Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Yan Songyu was very patient, with a smile on his face all the time, and he took out a jade bottle from his cuff calmly after the three crisp sounds were over.

"My lord, the old rules."

He reminded him, then stepped forward solemnly, and handed the jade bottle into the palm of King Jubei.

"I see!"

King Jubei didn't take his eyes off the jade bottle from the very beginning, holding it tightly with both hands, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

After a while, he took off the cork and put the jade bottle to his nose first.

"Humph--"

Immediately, a touch of rosiness appeared on the withered face of the king of rejecting the North, as if the light had returned.

Then, trembling again, he carefully poured the elixir from the jade bottle into his palm with trembling hands, his every movement was surprisingly slow, but he stubbornly refused to call for help.

It was as if he was afraid that the elixir he got would fly away.

When the old eunuch Yan Songyu saw this scene, while he sneered in his heart, he was also filled with emotion:

Only at this time, this king of a different surname who claimed to have cut off enough liver and gallbladder for a table to drink, would show a trace of fear in front of people.

How sad and pathetic!

"This Dan..."

Jiang Qingyu lowered her head and glanced secretly.

The elixir that Yan Songyu brought looked ordinary, no different from the one he got from Xu Xiaosi.

But he had long suspected that there was something wrong with the elixir that the old eunuch sent every year. Otherwise, why would he have to take it face to face with the King of the North? more serious?

"Ugh……"

Jiang Qingyu sighed inwardly.

He wanted to secretly drop the elixir, but first, Yan Songyu, who was at the peak of the Luminous Sun Realm, was watching too closely, and couldn't find a chance at all. Second, if the elixir brought by Yan Songyu was really problematic , and after taking the pill from Xu Xiaosi, the king of the North refused to take the pill, and his condition improved visibly...

Then with Yan Songyu's eyesight, he will definitely notice the clue.

At that time, not only will it be dangerous to reject the Northern King, but the matter of killing Xu Xiaosi himself may also be revealed!

Therefore, Jiang Qingyu should not care about anything at this time.

Anyway, no matter how problematic the elixir is, it will certainly be able to continue the life of King Rejecting the North. Now Emperor Jing Hong doesn't want to cause chaos in the northern territory for the time being, otherwise he won't let Yan Songyu come all the way with the medicine.

"Cough cough!"

King Jubei coughed a few times, and while coughing, he clenched the golden pill with his right hand, and then brought his trembling right hand to his mouth little by little.

"Cough cough..."

He opened his mouth, and in a gesture of wanting to stuff his entire right hand into his mouth, he sent the elixir into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, King Jubei felt hot all over his body, as if he had a high fever for several days and nights, he was sweating continuously, and his spirit was listless.

Only those eyes were still shining brightly, and they became brighter and brighter, as bright as the stars in the night sky.

Jiang Qingyu was the first to see someone taking the Nine-Turn Golden Pill. In the past, when Yan Songyu came to deliver the medicine, he was afraid of being noticed by this old eunuch who suspected he had touched the Innate Fourth Grade Luminous Sun Realm, so he never used Yin Come and see the shape of your body.

When I saw it today, it was a bit misleading.

How can there be any "living dead, flesh and bones"?

They are all deceitful.

The "click" sound of King Jubei's bone translocation could be clearly heard in the room.

His blood was also surging like a tide, and after repeated cycles, his skin glowed a little, and it no longer seemed like a pool of stagnant water.

After a long time...

Jiang Qingyu saw that a layer of old skin had fallen off King Jubei's arms and face.

The new skin still looks slightly sick, but it is not so lifeless.

This means that the order of the King of the North has been successfully continued!

"what--"

"It's great to be alive."

King Jubei stretched his waist lazily, glanced coldly at the old eunuch Yan Songyu with his eyes, and then changed into a face full of kindness:

"Eunuch Yan must be exhausted from all the hard work, why don't you just stay at the mansion first?"

"It's better to let this king show some kindness as a landlord."

At the same time, he squeezed lightly with his right hand——

The jade bottle in his palm that was used to hold the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir turned into powder.

Chapter 42 Winter Hunting is Coming Don’t Say Your Father Didn’t Give You a Chance

The old eunuch Yan Songyu turned a blind eye to the similar provocative actions of rejecting the North King.

He doesn't care about anything with a "dying person".

and……

In the winter 12 years ago, it was he who also secretly came to the palace, and the nobleman in the capital was able to successfully take away the eldest wife Lu Wan'er and the eldest son Jiang Qingshu from the Jubei Palace.

In this matter, he really owed Jiang Qiushui.

Yan Songyu understands Jiang Qiushui's disposition of rejecting the Northern King. This person will take revenge, but he also has a clear grievance.

It was a resentment that I caused him and his wife not to see each other for more than ten years.

That's why Jiang Qiushui provoked himself the moment his condition got better.

