Chapter 437: shameless
Chapter 437 Shameless and lifeless
Pei Yi and the old emperor looked at each other, feeling a little sad in their hearts.
She asked Liang Liude to ask her father for help, but at this time, her father still did not enter the palace to intercede with the emperor - obviously, her father didn't want to help Huo Yuan at all, he just wanted Huo Yuan to fend for himself .
The villain in Pei Yi's heart shed lasagna tears and silently complained: Dad, how can you bear to let me face the old emperor alone?
The old emperor has no sorrow in his heart now, only anger.
This Pei family boy is really too arrogant—not only entered the palace to speak for the unfilial son of the third son, but also dared to sit and rest beside him!
How unreasonable!
Does this put the Emperor Zhen in your eyes?
The old emperor smoked from his seven orifices.
His anger was so obvious that before he could speak, Pei Yi took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
The old emperor's anger was suddenly interrupted, and he froze for a moment, then became even more angry.
Dare to tell me to calm down? !
What are you?
Who dares to teach me how to be a man? !
The old emperor glared angrily at a pair of phoenix eyes that were no longer clear, and was about to open his mouth to scold the ignorant Pei family dandy, when he heard the dandy say desperately: "If your majesty gets angry, I'm afraid I'm going to faint again."
Are you sincere? !
Instead of being appeased, the old emperor became even more angry, and his eyes began to blur again.
He thought bitterly: I must drag Pei Sanlang out and give him a hundred sticks to beat this dude until he is paralyzed! See if Pei Sanlang dares to mess around in front of me!
Pei Yi calmly held down the old emperor with her thumb, and successfully recovered the old emperor from the dizzy state.
Then, she put her hand on the old emperor's wrist, feeling the other's pulse, and said leisurely, "Your Majesty is too angry, okay?"
She now looks like an old man sitting still, especially like a charlatan who is carrying a signboard and bluffing around.
The old emperor suddenly felt that the majestic king of the country was being teased by such a little magic stick!
He was so choked up in his heart that he couldn't bear it anymore so he opened his mouth to reprimand him.
However, this Pei family dude was so shameless that he rushed to speak before him again: "Your Majesty, do you often have chest tightness and shortness of breath recently, occasionally feel dizzy and congested, and sometimes vomit blood from the mouth."
The old emperor was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then his face was so gloomy that it looked like the bottom of a black pot that had been burning for more than ten years.
He propped up the bed and was about to get up suddenly, and said angrily: "Presumptuous!" This Sanlang of the Pei family dared to spy on me! The brat is impatient!
Until this moment, the old emperor's train of thought had been completely taken astray unconsciously.
He was originally focused on punishing the crime of being unfilial, but now he is focused on fixing Pei Sanlang, who has ulterior motives.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Pei Yi raised her hand and pushed back the old emperor who was about to sit up.
The old emperor was pushed back on the bed suddenly, and the whole person fell into a state of blindness.
Pei Sanlang dare to push me down? !
How dare this brat hold me down?
How dare this little bastard? !
I am the king of a country, the Son of Heaven!
The anger in the old emperor's heart soared instantly, climbing up his chest all the way to his forehead, making his head dizzy, and his eyes began to turn black again.
He widened his eyes and said angrily: "Zhu Zi dare!" I must kill this brat!
The voice of the old emperor was really too loud, Pei Yi was so frightened by the roar that her shoulders trembled slightly.
Although her body showed a little timidity, her expression was still calm.
Pei Yi asked solemnly: "Your Majesty, have you been taking pills recently?"
Although she tried her best to put on the air of a master, in the eyes of outsiders, her inconspicuous appearance still looked like an unreliable charlatan.
However, the words of the magic stick are too wrong.
The old emperor was caught off guard.
He froze for a moment, then glared angrily at the dude in front of him, and asked coldly, "Where did you hear that?"
Pei Yi said humbly: "I can tell. Judging from His Majesty's current pulse condition, it is estimated that he has been taking the pill for nearly two months."
