The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 21 Lifespan is too short

Upon hearing this, the imperial guards immediately stopped, lowered their heads, said "please", and said nothing more.

Ye Wenyan and his party were walking on the palace road. In the distance, they heard the sound of monks chanting sutras for the souls of the deceased. Wu Fei said, "It is the high monks from Fengguo Temple who have come to the palace to perform a sutra for the emperor's souls of the deceased. At this moment, all the ministers are gathered in Chengguang Hall. The princes and princesses are kneeling in front of the spirits, and the ministers are discussing which prince should succeed to the throne."

Ye Wenyan didn't respond, and didn't know how to respond.

It was Yun Chen who invited her into the palace this time, but she neither knew nor had any dealings with Yun Chen, so the person who really wanted her to enter the palace was definitely not Yun Chen.

But even if this was Shi Liyuan's idea, she still couldn't guess why Shi Liyuan did this. The emperor's death, does this have anything to do with her?

She wanted to ask if Master Yunchen Liyuan's injury had healed, but for some reason she was distracted and asked, "Is your immediate boss dead?"

Yun Chen was startled. Although he didn't quite understand what "immediate superior" meant, he was smart and realized that the question was about the Emperor. So he waved his hand and said, "Miss Fourth, don't say anything nonsense. The Emperor is in good health!" After saying that, he glanced at Wu Fei. Seeing Wu Fei lowered his head, he was relieved. "Why did Miss Fourth ask this?"

Ye Wenyan knew that she had said the wrong thing, but it was difficult to admit that she wanted to care about the man's injury, so she had to change the subject abruptly. Before she could say anything else, she said, "The royal family is really rich. The floor of the palace is made of jade." She pointed at the jade bricks under her feet and said, "Is this kind of jade produced in abundance in the Northern Qi Dynasty?"

Yun Chen replied, "It's abundant, yes! But the jade used for paving the floor is not precious. If used to make jewelry, it would look too coarse. Even if it's used to make jade pillows, people with a little more money wouldn't want to use it. So we simply grind it into bricks and use them to pave the palace. They're softer to step on than blue bricks and don't break easily."

After saying that, he added, "Why are you talking about this jade brick, Fourth Miss, as if it's your first time here. You've been to this palace many times before with General Ye. Whether it's the former court or the harem, it's no stranger to the Ye family."

She was somewhat embarrassed and said vaguely, "Maybe my perspective on things is different, so my feelings are naturally different. Lord Yun, I'm asking something I shouldn't ask. How old is the late emperor? Did he die of old age?"

Yun Chen nodded, "I'm 58 years old. I haven't been in good health in recent years. I guess I can say I died of old age!"

"Fifty-eight is considered the end of life?" She was puzzled. "Then what about those who live to seventy or eighty?"

Yun Chen was stunned for a moment, “Miss Fourth, you are joking. No one on this continent can live beyond sixty years, so how could anyone live to be seventy or eighty? The late emperor was fifty-eight, which can be considered a natural death.” “A sixty years?” That means he was only sixty years old!

Ye Wenyan suppressed his surprise and tried to search the original owner's memory again. After a while, he finally found the matter about the life span of the Northern Qi people in an inconspicuous corner.

This flip really shocked her...

This continent originally had spiritual power, and people at that time could cultivate their spirituality and live long lives.

But just four hundred years ago, spiritual power suddenly disappeared, and human lifespan was reduced to only sixty years.

No one lives past the age of 60. No matter how healthy one is, one will die on the day they reach 60. Not to mention those who already have illnesses, whose life span will be even shorter.

At first people started to panic, but when they found that they couldn't change it, they got used to it. They began to compromise with the laws of nature and live a peaceful and stable life like ordinary people.

All of this was known to everyone in Northern Qi, so it was of no importance to the original owner. It was precisely because she felt it was of no importance that when Ye Wenyan resurrected, the memory of this incident did not immediately come to her mind.

Now that I think about it, I understand why Shi Liyuan was so surprised when he discovered that she had spiritual power.

"Fourth Miss?" Yun Chen called her, "What is Fourth Miss thinking about?"

She shook her head gently. "Nothing. I just thought of my grandfather and father. They are still a few years away from turning sixty!"

Yun Chen's voice lowered a little, "Old General Ye is fifty-three, and General Ye is thirty-six. There's still some years left."

As they were talking, the group had already arrived at the entrance of Chengguang Hall.
