Chapter 3250 A confidant

The emperor sent someone to send Master Naluo'er down. After lunch, all the ministers also retired. Only the prince and Zhou Manxiao Yuanzheng were left behind.

However, only Zhou Man accompanied the emperor into the inner chamber, while the prince and Xiao Yuanzheng were left outside the emperor's palace.

The emperor lifted up his robe and sat on the couch with a golden sword. He looked at Zhou Man and said, "Let's talk."

Zhou Manchong bowed deeply to the emperor and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you have been poisoned."

Gu Zhong, who was standing aside holding the medicine box, shook his hands slightly and looked at Zhou Man in shock.

The emperor was still calm and composed and asked: "What poison?"

"Essipelas," Zhou Man said with a serious face, "In other words, the purpose of this elixir is not for immortality, but for the erysipelas contained in it."

The emperor frowned and looked at Zhou Man suspiciously, "Could it be that you are trying to trick me because you, like all the ministers, are against me taking the elixir?"

Zhou Man's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, am I that kind of person?"

She said: "This is medicine and pharmacy, my profession. How could I use it to deceive others?"

Zhou Man paused and then said: "Besides, you also said that you never thought that the elixir of life could make people immortal. You just wanted to prolong your life and live for a few more decades."

"Actually, I have the same idea as you," Zhou Man said: "There may be no medicine in this world that can make people live forever, but there must be something that can make people live longer, decades or even hundreds of years longer."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately sat aside, gave up the other side of the couch, and waved to her, "Come here and talk to me carefully."

Zhou Man immediately stepped forward, and the emperor and his ministers sat cross-legged facing each other. Gu Zhong hesitated for a while, but he still moved the small table up and placed it between them, and then went to make tea and prepare snacks for them.

When Gu Zhong went out, he heard the emperor ask with interest: "How long do you think it is normal for a person to live?"

Gu Zhong turned around and closed the door, and said to the prince and Xiao Yuanzheng who were waiting outside: "Your Highness, Xiao Yuanzheng, Your Majesty and Lord Zhou are talking. I'm afraid they won't be able to summon him for a while. Your Highness wants to go sit in the side hall first."

To rest?"

The prince thought for a moment, nodded, turned around and went to the side hall.

Xiao Yuan hurriedly followed.

The two of them guessed that the emperor was probably asking about Zhou Man's health when he met him alone. They thought that a short while or as long as two quarters of an hour would be enough. As a result, they sat in the side hall and drank a pot of tea, watching the sun slow down.

Slowly turning to the west, Zhou Man still didn't come out.

Prince:......

If he hadn't understood the personalities of his father and Zhou Man, he would have almost misunderstood what they were doing inside.

However, Gu Zhong stayed inside and did not come out. A lot of tea was brought in, and he didn't know what the two of them were talking about.

The two were chatting about immortality. Of course, Zhou Man was mainly talking and the emperor was listening.

Zhou Man believes that since the ancients believed that a hundred years is a human life, then the normal life span of a human should be a hundred years.

The emperor sighed thoughtfully: "A hundred years old, but it is time for a person to know his destiny when he reaches fifty, let alone sixty-seven or ten. There are not many old people in Jin Dynasty who can live such a long time."

Zhou Man nodded and said: "This is because when a person lives in the world, it will have an impact on the body. A person's diet, daily life, and the pain and injuries suffered during the growth of the body will all have an impact on a person's lifespan..."

Zhou Man had done some research. Because she was talking to the emperor, her language was more concise and easy to understand. She also loved to give examples. In just a short while, the old wound on the emperor's body was pulled out to use as example three.

Back.

Zhou Man picked up the tea cup and took another sip of tea, and said to the emperor: "It's just that there are too many animals and plants in the world, and things that can be used as medicine include stones and bones. It may take a few years to develop medicines that prolong life.

Hundreds of years, thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years."

Emperor: "...It's too long. I don't have such a big heart. You can achieve it in a short time."

"That is to improve everyone's living standards. If you eat well, drink well, wear good clothes, don't starve, don't freeze, your life span will be greatly improved. It is the most simple, effective and straightforward."

Yes, they have already talked about the issue of life span increase in Dajin as a whole from individuals.

At this time, the emperor had a more thorough understanding of "immortality" and knew that it was impossible to achieve it in the short term.

Gu Zhong looked at the time and felt that it would be dark if the two of them continued chatting, so he quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Xiao Yuan are still waiting outside."

The emperor then remembered the business and asked Zhou Man: "You said that I was infected with erysipelas. Do you have any basis for it?"

He said: "Xiao Yuanzheng has been taking my pulse in the past few months. Except for occasionally saying that the pulse is a bit dry, there are no problems. I also feel that my energy is much better than before."

Zhou Man said: "I didn't hear it at first. When I was about to stop my hand, I suddenly noticed that my pulse was a little stagnant. Then I listened carefully again. After that, my pulse was normal, but after about eighty breaths, it would stagnate again.

…”

"I have calculated that the interval is between eighty and eighty-five breaths. It is a very short period of stagnation. It only lasts a moment. Your Majesty will not feel it too deeply, and it will be difficult for the imperial doctor to detect it."

Seeing the emperor's confused look, Zhou Man knew that he didn't know what this regular moment of stagnation meant, so he looked around and saw a piece of jade on the ancient shelf not far away, with a red tie tied to it.

He pointed at the long rope and said: "Bring it here."

Gu Zhong glanced at the emperor, and after getting permission, he went to get it.

Zhou Man held the rope and hung the jade between the two of them. "Your Majesty, did you know that the heartbeat is pumping blood to all parts of the body?" She clenched her fist with her right hand and opened and closed it to let the emperor

look.

The emperor actually understood and nodded, "What then?"

"Then..." Zhou Man scratched his head and swayed the jade, "Then you look at this jade, it is just like the heart. It swings like this, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but

No matter how fast or slow it is, it’s within a certain range, and that’s normal.”

"But, suddenly it paused, and then continued to swing normally. After a certain period of time, it paused again." Zhou Man pinched Yujue and let it continue to swing. "This pause is abnormal, and it is not within the normal range."

Within a short period of time, nothing can be seen, but as time goes by, big problems will arise."

"Is this poisoning?" The emperor understood, but frowned and said, "Can't it be because of illness?"

Zhou Man moved back and stared at the emperor's lips carefully, "It is too difficult to explain clearly. I can only say that based on my experience, after ruling out all possibilities, poisoning is

The greatest possibility of them all.”

"But if you want me to provide evidence, it would be your lips," Zhou Man said, "I think your lips are darker than before."

The emperor turned to look at Gu Zhong.
