The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

"Alas, although Mr. Cui went through untold hardships and finally developed the magical elixir of life."

Sun He frowned, looking at Yi Xiaochuan with worry, and said in a heavy tone: "But that insidious and cunning thief Zhao Gao had deployed heavy troops early and guarded the medicine refining place like an iron barrel. Our brothers from Juxian Hall have been rushing to Xianyang day and night, hoping to help Mr. Cui and successfully take out the elixir of immortality. But Zhao Gaoxian's defense is too tight. The brothers have tried every possible way, but still can't do anything."

Sun He paused, looked at Yi Xiaochuan expectantly, and then said: "Mr. Cui specifically asked me to tell the leader that he wants you to go back and take charge of the situation."

After that, Sun He solemnly took out a note from his underwear, handed it to Yi Xiaochuan with both hands, and said, "Alliance leader, this is a pigeon letter from Mr. Cui to you!"

"Ok?"

Yi Xiaochuan was slightly startled, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he reached out to take the letter. He gently opened the folded silk cloth, his eyes fell on the handwriting on it, and read it word by word: "The elixir of immortality is made of the essence of black wind, the tiny powder of heavenly stars, and rare medicines. This medicine has a miraculous effect, and it has the magical effect of regenerating severed limbs..."

After reading this, Yi Xiaochuan's hands holding the silk cloth began to tremble slightly involuntarily, his breathing became rapid, and an irrepressible excitement surged in his heart.

Rebirth of a severed limb?

If it's true, that would be great... Yi Xiaochuan's eyes revealed a hint of ecstasy, and the scene of himself being tortured by Zhao Gao involuntarily emerged in his mind. If it really works, then the part of him that was castrated by Zhao Gao should be able to grow back, right? Once this idea appeared, it grew wildly in his heart like a weed.

"We must get this elixir of life, no matter what the cost!"

Yi Xiaochuan tightly grasped the silk cloth in his hand, as if he had seen his body restored to its original state and regained his dignity and hope.

Taking a deep breath, Yi Xiaochuan tried to calm himself down, turned to look at Sun He, and said, "Sun He, go back and tell Mr. Cui immediately that I will rush back to take charge of the situation as soon as possible. No matter what, we can't let that thief Zhao Gaoxian succeed, we must get the elixir of immortality!"

"Yes!" Sun He clasped his fists and accepted the order.

While the two were talking, Yi Xiaochuan didn't notice at all that in the haystack in the corner not far away, an eye was secretly spying on their every move through the gap in the haystack.

………………

The majestic and magnificent Zhangtai Palace exudes a solemn and dignified atmosphere under the sunlight.

The bedroom was filled with a faint herbal scent. The sunlight shone through the thin veil and fell on the ground, forming patches of light and shadow.

"Cough cough cough~~"

A violent cough broke the silence. On the bed, Qin Shi Huang's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. His eyes were sunken, revealing fatigue and weakness. His originally majestic face now looked haggard, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead and a few strands of hair sticking to his cheeks in a messy manner.

Hu Hai held a bowl of steaming medicine in both hands and walked slowly to the bed. He carefully scooped up a spoonful of medicine with a spoon, blew it gently at the edge of his mouth, and then carefully brought it to Qin Shihuang's mouth and whispered, "Father, drink the medicine."

Qin Shi Huang slightly opened his cracked lips and drank the medicine with difficulty. Every time he drank a mouthful, he couldn't help coughing a few times, and Hu Hai would gently pat his back to help him breathe. After finishing a bowl of medicine, Hu Hai put down the bowl, picked up a handkerchief, and gently wiped the medicine stains from the corners of Qin Shi Huang's mouth.

"Ok!"

Qin Shi Huang nodded gently, slowly turned his eyes, and glanced at Hu Hai, his eyes revealing a trace of relief and kindness. Then, as if all his strength had been drained, he lay down again powerlessly, his eyes slowly closed, his brows still furrowed, as if he was still enduring the torture of illness.

"Tap tap~"

A steady and rhythmic sound of footsteps rang out in the empty palace corridor. Yi Huawei stood tall and straight with his face as respectful and solemn as ever. Yu Shu, who was beside him, was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, the hem of her skirt swaying gently with her steps, but her eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and uneasiness, and her hands were unconsciously clasped tightly in front of her.

The two walked through the long corridor and finally arrived at Qin Shihuang's bedroom.

