Chapter 115 White-Eyebrowed Taoist
As soon as the mother and son met, Baili Jun was eager to bring the Taoist priest in.
Empress Guo scolded in a low voice: "Why are you in such a hurry? As the crown prince, you should not show your emotions in front of ordinary people. Be careful that others may find fault with you. I have taught you this before. Have you forgotten it?"
Baili Jun lowered his head and explained: "I am just worried about my father's illness. The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors has no effect after taking it every day. Why not try these unconventional methods..."
"You also know that this is an unorthodox practice? You bring in all kinds of people, what if it's dangerous to your father?"
"I didn't think that much..."
Baili Jun just watched his father lying there all day long, his limbs unable to move normally, even reaching out to drink a sip of water became difficult, and he felt sad.
The father who took him to gallop on the horse field when he was a child is finally gone.
Empress Guo also realized that her words were a bit harsh, so she was silent for a few seconds before asking, "What's the Taoist's name? Where does he live? Which Taoist temple does he belong to? Who has he interacted with privately? Have you checked everything?"
Baili Jun was startled again, and his voice gradually became lower and lower when he answered: "His name is Taoist Baimei, and the rest of your sons and ministers... your sons and ministers only wanted your father to get better soon, so they didn't ask any details."
Seeing that Empress Guo's face darkened and she was about to get angry, he quickly added to explain, "The Taoist with White Eyebrows is indeed quite capable. He only met me for the first time today, but he knew that I had nightmares these past few days, and even the contents of the nightmares were exactly the same! I saw that he was really a cultivator, so I thought of bringing him in for you to take a look. If you think he is inappropriate, I will send him back..."
Seeing Baili Jun being so humble in front of her, Empress Guo slightly raised her chin and said helplessly, "Forget it, let Xuan come in. If it can really make your father better, everything will be worth it."
Baili Jun's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, mother!"
He immediately summoned Baimei into the inner hall to talk.
Although it was his first time entering the luxurious and noble palace and meeting the nobles with enormous power, Baimei was not at all flustered. He was a cultivator and understood some profound things, so he was not really incompetent.
Queen Guo carefully looked at the person kneeling below, raised her eyebrows slightly, and seemed quite indifferent.
The prince asked him to step forward a few steps and come to the dragon bed to check on the emperor's condition.
Baimei looked at him quietly for a while and saw that the emperor had already looked dead and his body was extremely thin, but his mind was clear and he could still speak from time to time, so he was not completely useless.
"How is it? Can my father be saved?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you have the support of the people, so you should live a long and blessed life."
Long life and good fortune?
Baili Jun didn't understand what he meant.
"If that's the case, why are you still suffering from the disease?"
The Taoist with white eyebrows stroked his beard, stretched out two fingers to draw a symbol on the old emperor's forehead, and muttered something in a low voice.
Then he leaned over and whispered a word in the old emperor's ear before slowly withdrawing his hand.
The next second, the person on the dragon couch slowly opened his eyes, and in his deep and turbid eyes, there was still a hint of sharpness that belonged only to an emperor.
Empress Guo didn't know what the Taoist was up to, but when she saw the old emperor's gloomy look in his eyes, she felt a little nervous.
"You stinking Taoist priest, are you pretending to be a god? Come, take him away and beat him to death!"
Baili Juan stopped him: "Mother, you can't do that!"
"He is obviously a swindler. Why do you, as the Crown Prince, trust him so much?" Queen Guo asked coldly.
Baili Jun raised his head and pleaded earnestly: "It doesn't matter if he is cheating or pretending to be a god, as long as it can make father feel better, why not?"
"You really are... a fool!"
Queen Guo tightened her fingers slightly in her sleeves and turned her eyes away helplessly, feeling somewhat angry about how she could have given birth to a son as kind-hearted as Baili Jun.
"Prince..."
The person on the dragon couch suddenly sighed. Baili Jun hurriedly stood by his side and asked anxiously, "Father, your son is here!"
"Send Taoist Baimei out."
"Yes, Father, do you have anything else to say?"
The old emperor's dry lips moved slightly: "I feel a warm gas flowing in my body, it's very comfortable."
Baili Jun and Queen Guo were both stunned and looked at Baimei. Seeing his smug look, they knew that he had some real skills.
"Has Lu Yuan set off?" the old emperor asked again.
"Leave Beijing the day after tomorrow."
"Okay... okay, when I leave, I will never leave you a mess."
Baili Jun felt upset, and he held the old emperor's hand and comforted him, "In the southeast, your son can calm down, and your father can just enjoy the happiness of family life."
The old emperor smiled silently, his eyes vaguely falling on Empress Guo, with a hint of majesty, and countless words he wanted to say turned into silence.
"If His Majesty wants to move his limbs and walk, he needs to replenish his Yang Qi and his flesh and blood." Bai Mei took out a rune from his arms, on which were two lines of his birth date. He handed the rune to Baili Jun and said, "The blood of this person with this birth date can replenish His Majesty's lost Yang Qi and nourish his flesh and blood. Although he can't return to the past, it's no problem to improve by 30% or 40%. "
Baili Juan looked at his birth date and said nothing.
This is... to use human blood to make up for each other? Isn't that cruel?
Baimei observed his expression, curious about what decision he would make.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most kind-hearted and gentle person in the world. He has personally experienced battlefields and rescued disaster victims. Would he kill people to get their blood in order to extend the life of the old emperor?
Baimei couldn't guess it, as there are many things in this world that cannot be guessed.
The matter in the Zijin Palace was settled, and with the old emperor's order in place, Baili Jun personally escorted him out of the palace.
Even if Empress Guo disliked this stinky Taoist priest, there was nothing she could do.
When the palace was quiet, she walked to the dragon bed and asked softly, "Is the emperor feeling unwell?"
The old emperor ignored him, closed his eyes, and called out two words with a sad face.
"Awan..."
After hearing these two words, Empress Guo's face suddenly became hideous, and she did not feel any pain even though her fingertips were deeply embedded in her flesh.
Awan.
It is the name of Concubine Rong.
In his heart, he was thinking about that person until his death!
In front of the majestic and solemn palace gate, Baili Jun thanked Taoist Baimei and sent someone to present gold and silver.
Baimei bit the gold and it hurt his teeth a little.
Baili Jun asked with a smile: "Do you still suspect that the gold from the palace is fake?"
Baimei grinned and put all the gold and silver into his arms. What was strange was that even with so much gold and silver, there was no room for bulge on his body.
"Alright, Prince, please go back. I will pay my respects to you."
Baili Jun said: "Even if you travel around the world and make your home anywhere, if what you said today is false, I will pull you out and skin you alive even if I have to turn the world upside down!"
"Skinned alive again? Why not try another way to die?"
"What did you say?"
