Ah Jiu was stunned. After taking the brocade box and opening it, he found a pill that was completely green.

A hint of the fragrance of pine and cypress mixed with other unknown medicinal fragrances hits your face.

"Alan didn't know I came out at night, so I have to rush back." Aunt Xue got up and left without even drinking the tea.

As soon as she stood up, she coughed violently a few more times, and said with an elegant smile:

"I'm sorry, I've been suffering from the cold recently. I'd like to say goodbye."

Ah Jiu was stunned. Although she didn't know what this pill was, she came here in the middle of the night just to give it to her?

"If Aunt Xue has something important to do and you hurry back, I'll have someone take you back in a carriage."

Saying that, he was about to go out and shout the flower bell.

"No need!" Aunt Xue quickly stopped: "I heard about what happened in the Fairy Temple today, so I went to Meng to inquire about it. I learned that your eldest brother's life or death was uncertain, so I came here to deliver medicine.

If your brother can be healthy, to be honest with you, Miss Jiu, I still have something important to ask of you. Of course, it is definitely within your ability, so Miss Jiu, please take this pill without being polite."

With that said, Aunt Xue did not listen to Ah Jiu's arrangement and left in a hurry.

Ah Jiu retracted his gaze and looked at the green pill in the brocade box.

Xue Zhen quietly sat in front of Ah Jiu: "This is the resurrection pill."

Ah Jiu was stunned: "As the name suggests? Can you bring the dead back to life?"

"Yes, I didn't want to be too ostentatious in the palace back then. I was just a nobody under King Qin Tianjian Yi Yi. I saw that he had practiced such elixirs, but..."

As he said that, Xue Zhen sighed one after another. He held the untouched tea bowl that Aunt Xue had given him just now, carefully observed the tea color, and said lightly:

"It's just that there are only three such pills in the world, and she actually gave you one."

Ah Jiu pinched it and squinted her eyes to examine it: "Yes, she also said just now that if the eldest brother is healthy, she has important things to entrust to me. It seems that it is not for nothing, but Xue Zhen, this

Does the medicine really work?"

"If it didn't work, Concubine Chang would have died long ago." Xue Zhen broke this connection with one sentence.

"Concubine Chang?" Ah Jiu was startled, and quickly sat down with a blank look: "It seems that she is indeed Concubine Chang."

I am really afraid of what will happen.

Ah Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip to calm down.

Her fingers were trembling a little, and it all showed in Xue Zhen's eyes:

"You don't have to worry, just pretend you don't know. However, she has seen me in the palace before, and it's still not convenient for me to see her."

Seeing that the young master was still thinking about something, Xue Zhen continued:

"I was in Qintian Prison at that time. Maybe my master didn't understand the affairs of the harem. At least all the empresses and concubines wanted to be powerful in the harem, so they chose to get closer to some people from the previous dynasty.

Concubine Chang became friends with King Qin Tianjian in one day during the crisis. Later, Concubine Chang's entire family was slaughtered. Concubine Chang hanged herself as soon as she gave birth to a baby. This was the rejuvenation pill I was ordered to deliver.

At that time, my disciple was still young, and by nature he didn't like to get involved in other people's business. The master said he would send her there, so I sent him there without asking much about what it was. It seems that Concubine Chang was brought back to life after taking this elixir."

All of this is extremely natural.

Ah Jiu was frightened when he heard this. When Xue Zhen finished speaking, Ah Jiu exhaled the sullen breath: "So that's it. It seems that this elixir is effective."

Xue Zhen continued: "The second one is dedicated to the late emperor."

"..." Ah Jiu's heart sank: "But the late emperor is dead."

Let me go, is this elixir useful?

There were three in total. It was like drawing lots. One was alive and one was dead. Ah Jiu suddenly became confused.

"Yes, Master, you have reminded me."

Xue Zhen’s eyes became solemn:

"The late emperor was seriously ill at the time. If this medicine worked, why did he die faster? If it didn't work, why did Concubine Chang come back to life?"

Ah Jiu suddenly blurted out: "Fake medicine."

"Yes, it is not just fake medicine, it may have been replaced by poison." Xue Zhen said decisively:

"Later, the late emperor fell, King Qin Tianjian was sentenced to death, and the entire Meng family was executed. One of these crimes was for colluding with King Qin Tianjian. Of course, it was the man who was killed by the then prince, who is also the current prince.

The officials bribed by King Huachang are holding on to him."

Ah Jiu frowned: "Xue Zhen, do you think Concubine Chang actually switched the contract?"

"Impossible." Xue Zhen stood up and took a few steps with his hands behind his back: "If it is found out, it will definitely implicate the Meng family. Concubine Chang will not do this. Moreover, Concubine Chang's mother family, the Meng family, is a veteran of three dynasties and has made meritorious deeds for generations. The late emperor

He loved Concubine Chang as much as his own daughter, otherwise why would he have tried so hard to make Concubine Chang the queen before his death? It was not just the Meng family who contributed to this."

Ah Jiu exhaled: "The human heart is really sinister."

"Everyone's hustle and bustle is for the sake of benefit. If there is no benefit, there will be no fate. This is what I mean."
