After opening the jade box and getting the book "Queen of Funan", Sun Quan's spirit became extremely excited.
He ignored his illness and tiredness, and could not wait for a moment. He stayed up all night reading, and did not even bother to take a bite of dinner.
When he tried to open the jade box, his mood was already ups and downs.
At this time, I stayed up late to read "Queen of Funan", and the things recorded in the book made me feel ups and downs.
Even though it was cold winter, Sun Quan felt that his whole body was hot and he was sweating layer after layer.
When I saw the people in the mountain gate searching for the bottomless abyss, I saw the mirage left by the immortal.
At the same time, I also saw the handwriting left by Queen Funan, and I knew that Queen Funan had seen the real magic and had abandoned the throne to seek immortality.
It was also at that time that the country of Funan changed from being dominated by women to being ruled by men.
Seeing this, Sun Quan couldn't help but his heart beat like thunder, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself:
"It turns out that there is really a way to cultivate immortality in this world..."
I repeated it several times, but it seemed that it was not enough to express my inner ecstasy, so I looked up to the sky and laughed:
“I’m not wrong, I’m not wrong! There really is something in this world…”
Halfway through his laughter, he suddenly stopped his voice and did not shout out the second half of the sentence.
The breath in his chest could not be fully vented, so Sun Quan couldn't help but clenched his fists and let out a long breath, which seemed to sigh and hate.
At this time, he had already understood that "Dian Kingdom Worm Valley" and "Queen of Funan" actually recorded the secrets of Feng Mingwen's sect.
In other words, it is the story of how these people in the mountain sect struggled to pursue the path to immortality hundreds of years ago.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but snorted.
What kind of outsider?
It's just that, like myself, we are all looking for a way to cultivate immortality.
It’s just that they are much luckier than themselves.
Although the two brochures in his hand did not tell where they finally found the method of cultivating immortals.
But hundreds of years later, someone in this mountain gate actually succeeded in cultivating immortality and enlightened Feng Mingwen.
It shows that they must have found what they were looking for.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but feel jealous.
Hundreds of years ago, these so-called disciples of the mountain sect were just mortals, and they could all find immortal magic.
I am the Son of Heaven, rich all over the world, with millions of soldiers, and ships that cover the sun. How can I still not find him?
After reading the complete book, Sun Quan became even more determined to seek the Tao.
But when he thought about this, he remembered that there was someone who had the same purpose as himself, and Sun Quan couldn't help but snorted angrily.
Feng Mingwen, who used poisonous tactics to cause trouble in Nanzhong, was really nothing more than a treasure in the insect valley of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
As for the Han caravans appearing around Funan Kingdom, they were sent there specially by Feng Mingwen!
This thief is an abandoned disciple of the master. He must have been unable to learn the way of cultivating immortals, so he defected from the master, right?
He almost had a chance to learn the art of cultivating immortals, but was abandoned. No one would be willing to do it, so he was probably looking for the secrets of his former master.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan was shocked:
In this case, wouldn’t Feng Thief be his opponent in Xunxianwen?
But Thief Feng came out of the mountain gate, so he must have information that he didn't know.
If not, why would you send people to Funan Kingdom?
If Man Rong hadn't brought out the jade box this time, sooner or later, Thief Feng's spies would have discovered the jade box.
As soon as he thought of this, Sun Quan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: What a danger!
At this moment, he felt that his whole body seemed to be wet and sticky.
He raised his head and was about to call to the palace attendants outside the door, when he realized that the candles were already burning like beans.
The windows were already filled with white light.
It turned out that the things mentioned in the book were so horrifying and so unstoppable that he actually stayed awake all night reading them.
The excitement subsides, and the consequences of excessive mental and physical exertion begin to bite back.
Sun Quan felt that his head was dizzy, his whole body was light, his hands and feet were a little unruly, and even his eyes were so tight that he could hardly open them.
Nowhere in my body feels good.
It turns out that Sun Quan was originally ill, so he should recuperate quietly, maintain emotional stability, and avoid overexertion.
It was precisely this jade box that had caused him to experience ups and downs in mood over the past few days, like a boat on a raging wave.
After getting the book "Queen of Funan", Sun Quan did not eat during the day or sleep at night.
Such a torment, not to mention a sick person, even a healthy person will inevitably feel weak and have tightness in the chest.
After the adrenaline faded, Sun Quan covered his chest and began to breathe heavily again.
Remembering the last time he got sick, Sun Quan suddenly panicked.
While he still had some strength, he stuffed "Queen of Funan" into the quilt and shouted loudly:
“Come, come quickly!”
The palace servants who had been guarding outside the door all night heard Sun Quan’s call and came in quickly:
“Your Majesty?”
Once again he saw Sun Quan half-lying on the couch with his chest in his hands, and he was immediately frightened:
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?”
"Attendant doctor, call the attendant doctor quickly!"
The palace attendants on duty were in panic and confusion. If His Majesty had something went wrong when he was on duty and failed to discover it in time, that would be a serious crime.
Sun Quan was already feeling extremely uncomfortable, but the shouts and chaos of the palace people at this time made him even more irritable and almost vomiting.
