Chapter 201: The Pill is Complete and Has Been Submitted
Before Zhang Mingde arrived in Beijing, Yinreng received another message, "The elixir is ready, I have taken it." Seeing the first four words on the note slowly dissipating and finally disappearing with the passage of time, the smile on Yinreng's face gradually spread across his entire face.
"Next, it depends on which of us two has the better chess skills. I really want to see what you will do now that you have no choice in this life."
A day ago, in the Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong, who had taken a pill, was being examined by Liang the Imperial Physician. Half an hour later, Liang Jiugong's condition not only did not get worse, but it could be clearly felt that there had been some adjustments and improvements.
It was obvious that Liang Jiugong, who had not had a good rest for a few days, began to feel more energetic. Not only that, the rumbling in his stomach was almost forming a symphony.
Kangxi waved his hand and served a large bucket of rice and several dishes. Then, under the stunned observation of everyone, Liang Jiugong not only finished the entire bucket of rice, but also sucked up the dishes clean.
This was enough for two or three big men to eat, but Liang Jiugong finished it all by himself, and judging from his expression, he still looked unsatisfied.
Imperial Physician Liang quickly stepped forward to take the man's pulse, and the result was that everything was normal. No, he didn't look like a middle-aged man in his forties at all. Instead, he looked more like a few years younger. All his body functions had improved compared to before. Not only that, the fatigue from not getting enough rest in the past few days had now disappeared.
Kangxi was excited. It seemed that the medicine was completely effective. The saint girl was also half dead and just hanging on to her last breath. However, after taking the pill, she was almost healed.
But later, her case was almost fully investigated, so there was no need to keep her, so they killed her directly.
This time it was different. The one testing the medicine was Liang Jiugong, his most trusted personal eunuch. Plus, Liang Jiugong's physical condition was known best to him as his master, so he naturally knew clearly what magical effects the elixir would have.
At this moment, Liang Jiugong's face changed slightly, causing Liang Yuyi, who had been observing him, to shudder: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but as soon as he started talking, Kangxi became nervous. He waved his hand and the secret guards were in position. As long as there was any problem with Liang Jiugong, Master Dejia would be beheaded the next moment.
Liang Jiugong was also frightened by the serious expressions of the two people in front of him, and explained repeatedly: "No, no, it's nothing serious, I just feel a little itchy on the scar on my chest."
Liang Imperial Physician's eyes moved slightly: "Please, sir, unbutton your shirt."
He had also examined Liang Jiugong's injuries back then, and many of the medicines were prescribed by himself. Six years had passed, and the wounds should have healed long ago, leaving nothing but scars. Why was he itching now?
Knowing that this was a critical moment, Liang Jiugong did not dare to delay and quickly took off his outer shirt, then his inner clothes, until what was finally presented in front of the two people was his bare upper body with a round scar on his chest.
Imperial Physician Liang walked up to Liang Jiugong and tapped the flesh near Liang Jiugong's scar with his finger: "Does it itch here?"
"No." "What about here?" "No either." Finally, Imperial Physician Liang pointed his finger at the scar: "It's here!"
Liang Jiugong nodded. "It's here. It feels like there are little ants gnawing at it. It's tingling and itchy. I want to reach out and scratch it, but I feel like the itch isn't on my skin. Imperial Physician, has my family been poisoned? I won't live long."
Seeing Liang Jiugong starting to panic and have wild thoughts in front of him, Imperial Physician Liang laughed heartily. "So there's something you're afraid of, Eunuch Liang! Don't worry, it's not bad news. The elixir must be starting to work. I felt it had a healing effect when I took your pulse earlier, and now hearing your description, I'm even more certain of it. The itchiness you're feeling is probably new flesh growing inside. In other words, the scar on your chest should be slowly healing now, and when the time comes, it should be completely gone."
"Really?" "Really!" Two voices rang out simultaneously. Imperial Physician Liang bowed to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, the elixir is currently repairing Eunuch Liang's hidden illness. Based on the current progress, he should be fully recovered in a year or two. However, one elixir alone won't be enough; you'll need to take at least one every month. Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the success of the miraculous elixir."
These words made Kangxi feel warm in his heart: "Hahaha, I am the true dragon emperor, this magic pill should be mine." Thinking of this, Kangxi looked at the two remaining pills in the box with fiery eyes. Under the watchful eyes of Liang the imperial physician, he raised his head and took a pill.
A cup of tea, a quarter of an hour, and still no feeling. But after two quarters of an hour, Kangxi suddenly felt his body begin to heat up, and tiny beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. At the same time, Kangxi could also feel his energy gradually increasing. It is no exaggeration to say that if he practiced Kubu again now, he felt that he could practice for an hour without stopping.
Thinking of this, Kangxi extended his hand to the imperial physician Liang. After another round of diagnosis and treatment, everything was normal without any side effects. Not only that, some of Kangxi's old illnesses from his early years seemed to have disappeared a little under the effect of the elixir.
Imperial Physician Liang felt a sense of wonder, yet at the same time, he was puzzled. Could there really be some magical medicine in this world? Did Qin Shi Huang's elixir of immortality really exist?
However, he was just thinking about this. Before he discovered the problem, if he spoiled the emperor's mood, he could be killed at will, even if he was the emperor's exclusive imperial physician.
After confirming that there was no problem, Kangxi took his guards to the inspection ground in the palace. The weapons there were complete and the venue was large enough. When Kangxi arrived, the young princes and grandchildren were taking martial arts classes. When they saw the emperor coming, they all gathered around to pay their respects.
After Kangxi called out, he casually picked up a bow, bent it, and shot an arrow. "Swish!" The arrow hit the bull's eye. Immediately, "Wow!" sounds rang out one after another. Among this group of little rascals, Hongye and his friends were the most capable. Apart from them, the others' current archery skills only had an 80% to 90% chance of hitting the target, and only a 10% to 20% chance of hitting the bull's eye.
Now that the emperor has excellent archery skills right from the start, how can they not admire and envy him?
Hearing the genuine praise from the group of idiots around him, Kangxi was immediately excited. He pulled out two arrows from his quiver, and then, in front of everyone's astonished gazes, he hit the target with both arrows.
Next, under the admiring and praising gazes of everyone, the emperor performed one-handed archery, shooting at 20-meter targets, 50-meter targets, 100-meter targets, and fancy double arrows. Only after all the arrows in the quiver were shot did Kangxi end this show of skills with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
At the same time, he also felt the benefits that the elixir brought to his body. Normally, he would feel tired after shooting arrows for a while, but this time, even though his quiver was empty, he still felt unsatisfied and felt that he could shoot another round.
However, seeing that it was getting late, Kangxi happily rewarded the onlookers and returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He still had memorials to review. Although he was now in good health and had a longer life, he still had to complete the tasks that an emperor should do.
That night, within the confines of the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi favored four women. The noise within the chambers died down only as daylight approached. Outside, Liang Jiugong's expression shifted from surprise and horror to numbness. He couldn't help but glance toward the Prince Chenyuan's residence outside the palace, muttering to himself, "Really impressive." As for who this impressive reference was, it's a matter of opinion.
