“Sanlang, is your health not good recently?” He had someone pour a cup of tea and handed it to Emperor Chu to soothe his throat.
Emperor Chu drank it all and shook his head, saying, “It’s nothing, I just feel increasingly weak and tired recently.”
Shen Fengyue understood and said, “Sanlang, don’t worry too much about anything. Your health is the most important.”
Emperor Chu nodded and turned to continue the banquet, seeming to have not taken it to heart.
Shen Fengyue didn’t like to drink, and there was nothing to do sitting next to him. Now that he held a high position, no concubine or lady dared to tear into him, so he just quietly ate and drank on the side.
He was eating when a small box was pushed into his sleeve. He looked up and saw that it was from Eunuch Shen.
“?”
Eunuch Shen smiled knowingly at him and said, “It’s what Your Majesty needs – the longevity pills made by Daoist Liang Yi.”
Oh, Shen Fengyue understood. It was time for prescribing medicine to Emperor Chu again.
Then Eunuch Shen lightly laughed and said amid the music and dance, “Your Majesty looks really beautiful today.”
Shen Fengyue, “…”
Today he still combed his hair into a peony hairstyle. This type of hairstyle is truly captivating – at first glance, it may seem tacky and eccentric. However, the more time you spend admiring it, the more you realize that it has a certain charm that is hard to resist. It is the kind of hairstyle that stands the test of time and exudes an alluring and irresistible appeal.
He touched his fluffy temple hair and opened the box in his sleeve. Inside were two pills, similar to the ones they had seen before, except these two were tinged with a faint red, which was quite beautiful.
Emperor Chu held his wine cup, lost in thought as he watched the dancing girls below. He now felt that wine was a good thing, it could numb one’s nerves and temporarily make them forget unpleasant things.
As he watched, he suddenly turned his blurry gaze to Shen Fengyue and raised his cup to him, then drank it all without waiting for a response from Shen Fengyue.
Shen Fengyue shrugged and presented a box containing the longevity Pill to him.
“Sanlang, do you know what this is?” he asked.
“?” Emperor Chu was drunk and his reflexes were slower than usual.
Shen Fengyue leaned in and whispered in his ear, “The pill that Daoist Liang Yi was making is ready. It’s said to be good for the body. Sanlang, do you want to try it?”
Emperor Chu nodded slowly, then took the pill without hesitation.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, he felt a surge of energy and felt like he was about to ascend to heaven, and nothing in the world could stop him.
The power of the pill was indeed immense, Emperor Chu’s face immediately turned red and he was halfway sober even from the wine. He looked at Shen Fengyue and said, “Yan Yan, I really miss you tonight.”
Shen Fengyue understood Emperor Chu’s intention, and this was where the experts should come in. He immediately called for the system, “System, it’s your turn now.”
System, “Fuck!”
After the banquet, Emperor Chu followed Shen Fengyue back to Guangju Palace. It had been a long time since he felt so energized, he felt like he could fight for another five hundred years. He impatiently took off his clothes and was immediately knocked unconscious by the system.
With the drugs, Emperor Chu became especially energetic, tossing and turning by himself to the point that Shen Fengyue had to retreat and shrink to the edge of the bed. After about two hours of tossing and turning, he fell asleep panting and covered in sweat.
Shen Fengyue breathed a sigh of relief and finally was able to sleep.
But at that moment, he suddenly heard the system sneer, “Ha, is that all?”
Shen Fengyue was so scared that he dared not make a sound. He secretly decided that Emperor Chu needed to be resolved quickly. The system was in a very bad state now and could be blackened at any moment.
