Chapter 7 Mother and Child
The weakness of the ancient witch sect can be said to have a great relationship with the medicine of immortality. The ten witches of Lingshan were divided into two, and the six witches of enlightenment entered the "Xuandu Zifu" and turned against each other. Except for Wu Yang, the other five people died. Wu Xian was also killed by his four sisters and suppressed in the Netherworld Valley.
Because of the internal struggle between the Ten Witches of Lingshan Mountain, the ancient witch sect grew from prosperity to decline. At such a great price, it is naturally reasonable for Wu Xian to have an obsession with the medicine of immortality.
Li Xuan did not say "yes" or "no", but said: "First of all, there are two points to explain to the great wizard. First, I did not use the complete immortality medicine. At that time, the immortality medicine was divided into six parts. Earth Master Xu Wugui took two parts, Wu Yang took one part, and I took three parts. Second, my "Eternal Life Stone" was not essentially different from the "Eternal Life Stone" refined by the great wizard himself. It was just that I had undergone the training of the heavenly tribulation. I couldn't say anything about what kind of changes it had occurred. It was just that after I got the "Eternal Life Stone", I did not become crazy like the great wizard."
At the earliest, the immortal medicine used by the Ten Witches of Lingshan to cure sausage was called "Immortal Medicine". After the reform of the Six Witches of Kaiming, the word "Eternal Life" was added, and it was named "Eternal Life and Immortality Medicine". The "Immortal Medicine" improved by Wu Xian was later "Eternal Life Stone".
After hearing this, Wu Xian said thoughtfully: "The 'Eternal Life Stone' that has been cured by the heavenly tribulation plus half of the immortal medicines, this is a bit complicated."
Li Xuandu asked: "I have already made it clear in the specific situation. I wonder if the great wizard wants it?"
"Yes, of course." Wu Xian did not hesitate, "I want to know where I was wrong."
Li Xuandu said: "What can the great wizard do if he fully understands it? The materials for refining the medicine of immortality are all in the Five Elements Cave Heaven of the 'Xuandu Purple Mansion'. Lu Wushen is guarded by him, and he was also picked by the six wizards. The great wizard may be a clever woman who cooks without rice."
Wu Xian said: "I heard the truth in the morning and died in the evening. Do you still not give me any gifts? Let me say good things."
Li Xuan felt a little funny. Although Wu Xian has recovered most of his mind, his temperament has changed a lot. The first half of the sentence is like the great wizard who once served the Emperor of Heaven, but the second half is the tone of a secular woman.
Li Xuan didn't say much anymore, reached out and pressed his chest gently, and a clear air suddenly appeared on his face, making him look like a stubborn stone.
I saw countless green lights burst out between the five fingers of Li Xuandu’s palm pressing on his chest. Then Li Xuandu slowly moved his palm away, and a little green light hung in his palm, like a fireflies.
For Li Xuandu, he has entered the immortal realm and losing some medicinal properties will not hinder his cultivation. As long as he does not give away the entire "Eternal Life Stone" to others, it will not have much impact.
Wu Xian looked at the little green light in Li Xuandu's palm with a fiery look, his nose wings twitched slightly, and murmured: "Fresh, natural, with a thunderous aura, without a slight smell of blood, it's really a big difference."
Li Xuandu waved his hand and the green light flew towards Wu Xian: "Please prepare early for the great wizard."
Wu Xian reached out to hold the green light, swallowed it directly into his mouth, and smiled and said, "Wu Yang and I served the Emperor of Heaven back then, but now we are allowed to drive the boss."
"I dare not take it, nor dare to compare it with the Emperor of Heaven." Li Xuandu said humbly.
Wu Xian was satisfied and did not intend to talk to Li Xuandu anymore, saying, "Let's go, please let the boss do it yourself."
After the words came to an end, Yao Xianglian trembled slightly and her eyes became dazed.
Li Xuan knew that Wu Xian had left, and the next one was the lady of the Yao family.
Sure enough, Yao Xianglian rubbed her eyes, looked at Li Xuandu, and said in confusion: "Are you Miss Qin's husband?"
Li Xuan smiled: "Miss Qin asked me to say hello to Miss Yao on her behalf."
Yao Xianglian sighed: "I have become a Taoist nun, so I can't get married. What's the point of working every day? I just have to wait for a long time."
Li Xuandu asked, "Ms. Yao feels it's too hard?"
Yao Xianglian hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Li Xuandu said: "Miss Qin has a friendship with Princess Xuanzhen. She will ask Princess Xuanzhen to take care of Miss Yao more, please don't worry."
Yao Xianglian was happy at first, then she was a little confused: "I am not close to Miss Qin, why did she help me like this?"
Li Xuandu said: "It's probably because she's going to be together, or Miss Yao is lucky and has the secret care of her gods, and she will meet noble people when she goes out."
After saying that, Li Xuan stopped talking and walked straight out of the door.
Yao Xianglian looked at Li Xuandu's back and felt strange, but the statement of "care of gods" reminded her of those bizarre dreams. Could it be that she was really eyed by any god?
...
Inside the imperial palace.
Emperor Tianbao came to pay his respects to his mother as usual, and in addition to him, there was also his queen. After all, the primary premise for the emperor to rule was the emperor's wedding. The Confucian clan advocated that the empress dowager returned to power to the emperor for so long, and the emperor could not have married a wife. However, the emperor and the empress got married for two years and had no children.
