"Don't be anxious. You are now in the center of the village, in the largest courtyard. At this moment, a voice rings in your heart..."

"Okay, okay!"

"My dear Emperor, now is your third test. If you can answer this question, you will be able to meet the Elf Queen, gain the method of eternal life, and become the eternal king of this world!"

"Yes, okay!" The emperor was a little excited.

"Listen, a devil wants to deceive you. He will put two jars in front of you. There are two pieces of paper in them. One says eternal life, and the other says death. He will let you choose one, and you can only choose one. If you choose the one that says eternal life, then you will escape the devil's pursuit and you will certainly be able to gain eternal life."

"But if you choose the jar that says death, then you will die."

"Do you think this is too difficult? No, this is not the most difficult thing, because the devil does not want you to have eternal life. So, the two envelopes both say death. What should you do?"

Qin Qiong spoke softly. She was a little sleepy. She wanted to finish what she said quickly and then remind the emperor, and then she fell asleep.

"I know!"

The emperor said this all of a sudden, scaring Qin Qiong. No way, it’s almost time. What should she do if she gets the answer wrong? Should she knock him out again?

"Have you... have you thought it through? You need to think about it carefully. If you answer wrong, then..."

"I know"

The emperor was a little nervous, but still spoke firmly and began to touch around again.

Qin Qiong had no choice. If the emperor was too excited, he might wake up. She had to gently hold down his hand and whispered in his ear, "Okay, tell me, how do you choose between the two jars? They are exactly the same."

"I know. I will choose one and eat the note inside... Then the other one will contain death, and the one I chose will be eternal life. That's all."

Qin Qiong...

"Damn, he's really a venomous snake!" she cursed in her heart.

This guy had to think about the previous questions for a while and asked for help. He answered this tricky question in less than a second. He is really... a politician.

"...You are really, so smart!"

"Then you can get a moon flower, and you will set off to the Elf Forest to meet the Queen, who will also tell you how to gain eternal life."

"I'll go now. I can go right away," the emperor said anxiously.

"Oh... my dear emperor, before you go there, you must make the necessary preparations. You must know that you are the first person in the past hundred years who can go there and obtain the method of eternal life. Of course, it is not that easy to go there."

"What? Well, then what else am I supposed to do?"

"Your servant, have you found your servant? This person is very important. Without him, even if you know the method, you cannot obtain eternal life. So... where is your servant?"

"Well...I, I have many choices."

"No, my lord, this man must be very strong and very capable. He is bearing the suffering for you. If he is not strong, he will soon die of weakness. If he does not have extraordinary abilities, the devil may soon take him away."

"Then, there will be no one to protect you from the vicissitudes of life, illness, and all kinds of harm and death in this world. So, you must think carefully..."

"Well...I, I."

In order to stop the emperor from getting anxious, Qin Qiong had to use the little scorpion again...

The next day, the emperor was walking around the palace like an ant on a hot pot. Qin Qiong had been repeating the name "Fu Ye" in the emperor's ear for half the night. At this time, she was a little sleepy, but it was not easy to fall asleep directly, so she had to yawn all the time.

Because of the assassination that night, the palace's security was much tighter, and Doctor Wang could no longer bring Mao Li in. However, Doctor Wang could come in, so Qin Qiong still heard some news from him.

Mr. Gao said that the things arranged by the sect leader have already begun.

Mr. Gao asked, when will the leader leave the palace?

After hearing this, Qin Qiong closed her eyes and lay down. It was not that she had not thought about how to escape, but it was a bit irresponsible to leave at this time.

She came in on a whim, although... she didn't care about life or death, but who would risk death to act like a hero? It's just...

"I understand. I will be careful."

She finally said to Doctor Wang, although Doctor Wang looked like he was saying "it's none of my business".

The emperor finished his morning court and summoned Fu Ye. Qin Qiong was just about to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden at this time. The two met outside the palace. As they passed each other, Qin Qiong whispered, "Show your loyalty once again."

Fu Ye stood there in a daze for a moment.

Qin Qiong didn't stay in the Imperial Garden for long, because Eunuch Xi came to find her soon. Eunuch Xi said that the emperor was very worried about Empress Qin walking around outside alone, so it would be safer for her to stay in the emperor's palace.

So, before Qin Qiong could show off his power in this beautiful garden, he was called back.

In fact, she went there to collect folk songs. She really couldn't imagine what the moonflower should look like. Should it be yellow?

How to continue making up the story... She was troubled.

At the same time, she had some things to retrieve. The weapons she used that day certainly could not be moved directly into the emperor's bedroom with her, so she had to put them in the imperial garden first. Now, she just happened to take them back.

In the evening, the emperor took the medicine early as expected, and pulled Qin Qiong into the tent with some excitement.

The emperor fell into a dream very quickly that night, and Qin Qiong also made some preparations, and both of them quickly entered the state...

"...The moon flower is just like its name. Its flowers grow on a branch with only four heart-shaped leaves. When it is not blooming, it looks like a crescent moon. When it blooms, it becomes like a full moon, crystal clear like a beautiful jade. If you get it, it will bloom for you. You see, it blooms like a wild violet..."

"Yes, it has bloomed... Really, it is like a wild violet flower, round and beautiful like a mist..."

The emperor has now completely entered the state.

"Yes, that's it. Now you just have to look at the flower and follow it. Don't be afraid. The flower will lead you forward. Nothing can stop you. Look at the flower and go..."

"Yes, I look at it, it's so beautiful... Mother likes them"

Qin Qiong understood that the emperor was thinking of his own mother, Concubine Su who had passed away long ago. No one in the palace mentioned her anymore.

However, Qin Qiong believed that for the emperor, who was still a child at that time, especially when he could only live with his mother and rarely saw his father, the image of his mother meant a lot to him.

"...Yes, look at it, it will always be with you...You walked into the forest together and walked along the long and narrow path under the tree."
