Wu Shun is nominally Li Ke's wife and sister, but in fact she is Li Ke's woman. From Wu Shun's perspective, she doesn't care much whether Li Shimin takes the medicine or not. She only cares about Li Ke.

For Wu Shun, Li Ke was her reliance on the rest of her life. As long as Li Ke's reserve position is stable and as long as Li Ke can successfully inherit the throne in the future, the wealth of the entire Wu family, including the Wuchuan Marquis' Mansion, can be safe and even ascend to the sky in one step.

Wu Shun's words are not wrong. Li Ke should not ask about this matter. Once the question is over, under the instigation of someone who is interested, it seems that Li Ke dissuaded Li Shimin from taking medicine to inherit the throne as soon as possible, and he had ulterior motives.

Wu Shun's words were not nice, but after Li Ke heard it, Li Ke also knew the sensitivity of the matter, so Li Ke would not argue with Li Shimin again on the surface, at most he could only make indirect attacks. However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. As the prince, Li Ke could not avoid some things.

On the 10th year of Zhenguan, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Li Ke entered the palace in the morning as usual, and reported to Li Shimin, but he saw someone in the Ganlu Palace that he did not want to see.

"My son Li Ke pays homage to his father." Li Ke strode into the inner hall and leans over to worship Li Shimin, who is in the upper head.

"Ke'er gets up."

Seeing Li Ke enter the hall, Li Shimin first smiled and raised his hand, signaling Li Ke to get up, and then said to Li Ke: "Ke'er is here today, and I will introduce you to a master for your father."

In fact, just when Li Ke entered the hall, he saw a man standing on one side of the hall. The man was about thirty years old and wearing a black-green Taoist robe. He looked very energetic. Combined with Li Ke's recent actions, Li Shimin must be the master mentioned by Li Shimin.

As far as Li Ke knows, Li Shimin has met many so-called masters of Taoism these days, but none of them can satisfy Li Shimin. However, this person can be recognized by Li Shimin and introduced to Li Ke. It can be seen that this person still has two ways.

Li Ke pretended to be ignorant and asked, "I wonder which master is who actually asked his father to attach so much importance to it?"

Li Shimin led his hand to Cheng Gongying and said to Li Ke: "This Taoist priest from Ziyang Palace in Central Fujian, who was a master of Nanhua, and was a master of the world."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Cheng Gongying stepped forward slowly, pinched his fingers with one hand, and bowed to Li Ke indifferently and said, "I am Cheng Gongying, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Although Li Ke was not happy with such people, Li Shimin was still in high spirits after all, and Li Ke was not convenient to show it in front of Li Shimin.

Li Ke smiled and raised his hand and said, "The Taoist priest is a person outside the country. He does not accept common etiquette. Please get up quickly."

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's reaction and smiled a little more on his face. In the past few days, many court officials have made suggestions and advised Li Shimin not to believe in the way of prolonging life of elixirs. Li Shimin has already heard of his temper. Today, seeing Li Ke's attitude towards Cheng Gongying and a little respect, I believe he still agrees with this matter, so he naturally feels more relieved.

Li Shimin said to Li Ke: "This Taoist Cheng has obtained the true teachings of Nanhua, and can refine the immortal pill for the longevity."

When Li Ke heard this, he looked surprised and asked, "There are such treasures in the world?"

Li Shimin smiled at Cheng Gongying and said, "The prince has never seen any elixirs, please take it out and show it to the prince."

"promise."

Cheng Gongying responded, took out a wooden box from his sleeve, handed it to Li Ke, and said to Li Ke: "This is the pill that has been trained to drive away cold and strengthen the body and can prolong life. Please check it out."

Li Ke took the handed wooden box from Cheng Gongying. The wooden box was very exquisite. Li Ke was also a person who knew the goods. He recognized the wooden box at a glance, which was actually carved from good red sandalwood and emitted a faint fragrance. Just this small box was worth more than a hundred cents.

