Seeing Zhao Chen back, all the officials were quite surprised.
They were all thinking that Zhao Chen must have been in a hurry to pack up his things and run away after not seeing him back for so long.
If Zhao Chen really ran away, then the emperor would definitely not hold him accountable.
But where do they put the face of the officials who were beaten?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen is back!
This was delivered to the door by Zhao Chen himself!
"Zhao Chen, where is the elixir?" Old Li looked at Zhao Chen, but saw that Zhao Chen had empty hands.
It doesn't appear to be carrying any elixirs.
Old Li Tou couldn't help but be curious.
"Isn't the elixir right here?" Zhao Chen pointed at the dough that Cheng Yaojin kneaded into yellow color.
"What? This thing is an elixir?" Old Li's expression changed immediately.
This is so much of Cheng Yaojin's sweat. If you eat it, you will probably become an immortal.
"Zhao Chen, you are talking nonsense here again." An official pointed at Zhao Chen and yelled angrily.
What did they think Zhao Chen was doing? Didn't they think that the dough Cheng Yaojin kneaded was the elixir that Zhao Chen said?
Everyone just felt that Zhao Chen was teasing them.
"The elixir just now was shrouded in auspicious light, and this is just yellow dough. Zhao Chen, you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"How dare you tease the officials with dough? Do you still have His Majesty in your eyes?"
"Zhao Chen, if you don't give an explanation today, you will definitely not be able to leave this Ganquan Palace!"
Everyone yelled in unison.
If they hadn't been beaten by Zhao Chen just now, and if Zhao Chen was protected by a group of generals behind him, they would have charged forward again!
Cheng Yaojin was also stunned, unable to believe that the dough he had kneaded for so long was actually the so-called elixir that Zhao Chen said.
He didn't know what Zhao Chen asked him to knead the dough for before, but he didn't expect it to be...
If this is an elixir, even if you ask him to take it, he won't take it.
Zhao Chen just glanced at everyone, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and poured it into a wooden basin.
In front of everyone's eyes, in the wooden basin, there was glowing sand spread under the wooden basin.
It was just like the auspicious light of the elixir presented by the Hu monk from the Western Region.
Even in the dark night, it shines brightly.
While everyone was in shock and doubt, they heard Zhao Chen, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong say: "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin, please help you two to cut this big dough into pieces the size of pills."
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong naturally did not hesitate and quickly rolled out pill-sized balls in their hands.
Seeing Zhao Chen pointing at the wooden basin, he threw the balls in his hand into the wooden basin.
Zhao Chen reached out and dug into the wooden basin for a while, then picked it up again, and saw two shining pills appearing in his palm.
It is the same as the elixir offered by the monk from the Western Region before.
This auspicious light is even more brilliant than the so-called elixir before.
"How?" Zhao Chen's voice came under the dim candlelight.
"This...is the elixir?"
"This is too ridiculous. It's obviously made from dough. Why does it look like the elixir offered by Monk Hu?"
"Doesn't it mean that the elixir offered by Monk Hu was also refined using this method?"
"Monk Hu is so vicious that he actually wants to deceive us, the officials of the Tang Dynasty."
"Fortunately, Duke Zhao has a wise eye, otherwise all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty would have become a laughing stock!"
The civil servants remained silent, but the generals were in a state of excitement at this moment.
Previously, they thought that Zhao Chen did something stupid and even started a fight with civil servants.
But at this moment, they even felt that Zhao Chen should beat those stupid guys to death.
The faces of the civil servants were gloomy and uncertain at the moment.
Looking at the "elixir" in Zhao Chen's hand, everyone's face turned as pale as pig liver.
Especially the official who rushed up and was beaten up by Zhao Chen was even more frightened.
If the emperor really took this "elixir", if something happened, their homes would all be confiscated and their families exterminated.
Li Chengqian's back was soaked with cold sweat at this moment.
Thinking of what I just said, it felt like a thorn in my back at this moment.
The emperor's eyes swept over him, and Li Chengqian felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Earlier, Zhao Chen said that he would refine the elixir and ask each of you ministers to take one to fulfill your dream of becoming an immortal."
"In this case, please take one, sir!" Zhao Chen walked up to the civil servant who had yelled the most fiercely before.
The elixir with auspicious light in his hand was delivered to him.
"Zhao...Jun Gong Zhao, it's...I am the official who is wrong. I apologize to you..." The official with injuries on his face is no longer as strong as before.
Looking at Zhao Chen at this moment, his face was filled with a submissive look.
He even begged Zhao Chen for mercy.
"Zhao Chen, how about we just drop this matter?" Another official stood up and persuaded Zhao Chen.
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin, help me catch him." Zhao Chen, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong shouted.
The two men came over and before the man could move, one of them grabbed one of his hands and feet.
The officials kept struggling, trying to get free.
The mouth is also tightly closed, but does not open.
"You'd better open your mouth obediently, otherwise I will definitely break all your teeth." Zhao Chen said to the official in front of him calmly.
It seemed like he was just talking about an extremely common thing.
Qin Qiong was holding the officials in check by Cheng Yaojin, but he was not panicking when he heard Zhao Chen's threat again.
He looked at the emperor begging for mercy, but he didn't see any movement from the emperor.
I had to open my mouth obediently.
"Gu——"
Put the auspicious "elixir" into your mouth.
The official fell to the ground limply at that time.
He put his fingers into his mouth, trying desperately to get out the dough he had just swallowed.
Zhao Chen turned around and glanced at the civil servants in front of him.
When the civil servants saw Zhao Chen looking at them, they stepped back uncontrollably.
"Zhao Chen, that's enough." After all, Old Li Tou couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to Zhao Chen.
Today was to announce that the prince would supervise the country, and that he and the queen would go out of the city to recuperate for a while.
Who would have thought that so much trouble would happen!
If the trouble continues like this, won't Zhao Chen want to stuff all the officials with an "elixir"?
When he thought of the elixir, Old Li Tou felt angry again.
Damn the monk from the Western Regions, dare to tease Li Shimin.
The three tribes should be wiped out.
"Your Majesty, I just saw that His Highness the Crown Prince is very concerned about the elixir. I even said that I will test the elixir for His Majesty. Now that the elixir is gone, why not ask His Highness the Crown Prince to take one as well."
"I will definitely live forever and ascend to the immortal world one day!" Zhao Chen remembered that Li Chengqian had just instructed a group of civil servants to make trouble with him.
Why don't you make him feel bad now?
Li Chengqian's expression changed immediately when he heard that Zhao Chen said that he should also take the elixir.
But at this moment, no one scolded Zhao Chen for him.
The scene where Zhao Chen force-fed officials pills just now is still vivid in my mind.
Who knows if Zhao Chen, a lunatic, will give them pills as soon as he opens his mouth?
When they thought of the yellow pills that Cheng Yaojin had kneaded, everyone felt extremely sick in their hearts.
In addition, the emperor is also here, is it possible that the emperor will watch the prince being forced by Zhao Chen to take this so-called "elixir"?
"Your Majesty, what the Crown Prince just said, I heard every word clearly. The Crown Prince is the crown prince, and he should have made a huge promise. If he breaks his promise this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone." When everyone was in shock and doubt, they suddenly heard Wei Zheng suddenly speak.?
