When it was near the Dragon Boat Festival, wormwood and cattail grass were planted in the harem, and even the palace ladies hung little tigers and gourds wrapped with colored threads, and five-colored silk threads were tied around their wrists.Originally, there were dragon boat races in the North Sea near Miyagi, but because Emperor Jing'an's illness was not healed this year, the Empress also lost interest in watching the dragon boats, resulting in a lack of festive joy in the entire harem.

"The Immortal Master is still recuperating?" Emperor Jing'an leaned on the couch, his face was sallow, but there was a strange flush of red on his cheekbones, his hands twitched involuntarily from time to time while sitting there, even the corners of his eyebrows and eyes occasionally twitched.

"Yes." Qi Jun lowered his head slightly, "The Immortal Master exhausted his vitality to send the rain cloud into the deep sea, and he is still recuperating."

Emperor Jing'an frowned tightly: "How can I replenish the vitality of the immortal master?"

Qi Jun bowed his head and said nothing.In fact, since that day, he has had intercourse with Zhibai twice, and he doesn't know why the dragon energy on his body is so effective. Now Zhibai's face is rosy and lively, but he insists that he is still sick and shrinks every day. Can't come out in the observatory.

Emperor Jing'an looked around anxiously: "You guys, can you do something?"

The surrounding palace people all lowered their heads, and Emperor Jing'an slapped the little table next to him with a slap: "What use is it for me to support you!"

There was a continuous thump, all the palace people and even the imperial doctor fell to their knees, and a few young ones were already trembling with fright, but they didn't dare to cry.In the past few days, Emperor Jing'an had beaten to death several palace servants, even Wang Jin, who was the most important, received [-] boards, and is still lying on his stomach in the servant's room.

Emperor Jing'an didn't get a response from the palace people, so he stood up: "I personally went to see the immortal master in the star observatory, I want to ask, when can the immortal master take me to the moon palace again! These quack doctors, no One with real skills!" He became more and more angry, and waved his hand, "Drag and beat twenty sticks, drive him out of the palace and never use them again!"

The imperial doctor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Hitting twenty sticks can't kill a person, and never using it is much better than beheading.Naturally, on the surface, he still wanted to say Long live and spare his life, but he was dragged out honestly.

Emperor Jing'an turned his head irritably, his brow muscles twitched uncontrollably, and his hands twitched frequently, as if he had chicken feet.He struggled to stand up: "I'm going to ask the fairy master, if the fairy master can cure the queen, he can do it for me..." But the palace servants on both sides didn't come up to help him, and he didn't stand up for several times .

Qi Jun hurried over to support him, and felt that Emperor Jing'an's palms were hot and humid, but his face was dry without a drop of sweat, and his lips were a little chapped. His heart tightened, and he said in a low voice: "Father, the vitality of the immortal master has been depleted all day long. Deep sleep, the emperor is gone at this time..."

Emperor Jing'an casually grabbed the tea next to him, gulped down his stomach, and then said dejectedly: "Am I going to die? Immortal Master is sleeping right now and can't do anything for me. Could it be that my life is going to end here?"

Zhao Yue stepped out of the forbidden main hall for the first time since that day, and came to pay respects to Emperor Jing'an with Qi Jun. He was still a little dissatisfied at first, but now he heard Emperor Jing'an kept saying that he wanted to find Zhibai's method, but Qi Jun said that Zhibai's vitality was exhausted Sleeping all day long, my heart has sunk to the bottom.She didn't know how much trouble she had caused until now, if Emperor Jing'an knew that it was because of her interference in the practice, let alone whether she could still be a crown princess, she might lose her life.Her back was covered with cold sweat, and she stood there wishing to shrink herself so that she could not see, fearing that Qi Jun would tell about her trespassing on the observatory.

At this time, Qi Jun didn't think of Zhao Yue at all.The imperial doctor had already told him that Emperor Jing'an started taking the golden elixir again since he hadn't healed from the wind and cold last time. Although he discarded all the golden elixir after Ma Mingzi died, the wind and cold did not use medicine to clear it, but used scorched things to remove it. Suppression, now reversed, the disease will become serious.Ever since he entered the palace, Emperor Jing'an had almost poured down a pot of tea, which was obviously a sign of the metal, stone and sulfur being heated inside.As for the twitching of the muscles on the face with trembling hands, they were all poisoned by gold and stone.Thinking of what the old imperial physician said back then, Emperor Jing'an was afraid that the deadline would be approaching soon...

