"Reporting to the emperor, this medicine is the same as the Face Preserving Pill in the records. It should be the real thing." After the medicine priest finished examining it, he reported to the emperor.
"No way, is this really the Face Preserving Pill?" Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
"The king level Face Preserving Pill can preserve one's appearance for ten years. It also has the effect of beautifying. If the emperor obtains this pill, his youth will be eternal." Someone immediately flattered.
"Then will the effect really be that great?" Someone expressed their doubts.
The Emperor didn't pay attention to them. He revealed an anxious expression and said: "Quickly bring this pill over."
Thus, a eunuch went down to bring the Face Preserving Pill to the emperor.
Yang Wu took the opportunity to say: "The emperor can take it now, there will be a very obvious effect."
"No, this pill may have already been tampered with by him. If the emperor takes it …" Ji Meng opened his mouth again, but before he could finish, the medicine priest said with dissatisfaction: "Does Ji Daren doubt this priest's ability to test medicine?"
"No … No, this official does not dare, just in case." Ji Meng hurriedly responded.
The medicine priest's position in the court was extraordinary. Like Qiao San Ye, he was a marquis. He was also a dignified medicine king. Many pills in the court passed through his hands, so no one wanted to offend him.
"Humph, this priest has stayed in the medicine warehouse for sixty years and refined pills for fifty years. If I can't even distinguish the authenticity of a single pill, then I don't want to be a medicine priest." The medicine priest coldly snorted.
Ji Meng instantly did not dare to speak. This kind of person, even his teacher had to respect him.
After the emperor took the pill, he smelled it and looked at the medicine priest: "Can it really be eaten?"
The medicine priest bowed and said: "How could this official dare to deceive the emperor. If this pill is strange, this official is willing to guarantee with my head."
Yang Wu said from the side: "If the emperor is afraid, you can let someone eat it first. If they die, then it won't be too late to deal with Yang Wu." After pausing for a moment, he added: "But … there is only one Face Preserving Pill for the time being. If others take it, there may not be any left."
After the Emperor heard Yang Wu's words, he quickly threw the pill into his mouth.
The Emperor was already fifty years old. Although he had a technique to preserve his appearance, he still couldn't withstand the ravages of time. There were already traces of wrinkles on his face. Usually, he had to work hard on many state affairs, and his body was deteriorating day by day. Even if he had the strength of a high-level King Realm expert, he couldn't withstand the torment. This Face Retaining Pill just happened to solve his urgent problem.
If the medicinal pill was effective, he could return to his thirty-year-old appearance. Those young concubines of his would definitely be mesmerized by him. At that time, it would be even better if he took in a few more concubines.
Everyone watched as the Emperor swallowed the Face Preserving Dan on the spot. Their eyes were filled with anticipation. They wanted to see if this Face Preserving Dan was really effective. Of course, there were also others who hoped that this was a poison dan. It would be better if the Emperor was poisoned to death.
Yang Wu didn't care at all. He had confidence in his own medicinal pill. This was to give the other party a little sweetness. After tasting it, they would know how powerful he was. At that time, it wouldn't be him begging the other party, but the other party would be the one begging him.
Sure enough, this Face Preserving Dan was worthy of being called a medicinal pill that could preserve one's appearance. After the Emperor refined the medicinal power, it was as if a vitality was injected into his body. It began to change the muscles of his body. His face was emitting a luster, the wrinkles were disappearing, and his skin became more elastic. His entire person seemed to be glowing with a new brilliance, and he suddenly became a lot younger.
"Comfortable!" The Emperor, who had his eyes closed, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and praise. His appearance of enjoyment was as refreshing as if he was swallowing an immortal medicine.
"Congratulations to the Emperor for remaining young forever. Long live the Emperor." Yang Wu took the opportunity to kneel down on one knee and said.
For a long time, Yang Wu had been very arrogant. He didn't put the Emperor in his eyes at all. Now that he was so respectful, it had to be said that the timing was really good.
The civil and military officials all cast him a look of disdain, but they had no choice but to shout: "Congratulations to the Emperor for remaining young forever. Long live the Emperor."
The Emperor opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Haha, my beloved subjects, please rise."
As a ruler, he had already felt the extraordinariness of this medicinal pill. He was also clear about the changes in his body. His mood was not ordinary ah.
After the civil and military officials stood up, the Emperor muttered to himself and said: "Yang Wu, you have made a great contribution at the border, but you have also repeatedly disobeyed the imperial edict. Your merits offset your faults. Since you have contributed to the Face Preserving Dan, I will pardon you and confer you the title of honorary medicine priest. What do you think?"
Honorary medicine priest, this was a title in name only. Just like the current Medicine King Pavilion's Pavilion Master, he also belonged to the honorary medicine priest. But the other party didn't need to participate in the imperial court and was independent of the imperial court.
This title was just a reward for Yang Wu. This was also the Emperor giving himself a way out. It was up to Yang Wu whether or not he would appreciate it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Yang Wu readily agreed.
