Chapter 290 The Imperial Concubine and the Immortal Master

Da Meng Jingshi, the main hall of the Longevity Palace in the Forbidden City.

"I'm telling you, Master Bai is already waiting outside the palace."

Hearing the eunuch's report, Wan Zhen'er got up immediately. As a noble concubine, she didn't show the arrogance of a high-ranking person in the matter of the immortal master, and went to meet the alchemist named Bai Luan outside the hall in person.

By the way, this Bai Luan is really not simple.In the entire Dameng Dynasty, no matter whether it was Jinyiwei or Dongchang, no one could find out who this immortal master named Bai Luan was and who he studied under.Even before this person appeared in Dengzhou Prefecture, Shandong, no one had ever seen this person.Jin Yiwei once asserted that if this person hadn't been an escapee (black household) before, then Bai Luan could only have jumped out of a crack in the rock!

Bai Luan always insisted that he came across the sea from Pengshan Fairyland (not Penglai Fairy Mountain, anyone who mentions Penglai Fairy Mountain will be treated as driving!), although he was ridiculed by sailors who often go to sea when he just arrived in Dengzhou, But Bai Luan didn't take it seriously, and often called these sailors a despicable scourge.Of course, Bai Luan's arrogance naturally has its merits. It is said that his superb medical skills, which are almost immortal, quickly became famous in Dengzhou.In the end, the prefect of Dengzhou dedicates Bai Luan as the auspiciousness of Dengzhou to the current Holy Majesty.

In the early years, Emperor Shenghua took more medicine from tigers and wolves, and his health deteriorated day by day, and it even affected the government in the past two years.But under Bai Luan's conditioning, in less than half a year, Emperor Shenghua regained his vitality.For a time, the atmosphere of the court was completely new.

As for Emperor Shenghua, although he has always obeyed Bai Luan's suggestions for recuperation.But on one thing, she never believed in any "nonsense" that Bai Luan said, and even firmly believed that it was impossible - immortality.

As early as when Bai Luan first recuperated the emperor's body, he would often reveal to Sheng Hua in words that he had the method of refining the elixir of life.But Shenghua always dismissed it, until finally ordered Bai Luan not to mention it again.

But Bai Luan always seemed to have the ambition to refine the elixir of life. After he touched his forehead in front of the emperor, he naturally turned his attention to those high-ranking and powerful guys inside and outside the Forbidden City.

Wynn?
Forget it, the topic of eternal life in Tangtang is even more scoffed at than the emperor, besides, they are wondering when they can give up their picks!

Shang Ming?

No way, this guy is thinking all day long about how he can leave his position as the admiral of the East Factory alive, and he has no time to care about immortality.

Wan Heng?

Don't look at him as Concubine Wan Gui's elder brother, but this man's role as a mascot in Jinyiwei is greater than his actual ability, not to mention whether the assassination of the crown prince was done by him or not.But Bai Luan thinks Wan Heng is not capable of such a bold thing.

Wanan?

When the chief assistant?Forget it, this is the old bastard who is superficial, muddled along, and sits on a vegetarian diet...

Li Zisheng?
Liu Ji?

Liang Fang?

It's all just rubbish!
At this time, another powerful figure suddenly entered Bai Luan's field of vision. This person was the most favored concubine in the harem who had just been ordered by the emperor to confine her to the Longevity Palace because of the assassination of the prince. !

For this reason, Bai Luan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to ask Concubine Wan Gui to be an envoy, and he didn't have any specific requirements, he just wanted to speak a few words of kindness for him in front of Concubine Wan Gui.And Bai Luan never thought that such an opportunity would come so soon!

However, just when Concubine Wan Gui decided to summon Bai Luan, Bai Luan had to leave the capital for some reason.As for what he said...

"Please take this to tell your concubine that I have already taken a long vacation from the imperial hospital, and I am preparing to go to the famous mountains and rivers to find precious medicinal materials for refining life-prolonging pills. When I show up again, I will definitely offer it to you with both hands. This medicine is to keep the empress forever youthful!"

Ever since, Bai Luan disappeared for more than a year.On the same day when Bao'er won the Battle of Chunri City, Bai Luan also appeared outside the Longevity Palace again, waiting to meet Concubine Wan Gui!