The old emperor's expression became extremely dignified.
He couldn't help but sized up the Pei family dude again, and asked half-believingly, "Do you know medical skills?"
Pei Yi cupped her hands, and smiled modestly: "I have been interested in medical skills since I was a child, so I have done a lot of research in private, and now I have achieved something." To be cured. Since he was going to take action to treat the disease, he must not be able to hide the fact that he has good medical skills, so he can only admit it like this.
The old emperor resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said to himself: Why is Saburo Pei so shameless? Moreover, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, even more shameless than the father Pei Shu!
The old emperor snorted coldly, looked at Pei Yi with what he thought was wise, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Even the imperial physician has never diagnosed my condition, so how did you know it?" Young people are arrogant and talk a lot. I don’t know where I got the truth and I still pretend to be an expert.
Unknowingly, the old emperor's thinking has been taken more and more biased—from "I must punish Pei Sanlang's crime" to "I must expose the true face of this little god".
Pei Yi sat upright by the bed, looked down at the old emperor who was held down by her, and explained very seriously: "Because the medical skills of the humble officials are better than the imperial physicians."
"噗嗤..." The old emperor was directly amused, thinking how could this Pei Sanlang be so nonsense? Even better than Pei Shu, who is a father, he can talk nonsense.
He deliberately wanted to expose the young man's lies, and teased: "You just said that you have achieved something, so what exactly is your achievement?"
The old emperor's train of thought was further misled—from "I must expose the true face of this little magic stick" just now to "I want to see how this little magic stick can tell jokes".
Pei Yi smiled calmly and said, "So far, there are two medical cases that I am most proud of."
She pointed out a finger and said solemnly: "One is that I cured my personal bodyguard. He suffered from serious physical damage due to years of poisoning, and even Dr. Yue, who is known as a miracle doctor, said that he could only extend it for ten years." Lifespan. But after some adjustments by me, not to mention that he can live another ten years, even if he can live another fifty years, it will not be a problem."
The old emperor pursed his lips and suppressed a smile, secretly said: This Pei Sanlang is too good at talking nonsense. Whether this hidden guard can live another fifty years or not will be tested by time. Pei Yi is so swearing, she is clearly fooling people.
Pei Yi pointed out her second finger and said in a serious manner: "This other one is naturally the one I am most proud of - I diagnosed that your majesty was taking elixir, and with your majesty's permission, I cleared it up for your majesty. The poison of elixir. His Majesty thanked me for my excellent medical skills, and gave me the title of 'Medical Immortal' and a plaque of the amount."
The old emperor finally couldn't help laughing, and jokingly said: "You really know how to brag."
Just like that, the old emperor's thinking has unconsciously changed from "I want to see how this little magic stick can tell jokes" to "This little magic stick is really interesting, thick-skinned and confident enough ".
Pei Yi saw that the old emperor was smiling, and said to herself: It’s good if you smile, the atmosphere will be better, and things will be easier to handle. Especially when I cure your illness, won't it be easier to ask you to let Huo Yuan go?
"Your Majesty, I'm just telling the truth." Pei Yi showed a very solemn look, her voice suddenly lowered, and said very seriously, "Please give me the elixir you are currently taking."
Seeing that the Pei family dude is so serious, the old emperor couldn't help being infected, and his attitude became a little more serious.
But now he can't talk about trusting the medical skills of the Pei family dude, and more of a playful mood to see what tricks the Pei family dude can play.
So, the old emperor took out a brocade box from under the pillow and handed it over.
Pei Yi took the brocade box silently, feeling a little embarrassed for no reason.
She thought that the old emperor would hide the elixir in some hidden place, but she just stuffed it under the pillow and it was over?
But having said that, there are not many people who just lifted the old emperor's pillow, so the location can be regarded as hidden and safe.
Pei Yi silently opened the brocade box.
Since her medical skills were upgraded to the "proficient" level, her sensitivity to drugs has also become extremely high.