"Good, very good. Zhen will not interfere with the matter between you and Princess Xiao Han. She is a national beauty. If you miss out on her, it will be your loss." The Emperor said in a very happy mood. Then he said: "Okay, Yang Wu, come forward and listen to your conferment. You have made a great contribution at the border. You will be conferred the title of Guardian General, Shaowu Count, Ambassador of Peace, Yellow Magua, ten thousand taels of gold, and a set of King's Armor … …"
These were the rewards that the Emperor had conferred to Yang Wu. They were the rewards that he deserved for repelling the barbarians and rescuing dozens of high-ranking military officers and 150,000 soldiers. The reward for signing the peace contract was gone. It was equivalent to making up for his crime of disobeying the Emperor's decree.
It can be said that the Emperor has been magnanimous enough to tolerate Yang Wu's rude behavior.
His decision to do so was also based on careful consideration, and not because of Yang Wu's single Ageless Pill.
First of all, Yang Wu has a powerful master behind him. He also heard that he has a mysterious master, who may be a supernatural figure. In addition, he is a young Medicine King. All of these were destined to not easily touch him. Another reason was that Yang Wu has a grudge with Prince Fu An and Prime Minister Song. These two people have a feeling that the Emperor can no longer suppress them. Yang Wu happened to be their enemy. So, the one who should have the most headache is not the Emperor, but the two of them. Pardoning Yang Wu was the result of weighing the pros and cons.
It has to be said that the Emperor's skill is not something that ordinary people can play with.
The Emperor had already decided on Yang Wu's identity, and none of the civil and military officials dared to stand up against him. Yang Wu also didn't cause any more trouble, and happily accepted all of this.
For him, these things are just a formality. He doesn't care at all. His future is not limited to this Daxia Dynasty.
The farce of the morning court came to an end.
Yang Wu could be considered to have passed this stage without any mishap.
At the end of the court, Prince Fu An apologized to Yang Wu: Shaowu Earl, Jiaoyan is not sensible. Just let bygones be bygones. If you have any conditions, as long as benwang can do it, benwang will not say a word of no.
It can be seen that Prince Fu An is really willing to put down his pride and ask for peace. Otherwise, with his identity as a prince, he will not apologize to a count.
Yang Wu stretched his waist and lightly said: I am not short of anything now, Wangye.
So, there is nothing to talk about? Prince Fu An frowned.
There is nothing to talk about. You are a dignified prince. If you want to plagiarize my Yang Family, then plagiarize it. What else can I say? But next time, if you want to plagiarize again, it will not be so easy. Yang Wu said with a smile.
He was doomed to not reconcile with Prince Fu An and Song Xiang. The account must be slowly settled. He suffered a lot, his parents suffered a lot, and his younger brother suffered a lot. Someone must pay the price.
Well, well, I will see what you can do. After Prince Fu An said a few words, he waved his sleeves and left.
Yang Wu smiled and declined to comment. He still has not figured out how to deal with the two families. At present, he just wanted to give them some pressure. But after he thought about it, he will definitely give them a thunderous blow. Even the royal family cannot stop him.
Just when Yang Wu was about to leave, a little eunuch hurriedly rushed over and shouted: Earl Shaowu, please wait, the emperor wants to see you.
The little eunuch's voice was not small, so the civil and military officials who were leaving heard it. They couldnt help but look back at Yang Wu with a complicated look. They were sure that Yang Wu was destined to rise quickly.
Yang Wu hesitated for a moment, but he still followed the little eunuch to the back of the palace.
Soon, he saw the emperor again in the Yangxin Palace Hall. The emperor has taken off his dragon robe and revealed his simple clothes. The emperor was in high spirits and looked a lot younger. He looked like he was in his 30s, still in his prime.
"This subject greets Your Majesty." Yang Wu saluted and greeted.
He found that there was a graceful woman beside the emperor, who was the empress. So, he quickly added: This subject greets the empress.
So, you are Yang Wu. You really look talented. The empress looked at Yang Wu and said.
The empress had the demeanor of a mother under heaven, but unfortunately, she was no longer young. She looked a bit old and when she stood next to the emperor, they clearly did not match.
"Thank you, Empress, for your praise." Yang Wu replied honestly.
Yang Wu, sit down and talk. The emperor opened his mouth and said.
Yang Wu was not polite and directly sat down. Then, he asked: What did the emperor call this subject over for?
It had to be said that Yang Wu really did not put the emperor in his eyes. Speaking like this was impudent.
The emperor did not argue with Yang Wu. He opened his mouth and said: Do you really only have one Face Preserving Pill?
Yang Wu nodded his head and said: I really only have one.
This time, the empress anxiously said: Yang Wu, you have to be honest. As long as you take out another Face Preserving Pill, I will have the emperor agree to any request you have.
Ke, ke, any reasonable request. The emperor hurriedly added a sentence.
It was true that he was the Emperor, but he couldn't do everything to Yang Wu.
Emperor, can the medicine priest not refine the Face Preserving Pill? Yang Wu asked.
When the emperor heard this, he secretly cursed in his heart: Isn't this asking the obvious?