After asking for peace, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Tianbao sat down, and the Empress stood by.
Compared with Empress Dowager Xie, the famous mother-in-law, the queen is really not famous and does not have much weight in the court. This is reasonable. After all, the queen is not from a high school. Her father only enjoys a high reputation among the Confucian scholars, but has never served in the court. She is not a Confucian scholar or the chief of the academy. She can only be said to be a scholarly family. The noble is the noble, and no matter how expensive it is, can she be as valuable as the Tian family royal family, which is comparable to the saint's mansion?
Another thing is that the queen is younger than the emperor. If she is placed in the world, Li Xuan can still be regarded as a young man. She is just a child at this age. The older Wanshou Zhenren, Tibetan Old Man, Ji Tianwang and others are almost her great-grandfather generation.
It is said that the dispute between the emperor and the empress is not, of course, it is not the emperor and the empress, but the emperor and the empress. Now the relationship between the emperor and the empress is tense, but after all, it is a mother and son connected by blood, and it is not yet at the level of breaking up. It is also subject to the rules and etiquette of ancestors. Usually, the mother and son will also say some common words so that they will not interact with each other until they die.
Xie Zhi glanced at her respectful son with a deep look.
After all, the four ministers including Zhang Suqing were considered members of the Confucian sect. Although the new policy of the four ministers touched the interests of the Confucian sect, the Confucian sect did not support the four ministers, which forced Zhang Suqing and others to seek support from the Taoist sect, if they wanted to let the Confucian sergeant to watch the four ministers die, Xie Zhi still had to show some "sincerity".
This "sincerity" is Emperor Tianbao.
Xie Zhi knew very well that the Confucian Sect was betting on Emperor Tianbao. As long as Emperor Tianbao was in their hands, even if the four ministers were gone, the empress dowager would only temporarily hold power. When Emperor Tianbao took power, the world would be theirs again. In addition, the Taoist Sect involved great energy in the Confucian Sect, so the Confucian Sect was not radical in the past few years and focused on waiting.
At that time, she had no qualifications to refuse, so she could only agree.
So over the years, Emperor Tianbao, from his teacher to his followers, has been all people among the Confucian sects, and even if he is the candidate for the queen, it was decided by the Confucian sects.
Because of this, Xie Zhi didn't like this daughter-in-law who looked soft, gentle and virtuous. Although the queen did not fight for everything, was gentle like water, and even obeyed, making people unable to make mistakes, but in Xie Zhi's eyes, she was cunning and introverted. She was said to be a Confucian scholar, but she looked like a Taoist scholar. After all, the Supreme Taoist ancestor said: "The best is like water, and water is good at benefiting all things without fighting. Only if you don't fight, no one in the world can compete with it."
Didn’t the queen know that the emperor had a Shi Hengbo outside the palace? Most of the time, it was the emperor’s heart. But the queen did not complain at all and adhered to her duties. Instead, she made the emperor look up to the queen. Although the emperor and the queen could not talk about how much love they were, the emperor respected the queen quite much, and the couple on weekdays were considered to be respectful to each other.
When the queen is pregnant, she gives birth to a legitimate son, and becomes the eldest son, and all officials support her, and is justified. She is the crown prince. No matter how much Shi Hengbo is loved by the emperor, she is just an outdoor room without a title. Even if she has a son, she may not even have a title of prince, and she is already in the right way.
What a struggle is not to fight, and not to fight is to fight.
Xie Zhi thought about this and heard Emperor Tianbao say, "Mother..."
"What?" Xie Zhi came to her senses.
Emperor Tianbao hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I have met that Mr. Qingping."
"Li Xuandu." Xie Zhi's face was a little dark.
Emperor Tianbao said: "That's right."
Xie Zhi asked, "What did the emperor do when he sees him?"
Emperor Tianbao said, "I want to see who can make my mother, the kings, and the gentlemen like those who are facing a great enemy."
Xie Zhi asked again: "So has the emperor seen clearly?"
Emperor Tianbao shook his head: "He... this person is crazy and rude and looks down on the court..."
Xie Zhi interrupted him: "Emperor, if you say something unruly, he has this qualification."
Emperor Tianbao was silent, but his palms hidden under the sleeves of the wide robe were clenched into fists.
Xie Zhi frowned and was puzzled: "Why is it so good? I suddenly mentioned Li Xuandu?"
Emperor Tianbao glanced at the queen beside him and whispered: "Queen, go and rest first."
The queen, who had never made any noise, bowed and retreated.
Without Xie Zhi's instructions, the palace maids and the eunuch also retreated together, leaving only the mother and son.
Emperor Tianbao showed an angry look on his face: "Li Xuan is too bullying!"
Xie Zhi narrowed her eyes, looked at the anger on her son's face, as if she was judging the authenticity, and asked, "What will the emperor do?"
Emperor Tianbao took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "I want the gentlemen to try to get rid of this person, but the gentlemen are just perfunctory..."
Xie Zhi sneered: "Sirs still want to keep this knife and use it to kill people. How could he get rid of this person?"
Emperor Tianbao's face suddenly showed a look of panic: "Mother, why did the queen say this?"
Xie Zhi glanced at Emperor Tianbao deeply: "The emperor himself understands it."
Emperor Tianbao whispered: "If the mother said this, the son minister had nothing to say."
A look of disgust flashed across Xie Zhi's face: "I'm tired, the emperor, please step down."