Li Ke slowly opened the wooden box, and the purpose was to lie in the box, a pill the size of a lychee core, the size of an ochre-colored pill.

Li Ke looked curious, picked up the pills and placed them on his nose and sniffed them gently. A herbal smell that Li Ke couldn't say, and a faint lime smell mixed with the herbal smell poured into Li Ke's nose. Li Ke almost coughed out after being choked.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's appearance and smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm not used to it when I first heard it. Although this pill smells pungent, it has very good effect. It's a bitter medicine."

Li Ke listened to Li Shimin's words and asked, "My father is so confident that the medical treatment is effective. Could it be that the father has taken the medicine?"

Li Shimin said: "Although my father has not taken it yet, some palace servants have tried it on their behalf. After taking the medicine, the lower abdomen generates heat, and then expands the whole body, the body becomes lighter, and the spirit is much better, which is exactly the same as the father's disease."

Li Shimin said that Li Ke did not know the reason why he was light and energetic after taking it, but Li Ke believed that among the so-called effects, the most attractive thing to Li Shimin must be the theory that the lower abdomen caused heat, because Li Shimin became very afraid of the chills since he got infected in Liaodong.

Li Ke could guess why this pill has this effect. This pill is mixed with a very small amount of lime. Taking this pill into the abdomen and then induced it with water will naturally cause fever in the abdomen. However, if this fever is not good, it will cause big problems. It is not hindered to take it one or two meals, but if it takes years, it will take your life.

However, Li Ke had no evidence of these remarks, so it was hard to say in front of Li Shimin. Li Ke calmly put the pills back into the box.

"I didn't expect that the small pill would have such an effect." Li Ke sighed in a proper way.

Li Shimin said: "With this pill, I will no longer avoid the cold outside the house. In a few days, it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. At that time, I will climb the Zhuque Gate and have fun with the people. Ke'er remembers to take the lord with you."

When Li Ke heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little more worried. Li Ke said, "Would the Father Emperor consider this? Sun Simiao specially reminded his father to avoid some cold winds."

It is early spring now, and there is still a little coldness in the morning and evening, not to mention that the walls of Zhuque Gate are too high and the wind is stronger, which is really unfavorable to Li Shimin's condition.

Li Kezhi was originally advising Li Shimin, but Li Shimin said after hearing this: "It's okay. In the past, there was no elixir, so it was naturally not suitable to climb high to avoid the cold. But now with this elixir, you don't need to avoid the cold for your father, so why not?"

Li Ke said: "It's better to be cautious about the dragon body of the father and emperor."

Li Shimin said: "Since I ascended the throne, I will climb the Zhuque Gate to enjoy the people every year on the Chinese New Year. This year is no exception. This is the rule."

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he would climb to the Vermillion Bird Gate every fifteenth day of the first lunar month and enjoy the lanterns with the people. Li Shimin is a strong-willed person. This habit has been continued for many years, so naturally he would not want to break this year.

Li Shimin said, but he didn't want Li Ke to be too worried, so he asked Cheng Gongying again: "What do Taoist priest think?"

Li Shimin's words have already reached this point, so Cheng Gongying naturally could not destroy his own position. Cheng Gongying had to reply: "Your Majesty will naturally be free from climbing up. You can rest assured about this matter."

Li Ke was already a little unhappy when he listened to Cheng Gongying's words. Li Shimin's physical relationship was very important, so Cheng Gongying dared to take risks as a gambling asset to gain wealth. It was really damn.

Li Ke had a thought in his mind and said to Li Shimin: "This is because my son is stupid. I didn't expect this medicine to have such an effect. Since the Taoist method of Ziyang Palace is so great, my son is just asking for something from his father."

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Ke replied: "In two months, there will be a Taoist event in the Hongwen Pavilion of the East Palace. At that time, many Taoist priests with advanced Taoism will come to the East Palace to attend the meeting and study Taoism carefully. I wonder if I can invite Taoist priest Cheng to come here to preach, and it will be passed down through the ages."
