After rebirth, I became a national teacher

The government office where the Yuan family lived was located in the south city, a long distance away from Cihang Temple. Even though the mountain road had been repaired, it was now night and the walking speed was greatly affected. It would take at least two and a half hours to get there.

In order to prevent any accidents on the road, Censor Yuan also begged the doctor from Xinglin Chuntang to take care of him on the road.

Fortunately, we brought a doctor with us. On the way, Mrs. Yuan had two convulsions and she was barely calmed down after we stopped the car and gave her acupuncture to suppress the convulsions.

It was only two hours, but Censor Yuan felt like it was a year. When he got off the car, his entire back was wet.

But he didn't care about all these. He asked the coachman and the doctor to look after Old Madam Yuan, then immediately climbed up the stairs and anxiously knocked on the door of Cihang Temple.

Chen Qingzhu had sharp senses, and he woke up from his meditation when he heard the knocking on the door outside the temple.

Not long after, I heard Huiyun running hurriedly and knocking on the door:

"Master, Censor Yuan came to visit late at night and said his wife was critically ill. He asked you to give him the elixir to save her life."

"Bring him and the patient to the reception hall."

Huiyun was stunned for a moment:

"Will the master agree to him so easily?"

This is totally not the master's style.

This Censor Yuan had been to the Taoist temple, but he didn't even burn a stick of incense, which showed that he didn't want to have anything to do with Cihang Temple.

In this case, how can we not set up a proper threshold to let him experience the difficulty of obtaining the elixir, so that he will be more reverent and pious to the master of the temple in the future.

"Yes, go ahead and do it."

Chen Qingzhu said affirmatively.

She knew Huiyun didn't understand.

But to her, Censor Yuan was different from other believers.

This man is talented and capable, and he is an honest official. He is willing to offend all the powerful people in the court in order to reform the law for the people. In this court where corruption is rampant, he can be said to be a breath of fresh air.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to be both a capable minister and an honest official, but this Censor Yuan happened to have both.

Even someone as stubborn and self-willed as the current emperor was willing to put aside the past grudges between the emperor and empress and tried to employ him several times.

How could Chen Qingzhu let go of this rare treasure?

As the most ideal capable and loyal minister in her mind, he deserves respect and is worth spending more time and patience to win over.

After performing a Cleansing Dust Technique to smooth out his Taoist robe which had become wrinkled from practicing for most of the night, Chen Qingzhu then walked to the reception hall.

At this time, Censor Yuan was already waiting in the hall with Old Madam Yuan, feeling extremely anxious and uneasy.

Judging from the temple owner's past behavior, she attaches great importance to her own authority and will not tolerate any disrespect from her believers.

Moreover, judging from that disaster relief effort, this person had some sort of predictable ability.

If she knew what he had done in the past, it would be extremely difficult for him to obtain the elixir to cure his illness today.

But for his wife's life, he would try his best no matter how difficult it was.

He was already prepared, kneeling down and kowtowed to beg, even to give up everything and "sell himself" to Cihang Temple as a slave.

Maybe this still isn't enough.

He was willing to accept any humiliation if it could calm the anger of the temple master.

"Guanzhu."

Hearing the voice of the receptionist Kundao, Censor Yuan subconsciously looked towards the door.

Under the dim light, the female Taoist in white robes looked like a deity descended from the earth, noble, mysterious, and with a majesty that could not be looked directly at.

In almost the blink of an eye, before he could even see how she moved, she sat in the main seat. She raised her hand slightly, and a white porcelain bottle floated out from her sleeve and hovered steadily in front of him.

Censor Yuan's eyes widened in shock.

He had never heard of or seen such a method in his decades of life.

He is indeed a talented person who can conquer so many wealthy and noble believers.

"Yuan Yushi, here is the elixir. Take it and give it to your wife."

Her voice was cold yet gentle.

Censor Yuan, who had just come to his senses, was stunned again.

Is this the magical elixir that is said to cure all diseases?

So many wealthy businessmen and officials dreamed of having this celestial dew, and had come to Cihang Temple to be humble and serve as servants for many days, and had tried every means to please the emperor. In addition, they had made great contributions in disaster relief, and only then would they be granted this celestial dew. But it was given to him so easily?

There was no show of authority as he had imagined, no difficulties or barriers, which made him feel like he was dreaming and unreal.

"This... Master, don't you need me to do anything for you?"

The abbot at the top raised his lips slightly:

"Of course, the elixir from my Cihang Temple is never given away for free. Give your wife the medicine first, and we can deal with other matters later."

Upon hearing this, Censor Yuan immediately reached out and took the porcelain bottle. At Huiyun's suggestion, he removed the stopper and fed the nectar into Old Madam Yuan's mouth.

After a while, the scorching heat on Madam Yuan's body quickly disappeared, and the color of her lips turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She opened her eyes, pushed Censor Yuan away, and sneezed twice.

Then he stretched his arms and sighed deeply:

"I haven't felt so comfortable and relaxed in a long time! I feel like I've become several years younger!"

Seeing Censor Yuan beside him, he immediately asked curiously:

"Old man, what did you give me to eat just now? How come my illness was cured all of a sudden... Uh, Taoist Huiyun, I'm here at Cihang Temple!"