My eyes gradually became blurry, and my body finally couldn't bear any more load and began to fall into coma.
Sun Quan fell into a coma, and in the inner hall, Mrs. Pan opened her eyes suddenly as if she was frightened.
“Come here!”
“Madam?”
“What time is it?”
“Back to Madam, it’s almost time.”
Mrs. Pan looked at the bright light outside, then breathed a sigh of relief and moved with difficulty.
The people below understood and hurriedly stepped forward to help him turn over.
Since Sun Quan and Mrs. Pan became immortal lovers, Sun Quan basically did not let other concubines sleep with him.
First of all, Mrs. Pan was really beautiful and made Sun Quan extremely fond of her.
Secondly, Sun Quan wanted to practice immortality. In order to show his sincerity, he naturally wanted to cultivate with his immortal companion as much as possible.
Three times, Sun Quan is old.
Mrs. Pan is young, Sun Quan is old, there is an old husband and a young wife. Even if there is a secret medicine to help, it can only be effective for a short time.
How can I deal with the ladies in the harem?
So this is one of the reasons why Sun Quan agreed to drive his untitled concubine to live outside the palace.
Mrs. Pan has been favored and favored for more than a year, and she finally became pregnant with Longzi in March this year.
At this time, she was about to go into labor. Her belly was too big and she couldn't turn over on her own. Naturally, she needed help from the palace staff.
The pregnant woman was sleepy. She slept until almost midnight today, until she saw a person in her dream holding a dragon head and placing it on her knees.
She was so frightened that she quickly covered the dragon's head with her knees.
This fright actually woke me up.
Reminding me of the ferocious dragon head in my dream, it seemed that it had been chopped off by someone, and the **** dragon head was just placed on my lap. I don't know whether it was bad luck or good luck.
The dragon is the symbol of the emperor.
Your Majesty has been ill in bed these days.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Pan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
I was thinking about something in my mind, so I was a little distracted, and my movement of turning over was a little slow.
One of the palace attendants who came to help turn her over did not cooperate well, making Mrs. Pan feel uncomfortable.
She was so angry that she stretched out her hand and slapped the palace man in the face, cursing:
“You bitch! Do you want to murder me?”
"Snapped!"
A red mark immediately appeared on the palace lady's face. Instead of covering it, she immediately fell to the ground:
“Madam, I realize my mistake!”
"What do you need to do with your hands and feet for a lowly servant who can't even help others?"
Mrs. Pan is naturally small-minded. Although she has been favored by Sun Quan since she entered the palace, this does not mean that she will be peaceful.
Coupled with the fact that she was pregnant at this time, her temper became even worse.
It is common to beat and scold the palace officials if something goes wrong.
But when he saw her lying on the couch, she cursed at the palace servants on the ground:
“Since the hands and feet are useless, it’s better to break them! Someone, pull this **** out and break her arms so that she can remember her!”
“Madam, I know I was wrong, please spare me, madam, please madam!”
When the palace servants were dragged out, they begged again and again.
“Noisy!”
Mrs. Pan showed no mercy at all. Instead, she said angrily, "Seal her mouth, she's so noisy!"
“Hmm…”
The palace man's voice gradually disappeared.
The remaining people were as silent as a cicada, daring not to make any move.
Mrs. Pan lost her temper, and then she felt that the suffocation in her heart had dissipated a little.
These days, I have not been able to see His Majesty, and I am physically inconvenient. Princess Quan, the only one who can talk to me, has not come over this time.
Mrs. Pan was feeling depressed when she suddenly felt that the baby in her belly began to churn.
She subconsciously reached out to touch her belly.
According to past experience, the child will calm down after being fussy in the stomach for a while.
But for some reason today, the child seemed to be getting more and more noisy, and her stomach felt a slight pain from the kicks.
The pain made Mrs. Pan frown slightly, and then she felt as if her lower body was incontinent, and a warm current soaked the bed.
“His! Ah!”
Mrs. Pan groaned in pain.
The attendant saw that something was not right about Mrs. Pan and asked quickly:
“Madam, are you okay?”
“Quick, call the doctor!”
Even though Mrs. Pan was inexperienced, she knew something was wrong, "I have a stomachache..."
As soon as the palace people heard this, they rushed to call the doctor.
Fortunately, Mrs. Pan had a palace attendant with production experience beside her, and she quickly called out:
"Madam, she is about to give birth. Don't call the doctor. Call the midwife first."
On the last three days of December in the sixth year of Yanxi, Emperor Wu's condition suddenly worsened and he fell into a coma in his palace.
Three days later, Mrs. Pan gave birth to a son in the inner palace.
This son is also Sun Quan’s youngest son, Sun Liang.
The seventh year of Yanxi was also the seventh year of Chiwu in the state of Wu. The great meeting of the state of Wu could not be held because Sun Quan was seriously ill.
The imperial meeting can be canceled due to special circumstances, but the sacrifice to the Ancestral Temple cannot be postponed.
Sun Quan was unable to get up from his bed to recuperate, so he sent the prince to go to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices in his stead.
