Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Li who was in a daze, and didn't seem to be dissatisfied with the fact that Han Li didn't answer his questions.
He just slowly sat up straight, tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, and waited quietly for Han Li to speak.
After a while, Han Li came back to his senses.
He finally understood.
The emperor is asking himself to make elixir!
Although he had only met the Emperor once, and this time only twice, Han Li already knew his situation very well. Or to put it another way, he knew the Emperor's attitude towards him.
His Majesty wants to use himself to do some of the things that the emperor wants to do, but he just needs to pretend that it is him, Old Han, who does it.
It has been like this since His Majesty changed his name and established his sect.
Now he asked me whether I could refine the elixir of immortality. In fact, he was not asking at all, but pointing out that I should refine the elixir of immortality.
Although Han Li understood it in his heart, there was one thing he didn't understand, which was what exactly was this elixir of immortality?
If what I refine is not what His Majesty wants, then my fate will definitely be miserable.
Now I am under house arrest here, enjoying good food and drink. If His Majesty the Emperor is not satisfied with what I have refined, I probably won't even be treated like a prisoner.
Thinking of this, Han Li spoke directly, "Your Majesty, I wonder if the elixir of immortality you mentioned is the same as the elixir I can refine. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
After hearing Han Li's words, Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly.
As expected of a street swindler, he had a quick reaction and strong adaptability, and he understood his situation in such a short time.
But this is also good, having someone who can do things saves me from talking too much.
"The elixir of immortality that I asked you to refine is a medicine that can prolong life. Although it cannot really make people immortal, it can strengthen the body." Zhu Youxiao said slowly.
Han Li listened to Zhu Youxiao's words and seemed to be thinking about something.
As a Taoist who has been doing chivalrous (keng) and fighting for justice (guai) in the martial arts world for many years, although he cannot be considered a real Taoist, he still knows some basic tricks, otherwise he would have been exposed long ago.
He also knew some simple medical skills. Of course, the medical skills here meant that he could make pills, such as hawthorn pills.
However, he doesn't know how to actually refine pills!
"Your Majesty, the elixir of immortality that I know of also has this effect. However, I don't know if your Majesty's recipe is better than mine. Could you please give me the recipe?" Han Li said this cautiously.
In fact, Han Li already had a plan in mind. If it really didn't work, he would just use hawthorn pills to fool people.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Li and nodded slightly.
He also knew that Han Li didn't know how to refine pills at all, but it didn't matter, because he wouldn't eat the pills he refined anyway.
As for the recipe for the elixir, although I don't have it, there is no shortage of recipes for making elixirs of immortality in this world. I can just send someone to get one for me.
Gently standing up, Zhu Youxiao ordered, "I will have someone prepare the recipe for the elixir."
After saying this, Zhu Youxiao turned around and walked out.
As he walked, he instructed Chen Hong, "Have someone prepare the furnace for refining the elixir, and assign a few people to help Taoist Han. Once the elixir formula arrives, start refining the elixir immediately."
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Chen Hong quickly said, "I'll do it right away."
In fact, Chen Hong was also very worried.
Chen Hong knew Han Li's background very well. He was just a charlatan.
Now the emperor has asked this liar to refine pills. Who would dare to eat the pills he refines?
I'm afraid it's poison?
Does the emperor want to eat?
Chen Hong shook his head.
Han Li knew about this matter, and the emperor naturally knew it very clearly, not to mention that the whole thing was arranged by the emperor himself.
How could the emperor possibly eat the pill made by Han Li?
So... who is this pill for?
It can't be that he is just refining it for fun, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Hong stopped suddenly.
He knew he couldn't think about it anymore, or he would die.
After walking out of the yard where Han Li was, Zhu Youxiao stretched lazily.
There is no such thing as a peaceful life. It's just my own conspiracy.
Thinking of this sentence and its original meaning, Zhu Youxiao smiled helplessly.
Inside the palace, Zhu Youxiao was thinking about refining the elixir, while outside the palace there was chaos.
The Donglin Party was facing a major crisis, and this was something all Donglin Party members knew.
The purpose of today's gathering is to resolve this issue and come up with a solution.
So this time all the leaders of the Donglin Party in the capital were present, including the Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing, the Vice Minister of Works Zhao Nanxing, and Gao Panlong, the initiator of the gathering.
Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian were quarantined at home, so it was naturally impossible for them to come.
Apart from these people, neither Han Yu, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, nor Sun Chengzong, the emperor's teacher, were present.
In fact, the Donglin Party did not intend to invite these two people.
In comparison, although Han Yu and Sun Chengzong were members of the Donglin Party, their involvement with the Donglin Party was relatively shallow. They could only be regarded as peripheral members, not core members at all.
The discussion went well among the group and they reached a consensus.
Compromise was impossible on this matter. They had different views from Han Yu, and if they compromised this time, there would be no turning back.