"Father is just unwell..." Qi Jun didn't know what to say.

"No——" Emperor Jing'an shook his head dejectedly, "Zhen Mingzi, he is rebellious! He, he has used fake golden pills to deceive me for many years..." He stood up holding Qi Jun's hand, and walked a few crooked steps, "And Mrs. Ye! It's this bitch who persuaded me to take the golden pill! Oh, I'm going to kill this bitch! Kill her!"

Zhao Yue shrank to the side in horror and looked at Emperor Jing'an.At this moment, Emperor Jing'an's face was bright red, as if there was a fire burning in his body, but his eyes were cloudy, and there was a young girl in front of him, and he bumped into it as if he couldn't see at all, if Qi Jun hadn't stretched his feet first Kick Xiaoji away, maybe he will be tripped over.A disrespectful thought flashed in Zhao Yue's mind—could the emperor be out of his mind?

But the queen immediately responded: "Mr. Ye really has ulterior motives, the emperor should kill her, just give her a white silk."

"White silk?" Emperor Jing'an turned to look at the queen as if he couldn't react, "You want to give Ye's white silk?"

"Father—" Qi Jun coughed softly, "There are still people in the Ye family who have soldiers and horses. If they don't give Ye's white silk without proof, I'm afraid they won't accept it..."

Emperor Jing'an didn't know if he heard his words, he just turned his cloudy eyes to look around, saw the cattail grass planted on the door, he seemed to wake up suddenly: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival." Qi Jun stopped the queen's unspoken words with his eyes, and supported Emperor Jing'an to sit down again.

"There will be a dragon boat race at the Dragon Boat Festival." Emperor Jing'an seemed to have really woken up after a while, turned to look at the queen and said, "I will take you to see the dragon boat."

Seeing him like this, the queen couldn't help but sighed: "Your Majesty will take his concubines to see the dragon boat after he recovers."

"I'm fine!" Emperor Jing'an became stubborn, "Tomorrow I will take you to see the dragon boat, everyone will go!"

The queen and him have been married for more than twenty years. Although things often go wrong, they are still young couples. Seeing him like this makes her feel uncomfortable, so she nodded in agreement with him and waited on him to rest before retreating. As soon as he arrived at the outer hall, he burst into tears and said, "Is there really nothing the immortal master can do?"

Zhao Yue lowered her head as low as she could.Qi Jun sighed lightly and did not speak.The queen wiped away her tears and thought of Concubine Ye Gui again: "Just now the emperor wanted to kill that bitch, how did you stop him?"

"Empress mother, how can you kill her without a crime?" Qi Jun said patiently, "Father just said this in a moment of impatience. If you kill her today, what should you do if you regret it in the future? She is a woman. What kind of disturbance can be caused by falling out of favor now? Even if she is to die, it must be justified."

The queen refused to accept it and said: "Your father has already said that she persuaded your father to take the golden elixir. How is this not a crime?"

"But Zhen Mingzi was recommended by the Ye family. If the Ye family is killed on the charge of Zhen Mingzi, will the Ye family also be offended? The Ye family still holds military power in the southeast, and it is not a good time to punish the Ye family. "

If it was in the past, the queen would have to refute again, but now that Qi Jun is becoming more and more majestic, in the eyes of the queen, her son is no longer the handsome boy he used to be, and he seems to have a bit of an imperial demeanor. .Qi Jun sent her back to Zichen Hall and said, "Go to the Star Observatory."

Zhao Yue has been following him silently, and after hearing this, she secretly glanced at him in fear, but seeing that Qi Jun never looked at her, and left with Feng En, she immediately let out a sigh of relief, and said to the palace man beside her: " Go back to the East Palace." Emperor Jing'an also wanted to take the golden elixir by himself at the beginning, but now that he found out that the elixir was not good, he wanted to kill Concubine Ye Gui. What's the end?

The observatory was still quiet, Qi Jun entered the inner hall, and saw a bamboo couch under the window, Zhibai was sleeping on it like a big cat, his little face was flushed by the sun, if If an outsider saw him, how could he believe that his vitality was greatly damaged?

