"Rise! This matter is truly not your fault. Emperor Nangong Shenzong has never been subordinate to any country. At that time, you certainly had the right to challenge me."
"I hereby appoint you as the Imperial Physician, to serve me. I hope you will quickly refine the divine elixir to assist me. I guarantee that, apart from me, no one in the entire Dongyue Kingdom will dare to bully you."
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty! I will do my utmost to refine the divine elixir and help Your Majesty enjoy eternal life."
Inside the Prince Yun's mansion, all was quiet.
"His Majesty has bestowed upon Nangong Ce the title of Imperial Physician." Huang Xin said, "That good-for-nothing Nangong Ce actually has some skill. Even in his current predicament, His Majesty is willing to give him the official position of a first-rank imperial physician."
Su Yuntian, who was standing to the side, remained silent.
As Su Mu grew older, like the setting sun, his thirst for the secret to immortality burned ever brighter, like a raging fire.
Su Yi defied her wishes and refused to accept the throne of Dongyue, which further fueled Su Mu's obsession with immortality.
Therefore, he spared no effort to recruit alchemists throughout the country, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, trying to grasp every glimmer of hope for immortality.

According to the imperial physician, if Su Mu hadn't taken a longevity pill back then, he would probably have died from poisoning from consuming large amounts of divine pills over the past few years.
However, how could the imperial physician's earnest advice stop Su Mu's desire for immortality?
Su Yuntian would not try to dissuade Su Mu, since it was precisely because Su Yi refused to accept the throne that Su Mu was so obsessed with immortality and wanted to continue occupying the supreme throne.
Knowing that Su Mu only wanted to achieve immortality and never thought about sitting on the throne, Su Yuntian even secretly hoped that Su Mu would eat more poisonous elixirs and die soon. How could he possibly dissuade Su Mu from staying away from those poisons?
At this moment, Su Yuntian was not worried about Su Mu's life or death; his only concern was Su Yi.
With the emperor of the Southern Shu Kingdom as his maternal grandfather, Su Yi's attempt to take Mu Jin back from him was virtually impossible for Su Yuntian. Killing Su Yi would be even more difficult.
