Chapter 23 The Way of Longevity
In order to continue to ruin the plot, Yao Guangyue could only try to cry every night, until her throat was split.

No one can coax her, not even the emperor playing with her day and night.

As a result of crying like this, Yao Guangyue's throat became inflamed and caused a fever.

After learning that Yao Guangyue had a fever, the emperor became even more anxious and forced Imperial Physician Wen to lead a group of imperial physicians to wait day and night.

The imperial concubine guarded her daughter day and night. From Yao Guangyue's inner voice, we could know that she cried because of the Taoist priest.

In order to let Yao Guangyue rest for a while, he had to ask the emperor in front of her.

"Your Majesty, the little princess is crying so much. Could it be related to the new Taoist priest who entered the palace?"

The emperor didn't know that the imperial concubine could also hear Yao Guangyue's thoughts, but he just thought that the imperial concubine happened to ask this, so he might as well tell the reason why he left the Taoist priest behind.

While the emperor was thinking, the imperial concubine was already crying.

"Your Majesty, since the Taoist priest entered the palace, the little princess has been crying day and night. This has to make people doubt that I only have one daughter. Please forgive me for being a mother."

As the imperial concubine was speaking, Yao Guangyue's heartbeat rang out.

[My good mother can speak, so just speak more. If you keep crying, my voice will be broken. Get that Taoist priest out quickly. He will ruin the reputation of cheap daddy and poison him. ah! 】

Hearing that Yao Guangyue felt so sorry for him, the emperor couldn't help but smile.

Then he picked up his daughter and explained amiably: "Your concubine is too worried. That Taoist priest has no ability at all. I only kept him to see if he could learn some tricks and to pave the way for my princess in the future!"

As soon as this explanation was uttered, Yao Guangyue stopped crying instantly, and the imperial concubine was also a little confused.

She had been thinking before that it was possible that the emperor saw the reincarnation of a real mythical beast and became obsessed with immortality.

But now he seemed to be saying this for the sake of his daughter, so he asked again: "What does your Majesty mean by this?"

The emperor was clearly explaining to the imperial concubine, but secretly he wanted Yao Guangyue to know his thoughts.

So he explained everything in detail: "Some time ago, the eldest prince mentioned to me that he wanted to build a temple for the little princess to pray for the blessing of the gods, to be admired by all people, and to protect her safety and happiness."

Although the emperor had this idea, Yao Guangyue was very happy, but she didn't quite understand.

[You want to build a temple for me. It is a good thing to be admired by all people, but why do you keep Taoist priests?What a bad guy!Doesn’t that mean he should be the host of my temple? 】

The imperial concubine also didn't quite understand, so she asked again based on the little princess's thoughts: "But what does building a temple have to do with that Taoist?"

The emperor showed a meaningful smile, "Of course it does matter. If the little princess has no help to the people, how can the people offer incense to her? So I left this Taoist priest and let him use his little tricks to deceive people. ."

"When everyone believes that he does have supernatural power, he can use his mouth to tell me that my daughter is the reincarnation of a mythical beast. This way, I can be worshiped by the people."

Yao Guangyue understood now. After making trouble for a long time, her emperor father had this idea in mind.

[This is indeed a very useful method. It just destroys the plot value, but it does not completely turn you into a heroine. It also requires a certain amount of faith. You are truly worthy of being an emperor. You are so smart! 】

When the emperor heard his daughter praising him for being smart, he was so proud that he couldn't hold back the smile from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.At this time, Yao Guangyue was really tired from tossing for too long, so she yawned, muttered a few words and fell asleep.

[You should have told me such a good idea earlier, but it took me a few days, made me sick, and made me sleepy! 】

Hearing that her daughter's troubles were all because of the emperor's cleverness, the imperial concubine couldn't help but roll her eyes at the emperor.

The emperor twitched his lips in embarrassment and waited until Yao Guangyue fell asleep before returning her to the imperial concubine and giving her a few words to take good care of her.

When the imperial concubine bent down to salute, her eyes almost rolled to the sky. After the emperor left, she couldn't help but curse a few words.

"If I don't take good care of my daughter, who can take good care of me? Could it be your queen? I'm really making a fool of myself!"

It's no wonder that the imperial concubine is angry. During this period, she has been carefully wary of the people in her palace. After careful inspection, she actually dug out many of the queen's people.

It’s hard to imagine how serious the consequences would be if these people stayed around.

Xiyan saw that the concubine was unhappy, so she came up to serve her with her favorite pastries.

"Your Majesty, please use some pastries. In order to take care of the little princess these days, you haven't had a good meal for a long time. I'll go and pass the meal to you later. Can you take a good rest after the meal?"

The imperial concubine waved her hands feebly, feeling quite a headache. She sat on the stool next to her, propped her head on her hands and asked, "Have you investigated the situation at Concubine Shu's house?"

Xiyan lowered his head and replied: "We have already investigated clearly. Shu Bi's younger brother was born with a weak disease in the womb. In order to treat the disease, her father occasionally had unclean hands and feet."

The imperial concubine took a deep breath and explained: "Send a message to my brother, secretly help with this, so that Shu Lan's father will be caught as little as possible. As for his younger brother, find a famous doctor to take care of him first!"

"Yes!"

When the Taoist priest entered the palace, he caused an uproar. Many people in the court were participating in the music.

Among them, the concubine's father, General Mu, had the most intense words.

But it's no wonder. In the first half of his life, General Mu made great achievements on the battlefield, and in the second half of his life, he taught the prince. He had countless disciples, and half of the military attachés in the court were his disciples.

The crutch in Old General Mu's hand once made two princes cry, and His Majesty is one of them.

I saw the old general banging his cane, fighting in the court hall, and then began to join in the music: "Your Majesty, I recently heard that your Majesty was seeking a way to immortality, and summoned a Taoist priest to the palace. This move is harmful to the country and the people. , Your Majesty, please think twice!”

The old general's words were still sonorous and powerful, and the blue veins on the emperor's forehead jumped when he heard the thump of the crutch.

You must know that this old man hit himself on the head with a cane when he was a child, but the bag could not be eliminated for three days.

However, the late emperor believed that the old general was right to do this. He always felt that only a strict master can produce a good disciple, which led to the emperor's hair never breaking when he was a child.

At this time, the emperor calmed down and said with a serious and majestic face: "Old general, please rest assured, I am not obsessed with the way of immortality. It is just a temporary interest to find this Taoist priest to enter the palace!"