Yi Huawei nodded slightly, and led Yu Shu slowly to the bed. He knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have brought Concubine Li here!"

Yu Shu also bowed gracefully and dignifiedly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The bedroom was filled with a faint herbal scent mixed with the old wood fragrance, which made people feel a depressing atmosphere. Qin Shihuang was lying on the wide bed, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was weak, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Hearing Yi Huawei's familiar voice ringing in the bedroom, Qin Shi Huang's eyes, which were originally tightly closed, moved slightly, and then he raised his hands with great effort. Hu Hai saw this and immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly stretched out his hands and gently helped Qin Shi Huang up. Hu Hai's movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid that he would hurt his weak father if he exerted a little force.

"You step back first!" Qin Shihuang's voice was very weak, his face was as pale as paper, but his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, Father!"

Hu Hai bowed quickly, his voice full of awe and obedience. Then, he slowly took a few steps back, taking each step with extreme caution. When he turned around, he subconsciously glanced at Yi Huawei, and then slowly walked out of the bedroom.

The sound of Hu Hai's footsteps gradually faded away in the empty palace corridor, and silence returned to the bedroom.

Qin Shi Huang leaned against the bed, his chest rising and falling violently, every breath seemed to use up all his strength, panting slightly, the breath was heavy and rapid, as if an old bellows was pulling with difficulty. His eyes slowly fell on Yu Shu, and his eyes instantly revealed a complex look, with attachment, reluctance, and a hint of indescribable possessiveness.

"Concubine Li...you, come here!"

Qin Shihuang's voice was low and hoarse, with an irresistible majesty.

"Your Majesty...ah~?"

Yu Shu responded softly, and walked slowly to the bed with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in her eyes. However, before she could react, Qin Shihuang grabbed her arm and pulled her hard, and she fell on the bed involuntarily. Yu Shu couldn't help but screamed, her eyes full of fear and panic. She looked at Qin Shihuang's sharp eyes, as if he could see through her. Her heart jumped suddenly, and she subconsciously looked at Yi Huawei.

"... Concubine Li, if I die, will you be willing to accompany me?" Qin Shihuang's voice echoed in the silent bedroom, as if it was a torture from hell.

After saying that, without waiting for Yu Shu to respond, Qin Shi Huang continued: "If I die, I must be with the thing I love most. I want you, I want you to accompany me forever! I want you, I want you to accompany me forever!"

Qin Shi Huang's voice became louder and louder, and in the end it was almost a roar. His strong possessiveness was chilling.

Yu Shu lowered her head, her body trembling slightly. She clenched her hands tightly together, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain. She didn't dare to look into Qin Shi Huang's eyes, as if she would be swallowed by the endless darkness if she looked at him. "What are you doing? Why don't you answer me?" Qin Shi Huang's voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

Yu Shu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and whispered, "I'm waiting, waiting for Master Fusu to come back! Your Majesty, please rest assured that Master Fusu will definitely bring back the elixir of immortality!"

After hearing Yu Shu's words, Qin Shi Huang's tense expression relaxed a little, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a relieved smile: "Li Fei, you are so loyal to me! I am also waiting for him to come back! When he comes back, he will bring me the elixir of immortality!"

Qin Shi Huang said this, slowly turning his head and looking out the window. His eyes became blurry and distant, as if through that window he had seen the glorious scene of himself becoming immortal and continuing to rule for thousands of generations.

A wave of sleepiness came over him like a tide, and Qin Shihuang felt his eyelids getting heavier. He waved his hand gently, with a hint of fatigue in his voice: "You can leave!"

"promise!"

Yi Huawei stepped forward and helped Yu Shu up. Yu Shu's face was a little pale, and there was still a trace of fear and anxiety in her eyes. She lowered her head slightly and bowed to Qin Shi Huang with Yi Huawei. Then, the two slowly left the bedroom.

Yi Huawei's steps were steady, and his arms tightly supported Yu Shu. The hem of Yu Shu's skirt swayed gently with her steps, making a slight rustling sound.

When he reached the door of the bedroom, Yi Huawei couldn't help but look back at Qin Shi Huang. He saw that Qin Shi Huang had closed his eyes, leaning against the head of the bed, breathing evenly and weakly. There was still a trace of a gratified smile on his face, as if he was still looking forward to the moment of immortality in his sleep. Yi Huawei sighed softly, took Yu Shu out of the bedroom, and gently closed the door.

...............

In the garden, the sunlight shines through the mottled leaves, casting patches of golden light.

