Chapter 325 You personally send the deposed prince on his way

Wei Si had not slept all night, and when she was invited to the imperial study, there were still two faint blue-black marks under her eyes.

Xie Zhe glanced at her.

Women are favored by time, and even if they look haggard, their beauty cannot be concealed.

The Taoist priest from Tianyuan Temple explained the effects of the new elixir to Wei Si and said respectfully, "Your Majesty loves the Empress deeply and hopes that she will witness his transformation with her own eyes!"

"Really?" Wei Si waved her sleeves and sat down, her eyes sweeping meaningfully over the box of pills. "I also hope that Your Majesty can draw strength from the pills and gain an indestructible body."

Xie Zhe picked up a pill and said, "I have always favored Si Si. If I could truly obtain an indestructible body and the art of immortality, I would be willing to share it with Si Si."

He is the Son of Heaven.

As the emperor, everything he gets must be the best.

Women are no exception.

Si Si was not only beautiful, but he had known her since childhood, and her temperament and personality were very much to his liking. If he could really live forever, he hoped that the woman who would be by his side would still be Wei Si.

Wei Si watched him swallow the pill with her own eyes.

The beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

Not to mention that these pills are poisonous, even if there really is an elixir of immortality in front of her, she would rather die than share it with Xie Zhe.

As she was thinking, she suddenly saw Xie Zhe's face gradually turning red.

Xie Zhe staggered back a few steps, as if he was suffering from some kind of pain. He swept the memorial off the dragon table with great force as if to vent his anger.

Sun Zuosi stepped forward in shock, "Your Majesty?!"

Xie Zhe slapped him away with one palm!

Wei Si stood up and subconsciously distanced herself from Xie Zhe.

The two Taoists were very excited. Instead of running away, they took the initiative to move forward and wanted to observe the effects of the new medicine.

Double images appeared before Xie Zhe's eyes.

He seemed to see himself becoming his childhood self again.

His stepmother scolded and abused him in every way. He always stood alone in the corner wearing old clothes, watching his father and stepmother dote on his ignorant younger brother.

Later, my father was persuaded by my stepmother to let my younger brother take the throne of the crown prince.

But the Emperor of Wei suddenly issued an order to summon the princes and crown princes to the capital as hostages.

The stepmother was reluctant to let her brother go to the capital, so she took the initiative to give up the position of the crown prince, pretending to be virtuous and pushing him up...

The painful memories overwhelmed Xie Zhe.

Wei Si saw that white hair grew on his temples at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then his muscles swelled and burst through his dragon robe. Above his robe and pants, he had a monkey-like back and a wasp-like waist, and he looked extremely strong and terrifying!

She covered her mouth in surprise.

What kind of elixir did the Taoist priest of Tianyuan Temple create?!

The two Taoists were obviously in high spirits, discussing excitedly, "I thought that the addition of that herb was good, wasn't it?!"

"Tsk, if I hadn't added a few herbs later, how could it have had such an effect?! But what's with his white hair?"

"Maybe the new drug and the old one are reacting to each other! It's no big deal, I can just improve it later. I'm planning to refine another drug that can change gender, but I don't know if I can succeed..."

The two chattered excitedly.

Wei Si bit her lip.

The two Taoists were instructed by her and were quite timid at first, but now they have become bolder and simply regard Xie Zhe as a medicine man!

Just as she was thinking, Xie Zhe suddenly raised his scarlet eyes.

Before the two Taoists could react, the man's figure appeared in front of them in an instant as fast as an afterimage.

Xie Zhe grabbed a Taoist priest's neck with one hand and slowly lifted them up.

The two men were terrified and beat him hard to beg for mercy, but Xie Zhe's skin was so hard that even their nails couldn't scratch it!

With two "click" sounds, the necks of the two Taoists drooped in a strange arc.

Xie Zhe let go of his hand.

Two bodies fell to the ground.

Xie Zhe glanced at Wei Si.

Wei Si's face turned pale and she took a few steps back again.

Xie Zhe walked up to her step by step.

Holding Wei Si's slender white neck with his big hand, he lowered his eyes and looked down at the woman. After a long time, the terrifying scarlet color in his eyes gradually faded away, as if he had regained consciousness.

He stroked Wei Si's neck and said in a hoarse voice, "I really like this feeling now."

There is endless power hidden in his body, surging like the tide and inexhaustible. Even when he was young, he had never had such a wonderful experience.

If he were to fight Xie Guanlan now, his chances of winning would be 100%.

Xie Zhe took a few breaths and glanced at Wei Si. "I heard that in Baiyujing, in addition to the world's most precious treasures, there are also extremely rare medicinal herbs that can be used for immortality. In a few days, when my health has stabilized, I will personally take Si Si to Baiyujing."

His rough palm caressed Wei Si's cheek. He took a step closer, his eyes filled with intense ambition and desire. "I want to live forever with Si Si and enjoy the world together!"

The man ignored the hatred and fear in Wei Si's eyes and left with a big laugh.

Sun Zuosi climbed up crying "Ouch, ouch", supported his old waist which was about to break, and hurriedly chased after him.

Wei Si stood alone in the imperial study.

She looked at the sky outside.

Before dawn, the sky was dim and stars were faintly falling.

The sun is about to rise.

The next day.

Because the two Taoists were killed, Xie Zhe ordered their apprentices to be brought into the palace to continue developing the elixir of immortality.

Wei Si summoned them and gave them the prescriptions and pills left by their master.

As she skimmed off the tea foam, she pretended to ask casually, "I've noticed that although Your Majesty's body has become stronger after taking the elixir, there are now patches of white hair on his temples. I wonder why?"

The two young Taoist priests huddled together for a long moment before respectfully replying, "Your Majesty, while Master's elixirs can enhance physical strength, they do so at the cost of your life. Your Majesty's graying hair is a sign of aging. After a brief period of strength, he will age at an alarming rate! These elixirs must no longer be consumed!"

Wei Si lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea slowly.

The aroma of tea lingers between your lips and teeth.

She slowly raised her eyes and feigned concern, saying, "Your master was unfortunately killed by His Majesty. Before his death, he entrusted you to me. The Emperor's moods are unpredictable. In my opinion, rather than risking a new method of refining the elixir, it would be better to continue using this recipe for His Majesty. After all, His Majesty likes this recipe."

The two young Taoist priests looked at each other in horror.

They only knew that their master died in the palace, and they originally thought that he died from taking the wrong medicine. After all, their master usually liked to try various elixirs.

Unexpectedly, he died at the hands of the emperor!

Although the Queen in front of him looked cold and noble, there was no malice in her eyes.

I heard that the prince was her own flesh and blood, and was deposed from the crown prince position and imprisoned because of his failed rebellion. If the emperor died suddenly in the future, the deposed prince might not be unable to ascend the throne as emperor.

By then, as the Empress's confidants, wouldn't they be able to...

Without even a moment's hesitation, the two men knelt before Wei Si and said, "Your Majesty's concern for His Majesty is truly moving. I will do my utmost to refine the elixir of immortality for His Majesty!"

…

When Wei Si summoned two young Taoist priests, it was in the imperial study.

While reviewing the memorials, Xie Zhe said to He Yu, "I've checked the almanac, and tomorrow is a good day. Ah Yu, you will personally escort the deposed crown prince to his death. As for the others in the cell, take them all to Caishikou and behead them."

He Yu looked at him.

The emperor's temples were gray, a sign of old age, but his body was inappropriately strong and upright.

It reminded him of the mountain and sea picture books he had read as a child - the monsters and ghosts in the picture books often looked so ferocious.

After a while, he said, "I'm afraid the Queen will not agree."
