Chapter one thousand and fifty-six

"By the way, how is the emperor's body? There can be improvement. After Cao Hu'er sighed for a long time, he lowered his voice and asked the military advisor Zheng Sleeve.

The face of the military advisor Zheng Sleeve couldn't help but sink slightly, and he shook his head slightly. "The minister has found all the healers he can find, but none of them can remove the poison from the body of the Son of Heaven. Moreover, because the poisoning has been deep, the poison has already soaked into the internal organs, and now, he relies on the old ginseng to hang his life, but now looking at the situation, he is not optimistic at all, and the opinion given by those doctors is that there are only ten days left at most......

Hearing this, Cao Hu'er's brows couldn't help jumping, her hands clenched into fists, and she said a foul word viciously. "Strategist, you must try to ensure the life of that old fellow. He is the trump card that the Guards and Forbidden Army have always dared to defend and not attack. ”

"Lord, please rest assured, even if the old guy can't last long, as long as everyone thinks he's still alive, that's fine." The military advisor Zheng Sleeve took a deep breath and whispered to Cao Hu'er.

Cao Hu'er glanced at the military advisor Zheng Sleeve, pondered for a long time, and nodded vigorously. "Yes, that's true. Strategist, Lao Cao, I handed over the old emperor to you, don't let the news leak a little, and those other doctors ......"

Seeing Cao Hu'er's gaze, the military advisor Zheng Sleeve nodded. "Don't worry, the moment the old emperor breathes, that is, the death period of those doctors, the dead can't tell others that the old emperor is dead."

"Well, well, but you have to remember not to leak any rumors, eh...... Lao Cao, I will go to meet our Tang Emperor every three or five days in the future and listen to his teachings......" Cao Hu'er said with a yin smile.

"The lord is wise, in short, as long as we let our people think that His Majesty is still alive, then, whether it is Li Wenyou or Duan Guixiong's side, they can only be alive on the Son of Heaven and dare not easily launch any attack on our territory."

After Zheng Sleeve thought about it, he patted his head, and a new ghost idea came up. "It's best to look for it again, see if there is anyone who looks like His Majesty, and when you find it, let it pretend to be like him, so ......"

"Okay, just do it, then I, old Cao Ke, will entrust this matter to you." Cao Hu'er couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Don't worry, the lord will not disgrace his life." Zheng Sleeve got up and bowed deeply to Cao Hu'er, and then slowly left Cao Hu'er's mansion, went out of the mansion gate, and came to a heavily guarded small courtyard next to Cao Hu'er's mansion under the escort of a vote of personal soldiers.

The inside and outside of the small courtyard are guarded by the confidants and soldiers around the military advisor Zheng Sleeve, and when you enter the small courtyard, you can smell a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Zheng Sleeve couldn't help frowning, fanned the feather fan in his hand, and slowly walked inside.

And after the guards saw Zheng Sleeve's arrival, they first saluted the military advisor Zheng Sleeve very wisely, and then moved away from the courtyard a little bit so as not to disturb the master.

When I came to the house, I saw three old Chinese medicine doctors who were over 100 and a half years old holding a prescription and arguing quietly and fiercely. However, after seeing Zheng Sleeve slowly coming in, the three doctors quickly got up in fear and saluted Zheng Sleeve. "I've seen Mr. Zheng."

"You doctors don't have to be polite, can Your Majesty's body improve today?" After Zheng Sleeve waved his hand, he turned around and walked to the couch and sat down, and then asked the three people.

"Mr. Zheng, we are now discussing a prescription, which may be able to relieve the toxicity on His Majesty's body in the shortest possible time." After taking a look at the two companions, the old doctor at the head gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to Zheng Sleeve.

"Oh? In that case, why don't you hurry up and use medicine, I see that you are fighting here and there, and you don't mean to grab medicine to decoction. Zheng Sleeve's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's just that this prescription is too violent, if you use the previous prescription and recuperate slowly, at most half a month, Your Majesty will have a chance to wake up, but if you use such a fierce medicine, I am afraid that although you can make Your Majesty wake up, the residual poison is not exhausted, and I am afraid that Your Majesty's body is ......" The doctor led by the doctor said with a hesitant face.

