The past life is cold and the present life is warm

The grand master kept his eyes closed and looked like he was asleep. When the emperor mentioned that he hurriedly stepped out of the queue and bowed and said: "Uh, old minister, I know that your majesty didn't let us three old guys come out to assist the country because he felt sorry for us because we are old. Besides, since your majesty is still in the palace, your body It’s no big deal. It’s the same no matter who you choose to supervise and assist the country. I don’t have to listen to your majesty, so there is no difference.”

Master Yan, who was standing behind him and bowing, couldn't help but look up at the old master. Some gnashing of teeth. If King Huaisi is not given the opportunity to supervise the country this time, it will be obvious that King Huaisi is not the candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's mind. So we can't give up so easily.

So Yan Xiuqi hurriedly said: "Old Master, your Majesty is asking about King Huaisi, not you."

The grand master then looked like he understood. He continued to bow and looked back at Yan Xiuqi and said, "Oh, didn't you mean us three old guys? Then it doesn't matter." After that, he said to the emperor. The ceremony returned directly to the ranks of hundreds of officials.

Taifu Sun on the side said with a smile: "They say I am the best at making peace with mud. I found that the Taishi is much more skilled than me. I still have to learn more from you."

Grand Master snorted and ignored Master Sun, who continued to close his eyes and rest. He is getting older and may abdicate next year. I don't want to end up getting involved in this party struggle and ruin my reputation for a lifetime. Whoever wants to make money will fight for it.

The emperor smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, even the old master thinks there is no objection, so let's do it. After leaving the court, King Huaisi will come to the imperial study. I have an important task for you."

After saying that, he stood up and left regardless of the civil and military officials in the hall. But the moment he took a step, his body couldn't help but swayed. The amplitude was very small, but Shao Zhikan could see it clearly. So he quickly turned his wheelchair and followed. When he turned to the back of the palace, he quickly stepped forward to give him a hand. His face was full of worry.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

The emperor put one hand on Shao Zhikan, covered his head with the other, and closed his eyes tightly. But because he was afraid that the officials would see him in the main hall, he still endured the pain and did not fall down. But I couldn’t say a word that didn’t matter.

This made Shao Zhikan a little anxious. He was afraid that he would arouse others' suspicion when he came. So he carefully tried to help the emperor move slowly. And motioned to the little eunuch next to him to close the door to the apse. So as not to see King Huaisi later on his way to the imperial study.

After Eunuch Fu announced the dismissal of the court, he also hurried to the back hall. One look at the emperor's appearance and he knew that he was seriously ill. Fortunately, when I came to court just now, I was afraid that the emperor would be ill, so I called the royal chariot. This will be just the right time to carry the emperor to the imperial study.

After the emperor sat on the imperial chariot, he said feebly: "Khan'er just stood up. Did those people help my uncle remember it clearly?"

Shao Zhikan said calmly: "I remember clearly."

Several ministers still wanted to talk to the emperor alone. So I went to the Imperial Study Room with King Huaisi. Halfway there, I saw the emperor's chariot not far away being carried slowly to the imperial study.

A minister frowned and looked at the emperor's chariot and said: "On weekdays, the emperor walks up and down by himself. He didn't even use the chariot when he had a headache a while ago. Why did he use it today? .Is there any problem with the Emperor's health?"

King Huaisi also frowned and remained silent. Count the days. The elixir he donated to his father can still be consumed for at least half a month. So it shouldn't be poisonous hair or poisonous insect activation. But what's going on now? Could it be that my father is really ill this time?

It seems that I should let the imperial doctor take a closer look later. But does not letting him supervise the country this time mean that his father is really planning to give up on him? Thinking of this, his expression turned gloomy.

After arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Eunuch Fu helped the emperor rest for a while when he heard the little eunuch say that King Huaisi and several adults were coming. Eunuch Fu looked at the emperor worriedly. The emperor's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Shao Zhikan said at this time: "Two days ago, I went to Jialan Temple to learn acupuncture techniques for pain relief from Master Wu. It was just to deal with urgent needs when my uncle wanted to stop taking the elixir. Do you want me to try it? Give it a try?”

The emperor lay on the couch with his eyes closed and covered with sweat. He gently knocked the edge of the couch with his hand to indicate to Shao Zhihan that it was okay.

Shao Zhikan did not hesitate and immediately took out a set of silver needles and a small bottle of spirits from his sleeves. He dipped the silver needle in the wine, shook it dry, and immediately stuck it into several of the emperor's acupuncture points.

Immediately after the pricking, I heard the emperor exhale slowly. His expression also relaxed.

Shao Zhikan asked Eunuch Rui for a handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from the emperor's face, and then slowly took out the silver needle. Then I soaked it in wine, wiped it dry and put it back in the bag.

The emperor then opened his eyes and said: "I didn't expect that. The emperor's children are more useful than those imperial doctors. I really don't know what the use is of raising them." He took a deep breath.

Then he got up and went to the imperial court. Signaling Eunuch Fu to call King Huai Si to come in.

King Huaisi frowned, lifted his robe and stepped into the imperial study. As soon as he entered the imperial study room, he saw Shao Zhikan sitting quietly on the side of the imperial desk. The skylight coming in through the window lattice just fell on his face and body, making his eyes droop slightly and his eyelashes were like butterfly wings. Trembling slightly. The skin on the face is also as moist and translucent as fine mutton-fat jade.

This made King Huaisi swallow his saliva when he saw him as soon as he entered the palace. Then he hurriedly looked at the emperor who was sitting behind the imperial desk. He bowed and asked, "I wonder if my father has any important tasks for my son?"

The emperor seems to be in good spirits. With a smile on his face, he said: "The pills Chang'er gave to my father are really miraculous. I feel like my headaches are not only cured. I have even changed in every aspect. So my father has a very important task to entrust to you this time." You." After saying that, he gestured towards Shao Zhikan.

Shao Zhikan said reluctantly: "I wonder if His Highness King Huaisi has heard about the treasure of the previous dynasty?"

Xiao Jingchang couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart when he heard that Shao Zhikan mentioned the treasure from the previous dynasty. This was a secret, so he frowned and shook his head.

At this time, the emperor said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Let the prince explain it to you. The task assigned to you this time is related to the treasure of the previous dynasty."

Jamel Xiao's face was calm. But I couldn't help but feel ecstatic in my heart. He felt that this matter was indeed much more important than supervising the country. He knows that according to legend, whoever gets the treasure of the previous dynasty will be able to conquer the world. Doesn't this also prove that the father recognizes himself? Otherwise, why would you leave such a big matter to yourself?

Shao Zhikan's heart also turned over and over again. He never expected that his uncle would leave the search for the treasure to Xiao Jingchang. I really don’t know whether I want to help him or isolate him.