She put the brocade box under her nose, and with a light sniff, she guessed the ingredients of the elixir pretty well.
Pei Yi frowned tightly, closed the brocade box with difficulty hiding her disgust, and handed the box back in a hurry.
Seeing how disgusted she was, the old emperor suddenly felt that the brocade box was like a stinky trash, and instantly he didn't want the brocade box.
He took the brocade box resentfully, and asked in an extremely unhappy mood: "Is there any problem with this elixir?"
Pei Yi looked very serious, and asked: "Does Your Majesty have to take three pills every two days now, or else you will have a splitting headache, and the chest is extremely distressed, and it is difficult to even breathe?"
Seeing that what she said was not bad at all, the old emperor couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said very solemnly: "That's right."
Pei Yi raised a plain hand, pinched her slender fingers and counted.
The old emperor's expression froze for a moment, and the solemn feeling just now was shattered again.
I think this Pei Sanlang is a magic stick!
Which imperial doctor needs to be able to pinch and count when treating people?
The old emperor was complaining in his heart, when he heard Pei's dandy say seriously: "Your Majesty, I have counted, and you should have taken thirty-two pills by now."
The old emperor was dumbfounded, and the contempt he had just complained disappeared in an instant.
He couldn't hide his shock and said: "That's right, it's thirty-two."
Pei Yi nodded slightly, and said with a fake smile: "I don't know who offered this elixir to His Majesty?"
Seeing Pei Yi's expression, the old emperor knew something was wrong with the pill, so he didn't answer for a while.
Pei Yi pretended not to see the old emperor's expression of resistance, and said righteously: "The person who presented this pill is someone who messed with my Great Zhou Dynasty! These pills contain cinnabar and other things, if the amount is small, it is not enough I thought it was scary. But the amount of elixir that your Majesty is taking now is five times the amount of ordinary elixir. Your Majesty has reached the middle stage of medicinal use. If you continue to use the elixir according to the current dosage, I am afraid that you will become immortal in half a year. .”
The so-called "becoming immortal" can't be true becoming an immortal, but refers to returning to the west after riding a crane.
The old emperor was amused by this statement.
But after he smiled slightly, his face sank.
The person who gave him the elixir clearly wanted his life!
The old emperor no longer hesitated, and said coldly: "Come here, go and invite Wu Tianshi here!"
He shouted loudly, and the inner guards waiting in the outer hall immediately took orders and left.
It was already late at night, and every household had closed their doors to sleep.
The inner guard went straight to the place where Tianshi Wu was, broke open the door with one kick, and picked up Tianshi Wu who was still sleeping soundly on the bed without saying a word.
Tianshi Wu was hugging a beautiful woman to share a sweet dream, when he was suddenly woken up, he was naturally furious.
But when he saw that the person who arrested him was the inner guard, Wu Tianshi immediately became cowardly again, his whole face was extremely cowardly, and even his words became trembling.
"My lord, why did Your Majesty call me into the palace?" Wu Tianshi swallowed, feeling terrified in his heart.
Don't blame him for being supercilious. Normally, the emperor came to invite him very politely, and the inner guards were also very polite to him.
But tonight, the inner guard didn't give him any face, and just dragged him to the road like this.
Not long after, Wu Tianshi was brought into the palace by the inner guard.
The old emperor was still lying on the bed in the inner hall and did not get up. Naturally, Wu Tianshi was brought to the bed and knelt down.
Pei Yi pulled back the curtain in front of the bed, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is Wu Tianshi?"
Wu Tianshi knelt on the ground, did not dare to lift his head, and said submissively, dripping cold sweat, "Yes, yes, it is the villain."
Pei Yi took out three brocade boxes, leaned over and placed them in front of Tianshi Wu one by one, then opened the boxes one by one, smiled kindly, and greeted relatives like greeting relatives during the New Year: "Tianshi Wu, here are thirty Six pills. His Majesty pities you for your hard work, and rewards you with all of them, and invites the Celestial Master to enjoy them face to face."
