Cinnabar acts on the central nervous system and is an important medicine for calming the mind. It is mainly used to treat restlessness, palpitations and insomnia. It is very helpful for Wu Meiniang's sadness and anxiety. It will naturally have obvious effects in the early stages, but cinnabar cannot be taken for a long time, otherwise it will accumulate and poison. The ancients did not know that this effect was what he wanted. In the future, Wu Meiniang died of cinnabar poisoning, and no one would suspect that it was caused by this medicine. He would not suspect that it was from him.

Xianyun took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him: "This is Mingkong who asked me to come to you." Zuo Shaoyang took it and saw that there was nothing on the envelope, but it was thick, and I was afraid it was as many as dozens of pages. He thought that Wu Meiniang had so many stingy words to write? Zuo Shaoyang took Xianyun to see his family and introduced Xianyun's identity. Qiao Qiaoer and others heard that they were the girl recognized by Zuo Shaoyang, and they were a little nervous. But when they saw that they had walked out of the monks and had no feelings for Zuo Shaoyang, they confirmed that they were the real girl, not the love sister. So they felt relieved. After the family was very intimate with her, they took her to the backyard to talk. Zuo Shaoyang ordered the donkey to prepare, and with the letter in his hand, he rode into the palace to the prince's East Palace.

Since she has started to poison Wu Meiniang, she will die sooner or later, so she doesn't have to make a mistake in her letter, even if she is sincere in helping them, it will not arouse the suspicion of the two.

He is now free to enter and exit the palace without having to search. Of course, it is only during the day, and after dark, he still cannot enter.

He rode a donkey to the East Palace and reported it to the public. The prince and the princess Zuo Wenzhi met in person. Although Li Zhi is now the crown prince, Zuo Shaoyang is now the emperor's senior brother and his elder Taishan, so he dare not take airs. Zuo Shaoyang asked the prince to retreat, and even his daughter Zuo Wenzhi retreated. There were only two princes left in the room. It was strange that Zuo Shaoyang took out the letter from Wu Meiniang and saw that it was the letter from his lover Wu Meiniang. His whole body was shocked, and his face was red and his eyes were full of fear.

It's no wonder that he had an affair with his father's concubine. If Li Shimin knew the position of the prince, it would be difficult to protect him, and even his life might not be able to stay. He was originally a cowardly person in this life holding the letter, and he was so scared that he was trembling with no one's face and trembling. Finally, his knees softened and he knelt down on the ground with a gurgle: "Father-in-law, please spare my life! I, I, I will never dare...", kowtowed and thudded. Zuo Shaoyang was a little funny. The prince should have kowtowed to him, but now he kowtowed to himself, as if it was a fate to make people. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up: "Taota doesn't have to be like this. Don't worry, I'm not.

Come and ask for the offense!" When the prince heard this, he seemed to have a straw caught by a drowning man, and looked at Zuo Shaoyang with surprise and joy: "Father-in-law is this...", "When I married my daughter to you, I didn't know that you had this relationship with Wu Cairen. Later, Wu Cairen got sick and asked me and told the truth. I realized that I am not an old and old prince to inherit the throne in the future. The emperor has three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. It is impossible for me to guard only one of my daughters. I saw that Wu Cairen missed you and became sick, and I couldn't bear it. I was willing to help you lovers finally get married. The only purpose is that I hope you will be better to Wenzhi in the future."

Prince Li Zhi was sweating profusely on his forehead: "Don't worry, if I treat Wenzhi at all, God will punish him!"

The emperor is the prince and the future emperor. He used "Heavenly punished him" and sweared that it was the heaviest oath. Zuo Shaoyang nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'm relieved. I will keep this matter confidential for you. You can read the letter first. After reading it, write a reply letter and I'll give it to Wu Cairen. Now I'll go see my daughter."

"Yes, thank you, Father-in-law!" The prince kept sending Zuo Shaoyang to the door in fear and fear. Seeing that he had left, he closed the door and quickly read the letter.

In the letter, Wu Meiniang told all the pain of lovesickness, and said that Zuo Shaoyang cured her seriously ill and was willing to help them. She already recognized Zuo Shaoyang as her father. If the sky had eyes, I hope she could serve the prince with her sister Wenzhi.

After seeing this, Li Zhi was sad and happy, ashamed and grateful. After sitting in the Dragon Case, he picked up a pen and wrote a reply. Zuo Shaoyang talked to his daughter Zuo Wenzhi in the room and asked the prince how he was treating her. He said it was very good, but the prince often sighed. For some reason, Zuo Shaoyang naturally knew that this was for Wu Meiniang. So he comforted her. He thought that with hope for the two of them, the prince's mood should gradually get better.

