The door of the Purple Palace was slowly opened from the outside, and the person who came was none other than Nangong Ce. As the imperial physician of Su Yu, he could enter and leave the Purple Palace freely.

Nangong Ce slowly walked up to Su Yuntian and bowed, "King Yun."

Su Yuntian looked over and said, "I heard that Nangong Divine Sect can cure all incurable diseases in this world. Is that true?"

Nangong Ce said: "The world is so big, there are countless diseases, and it is impossible to say that there is a cure. I can only say that in the past few hundred years, the diseases that Nangong Shenzong encountered happened to be the ones that they could cure."

Nangong Ce's words were conservative, but to a certain extent they also showed that Nangong Shenzong could cure any disease that had ever appeared in this world.

"There is only a fine line between saving people and harming them. I wonder if your skill in making poisons is as good as this life-saving elixir, Sect Master Nangong?"

Hearing this, Nangong Ce's heart was shocked, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he calmly asked, "What does King Yun want me to do?"

Su Yuntian glanced at Su Yu lying on the dragon bed with a deep gaze, and continued: "This king does not want to wait any longer! In the near future, this king will succeed to the throne of Dongyue. After inheriting the throne, the first thing this king will do is to go to war with the Southern Shu Kingdom."

Nangong Ce lived in Su Yuntian's mansion for a period of time before he entered the palace. When he was hunted down by the people of Nangong Divine Sect and had nowhere to go, it was Su Yuntian who found him.

One of the reasons why he accepted Su Yuntian was that they had a common enemy, Su Yi. After all, Su Yi had been enemies with him because Mu Jin helped Nangong Min return to Nangong Divine Sect.

Su Yuntian placed him in the Yunwang Mansion, naturally with conditions, that is, to let him gain Su Yu's trust, and then use elixirs to control Su Yu, and then help Su Yuntian seize the throne. When Su Yuntian ascended the throne, he would also help him take back the Nangong Divine Sect.

However, he had not expected that Su Yuntian's ambition was so great. In order to leave Su Yi with no way out, he not only wanted to seize the throne of Dongyue Kingdom, but also coveted the entire Southern Shu Kingdom.

But at this time, the Kingdom of Dongyue was just a country that was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The brief peace at this moment was also obtained at the cost of ceding land to the Kingdom of Beiqi.

With the current strength of the Dongyue Kingdom, attacking the powerful Nanshu Kingdom is simply seeking death!

"Go to war with the Kingdom of Southern Shu?" Nangong Ce looked at Su Yuntian with an expression of disbelief.

However, facing Nangong Ce's surprise, Su Yuntian just sneered and said, "Don't look at me like that. To tell you the truth, even if I don't send troops, Su Yi will not let me go. A battle with Yue Shu is inevitable."

At this point, Su Yuntian looked at Nangong Ce and said, "So this king hopes that you can help me refine a poison that can play a huge role on the battlefield and make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness in a short period of time."

"Of course, it would be even better if it could be as contagious as the plague and difficult to cure. I wonder if you have the ability to do that?"

"It's a bit difficult." Nangong Ce said so, but there was no embarrassment on his face. This meant he wanted to negotiate terms with Su Yuntian.

"What do you want?" Su Yuntian certainly knew what Nangong Ce was thinking.

Nangong Ce bowed deeply to Su Yuntian and said, "I hope that after conquering the Southern Shu Kingdom, King Yun can help me obtain the Nangong Divine Sect and the five cities around it."

The five cities near Nangong Shenzong were under the jurisdiction of the counties of Dongyue, Nanshu and Xiliang. Although these were small cities located in the border areas, it was not easy to capture them.

Nangong Ce dared to put forward such harsh conditions, and his ambition was imaginable. However, since he dared to make such a request, it meant that he would definitely give Su Yuntian what he wanted. So Su Yuntian asked: "So, can you make the poison that I want?"

Nangong Ce nodded and replied: "If King Yun can meet my needs, then I can not only successfully develop the poison you need, but as long as you are willing, I can even refine a kind of elixir that can make the soldiers of Dongyue Kingdom improve their internal strength by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, as if they are tireless and brave, and their fighting power is invincible."

Su Yuntian was shocked when he heard this: "Does this magical elixir really exist in the world?"

Nangong Ce raised his lips slightly and responded softly: "Of course, but the life span of those who take this pill will be greatly affected, and it is unlikely that they will live long." Hearing this, Su Yuntian frowned, looked at Nangong Ce with a puzzled look, and asked: "Not long? Why is this so?"

Nangong Ce nodded slightly, and then said: "Yes, just like the emperor's current situation."

Hearing this, Su Yuntian couldn't help but be stunned. His gaze slowly shifted to Su Yu beside him. After a little thought, he suddenly understood something.

Su Yuntian smiled softly and said to Nangong Ce: "That's great. When I need them, they are valuable. Once they lose their usefulness, keeping them is just a waste of food."

After saying that, Su Yuntian turned his gaze to Nangong Ce again and continued to ask: "So, how long will it take to develop these two kinds of elixirs?"

Nangong Ce replied: "Half a month is enough."

After hearing this, Su Yuntian showed a satisfied look on his face, nodded slightly, and said: "Very good! I promise you that as long as I can successfully seize the land of Southern Shu, I will agree to all the conditions you proposed."

After hearing this, Nangong Ce bowed to Su Yuntian and said, "Thank you, King Yun!"

Su Yuntian slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on Su Yu who was lying on the dragon bed. Su Yu had his eyes closed tightly, as if he was asleep, but his gray face seemed to indicate that he would not live long.

Su Yuntian reached out his hand and stroked Su Yu's brows, which were only slightly wrinkled due to his best efforts, and said, "Father, I know you are awake and heard what I said. I wonder what you think of my plan?"

Then, he paused for a moment, his eyes flashing with a cold light, as sharp as a cold star, and continued: "When the time is right, I will personally behead Su Yi and his grandfather, and annex Dongyue and Nanshu in one fell swoop!"

"Within ten years, I will sweep across the world and unify the entire Chinese land! By then, you will surely be happy for your son even in your netherworld!" After Su Yuntian finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh wildly again.

Nangong Ce looked at Su Yuntian who was so crazy, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. They were the same kind of people, so they naturally understood each other's thoughts.

"King Yun, there are still two days before the Emperor can take the Puppet Pill."

"Two days?" Su Yuntian's mouth twitched slightly, as if smiling, "Time flies so fast. After returning from Beiqi, the embroiderer in the mansion has started to make my dragon robe. I heard that it will be completed today."

Nangong Ce smiled and said, "Then I congratulate Your Majesty in advance on the fulfillment of your long-cherished wish."