Wu Tianshi's face was pale, and his whole body was like sifting chaff. He kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Pei Yi stood up straight, looked down at the wretched man kneeling on the ground, and said with a wicked smile: "Where did the celestial master say this? Your Majesty rewarded you with such a precious immortality elixir, why are you still yelling?" Do you want His Majesty to spare your life? You should thank Lord Ron."
Wu Tianshi was sweating like a waterfall, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, spare me!" This elixir is a life-threatening thing! If he took thirty-six pills together, he would definitely die!
The old emperor smoked from his seven orifices.
Although he expected that there was a problem with the pill, he still had a little luck.
But now this so-called celestial master kept begging for mercy without a word of excuse, no doubt he slapped him severely.
The old emperor sat up on the side of the bed, gritted his teeth and said: "Pull him down and torture him!"
The two inner guards immediately supported Wu Tianshi's left and right arms, one left and one right, and dragged him out of the inner hall.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Wu Tianshi's begging voice gradually faded away.
An inner guard stepped forward, took out a sweat towel and stuffed it directly into Wu Tianshi's mouth, and now the noise completely disappeared.
The old emperor was really angry, and ordered: "Send these three brocade boxes to Master Wu! No matter whether he confesses to the person behind the scenes, all three brocade boxes will be rewarded to him!"
An inner guard waiting by the bed immediately took orders.
The old emperor was so angry that his chest hurt and his head was very dizzy.
He really wants to take the pill now, but the three boxes of pills left in his hand have been taken away by the inner guard.
When his heart was restless, a cup appeared in front of the old emperor.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw that Saburo Pei was bending over and handing him a cup of hot tea.
The old emperor's originally gloomy mood could not help but brighten up a bit.
He took a sip of the hot tea, laughed jokingly and joked, "You are not straightforward." The thing that used the brocade box to scare Wu Tianshi just now was completely improvised by Pei Sanlang, and he didn't give me any reason beforehand.
Pei Yi said solemnly: "The humble minister is the most upright. Especially in front of His Majesty, the humble minister dare not be upright."
The old emperor laughed and scolded in his heart: sycophant. You are better at flattering than your old man Pei Shu.
The old emperor took a sip of tea, felt a little better, and ordered: "Go and invite Imperial Physician Chen to come over."
Physician Chen is the judge of the Imperial Hospital, and he is known as the "National Scholar" of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His medical skills are naturally superb.
However, judging from Pei Yi's current medical skills, Imperial Physician Chen is still not up to par.
But she was not arrogant enough to refuse the old emperor's invitation to the imperial physician.
On the contrary, if the imperial physician is present, it will just set off her intelligence!
Yes, she is so confident!
The villain in Pei Yi's heart stood with her hips on her hips, straight and confident, and imposing like a rainbow.
According to the rules, the imperial physicians have to take turns to be on duty in the palace at night, in order to ensure that the nobles can find the imperial physician as quickly as possible no matter what time.
Doctor Chen, whose medical skills are highly recognized by the royal family, naturally spends most of the year in the palace on duty.
However, Imperial Physician Chen is old after all, and his walking is a bit slow. Even in the palace, it takes time to walk to the White Lotus Palace.
In order to increase the speed, the inner guards directly found a bamboo pole cart to help Imperial Physician Chen sit on the seat, and then hurried on the road with the bamboo pole cart on their shoulders.
Not long after, the group arrived at the White Lotus Palace.
Imperial Physician Chen got out of the bamboo pole cart as quickly as he could, not daring to take any action of relying on his elders.
As soon as he stepped into the outer hall, he saw the third prince sitting beside him.
Imperial Physician Chen immediately bent down and raised his hand to salute, "I have seen the Third Highness."
Huo Yuan secretly thought that the old doctor was quite loyal. He immediately cupped his hands in return and said, "Physician Chen."
