The more Qin Zhongwan thought about it, the more he felt that it was deeply thought-provoking and terrifying.

Hearing this, Gu Siyuan sighed, "Those Taoist priests have great methods, and they only use the medicinal properties of the elixir that will be verified in the future. If it is fake..."

Gu Siyuan did not continue, but a stern look flashed in his eyes, indicating that danger was coming.

Immortality is something that only exists in myths and stories. If you can truly live forever and become an immortal, I am afraid that everyone in the world will be looking for it. Who would have the energy to farm, support a family, practice business and practice medicine?

Qin Zhongwan's pharmacology since elementary school has found that there are no herbs that can keep youth forever, or even rejuvenate.

She had never believed in the theory of immortality, and she felt from the bottom of her heart that those Taoist priests were cheating.

However, the emperor's heart is elusive. He made up his mind to trust those Taoist priests. Qin Zhongwan could not stupidly rush to the emperor and say that they were just a group of deceitful sorcerers!

Provoking the emperor to hold a grudge without speaking out, causing disaster, isn't it like setting yourself on fire?

Gu Siyuan also understood the reason. Why wasn't he so suspicious in his heart?

"Let's wait until the ancestor worship ceremony is over. Right now, my father's mind has been made and no one can refute it."

On the day of the ancestor worship ceremony, Qin Zhongwan was not eligible to enter the palace. He could only stand in his yard. Looking in the direction of the palace from a distance, he could see the curling green smoke and hear the heavy ringing of bells. The ancestor worship ceremony must have begun. .

Qin Xiaoyun, as a goddess revered by the people, met by chance and provided the emperor with the elixir of immortality for the Taoist priests to study. It can be said that she was a major contributor to the emperor's pursuit of immortality.

The daughter of an ordinary family was not eligible to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, but the emperor made an exception for Qin Xiaoyun and allowed her to participate.

Everyone in Qin Xiaoyun's yard was so proud.

"They really thought that one person had achieved enlightenment, and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven."

Feiyue said disdainfully, Qin Zhongwan smiled and was unfazed by this.

The grand ancestor worship ceremony lasted for several hours. The complicated etiquette was exhausting, and many people looked ruthless. I wonder if the medicine developed by the Taoist priest was really effective, but the emperor seemed to be in high spirits. After a few hours, he was not tired at all. Instead, he was very interested in letting the courtiers bring their female relatives to attend the palace banquet.

At the palace night banquet, Qin Zhongwan had no intention of going to see the excitement, but Chu Changying was determined to go. As the prime minister's wife, Liu Lanyan naturally couldn't be absent.

"You can't bear to watch me go alone with my mother, can you? I'm afraid my mother won't be able to answer when others ask her, let alone Qin Xiaoyun. Knowing that you didn't go, you might be feeling very proud!"

Chu Changying's straightforward words convinced Qin Zhongwan.

Qin Zhongwan didn't intend to stand out today. Even his clothes were only decent, not stunning.

She walked in with her mother and sister-in-law, and the banquet was arranged with deep meaning.

The emperor was of course self-evident, sitting in a high position unique among thousands, but the people under him were not the queen nor the prince, but actually those Taoist priests.

They were regarded as national advisors by the emperor. As their appearance was the key to immortality, they were deeply valued by the emperor. Their status also increased, and now they are sitting directly under the emperor's table.

He was vaguely ahead of the empress and prince. It was conceivable that he was second only to the emperor.

Qin Xiaoyun's expression became arrogant after receiving the honor of sitting with the Imperial Master.
