Chapter 214: Sacrificing a Son

Shen Shilang thanked him and gave Eunuch Shen some silver.

Eunuch Shen left happily.

Su Jinshi asked housekeeper Jiang to take inventory and make a registration.

The two returned to the house, and Shen Shilang said, "What did you want to say just now? You haven't finished yet."

Su Jinshi said: "Tell him that there is no need for a crown prince anymore. I wonder what he will come up with."

Su Jinshi took out his cell phone and asked, "Do you want me to see it?"

"I just wanted to show you too." Shen Shilang said.

Su Jinshi continued, "So you saw me working and felt embarrassed to disturb me?"

Shen Shilang smiled, that was exactly what he meant.

"I didn't expect you to be so polite to me." Su Jinshi opened the Daxi World.

It has been a while since Shen Shilang came back. I wonder if Emperor Jiacheng is still in the imperial study.

Su Jinshi first cut the scene to the imperial study and took a look.

I didn't expect that Emperor Jiacheng was still alive.

There was no one in the imperial study. Eunuch Shen had not returned to the palace yet. Only the young eunuch was serving him.

Emperor Jiacheng was walking around in the imperial study when he suddenly turned around and said to the young eunuch standing beside the desk, "Tell me, my sons, are you willing to sacrifice your life for me?"

The young eunuch was so frightened that he was shaking like a sieve, and he knelt down with a plop. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I... I don't know anything."

Emperor Jiacheng sneered, "Useless thing."

The young eunuch prostrated himself on the ground, shaking all the time.

Su Jinshi looked at Shen Shilang, "What does he mean?"

"He's planning to have his son sacrifice his life span to him?" Su Jinshi looked at Emperor Jiacheng in the picture, "I don't think it's that simple."

"He likes to make simple things complicated to show how skilled he is." Shen Shilang smiled faintly.

Shen Shilang placed his hands on the table with his fingers crossed, and the tip of his thumb unconsciously rubbed the side of his index finger knuckle. "Perhaps, he will make this a test and ask them who is willing to offer his life for him."

While Shen Shilang and Su Jinshi were thinking about it, Emperor Jiacheng had already ordered the Crown Prince, the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince to come to the Imperial Study.

The fifth prince and the crown prince arrived first.

The two met on the way and already knew that Emperor Jiacheng had called all three sons.

So when they saw each other, they were not surprised.

"Fifth brother is beyond my expectation." The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince went to the Imperial Study together. On the way, the Crown Prince said slowly, "When I was your age, I didn't have the scheming and calculations that you have."

"Your Highness, I dare not respond to your words." The fifth prince said, "I am still young. When Your Highness was your age, I didn't even know where you were, let alone your situation at that time."

"If Your Highness is being modest, I would never dare to agree." The Fifth Prince's voice was childish, but his words were mature.

The prince sneered, "Fifth brother is really getting better and better. It seems that he has learned a lot from Master Shen."

"Speaking of which, since Master Shen is the master, he should teach me." The prince said, "I also want to make progress."

"What the Grand Tutor taught me is not suitable for Your Highness." The fifth prince shook his head.

"Oh?" The prince looked down, his eyes sharp.

The fifth prince said: "What the Grand Tutor taught me is the way to assist others."

"What I have learned is how to assist Your Majesty." The fifth prince said, "I don't know how to govern a country, I only know how to assist Your Majesty."

As for who His Majesty is, if you think it is Emperor Jiacheng, then it is Emperor Jiacheng; if you think it should be you, then it is you.

The Crown Prince stared at the Fifth Prince in silence for a long time before he said, "Fifth brother is really getting better and better at talking. At such a young age, he is already hard to guess what he is saying."

In the imperial study, Emperor Jiacheng heard the conversation between the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince reported by the secret guard.

Emperor Jiacheng said coldly: "This prince is getting worse day by day. He is not as smart as the fifth child."

Assisting His Majesty and being loyal to His Majesty, isn't that being loyal to him? The purpose of the Crown Prince's question to the Fifth Prince, what he was thinking, was really obvious.

Emperor Jiacheng had originally intended to depose the crown prince, and now he was increasingly displeased with the crown prince. Everything the crown prince did displeased him.

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

The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince arrived first, and after a while, the Second Prince hurried over.

"I summoned you here today because I want to ask for your opinions on something," said Emperor Jiacheng.

"Father, what is this matter that requires our opinions?" The Second Prince asked in confusion, "I thought that Daxi's affairs were all decided by your word."

Emperor Jiacheng glanced at him and thought that the second son was now stronger than the crown prince.

The prince just couldn't recognize his own position and had too many delusions.

"You all know that Shen Shilang can communicate with the gods and get elixirs from them," said Emperor Jiacheng.

"Yes." The three of them said in unison.

Emperor Jiacheng nodded, stood up and walked out from behind the desk, and said, "It's just that my need for elixirs is becoming increasingly urgent."

"I will not hide it from you either." Emperor Jiacheng said, "In the past, I listened to Qiu Zhaohui's words and took too many fake pills, which caused too many chronic diseases to accumulate in my body. I really need the elixir of the gods to eliminate the chronic diseases in my body."

"But the elixirs that the Supreme God can give are limited. Now, the Supreme God has proposed a method to exchange one year of life for one elixir." Emperor Jiacheng said, "Shen Shilang has exchanged five years of his life for five elixirs for me."

"However, we can't let Shen Shilang continue to waste his lifespan." Emperor Jiacheng said, "He still needs to stay alive to communicate with the gods."

"Don't worry about his life. The illness in my body has not been completely cured. Who can I let communicate with the gods for me?" Emperor Jiacheng looked back and forth at the three people, and their hearts tightened.

"So, I want to ask you, who is willing to donate some of his life in exchange with the God?" When Emperor Jiacheng said this, the three of them were shocked.

For a moment, no one dared to speak, and no one knew how to answer in order to get themselves out of this situation without upsetting Emperor Jiacheng and bringing trouble to themselves.

Emperor Jiacheng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. No matter who donates his life span, I will give him the elixir after my illness is cured. It will be enough for him to make up for the lost life span."

"The Supreme God proposed to exchange my lifespan for the elixir. What I exchanged was just the extra elixir I needed. It was because I hoped to cure the chronic illness in my body as soon as possible." Emperor Jiacheng said, "Once the chronic illness is cured, I will be able to get the elixir as often as before, and there will be no need to exchange my lifespan."

"So, from now on, the elixir given by the gods will be given to the person who sacrifices his life for me." Emperor Jiacheng looked at the three of them, "Who among you three is willing to sacrifice his life for me in exchange for the elixir?"

As he spoke, Emperor Jiacheng's gaze first fell on the prince's face.
