Chapter 15 What if it’s a real elixir?
After he finished speaking, the noble concubine looked at him gloomily.
Bei Jingchu was about to die of laughter: [What an idiot! The imperial concubine just lost a prince, and you're getting close to him and making a scene, and you're wondering why he chose the emperor instead of you. I really mean, this isn't straight, this is an idiot.]
King Lu also realized that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry Miao'er, I didn't mean it. I just don't like the tyrant's child, not your child."
He went over to put Bei Jingchu down and took Concubine Gui's hand, "You want a child, we will have many children in the future."
Bei Jingchu, who was put down, said: [Am I a part of your play? ]
But no one present could hear her thoughts, and Bei Jingchu could only watch the drama in front of her through her titanium dog eyes.
Life is so boring without a mobile phone. The only way to relieve my boredom is to eat melons.
At this moment, she is a civet in the melon field.
King Lu told the purpose of his trip: "I have found a group of alchemists who can make elixirs. Find a chance to present them to my brother."
"What do you want to do?" the concubine asked warily.
Bei Jingchu's eyes rolled around and said, "Good guy, let's make the elixir."
What a familiar plot! It is a hurdle that all emperors in history, both wise and tyrant, could not overcome.
After becoming emperor, he became attached to power and wanted to sit on the throne forever, so he pursued cultivation and immortality.
They thought the elixirs offered by the Taoist priests could make them immortal, but in fact they were things that drained their bodies.
Prince Lu fanned himself, thinking he was being very romantic.
"Of course it hastened his physical decline."
The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows and scolded him: "Bei Yang, do you have any conscience? You want me to die for you?"
Prince Lu quickly took her shoulder and comforted her: "Miao'er is my sweetheart, how could I bear to let you die?
I have asked someone to try the elixir made by this Taoist priest a long time ago. After taking it for the first time, it will make people more excited and have better physical strength.
When the time comes, you will be recognized as a meritorious official who has contributed to the creation of the elixir, and the emperor will favor you even more."
Speaking of this, King Lu couldn't help but sound a little jealous.
He held the imperial concubine in his arms and sat on the small couch. Bei Jingchu was placed on the soft cushion beside him and listened to their conspiracy: "But it only temporarily makes people more energetic, at the cost of draining the body. In the long run, he will die young."
King Lu promised: "When I ascend the throne, I will make you my queen."
The imperial concubine was flattered by the title of empress and had a momentary yearning for the position, but she soon calmed down.
"If I become the queen, how will Princess Lu cope with it?"
"Her?" Prince Lu said nonchalantly, "Just make her a noble concubine."
These words failed to comfort the noble concubine, but instead calmed her down.
This man is romantic and passionate, and is very good at making women happy. It would be great to have him as a lover to relieve the loneliness in the palace.
But now it is clear that he is not someone you can rely on.
Even his first wife could be demoted at will. Although she got the position of queen by relying on his current love, if he falls in love with someone else in the future, can't she be abandoned at will?
So the concubine refused.
Prince Lu was somewhat angry and said, "I saw that you were not favored in the harem, so I wanted to give you a chance to show your talents. How dare you not know what is good for you?"
"Then I'll go by myself." He said and walked away.
Halfway through the walk, seeing that the imperial concubine had no intention of keeping him, he shook his sleeves even more vigorously before leaving.
After watching him leave, the noble concubine picked up Bei Jingchu and no longer had the heart to play with the child.
He took Bei Jingchu back to Yu's study, and happened to run into Prince Lu's audience.
But if a person has already entered, it would seem suspicious to leave.
The imperial concubine had no choice but to return Bei Jingchu to the emperor, hoping to leave as soon as possible.
When the emperor took the concubine from the imperial concubine, he heard: "Here he comes. Prince Lu must be here to offer elixir, and then he boasted that the elixir can make people immortal.
This is how the emperor's health was ruined, with all the fabrications, elixirs, and night-shining pearls, and he managed to survive until the male protagonist grew up. My father's physical foundation is really strong! 】
The emperor glanced at Prince Lu below the stage and had to say that he had made a good move.
If the young man hadn't reminded him, the emperor felt that he might have really been tricked.
Who could resist the temptation of immortality? Especially an emperor who already had everything he wanted, with the exception of his own life span, which he had no control over.
"I'll take my leave now." The noble concubine bowed.
The emperor waved his hand and allowed her to leave.
The King of Lu, who was sitting at the bottom, said to the Emperor, "Brother, I recently visited a Taoist priest who was able to refine an elixir. I have eaten the elixir before, and after taking one, I felt radiant and energetic, just like an elixir."
Because of the existence of the Yue Dynasty's national teacher, the entire country still highly respected Buddhism and Taoism, and was even more respectful of Taoist priests and monks.
As he spoke, King Lu took out a golden nanmu box, opened it, and inside, the soft silk and yellow brocade supported a bright red pill.
The color of the "magic pill" is bright red, different from ordinary black pills, and looks more fairy-like.
Eunuch Jiang took the thing from him and placed it on the emperor's desk.
The emperor looked at the pill and couldn't help thinking, since the princess's thoughts and prophecies were all included, it wouldn't be surprising if there really was a pill that could make people ascend to heaven and become immortals, right?
How can we prove that this pill will definitely harm the human body?
What if it’s really a panacea?
