Chapter 210 I Can Extend Your Life
"I just hope you, my benefactor, will keep me by your side, even if it's just to wash your feet."
Interrupting the other person, Lin Xuxi said coldly, "Okay, I get it."
Shen Yichen probably shut up after realizing his benefactor was just as cold to him as they had been on their first day together. He guessed it might be because of that sudden appearance.
Lowering his head, he silently endured his grievances.
"Why do you need to compare yourself with others?" If this wasn't useful, Lin Xuxi really wouldn't have paid any attention to him. She sighed, "You are you and he is him. He just likes my horse and begged me to lend it to him for three days. Why are you starting to have these random thoughts again? Sigh."
Lin Xuxi looked helpless.
The tone of her voice also suggests that there is a misunderstanding between husband and wife, and the wife is unable to explain.
"Really?" Shen Yichen widened his eyes and held back his tears.
"nature."
Lin Xuxi regained her gentle demeanor and explained, "I was unhappy just now, but he was a bit too much. I didn't want to talk to him any more. It has nothing to do with you!"
"That's good, that's good!" Shen Yichen felt happy as the clouds cleared and the sun came out.
But he also forgot that he was not qualified to ask these questions.
After nightfall, Lin Xuxi closed the door and entered the palace. The second time she entered, she already knew where the emperor's bedroom was and went straight inside.
This emperor is also diligent in his work. He is still reading memorials so late.
Lin Xuxi stood at the back, watching the emperor handle government affairs. After standing for half an hour, she was getting a little annoyed and finally needed to rest.
"Your Majesty, which lady's palace are you going to tonight?" the eunuch asked cautiously.
"I have to go to the Huguo Temple to worship tomorrow, but forget it." The emperor rubbed his swollen forehead and sighed, "Okay, let's go to bed."
The eunuch nodded and said, "Yes."
Lin Xuxi waited until the emperor fell asleep before slowly approaching the dragon bed. She raised her hand, and a butterfly formed by spiritual power appeared at her fingertips.
The butterfly flew slowly to the emperor's brow. After stopping, it instantly turned into white light and scattered to the emperor's brow. He had fallen asleep.
Lin Xuxi sat down beside the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the dream, the emperor sat upright on the dragon bed, doing nothing, he just sat there. He was conscious and knew he was dreaming, but he didn't know why he dreamed.
"Where is the thing?"
A woman's voice was heard in the air. The emperor stood up, looked up at the sky, and said majestically, "Who are you? How dare you appear in my bedroom!"
Judging from the voice and the aura, it really is what a true dragon emperor should be like.
"I'm here to take what belongs to me. What about those things that record the immortal princess of the previous dynasty?" Lin Xuxi tried to test it first.
"what?"
In the dream, the emperor was also very alert.
"If you can give it to me, I will extend your life by ten years." Lin Xuxi hid on the beam and talked to the people below: "Give me the thing."
"Extend your life by ten years?"
The emperor pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Who are you? You said you wanted to take your things. Since those things are yours, are you the princess of that area who cultivates immortality?"
"Yes." Lin Xuxi agreed directly.
Hearing this, the emperor twitched his lips, then quickly suppressed them. He was now in no hurry, and sat back down, asking, "Why should I trust you?"
"You must believe me." Lin Xuxi sneered and asked, "Since you know who I am, you should know what kind of person I am. You should also know that even if you don't agree, I can still find what I want, enter your dreams, and obtain your memories. It's just that you will be in great pain and your life will be shortened."
Hearing this, the emperor fell silent.
He just remained silent, thinking all sorts of things in his mind.
"You are wondering whether that thing is useful to you. Can you also cultivate to become an immortal and live for thousands or even millions of years? Can you enjoy supreme power forever?" Lin Xuxi interrupted the other party's thoughts.
She laughed and said, "Cultivating immortality is too hard. How can a mortal emperor like you endure it? Besides, the first thing to do when cultivating immortality is to cut off all emotions. Once you truly cultivate immortality, you won't be attached to imperial power anymore."
The emperor asked, "So, you left like that?"
He firmly believed that the person talking to him was the princess who went to practice Taoism.
"Actually, at first I thought I was just going there to practice martial arts, or perhaps find a master, so I could return to see my father, the emperor, and my mother. Once I achieved enlightenment, I could let them enjoy eternal life. But after I began practicing, everything in the human world became blurry to me. I also know that reincarnation, the waxing and waning of the moon, is all predetermined. I can save the lives of one or two people, but the change of dynasties is not something I can decide."
"How many people did the previous emperor kill for his cultivation? Before he died, he begged for you to appear."
Lin Xuxi said coldly, "He has done too much evil. Not everyone can help him."
"How ridiculous!" The emperor suddenly sneered and nodded, "I agree to extend your life by ten years, but you must come in person tomorrow to pick it up. I want to see you."
"I don't want to see you."
"I should at least see what a real immortal looks like," the emperor said with a smile. He had always aspired to be a wise ruler, but since everyone fears death, he also wanted to achieve immortality.
However, he was still curious about the fairy world and wanted to know.
"Okay." Lin Xuxi nodded in agreement, then left the dream.
When the emperor suddenly sat up and looked at everything familiar around him, he began to doubt whether the dream was real or just his imagination.
When he breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to continue resting, he suddenly heard a voice in his ears.
"tomorrow!"
After hearing this, the emperor finally believed it wasn't a dream. But now, looking back, wasn't it a bit of a loss to only extend his life by ten years? Fortunately, he had made an appointment to meet the fairy tomorrow; perhaps they could negotiate the price later.
The next day he did have to go to the Huguo Temple to burn incense, and he would leave only after he had attended court and dealt with important government affairs. Anyway, it only took an hour to get from the palace to the Huguo Temple, so it was no problem.
There were many people in the previous dynasty who wanted to restore the country. If the abbot of the Huguo Temple and the national teacher had not told him that burning incense today was an auspicious day and would bless him with good weather and good harvests in the next year, he would not have wanted to leave the palace.
After all, it is safe in the palace; unexpected things will always happen when you go out.
But a year of good weather and good harvests would be too much for the people. If he could pray for a good harvest for the people this time, that would be good too.
"Your Majesty," the chief eunuch announced from outside the carriage, "General Zhao has made all the necessary arrangements. We will be protected along the way. Your Majesty, rest assured."
"We should not let our guard down." The Xin Dynasty had only been established for a decade, and the emperor rarely left the country for fear of mishaps. He said coldly, "Tell General Zhao to be on guard."
"Yes." The eunuch retreated immediately.
After leaving the palace, I went to Huguo Temple, but nothing happened. Huguo Temple was built at the beginning of the Xin Dynasty and has been prosperous since its completion.
