Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

The friendship between monarch and minister can only be sublimated when they have the same goals.

The emperor was unwilling to live under the Supreme Emperor for a long time, especially when the Supreme Emperor was more popular among the people and ministers than he was. It is too difficult for him to surpass the Supreme Emperor, and now he has the strongest desire to bring down this mountain.

And Jia Zheng understood that he supported him and was willing to bet his entire family on his victory. Now that he was about to succeed, how could he not be happy?

"If it really comes true, my beloved will take the lead, and I will definitely reward you greatly!"

The emperor's joy could no longer be hidden. He seemed to have seen the Supreme Emperor greedily swallowing the poison after returning to the palace. With Jia Jingang's ascension, his death would not have any impact on him.

"Your Majesty, don't be too happy too early. The Supreme Emperor is far more resourceful than you and me. We suspect that he will not eat tonight, but will wait for His Majesty's next move."

"Ok?"

The emperor was surprised, but thinking about it carefully, it was true.

His sensitivity and suspicion were inherited from the Supreme Emperor. To say who is the most suspicious, it is undoubtedly his father.

"My dear, what should I do?"

He couldn't play this drama of a loving father and a filial son for one day!

"Xia Daban must have a solution for this matter."

Jia Zheng pulled out Xia Wushu, who was silent on the side. Now this conspiracy is fully coordinated by the eunuch chief. Apart from coming up with an idea and persuading Jia Jing to participate, Jia Zheng did not interfere in other matters.

At least in the eyes of outsiders, this matter has nothing to do with Jia Zheng. He was just lucky enough to have a god in his family, and he was rewarded by the emperor.

"Ok?"

The emperor looked at Xia Daban, and the eunuch in charge had already received advice from Jia Zheng, preparing to add bricks and tiles to his promotion path.

He has wanted to be the "internal prime minister" for a long time, just like the Supreme Emperor suppressed the Emperor, and Dai Quan also suppressed him.

That old guy has been there for too long and has hindered the advancement of many people.

"Yes, I came up with an idea, and Mr. Jia said it's great!"

Xia Wushu smiled flatteringly, leaned close to the emperor and spoke out the follow-up.

Fortunately, Jia Zheng did not forget his roots and knew who was working the hardest, so he knew how to make room for him.

"In that case, Jia Aiqing should go back! Let Xia Daban do the work here!"

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, contented. Whether it is Xia Daban or Jia Zheng who does this, they are all in his hands. After the death of the Supreme Emperor, there will naturally be time to deal with them.

Sure enough, the Emperor who received the elixir did not directly take the elixir. Instead, he asked someone from the Imperial Medical Office to carefully examine the powder scraped from the elixir.

"Wei Chen only sees that this powder does have the effect of longevity. If you smell it carefully, it seems to be a thousand-year-old ginseng."

"I can still taste it. This medicinal powder has very little smell of Ganoderma. If you use these things, it should be a great tonic."

The two doctors who were accustomed to the emperor came to the conclusion first, and the rest of the people said so. Even if they are different, they are just different medicinal materials that have been studied, but they are all said to have the effect of nourishing the body.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

After seeing off the imperial doctors, Dai Quan happily thanked the Emperor, but the Emperor's expression was dull and he was not as excited as when he first learned about the elixir during the day.

"Your Majesty, please take it as soon as possible! To avoid long nights and nightmares."

He supports the Supreme Emperor's longevity and Tianqi. As long as the Supreme Emperor is alive, he can die of old age and death in peace.

"Ha!" But the Supreme Emperor had no intention of taking it. He held it in his hand and played with it for a while, then threw it on the table. But Dai Quan was quite frightened.

"Your Majesty? This...could it be that your Majesty suspects that this elixir...is fake?"

"That's not true."

The Supreme Emperor shook his head, remembering Jia Jing's weird smile before he died, and secretly hated it in his heart.

"It is recorded in ancient and modern history books that many people ascended to immortality. The First Emperor even ordered to ask for elixirs. It is true that this happened."

The Supreme Emperor himself is an alchemy enthusiast and has collected many ancient books before. He also has the recipe for the Seven Colorful Auspicious Immortality Pill here. It's just that I wasn't as lucky as Jia Jing and refined it myself.

In fact, he could find out whether the elixir was real or fake without anyone testing it.

"The elixir is real, but it's a pity that it's not the right time to offer it! If Jia Jing had offered it when I was in power, where would the prince be? Now that the prince and I have seen this thing together, if I eat it, he won't be trapped." Am I unkind? Jia Jing’s heart is not right!”

Dai Quan had previously suspected that the elixir was wrong. He was familiar with Jia Jing. In the past, Jia Jing was obsessed with pursuing power, but he had no way of becoming an immortal.

He didn't expect that even the Supreme Emperor would admit that this elixir was real. This was a surprise to him. When he looked at the pill box again, his eyes couldn't help but scorch.

After all, who doesn’t want to live forever?

How could the Supreme Emperor not see what he looked like? Knowing that Dai Quan was also greedy for the elixir, his eyes turned colder when he looked at the elixir box.

"Don't even think about it. You won't even have an egg in this life, and your body will be incomplete. Even if you live forever, what's the point?"

The Supreme Emperor threw the pill box to Dai Quan, "If you can become a man after eating it, what if I give it to you?"

Dai Quan hurriedly accepted it, smiling awkwardly. Faced with the ridicule of the Supreme Emperor, he still responded with self-deprecation. He knew that the Supreme Emperor really wanted to take the elixir now, but he lacked an excuse.

In front of the Supreme Emperor, he placed the pill box in the secret compartment before standing up and retreating.

The candlelight in the room shines through the grating on the window, reflecting on his back. Dai Quan looked at his green palms expressionlessly and smiled.

As expected, Jia Jing was unkind and put poison on the pill box that Dai Quan knew about. If the Emperor hadn't ridiculed him, he would have loyally reminded the Emperor. But now...

"Since we can't live long, let's die together!"

Dai Quan looked fierce.

By the time Jia Zheng returned home, it was already dark. Mrs. Wang received the news and hurried over to greet her. She saw that Jia Zheng seemed to be extremely tired. As soon as he returned to his room, he lay down on the soft couch.

"Master, what happened? Why are people outside so panicked? Today, Zhen'er's wife from Dongfu came over and cried, saying that Zhen'er was taken away by the soldiers, and Brother Xiaorong didn't come back either."

Mrs. Wang was worried, and she personally served tea to Jia Zheng and said, "Will this matter affect us? Is there nothing wrong with our family?"

"Where's Baoyu?"

Jia Zheng asked the question without answering. Knowing that Baoyu and Daiyu were playing together at Jia Mu's place, he rubbed his head and said nothing happened.

"It's just that Brother Jing in the Taoist Temple refined the elixir and presented it to the royal family. Now that the emperor was happy, he rewarded Zhen'er and Brother Rong. Maybe he asked them to go to the Taoist Temple to receive the reward, but the palace didn't know about it yet."

Jia Zheng did not reveal any secrets in his words, but only said things that outsiders knew.

Because he knew that the emperor would not specifically canonize Jia Qiang, so he could devise another plan here.

It's a pity that Wang Zizai and Master Wen are not around, so he alone still lacks a helper for planning.

"If Baoyu is fine later, ask him to come see me."

"Amitabha!" Mrs. Wang was relieved and said to her husband with a gentle face:

"I see, Baoyu has really improved when he went out with the master. The old lady praised her when she saw it..."
