Agent Abandoned Concubine: Tyrant, beg for favor

Chapter 499 Picking Immortal Grass

The masters discussed the matter after that, and then continued to deceive the queen mother. The queen mother was really easy to deceive. I didn't know how shrewd a person was, but he was deceived by these masters. He didn't even think about anything. Satisfaction is something that makes oneself immortal. The courtiers seem to have noticed something, but some people can hide these things. They just said that the Queen Mother has recently been obsessed with cultivating immortals and asking, and she doesn't like to manage state affairs very much. Courtiers He wanted to say something, but in the end it didn't reach the Queen Mother's ears. These messages were intercepted by those purposeful courtiers, and the Queen Mother heard a lot of praise.

The Empress Dowager is obsessed with alchemy and longevity at this time, and she doesn't care about government affairs at all. She doesn't even read those memorials like in the past. The memorials sent by the ministers piled up into a mountain. But it seemed as if he didn't hear it at all, he just thought about the matter of immortality, and didn't bother to read these memorials at all.

The chief eunuch had no choice but to find a way to deal with some seemingly unimportant memorials, and the rest of the memorials, but the remaining memorials are still piling up more and more, but the queen mother still hasn't read any of them, and because of alchemy The queen mother may not have been in court for a long time, and the courtiers wanted to ask what happened to the queen mother, but they only got a response that the queen mother did not see the ministers, and they did not see the queen mother.

There was chaos in the court, but the queen mother was still addicted to the dream of immortality in alchemy and medicine. In order to obtain the legendary medicine, the master asked the queen mother to send someone to find it. The Salbiti Mountain, which is more than 7000 meters above sea level, is steep in altitude and grows on it. One is called whispering grass, but as soon as the hand touches it, it will wither and shrink to the ground, and it is extremely poisonous. Only one kind of person can pick it, and that is a clean woman.Women who have not been married, but once the women are picked, they will not be able to bear children, but the queen mother is said to be crazy by the master. In addition to asking them to pick them at a high price, once they cannot supply the elixir made by the master for a day, they will kill one of them.

This matter quickly spread among the people. Even Yunxi knew about it. Recently, Su Chenxing's health has improved a lot. The queen mother is addicted to longevity, but she relaxes the persecution of Su Chenxing. Living in Ansheng's mansion with peace of mind, his body is gradually recovering slowly. Ansheng and Su Chenxing face each other day and night, but their relationship is getting deeper and deeper.

Today, after Yunxi heard about this incident, she came to Su Chenxing to talk about it. Su Chenxing was also dumbfounded when she heard this. She never thought that the Queen Mother would do such a thing.

"I seem to have heard of this kind of medicinal material, but the things in the myths and legends are not credible after all. Why does the queen mother spend so much experience doing such a thing? What is the virgin thing? This is even more nonsense , I used to think that the queen mother is a person with a lot of wisdom and close to a monster, why has she become like this now, but she is not like the past at all." Su Chenxing looked at Yun Xi in surprise, almost doubting what Yun Xi said is not true.

"I don't know why." Yun Xi also couldn't figure it out, "But I do know that anyone who has reached the position of Queen Mother and is at this age will very much desire to live forever, because they are very afraid of themselves. You can’t enjoy all this after you die, so the queen mother is the same, so many emperors and emperors in ancient times also took this road, and there are also people who ate themselves to death by taking pills, so don’t be too surprised.”

Yun Xi could give her an explanation, but the empress dowager was such a waste of money, she didn't know how many people had been killed, and she didn't know how many people were smashed to pieces, or even left with no bones left because of that medicine.

"I heard from An Sheng that the Empress Dowager doesn't seem to care much about the court affairs." Su Chenxing thought of some things that An Sheng often said recently, and he understood a lot.

"This may be a good thing. The Empress Dowager is so fatuous and determined to live forever that she won't care about your affairs anymore. You are safe now." Yunxi said, "It's just a pity that these people have to suffer so much things."

Su Chenxing nodded in agreement, and said, "The queen mother will not last long in doing this. There will always be courtiers who can't understand the queen mother's actions."

Yun Xi smiled noncommittally, and said, "Maybe, but I don't know if these courtiers have any tricks in their hearts."

Since the Empress Dowager doesn't care about the affairs of the court, these courtiers can decide these things themselves. Whoever will be lured by such interests, what will the courtiers do.But Yun Xi really expected what would happen afterwards.

And in the palace, the masters not only want these medicinal materials, but also almost endlessly ask for all kinds of things, not only rare jewelry and medicinal materials, but also various authentic works of famous paintings, all of which are treasured by the late emperor, but the queen mother seems She didn't care about these at all, and sent everything the masters wanted, and the queen mother finally got the pill she dreamed of.

When these masters were refining the pills, they added some ingredients similar to Wushi powder to it. The queen mother felt that her spirit was much better than before, and she looked younger, not as old as before. She trusted these masters even more, and she seemed to have entered a state of madness, unable to listen to any words said by others.

Even if a courtier died in the middle of the court, the queen mother did not make a sound, and even asked people to pretend that the minister's wife and daughter were all military prostitutes.

After Yunxi heard about this incident, she secretly protected the minister's wife and daughter, and sent them back to their original place, but she sighed in her heart, how many unconscionable things this fatuous empress dowager obsessed with immortality has done? matter.

Not only that, the gold and silver treasures that the masters living in the palace need every day are also huge, the national treasury was quickly emptied, and countless gold and silver treasures flowed into the hands of these masters, but the queen mother still didn't care about it , in addition to giving the masters many rewards, they also found many beautiful women to serve them, which made the masters happier, so they made more trouble in the palace, and tortured many good maids to death. But no one dared to tell the Queen Mother about these things, because the Queen Mother had almost revered these masters.

For a time, whether it was in the palace or in the court, there was a scene of chaos.
