"Oh, the Golden Ding Tian Pill? I wonder how effective this pill is?" The Entertainment Emperor stood up from his throne excitedly. He was obviously looking forward to this pill.
"Your Majesty, this pill can replenish one's vitality. It can keep us men alive for half of our lives!" The Hundred Herbalist said without hesitation, showing off to the court.
"Keep us alive for half of our lives? Is there really such a powerful pill?" The court officials whispered to each other. As men, they all wanted to turn into roly-poly dolls!
"Hundred Herbalist, quickly offer it to me!" The Entertainment Emperor could not wait any longer.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Hundred Herbalist smiled. Just as he was secretly pleased with himself, a shout shook the entire court.
"Wait!" The shout was a little childish, but it was powerful and irrefutable. The person who shouted was the Crown Prince, Chen Jiu.
Ever since he proposed to divorce the imperial concubines, the Entertainment Emperor's reputation had soared. Chen Jiu was naturally loved and respected by the Entertainment Emperor. He said that he was here to teach him how to govern the country. Just like that, he brought the Entertainment Emperor to the court to listen to national affairs.
"Your Highness!" Although the Hundred Herbalist was unhappy, he still bowed politely.
"Hundred Herbalist, may I ask how many Golden Ding Tian Pills you have refined?" Chen Jiu asked thoughtfully.
"Your Highness, the Golden Ding Tian Pill is extremely difficult to refine. I have only managed to refine one pill after working tirelessly!" The Hundred Herbalist deliberately emphasized the value of this pill.
"How dare you, Hundred Herbalist, do you admit to your crime?" Chen Jiu did not appreciate the Hundred Herbalist's kindness and directly questioned him.
"Jiu 'er, what crime did Hundred Herbalist commit?" The Entertainment Emperor was also confused. He was now wondering if it was a mistake to bring Chen Jiu here.
"Your Highness, what crime did Hundred Herbalist commit?" The Hundred Herbalist could not help but be confused.
"There was only one pill, and it was just refined. Its effects are not clear yet. How dare you exaggerate and give it to His Majesty directly? You should know that His Majesty's body is priceless. How can he be your test subject? Let me ask you, do you still have His Majesty in your heart? "Chen Jiu reprimanded heavily under the doubtful gazes of the officials.
"This …" Bai Cao couldn't help but be shocked as he hurriedly explained, "This old subject is innocent, I have never thought of this. It's just that I've just started refining this pill and I'm overjoyed. I want to present it to Your Majesty as soon as possible. As for its medicinal properties, this subject dares to conclude that there will be no problems!"
"That's right, Jiu 'er. I've eaten a lot of Hundred Herbalist's Heaven Bracing Pills. There's absolutely no problem!" The Entertainment Emperor felt that Chen Jiu was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"No matter what, Your Majesty must not test the medicine. Since the herbalist is so sure of its efficacy, why not take it himself? It won't be too late to refine it for Your Majesty after he has verified its efficacy!" Chen Jiu proposed a different opinion.
"What? You want me to eat it myself? " The Hundred Herbalist felt that such a request was too strange. In the past, everyone would fight over the pills that he had concocted, but no one had ever asked him to eat them.
"What? You don't dare to eat it? "Chen Jiu immediately retorted.
"I, I don't dare to eat it. I just can't bear to eat it. I've worked so hard to refine this pill for Your Majesty. I don't know when I'll be able to refine it again!" The Hundred Herbalist couldn't help but complain.
"Jiu 'er, don't be ridiculous. I believe in the Hundred Herbalist. His loyalty to me is absolutely commendable!" The Entertainment Emperor persuaded, feeling a little sorry for the Hundred Herbalist.
"Father, the Hundred Herbalist has been refining pills for you for so many years. He's exhausted both physically and mentally. Since the Heaven Bracing Pill is so effective, why not let him take it first to recuperate so that he can be more loyal to you?" Chen Jiu tried to persuade the Emperor again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's my fortune to be able to share Your Majesty's burdens. I would never dare to take Your Majesty's divine pill!" The Hundred Herbalist still wanted to offer the pill despite his gratitude.
"Hmm, the Hundred Herbalist has become much more haggard recently … I'm not a stingy person. This Heaven Bracing Pill is a gift to me. However, I'll give it to you later. You should take care of yourself first!" The Entertainment Emperor weighed the pros and cons for a while. In his current condition, it was really inappropriate for the Hundred Herbalist to take the pill. He might as well pretend to be generous for once!
"Your Majesty is wise!" The officials cheered loudly, but they were just trying to curry favor. However, this matter was already set in stone, and there was no way to change it.
"Your Majesty …" This time, the Hundred Herbalist was in trouble. He felt that the Heaven Bracing Pill was like a hot potato in his hand.
"Hundred Herbalist, His Majesty has given you the Heaven Bracing Pill. Why haven't you taken it yet? Is there really a problem with this pill?" Courage God reprimanded.
"General, you must be joking. I just can't bear to eat it. Since everyone has doubts about it, why don't I eat it on the spot?" The Hundred Herbalist couldn't back down. He could only bite the bullet and swallow the Heaven Bracing Pill that he had refined himself.
"Hundred Herbalist, I have wronged you previously!" Chen Jiu continued to smile and apologize. He was stalling for time. When the Hundred Herbalist had almost fully digested the pill, he finally stopped and allowed the Entertainment Emperor to leave.
"This old official will take his leave!" The Hundred Herbalist's face was red. He hurried back to his residence.
"Hundred Herbalist, how did things go? Did His Majesty summon us back to the palace? "The concubines' clothes were disheveled, and their eyes were filled with anticipation.
"The little Crown Prince made things difficult for me, and forced me to submit to the Heavenly Golden Ceiling Pill. Concubines, you'll have to help me from now on …." Bai Cao's eyes were bloodshot as she explained, clearly displaying her strength.
"Ah, Hundred Herbalist, you … you don't want to live anymore? Don't stop … "The concubines couldn't resist at all. They didn't want to either. Once again, they accompanied the Hundred Herbalist in the Milky Way.
The Heaven Bracing Pill was very effective. Not only did it make the Hundred Herbalist feel no fatigue, it also made the concubines unable to wake up. Just like that, seven days and seven nights passed.
During this period of time, they didn't drink a single drop of water or eat a single grain of rice. As mortals, they were already exhausted. They were simply overdrawing their own life force!
There was a limit to life force. It was impossible for them to continue like this endlessly. Finally, on the morning of the eighth day, the Hundred Herbalist spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed among the corpses of the concubines.
"So comfortable …" The concubines were immersed in their own happiness. One by one, they fell asleep. Like that, they never woke up again.
The Hundred Herbalist Xuan Yin and the concubines were all dead. This was a shocking matter. It was only discovered on the tenth day. When the news spread, it shook the entire court.
"Hundred Herbalist, you have really disappointed me!" The Entertainment Emperor sighed. He couldn't help but value Chen Jiu even more. If it wasn't for him, he would be the one who died today.
With the death of the Hundred Herbalist, the fox mourned. The Riches Imperial Advisor immediately came to the Eight Trigrams Palace to pay a visit. His face was full of bitterness.
"Riches Imperial Advisor, may I know what business you have with me?" The Eight Trigrams Imperial Advisor was obviously a vengeful person. He wasn't very friendly to the Riches Imperial Advisor.