"Your Highness?" Zhibai lazily opened his eyes, and was immediately happy when he saw him, "When did Your Highness come?"

"It's just coming in." Qi Jun sat down beside the couch, "How are you feeling today?"

This is already a routine question every day, Zhibai grinned: "It's much better, but—" He stretched out his hand and grabbed Qi Jun's clothes with a smile, "If the double cultivation benefits, it will naturally be even greater."

Qi Jun couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't have the mood of double cultivation now, not to mention Zhibai's appearance, he clearly regarded him as the same thing as Xingtie, Zhanlu or Shooting Sun Arrowhead.He was about to lower his face, but felt reluctant, so he gave a dry cough and changed the topic: "Father's illness is getting worse, and today I asked, when will you take him to the Moon Palace again..."

Zhibai climbed onto his lap to rest on his pillow, and said absent-mindedly: "Even if your majesty is blessed, you will only go to the Moon Palace once in this life. If you want to go again, I will be powerless. Besides, your majesty's life expectancy is only about a few days. It's day."

Qi Jun's complexion changed drastically: "Just in these few days?" He also knew that Emperor Jing'an looked at his life span, but he always felt that there was at least a year and a half left, so why are there only a few days left!He wanted to ask Zhibai if he could do something for Emperor Jing'an like he did to prolong the life of the empress, but he swallowed the words again.

Zhibai didn't understand his complicated emotions at all, so he tore his clothes and played around them, casually said: "Your Majesty has a lot of blessings in this life, and you can enjoy all the glory without any worries in your life. It’s just a little bit, how can anyone be perfect?”

Qi Jun looked at him with complicated eyes, and said after a long while: "You always understate any important matter in your mouth, saying that human life is the most precious, but I think you treat it like nothing."

Zhibai took it for granted: "Human life is not precious in the first place. All things are equal. Since they are equal, how can there be distinctions between high and low? What's more, the longevity is determined by heaven and cannot be changed by manpower."

Qi Jun retorted: "What about my fate?"

Zhibai was dumb for a moment, and after a while he stammered: "His Royal Highness's fate... I'm not good at reading, so I must have misread it."

Qi Jun slapped his ass dumbfoundedly: "Nonsense!"

Zhibai hit the snake with the stick, took his hand and wrapped it around him with a smile: "Your Highness—"

As soon as he dragged his tone, it was softly wrapped around Qi Jun's heart like a thread.Qi Jun could only smile wryly: "It's still in the daytime..." Even Emperor Jing'an would be taboo about prostitution during the daytime, but Zhibai didn't care at all.

Zhibai didn't care about being rejected, he tugged on his sleeve and giggled: "Then will your Highness come down that night?"

Qi Jun's expression was a little distorted.It is really hard for him to accept that the dignified prince is used as a good medicine, but the taste of double cultivation with knowledge and whiteness is really good, even if he is not a person who is addicted to sensuality, his heart shakes a little when he thinks about it.What's more, after having sex for several times, he also felt that he was more energetic than before. Could it be that this double practice is not only beneficial to Zhibai, but also beneficial to him?

"I'll just have dinner here." Qi Jun gritted his teeth and slapped Zhibai's butt, "You—" I'm afraid that's what fairies are like?It makes people love and can't wait but can't refuse.Emperor Jing'an was seriously ill over there, but here he is greedy for sex, really...

Zhibai rubbed against his leg, narrowed his eyes like a cat, and was about to fall asleep again.Qi Jun couldn't help rubbing the hand on his buttocks lightly, and said in a low voice for a while: "Is there really no other way?"

Zhibai yawned: "A doctor heals a disease but not a life, and a Taoist is just ordinary. He can save his life, but he cannot change his life. If His Highness really wants to prolong His Majesty's life, it can't be the same as when he saved his life for the empress. If your majesty prolongs your life, some people will want to shorten your life." He opened his eyes and looked at Qi Jun, "It's not for everyone, if there is no one who matches your majesty's zodiac, then only your own children can do it. "

Qi Jun blurted out: "Qi Zhang——"

Zhibai shook his head: "The Second Highness is thousands of miles away, but it can't be done. You need someone in front of you to do it."

