Chapter 381 Immortality
Lin Pianran decided to strike first and kill the enemy she had targeted.
She called Jingyu over and whispered, "Go tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stop Princess Rongyang from returning to the court at all costs. She must not be allowed to enter the capital even once."
"Also, I would like to remind His Highness that Princess Rongyang has been recuperating in her fiefdom for so many years. Her strength should not be underestimated. She must have trained a large number of private soldiers. Ask him to send more men. Do not underestimate the enemy."
"Hasn't General Wei Zixing been helping Your Highness from behind? If possible, you could ask him to come forward personally."
"Yes, miss."
He responded with a series of surprised words.
Looking in the direction of the imperial palace, Lin Pianran felt speechless and a little gloating.
Soon, the drama of the quarrel between Emperor Wu of Qin and Chen Lihua will begin!
After more than 20 years of hatred, this matter cannot be resolved unless several people die.
Lin Pianran really wanted to see who would win in the contest between them.
Fortunately, Lin Pianran asked Huo Yuchen to keep the affair between Prince Zhao and Chen Lihua a secret from Emperor Wu of Qin. Otherwise, in the battle between Emperor Wu of Qin and Chen Lihua, Emperor Wu of Qin would have stood on the commanding heights of morality and etiquette and directly crushed Chen Lihua.
The excitement of the battle will definitely be greatly reduced.
Now, the two can be said to be evenly matched, and who will be the winner in the end depends on their own abilities.
Not long after, Jingyu walked into the room again, his face looking very solemn. Lin Pianran knew at a glance that something big had happened again.
I couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Jingyu frowned slightly, and her expression revealed a solemnity.
"Just now, news came from the palace that Emperor Wu of Qin has summoned three more alchemists to the palace. So far, there are about a dozen alchemists gathered in the palace, but Emperor Wu of Qin is still actively searching for more alchemists among the people to enter the capital."
"There's also news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that recently, Emperor Wu of Qin has been assigning many memorials to him, completely neglecting state affairs and not even paying a second glance at the concubines in the harem. He spends a lot of time every day staying in the alchemy room with the alchemists, often staying there for hours..."
Emperor Wu of Qin is really getting more and more foolish as he gets older. He is simply not knowing how to live or die. Sooner or later, he will suffer the consequences of his actions and end up in a bad way...
The large group of alchemists summoned by Emperor Wu of Qin worked day and night to help him refine the elixir of immortality. Emperor Wu of Qin had to take at least one pill every day in an attempt to defy fate and prolong his life.
In addition, he also announced to the world that he was looking for extraordinary people in the world who could refine elixirs and prolong life.
Emperor Wu of Qin's obsession with the elixir of immortality has been growing recently, which has a lot to do with his aging body and declining energy.
Lin Pianran simply scoffed at Emperor Wu of Qin's behavior.
The more of those so-called elixirs made by the alchemists he consumed, not only would he not be able to achieve immortality, but he would also die faster...
Considering his already weakening body, how much longer can he endure this?
Most people may not know what the ingredients of those elixirs are, but Lin Pianran knows it very well.
The "immortal pill" is made from minerals such as mercury, sulfur, and lead, and is refined at high temperature in an alchemy furnace.
According to historical records, many emperors died of poisoning after taking "magic pills" containing mercury and lead.
It now seems that there will soon be another Emperor Wu of Qin.
Regarding the matter of Emperor Wu of Qin taking the "immortal pill", Lin Pianran also asked Huo Yuchen to turn a blind eye and not to interfere, let alone to give advice and dissuade him.
Let Emperor Wu of Qin bring about his own destruction step by step!
Dig a hole for yourself and bury yourself!
Jing Yu added, "Emperor Wu of Qin has recently not only taken the 'immortal pill' himself, but has also frequently given it to his ministers as a reward."
"Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was rewarded with two 'Immortal Pills', General Bai was rewarded with three 'Immortal Pills', and other important ministers were also rewarded with 'Immortal Pills'."
Lin Pianran was so angry that she almost laughed. It would have been fine if Emperor Wu of Qin had just wanted to die, but he actually wanted to harm others.
It's so stupid.
Lin Pianran even wanted to capture Emperor Wu of Qin and beat him up so that he would stop doing things that hurt others and himself.
Lin Pianran let Jingyu lean over and whispered, "Have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Bai quietly throw away all the 'immortal pills' they were given. No one should know about throwing away the imperial gifts, and they must not be consumed by anyone."
"Yes, ma'am, I will follow your instructions."
After Jingyu received the order, he left in a hurry.
At this moment, Han Chaolin rushed into the yard like a gust of wind, with a look of excitement on his face.
"Little sister, we've made some progress on those barbarians you asked me to investigate a few days ago. They've been wandering around Qingshi Town for two days and haven't shown any unusual behavior. It's probably because they just arrived in the Central Plains, and many things are unfamiliar to them."
"So, these people are like country bumpkins coming to the city, with no experience at all. If they see something delicious, they will try it, and if they see something interesting, they will buy some..."
"The secret guards followed them the entire time, but they didn't see them connecting or meeting with anyone."
"But, just now, the secret guards came to report that those barbarians sneaked into the capital last night and then quietly entered the Prince Duan's Mansion. They haven't come out since then..."
As for Prince Duan, it was actually within expectations.
Anyway, the most ambitious ones now are only the two princes, Prince Qi and Prince Duan, while the other princes are all insignificant.
Originally, Lin Pianran was more inclined to believe that Prince Qi was colluding with the barbarians, but she didn't expect it was Prince Duan.
It was a bit of a surprise.
I don’t know if these barbarians and the Wuheng people who are about to go on a diplomatic mission to the Qin State are from the same group?
This requires further observation.
Lin Pianran had a strong premonition that they were most likely not from Wuheng, but were sent by other countries. As for their purpose of coming to the Great Qin Kingdom, they could only investigate further.
We can only keep a close eye on Prince Duan's Mansion and see if they take any further action.
"Third brother, have someone pass the message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and have them keep a close eye on the movements at Prince Duan's Mansion at all costs."
"Maybe they will implement further plans soon."
Han Chaolin also agreed with Lin Pianran's statement and nodded with a smile.
"I have a feeling that something big is going to happen in the capital during this period. It will definitely be very lively."
Lin Pianran smiled with a mocking look on her face.
Even the third brother could feel that something big was going to happen, but Emperor Wu of Qin, as an emperor, was so slow and had no sense of crisis at all.
He also seeks the Tao all day long, pursuing immortality.
It's totally incomprehensible.