However, after the emperor practiced the magic of prolonging life, he was in great health. The prince had to inherit the throne, but he didn't know that he would have to wait until the year of the monkey and horse month. However, the emperor intended to let the prince participate in politics, but he was stopped by himself. After Wu Meiniang died, this matter could be mentioned again. The prince ascended the throne, and his daughter was the queen, and he became the father-in-law.

The prince wrote a letter and came to the house. When he saw his wife Zuo Wenzhi talking happily with his father-in-law Zuo Shaoyang, he couldn't help feeling ashamed. He pretended to be holding Zuo Wenzhi's slender waist and praised Zuo Shaoyang for his virtuousness and virtue. Zuo Wenzhi blushed.

When he sent Zuo Shaoyang out, the prince quietly sent the letter to Zuo Shaoyang. Zuo Shaoyang returned to the medicine shop and quietly gave the letter to Xianyun. Xianyun said goodbye and left.

In this way, Zuo Shaoyang became the letter of the Hongyan of Wu Meiniang and the prince. At first, they were a little worried about whether Zuo Shaoyang had a purpose, but a while ago, nothing happened. The two of them were very safe to send a message through Zuo Shaoyang. There was no mistake. During this period, the two had a secret meeting several times, which was also arranged by Zuo Shaoyang. It was very appropriate. Then the two believed that Zuo Shaoyang was sincerely helping them, and they couldn't help but burst into gratitude. They all said in private that if they could get what they wished in the future, they must treat Zuo Wenzhi well and rewarded this magnanimous and helpful miracle doctor.

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is the golden autumn of October.

In the past six months, Wu Meiniang has insisted on taking cinnabar powder every day. Symptoms of chronic accumulation poisoning have begun to appear, with metal smell in her mouth, salivation, congestion and ulcers in the mucosa of the mouth, swollen and painful teeth, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, finger tremors, and bloody urine.

When Zuo Shaoyang discovered that Wu Meiniang was poisoned more and more, before she could seek treatment for her, Zuo Shaoyang went to the palace to meet Emperor Li Shimin.

The emperor has been practicing the Taoist art for more than half a year. Not only has the original poisoning been eliminated, but he is also light and healthy, and has a refreshing spirit. Many matters in the court affairs were left to ministers such as Changsun Wuji. He spent half of his time practicing Taoism. Not only did he read the Taoist books in the palace carefully, but he also invited several famous Taoist priests to talk about scriptures and discussions all day long. When Zuo Shaoyang was in the library, he was studying hard with Taoist scriptures and scriptures. He heard the news that Zuo Shaoyang asked for a meeting and quickly summoned him.

Zuo Shaoyang came in, and the emperor bowed and said, "Senior brother is here!", "Yes." Zuo Shaoyang twisted his black beard in an old temper, looked up and down at the emperor, and shook his head.

The emperor was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did senior brother shake his head?", "Your return to the void breathing technique has reached a bottleneck. If you don't adjust the practice technique, it will be difficult to make progress." The emperor also felt that no matter how you concentrate on practicing these days, he seemed to have been stagnant, and he was a little depressed. He thought that he could not work hard, so he hid in the library to find the answer from the classics. Now, after hearing what Zuo Shaoyang said, he had reached a bottleneck, and asked, "What are the ways to break through the bottleneck?", "Go into the mountain to practice!" Zuo Shaoyang said with his beard and said, "I have said before that once a year, every month, and it must be hard practice." Only in order to break through the bottleneck.", "Go into the mountain to practice?", the emperor nodded slowly, "But there are many national affairs and we can't get out of it."

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "It's okay, anyway, the emperor practiced this technique just to cure the disease." Now that the disease has been cured, it doesn't matter if this technique has not progressed. It's not enough to live for a hundred years. Anyway, it should be fine if you live past 100 years."

"That won't work!" the emperor said anxiously, "I will go to the mountain to practice!" In the past, the emperor had the greatest desire for power, but after becoming an emperor for more than 20 years, "under the stability of imperial power, he reached old age, and his desire for prolonging life" gradually overshadowed the desire for imperial power. Although he could not live forever, it was already attractive enough to prolong life. Now he heard that if he did not break through this bottleneck, he would live a hundred years less than his life. Of course, the emperor was anxious.