Wan Zhen'er came to the main entrance of Longevity Palace in person, and led Bai Luan, who hadn't appeared for a long time, into the main hall where she had to stop.And Bai Luan also gave Wan Zhen'er a lot of face, the moment she entered the hall, she knelt down on the ground, holding a delicate tortoise shell box in both hands, walked in front of the imperial concubine's couch.

"My minister has lived up to your empress's trust, and finally refined two life-prolonging pills, one of which is naturally prepared for you, your empress. As for the other one, please trouble your empress to present it to Your Majesty yourself!"

Wan Zhen'er finished the box, and said leisurely: "Bai Qing's family has a heart, raise your head and answer."

But as soon as Bai Luan raised his head, he saw a half-aged woman with a haggard face and a lifeless look between her brows!But this Concubine Wan Gui, who looks like her life is not long, is exactly the opportunity that Bai Luan has dreamed of!Therefore, Bai Luan pretended to be rude by being frightened by Concubine Wan Gui, and deliberately attracted Wan Zhen'er's attention.

The envoy next to Wan Zhen'er saw Bai Luan's appearance, and immediately shouted angrily: "Bold!"

Although Wan Zhen'er was also a little annoyed by Bai Luan's performance, she was even more curious about why Bai Luan, who is known as a "half immortal", had such an unbearable performance.

"Return to your mother, my minister... dare not speak."

"This Palace tells you to speak, so you speak!"

"But..." Bai Luan intentionally paused for a moment, and turned to ask Wan Zhen'er in an anticlimactic manner: "May I ask you, do you often feel symptoms of poor Qi and blood, palpitation, palpitation, and dizziness recently?"

"I……"

Without waiting for Wan Zhen'er to reply, Bai Luan suddenly got up boldly and asked forcefully: "I have the courage to ask your mother again, do you know how long you can live?"

"Bold!"

Seeing that Bai Luan was rude, the emissaries came up and prepared to arrest him.But the actions of the envoys were stopped by Concubine Wan Gui, and they also took the initiative to answer Bai Luan's question:
"I thought that my life was not long..."

"Your Majesty!" Several emissaries suddenly added drama to themselves, knelt down in front of Wan Zhen'er, weeping and shouted: "Young Lady will definitely live for a hundred years, good luck!"

"Noisy!" Wan Zhen'er uttered, causing the emissaries present to suppress their snot and crying, and asked again:
"Then Bai Qing's family, how long do you think I can live?"

Bai Luan stretched out a slap with a dignified expression, and said bluntly, "5 months! At most!"

However, Concubine Wan Gui, who heard this number, did not show any negative emotions, instead she asked Bai Luan with a slight smile: "Since Bai Qing's family dared to come to see me, there must be a way to save me, right? "

Bai Luan did not answer directly, but walked out of the hall alone, looked at the sun in the sky, returned to Concubine Wan Gui again, and reported respectfully: "My lady, I just arrived at noon. If you believe my minister, I also ask the empress to take a piece of ammunition offered by the minister under the sun outside the main hall with the strongest white wine at three quarters noon. By tomorrow, empress, you will naturally understand whether the minister can cure the empress !"

After hearing Bai Luan's words, Wan Zhen'er said that she was not excited, it was all a lie.But Wan Zhen'er is not only excited at this time, but also a little scared, she is afraid that she will die suddenly after taking the Yishou Yannian Pill.But……

"There are only two of these pills in the world. If my lady wants to order my ministers to refine them again, I'm afraid they will have to wait until next year's Mid-Autumn Moonlight Night to make them!"

In fact, what Bai Luan said was just two words: "There are only two pills. After you find someone to test the medicine, you either don't take it, or the emperor doesn't take it. You can decide on your own. As for whether you choose to give the medicine to the emperor after the test." , that is your own business! When the time comes, you can afford to wait, and the emperor can also afford to wait, but whether the emperor will let you wait is another matter!"

Wan Zhen'er knew very well that during the year of being imprisoned in the Longevity Palace, her health was deteriorating, and in the past six months she felt that her life was not long.She thought she could last for another three to five years, but she didn't expect that she might be able to survive two years in the end.

As the saying goes: give it a go and turn your bike into a motorcycle!Therefore, in the end, Wan Zhen'er could only give up her heart, and decided not to find someone to test the medicine, but to take the Yishou Yannian Pill by herself.

"Come here! Send a message to my palace, lunch is postponed, and bring me the strongest wine in the imperial dining room. I want to drink that day at noon!"