Imperial Physician Chen hurriedly saluted and was about to continue on his way, but he saw Gu Changze who shrank aside.
"Hmm!" Gu Changze moved his body desperately, moaning for help, hoping that this kind-hearted doctor Chen could help him out of the predicament.
However, it is true that Imperial Physician Chen is kind-hearted, but an imperial physician who walks in the palace all year round also knows best what to do and what not to do.
Henceforth, Gu Changze watched helplessly as the benevolent and kind-hearted doctor Chen quickly walked into the inner hall without looking back or pausing.
Physician Chen was extremely courteous, and politely said: "See Your Majesty!"
The old emperor was eager to save his life, and hurriedly said: "Chen Qing, please get up quickly."
Imperial Physician Chen stood up, only then did he see the third son of the Pei family standing beside the bed.
In the middle of the night, why did the third son Pei appear in the White Lotus Palace?
Thinking of the third prince who is still sitting in the outer hall, a thought flashed in Chen Taiyi's mind—but the thought was vague and passed away so quickly that he couldn't even catch it.
But these are not important anymore.
Physician Chen abandoned distracting thoughts, and quickly walked to the bedside to see His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, this so-called "fast" is only what Dr. Chen thinks is "fast enough".
Actually, in the eyes of young people like Pei Yi, Imperial Physician Chen's "speed" can already be called "turtle speed".
The inner hall was quiet, the atmosphere was extremely tense and dignified, and even the air seemed to be stagnant, making people dare not even take a breath.
Everyone in the room held their breath and stared intently at the state of seeing a doctor by the side of the bed.
Pei Yi felt extremely relaxed in her heart, but she could only put on a tense expression on her face—it can’t be helped, the emperor has been poisoned, and if you, a courtier, don’t show your nervousness and worry enough, you will be treasonous.
As time went by, Imperial Physician Chen's expression became more and more solemn, and everyone became more and more nervous. Pei Yi could only put on a more and more nervous expression.
After a long time, Imperial Physician Chen sighed and shook his head, then knelt down on the ground, and said guiltily and fearfully, "This old minister is incompetent! The poison your Majesty has suffered has penetrated deep into your lungs, and this old minister...can only try to cleanse the poison!"
The old emperor's face was terrified, and then a burst of anger surged upwards, and he opened his mouth to ask someone to drag this damned doctor Chen out and behead him.
Pei Yi saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Chen Taiyi said is true. Your Majesty has been taking the elixir for a long time, and the poison of the elixir has penetrated deep into the internal organs. It is not easy to clear the poison."
The old emperor was furious, and his eyes turned black.
He knew that his body couldn't stand the anger anymore, so he could only keep his mind still, but the anger was still hard to suppress.
He could only reprimand with a livid face: "What's the use of raising you?! You have no ability at critical moments!"
The doctor Chen's face was pale, and he quickly lowered his head and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
When he said this, he quietly pulled down Pei Yi's clothes in a hurry, thinking to himself, why is this Pei Jiasaburo so stupid? When the emperor is angry, his corpse will float for thousands of miles. It is serious for the Pei family boy to kneel down and beg the emperor to appease his anger!
All the inner guards also knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Pei Yi no longer wants to kneel.
She stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Your Majesty, I have a method that I can try—but this method is very dangerous, and I dare not use it without authorization."
What can't the old emperor do to save his life?
He immediately said impatiently: "Try it if it works! If it doesn't work, I'll cut off your head!"
Pei Yi rolled her eyes silently in her heart, and said sincerely: "If it's useless, don't say that His Majesty wants to chop off the head of Weichen, Weichen himself wiped his neck with a knife to apologize."
Physician Chen was anxious, thinking to himself, what can this Pei family boy do now? Your Majesty is hopeless. Pei Sanlang's anger is completely a joke with his own life!
All the inner guards couldn't help secretly looking at Pei Yi. Immediately afterwards, they looked at each other, with the same confusion in their hearts: Is this shameless Mr. Pei San still desperate?
