"Brat, how dare you joke around with His Majesty's life!”
"If something happens to His Majesty, you must kill this kid's entire family!”
"This brat is ruining the country!”
Not long after Xiao Rui gave the Emperor a pill, the Emperor fell asleep. Xiao Rui and the others also went to the side hall to wait. While waiting, those imperial physicians naturally wouldn't be idle, and kept talking bad about Xiao Rui.
Hearing the words of these imperial physicians, Xiao Rui's master Ling Lingfa was a little nervous. Although this disciple of his had been creating miracles, this matter was too big.
"Don't worry, Master. It'll be fine!”Xiao Rui smiled at Ling Ling and continued to close his eyes, circulating his internal energy.
The Art of Longevity had another advantage. It was a self-cultivation technique, so he was not constrained by the situation. He could use this internal energy whenever he wanted. He could sit, stand, or walk. Moreover, he did not have to worry about the problem of Qi deviation.
Of course, the amount of internal energy that could be increased every day was still limited, but Xiao Rui was still fumbling.
After staying in this side hall for about four hours, which was four hours, the little eunuch beside the Emperor walked into the side hall with a strange expression. Then, he quietly came to Xiao Rui's side. Under the surprised gazes of others, the little eunuch whispered something into Xiao Rui's ear, and Xiao Rui left with him.
Under the puzzled gazes of these people, Xiao Rui returned to the main hall.
At this time, the originally sick Emperor had already gotten out of bed. Although his face was still pale, his complexion was much better. Most importantly, there was a faint trace of sweat on his forehead.
"Hu, Yunfeng, you really gave me another surprise. He even knows the art of medicinal pills? What did you feed me? Immortal pills?" Seeing Xiao Rui walk away, the Emperor looked at Xiao Rui happily and asked excitedly.
" What immortal pill? I've never seen an immortal pill in this world…I gave you a bowl of mud…" Xiao Rui waved his hand casually at the Emperor and walked directly to the Emperor's bed. Then, he casually sat down on a chair.
The servants who served the Emperor had seen this scene many times, and no one would make a fuss about it.
"What game?" Hearing Xiao Rui's words, the Emperor was even more confused.
"It's after using rice juice and sweet potato juice to cultivate Penicillum…Forget it, you won't understand anyway.”Looking at the Emperor's strong desire for knowledge, Xiao Rui also said a few simple words. However, after saying a few words, the Emperor was stunned. He did not know what Xiao Rui was talking about, so Xiao Rui was too lazy to waste his breath.
What he had just fed the Emperor was actually penicillin, which he had made using a traditional method. It was very troublesome. He needed to first use rice juice and sweet potato juice as the culture fluid, then transplant the penicillins over for a week to see if they were dead. Then, he had to filter them, crush them, add oil, and distill them. Then, he had to use the urine from his pee and dilute them again. Then, he had to wait for seven days. Even so, the success rate was very low.
Xiao Rui had been preparing this thing since he transmigrated, but he only had a few dozen pills. This was something that was really used to save his life.
"Alright, even if I don't understand, it's fine if you leave some for me, right?”Looking at Xiao Rui's disdainful eyes, the Emperor didn't mind and still said with a smile.
"I'll leave some for you. You have to take it for a few more days in the next few days. But let me tell you, this medicine is really expensive. I can only make a few pills a year.”Looking at the Emperor's appearance, Xiao Rui also took out the small medicine box from his body. There were a total of six pills inside. Now that the Emperor had eaten one pill, there were still five pills left. It should be enough to cure his pneumonias.
"Your Majesty, don't you feel that something is wrong with your illness this time?”Xiao Rui couldn't help but look at the Emperor and say as he watched the Emperor put away the medicine with a smile.
"It's indeed not right. Why did that treasured ship sink after I got on it?”Hearing Xiao Rui's words, the Emperor put down the medicine box and said with a serious face.
"Not only that, think about it, you were just about to implement the business tax, and then your ship sank. Moreover, I feel that these imperial physicians are not very reliable…Do you still remember what I said to you?”Looking at the Emperor, Xiao Rui said solemnly.
"Giant merchants without a country?" Hearing Xiao Rui say this, the Emperor also felt that something was not quite right, so he asked Xiao Rui tentatively.
"Who did you entrust the matter of implementing the business tax to?”Nodding his head, Xiao Rui continued to ask the Emperor.
"It was given to Cao Zhengchun of the East Military Department.”As for Ah Rui, the Emperor trusted him very much and directly told Xiao Rui.
" That's right. Cao Zhengchun is a gang of eunuchs in the eyes of those people, a gang of evil. They collect business taxes, which is almost like cutting off the flesh of these people. The reason why the eunuchs can run amok is because they have the favor of you, the emperor. They know that if they touch Cao Zhengchun, there will be Zhang Zhengchun, Li Zhengchun, and Wang Zhengchun. So the only way for them to keep their cake is..." Xiao Rui clapped his hands and nodded. It was very likely that it was because of the business tax.
"Change the emperor!" Although Xiao Rui didn't say the last sentence, the Emperor had already thought it through. Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
Don't look at this Emperor. He was usually laughing and joking and had a good relationship with Xiao Rui. That was because he knew that Xiao Rui was lazy and had no ambition. At most, Xiao Rui would become a treacherous official. Moreover, this treacherous official was beneficial to the country and the people. He could also help him earn money to relieve his boredom. How could he not believe in such a treacherous official?
However, if Xiao Rui became interested in the position he was in in the future, he would probably choose the imperial power directly between the imperial power and his friends. Xiao Rui naturally knew this, so he would not touch these bottom lines.
Coming from the 21st century, he really did not have much interest in being an emperor.
After the Emperor finished speaking, there was a period of silence in the Qianqing Palace.
At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly ran over and whispered something into the head eunuch's ear. The head eunuch's expression changed drastically and he walked in front of Xiao Rui and the Emperor in a panic.
"I just received news that Guo Zhen, who was in charge of supervising the construction of the treasured ship, is dead!”
He didn't tell this news to the Emperor, but also to Xiao Rui, because he had just heard that these two people seemed to be discussing this matter.
The moment he heard that Guo Zhen was dead, the Emperor's eyes lit up. Sure enough, Xiao Rui had guessed correctly that there was definitely a problem!
"Yunfeng, the only people I can trust now are you and the Dragon Guardians. However, you also know that your three martial uncles are all martial artists. It's fine to let them fight and gather information, but the investigation will depend on you!”Taking a deep breath, the Emperor looked at Xiao Rui and said with a tired face. Hearing the Emperor's words, Xiao Rui grinned. Investigating the case was very troublesome. He did not want to investigate. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Ding! The Imperial Secret Service System has detected a mission: [Find out the truth. Reward for success: One random draw. Punishment for failure: None."
