

Gu Xingzhi didn't object, and he didn't want to leave Jiang Ning for too long.

To be redeemed on the verge of despair, the gratitude and admiration in the human heart will be more sincere. It has been a long time since the outbreak of the plague, and Gu Xingzhi did not procrastinate any longer. sunrise city.

But when I woke up the next day, I got a message: "What did you say?"

Kong Weilin said: "Prince, he is infected with the plague. My father and mother knew about it through the urgent letter they received at the latest." No reason.

Well now, Gu Xingzhi decided to bypass the city where the prince was. In order to avoid conflict with the emperor, they decided to leave early. The people sent by the emperor of the province would definitely want him to go to the prince first.

Although the emperor and the crown prince had a rift because of the throne, they were still father and son. It was impossible for the emperor to just watch his son die like this.

But before leaving, he still decided to cheat Jiang Man. As for whether Jiang Man will be cheated, it depends on her own decision.

On the second day after Gu Xingzhi and Jiang Ning left the city, the prince's mansion also got the news that the prince was infected with the plague. In the fright of the women in the mansion and worrying about his future, Jiang Man proposed to the prince that he would go to serve the sick , take good care of the prince.

The crown princess sat slumped on the chair, and before she could recover, she heard Jiang Man's words. She scolded: "Nonsense, is this the time for you to act recklessly? Now the whole capital is watching our mansion, what we have to do Just stay steady and wait for the prince to come back."

Jiang Man said: "Princess Concubine, the prince is alone now, and the concubine is really worried. The prince is at the moment of life and death, and he is in a low mood. If he is accompanied by someone he knows, he will definitely feel better."

Of course the Crown Princess knows about this problem, and all the women also understand that this is a big gamble. If the Crown Prince survives this plague, and if the women who accompany him survive, the position in the Crown Prince's heart will naturally be different in the future. In this mansion, even the crown prince will be the number one person in the palace in the future.

But if you know it, you know that the plague is so severe, no one is really determined to gamble with his life.

The princess said slowly: "Do you know that if you contract the plague, you will probably die in this plague."

"For the prince, the concubine is willing to be smashed to pieces." Of course, she didn't really want to. Jiang Man knew that she might have the ability to predict when she found out that the things in her dreams had come true.This time, before the news that the crown prince was infected with the epidemic had yet to be heard, she dreamed that the imperial physician finally found the antidote to the plague this time.

So even if she gets sick, she is not afraid, it is better to get infected.

The princess didn't have the patience to listen to a side concubine express her determination to the prince, and she didn't want Jiang Man to really get this possible special. She looked at everyone: "Are there any other sisters who are willing to go?"

Naturally, it is impossible for Jiang Man to be the only person who risked his life to win a fortune. Now, a few concubines with lower status in the mansion came forward. Of course, these people are not enough, and the prince is not stupid. Mingming seems to be a gamble, so naturally it is not as touching as showing true feelings.

She glanced at the two of them, and the two women froze, but finally came out.

The concubine was satisfied now, and with the concubine that the prince had loved in the past, Jiang Man would not steal the limelight.
