If he thought about it carefully, wasn't all that nonsense just some perverted warlock tricks? Using things that outsiders couldn't figure out, as well as things that doctors couldn't figure out, to fool the emperor who was wholeheartedly pursuing the cultivation of the Dao.

Countless emperors in the past have been killed by the so-called immortal pills. Eating that thing would make people excited and there would be a few ladies in the night, but their bodies would also become more and more empty.

Su Zhi thought it was laughable. In ancient times, emperors who held high positions all wanted to live forever.

However, they did not think that Fang Shi was really capable of concocting pills. First of all, he would have to show off before he could be convincing again.

Even the emperor is extremely foolish, to actually listen to such nonsense.

Liu Yuan picked up the book on the floor and flipped open a page. He recited, ”Bait Fang Shi Jindan. Your temper is anxious and your emotions are unusual.” Flipping over to the last page, he said, ”Since autumn and winter, I have felt ill, and the Taoist thinks that I have changed my bones.”

That's right, the so called Jindan was indeed like that. The first time one took it, they would be excited, and over time, their temper would become violent. Then, their body would slowly become empty.

”Lady Su, these are all the records of the eunuchs who lived by His Majesty's side. I came here to take them out by chance.”

Su Zhi understood and explained, ”There is a ten percent chance that the so-called elixir of life and death in this world is fake. There is simply no such thing as an immortal elixir that can be reached by consuming the elixir of life and death. Mercury was a liquid metal. In other words, it was something that was slightly similar to gold, silver, copper, or iron. If you were to take it recklessly, it would be like taking a chronic poison. Over time, the poison would invade your bone marrow and even the immortals of the Great Luo would not be able to save you. ”

Hearing this, Liu Shiqian coughed. He seemed to be very angry.

”Father, your health is more important.” Liu Yuan patted him on the back with a worried expression.

The old man waved his hand and said, ”I have secretly looked for a few doctors who have seen this prescription, but they were unable to detect anything. Yuquan, taste Gangping, the main treatment of five viscera diseases. Soft tendons strong bone, soul, long muscle, nourishing qi, long suffering from the cold and heat, no hunger, no thirst, immortal. Empty cyan, the chief cure for youth blindness and deafness. Bright eyes, sharp nine orifices, blood circulation, nurturing the spirit. ”Long live and long live …”

Liu Shiqian suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, ”I was naive enough to think that these things could extend a person's life. It wasn't until later that I realized that something was wrong with His Majesty and that this recipe wasn't as simple as it looked.”

Su Zhi nodded with certainty. ”Teacher's intuition is right. This recipe is full of harm and benefits. It empties the body.”

Liu Shiqian's heart ached as he stared at the page with anxiety.

Even if they knew it was harmful, they might not be able to convince the emperor to stop consuming the medicine. Most importantly, the Warlock was recommended by the Zhao Family, and everyone was aware of his intentions.

If the Zhao Family wanted to do this, they were afraid that the Emperor would not abdicate his throne for a long time and that the Crown Prince would not be able to hold out against them, their father! Such vicious thoughts! He actually dared to take the risk and commit murder on behalf of the Son of Heaven!

”Cough, cough, cough!” Liu Shiqian violently coughed again, making him unable to breathe.

Liu Yuan helped him calm his breathing before saying, ”Thank you, Lady Su, for answering the riddle. My aunt will let you take me to see her.”

Su Zhi understood tacitly and curtsied, ”Thank you for your trouble. Please take care of yourself, old mister.”

She pushed open the door and was immediately welcomed by a servant.

After the woman disappeared, the old man stopped coughing and stared at the tightly shut door.

”Yu-er, when did you know this woman?”

Liu Yuan didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question. In the end, he replied, ”I met him when I was on my way to the disaster relief in Qing He County.”

Liu Shiqian narrowed his eyes and thought.

A peasant woman who came from the countryside actually knew about this and had the ability to make business so popular. This girl was definitely not an ordinary person.

”At your age, you've also been standing here this year. Ever since that child died, you've been like a monk with few desires. If you take some time, you'll have to think about the future.”

Liu Yu An looked a little helpless. ”Why did father bring it up?”

”You are my son after all, and there are no parents in this world who do not wish their children to live a good life. It doesn't matter if you're young now, but when those two little monkeys are old and you don't have anyone by your side, you'll know that your days aren't going well. ”

Although he could not see Su Zhi's background clearly, Liu Shiqian thought that if that girl could enter the Liu Family, she might become an invisible force to help them.

He had lived for dozens of years and had never made a mistake.

”Go and investigate the origin of that woman.”

”Father, are you trying to …”
