"Some time ago, the emperor sent me to various places to look for elixirs for longevity. The emperor said that since the little princess's master is a god, there must be other gods in this world."

The queen shouted angrily, "Ridiculous!"

The imperial physician swallowed back his words before he finished speaking. In fact, he was also at fault in this matter.

At that time, the entire Imperial Hospital could not find any problems with the pill, so the emperor took it.

The duration of taking this medicine is at most half a month.

But now I think it may not be a problem with the pill.

The queen had already determined in her heart that the problem must be with the elixir.

Just at this time, the emperor slowly woke up. He turned his head weakly and saw the queen's back and the imperial doctors kneeling on the ground.

"What's wrong with me?"

When the queen heard the voice, she quickly turned around and saw that the emperor had woken up and went forward to help him.

"Your Majesty, you vomited blood and fainted after the morning court session, and you just woke up now."

The emperor then remembered that he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest after the morning court session. When he tried to cough, blood spurted out. Then everything went black and he remembered nothing.

The Queen asked with a slightly choked voice, "I heard from the Imperial Physician that the Emperor took some longevity pills?

These are all scams. How can there be any problems after taking this kind of medicine? "

The emperor shook his head and said, "It cannot be said that it is the problem of the pill. After taking the pill, I do feel much better."

The queen looked at him angrily: "If it is really a good thing, you said you have always been in good health, how come you suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma?"

The emperor was also struggling at this time. He remembered that when he took the pill, he really felt like he was floating in the air.

Because I often stayed up late to review memorials, my body gradually felt heavy and weak.

But after taking the pill, he felt as light as a swallow, as if he had returned to his youth.

"Xiao Dezi, go find that Taoist priest for me, cough cough..."

When Xiao Dezi heard this, he hurried to find the Taoist priest who was still enjoying himself in the palace.

This Taoist priest is from the Xianfu Taoist Temple, which is more than 600 miles away from the capital. Many people said that after using the talisman water in the Taoist temple, almost all their diseases were cured.

He also heard that there was some elixir that could prolong life. The emperor was old, and thinking that the prince was still young, he naturally wanted to live a few more years.

I can also watch the little prince get married and have grandchildren.

In just half an incense stick of time, Xiao Dezi and the Taoist priest hurried over.

The Taoist priest walked hurriedly, but there was a look of fear on his face.

Of course he knows what he is selling.

It was understandable that it could deceive the common people and the nobles, but I never thought that such a thing would be favored by the emperor.

When someone came to find me, I just thought that he was the master of a wealthy family who wanted to find this elixir.

It's okay to take one or two of these pills, but if you take too much, the consequences will be disastrous.

The Queen also asked someone to invite Su Muyao over. After all, the little guy's master was a deity, so he was believed to understand the situation to some extent.

Su Muyao went to her parents' courtyard and asked them to take a longevity pill each. Just as she was about to return to her room, a eunuch from the palace came over and said that the queen wanted to talk to her in the palace.

The little girl nodded and asked on the way if there was anything wrong.

The eunuch told Su Muyao everything that happened to the emperor, and the little girl became furious.

What I was thinking in my heart was that this old bastard was really no different from other emperors, they all wanted immortality.

Tsk tsk tsk, it’s really too enjoyable to sit in a high position for so long that I don’t want to die anymore.

When Su Muyao rushed to the palace, she saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest being beaten to death. She thought this must be the swindler who tricked the emperor into taking the elixir!

The emperor leaned weakly on the bed, looked at the little girl and waved, "Yaoyao is here, come to your uncle quickly."

Su Muyao looked at the dying emperor and cursed, "You are so stupid. If you want a longevity pill, why don't you just ask me if I have one?

You deserve it for having to go out and look for poison."

The emperor's eyes lit up at this time: "Yaoyao, you said you have a longevity pill.

Ah, yes, you have a divine master, so how could you not have those elixirs, hehe!"

He was laughing as he said this.

"Eat, eat, eat, don't be afraid of being eaten to death. Now that one foot has stepped into the hell, you are still thinking about the longevity pill."

As soon as Su Muyao finished speaking, the queen beside her became anxious.

"Yaoyao, see if there is any way to save the emperor. Look at the state he is in. Sigh."

Su Muyao nodded, took out a bottle of water from her sleeve and handed it over.

When the emperor saw this, what else did he need to say? It was the magic water. He drank it all without saying anything.

After drinking it, there is a cool feeling, and the whole person will quickly become energetic.

The Queen also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Emperor's lip color had returned to normal.

Eunuch De at the side asked in a low voice: "The young princess said that the pill was a poison pill, what does that mean?"

The emperor stared at the little girl without blinking, wondering how she knew it was poison without even looking at the pill.

Fortunately, I didn't ask, otherwise I would have been scolded by the little girl again.

Su Muyao thought back to the ancient elixirs she had heard about before. They all contained lead, aconite...

Red lead is an orange-red opaque substance that is not very toxic in itself, but if taken in large quantities and for a long time, it can cause lead poisoning and cause serious harm to human health.

Also, Aconitum is a traditional Chinese medicine. If used improperly, it can cause nervous system poisoning and even coma.

And Gelsemium elegans, also known as "Gelsemium elegans", is a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family.

The leaves of this annual vine can cause severe abdominal pain, as if your liver and intestines are being torn apart, if eaten accidentally.

The reason why people feel a lot more relaxed after taking the pill is that it contains mercuric sulfide (cinnabar): mercuric sulfide is the common name for mercury sulfide, which is mercury, a highly toxic substance.

Cinnabar was used as the main raw material for alchemy in ancient times. If taken properly, it can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, clear the liver and improve eyesight, and even treat chronic mental illness.

But if taken in excess, it can cause lead poisoning that is difficult to cure.

Once the ancients tasted the effects of this pill, they would think it was a magical elixir and would basically spend a huge amount of money to take it for a long time. However, once taken for a long time, people would be not far from death.

After Su Muyao explained the details of the incident, the Taoist priest, who was lying on the ground with a bloody mess, suddenly looked up at Su Muyao.

No one knows about this, how come this little kid knows so much.

He started from scratch with this skill, and basically everyone who has eaten it says that it is good.

But due to its high price, not everyone can afford it.

Some people eat it once or twice and stop eating it because it is too expensive.