But it was kindness that I gave him the golden pill for more than ten years to help him continue his life time and time again.

So thinking about this love, Jiang Qiushui would not really do anything excessive to himself.

What's more, what's so scary about his martial arts practice, which is better than Jiang Qiushui at his peak?

"Since the lord's kindness is hard to refuse, the old slave will be disrespectful."

Yan Songyu agreed to stay in the palace for a few more days.

This matter was beyond Jiang Qingyu's expectations.

In the past, every time Yan Songyu delivered medicine, he came and went in a hurry and never stopped.

As the second of the top ten eunuchs of the Chu State, he had many things to do every day, and he had to stay in the capital as much as possible, by Emperor Jing Hong's side.

But why did you choose to stay this time?

Could it be that Yan Songyu had already learned about Xu Xiaosi's death, that's why he stayed and investigated whether it was related to the Jubei Palace?

"Eunuch Yan is being polite."

King Jubei got off the bed, took off a piece of heavy armor hanging on the wall, stroked it for a long time, and then put it on his body.

From the beginning to the end, his back was straight, without bending at all.

Then, he looked at Yan Songyu with majesty on his face, and said in an undeniable tone:

"Winter hunting is just around the corner. This king wants each of the worthless children to lead a troop northward, and the position of the son will be determined by the amount of military exploits gained."

"This king would like to invite Eunuch Yan to watch the ceremony together. I wonder if it is possible?"

Yan Songyu didn't show a trace of surprise when he heard that the King of the North was going to have a son.

After all, judging from the condition of the King of the North, even if he had the Jindan to continue his life, he would not be able to live for a few years. In order to prevent chaos in the Northern Territory after his death, he must also have a son before his death.

It's just that Yan Songyu originally thought that the King of Rejecting the North would directly designate Jiang Qingjian, the second son with the highest background and reputation, as his son, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually hold a winter hunting competition in the north.

This……

Is it a bit sloppy?

If a certain young lady wins the first place, is it possible that the first woman to be crowned king will appear in Chu State?

Yan Songyu was looking forward to it.

"It's my honor to be able to witness the selection of the prince of the Beibei Palace with my own eyes."

Seeing that Yan Songyu agreed to watch the ceremony, King Bei refused to say any more:

"Then Eunuch Yan, please do what you want."

"I will give Erhu an order that the palace will not guard you, and you can go in and walk around every forbidden area."

"in addition……"

King Jubei glanced at Yan Songyu's muddy boots, and reprimanded the silent Jiang Qingyu:

"Nizi, haven't you seen that Eunuch Yan even stained his boots in order to save his father's life in time?"

"Take off your boots now!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu couldn't help being slightly taken aback when she heard the words.

He can understand that the king of rejecting the North is helping him to ask Yan Songyu for a favor, but...

My boots were hand-stitched by the big maid Lichun stitch by stitch, how can I give them away casually?

You know it's scary for a woman to be ruthless!

Jiang Qingyu dare not take it off, let alone want to take it off.

"Rebel!"

"Are you deaf?"

Seeing Jiang Qingyu standing there motionless, the King of Rejecting Bei had an annoyed look on his face:

"It's simply, it's a rotten wood that cannot be carved!"

The old eunuch Yan Songyu didn't expose the half-truth and half-fake performance of the King of the North, just looked at the boots on Jiang Qingyu's feet with a smile, and asked:

"The fourth son's boots should have a lot of history, right?"

Jiang Qingyu went down the stairs:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that one of my maids sewed these boots by herself. If I give it to someone else, I won't be able to explain it when I go back."

Yan Songyu praised:

"Young master loves his maid, it is the blessing of that maid."

"A gentleman doesn't take what others like, so keep these boots and wear them yourself."

"Don't blame the prince, he is a rough man, and he only has that kind of calculation in his stomach."

He looked at King Rejecting the North, and said:

"My lord doesn't need to do anything extra. Considering the past love, this old slave can guarantee that if the fourth son encounters any troubles in the capital, he can come to the palace to find me."

Upon hearing this, the anger on the face of the King of the North disappeared immediately, and he put on an amiable face:

"My father-in-law Yan took the trouble to take care of you."

Jiang Qingyu also cupped her fists to express her gratitude:

"Thank you, Eunuch Yan, Qingyu."

Although he didn't think he would enter the capital, his biological mother and elder brother were there, and he would definitely have to go there in the future. It's always good to have a good relationship with someone beforehand.

As for whether there is any problem with the medicine sent by Yan Songyu...

What does that matter?

Forging a good relationship first does not mean that swords will not meet in the future.

Yan Songyu nodded slightly, and walked out of the room, but when he pushed the door, he glanced at Jiang Qingyu again, and asked:

"By the way, I don't know the name of the maid who sewed the boots for the Fourth Young Master?"

"beginning of spring."