The colorful flowers compete with each other in splendor, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, decorating the whole garden like a poem and a picture. The breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of intoxicating flower fragrance, attracting butterflies to dance among the flowers.

"My lady, were you frightened just now?"

Yi Huawei looked at Yu Shu with a smile on his face.

Yu Shu raised her head slightly, glanced at Yi Huawei, bit her lips lightly, then lowered her head again, still silent. Her long hair fell in front of her, fluttering gently in the breeze, making her look even more charming.

"Haha~"

Yi Huawei chuckled softly: "As long as I am here, the queen will be fine!"

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Yu Shu and he took a slight step forward.

Feeling Yi Huawei approaching, Yu Shu's delicate body trembled slightly involuntarily, and she subconsciously took a step back, with an inexplicable emotion in her heart. She gently raised her hand, and her fingers, as white and flawless as mutton-fat jade, seemed transparent under the sunlight. She gently pinned a strand of hair that fell on her cheek behind her ear, revealing her slender and white neck like a swan.

Yu Shu remained silent, but a barely perceptible gleam of tears flashed across her lowered eyes, and her heart was like a bottle of overturned flavors, with all kinds of feelings intertwined together.

Yu Shu couldn't help but think of Yi Huawei's various behaviors. To say he was bad, it was true that he had forcefully kissed her several times, and that overbearing and passionate behavior made her feel ashamed and annoyed. However, apart from that, he didn't seem to have done anything more frivolous.

However, he was the one who arrested her mother and imprisoned her, which made her full of resentment and anger towards him. And Yi Xiaochuan, whom she had been thinking about, was also missing at the moment. She didn't know what had happened to him, and whether he was still alive. Whenever she thought of this, her heart was as painful as being stabbed by thousands of needles. She didn't know how to face Yi Huawei, nor how to go on in the future, and could only endure it all silently.

Seeing Yu Shu's complicated reaction, Yi Huawei's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a slightly teasing smile, and said softly: "Don't panic, Madam. Look at the people coming and going in public. Are you afraid that I will molest you?"

After saying that, Yi Huawei spread out his hands and looked innocent.

After hearing what he said, Yu Shu felt even more ashamed and angry. She glared at Yi Huawei fiercely, wishing she could burn the man in front of her to ashes.

"Humph!"

Then, Yu Shu snorted coldly and swung her sleeves violently. The wide sleeves drew a graceful arc in the air, bringing up a breeze. She turned and walked away, with quick and firm steps, as if she wanted to escape from this place that made her feel embarrassed and angry as soon as possible.

...............

There was no miracle from heaven, no brilliant rays of light filling the sky; the elixir of life was created in such an ordinary way.

Yi Huawei frowned slightly, with surprise in his eyes, staring at Ah Da who was kneeling on one knee, and asked hesitantly:
"you sure?"

Ah Da bowed respectfully, his forehead pressed against the ground, and replied, "Your Excellency, it is absolutely true. I have been sending people to monitor Cui Wenzi day and night, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. This news was heard and seen by our people. Cui Wenzi has been busy in his alchemy room for many days. Although there is no surprising movement in the alchemy, I think that although this matter seems strange, the news should be true. After all, our people dare not say a single word of falsehood."

Yi Huawei smiled coldly, with a hint of chill in his smile: "Haha~, since the elixir has been successfully refined, but Cui Wenzi actually concealed it and did not report it, he deserves death!"

Ah Da showed hesitation, lowered his head slightly, seemed to be choosing his words, gritted his teeth and said: "Report to the Lord, there is one more thing. Since the elixir of immortality was made, I have specially sent more people to guard it to prevent the news from leaking out. It can be said that I have been checking every level and dare not be negligent. However, even so, there is still a mistake. There is one cook missing in the kitchen. The kitchen is a place where people come and go, and the affairs are complicated. It did not attract attention at first. But when I carefully checked the number of people, I was shocked to find that such a person was missing. This person disappeared at this critical moment, which is too strange. I am worried that there is some hidden conspiracy."

After saying that, Ah Da knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"Get up!"

Yi Huawei glanced at Ah Da and nodded, saying, "Although there was a mistake, since you told the truth, I will not punish you this time. Get ready and follow me out of the palace!"

"Yes! Thank you, sir!"

Ah Da wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up and said, "I'll arrange it right away!"

"Go!"

Yi Huawei waved his hand and turned to walk into the inner room.