Hearing that the emperor was going to practice with him in the mountains, this was the purpose of Zuo Shaoyang's trip. He wanted to find a grand excuse to avoid Wu Meiniang who had been chronically poisoned, so as not to seek treatment for Wu Meiniang. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just about the day to practice in the mountains. The emperor first practiced this supreme Taoist magic, and he had to practice in the mountains for a longer time to be effective." "How long will it take?" "Well, at least three months, preferably half a year!" The emperor thought for a while and said, "Okay! I will follow my senior brother to practice in the mountains for half a year!"

Judging from the development of Wu Meiniang's poisoning symptoms, Zuo Shaoyang estimated that Wu Meiniang would not live for three months. Therefore, he had to go to the mountain with him to practice for more than three months. Now the emperor took the initiative to practice for half a year, and he was even more happy. In this way, Wu Meiniang would definitely die.

Zuo Shaoyang twisted his beard and smiled, "You have to think about it. When you go into the mountains and practice, you are not traveling around. You can't have servants to serve you. You have to cook by yourself, build your own straw shed, hunt prey by yourself, and raise the fire to roast food by yourself. You can't bring anything else with you except a sword, a bow and arrow to change clothes, dry food, oil and salt cooking utensils! Everything can only be done by yourself, including me, we must practice separately, so that you will not instruct me to help you do things."

Li Shimin laughed to the sky: "This is a bit interesting, okay! I don't believe that I can't support myself!"

When Li Shimin was young, he had suffered a lot of hardships in the wind and rain, so he could not help but live in seclusion in the mountains.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "Okay, when will we leave?", "No need to delay, let's "..." Uh, no, we have to settle the state affairs first today, half a year is not short. I have to settle these things first. In addition, they will definitely search the mountains on Huashan and eliminate idle people. After these are processed, I'm afraid it will take about half a month to wait." Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "It's so troublesome, then the emperor will practice slowly in your back garden. I will enter the mountains myself." After that, he turned around and left.

"Wait! Senior brother." Li Shimin hurriedly said, "Then, I will ask the prince to temporarily take charge of the government affairs and settle the state affairs. Let's set off again tomorrow morning, okay?", "You can just announce it. How long will it take?" Zuo Shaoyang said lightly, "You want to practice Taoism and government affairs, and you can't take into account both. I said at the beginning that if a practitioner wants to achieve Taoism, you must be indifferent to fame and fortune. You are so squeamish, mother-in-law, you can't let go of it. What can you do when practicing Taoism? It's better to be your emperor seriously!",

"This..., hehe, senior brother, don't be angry. I really practice Taoism. In the past, I planned to let the prince participate in politics and help me manage state affairs so as to make time to practice. The senior brother would not allow it." "This time and then, I didn't know whether you were practicing Taoism sincerely or just to cure diseases. Over the past year, I saw that your heart of practicing Taoism was pious, so I asked you according to the Taoist practitioners. Now, whether you let the prince participate in politics or temporarily handle the government affairs, it depends on whether you want to practice Taoism sincerely or practice fun."

"Of course, I am sincere in practicing Taoism! Only when the prince helps me to manage state affairs can I concentrate on practicing Taoism!" Li Shimin has tasted the wonderfulness of this art of returning to the void and breathing technique to prolong life and nourish the body and mind in the past year. It is like a cat who tasted the fishy smell, so he is not willing to let go. Although the imperial power cannot be given up, it is OK to let my son help me to manage the daily affairs of the court.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Okay, make arrangements as soon as possible. Those who practice Taoism do not want their mother-in-law. You must know how to give up to get it. Do you understand?", "Yes!", the emperor bowed and said, "Then I am going to settle the matter, soon. Let's leave after that!", "Wait a minute, I have one more thing to tell you."

"Senior brother, please tell me."

"You have a talented man surnamed Wu, right?"

"Yes?" The emperor was a little surprised. He didn't know what Zuo Shaoyang was doing when he mentioned this matter.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Not long ago, I went to Ganye Temple to burn incense. This Wu Cairen happened to be ill. I cured her. She was very grateful and insisted on worshiping me as her adoptive father. I said this was inappropriate. I am the emperor's senior brother. You are the emperor's talent. If you worship me as your adoptive father, then I will be the emperor's generation. But she insisted on worshiping me, and I can't do anything about her. Hehe." The emperor smiled: "What's wrong? This kind of seniority cannot be calculated. Don't pay attention to so many clichés! We each calculate their own."
