The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

Someone else said in the crowd.

"Maybe, our Majesty has left the harem empty for many years just to wait for the little princess of Xi Chu to grow up."

"The princess is very likely to be my queen of the Southern Kingdom in the future."

"Yeah."

"I look forward to the day when Your Majesty will marry the little princess."

Jiujiu and Dijiang were so blocked that they couldn't go out, so they could only stay in the inn for the time being, handling official business, treating their eyes, and occasionally listening to the comments of the common people.

It sounds pretty interesting.

The corners of Jiujiu's lips curled up.

Di Jiang looked at Jiujiu meaningfully, especially the golden hairpin on Jiujiu's head. She wore that gold hairpin in her latest song, which was a token of love he gave her.

I really want to marry her and go home!

When Di Jiang was ready to go back, he wrote a letter of credence and continued to propose marriage.

.

Dongcang Kingdom.

After Dong Buhan was besieged by Di Jiang and his men, he was finally found guilty of luring outsiders into Dongcang.

All civil and military officials demanded that the crown prince be abolished and a worthy person be established.

Dong Buhan himself also made a mistake and asked to be abolished.

This move can be regarded as appeasing the civil and military officials.

But the second prince died the day after Dong Buhan's invitation was deposed, and a month later, the sixth prince and the seventh prince died one after another.

All died in various accidents.

It seemed like a reasonable accident, but it felt very wrong.

After Dong Buhan was deposed as the crown prince, they were the next candidates for the crown prince. But since they were all dead, the position of crown prince could only be that of Dong Buhan. There was not much difference between Dong Buhan deposed and not deposed.

It’s so lonely!

By the way, do their deaths really have nothing to do with Dong Buhan?

Another month later, Dong Buhan's body was recovered. However, he injured his body one after another, lost a lot of blood, and was seriously injured. Even his immortal body would be affected.

He was unusually pale.

At this moment, he was standing by the window, with his hair loose and wearing a red cloak. The red color made his face even paler.

He stretched out his hand, felt the wind blowing from the west, looked in the west direction, and murmured: "I wonder what she is doing at this time?"

Lan Xueqing watched from the side, feeling sad.

I want to say something, but I can't.

She bit her lip and tightened the sword in her hand.

Dong Buhan continued to lament, "The city without her suddenly felt so deserted." When she was there, every plant, every tree, every flower, was extremely beautiful and moving.

"Your Highness? Take the medicine!" A servant brought the medicine. After Lan Xueqing took it, she handed it to Dong Buhan glumly.

Dong Buhan took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

Lan Xueqing took out the handkerchief and wiped Dong Buhan's mouth while saying, "Your Highness, I believe that the position of crown prince will return to you soon."

"Does this need to be said?" Dong Buhan looked confident.

"Okay, you continue to help keep an eye on me, I'm going out!" Dong Buhan tied up her hair, changed her clothes, took her sword, and went out to Xichu.

A month later, a capable and righteous man suddenly came to Xichu. He was red-robed and white-haired. He could pinch, count, and refine elixirs. He entered the palace to refine elixirs for Emperor Zhaoning in order to live forever.

Emperor Zhaoning trusted him quite a bit!

Jiujiu had returned to Xichu. After hearing about this, she felt something was wrong and went to see her father.

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Zhaoning was currently discussing the strategy of immortality with this capable and righteous man, Taoist Xifeng.

After being informed, Jiujiu walked in and looked at the Xifeng Taoist. For some reason, she would always associate Xifeng Taoist with Dong Buhan.

But when she saw Taoist Xifeng, she doubted whether she was wrong.

Because this Taoist West Wind is completely different from Dong Buhan.

First, they look different.

Secondly, the personalities are different.

Dong Buhan is the kind of man who has a demonic and evil spirit in his bones, but this Taoist from Xifeng is upright and looks serious.

Are these two people really two people?

Ninety-nine questions!

"Jiujiu, this Xifeng Taoist can make my father live forever." Emperor Zhaoning looked excited.

If he could live forever, he could be with his daughter for a long, long time. Maybe, he could also be with his daughter's children and grandchildren.

"Father, the art of immortality is pure nonsense." Jiujiu advised: "Don't be deceived by this person."

Even though he was different from Dong Buhan, Jiujiu didn't believe this person.

[The so-called elixir of life was marked in later books as containing highly toxic substances. 】

[It cannot make people live forever, it will only kill people. 】

[How should Jiujiu persuade his father? 】

[After all, if you don’t experience this kind of thing yourself, you won’t believe it. 】

After Emperor Zhaoning heard Jiujiu's voice, he was willing to believe Jiujiu. Jiujiu would not harm him and Jiujiu would sincerely consider him. But immortality was also a great temptation for him.

He thought for a while and said: "Taoist Xifeng, how do you prove that you can really make the elixir of life? Can someone live forever after taking your medicine?"

"Yes!" Taoist Xifeng said, "But I will only tell His Majesty one person about this matter and prove it to one person."

Emperor Zhaoning glanced at Jiujiu and said, "Okay!"

After finding a secluded place, Taoist Xifeng took the initiative to ask for a dagger, and then stabbed the dagger into his heart, stabbing him several times in a row. Emperor Zhaoning was stunned.

However, Taoist Xifeng's face was just a little pale, and there was no sign of immediate death. He said: "Your Majesty, you can find someone to check your pulse. I have no pulse, but I won't die."

"I just need to rest for one night and I'll wake up tomorrow."

Taoist Xifeng fainted after speaking.

Emperor Zhaoning called in a trusted imperial doctor to check his pulse. It was true that he had no pulse and that he was dead. The sword wounds on his heart were not fake. They were real injuries to vital parts.

However, the next day, Taoist Xifeng came back to life. Except for his pale face, everything seemed normal and his pulse was normal.

Taoist Xifeng also said: "I am an immortal, but I can live forever." Immortality is real, but immortality is a lie.

But if you think about it, you may believe it!

Sure enough, Emperor Zhaoning believed it and no longer had any doubts. He excitedly asked Taoist Xifeng to help him refine the elixir for immortality. He also met all the requirements of Taoist Xifeng.

However, the first request made by Taoist Xifeng was, "Your Majesty, I request to marry the princess according to Taoism."

"As long as you can marry the princess to Pindao, Pindao will help you and your loved ones seek immortality."

Will Emperor Zhaoning respond to this matter?
