Chapter 527 The Old Man of Anhe Palace
Anhe Palace is the most remote palace in the palace, even more remote than the Cold Palace. No one usually comes here. People in the palace only know that there is an old man living in Anhe Palace. But who is this old man?
Not many people can tell it.
Ye Canglan was one of the few people in the palace who knew about this old man. Speaking of which, this old man even saved his life. When he was eight years old, Ye Canglan, the little prince, was pushed into the lake.
No one saved him, and he thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he was in Anhe Palace, and it was an old man with white eyebrows who saved him.
After that, he often came to Anhe Palace to find the old man, but the old man turned him away and told him that there was no need to thank him and not to disturb him.
Ye Canglan learned from his mother that the origin of this old man was very mysterious. He had lived in the palace for decades, rarely left Anhe Palace, and never interacted with others. He was a weirdo.
Eighteen years later, when he saw the old man again, he found that the old man looked exactly the same as he did eighteen years ago, as if the eighteen years had not left any trace on him.
Ye Canglan finally understood why the late emperor was willing to let such an unknown person live in the palace. Perhaps he was interested in the secrets of the old man.
The old man didn't look at Ye Canglan from beginning to end. His eyes always fell on Gu Zhian. There seemed to be a light in his eyes. He murmured something to himself that he didn't know what he was saying. Even though his hearing was as strong as Gu Zhian's, he couldn't hear it clearly.
What he was talking about didn't seem to be in a language she could understand.
"Old man, do you really have the spiritual herb I want?" Gu Zhian was a little doubtful. Although the old man looked like an immortal, this residence, although it was a palace, was too shabby and it was unlikely that he could
It looks like it has expensive spiritual herbs.
The old man finally looked at Ye Canglan, "You go out first, I have something to say to this little friend alone."
Ye Canglan looked at Gu Zhian, saw her nodding, turned and left without saying anything.
The huge Anhe Palace was so simple that it could be described as a house with bare walls. There was not even a chair for her to sit and talk.
The old man took out two futons and threw them on the ground. He sat down cross-legged and called to Gu Zhian, "Little friend, please sit down."
Gu Zhian followed Shan Ruliu and sat down, imitating the old man's sitting posture and crossing his legs.
The old man smoothed his white beard and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. What was written on it was the several elixirs she needed.
"Is this what my little friend wants?" the old man asked.
Gu Zhian nodded, "Exactly, Your Majesty said you have these kinds of elixirs here?" Gu Zhian looked at the old man expectantly.
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't have it in my hand."
His expectations were in vain. The fire of hope in Gu Zhian's eyes was extinguished instantly, and he could hardly hold on to the smile on his face.
The old man added slowly: "But I know where it is."
Gu Zhian's spirit was lifted again, "Please let me know, please."
The old man stroked his white beard again and said, "I can tell you, but you have to tell me first where you learned about these elixirs."
She promised that she would never tell anyone about the news.
Gu Zhian shook his head, "I can't say."
This answer seemed to be what the old man expected. He was not surprised or angry at all, "What is it used for? You can always say it."
Gu Zhian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the old man would be angry.
"To tell you the truth, my daughter was cursed to die at an early age. I tried my best to save the child. I accidentally learned that these elixirs can boost the power of the soul to resist the power of the curse. So I searched everywhere for these elixirs, but nothing happened.
There is still no news, almost no one has heard of these magical medicines."
After hearing this explanation, the old man nodded, "These elixirs cannot be found here, but using them to resist the power of the curse seems a bit childish and useless."
