Chapter 146 - Lost Empire (2/2)

”Ah, well three people...” When he saw the Emperor's face change, he smugly added with a grin, ”...But I saved her...You know it was a very heroic scene, I ha- Ah, don't move her!” Doctor Lou quickly shouted when the Emperor was about to pick her up, intending to leave, irritated with everything and Doctor Lou's rambling was not helping his mood.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes at him and Doctor quickly explained, ”Well you see those three gold needles on her head? It's to keep her from attacking people...And if you move her, they could kill her, very sensitive spots they're in...But if I remove it, she'll start attacking people again. Very dangerous.” Doctor said nodding and stroking his beard.

”What do you mean by attacking?” The Emperor finally asked, he had been distracted by Doctor's Lou's other shocking words.

Doctor Lou smiled and then went, ”That's why you're here. To help her...Ah, let me show you...” Doctor came forward and went to grab Lei Xing's arm, he saw the Emperor glare at him and so he added, ”Excuse me?” The Emperor then trained his eyes back on Lei Xing's face.

Doctor Lou picked up her arm and then moved the sleeve to show the Emperor the red spots on it, ”You see some evil person gave her an aphrodisiac, they poked her several times too...I know this method very well, I may or may not have - ...Hehe~ That's a story for another day. Anyway, she must have eaten some qing lu root today. On its own, it's harmless and very sweet. Great with wine too, I use it quite a bit...It's a secret ingredient. You need to try it, I have some h-” Doctor Lou stopped and pursed his lips when he saw the Emperor was not sharing in his amus.e.m.e.nt.

He cleared his throat and clarified, ”All it does is make you relaxed and happy!... Anyway, when you mix it with the seyu potion it becomes a powerful aphrodisiac...”

”Seyu?” The Emperor asked tightly knitting his brows. The name sounded familiar.

Doctor Lou nodded and then knit his brows as he stroked his beard, ”I haven't seen Seyu in a long time though, you might be too young to know this but it was made by...”

”Dong country's queen...A longevity drug isn't it?” The Emperor asked knitting his brows in annoyance as he looked at Lei Xing, the situation now felt a lot more complicated. He had heard his father mention wanting to acquire it during their siege on Dong country, but by the time they won the war and their men entered the Dong royal palace they found the royal family had all poisoned themselves taking the formula to their graves.

Even if his father won the war, they refused to allow him the luxury of extending his life to rule over this newly acquired Empire. But now this potion was here in his country?

”Are you certain?” The Emperor asked with a frown.

”It definitely is! I could recognize it even in my dreams. I've played with it for quite a long time. Plus I never forget things like this.” Doctor Lou confidently responded.

The Emperor's frown deepened.

{...If this is true, things might be a lot more complicated than they appear...}
