"No, I didn't take senior as my teacher, but he was willing to do me a favor. He said you could help me." Zhan Yue said truthfully.
"No? That's right. He won't accept a disciple easily." The empress nodded and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Does your Majesty know the Dandu Bai family?" Zhan Yue asked.
"The Bai family is one of the four major families in Alchemy. I naturally know it. If you have anything to say, speak directly." The empress said impatiently. She was sleeping well, but when she was suddenly woken up, she would be in big trouble if she didn't have something interesting to say. .
"Follow your orders." Zhan Yue told the truth about Bai Zhi. The empress and palace maids on the side were happy to listen to these gossips and listened with gusto.
"Well, Bai Zhi ran away from marriage and met you halfway. You two also spent a year together on the ghost island. We have a deep relationship? It's exactly the same as the stories in those story books. You must be lying to me, right?" the empress said lazily. , these things are trivial to her.
"Of course I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty. My strength is low and I am no match for the Bai family. I can only seek external help." Zhan Yue said in a sincere tone.
"But why should I help you? After all, you and I don't know each other. Although offending the Bai family for you is not a big deal, it is completely unnecessary." asked the empress. "That old guy thinks he has a lot of face, but his face is worthless in front of me. When I need him, he won't show up at all, huh!" Because of her master's relationship, the empress felt sorry for Dan Taoist, her master. My uncle was quite complaining.
"Uh." Zhan Yue was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the empress would be so dissatisfied with Taoist Dan. The old Taoist still looked like he was sworn in. His feelings were not valued so much by others. But Zhan Yue was overly worried. If Empress Qianjiao didn't value her master, how could she have summoned Zhan Yue in the palace overnight? The empress' words were more to express her dissatisfaction and to express her grievances for her master.
"I am willing to exchange a copy of the eighth-grade elixir recipe for Her Majesty the Empress' help." Zhan Yue said.
"Eighth-grade elixir prescription? Another eighth-grade elixir prescription. Although the Bai family attaches great importance to it, it is nothing to me. That's all, you can submit it." The empress thought for a while and said, although she said that , but the face of his master uncle must be given to him after all.
Zhan Yue painfully took out a book of elixirs and handed it into the hands of the empress through the palace maid.
The empress lay on the bed, supporting her head with one hand, and lazily took a nap. She took the pill prescription sent by the palace maid. The moment she saw the pill prescription, her whole body felt as if she was struck by lightning, and she sat up straight away.
"Where did you get this...this thing?" the empress asked excitedly. What Zhan Yue gave her was not the recipe for the Soul-Rejuvenating Pill as the Dan Taoist had imagined, but the recipe for the Changchun Pill. In order to ensure that the empress was willing to take action, Zhan Yue showed enough sincerity.
"I got it by chance in a tribe belonging to another race." Zhan Yue said.
The empress repeatedly read the contents of the prescription, her face filled with surprise. "How do I know that the elixir you gave me is real? This is the Changchun elixir. You should know its value!" One pill will increase your life by 10 years, and two pills will increase your life by 15 years. Looking at the increased life span, Many, but for those old people who have run out of gas, these extra 15 years may really change their lives. You can do many things.
"Your Majesty, I have a refined Eternal Spring Pill here, which was found along with this pill recipe." Zhan Yue said, and then took out a jade bottle.
After the empress got the jade bottle, she couldn't wait to smell it. She felt a sense of relief all over her body, and she seemed to be more energetic. A big secret that outsiders don’t know is that Empress Qianjiao is also an eighth-grade alchemist! The three great alchemy masters rumored in the world do not include Taoist Alchemist and Empress Qianjiao. With her level, she can naturally judge the authenticity of the elixir, even if she has never seen it. The prescription and elixir were both confirmed, and the empress almost believed in Zhan Yue.
"Do you know the value of the things in your hands? Is it worth it for a woman?" the empress asked curiously.
"It's worth it. I got this elixir very easily. I don't think this kind of thing can be compared with Bai Zhi. Not to mention my relationship with Bai Zhi, even Bai Zhi's own alchemy talent is not comparable to it." Yue said decisively.
The empress was silent for a long time, and sighed in her heart: "If only my uncle had half the attitude of this boy, no, one-tenth of his attitude, he and his master would not be in the situation they are in today. They obviously like each other, but they delay For a lifetime... It's not like this boy and Leng Touqing were trading gold mountains for their wives. He is really a boy who values love and justice." The empress couldn't help but take a second look at Zhan Yue.
"I would like to see what kind of girl can be worth more than these elixirs and prescriptions." The empress smiled, and then said: "I never owe anyone who has meritorious service. Not only is your elixir worth extremely high, And it also helped me a lot. Xiaoyu, bring me some pen and ink."
Then, the palace maid came to the empress with the imperial edict and pen and ink. The empress thought for a moment, then immediately wrote down the imperial edict, then took out the imperial seal and stamped it with a seal. However, the moment the empress took out the imperial seal, Zhan Yue's heart began to throb inexplicably, just like when she first saw the statue of the goddess and the golden tripod of the Earth Mother. He could feel that special throbbing coming from the bed, from the imperial seal in the hands of the empress!
"No...Isn't it possible? The imperial seal of Qianjiao Nu Kingdom is my contract?" Zhan Yue felt huge waves in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask or say anything. He couldn't say: "Your Majesty, this imperial seal is my contract and should be returned to me."
If he dared to ask Empress Qianjiao for the Imperial Seal like this, he might become a loser tomorrow. This matter needs to be considered in the long run.
Soon after, the palace maid delivered the imperial edict to Zhan Yue. After Zhan Yue read the edict, his breathing became a little short. He couldn't believe the content of the edict. It was too... too childish. The conditions provided by the imperial edict far exceeded Zhan Yue's expectations, and Zhan Yue's hard work was not wasted.
"How, can this imperial edict of mine help you?" the empress asked.
Zhan Yue nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He could help, he could definitely help. He could be regarded as a huge backer for Bai Zhi.
"Xiaoyu, I'm a little tired seeing you off." The empress gave the order to expel the guests.
After sending Zhan Yue away, the excitement in the empress's heart was still lingering. She ordered Xiaoyu beside her, "After that, you go to Dandu. After he announces the imperial edict, you bring him and the girl named Bai Zhi back." ." The empress was afraid that Zhan Yue would suddenly come up with an imperial edict and the Bai family would not believe it, so she added a layer of insurance and asked her personal maid to go out of the palace to support Zhan Yue in person.
"Yes." Gong Xiaoyu nodded. There is also curiosity and expectation in her beautiful eyes.
The empress who said she wanted to rest did not rest. Instead, she disappeared on the bed and appeared in the forbidden area of the palace.
