83. Fudge the old emperor 02
Baili Xixi and her group walked to the entrance of the study room. The eunuch went in and informed him. Baili Xixi took care of the hem of her clothes. Rong Qian was actually thinking of it for a long time.
Which prince who survived the palace battle is a fool?
Soon the eunuch spread the news that Baili Xixi and Rong Qian went in. After the salute, the emperor ignored Baili Xixi. He first asked Rong Qian if he had heard of it. The reason why King Xirong did not attend King Dongrong's wedding yesterday was not because he was sick, but because he had overslept on the concubine's bed?
Rong Qian still looked gentle, "Father, I have never heard of this."
The emperor kept staring at Rong Qian, but Rong Qian still did not change his words.
Rong Qian asked, "The father didn't know where this was a rumor. The five brothers and brothers were in love. How could the third prince not attend the wedding of the eldest prince because of that kind?"
The emperor did not tell Rong Qian where he heard it, he just said, "Since you haven't heard it, forget it."
After saying that, the emperor said again: "Although it is a rumor, it is also because of King Xirong's inattentiveness. King Xirong is the prince, and every move, Rongguo watched him. He was sick the night before his eldest brother's wedding. It was really..."
The emperor shook his head and said helplessly: "Qian'er, go to the Xirong Palace and tell you the third emperor that since you are sick, you can rest more. I will allow him not to attend court for a month."
When I went to court for one month, I changed my direction and expelled King Xirong from the court. Although it was only one month, it was enough to do something.
Baili Xixi glanced at the Dragon Emperor. The sixty-five-year-old emperor, as Yiduo said, looked only fifty years old on the surface, but he was very energetic and his hair was only half white.
Baili Xixi just glanced at the emperor's appearance, and what she cared about was the emperor's slightly trembling hands.
The emperor's hands trembled very slightly, and because the emperor placed his hands in his wide sleeves, most people would not notice it at all.
Baili Xixi noticed that the emperor's hands were shaking because she smelled the smell of lead, mercury, lead, and mercury from the emperor's body, and it was mixed with a medicinal smell. Baili Xixi was not sure at first that it was lead, mercury, but when she saw the emperor's slightly trembling hands, she confirmed that it was lead, mercury was correct.
Lead, mercury, and poisonous. People who take it frequently have mild poisoning, tremble with their hands like the emperor, and those who suffer from deep poisoning are directly killed.
Baili Xixi had the first idea - someone poisoned the emperor, but Baili Xixi abandoned this idea the next second. The cosmetics used by women in Rongguo contain a small amount of lead and mercury, and some porcelains are also found. This is not the 21st century with advanced technology. They do not know that lead and mercury are poisonous, and they do not have exquisite instruments and cannot extract lead and mercury.
Baili Xixi couldn't help but think that in order to survive, the ancient Chinese emperors would eat some elixirs. These elixirs would make the eaters' spirits grow longer and restore their youthful vitality in a short period of time, but without exception, elixirs containing lead and mercury would consume the eaters' lives.
Some people counted that there were as many as fourteen emperors in Chinese history who died of elixirs after practicing and eating elixirs. Baili Xixi remembered that Yiduo said that the emperors of Rong Kingdom believed in Taoism and pursued immortality.
Baili Xixi glanced at the emperor secretly. Her eyes were pointed and she saw the jade pendant carved into a Buddha-shaped shape on the emperor's waist.
Baili Xixi has already confirmed that the emperor is eating elixirs and pursuing immortality.
