Thinking like this, the Queen Mother felt a little more comfortable. Although she was still impatient, her tone softened: "There is no need for the Immortal Master to explain to the Ai family, but since the Ai family is the queen mother of a country, this matter has With so many children involved, the Ai family must ask the immortal master for a reason so that they can give an explanation to their people."
After hearing this, the purple-robed man raised his eyes and glanced at her. His light-colored fox eyes flickered under the candlelight, making it impossible to distinguish his expression at the moment. I heard him suddenly chuckle, and there was a faint coldness in that laughter, just like the wind passing through the dead branches, making people a little creepy.
"The Queen Mother's words are really nice, but Gu also heard that the powerful people in Nanling Kingdom are violent and unruly, and regard human life as nothing, especially the common people, who are as humble as ants. They often suffer because they don't have enough to eat. People who could not afford to pay the exorbitant taxes had to sell their wives and children. In remote places, people even exchanged their children for food. Gu just asked the Queen Mother for a few children, but why did he need to explain something else when he got to the Queen Mother? Look. Your Majesty, Lai, is deliberately trying to embarrass Gu."
After hearing what he said, the Queen Mother's face froze, and a flash of anger suddenly appeared in her eyes.
She opened her mouth and was about to retort, but she heard him sigh quietly, and there seemed to be a hint of pity in his tone, "Does the Queen Mother know what will happen if she deceives Gu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the purple-robed man leaning forward slightly, and his eyes, which were originally hidden in the light and shadow and difficult to distinguish between light and dark, suddenly became extremely clear, and even the subtle texture in the pupils could be seen clearly.
He stared closely into the Queen Mother's eyes, and there seemed to be a violent bloodthirsty anger in his eyes, with murderous intent lurking, like a ferocious beast that was ready to attack at any time and bite her throat at any time.
The Queen Mother was suffocated by his frightening eyes and shuddered violently. A chill that penetrated into the bone marrow spread uncontrollably up her back.
Even though she was frightened in her heart, she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she could only pretend to be calm and turn her eyes away.
After a moment, the Queen Mother composed herself, forcibly suppressed the turbulence in her heart, and said with a slight embarrassment: "The immortal master misunderstood, the Ai family did not mean to embarrass the immortal master. It's just that they have to collect so many children, and they only have half a month. I am afraid--"
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a man in purple robe with a cold voice: "That is the Queen Mother's business."
The Queen Mother's eyebrows trembled, and a fierce murderous intention suddenly formed in her eyes, but she calmed down quietly in an instant, "If the Ai family knows, the Ai family will definitely let the immortal master get what he wants."
"You get what you want..." The man in purple robe repeated this sentence softly. Suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately raised his hand to hold the Queen Mother's chin, and forced her face to turn to look at her.
In the Queen Mother's shocked, flustered and angry eyes, the man in purple robe chuckled lightly, his slightly narrowed fox eyes became more and more mysterious and deep, and the evil spirit hidden deep in his eyes was about to come out.
His eyes flickered to the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes for a moment, and he let out a soft "tsk". Then, the strength of his fingers suddenly relaxed, and he released his grip on the Queen Mother, leaving a red mark on her jaw.
The Queen Mother finally recovered from her shock and anger, and was about to have an attack when she heard him say playfully: "Has the Queen Mother noticed that there are more and more fine lines at the corners of your eyes in recent days?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly felt uneasy in her heart. She hurriedly raised her hand to touch the corners of her eyes. When she touched the lines that suddenly became darker, she couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
At this moment, she felt an inexplicable panic, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, suddenly sprang out from the depths of her heart, opened its bloody mouth full of fangs, and swallowed her up bit by bit. All.
"You..." The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed. She looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, with fear in her eyes. She quickly asked in a trembling voice, "What did you do to the Ai family?!"
The man in purple robe watched the Queen Mother's reaction in his eyes, and a strange smile quietly bloomed in the beautiful fox eyes, making those light brown pupils look more evil and unruly.
"Compared with those of people of the same age, the Queen Mother's face is indeed enviable, but it is a pity that the efficacy of the elixir can only last for two years. Once the efficacy of the drug wears off, your face will age rapidly. Like flowers that have been quenched by poison, they wither and rot together with their roots, branches and leaves until they completely decay. This time Gu came here to tell you this. If the empress still wants her beauty to last forever, it is best to Don’t be too smart, otherwise... Gu will have no choice but to accompany your empress to enjoy the flower fall."
He deliberately prolonged his tone, sometimes with a hint of pity, sometimes with a hint of joking, and the ups and downs were unpredictable.
However, to the Queen Mother, every inflection in his voice was like a sharp sword hanging above her head. She knew it was hanging above her head, but refused to fall down, making people nervous, anxious and uneasy all day long. Increasing despair and eventually exhaustion.
The Queen Mother felt her heart suffocate, and an indescribable despair suddenly welled up from the bottom of her heart, quickly spreading to her limbs and bones, locking her mind tightly and making it difficult to break free.
Her eyes suddenly widened and she took two steps back unconsciously, her eyes filled with horror and fear.
The purple-robed man stared at her with interest, like a hunter lurking in the dark night, waiting for an opportunity to move. His eyes flickered, revealing a hint of falcon-like evil and a trace of ruthless cruelty.
"The Queen Mother had better remember that people must not have wrong thoughts, but also know how to assess the situation. Those who once wanted to kill Gu, at this time..." He paused, with a little regret in his tone, " The grass on the grave is probably more than ten feet tall."
The warning in this sentence was extremely obvious, and it was like a sharp blade tempered with poison, which cut straight into the Queen Mother's heart, causing her face to turn extremely pale in an instant, and layers of cold sweat dripping down her back.
The Queen Mother's pupils suddenly shrank, and then she realized that this person had already had a backup plan back then, so that she had to be controlled by him now. Back then, she had searched for famous doctors, but no one could cure her face. If there were no elixirs from this person in the future, not only her appearance, but also her life would be at risk... This person could see through her hidden secrets at a glance. The murderous thoughts deep in the heart are destroyed without any scruples. This unscrupulous attitude makes people unable to help but give in.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother took a deep breath, bowed deeply to the purple-robed man, and said respectfully: "It is my honor to share the worries of the Immortal Master. In half a month, I will definitely send all ninety-nine boys and girls to him. Immortal Master, I hope the Immortal Master can give me the elixir."
Hearing the Queen Mother silently replace "Aijia" with "I", the purple-robed man sneered and said, "Wouldn't it be great if the Queen Mother had been so obedient from the beginning?"
After that, he took out a porcelain vase from his sleeve. With a wave of Guangxiu, the porcelain vase was placed on the table.
"This elixir can only last for half a month. After half a month, the Queen Mother will come to the abandoned house in person to look for Gu, and Gu will give you the real elixir."
When the Queen Mother saw this scene, she couldn't help being surprised for a moment, and then she immediately lowered her head and said, "Yes, thank you, Master Immortal."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing against her face. When she raised her eyes again, there was no trace of the purple-robed man in the hall.
