Chapter 118 Mortal Life Line 1

"Brother Pei, tell them that whoever pays for the ice lanterns will have their names written down in advance."

Li Yi doesn't care what Pei Yaoqing thinks, they only want to promote entertainment, which can be regarded as social development and increase life expectancy.

Pei Yaoqing nodded repeatedly. At this point, he already knew how to operate next.

He knew things about men of letters and wealthy people, and he was one of them.

Of course, businessmen don’t need to mention that making money from lanterns, etc. is just as profitable from ice lanterns.

Even in the winter, it can be used until the ice melts.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, lanterns and ice lanterns compete for beauty.

"Thank you, brother Yi. One ice lantern is enough." Pei Yaoqing was afraid that Li Yi would come up with other ways to make money, so she couldn't help but learn it again.

Your Majesty is always here. If you find out, I'm sure you'll be angry.

The time before when we were eating hot pot, Queen Wang rubbed Yi Di's head, and His Majesty just smiled and looked at it. That was so close.

But if you think about it, you can figure out that in Zhuangzi, all worries can be put aside, and there is a young man who can ask questions about politics at any time.

The critical young man's medical skills were superb, but the imperial medical office could not deal with the frostbite, so he was brought to Zhuangzi, where the young man treated him and gave him prescriptions.

No matter how dark a person's conscience is, when faced with such a young man, he still has to think about whether his heart is even darker.

Pei Yaoqing recovered instantly, and he remembered Li Yi's methods against Shopkeeper Liang and others.

If you don't know that, you will really be confused and think that the young man in front of you is gentle and elegant.

And what he told King Song two days ago that he was gambling, making money, and deceiving people...

Now he is also cheating, but he is fooling others along with him.

Li Yi couldn't read minds, so he didn't know why Pei Yaoqing's face changed.

He smiled and said, "Brother Pei, I discovered that vegetable wax and beeswax are mostly used nowadays, and rapeseed oil is used to light oil lamps."

"Ah, why don't you come here, Brother Yi, to learn the spirit of the swamp and use the lamp to illuminate? Brother Yi is a great talent." Pei Yaoqing responded and began to praise.

He was impressed by the biogas lamp. It was bright enough and the key was that it was cheap and could be made from excrement or something.

Students from poor families dare not wait at night. If it snows, the outside will be brighter than usual and it will get dark later.

Around the time of the full moon, there is snow in the north, so you can read by the moonlight.

As a result, now in Zhuangzi, if you build something like a biogas tank and insert a pipe, the flame will come up, bright and warm.

When he thought of this, Pei Yaoqing shook his head for the lack of care of many students.

When Zhuangzi's steward went to recruit people, he only asked if they would like to clean up livestock and poultry excrement. Many students refused.

How many scholars can be so arrogant? Brother Yi did everything himself, and he also knelt down to save people when practicing medicine.

Are you more knowledgeable than Brother Yi? Brother Yi will crush you to death.

Forty-two came last year, but this year they didn't come just because they needed to do some work, even though they knew that Yi Di took care of the students and their families.

Only two hundred and twenty desperate students entered the village.

Are you people stupid? You have no way to contribute, but you still have to be noble.

Brother Yi meets His Majesty here every few days. The prime ministers come here in turn, and the King of Song is a frequent visitor.

Why don't I, the Chang'an Order, come here in a hurry just because of someone's invitation?

I heard word from King Song that all forty-two students will be successful next year.

Pei Yaoqing thought to himself, he couldn't stop eating it, it was so delicious. The spicier it became, the more he wanted to eat it. The more he ate, the spicier it became. How could it be so enjoyable?

Li Yi was also sweating profusely after eating.

The palace maid and the eunuch were eating at a table nearby, waiting for Li Yi to call at any time.

The four of them who had changed classes yesterday were so anxious that it took nearly thirty days for them to arrive in four shifts.

After I left, I counted the days every day.

The first class had cried many times.

They showed unwillingness at first, so Li Yi didn't feel embarrassed and changed.

Now, they want to be themselves.

Unfortunately, the other three classes did not agree.

Li Yi drank some water and said, "Candles can also be made from butter and mutton fat. Especially now, when the weather is cold, it is more convenient to make candles on the snow."

"Someone has done it before. It's not easy to burn, but the wick doesn't work." Pei Yaoqing felt that he had finally mastered a technique that his brother Yi didn't understand.

"Using hemp, right?" Li Yi asked.

"Yes, that's right." Pei Yaoqing suddenly felt guilty. It turned out that Brother Yi knew about Deng Xin.

"The wax made from beef and mutton oil is too difficult to hold up, and the oil drips badly, so I have to use something else."

Li Yi broke Pei Yaoqing's last thought, "I know Deng Xin."

"Is there an unpleasant smell?" Pei Yaoqing asked immediately.

Li Yi shook his head: "No, just treat it with meat and oil, it's simple."

Pei Yaoqing took a deep breath. He felt a psychological shadow when he heard Li Yi say "simple".

He felt that nothing was not simple in front of Li Yi.

***

In the harem, Queen Wang frowned as she looked at the palace maid Xi'er who was lying there in tears, holding her stomach in pain.

Four doctors from the Imperial Medical Office came and took their pulses, then shook their heads.

"Queen, I have intestinal carbuncle for many days and it is incurable." An imperial doctor shook his head and gave the answer.

"Why don't I know this? Yesterday Xi'er was playing shuttlecock, Xi'er..." Queen Wang shed tears as she spoke.

She remembered that Xi'er was covered in sweat when she was playing shuttlecock yesterday. She said she was tired after playing for a while.

It was obviously painful, but Xi'er endured the pain.

"Cure Xi'er, and I will reward you with a mirror." Empress Wang said to the four imperial doctors, and at the same time took a small mirror.

The four people looked at the mirror and were tempted, but they still shook their heads.

Another imperial doctor sighed: "Queen, we can't save you."

"Then what do I need you for?" "Pa" Queen Wang threw the mirror to the ground.

"I am incompetent." The four imperial doctors bowed their heads at the same time.

"Yes, you are just incompetent, Xi'er, don't be afraid." Queen Wang suddenly remembered.

Xi'er, who endured the pain and kept silent, smiled: "Queen, at Xi'er's house..."

"What home? You won't die. Go and call Gao Lishi for me." Queen Wang shouted.

A little eunuch flew out.

In less than half a moment, Gao Lishi arrived, along with two eunuchs and two palace maids, pushing a flatbed cart.

The little eunuch went to him and explained the situation.

Gao Lishi knew what it meant without asking.

"General Gao, send him there. If he dies before we get there..." Queen Wang stared at Gao Lishi and said.

"I promise not to let Xi'er die." Gao Lishi answered directly.

"Quickly, tell Brother Yi that Xi'er is my personal maid." Queen Wang pointed at Xi'er and said.

"I understand that Xi'er is someone I must protect and belongs to me."

Gao Lishi did not lose his mind and told Li Yi that the queen was impossible and he could only take it into his own hands.

Xi'er was put in the car and pushed by five people.

As soon as they left the palace gate, there was a carriage waiting, carrying Xi'er and galloping towards the east of the city.

Xi'er clutched her stomach and gritted her teeth, letting out a slight moan.

Gao Lishi sat next to her and said to her: "You can survive until you get there. Now if you can't hold on, no one can save you. Your family outside the palace is counting on you."

"Yeah!" Xi'er had a determined look in her eyes and gritted her teeth even tighter.
