Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
But everything was gone…
In order to exterminate the Nangong Family, he had abandoned his son.
Consort Shu also hated him and became a stranger to him. In the end, she even escaped from him.
Regret?
He kept telling himself that he had no regrets.
But from the moment he saw Zhang Shi, he knew that he regretted it…
He clearly knew that Zhang Shi was not Consort Shu, but he still treated her as her.
He even wanted to make up for what he owed Consort Shu to Zhang Shi.
However, he knew that he might never be able to see Wanyue again in this lifetime…
Nangong Wanyue, how cruel of you.
Emperor Yan’s heart ached and he closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Shi thought that Emperor Yan wanted to rest and did not disturb him anymore.
Not long after, the people from the Imperial Academy of Medicine arrived.
Zhang Shi then went forward to ask Emperor Yan.
Emperor Yan opened his tired eyes and waved his hand.
“Let them wait in the side hall first. Call me when the Imperial Advisor arrives.” He said.
He no longer had much hope for the imperial physicians.
Right now, the only person he could count on was the Imperial Advisor.
“Yes.” Zhang Shi responded and quickly went to make arrangements.
Just as she arranged for the imperial physician to go to the side hall, the Imperial Advisor finally arrived.
Zhang Shi’s face lit up and she went to invite Emperor Yan again.
Upon hearing the arrival of the Imperial Advisor, the exhausted Emperor Yan seemed to have regained some vitality and asked Zhang Shi to help him up.
“Quick, let him in.” He said.
“Let the Imperial Advisor in!” Zhang Shi hurriedly rushed outside.
Not long after, Liu Wuji finally entered.
“Greetings, Emperor.” He walked to a place not far from Emperor Yan and bowed to him.
When he saw Zhang Shi, Liu Wuji’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t show any abnormality.
When he returned to the palace, he knew that Prince Anyang and the Imperial Consort had arranged for a woman who looked very similar to Consort Shu to enter the palace.
He didn’t expect them to be so similar, to the point where she could almost pass off as the real Consort Shu.
“Quickly get up!” Emperor Yan hurriedly said.
“Thankyou, Emperor!”
Seeing Liu Wuji get up, his mental state was better than before he left the capital. He looked younger than before. Emperor Yan was envious.
Why did he listen to his Third Son’s advice to bring Master Guo into the palace?
In the entire Great Yan Dynasty, who else was better at the art of health preservation than the Imperial Advisor?
“I called you here because I want you to take a look at my body.” Emperor Yan quickly said.
Liu Wuji looked surprised.
Emperor Yan looked bitter.
“I was previously infected and my body was weak. The Imperial Physicians couldn’t find the cause of the illness.”
“After that…”
“After that, Third Son recommended a person to me. His name is Master Guo.”
“Master Guo refined a spirit medicine for me. After taking the medicine, my physical weakness was quickly alleviated, and I feel that my spirit and strength are better than before.”
Liu Wuji nodded and listened. When he looked at Emperor Yan, his brows were furrowed. He was obviously doubting his words.
Emperor Yan also understood. Although he felt that after taking the medicine, his spirit and physical strength were better than before, he also realized that his hair was turning white faster and his skin was aging rapidly.
However, Master Guo told him that it was all caused by spirit herbs. Moreover, after a period of time, those bad situations would be reversed, so he didn’t pay too much attention to it.
But now, when Lady Yu came to expose Master Guo, he realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, he was hoping that all of this was nonsense.
Master Guo didn’t lie to him. The spirit herbs he had consumed these days weren’t some Life Essence Pill.
“But I just learned that the pill Master Guo gave me is called the Life Essence Pill.”
Before Emperor Yan could finish his sentence, Liu Wuji’s expression changed drastically.
“Life Essence Pill?!” Liu Wuji looked at Emperor Yan in shock.
Emperor Yan felt his heart sink rapidly.
“Yes. Do you recognize this medicine?” He tried to calm himself down and asked Liu Wuji.
Liu Wuji frowned. He did not answer. Instead, he asked, “does the Emperor still have this pill?”
“Yes.” Emperor Yan hurriedly said.
Then, he looked at Zhang Shi beside him.
Zhang Shi bowed to Emperor Yan and retreated.
Not long after, the pills were brought over.
Liu Wuji glanced at the uneasy Emperor Yan and reached out to take the wooden box from Zhang Shi.
He opened the box and sniffed the pill. Then, he opened the pill and looked at the inside of the pill.
Then, under Emperor Yan’s nervous gaze, he nodded with a solemn expression.
Emperor Yan seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant. He closed his eyes and collapsed weakly on the pillow.
After a long while, Emperor Yan opened his eyes again.
“I’ve been taking the medicine for more than a month. Can the illness still be cured?” He asked Liu Wuji.
After confirming that it was the Life Essence Pill, he no longer doubted the medicinal effects.
The only solution now was to find a way to remove the medicinal properties as much as possible.
He only hoped that it wasn’t too late.
Liu Wuji stretched out his hand.
“I will take the emperor’s pulse.” He said with a solemn expression..
