Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Seeing the two people's dejected faces, Lan Qiyan said, "No blessing is better than having no misfortunes. Having neither great joy nor great sorrow is the ultimate happiness in the world. You are just idle.

The common people work hard all day long for a few pieces of silver, and they will be overjoyed if they can have enough food and warm clothes. But you, standing at the pinnacle of power, eat delicacies, wear silk and satin, but often feel spiritually empty, and no beauty or treasure can bring you a sense of happiness.

But in such an empty state, you still pursue the art of immortality, isn't it ridiculous? Just like I have a lot of skills, but if I don't use them to benefit the people, then what is the point of having these skills?

I have enough food and drink now, I don't need to run around everywhere, I just need to enjoy myself in the princess's mansion, but that kind of enjoyment makes me feel that life is meaningless.

The meaning of life is to stay still and to keep moving. I will tell you what the secret to longevity is. It is to nourish the mind, have a peaceful state of mind, focus on the present and forget about time.

Don't do some messy experiments that will harm others and yourself. You should be thankful that you didn't hurt innocent people, otherwise the palace would have changed hands today."

Seeing the two people's expressionless faces, Lan Qiyan said again, "Chu Huai, if I want, the whole world is mine. If I don't want, that dragon chair won't even be good enough to cook with.

Just weld your butt on without worrying about it. Who has the time to compete with you for that broken stool? There is no need to test me every time. Do you think I don’t know what you are up to?

And Shen Yuge, let me tell you, in the face of absolute strength, open and secret plots are useless. I don't even need to think about how to deal with you. If I detonate Yu Zian, you will all go to see Grandma."

Yu Zian was very upset: Did you get my consent?

"Let's make it clear today. I have no intention of becoming an emperor, but you can't be a tyrant. Otherwise, I will change the emperor. It's hard to find a man with three legs, but it's easy to find an emperor with two legs."

Chu Huai and Shen Yuge were completely relieved. They were indeed too weak.

Everyone in the princess's mansion breathed a sigh of relief, as it turned out to be a false alarm.

When Shen Yuge saw that the experiment had failed and she would die in the end, she completely gave up fighting in the palace and spent her days either eating, drinking, having fun or taking care of her health, trying to enjoy life while maintaining her health.

Chu Huai was even more so. While enjoying the embrace of women on both sides, he studied the Chinese medicine health-preserving methods taught by Lan Qiyan and went to bed early and got up late.

Yulin was originally very happy that he could live off his parents in peace, but now, looking at the piles of memorials on the desk, he really wanted to escape.

Lan Xiaoqi was taken back to the mansion by Lan Qiyan for intensive education.

Lan Qiyan had never mentioned words like blood transfusion in this place. How did Lan Xiaoqi know about it?

She asked Yu Zian to check the people Lan Xiaoqi had contact with and found that he was particularly interested in Chinese medicine.

But those ancient books actually contained questions about blood. Lan Qiyan asked Yu Zian to show her those books, but she found that she couldn't understand a single word.

"Lan Xiaoqi, come here."

Lan Xiaoqi looked at Yu Zian.

Yu Zian shook his head, he couldn't save him either.

Lan Xiaoqi curled his lips, "Dad, you are so cowardly."

"Humph, you are so brave that you dare to injure yourself and bleed yourself."

"Didn't I think that my father and mother were doing something that was against the will of heaven? I was trying to save them, and then I did my own research. I hurt myself to achieve my goal, so that no one else would be hurt."

Lan Qiyan sighed, "Your starting point is good, but your behavior is not advisable. No matter what happens in the future, don't hurt yourself. If you really can't solve it, then come to me. If I'm gone in the future, then go find your brother and sister-in-law. If they're gone too, then don't solve this matter."

Lan Xiaoqi was a little surprised, "Mom, am I not a coward in this way?"

"No, how can you protect others when you can't even protect yourself?"

"But what if it's mom? If mom is in danger, can't I hurt myself to save you?"

Lan Qiyan shook his head, "No need to save me, I don't need you to save me."

"No, I want to save you."

"Lan Xiaoqi, remember, I treat you well only because you can bring me happiness, and I don't ask for anything in return.

I will not blame your sister Yushu and your two brothers if they are unfilial in the future, because I gave birth to them only because of my desire, not to raise children to support me in my old age."

Lan Xiaoqi was so moved that he translated the ancient medical book under Lan Qiyan's sweet words.

At night, when Yu Zian saw her reading a medical book frantically, he rolled his eyes.

"Yu Zian, do you have any opinion about me?" Lan Qiyan asked after putting him down.

Yu Zian asked quietly, "Wife, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"I have no conscience, so why should I feel pain?"

"Alas, if the three of them are really unfilial, are you really not resentful?"

"I don't hold any grudges against them. I will just beat them so hard that they won't even recognize their home."

Yu Zian had an expression that showed he had seen through everything, "I know you were trying to trick him."

"I, Lan Qiyan, have been relying on my parents for my whole life, so how could I not rely on them? Just listen to some of my words, and go to sleep. I still need to do some research."

"You want to study the art of immortality?"

"No, I'm just curious. There is no secret to immortality in this world. As long as you have a good attitude, it's normal to live to be old."

Lan Qiyan really didn't lie to him this time. This kind of technology had not been developed at all in her time. It was just said that with the help of medical means, a person's life could be prolonged for a period of time, but immortality was impossible. She was just curious about when in history the method of prolonging life by blood transfusion was proposed.

"How could such a banned book appear in the Imperial Hospital and be seen by Xiao Qi? Someone must have done it on purpose."

"I've offended too many people, so it's hard to check all at once."

"Everyone is suspicious."

"Then investigate thoroughly."

Lan Qiyan kept her word. Under her supervision, Gu Rufeng finally found out the truth. All these corpses were killed by one person. Although it was not Chu Huai who did it, it was related to him.

Chu Huai felt that he was particularly wronged. What did what Chu Xuan did have to do with him?

Lan Qiyan just said one thing: the son’s debts must be paid by the father.

On the one hand, Chu Huai sent people to compensate the victim's family and built a grave for the victim. On the other hand, he sent people to capture Chu Xuan with all his strength. Once found, he would be killed without mercy.

The overt search made no progress at all, and Chu Xuan disappeared out of thin air again, just like he did that year.

Soon after, several princesses suddenly disappeared from the harem, and the people in the palace were in panic for a while. This made Chu Huai feel that his dignity was challenged, except for the time when Lan Qiyan challenged him.
