Li Shimin was somewhat impatient, so he pushed open the door and went straight in.
On the bed, an old man with white hair and beard, so thin that he was just skin and bones, heard the noise and quickly sat up.
"His Majesty!"
"Lie down quickly." Li Shimin was moved. "Shubao, you can't move now. Here, take this pill, we'll talk about business later."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Qin Shubao looked at Li Shimin. "You look like you're eighteen years old. Could it be that I'm about to die and am hallucinating?"
"Marshal, His Majesty has truly regained his youth."
"His Majesty has received a divine favor and has come to save you today. Marshal, please accept the elixir!" the old servant said excitedly from the side.
Qin Shubao was stunned.
He came from a prestigious family and was a disciple of a military family, so how come he lived his whole life without knowing that such an elixir existed?
"Your Majesty, this elixir must be very precious, right?" Qin Shubao hesitated. "I am old and frail, please do not waste it."
"How come I didn't know you had such a fussy side!" Li Shimin was speechless. "Where did the straightforward and decisive Qin Shubao go when he was young?"
After saying that, he threw the Marrow Cleansing Pill directly into Qin Shubao's mouth.
The elixir melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and Qin Shubao felt a warm current flow down his stomach. His originally withered body gradually became strong, and his wrinkled skin was visibly stretched out, restoring it to its youthful appearance, fair and smooth. His withered muscles began to bulge, and what was originally just a skin and bones old man transformed in the blink of an eye into a robust young man.

The old servant was dumbfounded.
This elixir truly lives up to its name!
In just a moment, a person on the verge of death was transformed into a robust young man.
Even though he had expected it, the old servant still felt his heart beating a little fast, and he almost couldn't catch his breath and died.
Upon seeing this, Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder, channeled his inner energy into him, and said, "Go and tell your men to come and pay their respects, so they can get to know our Grand Marshal anew."
"Yes."
The old servant snapped out of his daze, feeling perfectly healthy, and rushed out the door.
"The Marshal has encountered a divine destiny!"
"The Marshal has regained his youth."
A moment later, when the servants in the Qin household saw Qin Shubao walking out of the sickroom, they all froze on the spot.
"So there really are immortals and elixirs in the world."
"The Marshal is incredibly fortunate; His Majesty has bestowed upon him a miraculous elixir!"
"Our Qin family will not fall apart. The Qin family will continue for decades, or even never fall apart."
As servants of the Qin household, they naturally had plenty to eat and drink when Qin Shubao was alive.
If Qin Shubao were to die, their good days would be over.
"Greetings, Marshal!"
Qin Shubao waved his hand: "Get up. Prepare me a clean set of clothes. I will go to the Cheng residence with His Majesty later."
"Yes."
437 A moment.
Qin Shubao, dressed in a blue robe and carrying two maces, looked dashing and followed behind Li Shimin as his bodyguard.
"I told you there's no need to make such a fuss. My current strength is unmatched in the world," Li Shimin said, somewhat speechless.
Qin Shubao shook his head: "How can His Majesty travel without guards? His Majesty is powerful, but he must not lose his manners."
"Fine, whatever you say."
As the two walked down the street, they couldn't help but reminisce about the days when they wandered around Chang'an together in their youth.
As they were reminiscing, they arrived at the Cheng residence.
"Go and inform Cheng Zhijie that Old Li has arrived."
"Yes."
The gatekeeper at Cheng Yaojin's residence was no ordinary person; he had excellent eyesight. Upon seeing Qin Shubao and Li Shimin, he quickly bowed and went to inform them.
After waiting for a while, a series of messy footsteps sounded, and an elderly man with gray hair, a burly figure, and an iron tower-like appearance came out to greet them.
"His Majesty?!"
"Uncle Bao!"
"What are you..."
"The news from the palace is actually true!"
Li Shimin laughed and scolded, "I have already summoned all the officials to an audience, but you, on the other hand, claim to be sick at home and don't even come to see your old friend."
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Cheng Yaojin's eyes reddened, and he was about to kneel down. "I was just afraid of getting involved in something I shouldn't have. Now that I see Your Majesty has regained your youth as rumored, I am relieved."
"Sigh!" Li Shimin knew that Cheng Yaojin's temper had become volatile and frightening after taking the elixir for years, so he quickly grabbed Cheng Yaojin's shoulder and said, "No need to say more, let's go inside and talk."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Call me King Qin!
"Your Majesty...King Qin!"
Upon entering the mansion, Li Shimin did not have Cheng Yaojin dismiss the servants, but instead took out a pill.
"Come, Zhijie, take this pill, and then we can talk."
Cheng Yaojin was stunned: "Could this be an elixir of immortality that can reverse aging?"
“This is called the Marrow Cleansing Pill.” Li Shimin said with great emotion, “Originally, it was just a pill for cultivators to cleanse their bones and improve their aptitude. However, for us mortals, it is a magic pill that can restore youth. Just one pill is enough to restore your youth and live for several more decades.”
"Your Majesty, this is too precious."
"Does this mean our friendship isn't precious?" Li Shimin's face darkened. "Do you also want to be like Uncle Bao, having me stuff food into your mouth?"
"Take your medicine quickly! By the time you regain your youth, we still have several places to visit!"
"Yes."
Cheng Zhijie quickly took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
Then, right before everyone's eyes, Cheng Yaojin quickly became younger, and even his protruding belly gradually shrank and disappeared without a trace.
"The master looks younger too!"
"This is an elixir of immortality!"
The servants of the Cheng family were trembling. "I never thought that the immortals that people talked about really existed. I never imagined that they would actually exist in my lifetime."
"Let's go to the next one."
Half a day.
Li Shimin led Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin to several families, restoring the youth of Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, and Li Shiji.
This caused an uproar throughout Chang'an.
Li Shimin openly restored people to their youth without any attempt to conceal it, and the news spread far faster than anyone could have imagined.
The next day, everyone in Chang'an knew the reason for what had happened.
"An elixir of immortality."
"There truly are immortals. Our Great Tang Dynasty is a land favored by Heaven!"
"Previously, His Majesty even ordered the Ministry of Revenue to promote a type of grain that could yield several thousand catties per mu. I thought it was just boasting. Now it seems to be true. This may be celestial grain bestowed by the immortal realm."
"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
While the people of Chang'an were celebrating, the fates of two people, one inside the palace and one outside, underwent a dramatic change.
"Why did His Majesty suddenly banish me to the Cold Palace?" Wu Meiniang asked, utterly perplexed. "Logically speaking, now that His Majesty has regained his youth, he should be even more fond of beautiful women!"
outside the palace.
A horse-drawn carriage slowly headed towards Sichuan.
Li Zhi sat in the carriage, looking dazed.
"I was clearly my father's most beloved prince, so why did I suddenly fall out of favor? And why was I banished to Shu? This is not fair!"
Of course, he would never dare to say such things aloud; he could only mutter them to himself.
Ever since his father became younger, he felt that the way his father looked at him had changed.
The pampering turned into disdain, and the intimacy was gone.
"What did I do wrong to displease Father Emperor?"
Li Zhi could never have imagined that Li Shimin disliked him simply because of a piece of Tang history.
Royal Garden.
Li Shimin held a grand banquet, where Cheng Zhijie, Li Jing, and others who had been rescued the previous day were seated.
