Chapter 212: Deception

He felt that he was fine again. Taking advantage of this excitement, Emperor Jiacheng looked at Shen Shilang and asked, "However, why do I feel particularly uncomfortable and weak if I don't take this medicine for a period of time? But once I take the medicine, I feel better? Does the God have any advice?"

"When I asked for medicine, the God did mention this matter, and I was just about to report it to Your Majesty." Shen Shilang said, "The God said that Your Majesty had taken too many fake elixirs from Qiu Zhaohui for so many years, and too much poison had accumulated in his body."

"At first, the elixir forced out some of the poison, and Your Majesty could still bear it. But as you took more elixirs, the elixir became more effective, and the resistance to the poison in Your Majesty's body became stronger and stronger, and Your Majesty began to feel deeply uncomfortable."

"But the God said that your Majesty's current situation is actually a good thing." Shen Shilang said, "The stronger your Majesty's reaction is, the stronger the effect of the True Spirit Pill in clearing the toxins in your Majesty's body will be."

"After all, the elixir is something from the gods, and it is difficult for mortals to bear it. Only Your Majesty, as the True Dragon Emperor, can bear it. But even so, Your Majesty still endured some pain."

"Your Majesty is taking the elixir at increasingly shorter intervals, which means that more and more poison is being forced out of your body. It has already emerged from your Majesty's internal organs instead of being deposited and hidden." Shen Shilang opened his eyes and spoke nonsense to Emperor Jiacheng.

"The God said that this is a great thing for Your Majesty." Shen Shilang said, "As long as Your Majesty insists on taking the elixir, all the toxins in your body will be forced out of your internal organs, and you will be close to being completely detoxified."

"It's just that, because it requires a lot of elixirs, the God proposed to exchange it for lifespan." Shen Shilang said, "Your Majesty, the God said that every time you take an elixir, it will first clean up the poison that has been forced out of your internal organs. So the period of time just after taking the elixir is when your body is the most comfortable and lightest, and you will feel like you are floating in the air."

"Because it is a divine elixir, after taking it, Your Majesty will also feel some of the feelings of being a divine elixir in advance." Shen Shilang said, "After the toxins that were forced out of the five internal organs are cleared, the remaining power of the elixir will penetrate into the five internal organs and continue to force out the toxins deposited deep in the five internal organs. This process, as well as the toxins that remain in Your Majesty's body after being exposed, will make Your Majesty feel more painful, and the only way is to take the elixir again."

"But once the pill is taken, the process will continue to repeat until all the toxins are forced out and eliminated." Shen Shilang said, "Your Majesty..."

Shen Shilang said in embarrassment: "If Your Majesty wants to detoxify, you can only endure this kind of pain."

"That's no problem, as long as I take the elixir in time. If I can take the elixir in time, I won't have to endure this pain." Emperor Jiacheng said, his eyes fixed on Shen Shilang's face with fiery pressure, "My dear, I will rely on you."

"Yes, I will do my best to obtain more elixirs for Your Majesty." Shen Shilang said.

"No wonder you look so pale, it's because you've lost a lot of energy." Emperor Jiacheng was deeply moved and hurriedly called Eunuch Shen, "Go to the storehouse and sort out the ginseng, deer antlers and other supplements. I remember there are several hundred-year-old wild ginsengs. Take them out and send them to the Shen Mansion."

"As for the remaining wild ginseng that is less than 100 years old, pick out the best ones and have Shen Qing take them regularly as a tonic. Also, send bird's nest, Polygonum multiflorum, and donkey-hide gelatin to the Shen residence."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Shen Shilang knelt down and said.

Shen Shilang has thought it through. When he goes home with Su Jinshi next month, he will send these to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Emperor Jiacheng, however, thought that he should take good care of Shen Shilang so that he could live longer and buy elixirs for himself.

Compared to your own life, what do those ginseng and deer antlers mean?

Emperor Jiacheng asked Shen Shilang to stand up. He felt better now and even felt as if he was floating in the air.

Emperor Jiacheng was in a mood to stir up trouble again, so he asked Shen Shilang, "You sent wedding invitations to all the prefectures in the capital for your wedding. But it seems that you didn't send any to the Wei family."

"Your Majesty." Shen Shilang said helplessly, "I... Although the Wei family has raised me, I really don't want to invite them to my wedding. It would be offensive to see them."

"You!" Emperor Jiacheng pointed at Shen Shilang with a smile, as if he was a favored junior. "When you first entered the court, you knew how to pretend and consider your reputation. Now you don't even care about your reputation."

Why? Emperor Jiacheng thought that it was because he was young and impatient.

I feel that I am now a high-ranking official and have reached the top of the civil service, so I don't need to worry about those things anymore.

Just do things according to your nature.

After all, it's still floating.

It’s good to float.

He is floating, which means that he is still not stable enough and is easily controlled by himself.

Emperor Jiacheng felt light-hearted and thought that everything was under his control.

This feeling is really wonderful.

Emperor Jiacheng smiled and said, "I cannot help but consider your reputation. Therefore, I have already sent someone to send a letter to the Wei Mansion in your name."

Shen Shilang was shocked and said, "Your Majesty asked someone to deliver it? But...but they didn't come."

"Yes, they didn't come." Emperor Jiacheng said with satisfaction, "It shows that you really offended them badly."

Emperor Jiacheng thought proudly that he had waited until now to tell Shen Shilang just to see if Wei Zhaoxian and Shen Shilang would really never have any contact again.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

If the two of them were just acting, seeing the invitation sent by Shen Shilang, it would be like getting married, a big deal.

Wei Zhaoxian had to come here no matter what.

After all, that was the child he raised.

However, Wei Zhaoxian didn't react at all.

Emperor Jiacheng was very satisfied with this.

Shen Shilang knew that next, Emperor Jiacheng would talk about the dispute between him and the second prince on the day of their wedding.

As expected, Emperor Jiacheng said, "I heard that the Second Prince gave you trouble on the day of your wedding?"

"I dare not argue with the Second Prince." Shen Shilang said hurriedly, "It's just that the Second Prince openly talked about my wife's appearance. If I sit back and do nothing, and my wife's reputation is damaged, what kind of husband am I?"

"You still suspect that the Second Prince has planted spies in various prefectures."

"I really can't figure out how the Second Prince knew the appearance of my wife." Shen Shilang said, "Su has been keeping a low profile in Chong'an. She would never step out of the residence unless accompanied by me. After coming to the capital, she was afraid of making mistakes and never dared to go out rashly. She even rejected the invitations sent by various mansions."

"Under such circumstances, the Second Prince seems to know my wife's appearance very well." Shen Shilang lowered his head and said, "I have no choice but to have such doubts."

"You know, after the various mansions returned, they conducted a thorough investigation and indeed found that several families had the second son's accomplices, and several families had the prince's accomplices."
