The secret guard was shocked: "What magic?"
"A magical technique that can make people unhappy." Lu Yunxi spoke in a flat tone, like a robot.
Looking at his expression of doubting life, she was almost rolling around laughing in her heart.
After a long pause, he wrote it down on the list and continued to ask, "How long have you been practicing immortal arts?"
"Three months."
"Why do you want to practice immortal arts?"
"So that I don't have to have children."
The secret guard was shocked: "No need to give birth to a child?"
"Yes, I didn't want to have children, but my parents insisted that I do. I heard that immortals can't have children, so I went to learn immortal magic!"
…
Afterwards, the secret guard asked many questions one after another, and she just made up some random answers.
Until the secret guard asked, "Can you cure the disease?"
Lu Yunxi seemed to realize something.
Could it be that the Emperor was so anxious to find a monk just to cure his illness? But, what illness could it be? Is it worth him spending so much money and testing so carefully?
The more she thought about it, the more strange it became. Her eyes flashed, "No! But the Pill Hall sells pills. Many diseases can be cured there!"
"Pills?!" The secret guard was delighted, but soon his face turned disappointed. "Aren't pills only for those who have practiced immortal arts?"
"Not really... many elixirs can be taken by mortals as well." Lu Yunxi explained.
The secret guard nodded, wrote down all her information, and left immediately.
Lu Yunxi's spiritual consciousness followed him all the way to the palace, which was still that familiar place.
The emperor sat at the table and took only two or three bites of the food before he could eat no more.
He leaned back in his chair with a melancholy expression.
She hadn't looked closely before and just thought that he was worried about something, but now she saw that the emperor always had this expression, and there was definitely something wrong!
Compared to others, the emperor has no worries about food and drink, a harem overflowing with beauties, friendly relations with neighboring countries, and a clean domestic political system. He can be said to be a winner in life! Why would he be so upset that he can't eat?!
Is there some psychological problem...
Just as Lu Yunxi was muttering, the secret guard reported excitedly: "Your Majesty! Great news! The information you've been searching for for so long finally has a clue!"
The emperor's eyes lit up: "Tell me quickly! Does that girl know medical skills? Can she cure my stubborn illness?"
"Although this girl doesn't know any medical skills, she said that elixirs can cure diseases. Mortals can also take immortal elixirs, but they need to be examined by an immortal doctor first."
After hearing this, the emperor frowned and paced around the room: "But if I leave, there will be no one to take over the throne!"
He held his forehead and said, "Our country is originally a tiny country, not a big country like the one next door. When the big countries around us were at war, no one bothered to fight us! Even the emperor of such a big country next door just quit, leaving only a prince with weak legs and feet! Now most of my ministers have left..."
If he could completely let go of this burden, he would be relieved, but what about the rest of the people? Wouldn't they be exhausted to death?!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get a little anxious: "No! We still have to continue holding the imperial examinations and recruit more people to work!"
The secret guard was speechless for a long while before he said, "Your Majesty, the place where immortal arts are taught is not far from us. It only takes half a month to get there by carriage. There are people selling elixirs there. Let's go and take a look! It's only a month's journey round trip!"
The emperor pondered for a while, but was moved: "I need to deal with things here, let's wait a few days."
After hearing their mysterious words, Lu Yunxi became more and more curious.
Looking at the emperor's complexion, there seems to be nothing wrong with him, except that he looks a little paler and has dark circles under his eyes... But I heard that the emperor himself is a workaholic, so this is not surprising!
It was not until midnight, when the emperor fell asleep, that Lu Yunxi went to take his pulse in person.
Feeling the pulse at her fingertips, she suddenly fell silent...
The next day, early in the morning.
The secret guard was strolling on the street, his eyes scanning the snacks around him.
The emperor wanted to eat something fresh, but he had just eaten steamed buns yesterday, dumplings the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday...
Just when he was worried, he suddenly noticed a mysterious old man.
The old man's white clothes fluttered in the wind, his long hair and beard fluttered in the wind, and white clouds floated under his feet, as if he was about to be blown away by the wind.
The secret guard was stunned.
Isn't this an immortal?!
He dared to say that if immortals really existed, they would definitely look like this!
Thinking of this, he was suddenly surprised and happy.
What a wonderful pillow! Last night, the Emperor said it would be great if an immortal appeared here! Today, I met such an old immortal!
He didn't care about the fresh breakfast the emperor requested and ran over in a hurry.
"Old Immortal!" he shouted in surprise.
The old man paused as he stroked his beard, and twitched his lips unconsciously: "Don't call me old immortal!"
"But you are the old immortal!" The secret guard was puzzled.
The old man's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything for a long time. He just smiled and said, "Young man, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Old Immortal, what brings you here? I have some influence in the capital. If you need help, you can ask me for it!" The secret guard's eyes sparkled, and he wished that the old immortal would ask him for help so that he could tell him his request.
"Me... well, I'm here for some experience. This is my first time in this country. If possible, could you please take me to try some local food?" The old immortal tilted his head, as if thinking. "I don't have any other requirements, I just like to eat."
