The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

As soon as the words fell, the room suddenly became silent.

There was no fluctuation on the emperor's face.

No anger, no rebuttal, no doubt.

He just lowered his head, as if thinking.

The emperor's silence was not a moral balancing act or a struggle of conscience.

He never thought about whether these people should die.

What he was thinking about was how to make them willingly die for him.

How can we get the ministers in the court to tie up the women in their houses and send them to us?

Zhou Hui knelt there, without saying another word, just waiting quietly with his head lowered.

At times like this, any extra word would be a disturbance.

The expressions of Eunuch Wang and the three imperial doctors standing by became increasingly ugly.

Using women to sacrifice to heaven in order to eliminate evil spirits and consolidate the country's fortune sounds outrageous.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like something a wise ruler would do.

Absurd and cultish nonsense.

This is not about "eliminating evil" but "nurturing evil"!

for a long time.

The emperor slowly raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

It seems like I am extremely tired, but also like I am too lazy to think about it anymore.

"I... I'm still not feeling well."

Eunuch Wang quickly lowered his head and moved closer, asking cautiously.

"Your Majesty, how about... today's morning court session be put on hold for now..."

"No."

The Emperor interrupted him,

"No!"

He repeated it, as if to emphasize that he was still alive and in control of everything.

"In one night, three disasters occurred in the palace."

"I want to discuss this with all the ministers."

Eunuch Wang didn't dare to persuade him any further and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

But Zhou Hui smiled.

The opportunity has come.

He took a step forward, bowed, and spoke in a low and firm voice.

"His Majesty."

"I might be able to help your dragon body recover."

The emperor turned his eyes,

"really?"

"nature."

Zhou Hui shook his whisk and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of 'Taixu Huanyang Pill'?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

Very interesting.

"Master Wei, stop keeping me in suspense."

Zhou Hui nodded and spoke.

"This pill is extremely rare. It needs to be soaked in Kun blood and refined nine times before it can take shape."

The emperor closed his eyes and nodded. "Such a rare elixir? What effect will it have after taking it?"

Zhou Hui's tone was firm.

"If one takes it, if his life is not over, he will not be sick; if his life is about to end, it can prolong his life by three years."

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this.

Then Zhou Hui slowly took out a black wooden box from his chest. It was the size of a palm and had gold sealed on the four corners.

As soon as the lid of the box was opened, a faint fragrance suddenly filled the room, like pine but not pine, like orchid but not orchid, refreshing.

The three pills lay quietly in the box.

Then Zhou Hui spoke again.

"The most precious treasure of the Xuanmen sect is dedicated to the True Dragon. This elixir carries the primordial Qi of all things. I humbly pray that Your Majesty will take it to control the six Qi, ride on the righteousness of heaven and earth, and govern the eight poles."

The emperor looked at the pill without a trace of emotion on his face.

He just stared at Zhou Hui, his eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze as deep as water, unfathomable.

No words were spoken.

He didn't reach out either.

The air suddenly solidified.

Zhou Hui understood.

He raised his hand, took one out of the box, tossed it briefly, and swallowed it with his head tilted back.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

After swallowing, he patted his chest and smiled.

"I still have a life to serve the Emperor, so I dare not be arrogant."

Eunuch Wang couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The three imperial doctors looked solemn and exchanged glances with each other.

Finally, a smile appeared on the emperor's face.

"Ah."

"Where's the imperial physician? Take a look at me."

Dean Ma immediately bowed in response and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

Then he took the ebony wooden box.

First look, then smell, then pick up one and put it to the tip of your nose to sniff it, or even take out a silver needle to test it.

He used all the tricks commonly used in the palace.

Zhou Hui curled his fingers slightly and thought to himself.

You checked so carefully?

Will Shen Runing's trick be exposed?

While thinking about it, he glanced at Dean Ma.

The old man was staring at the pill in deep thought, then suddenly raised his eyes and looked straight at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

Zhou Hui felt a chill down his spine and his eyelids twitched.

moment.

Dean Ma slowly closed the lid of the box and looked at the emperor solemnly.

Then with a "bang", he fell to his knees.

"His Majesty--!!"

He kowtowed and screamed almost hoarsely.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! This elixir is a rare treasure from heaven and earth, a peerless divine product!"

"I have been practicing medicine for thirty years, and I have never seen such a miraculous medicine!"

"Once this pill enters the body, it can regulate the five internal organs, replenish vital energy, invigorate blood circulation and regenerate muscles. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it can prolong life by a hundred years!"

"How can this be some kind of elixir from the human world? This is clearly the method of immortality bestowed upon the Son of Heaven by the gods!"

……

Dean Ma’s reaction was too strong.

Zhou Hui was so shocked that he staggered and reflexively dodged to the side, bumping into Eunuch Wang and almost knocking the eunuch leader down...

The emperor raised his lips and waved his hand.

"Bring it to me."

Eunuch Wang presented the box quickly. The emperor took a look at it, moved his fingers slightly, and picked up the pill.

He tilted his head back and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Then he slowly closed his eyes.

The hall was completely silent, and everyone held their breath in concentration.

Time passed by in a breath.

suddenly--

The emperor's fingertips moved, his brows slightly frowned, then he let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

At that moment, his aura suddenly changed, as if an invisible wind was blowing away from his body.

The emperor's originally pale face suddenly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Eunuch Wang opened his mouth in shock.

"Master Ma."

The emperor spoke, his voice no longer hoarse.

"Take my pulse again."

"Yes!"

Dean Ma hurried forward and took the emperor's pulse with trembling hands.

After a while,

"Your Majesty—!"

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty cannot believe it!"

"The dragon's body is so strong, its qi and blood are so abundant... Your Majesty's pulse is as steady as a bell and drum, and his yang energy is surging. He is simply like a young man in his twenties!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed three times, the sound of which echoed through the roof of the hall.

"God bless you, Saint! This elixir is truly worthy of being called a remedy for resurrection!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile of ambiguous meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"it is good."

"Hahaha!"

"it is good!"

While the emperor was laughing, Ma Yuanshou glanced at Zhou Hui again out of the corner of his eye.
