Chapter 41 Prince, old rules

King Jubei was lying on the couch, seeing the old eunuch struggling, he hurriedly got up and knelt down.

"Qingyu, cough...quick, give father a hand."

"okay."

Jiang Qingyu responded and put her hands on King Jubei's back and shoulders.

however……

When helping and rejecting Bei Wang to get up, he felt a burst of obvious resistance coming from the other party's body.

No matter how hard he tried, that withered body remained motionless.

So he understood:
King Rejecting Bei didn't even want to get up, let alone kneel down.

The old eunuch had seen a lot of people, and he knew how to read people's words and expressions, so he could see through the hypocrisy of the King of the North at a glance.

He has always understood Jiang Qiushui's personality.

This bandit-born prince with a different surname has never been in awe of imperial power. Before he was crowned king, he dared to draw his sword and cut off the arm of a fourth-rank official in front of the Golden Palace. He even dared to mobilize [-] troops to attack Qingzhou City, and used [-] arrows to snatch the priceless jade seal of the former dynasty from the hands of His Majesty's younger brother Qingjiang Wang Jingxuan!

But it is such a "rebellious minister and traitor", but His Majesty is reluctant to let him die...

So far, it is enough for an extremely human minister.

The old eunuch didn't worry about the integrity of etiquette, but said generously:
"It's fine for the prince to lie down. You and the old slave are old friends, so you don't have to pay attention to etiquette."

"This old slave did not read the imperial decree word by word. The general idea is that when His Majesty learned that the prince was seriously ill, he specially ordered this old slave to send a few words of condolence and a life-extending nine-turn golden pill."

The old eunuch rolled up the imperial decree, but he didn't step forward and pass it in front of King Jubei, but directly threw it to Jiang Qingyu who was aside:
"This one is the fourth son of the prince, right?"

"It really is a dragon and a phoenix among people."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu received the imperial decree and at the same time clasped her fists in salute.

He was not surprised that the old eunuch knew him. After all, he was one of the best idiots in the entire Chu Kingdom, and his reputation was so great that even the capital thousands of miles away had his portrait circulated.

As for the identity of this old eunuch...

He also recognized it.

For more than ten years, every time the golden elixir was opened, the emperor of Chu State Jing Hong would order someone to send one to Bingzhou to heal the wounded King of the North and extend his life.

Every time it was this handsome old eunuch who came to deliver the medicine.

The second among the top ten eunuchs of Chu State, Yan Songyu.

A master at the peak of the innate third-grade Luminous Sun Realm is even more unfathomable than Xu Xiaosi who died in the barren forest.

Some people even speculated that he had already touched the threshold of the innate fourth-grade star picking realm, which is why he was ranked second only to the old eunuch in the star picking realm among the top ten eunuchs.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the medicine."

After hearing the words "Jiuzhuan Jindan", King Jubei's eyes shone brightly, and his skinny and yellowed face couldn't help but add a tinge of blood:
"Old minister, ahem... thank you for the decree!"

With Jiang Qingyu's support, the terminally ill old man sat up with difficulty, crossed his hands and made a fist, using his hands instead of his head, and knocked off the edge of the bed three times.

"Boom, boom, boom."

King Jubei's body was dull and stiff, even with Jiang Qingyu's help, it took him a quarter of an hour to complete this series of ritual movements.

Yan Songyu was very patient, with a smile on his face all the time, and he took out a jade bottle from his cuff calmly after the three crisp sounds were over.

"My lord, the old rules."

He reminded him, then stepped forward solemnly, and handed the jade bottle into the palm of King Jubei.

"I see!"

King Jubei didn't take his eyes off the jade bottle from the very beginning, holding it tightly with both hands, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

After a while, he took off the cork, first put the jade bottle under his nose, and took a few breaths with enjoyment.

"Humph--"

Immediately, a touch of rosiness appeared on the withered face of the king of rejecting the North, as if the light had returned.

Then, trembling again, he carefully poured the elixir from the jade bottle into his palm with trembling hands, his every movement was surprisingly slow, but he stubbornly refused to call for help.

It was as if he was afraid that the elixir he got would fly away.

When the old eunuch Yan Songyu saw this scene, while he sneered in his heart, he was also filled with emotion:
Only at this time, this king of a different surname who claimed to have cut off enough liver and gallbladder for a table to drink, would show a trace of fear in front of people.

How sad and pathetic!

"This Dan..."

Jiang Qingyu lowered her head and glanced secretly.

The elixir that Yan Songyu brought looked ordinary, no different from the one he got from Xu Xiaosi.

But he had long suspected that there was something wrong with the elixir that the old eunuch sent every year. Otherwise, why would he have to take it face to face with the King of the North? more serious?

"Ugh……"

Jiang Qingyu sighed inwardly.

He wanted to secretly drop the elixir, but first, Yan Songyu, who was at the peak of the Luminous Sun Realm, was watching too closely, and couldn't find a chance at all. Second, if the elixir brought by Yan Songyu was really problematic , and after taking the pill from Xu Xiaosi, the king of the North refused to take the pill, and his condition improved visibly...

Then with Yan Songyu's eyesight, he will definitely notice the clue.

At that time, not only will it be dangerous to reject the Northern King, but the matter of killing Xu Xiaosi himself may also be revealed!

Therefore, Jiang Qingyu should not care about anything at this time.

Anyway, no matter how problematic the elixir is, it will certainly be able to continue the life of King Rejecting the North. Now Emperor Jing Hong doesn't want to cause chaos in the northern territory for the time being, otherwise he won't let Yan Songyu come all the way with the medicine.

"Cough cough!"

King Jubei coughed a few times, and while coughing, he clenched the golden pill with his right hand, and then brought his trembling right hand to his mouth little by little.

"Cough cough..."

He opened his mouth, and in a gesture of wanting to stuff his entire right hand into his mouth, he sent the elixir into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, King Jubei felt hot all over his body, as if he had a high fever for several days and nights, he was sweating continuously, and his spirit was listless.

Only those eyes were still shining brightly, and they became brighter and brighter, as bright as the stars in the night sky.

Jiang Qingyu was the first to see someone taking the Nine-Turn Golden Pill. In the past, when Yan Songyu came to deliver the medicine, he was afraid of being noticed by this old eunuch who suspected he had touched the Innate Fourth Grade Luminous Sun Realm, so he never used Yin Come and see the shape of your body.

When I saw it today, it was a bit misleading.

How can there be any "living dead, flesh and bones"?
They are all deceitful.

The "click" sound of King Jubei's bone translocation could be clearly heard in the room.

His blood was also surging like a tide, and after repeated cycles, his skin glowed a little, and it no longer seemed like a pool of stagnant water.

After a long time...

Jiang Qingyu saw that a layer of old skin had fallen off King Jubei's arms and face.

The new skin still looks slightly sick, but it is not so lifeless.

This means that the order of the King of the North has been successfully continued!
"what--"

"It's great to be alive."

King Jubei stretched his waist lazily, glanced coldly at the old eunuch Yan Songyu with his eyes, and then changed into a face full of kindness:

"Eunuch Yan must be exhausted from all the hard work, why don't you just stay at the mansion first?"

"It's better to let this king show some kindness as a landlord."

At the same time, he squeezed lightly with his right hand——

The jade bottle in his palm that was used to hold the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir turned into powder.