Qi Jun was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly.If he was asked to give his lifespan to Emperor Jing'an, he was unwilling, but Qizhang became a vassal, even if he wanted to exchange his lifespan, it would not work.If he hadn't urged Qi Zhang to join the feudal clan so quickly, he could force him to change his life under the excuse that only Qi Zhang's horoscope coincides with Emperor Jing'an. If Qi Zhang refused, there would be an unfilial hat waiting for him, and Qi Zhang said goodbye It's hard to say whether you can live if you get a rich fief; if Qizhang is willing, that's even more unnecessary.It can be seen that there are causes and effects in this world. At that time, he was happy to force Qi Zhang out of the capital, but now he can only watch better opportunities slip away.

"That's all." Qi Jun shook off his chaotic thoughts, lowered his head and touched Zhibai's face, "Then you can stay in the room for a few more days, and you must not let Father know that you are safe."

Emperor Jing'an said that he was going to see the dragon boat, which turned out to be true. He got up early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, and sent a decree for all the concubines and concubines above the fifth grade in the palace to go with him. The emperor and empress brought a dozen The concubines, together with the people from the East Palace, together with the servants of the palace, there were nearly a hundred people, and they went straight to the North Sea.

Beihai is said to be a sea, but it is just a lake, but it is so big that it is not a problem for five or six dragon boats to compete in the same field.Several building boats had been prepared by the lake for Emperor Jing'an to board and watch.The boat is very tall, from the viewing deck to the water surface is several feet high, standing on it can have a panoramic view of the lake.

Emperor Jing'an seemed to be in high spirits, his sallow face glowed red.A few younger concubines didn't know how powerful they were, and came forward to flatter them one after another, which was very lively for a while.Concubine Ye Gui hadn't seen Emperor Jing'an for a few days, this time Emperor Jing'an was seriously ill, firstly, the Empress tightly held the matter of serving her sick, and she was not allowed to go at all, secondly, she heard that Emperor Jing'an treated Zhen Mingzi's golden pill She was furious, she didn't dare to go up, finally came out to watch the dragon boat today, she carefully dressed up, came gracefully, didn't talk much, just stood beside Emperor Jing'an.Because she is a noble concubine, other than the queen, she is the only concubine, and the young concubines did not dare to compete with her for the position. Even though Emperor Jing'an didn't look at her more, they had to let her stand in the closest position to Emperor Jing'an.

Five dragon boats were lined up on the lake, and Emperor Jing'an took a wooden stick wrapped in red silk and hit the gong hanging on the building boat, and all the oars flew together, vying to get up first.

Seeing that the finish line was approaching, two dragon boats were almost advancing side by side, and the concubines stood up excitedly to watch. Emperor Jing'an also became interested, and walked to the side of the building boat, leaning on the fence around the deck to look around.Seeing him so happy, the concubines even laughed and shouted. Emperor Jing'an still felt the excitement at first, but later he felt the noise in his ears was unbearable. In addition, it was almost noon and the sun was shining hot on his body. Some dizziness, throbbing pain in both temples, and a little weakness in both legs.He reluctantly raised one hand, wanting to turn around to make everyone quieter, but at this moment, the building boat swayed lightly, Emperor Jing'an became dizzy, and the whole person threw himself on the fence and fell down.

The screams of the young concubines immediately exploded on the upper boat, and everyone watched Jing'an Emperor overturned from the boat and fell into the water, causing huge splashes.The few concubines who were following him just now backed away again and again, one of them was quick-witted, raised his hand and pointed at Concubine Ye Gui and screamed: "It was you, it was you who pushed His Majesty into the water!"

Concubine Ye Gui's face changed drastically: "Nonsense!" She was indeed very close to Emperor Jing'an, but she never squeezed past him.

"Pull her down!" The queen had been sitting on the chair, and stood up abruptly at this moment, "lock it up first, and then deal with it after saving His Majesty!"

The two palace servants immediately pulled Concubine Ye Gui into the cabin, the upper and lower floors of the boat were already in chaos, the middlemen and guards who knew how to swim jumped into the water one after another, but Emperor Jing'an's face was already purple when he was picked up, The imperial doctor who rushed over after hearing the news worked for a while, and finally raised his head tremblingly to report to the queen: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has gone..."