At the same time, it also means that the prince should pray in the Ancestral Temple so that his illness can be cured quickly.
After Sun He received the edict, he did not dare to neglect it. After making preparations early, he set up his car and drove to the Ancestral Temple.
Sun He was only twenty years old, a young man in his prime, and he had just been established as the crown prince for two years, so he didn't understand many rules.
It is an auspicious time to enter the Ancestral Temple to formally offer sacrifices.
When Sun He arrived at the Ancestral Temple, he realized that the time had not yet come.
As a last resort, he could only wait outside.
The winter cold has not passed yet, and after standing outside for a long time, it is still a bit chilly.
Fortunately, the residence of Zhang Xiu, the prince's uncle, was very close to the Ancestral Temple.
Zhang Xiu and Gu Cheng were originally imprisoned because Quan Cong overturned the case of Shouchun's military exploits.
Later, the emperor issued an edict, ordering a division to re-investigate the case. Therefore, the charges of the two men have not yet been determined, and it is not appropriate to remain in prison.
After adding that both of them were meritorious officials, they were released again.
However, movement is subject to restrictions, and you are not allowed to leave Beijing without an order.
Knowing that the prince was waiting outside the Ancestral Temple, Zhang Xiu sent someone to ask the prince to rest in his residence, so as not to catch the cold accidentally by staying outside all the time.
Sun He saw that it was still early, so he naturally agreed.
But he didn't know that shortly after he entered Zhang's house, a spy also rushed into the house quickly.
“Princess, the prince has gone to the Zhang family!”
Hearing the report of the spies she sent to monitor the prince, Princess Quan stood up with joy:
"Okay, okay! I thought he must not know the rules and would probably go see Zhang Shusi (that is, Zhang Xiu)."
Quan Cong, who was sitting with Princess Quan, could not help but high-five:
“Zhang Shusi’s death has come! Where will he run away this time?”
Your Majesty has not been seen in these days, and has not seen any foreign ministers.
Yushi has been procrastinating on the Shouchun military merit case, and has been vague and has no clear answer.
See Zhang and Gu being released again.
Quan Cong knew that His Majesty might be planning to make peace with him.
The final result of this matter may be that the military merits of Quan's children will be ranked ahead of Gu and Zhang.
However, the punishment for Gu and Zhang will not be too severe. At most, they will be demoted and fined.
Mr. Gu and Zhang probably guessed what His Majesty was thinking, so Zhang Xiu dared to invite the prince to his residence.
They must have never imagined that this time, they and others were targeting the prince!
“I will go to the palace to see your majesty right away.”
Princess Quan couldn't wait for a moment.
The longer the delay is, the closer the auspicious moment will be, and the more likely it is that the prince will come out of Zhang's house.
When things came to a close, Quan Cong became a little worried:
"Your Majesty has not seen outsiders for a long time. I wonder if I can see your Majesty when I enter the palace this time?"
Princess Quan smiled and said:
“I’m not a stranger. Besides, it’s the first day of the week. Your Majesty won’t see foreign ministers, but it’s impossible not to see your family.”
After finishing speaking, he left the house and boarded the car that had been prepared long ago and headed to the palace.
Sun Quan, who had rested for three days before feeling somewhat energetic, learned that Princess Quan was entering the palace on Zhengdan to pay her respects, and he indeed asked her to come in to meet her.
After Princess Quan asked about Sun Quan's condition with concern, the worry on her face became more intense, and at the same time she said angrily:
“Your Majesty is ill and the prince went to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices on his behalf. He should abide by the rules. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to both the Ancestral Temple and Your Majesty.”
"But when my daughter heard that the prince had arrived at the Ancestral Temple, she didn't want to wait any longer. Instead, she went to Zhang Shusi first. She didn't know what they were discussing."
When Sun Quan heard this, his face suddenly darkened:
"What did you say? This happened?"
I asked you to go to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices. I asked you to pray for me. Is this how you do things for me?
Sun Quan couldn't believe that the prince would be so bold for a moment.
Princess Quan took the opportunity and said:
“Your Majesty, when did my daughter lie to you? When I came into the palace just now, I happened to meet Mrs. Wang. Guess what?”
"Not only did Mrs. Wang not look sad, she actually had joy on her face. When she saw her daughter, she said that I can't be the queen now, but I will be the queen mother in the future."
"boom!"
Sun Quan angrily hit the couch with his hand, "How dare you do this, you bitch!"
The emperor, who was old and seriously ill, became more worried about the loss of power as he advanced to the rear.
Because they know that no matter how filial a son is, it is difficult to resist the temptation of his position.
So they are extremely psychologically sensitive.
“Your Majesty, from my daughter’s point of view, the Crown Prince and his son are afraid that your illness cannot be cured, so they behave like this.”
“Besides, the prince may have an ulterior motive for going to the Zhang family, and I don’t know if he may have some plans with the Zhang family.”
Zhang and the prince are related by marriage.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help it:
“Come here!”
“Your Majesty?”
“Go, take my warrant immediately and go to the Ancestral Temple to see what the prince is doing!”
“Here!”
