Rong Xiaotian looked at Gu Qingxue expectantly and went straight to the point, “Lady Gu’s medical skills are brilliant and can save people from danger. I wonder if there is any way to help me come true?”
Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows in surprise. She did not expect Rong Zhantian to have such an unreasonable request for her.
If she had a way to help people achieve immortality, would she still need to sit here and talk to Rong Xiaotian?
Once a person could live forever, they would no longer be human, but a god-like existence.
When she saw the ambition in Rong Xiaotian’s eyes, Gu Qingxue did not want to respond to his expectations.
However, she could let Rong Xiaotian see what kind of price those who went against the laws of heaven would have to pay.
“I don’t dare to lie to you. I do have a way to slow down aging, but it’s not immortality. Moreover, this process will be extremely painful, and I’m worried that Your Majesty won’t be able to withstand it. ” When Gu Qingxue finished speaking, she looked troubled.
After Rong Xiaotian heard Gu Qingxue’s words, he was ecstatic. “Lady Gu, you really know how to joke. How can delaying aging be a simple thing? As long as I can live for a few more decades, I’m willing to suffer any pain!”
Seeing the ambition in Rong Xiaotian’s eyes, Gu Qingxue lowered her eyes and concealed her playful smile. “Your Majesty, this method of delaying aging was also passed down to me by my master. This process is very complicated and extremely torturous. Once you start, you can’t stop, or your lifespan will be reduced. I’m afraid that I don’t dare to try such a risk.”
When Rong Xiaotian heard this, he calmed down a little. “Is it really that dangerous?”
“Yes. Once it begins, it can’t be stopped. During this period, one will be subjected to many tortures. If Your Majesty can accept it, this subject will naturally do my best to cooperate with Your Majesty.” Gu Qingxue was lying through her teeth.
In fact, to be precise, she was not lying. She did have a way to make Rong Xiaotian’s body better. She could even make him look younger at a visible speed through medicine and beauty treatments.
Rong Xiaotian was very tempted, but at the same time, he was a little afraid. “If this succeeds, how much younger will I become?”
“At least ten. However, if Your Majesty fails, your lifespan might be shortened by a few years,” Gu Qingxue said with a serious expression.
“Ten years…” Rong Xiaotian thought back to ten years ago. His charm at that time could not be compared to what he was now, especially in the harem.
Ten years ago, he was walking among thousands of flowers, but today, ten years later, he no longer had the energy.
Rong Xiaotian was very concerned about this. He cleared his throat and asked in a low voice, “Will all aspects of the body be ten years younger? I don’t have many children, and I don’t know if I can have a few more princesses and princes.”
Gu Qingxue was a little surprised.
Initially, she thought that Rong Xiaotian did not know about his kidney deficiency. It was only after hearing his words that she realized that Rong Xiaotian himself knew that he was dying!
When she had taken his pulse earlier, she had noticed that Rong Xiaotian’s body was severely lacking in energy. He was only in his forties, but he was already dispirited and listless.
It was a pity that there were so many concubines in the harem, but they all had to accompany Rong Xiaotian in suffering.
It was a not serious problem if it was just because Rong Xiaotian just played around a little too much when he was young..
