......
After finishing his breakfast, which had not been poisoned, Xi Xingxue's servants came to ask him about his schedule for the day.
Xi Xingxue realized it was time to present the emperor with an elixir of immortality.
At least one elixir per month is needed to keep the emperor's "appetite" and ensure his existence is meaningful.
"We will depart later to pay our respects to the Emperor."
With that thought, Xi Xingxue turned and went to his alchemy room to begin making elixirs.
Before heading to the alchemy room, Xi Xingxue didn't forget to go back to her room to retrieve the recipe for making fake elixirs from the shelf.
Xie Yin witnessed all of Xi Xingxue's actions.
In the original story, Xie Yin also obtained evidence of Xi Xingxue's production of fake elixirs based on Xi Xingxue's actions, and then used this evidence to threaten Xi Xingxue into working for him.
Xi Xingxue estimated that Xie Yin should have already discovered where the evidence was, which meant that it wasn't long before Xie Yin began to control himself.
An hour later, Xi Xingxue came out of the alchemy room.
The servants paced anxiously at the door, as if they had something to report. As soon as they saw Xi Xingxue come out, they rushed to greet her.
"What happened so urgently?" Xi Xingxue asked.
Because he couldn't be disturbed while he was refining elixirs, the servants could only watch anxiously.
Now he's talking like he's spilling beans.
"That's right, three small border countries have set off for our Great Xia Dynasty. They are expected to arrive in ten days. His Majesty said that two of these countries have heard that Great Xia has a national advisor like you and have come here specifically."
"So whether we can build good relations with them, gain their trust, and turn them into our vassal states depends on whether you, Grand Preceptor, can satisfy them."
Xi Xingxue: "......?"
No, is it reasonable for such a big thing to fall on his shoulders? No, it's not reasonable.
Of course, on the surface, Xi Xingxue remained completely calm and let out a sly laugh, displaying her remarkable ability to manipulate people.
"Okay, I'll make sure they're satisfied."
"Yes, yes, that eunuch just told me to inform the Imperial Advisor to go and discuss with His Majesty the matter of welcoming their envoy in ten days."
“Alright.” Xi Xingxue weighed the elixir in her hand, offering no objection.
Without a doubt, the reason why Xi Xingxue became the Imperial Preceptor was because he suddenly appeared by His Majesty's side.
He once performed some magical arts and gained the emperor's trust.
Then the emperor boasted about his abilities, but unfortunately, no one had ever witnessed them firsthand, and the method of creating elixirs was absurd in their eyes.
This is what made Xi Xingxue a thorn in their side.
If Xi Xingxue truly displays his divine powers at this friendship banquet with the three small countries, then his status and significance will rise to a whole new level, making him a well-deserved and revered national advisor.
Obviously, although the plot states that Qi Jinzhao will find the real people from Lingyun Immortal Mountain to expose Xi Xingxue.
However, Xi Xingxue was prepared to succeed.
After all, his mission is to survive, and if he succeeds, the number of people who want him dead will decrease by more than half.
His actions to change the plot cannot be done openly, but can be done covertly.
This will be attributed to the 'butterfly effect' by the system, and he will not be punished.
Having figured out this pattern, Xi Xingxue is now almost immune to being struck by lightning.
......
Meanwhile, news of the envoy's arrival in the Great Xia Dynasty in ten days had already spread to many people.
In the Crown Prince's Palace—
"Your Highness, the Taoist priest from Lingyun Immortal Mountain, whom you found two months ago, has finally agreed to cooperate with you. He has arrived in the capital and is just waiting for the day he meets the envoy in ten days to expose Xi Xingxue."
"When Xi Xingxue steps down, that Taoist priest will become the new Imperial Preceptor, and the new Imperial Preceptor will be one of your people."
The subordinate said these words to Qi Jinzhao with a slightly excited voice.