"I see...... Zheng Sleeve nodded thoughtfully, narrowed his eyes, and muttered for a long time before he said slowly. It doesn't matter, I believe that with Your Majesty's dragon body, you should be able to withstand it, as long as Your Majesty can wake up, Zheng Mou will definitely abide by the previous promise, not only will he let your family go, but also let you leave safely. ”

"Mr. has a life, I dare not obey, since this is the case, then the old decay will let people go to catch the medicine." The old doctor at the head couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then after bowing deeply to the military advisor Zheng Sleeve, he summoned a servant and asked him to go to the medicine warehouse in the backyard to grab the medicine and fry it according to this recipe.

And Zheng Sleeve narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, presumably, even Cao Hu'er himself had no way to believe that his most trusted military advisor would actually lie about the most important trump card.

It's a pity that Cao Hu'er has been busy paying attention to the battle situation, where does he have the leisure to pay attention to it, not to mention, Cao Hu'er has entrusted the Son of Heaven to his most trusted military advisor, how could he have expected that the military advisor who thinks about himself from his own perspective everywhere would actually do such a thing behind his back.

But after a while, the medicine was finally boiled out, and the oldest of them was waited by the old medical officer, and slowly fed the medicine sweat into the mouth of the Son of Heaven, although the Son of Heaven was unconscious, but the swallowing effort was still there, and it didn't take long, a bowl of medicinal juice was all fed into the old emperor's belly, and then he waited quietly for the old emperor to wake up.

At this time, Zheng Sleeve seemed to think of something, turned around and whispered a few words to a pro-soldier beside him, the pro-soldier nodded in understanding and walked out of the room quickly, and after a lot of effort, he led a person who was covered under a cloak into the room, but the cape was covered all the time, which made it impossible for the people in the room to see who was coming.

After about a pillar of incense, the old doctor who had been giving the Son of Heaven a pulse suddenly opened his eyes and looked happy. "Your Majesty's pulse seems to be a lot stronger, hurry up, quickly take the ginseng soup and give it to Your Majesty."

A small bowl of ginseng soup was quickly brought over there and poured it down to the old emperor, and after that, after waiting for a long time to get to the tea, he heard a barely audible moan, and the old emperor raised his eyelids with difficulty and slowly.

It's just that his eyes are extremely dull, and there is no expression on his face.

"Is he awake? Why is it the way it is? The military advisor Zheng Sleeve stood in front of the old emperor, tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, and after looking at it for a long time, he finally noticed that something was wrong, and whispered to the healer.

“…… This, this old decay really doesn't know, and please don't worry about it, and the old decay will give him a pulse image again. The old doctor wiped the cold juice on his forehead and looked at it for a long time, the old emperor who opened his eyes, but looked extremely sluggish, without a single expression.

After a long time, the juice on the old doctor's face became more and more, and the old emperor's eyes finally had a hint of brilliance, and he slowly opened his mouth and asked slowly in an extremely hoarse voice. "Who are you?"

Zheng Sleeve walked up to the old emperor with unprecedented agility, narrowed his eyes, and gradually laughed. "It turns out that Your Majesty is really awake, hehe, great, really good, to be honest, I'm really worried that you will become a fool after you wake up, fortunately, God willing, you haven't become stupid...... Do you know me? My surname is Zheng, do you recognize me? ”

Zheng Sleeve pointed to his nose and asked in a repeating voice. However, the old emperor only looked at him with a few doubtful glances, and then shook his head slowly. "Who are you, why are you in front of my eyes, where is your tall companion?!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to find any tall companions...... By the way, you all go down, Zheng Ping, take care of them...... Well, I'll give them the reward money in a while, and remember to let these three old gentlemen go home safely, understand? Zheng Sleeve took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his head, and glanced at the henchmen beside him.

The henchman nodded understandingly, and greeted the three healers who were relieved and wept with joy, thinking that they had finally been freed from the heavens and left the room.

And the old emperor wanted to sit up, but after lying down for several months, the muscles of his whole body had begun to atrophy, and there was no strength at all.
