Chapter 147 The Elixir of Life
"As long as I can make you happy, I am willing to fill every corner of the rest of my life with ordinariness." Lu Zhitao's literary and sentimental words.
Anyway, the young people in Mojia Village have been struggling all the time, so she doesn't mind saying a few good words to make him happy.
Mo Lengzhou's heart was deeply moved by Lu Zhitao's simple yet profound words, and his affectionate gaze revealed infinite tenderness and love.
"Tao'er, it's enough for us to have two children, one like you and one like me, and we can live a happy life as a family of four."
His voice was like a low melody, gently rippling in the breeze, carrying irrepressible tenderness and warmth.
Lu Zhitao couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this man was becoming more and more skilled in flirting, and she couldn't resist him anymore.
Mo Lengzhou bent down slightly and gently held her in his arms. The warmth in his arms blended with his heartbeat, like a slowly flowing stream.
Lu Zhitao felt extremely safe and peaceful. His arms were like a broad harbor, surrounding her in warmth.
"Tao'er, we will be together for the rest of our lives." He said affectionately.
His voice was low and magnetic, as if expressing endless longing.
Every word was like warm sunshine, penetrating the softest corner of her heart and illuminating the emotions hidden deep in her heart.
She looked up and gazed into his eyes, her deep and bright eyes revealing a burning emotion.
Just like the surging tide stirring up her heart, the sounds of each other's breathing and heartbeats intertwined into a gentle melody.
Her cheeks flushed slightly as she felt the warmth of his chest, mingling with her own heartbeat...
The young people in Mojia Village and the refugees at the foot of the mountain are full of energy and enthusiasm. They are unwilling to rest even on New Year's Day.
They just wanted to save more food for emergencies, as they were really afraid of starving.
In the imperial palace of the capital, although the treasury had long been empty, there was still a lively and warm atmosphere at this time of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.
Eunuchs and palace maids were busy shuttling between the halls, carrying silver trays filled with fragrant food.
Occasionally, the laughter of concubines and princes could be heard from the palaces, breaking the fear of famine.
At this time, in the imperial kitchen, the chefs were busy by the stove, and the sound of pots and pans clattering together was like a rhythmic piece of music.
The fragrant dumplings are steaming quietly in the steamer, and the fried rice cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, emitting an enticing aroma that makes you salivate.
"Hurry up, faster, the imperial kitchen must be lively!" An elderly imperial chef commanded seriously, with a hint of pride in his voice.
His face was full of wrinkles of time, but at this moment it glowed with a youthful glow due to excitement.
The young royal chefs next to them worked together to carefully arrange each dish beautifully.
It seems that every piece of food carries people’s beautiful expectations for the New Year.
At dusk when the lanterns are first lit, every corner within the palace walls is decorated with lanterns, creating a dreamlike scene.
The red light shines on the ancient stone pillars, outlining a moving New Year picture. Even though the treasury is empty, the prosperity in the palace still shines.
It seems to be telling everyone that although the years are hard, the imperial power and wealth are still so beautiful.
The old emperor stood at the window of the imperial study, looking at the lights outside that were gradually lighting up.
The stars are shining brightly in the night sky, but his health is getting worse and worse, and the longing in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Surrounded by the layers of palace walls and the shadows of political intrigue, he felt extremely anxious.
He sighed, "Ah... Xiao Dezi, do you think Long Yi and the others will find him?"
"Your Majesty, Long Yi is so powerful, he will definitely be able to find the eldest grandson." Eunuch De's voice trembled like a leaf swaying in the autumn wind.
He nodded slightly, holding a cup of hot tea respectfully in both hands, a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, "Your Majesty, please have some hot tea."
Eunuch De's face, eroded by time, was covered with wrinkles, like a mottled ancient painting.
He looked around, and the splendor of the palace cast colorful shadows in the candlelight.
Every brick and tile in this palace is gorgeous, but dangers lurk beneath this gorgeous appearance.
In reality, what he wanted to say was: In this vast sea of people, where can we find the missing eldest grandson of the emperor?!
If I had known this would be the outcome, why would I have let it go in the first place?
The child who was like a bright star was only three years old but was swallowed by darkness.
Eunuch De felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. Imagining the helpless figure of the eldest grandson of the emperor in a strange place, his inner anxiety surged like a torrent.
At this moment, the old emperor sat on the luxurious dragon throne, his eyes no longer as deep as before.
Like a pearl covered with dust, his brows were furrowed, and the words of Eunuch De in his ears were like a breeze, vague and indistinct.
But in his heart, all kinds of uneasy thoughts intertwined into a huge net, wrapping him tightly.
This once omnipotent king now feels a little powerless, and only hopes that Long Yi can find his eldest grandson.
If he is not found when he dies, then the future of Nanzhao will be over.
The wind outside the palace blew gently, bringing a hint of chill, as if reminding him of the urgency of time.
The palms of his hands holding the teacup were slightly sweaty, and the clear anxiety made him feel a little suffocated.
He couldn't help but shudder and prayed silently in his heart: I hope Long Yi can find the eldest grandson as he wished.
"Your Majesty, I'm back." Long Yi's excited voice was like the sound of nature, breaking through the silence of the palace and sounding particularly loud.
"Your Majesty, I have found the elixir of immortality." His voice trembled a little, as if he was suppressing his inner excitement.
"Where have you seen the elixir of immortality? Tell me slowly." The old emperor asked without interest.
What I want to know most is the news about the eldest grandson, but Long Yi talked about those unfounded elixirs of immortality. He really thinks I am old and confused!
"Your Majesty, I have seen the Crown Prince, whose face looks ageless. Do you think he has taken the elixir of immortality?"
"Yes, Long Yi is really amazing. Xiao Dezi will reward him with a cup of hot tea." The old emperor said in a kind voice.
"Yes! I'll pour the tea right away." Eunuch De's hands were shaking with excitement, but he was still complaining in his heart.
Long Yi is a martial arts master, not only has he no rivals in Nanzhao, but it is even difficult to find an opponent in the Six Kingdoms.
Unfortunately, his brain is not very flexible, so His Majesty usually only lets him guard His Majesty and rarely sends him out to do things.
Unexpectedly, fools have good luck. This fool actually found the eldest grandson of the emperor!
Eunuch De excitedly held a cup of hot tea in his hands and handed it to Long Yi, "Long... Sir, please have some tea."
"Thank you, Eunuch De, gulp...gulp..." Long drank up the tea in the cup in just two gulps.
"Your Majesty, there is a magical well in Mojia Village. That water can make crops mature quickly and can also make people immortal."
Long Yi's voice was so loud that the entire imperial study room vibrated slightly because of his voice.
