If only Li Shimin and the others had taken the elixir, Lin Xuan wouldn't even bother to take care of it.
He was thinking about Li Lizhi. Historically, Li Lizhi only lived to be twenty-two years old. In addition to asthma, there was also heavy metal poisoning.
Even if I stop now and no longer take pills, the heavy metals in my body will still be there.
He could secretly find out about heavy metals for Li Lizhi, but if Li Shimin knew about it, would he not cause trouble for him?
In this case, it is better to treat it together.
Changsun Wuji didn't know whether what Lin Xuan said was true or not, but he had also taken a lot of pills. If what Lin Xuan said was true, he still wanted to count on Lin Xuan, so he didn't say anything more.
"Zichu, how should we treat that heavy metal you mentioned?" Li Shimin asked.
"To eat garlic, you only need to eat a few garlic bulbs every day."
The most common heavy metals in elixirs are lead and mercury.
Garlic has the best lead removal effect among all foods. There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "garlic has many benefits, but it only hurts one eye".
It means that garlic has many benefits for people. The only disadvantage is that eating too much is bad for your eyesight.
But to Li Shimin and others, this is nothing. Compared with the damage caused by heavy metals to the body, damage to eyesight is nothing.
"Is it that simple?"
Li Shimin and all the ministers were in disbelief.
Why did you talk about heavy metals so seriously, and finally told me that eating garlic would be enough.
"Of course it's more than that. In addition, you have to drink milk every day, whether it's cow's milk, goat's milk, horse's milk or whatever."
When it comes to removing mercury, carrots naturally have the best effect, but there are no carrots in Datang yet, at least Lin Xuan has never seen them.
However, dairy products also have the effect of excreting mercury, although it is not as good as carrots, but it is better than nothing.
There was no way. Although Lin Xuan knew the harm of heavy metals to the body, he had never studied medicine and did not know how to treat it.
Eating garlic and drinking milk can eliminate lead and mercury, thanks to the Internet.
"Is there anything else?" Li Shimin asked.
"No, that's all. Just eat some garlic and milk every day." Lin Xuan said.
"May I ask the Marquis of Jingyang County, how long do you need to eat garlic?" Fang Xuanling asked.
It's okay to drink milk, but your mouth will smell bad if you eat garlic.
Fang Xuanling's scalp felt numb as she thought about the disgusting looks in her eyes when she talked to others with the smell of garlic.
Who the hell do I know how long I should take it, and I have never been poisoned by heavy metals.
"If you eat it for three to five years, you'll probably be fine."
I don’t know how long it will take, so I’ll try to make it longer.
Lin Xuan wanted to eat it for the rest of his life, but he was afraid of being beaten to death by these people.
Li Shimin and others frowned when they heard that it would take three or four years.
From now on, when I talk to people, I smell like garlic, which makes me a little embarrassed just thinking about it.
"These are the only ways I know. It's up to everyone whether you want to eat or not."
Anyway, I have said everything I should say, whether you like to eat or not.
However, he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that Li Lizhi smelled like garlic whenever she spoke.
He decided to send some toothbrushes and toothpaste to Li Lizhi later.
No matter what, I can't embarrass my future wife.
Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and said, "You have heard it, go and prepare."
The Garlic Shangshan Bureau has it, and milk is easy to get. Following Li Shimin's order, a basket of garlic and milk was delivered to Ganlu Hall not long after.
Li Shimin and the ministers looked at the basket of garlic and hesitated.
An emperor, eating garlic with a group of princes and nobles, is a bit inconsistent when you think about it.
Lin Xuan didn't urge him, he just stayed aside quietly, waiting to eat.
"If you don't eat, I won't be polite."
Cheng Yaojin rolled up his sleeves, picked up a piece of garlic, and peeled it.
Someone took the lead, and the rest were not so embarrassed and picked up the garlic and peeled it off.
Lin Xuan wanted to laugh when he saw Li Shimin and a group of civil servants and generals crunching garlic.
It's a pity that Yan Liben is not here. If he had painted a painting and recorded it, his reputation would have been passed down through the ages.
But even if Yan Liben was here, he probably wouldn't dare to draw.
After all, this is not a glorious thing.
"Ahem~, you all should go back first, there's no need to leave," Li Shimin said.
So many people have eaten garlic. If they talk again, the scene will be unimaginable.
Li Shimin now just wants to send everyone away and have a good time talking.
Yes, it just so happens that we are also afraid of embarrassment.
Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin and others did not say anything, bowed their hands and retreated.
Lin Xuan followed the crowd out of the hall. Just when he wanted to say hello to Cheng Yaojin and the others, he saw them walking very fast as if they were being chased by ghosts.
Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head, and walked out of the palace unhurriedly.
Chang'an is still the same Chang'an, and nothing has changed because of what happened in the palace.
Lin Xuan returned home, took out a toothbrush and toothpaste from the treasure box, wrote down the instructions for using them, put them in a box, and asked Qiu Fu to send them to the palace.
Qiu Fu could not enter the palace, so he had to hand it over to the eunuch on duty at the palace gate.
Lin Xuan asked Li Mu to help deliver asthma medicine before, because he only had one bottle and he was worried about giving it to the little eunuchs.
Toothpaste and toothbrushes are nothing, but he still has a lot of them.
The little eunuch took the box, opened it, checked it, and found that there was no problem, so he had it sent to the inner palace.
The eunuchs in the inner palace knew that Li Lizhi was now in the Zhengdian Palace, so they arranged for someone to send him there.
Li Zhengdian
Li Shimin's sons and daughters who had taken elixirs were all summoned. Under Li Shimin's supervision, they ate garlic and drank milk.
"Father, it's so spicy." Li Zhi said with a bitter look on his face.
"You must eat spicy food. You must eat it every day. Anyone who dares to secretly avoid eating it will be punished by me."
This matter is related to physical health, and Li Shimin is not soft-hearted because Li Zhi is acting cute.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will supervise them." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
At this moment, Li Mu came in with a eunuch and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Jingyang County sent someone to deliver something to Princess Changle. Because Princess Changle is here, I sent it here."
Li Lizhi's face turned red, she looked at Li Mu holding the wooden box behind him, and then at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Let's go and have a look."
"Thank you, Father." Li Lizhi happily trotted over.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin felt a little sad for some reason. The daughter he had raised for so many years was about to become someone else's in less than a month.
Li Lizhi opened the wooden box and took out a toothbrush and toothpaste. She didn't know what they were for for a while, but soon she saw a note inside and opened it to read.
Li Zhi curiously took the toothpaste, squeezed it and said, "Sister Changle, is this for food?"
"No."
There were not many words on the note, so Li Lizhi quickly read it and understood the uses of toothpaste and toothbrush.
When Li Zhi heard that he couldn't eat it, he immediately lost interest.
Li Shimin looked at the toothbrush and toothpaste with some curiosity, and asked: "Li Zhi, what good thing has Lin Xuan given you again?"
"Father, this is for mouthwash. The Marquis of Jingyang County said that this toothpaste has a scent. After gargling with it, the mouth will no longer smell." Li Lizhi said.
