Chapter 413 The woman deep in the underground palace
In the underground palace, Emperor Wu looked gloomily at the group of Taoist priests in front of him who looked numb.
Among them, the elder has white hair, and the youngest is eight years old.
But without exception, these people's eyes were filled with despair.
They have been locked up in this dark underground palace for who knows how many years, even the boy has been locked up for more than two years.
Although Emperor Wu gave their family great wealth, as a Taoist, even if they had a family, they did not have many relatives.
But they knew that entering the underground palace meant losing their freedom forever. Unless they refined the elixir of immortality for Emperor Wu, there was still a glimmer of hope.
At this time, someone respectfully walked up to Emperor Wu carrying a tray. The red pill on it was particularly eye-catching.
There was a hint of eagerness in Emperor Wu's eyes, but he had no intention of taking it.
"Your Majesty, Sakura Empress has already taken this elixir. After taking it, the empress looked radiant and the wrinkles on her face disappeared a lot."
No one knew that the Sakura Empress back then was now a drug tester.
Of course, besides this Sakura Lady, there are many other medicine slaves.
Sakura Empress is just the final tester of the medicine. She will only let Sakura Empress take it after other slaves have taken the medicine and it is confirmed that it is effective and does no harm to the body.
Even so, Sakura Empress herself has not remembered how many pills she took until now.
After hearing this man's words, Emperor Wu frowned, "It has dissipated a lot, which means it is not completely dissipated, which means that this elixir is still unsuccessful, right?"
Hearing this cold tone, the man didn't feel scared at all.
They knew that sometimes Emperor Wu would kill some Taoists out of anger, but for them, this was a kind of relief, so they were no longer afraid of death.
However, they cannot take the initiative to seek death, otherwise, their families will be harmed.
"Your Majesty, we have tried our best. This is the most successful elixir so far. According to our calculations, this elixir can prolong life for a hundred years."
The so-called effectiveness of a hundred years is just their own speculation. As for whether this is the case, they can only wait for time to verify.
"Extension of life for a hundred years?" Although Emperor Wu was still disappointed, there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes.
If he extends his life by a hundred years, he will also have more time to capture more enlightened people and come back to refine elixirs for him.
He eagerly held the elixir in his hand, but being cautious by nature, he did not rush to take it. Instead, he turned around and left the alchemy room with the elixir, heading towards the depths of the underground palace.
Although Emperor Wu didn't say much, this result already made the Taoists heave a sigh of relief.
At that time, Emperor Wu came to a huge room in the deepest part, which can be said to be the most exquisite place in the entire underground palace.
There are pavilions, pavilions, ponds and gardens. God knows how much manpower and material resources were needed to build this exquisite palace.
There are still a large number of cherry blossoms planted in the garden, but it seems that due to the lack of sunlight, the cherry blossom trees have failed to show their flute strips.
But in the middle, there was a beautifully dressed woman sitting there on her knees, quietly studying the tea ceremony.
The woman in this scene was particularly out of place and seemed out of place with the surrounding scene.
After Emperor Wu arrived, he naturally sat next to the woman.
One hand unceremoniously hugged the slender waist, and the other hand directly pinched the woman's cheek and looked at her carefully.
"My beloved concubine is becoming more and more beautiful. It reminds me of the way I looked when I first met her. She was still so beautiful."
The woman looked calm. She knew that Emperor Wu was just looking at her changes after taking the pill.
"His Majesty is much older, and there is one more wrinkle on his face. It seems that His Majesty has been troubled by a lot of things in recent days."
Faced with the woman's direct words, Emperor Wu, instead of being angry, sighed, "Only my beloved concubine understands me best."
With that said, he also let go of the woman.
The woman also picked up the brewed tea and fed it to Emperor Wu's mouth with her own hands.
Enjoying the woman's service, Emperor Wu's hands began to become dishonest again.
He was very strange. It seemed that when he faced the woman in front of him, he would always be aroused with strong desire, which always gave him the illusion of becoming young again.
The woman also handed the red rope to Emperor Wu's hand very sensibly, took off her gauze skirt on her own initiative, and stretched out her hands.
She knew that Emperor Wu didn't trust her and would completely tie her hands and feet even when they were intimate.
And every time he did this, Emperor Wu's eyes would become more fanatical.
Emperor Wu was also very skilled in his techniques, and soon, a different kind of atmosphere was echoing in the garden.
A moment later, the woman snuggled obediently into Emperor Wu's arms. Her hands and feet were still tied, but even though she was red, she didn't complain at all.
This made Emperor Wu couldn't help but sigh, "I really love and hate you. I really can't bear to let you leave me, so don't blame me for being cruel to you. I have always had a wish to be with you forever.
For the immortal couple, this time the elixir of immortality is relatively successful and can extend life for a hundred years, but it is not enough. I want to live with you for thousands of years."
Perhaps for others, if they heard these words, they would be ecstatic.
But this woman did not. She just said softly: "Does Your Majesty really think that being immortal means you can be happy forever?"
Emperor Wu raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it right? I have unlimited life and supreme rights. Next, I will also set out to unify the world and achieve great hegemony. At that time, I will conquer all the people in the world.
Capture all the capable people and let them work together to make me the real elixir of life."
Yes, after learning that he could extend his life for another hundred years, Emperor Wu's ambition began to agitate.
Of course, what Emperor Wu didn't say was that this had a lot to do with the powerful weapon invented by Wu Yuan.
Otherwise, even if his life span is extended for another hundred years, he may not be interested.
After all, war is risky. If you lose the battle and are killed, no matter how long you live, it won't be enough.
Therefore, Emperor Wu thought very clearly, and even had some changes in his mentality regarding Wu Yuan's matter.
The woman also showed a little surprise after hearing Emperor Wu's words. Based on her understanding of Emperor Wu, she had already guessed that Emperor Wu must have a certain degree of confidence before he dared to say such bold words.
But where did this certainty come from? She had no way of knowing.
But there was a trace of worry in his eyes. If Emperor Wu really wanted to unify the world, it would definitely affect Japan.
"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you. Is it okay?"
