Eight hundred and seventeenth chapter overdraft life
But I have to say that if Gu Chengyu can go, this will be his opportunity.
This is not only beneficial to the local people, but also a rare promotion opportunity for Gu Chengyu.
However, he discovered the breach of the embankment first. Therefore, even if he did not go, the emperor would summon him.
So he nodded, "Then I will go with His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The two of them left the East Palace together and walked towards Chengqian Palace. The prince entered the palace to meet the emperor, so naturally the servants did not dare to stop him.
Therefore, the two of them had an unobstructed journey and arrived in front of Chengqian Palace.
"Mr. Chen, has Father taken a break?"
When De'an saw the prince arriving, he felt a little strange that Gu Chengyu was also following him.
Now that the palace is about to be imprisoned, how can His Highness bring Master Gu into the palace?
It's just that he also knows that the two of them are not such unreasonable people, so he doesn't dare to neglect them.
"It turns out that it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Gu. The Emperor is discussing important matters with Grandmaster Tianji at the moment. Please wait a moment for His Highness and Lord Gu, and I will go and report it now."
Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, he knew that if De'an could become the general manager, how could he be so indifferent?
He handed over the sign just now, but I don't know if it was handed over to De'an.
But is Grandmaster Tianji the Taoist Priest who is proficient in alchemy?
I heard that he came to the palace more than ten years ago. Later, the emperor and the other party learned the art of alchemy, and the two often discussed it together.
It's just that Gu Chengyu is not optimistic about this alchemy technique. These refined elixirs contain heavy metals and are highly poisonous.
Even if you don't die on the spot, the poison will be hidden in the body and affect people's longevity.
"Taoist Priest Tianji is the master of the Alchemy Sect, and my father has been taking the elixirs refined by him over the years. In the past, my father's illnesses were all suppressed by the Xiaoyuan Dan he developed, but recently this Xiaoyuan Dan seems to have a negative impact on my father."
The emperor is of no use anymore."
His Highness the Prince's voice sounded leisurely, and Gu Chengyu perked up as soon as he heard it.
"Xiaoyuan Dan? Did the emperor take it alone?"
Gu Chengyu didn't speak too clearly, but he believed that the prince could understand it.
"Because the medicinal materials are precious, the cost is huge, and the elixir-making rate is extremely low. So at that time, in addition to finding someone to test the elixir, the elixir refined each time was only enough for my father to take. Besides, there are three main medicinal ingredients that are extremely
It is rare, which makes the elixir even more precious."
The prince turned his attention to the majestic palace in front. At this time, night was gradually falling. The palace was like a giant beast hidden in the darkness, looking ferocious and terrifying!
"The Xiaohuan Dan has lost its effectiveness. Two days ago, Taoist Priest Tianji refined the longevity elixir for my father. This elixir is more effective than the Xiaoyuan Dan and can even extend your life by five years."
Five years? Gu Chengyu was very surprised and involuntarily turned his head and glanced at the prince.
Because the palace lantern opposite was blown around by the wind, the prince's face flickered brightly and darkly against the backdrop of the palace lantern.
"Master Gu, do you believe that there is a life-prolonging pill in this world? Do you believe that there is an elixir of life in this world?"
The prince whispered softly, and he closed his eyes gently, suppressing the emotions in his eyes.
Gu Chengyu calmed down and did not directly answer the prince's words, "Is there a way to get this longevity pill?"
Even his spiritual spring only has the effect of strengthening the body when it is first taken. Unless there are cultivators in this world, there is no way to prolong life and longevity.
The prince chuckled softly, "What? Mr. Gu is also interested in this elixir? Unfortunately, Taoist Priest Tianji spent countless resources and treasures, and it took several years to get two of them. One of them was taken by himself.
, one was given to the father."
"I heard that one of the main herbs is very rare. My father ordered people to search outside for four years but still found nothing. Finally, Taoist Priest Tianji found this one."
"Then this medicine is really rare!" Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows. He originally wanted to see what kind of medicine Taoist Master Ji was selling in the gourd that day, but now he thought it was impossible.
No wonder when he met the Emperor two days ago, he felt that there was something indescribable about the Emperor.
Now that I think about it, maybe that is the vitality that comes from the body.
Not only does he look energetic, but he also looks much younger.
But he thinks this is very unreliable. It feels like overdrafting his life, which is bright and short.
After a while, the prince suddenly said: "There may not be any elixir, but there may still be residues of the elixir, right?"
Gu Chengyu's eyes lit up, "I'm a little interested, maybe I can find out."
After having frequent contact with the prince these past two days, Gu Chengyu actually felt that the prince was actually a wonderful person.
Regardless of whether the prince was really loyal and honest before, or he regarded this as a protective color.
Anyway, the transformed prince made Gu Chengyu feel that this is what a benevolent king should look like.
The prince's mouth split open. He actually regretted it. He should have had more contact with Gu Chengyu earlier.
Gu Chengyu was not the person he had imagined before, a person who only liked to be in power.
At least Gu Chengyu's conscience is still there and he is very principled in his dealings. It is normal to have ambitions. Who among the officials in the DPRK does not have ambitions?
Even if he is a prince, he is no exception!
"His Royal Highness, Lord Gu! Your Majesty announces that you two have entered the palace!"
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, De'an returned.
Gu Chengyu knew that even De'an would not dare to report rashly, he had to find the right time.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chen!" The prince stepped forward, using the cover of his sleeves to put a thin piece of paper into the other person's hand.
Gu Chengyu was not surprised when he saw this. Even if he was a prince, he still wanted to see the faces of the celebrities around the emperor.
In fact, as long as they reported the flood in Changtian Mansion, the emperor would definitely receive them immediately, but after all, this was Gu Chengyu's one-sided statement.
Besides, what do the lives of ordinary people count in the eyes of superiors?
"My son, I respectfully wish your Majesty to greet you!"
"Your Majesty, Gu Chengyu, respectfully wishes your Majesty's blessing!"
Taoist priest Tianji on the side looked at the two people who were saluting. He was familiar with His Highness and often met him in the palace.
It was just the first time for him to meet this young man in a fifth-grade official uniform, but his name was familiar to him and he knew it well.
"Ping Sheng! We are about to be imprisoned at this time. You two are here. What's the important thing?"
The emperor was discussing with Taoist Priest Tianji, but he didn't want to be interrupted by these two people!
"Father! Mr. Gu just learned the news that the Tianya River has burst its banks!"
The prince didn't talk nonsense. The situation was urgent at this time, and he was afraid that he would have to summon ministers to the palace overnight to discuss specific matters.
The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and then asked in disbelief: "What did you say? The Tianya River burst its banks?"
"Exactly! Several villages in Changtian Mansion on the lower reaches of the Tianya River have been submerged by the river, and hundreds of people have been killed or injured."
Gu Chengyu doesn't know the specific details yet, only the few words on the note.
But he believed that Ding Shiliu and the others could not lie about this matter, as this would cost them their heads.
