Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Chapter 76 The Mysterious Taoist Priest Wuchen

Thinking that Su Luoxue hadn't eaten for three days and had so much blood drawn, Xuan Moyin felt so distressed that he kept putting food into her bowl until it was full and there was no more room.

She knew that he felt sorry for her, but in fact, the pills she prepared had replenished her body during the three days she was unconscious, because the herbs she used had been growing in space for thousands or even hundreds of years.

But I was really hungry. After all, I hadn’t eaten for three days, and my stomach had already gone empty.

Uncle Fu didn't know that Miss Su had detoxified the prince, but it was true that Miss Su was hungry, so he asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of delicious food. Su Luoxue was almost full, but dishes were still being served.

"Uncle Fu, that's enough. I'm full. Don't serve me any more food." Su Luoxue looked at the servant who came in with the dishes. Xuan Moyin fed her a large piece of mutton, and she said hesitantly.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go down." Uncle Fu went down with a smile.

Seeing his own prince personally feeding Miss Su, Uncle Fu felt comforted. The prince finally knew how to coax girls and was considerate. It seemed that good things were about to happen in their Regent's Palace.

After dinner, Su Luoxue sat in Zhong Yunxuan and Xuan Moyin's room drinking digestive tea.

"This is for you." Xuan Moyin suddenly half-knelt in front of her, holding a rosewood box in his hand.

"What is this?" Su Luoxue looked at him and asked.

"This is a bracelet my mother left for me. It's a pair. My grandmother put it on my mother personally when she married my father. My mother gave one bracelet to my sister-in-law, the former Crown Princess, and this one is left for my future daughter-in-law. Didn't you all propose with engagement rings in your era? I don't have the ring ready today, so I thought of proposing to you with this bracelet left by my mother." Xuan Moyin said as he took out the bracelet and put it on Su Luoxue's wrist.

Su Luoxue looked at the bracelet on her hand. It was not made of very precious material, but it was very delicate. She reached out and touched the bracelet. She knew that this bracelet must be very precious to Xuan Moyin.

"Okay, I do." Su Luoxue said, and asked Xuan Moyin to stand up. As the regent of the Great Yuan Dynasty, who was extremely powerful, he was willing to kneel on one knee to propose to her. This was impossible in this era.

Xuan Moyin was overjoyed, but he still said to Su Luoxue calmly: "I will tell the emperor about you and me, and I will send the betrothal gifts to the Prime Minister's Mansion soon."

"Will the emperor agree?" Su Luoxue asked.

"I don't need his consent. I just want to inform him that I have an imperial decree of marriage left for me by my father. I just need to fill in the name and date." Xuan Moyin said to Su Luoxue with a smile.

As Xuan Moyin expected, when he told Xuan Jingyu that he wanted to marry Su Luoxue, Xuan Jingyu refused without hesitation.

At first, Xuan Jingyu was stunned. When did his younger brother, who had never been interested in women, suddenly come to his senses and actually wanted to get married?

Later, he firmly opposed it. A woman who almost became his daughter-in-law was now going to marry the regent and become his brother's wife? Wasn't this a joke to the royal family? Was there any moral code left?

However, Xuan Moyin took out the imperial decree of marriage left to him by the late emperor and told him that he was only there to inform him, not to get his permission.

After Xuan Moyin left, Xuan Jingyu was furious and swept away the pile of memorials on the desk in the imperial study, leaving them scattered all over the floor. Eunuch Jiang stood by and trembled, terrified but not daring to make a sound. It was not until the emperor left angrily that Eunuch Jiang tremblingly bent over to pick up the memorials and carefully put them back in place.

Recalling the poison he had given Xuan Moyin three years ago, Xuan Jingyu pondered in his heart. Xuan Moyin had always been cautious and vigilant. He had previously sent many of his men to try to get close to him and look for opportunities, but all of them were quietly eliminated by him.

However, three years ago, he finally found a good opportunity - when Xuan Moyin went to worship the late emperor and his predecessors, Xuan Jingyu took advantage of the opportunity and successfully poisoned the sacrificial wine. At that time, Xuan Moyin kowtowed to his father and mother respectfully and offered three cups of wine in a row, one of which fell into his stomach, and because of this, he was poisoned by the poison that the master had prepared with great difficulty.

That master had asserted that there was no cure for this poison in the world, and Xuan Moyin would definitely die from the poison within five years. Now time had passed, three years had passed, and there were only two years left to achieve the goal, so Xuan Jingyu could still wait patiently.

Thinking of this, Xuan Jingyu walked to a bedroom behind the imperial study, where he usually rested when he was not going to the harem.

After sending the palace servants away, Xuan Moyin walked to the imperial bed, pressed a dragon head on the bedside and turned it gently. A secret door opened, and he turned and walked down. The secret door slowly closed behind him.

Walking down a flight of stairs several meters high, there was a different world inside with bright lights. An old Taoist priest with white hair was sitting in front of an alchemy furnace, concentrating on chanting spells. Xuan Jingyu didn't dare to disturb him and stood quietly beside him.

This Taoist priest was Taoist Wuchen. When Xuan Jingyu was still the fourth prince, the crown prince forced him to abdicate. Taoist Wuchen came to his palace and said that he saw a cloud of yellow gas covering the sky above his palace, which was a sign that he was the true dragon emperor. Taoist Wuchen asked him to kill the crown prince and become the emperor himself. This is how we have today's Emperor Yuanwu.

Later, he kept Taoist Wuchen by his side. Taoist Wuchen knew how to make poisons and pills. The poison given to Xuan Moyin was made by Taoist Wuchen. Taoist Wuchen now makes pills for him that will make him live a hundred years longer. It takes 49 days to make one pill, and the pills are very precious. Moreover, since taking the pills made by the Taoist, Xuan Jingyu felt that he was ten years younger.

As Xuan Jingyu was thinking, he heard a not-so-small roar coming from the alchemy furnace. After a dozen seconds, the roar stopped. Taoist Wuchen stood up, opened the furnace, poured out a golden pill, and walked to Xuan Jingyu: "Your Majesty, this pill has just been successfully refined. Please take it."

Xuan Jingyu took the pill and put it in his mouth. The pill melted in his mouth and penetrated into his heart and lungs with a hint of sweetness. Immediately, Xuan Jingyu felt a warm current flowing through his body, and he felt comfortable all over.

He nodded with satisfaction, "Master, is there anyone who can cure the poison that was given to the Regent three years ago?" Xuan Jingyu asked.

"Your Majesty, there is no antidote for this poison. Even the gods in heaven cannot find an antidote." Wu Chen replied.

"Okay, Taoist Priest, thank you for your hard work." Xuan Jingyu got a satisfactory answer and went up with confidence.

What he didn't know was that when he opened the secret door and left the dark room, Wu Chen gave him a sly and meaningful smile.
