Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.
She then...
Jiang Yueyang took the box from Li Fuquan, took out the pill inside and looked at it carefully, then leaned closer to sniff it.
She could faintly smell a hint of cinnabar, and other than that there was a strong smell of medicine.
[Xiaogua, what's wrong with this pill? ]
The system had already started scanning the moment she picked up the pill, and immediately replied: [Judging from the ingredients of this pill, this is a pill that overdrafts your vitality in advance.
This elixir can make a person look radiant and a few years younger, but once the vitality is exhausted, the person will age and die quickly and turn into a mummy. 】
The officials present widened their eyes in astonishment!
Emperor Yuan was so dizzy that he almost fell off the dragon throne, but fortunately he caught himself in time.
When Yun Zhongzi saw Emperor Yuan's reaction, he was immediately sure that he could also hear the voice, and he was no longer panicked.
After hearing this, Jiang Yueyang subconsciously imagined what the mummy looked like, and grabbed Lu Yunting's arm with a little fear.
Lu Yunting felt her hand trembling, patted the back of her hand gently, and then clasped his fingers together tightly.
The system continued: [This kind of elixir is often used to boost the energy of dying people, so that they have time and energy to do unfinished things or make arrangements for their funeral.
But if it is not taken by a dying person, then the vitality will be overdrawn little by little until death.
In addition, although this elixir is a medicine for tigers and wolves, it is fine if it is taken by the right people. In a sense, this elixir is still a good medicine. 】
Hearing this, the Left Prime Minister suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Guo Yuanzheng said that His Majesty's pulse was abnormal, but he couldn't tell what was abnormal.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but Emperor Yuan suddenly felt uncomfortable all over his body, with a headache, dizziness, palpitations, chills, and shortness of breath...
Li Fuquan keenly sensed that something was wrong and shouted in panic, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yueyang looked up when she heard the voice and saw Emperor Yuan holding his chest and gasping for breath.
Before she could react, the left prime minister shouted, "Master Xiao Jiang, show it to His Majesty."
Jiang Yueyang responded with an "Oh, oh" and then let go of Lu Yunting's hand and walked up quickly.
She went to Emperor Yuan, rolled up his sleeves and took his pulse, and at the same time ordered Li Fuquan to unbutton Emperor Yuan's clothes to let in air.
【Little melon! 】
The system said: [It’s okay, it’s okay, I just had a sudden palpitation, it will be fine after he recovers. ]
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang and the people present breathed a sigh of relief, but the system said again, "But..."
[But what? ] Jiang Yueyang asked hurriedly.
[The emperor has already overdrawn his vitality for ten years. ]
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bolt of lightning that struck Emperor Yuan and the people present.
Emperor Yuan rolled his eyes and fainted!
"Your Majesty!" Li Fuquan exclaimed.
Jiang Yueyang was so scared that she quickly retracted her hand that was taking the patient's pulse. Lu Yunting, Zuo Xiang and others quickly rushed over.
Lu Yunting pulled Jiang Yueyang into his arms, frowning as he looked at the unconscious Emperor Yuan.
The left prime minister used his hand to feel Emperor Yuan's breathing, and after confirming that he was still breathing, he quickly sent for the imperial physician.
Jiang Yueyang came back to her senses, and hurriedly got out of Lu Yunting's arms, and ordered: "Hurry up and let His Majesty lie flat on the ground, untie his clothes, lift his lower limbs, and all of you disperse."
As her voice fell, everyone except the two eunuchs who were carrying Emperor Yuan's feet quickly dispersed.
Jiang Yueyang asked worriedly: [Xiaogua, will His Majesty be okay? Should I feed him Lingxi Pills? ]
[The emperor just fainted. There is no need to waste precious pills like Lingxi Pills. Just let him smell the Fengyoujing.]
After hearing this, Jiang Yueyang quickly reached into her sleeve and pulled out a bottle of green wind oil.
She unscrewed the bottle cap and shook it under Emperor Yuan's nose. After a while, Emperor Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
Everyone was overjoyed to see this. They couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads, but their hearts were still beating fast.
Jiang Yueyang asked: "Your Majesty, how do you feel?"
"I..." Emperor Yuan made a gesture to get up.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueyang quickly reached out to stop him, "Your Majesty, please lie down first and don't get up for the time being."
At this time, Guo Yuanzheng and two imperial doctors ran in hurriedly with medicine boxes, and their hats were tilted.
As soon as Guo Yuanzheng came in, he went straight to Emperor Yuan. After a thorough examination, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty is fine for now."
After Emperor Yuan recovered, the palace servants moved him to the inner hall. Not long after, the medicine prescribed by Guo Yuanzheng was also boiled and sent to him.
Seeing that he looked much better after drinking the medicine, Jiang Yueyang asked: [Little melon, did His Majesty really overdraw his vitality by ten years because of that elixir? ]
After the convulsion, when Emperor Yuan heard these words again, he could no longer bear it, but he really wanted to kill someone!
Although Guo Yuanzheng didn't know what happened before he came, he knew as soon as he heard that the elixir overdrew his vitality.
And Your Majesty has now overdrawn his life by ten years!
No wonder he fainted. No one could bear this. Ten years, how many decades can a person have?
System: [That's right! If Yun Zhongzi hadn't wanted to get money from the emperor, he wouldn't have let him die so quickly. He lied that it would take 9981 days to refine a pill. He probably wouldn't have waited until the host came back.]
[For money?] Jiang Yueyang was puzzled, [Murdering the emperor is a capital crime! If he gets so much money, will he live long enough to spend it?]
【Yun Zhongzi never thought about getting out alive.】
Everyone present narrowed their eyes and wondered in their hearts, is someone going to rebel again? Is Yun Zhongzi raising money for the rebels?
Emperor Yuan also felt that someone was plotting a rebellion and specifically chose to take action when Jiang Yueyang was not around.
After hearing the system's answer, Jiang Yueyang became even more confused. [Why did he do this? ]
【For the deceased Prince Rong. 】
