There are two wintersweet trees planted in his yard. As the weather has become colder in the past few days, the buds have sprouted on the branches, and they look about to bloom. It is very cute.
Although Taoist Yiqing has white hair, he is not afraid of the severe cold. In the center of the courtyard, there is a table, which is covered with high-quality rice paper.
The visits of Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang did not make Taoist Yiqing stop what he was doing.
He made a few more vague strokes, then put the pen down and lifted the paper.
Drawn on the paper is a picture of wintersweet in bud.
The servant waiting aside silently took the painting away and waited for it to dry before putting it away.
Taoist Yiqing said to the servant: "Rushuang likes wintersweet, so there is no need to express it. Just let her take it back together with her."
Taoist Yiqing has long been famous in Daqi, but even though many people have crossed the threshold, even if they are willing to spend a lot of money, they may not be able to get one of his paintings.
At this moment, he happily gave the newly painted painting to Qin Rushuang, and Qin Rushuang naturally responded with a smile.
"Your Majesty and I originally had something to ask for. We came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Instead, you spent a lot of money."
Taoist Yiqing clasped his hands behind his back and motioned to the servant to put all the things away. Then he raised his head and asked, "Are you here to ask for a name for the child?"
Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang looked at each other.
Since Taoist Yiqing had already guessed the purpose of his visit, Xie Xun was not polite. He cupped his hands and said to Taoist Yiqing, "Master, please give me your name."
Taoist Yiqing glanced at him angrily: "When I accepted you as a disciple, you were only interested in the art of war and were unwilling to let you learn anything else. Now, you have to ask me to name your child.
Here comes this outsider."
Xie Xun smiled and said: "Master is not an outsider, he is a family member."
These words pleased Taoist Yiqing very well, and he signaled to the servant: "Bring the things up."
The servant followed the order and quickly brought a brocade box.
In the brocade box, a piece of red paper inlaid with gold foil was revealed. After opening it, there were three vigorous and powerful words inside.
Xie Yunlin.
"I've already picked it up for you, take it."
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows, staring at the word "lin" for a long time and unable to move away.
"Master, does the word "lin" go a bit too far?"
As he said this, his eyes could not be more satisfied.
Taoist Yiqing smiled and said, "It's just the character Lin. This kid has a good horoscope and a good destiny. He can afford this character."
Hearing what Taoist Yiqing said, Xie Xun relaxed and looked at Qin Rushuang.
"I originally thought you asked Qian Ertong and my father to say that this child has good horoscopes, and I thought it was..."
Qin Rushuang was a little amused: "This child was born under my master's watch, and his horoscope was approved by my master. Do I have to lie to others?"
"Besides..."
Qin Rushuang paused: "He is your father after all. If the baby's first birthday party can be a happy occasion for him, why wouldn't I be willing?"
Xie Xun felt soft.
Qin Rushuang is like this, she can always distinguish between personal grudges and justice. She has the ability to plan for herself and fight back against those she hates, but she shows excellent education in some things.
It's really hard not to be moved.
"Okay, my eyes are almost clinging to my body."
Taoist Yiqing made a rare joke.
Finally, the two of them left the courtyard with the painting given by Taoist Yiqing and the name of the child.
On the way back home, Xie Xun was a little silent.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Rushuang asked.
Xie Xun shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking that the child's name is a bit ostentatious. Will it be like the way I was favored by my master when I was a child? Because of this name, he..."
"Your Majesty." Qin Rushuang interrupted him.
"Are you planning to take another concubine? Or are you planning to take a few concubines in the future and then dote on them and destroy your wife?"
Xie Xun said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, where do I mean this?"
"Isn't that okay? I am the royal concubine, and the baby is the eldest son. No one can touch him, even if..."
Qin Rushuang paused and said calmly: "Even if the prince has other children in the future, as long as he is not confused, this child will have a smooth life."
"Absolutely not!"
Xie Xun almost swore to heaven that he wanted to spend his whole life making up for the mother and son. How could he have another woman and child like Qin Rushuang said?
Even if there are children in the future, it will be theirs...
Xie Xun glanced at Qin Rushuang, whose expression was calm, and silently buried the following thought in his heart.
Although it seems unlikely now...
But people must have pursuits. Hmm.
Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang solved a major issue on their minds. On the other hand, Xie Yang finally made up his mind to attack Emperor Qi.
Daochang Liu personally handed the prepared elixir to Xie Yang.
"Your Majesty, the thing is here. Remember, after taking it, you must let the little one go in to detoxify it within half an hour! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Xie Yang nodded and said, "I understand, I will enter the palace later. Just wait at the entrance of the palace. When the king's people send a message to let you in, you can come in immediately."
Daochang Liu nodded.
So the two of them rushed to the palace.
Xie Yang took the elixir outside the palace.
It was almost dark at this time. The eunuch was standing outside the palace. When he saw Xie Yang coming, he quickly came up to say hello.
"How come the fourth prince has time to come here?"
"I have come to see my father. How is my father doing? Are you taking good medicine these days?"
The eldest eunuch sighed, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has become increasingly unwilling to drink the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Hospital these days. He is only willing to take some of the pills sent by Taoist Liu, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Yang knew what he meant.
Emperor Qi's life was approaching, and the elixirs prepared by Liu Daozhang were no longer effective.
But that’s fine too.
Xie Yang's eyes darkened.
If this were not the case, he would still be afraid of not knowing how long it would take for his father to take this new elixir.
Since my father no longer trusts the Taiyuan Hospital, as long as the elixir is presented and said to be the latest developed by Daochang Liu, my father will definitely take it eagerly.
He had already thought of a plan on how to frame Qian Ertong to frame the case.
Xie Yang's eyes moved around in circles and he said to the eunuch, "Daozhang Liu has developed a new elixir, which is of great benefit to my father's health. The medicine is here."
His voice changed to a sad look, "I'm afraid that my father will lose his temper and not want to take this elixir."
"This elixir is definitely effective. I also ask my father-in-law to quickly persuade my father to take it. If he is not willing, then let the people around my father who can speak well coax him to take it."
Xie Yang's words were a hint to the eunuch to ask Qian Ertong to personally persuade Emperor Qi to take these pills.
But when he handed the elixir to the eunuch, the eunuch bumped the box in his hand, his eyes dim and unclear.
How could he not know about the intrigue between Xie Yang and Daochang Liu?
But who cares, as long as this elixir can temporarily improve Emperor Qi's health, who cares whether it will cause harm to his body later?
Ever since Qian Ertong gained the favor of Emperor Qi, he had less and less say in front of Emperor Qi...
Thinking like this, the eunuch looked at the box in his hand again and walked to Emperor Qi's bed.
"Your Majesty, the fourth prince ordered Daochang Liu to develop a new elixir, which will be of great benefit to your body. Let my servant serve you and take the medicine..."
